Space Adventures
It was December first 2040 at 8:00 am. The dew
was fresh on the trees and grass at Kennedy space
Center The morning air was cool and crisp. Towering
speakers loudly crackled 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1!
There was a rumbling sound under the shuttle then
someone yelled,"lift off!" The USS Corkshut was
flying full speed ahead to the planet Oobleck. The
take off was smooth as everyone yelled in joy.
Everyone aboard stared out the window as the Earth
became smaller and smaller.
In hyper space Assistant Captain John, spotted
something in the distance. Then he saw some red
flashes. He finally came to a conclusion that it
was UFOs trying to zap them and destroy their space
craft. Captain Keola told his assistant , John to
steer so he would be able to shoot at the
UFOs.Captain Keola kept on shooting and shooting,
almost hitting the UFOs but missed. Assistant
Captain John told the Captain, that he would help
in the attack. But Captain Keola shrugged him off.
He continued to misfire. They almost got hit but
luckily John dodged the red streak of light as it
whizzed by.
It took a long time for the Captain to get rid
of the UFOs.But it finally ended with the last ship
exploding in a eye blinding green flash.
A passenger named Keli'i asked if they needed
any help. Captain Keola yelled back fiercely
saying,"I don't need help and especially not from
you!"Keli'i slowly backed away cautiously
mumbling,"I just thought you could need a little
help." Keola always made the calls. He gives orders
and doesn't take any from anyone.
They were on their way once again to the plant
Oobleck. Nothing was in their way now that Keola
got rid of those UFOs. But they guessed wrongly.
Disaster struck just as they were nearing the
planet Oobleck. Meteors were just ahead of them,
directly in their path. they could not dodge this.
They were surrounded.
Captain Keola immediately took command of one of
the lasers and started firing at everything in
their path. John asked if he needed any help but he
yelled back,"NO!" John backed away. He stood there
and watched every meteor be blown to
smithereens.
As he was watching, he heard the elevator door
pop open. It was Keli'i. John gave him a certain
kind of look which made Keli'i know that there was
no help needed. Keli'i and John watched as their
captain zapped each meteor like he was a little kid
playing a video game. Not one meteor came close to
the USS Corkshut
When it was over, Keola chanted,"who's da
man!?who's da man!?Keola is da man!?" Assistant
Captain John just leaned back and rolled his eyes
in irritation.
They were now back on track nearing the planet
Oobleck. As they approached the the green sea of
Oobleck the USS Corkshut gently placed itself in
the muck using a big cork under them as a flotation
device.
Captain Keola finally sat back and relaxed in
the USS Corkshut listening to laughter and the
ringing of machines in Dave and Busters. He
breathed with ease now that everything was perfect.
Assistant Captain John was on the look out when
he saw something emerging out of the Oobleck. Two
big red eyes appeared. They became bigger and
bigger as it became closer and closer. All of a
sudden the USS Corkshut disappeared under the green
mystery. All they could see was the green color of
the Oobleck.
Captain Keola took over everything pushing John
aside. The captain frantically pressed all buttons
he could get his fingers on. Trying anything to
free the USS Corkshut from the grip of the alien
monster.
One of the passengers named Koa yelled,"We're
all going to die. These five simple words created
total chaos in the ship. Keola tried shooting the
laser but it did not work under the Oobleck. John
kept on telling Keola that together they could
escape the monster or everyone will die. Keola kept
on shaking his head saying,"no,no,no." He finally
came to his senses and let John help.
John remembered that Oobleck with heat. So right
away John turned on the rockets hoping that they
would work. He heard a rumble under the ship. The
rockets were on. The Oobleck quickly hardened
around the monster and he let go of the ship.
They quickly floated to the surface. With the
rockets already on, John released the helium
balloons in to the air, at the same time Keola
released the big cork leaving it at the Oobleck.
Just as they left off, the monster leaped out of
the Oobleck and grabbed the bottom of the ship. But
with pinpoint accuracy John shot it between its
eyes. It fell back into the Oobleck. They were home
free. In the background John and Keola heard
everyone cheering. On the way home there were
spectacular sites of stars, planets, and beautiful
home sweet home, Earth.
