An Oobleck love story

"I'm board." said Cosmothonga a.k.a. Cosmo (she was the princess of Oobleck).

Cosmo lived on planet Oobleck for her whole life. The planet was very beautiful; it had orange skies with plants clear as the stars if you look to the sky. It had mountains of blue and forests of purple. The planet was populated with many people that could change forms and identities. Oobleck itself was 95% water and 5% land. It was secluded from all the other planets; none of the other planets knew that the planet even existed.

Cosmo was very bored of planet Oobleck and would often times chnge form and fly down to the planet Earth to have some excitement in her life. Her parents forebode of disguising herself as a human and going to earth, it was too dangerous. Her family wanted her to marry an Oobleckian so when she would be in rule, she would have pure breed children.

So she snuck out, she took her own personal spaceship with a couple of her friends and flew to earth. She flew too one of the most hectic cities imaginable, New York. The bright vivid lights amazed her as she walked down the avenues and streets. The billboards dumbfounded her as she saw the stars in bright lights. She stumbled over a little manhole cover in the middle of the street. There was a man next to her luckily there to catch her as she was about to fall.

"Thanks" she said.

" You're welcome. Be careful of the sewer system around here it can be very tricky." The gentleman said.

"Thanks for the advice."

"Do you want to have lunch with me, I know the best places in New York to eat."

"I don't know, I just met you." Cosmo said.

"We can just have lunch and talk, o.k? Then we can just part ways." He said with hope in his voice.

"By the way my name is Jack."

"My name is Cosmo."

"Well what do you say, let's go."

"O.k., but only for lunch."

She knew that it would be impossible for her to travel from planet to planet on a daily basis, so she had to avoid having a relationship with someone from another planet, but she was still a kid. So they had lunch and started talking, after a while they started going out more often. They started to like each other more and it eventually turned into love for each other. He still never found out that Cosmo was an alien from another planet; she didn't have the heart to tell him the truth and hurt him.

Eventually Cosmo's parents found out that Cosmo was leaving the planet without their consent. To find out where she was going they had a small undetectable spaceship follow her wherever she went. When they landed he was supposed to tell her parents exactly where she was and they would send more people to come and get her. She had no idea of what was happening and continued to sneak off the planet Oobleck. One morning, when Cosmo thought everyone was sleeping, she snuck into the spaceship deck and went off in a spaceship. Unknown to her, she was being followed by the man her parents paid to follow her when she left.

So as they traveled through the galaxy never once did Cosmo find out that there was someone on her tail. So she led him to New York, on the planet Earth. Cosmo was going to meet up with her human boyfriend when all of a sudden she heard a loud noise in the air. She looked up in the sky she saw a bunch of spaceships with people coming down looking for her. She hid in the little coffee shop across the street, but there was no hiding from the aliens. Once they found her they grabbed her and put her into the spaceship. Once she was in the ship they left.

"Wait!" Cosmo cried.

"We're going home whether you want to or not." Her father said.

"I have to do something first, I have to say goodbye to someone and tell him the truth."

"Fine if we go back you have to promise me you'll never run away like this again, o.k."

"O.k."

They went back to earth to meet up with the man Cosmo loved. She saw him there at their favorite spot in the entire city, a little coffee shop in the middle of Times Square. She didn't want to but she had to tell him the truth about herself. She had to tell him who she really was. She walked up to him slowly but he couldn't see her because she was behind him.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi, how are you doing."

"Fine. Look I can't stay. I have to tell you something, I'm not who you think I am. I'm an alien from another planet called Oobleck, I traveled all the way to earth to have some excitement in my life."

"If you wanted to break up with me you could have just said so instead of lying to me."

"It's the truth, I swear."

"Yah, I'm sure it is."

At that moment her father grabbed her arm and said they had to leave. She said her final goodbye and left. Jack saw her lift off in the spaceship and thought to himself, "Damn she wasn't lying, I got to get her back."

So on he went looking for a way to get to planet Oobleck. Fortunately for him he found a sympathetic man who was helping Cosmo's parents find her and who was heading back up to Oobleck. When they finally arrived the sympathetic man showed Jack exactly where Cosmo lived and who Cosmo really was. Once he found out Cosmo was the princess of Oobleck and she was being held in the palace, he went to go save her. He didn't have much of a plan though; he just burst his way through the guards and ran up to the front doors. For some reason Cosmo's father let Jack come into the palace.

"What are you doing here?" Cosmo's father said.

"I came to get Cosmo and take her back to planet earth."

"I think not," Cosmo's father said," you have no way to support my daughter and plus she is the heir to throw. She can't go off to earth with some imbecile who isn't even in her race."

"At least I consider her feelings and well being."

"You don't need to have feelings in order to rule, you just need a strong stomach." The king said.

At that moment Jack got so mad he stabbed the King, Cosmo's dad, in the stomach and killed him.

His guards rushed up to save him, but it was too late. Jack was thrown in jail. When Cosmo's father died it was her duty to take rule of Oobleck. When she did, she acquitted Jack of all his wrong doings, and he was released from jail. Soon after the two were married and ruled Oobleck for the rest of their lives. They had a wonderful and happy life soon after.

The End
