The Loss Of Fuel

It was a day of excitement. It was the day that the first and only man made spaceship was going into space and it was going to be flying to the new planet that people new as planet Oobleck.

The people that were going to fly were the crew that was known as the one and only special number one crew: The Green Team.

This was not only a team that was a part of the Onizuka Space Center. This was a team that was number one and this team always did everything correct. There was nothing on a mission that they couldn't conquer.

The people on this team were, Captain Keani, Kamu the silent one, Kamyl the friendly one, Kaleb the talkative one, Charlotte the smart one, Ianeke the funny one, Chase the chef, Claire the phone operator, and Ashleigh the space station commander. This is the one and only special number one green team.

 So they were all getting prepared for their one and only lift off up into space in search of the planet Oobleck. Finally it was time for the spaceship to take off into space. They were all ready to go and explore the planet Oobleck.

 " Everyone get ready because the greens team is going to take off the countdown is going on. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,three, two, one. People we have a success our spaceship is taking off and they are gone. Good luck green team and make your space commander proud." said commander Ashleigh with confidence in her face. " Ok my people we are in space and we are going to the planet Oobleck. Be prepared because we still didn't find out what kind of living things are on that planet. So please be aware of everything that you see and do." explained Captain Keani.

The green team was in search of the planet Oobleck for almost one day and a half now and they were getting a little sick of staying in the spaceship all night and all day so they decided to speed up the spaceship a little.

The next day everyone woke up to a hair raising alarm going off in the spaceship and it was warning them that they were only half a mile away from their destination.

 So Captain Keani turned off the alarm and they all want to work getting ready to land the spaceship on the planet Oobleck.

 Then they realized that the had to make sure that everything was ready to land in the Oobleck ocean. On planet Oobleck they made that name up for the planet because the ocean on planet Oobleck was mad of a weird gooey substance called Oobleck.

 The spaceship that they were flying in had a bottom that was shaped like a boat because the ocean on planet Oobleck reacts to different types of touches and only certain types of object can float on the surface of the oobleck. So they made the spaceship wit a boat shaped bottom so that it will float on the top of the Oobleck just like a regular boat does on regular water.

Then another alarm went off. It was signaling that the spaceship was beginning to come low on gas. So the green team began to go even faster so that they reached planet Oobleck faster so that they don't run out of gas in the middle of no where.

They reached the planet Oobleck in less then ten minutes. Right when they got their the alarm went off again and signaled that they were out of gas.So Captain Keani told Kamu who was known as the silent one and told him to turn off the fire blazing boosters and to let out the parachute.

They needed to land in the ocean of oobleck and they needed to float down into the oobleck so that it didn't give them any trouble when they land. The boat shaped bottom of their boat would hit the oobleck and make it hard so that it stops the ship from sinking.

So they began to float down into the oobleck and slowly they madit down to the oobleck and hit the surface.

 " All right people we made it down to the oobleck now let's rest because we have a big day ahead of us. Tomorrow we are going to go off the spaceship and we are going in search of a place that we can get some mushrooms to fuel up our spaceship. So they all rested and the next morning they all woke up and they took the little raft that they kept inside the spaceship just in case and they needed it. then they floated all the way to shore.

They made it to planet Oobleck and they were on land looking for somewhere that they could find mushrooms to fuel up their spaceship. So they all went together in a big group to go and look for some mushrooms. While they were walking they met up with a girl. Her name was Lowena. She lived there on the planet Oobleck butt all of her family had died so she lived there alone.

When they saw her Captain Keani said," Excuse me, my name is Keani and i am the captain of this crew here. We lost fuel on our way here and we don't have anymore to refuel our spaceship. Do you know of anywhere where we can find some mushrooms. Well you see our spaceship is a spaceship that takes only mushrooms as it's fuel."

" Actually you came to the right person because I know just where you can find a bunch of mushrooms." said Lowena excitedly.

" Really can you tell us where," asked Captain Keani impatiently.

 " Well do you see that cave right there? In that cave there lives the one and only Mush Man. In that cave there are lots of mushrooms. All you need to do is go inside and ask him politely if you can have some mushrooms and he will give them to you." explained Lowena.

" Thank you very much for helping us we will never forget you," said Captain Keani courteously. So Captain Keani and her crew and they headed to the cave to go and get some mushrooms from the Mush Man so that they could get fueled up and they could get home. They got to the cave and walked in very carefully. Then they heard a deep shaky voice say, " Who has entered the cave of the Mush Man?"

" Um... Excuse me Mr. Mush Man, I am very sorry for disturbing youform whatever you were doing but my name is Captain Keani and this is my crew. We have come from planet earth to explore your wonderful planet Oobleck and we ran out of fuel when we got here. The thing we came to you for is, we wanted to ask you if we could have some mushrooms from your cave? Our spaceship that we came here in is fueled up on by mushrooms. so can we please borrow some mushrooms from your cave and we won't bother you anymore?"

Now the Mush Man wasn't a very nice guy to be around because he didn't like it when people bothered him. So he told them that they could have some mushrooms so that they get off his beloved planet and so that they didn't bother him.

" Well then i guess you could have some mushrooms as long as you don't bother me anymore." explained the Mush Man to Captain Keani.

So they gathered the mushrooms that they needed for their spaceship. Then they left the Mush Man alone. They got back got back to their spaceship and then they were finally aloud to get off the planet Oobleck. They did get back to planet earth and boy did they have a story to tell their children and grandchildren and their great-grandchildren after `that. Then so on and so on.
