Mission to the Planet Oobleck

The mission to Oobleck was the biggest space trip in the century. This will be the first time someone will travel to this mysterious planet. Oobleck is forty million miles away from Earth. Chantel, Shalayne, Kelsey, Kristin and Kaylene are the crewmembers assigned to this mission. Each astronaut was different from the other except for the twins, Kelsey and Kristin. Chantel was a neat and organized person, which always had things categorized in order. She needed to have things her way. If someone wanted to go bike riding and she wanted to go rollerblading, she would keep on arguing till she won. Chantel is the Captain of the ship. Shalayne is different from Chantel. She is the Pilot of the ship. Shalayne is flexible and thoughtful with other people's feelings and desires. The next person going on this trip was Kayla. Not many people liked Kayla because she was bossy, and is never serious/is always goofing around, and is so messy she never cleans up after herself. Kayla is the Co-Pilot and will be assisting Shalayne. She was always picking on people if she didn't care for you. Then there's Kelsey and Kristin the twins who are responsible to keep the ship clean. They both don't look like each other but have similar personalities, such as being quiet, shy and don't share their desires. The last person was Kaylene who was happy and always laughing. She was also so loud that you could hear her a block away. Kaylene will be the engineer if any mechanical problems occur.

Ship's name, Ipu was about to be launched into space. Captain Vernon was doing the countdown. The count down began 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BLAST OFF!!! Everyone that was working at the space site was jumping for joy when the space ship lifted off successfully. The Ipu was in the air and heading for Oobleck. The girls were so thrilled since they couldn't see anything but stars. They were in the galaxy for so long that they thought they would never reach there.

When Ipu was getting ready to land on the planet Oobleck. The cork on the ship came out and landed on the Oobleck successfully, but was a little bouncy. Chantel looks around and said, "We can go outside, the oxygen level is normal". "Move out of my way", Kayla said very rudely. The girls looked around the planet to see if there were any signs of life. Then five aliens suddenly started to come out from the Oobleck very slowly. The creature that came walking towards them was bright red. All the girls froze. The creature said, "Haaiii", in a loud voice. The girls said, "HI" very softly and timid. Then other aliens started to come towards the ship. The alien told the humans that they were Oobleckians. The girls introduced themselves. The girls were very hungry since the long journey. So the Oobleckians told the girls if they wanted to feast on some of their traditional grinds. The girls said yes since they hadn't eaten for a days. So Oo (head of the Oobleckians) took them to a place were Oobleckians love to eat, Green Shack. They ate food that was strange to them, but tried it. Oo asked each girl what she thought about the food. Chantel said that the thing looked like bacon, thought it was very interesting. Oo said that it was called boo. Shalayne was just happy that she had something to eat and satisfy her hunger. Kelsey and Kristin just said that it was good. Kaylene started laughing and said that the food looked like it was in the microwave and was heated for hours. Kayla said that the food was terrible and that she wanted real food, a hamburger. Oo said that he was sorry, but this is what we eat here. Chantel told Kayla that she should be happy that these people gave them something to eat. If not then they would have starved. Captain Vernon started to speak on the microphone and told the girls that they needed to come back home. As they tried to release the corks one of them got stuck. The aliens helped pull out the cork. The Oobleckians waved goodbye. Then the Ipu was on her way home.

As they were in outer space they saw their beautiful planet called Earth. The Ipu made a safe landing at the space base. "Welcome back girls", said Captain Vernon. The girls told the Captain about their amazing adventure on Oobleck and the inhabitants. They told the Captain that they played Oobleckian games. One of them was called Oockers. The game was kind of like checkers only with the green rocks from the planet. The Captain was so joyful that the girls had a good time. He said that the main mission was to make them get along better. Since the girls got along so well Captain Vernon said, "So what do you say about another space trip to Oobleck to meet your friends".
