Planet Zeebs

 

"Ring, ring, ri-"

"Hello?"

"Hi may I speak to Jack Gordon?"

"Speaking, may I help you?"

"Yes, I am Stuart Souza who works for NASA and we want you to go to Planet Zeebs so you can get a sample of Oobleck because some scientists want to study it."

"Hmm, do I get paid for this?"

"Yes, you get paid a couple hundred thousand dollars ."

"Okay, I'll do it. Bye."

"Bye."

"Who was that honey?" said Jack's wife.

"Nobody. It was just some guy from NASA, who wanted me to go on a mission to Planet Zeebs."

"Oh that's nice. when do you leave?" said Jack's wife.

"I leave next month," said Jack.

So Jack went to the training station to work on his piloting skills. The rest of the crew also had to train. The names of the crew were Cindy, Ralph, Alex, David and Todd. They hadto learn about all the new technical gadgets on the spaceship. It took them weeks to finish training. "Hey are you guys excited about going on the trip?" asked Todd.

"I'm very exci-"

"Shut up, I'm trying to focus," said Jack.

"Hmm, what a jerk," thought Cindy.

The next day they were launcing off so they had to get a good rest. Everybody went to bed early. Finally, it was the day to launch. Everybody was excited. Even Jack was excited. "Okay everybody, are you ready to launch?" said Stuart Souza.

"Yes, sir." said the crew.

"We are to launch in 10 seconds. 10-9-8-7-," said the announcer.

"Are you ready for this, David?" asked Alex.

"I sure am."

"3-2-1, blast off!"

RRRRR-Bomm, "We made it!" shouted Ralph.

"We're floating, we are actually floating!" shouted Todd.

"Oh pipe down Cheech," said Jack, "We have to the planet and return to earth in two months, so no foolin' around!"

Two weeks later they were almost there. They passed the time by learning new things and getting to know each other more. "Soo what are supposed to be gettingat this Planet Zeebs?" asked Todd

"We are supposed to collect a sample of Oobleck. I know you are going to ask me what Oobleck is. It's Planet Zeebs' ocean. The planet is very similar to ours. It has an atmosphere, oxygen, plants and all kinds of things. Let me warn you now, if you fall in you might be able to get out. It is really sticky. Oh yaeh, stay out of my way," explained Jack in sassy voice.

Later they arrived at Planet Zeebs. "We made it," said Ralph.

"We have to turn on the heat rays on so the Oobleck becomes a solid," said Jack.

"All right," said Alex.

" Okay everybody, you can go out side. The doors are opening," said Cindy.

 

"Grab a container and a shovel," said Jack.

"Hey Jack, I think the Oobleck is melting because you are sinking," said Todd.

"Holy Guacamole, I'm stuck! Get me the heck out of here!" screamed Jack.

"Hey Ralph and Alex, go get some rope!" yelped Cindy.

"I have the rope," said Ralph.

"Jack grab the rope! Everybody pull!" yelped Cindy with a really loud voice.

"He's almost out you guys," said Todd.

"Uhh, I think I'm going to break apart," groaned Jack.

"Pull everybody, pull!"

Shnnk, "I'm free!" screamed Jack.

"Thanks guys. I would have never made it if you weren't here." As Jack sat and thought about the trip, he realized he had been a jerk. "Hey guys, I'm sorry for what I did to hurt your feelings," apologized Jack. "I have been a real jerk."

"No problem," said the crew.

"Let's go get a sample of Oobleck and go home," said Jack.

So Jack learned how to work with other people and they all went home and enjoyed their time up in space together. "So honey how was your trip in space?" asked Jack's wife.

"It was great, I enjoyed it a lot," said Jack.

"Ring, ring, ri-"

"Hello?"

"Hello, may I speak to Jack Gordon?"

"Speaking."

"Sorry to interrupt you but, will you take another to Planet Zeebsto get another specimen for the scientists to study."

"Uhh sure, who may I ask is speaking?"

"Oh it's Stuart Souza, you might remember me. You are going to have to get your own space crew this time."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

"Looks like I have to go on another mission to planet Zeebs again." said Jack.

Jack called Cindy, Alex, Ralph, Todd, and David to join him and they did. What will happen next time to Jack and his buddies?
