Oobleck Rescue
Once upon a time there was a girl named
Gabrielle Kawasaki and her three best friends Ciera
Cummings, Ashleigh Carbonel, and Aurora Lemke.
Gabrielle was a smart, sensible person who always
succeeded in everything she did. Her friends were
the same way.
Suddenly she woke up from a night mare. It was
about three people who were stuck on a planet with
green gooey stuff that was every where and they
couldn't return to Earth.
It was still early in the morning, so she
decided to turn on the television. She skimmed
through the channels and stopped on the channel
eight news. First, they talked about a robbery.
Then, they said, "Citizens we have just gotten
breaking news. Three boys had managed to travel to
the planet of Oobleck, but never came back. We will
give you further information as it becomes
available."
Gabrielle called up her friends and told them
about the dream she had and what she had just saw
on television. She didn't know if it was just a
coincidence or if it was a sign to go and help the
three people on the planet.
She turned on the television again, and waited
for the names to be announced.
The reporter said, "Update! The three boys are
Michael Alvaro, Russell Lamay, and Bleys Wright."
When she heard the name Michael Alvaro, she
realized that he was her cousin.
Right at that moment Gabrielle took the dream as
a sign to help her cousin and his friends. She
called up Ciera, Ashleigh, and Aurora, and told
them her plans. They scheduled January Eighth Two
Thousand Ten at nine forty five in the evening to
be the day they would travel to the planet.
It was late December, so they started building
their ship right away, They used garbage as fuel,
and things they found in the junkyard to build
their giant stereo spaceship. They completed it two
hours before takeoff time.
The girls quickly packed their supplies needed
on their journey to the planet.
At exactly nine forty five p.m. they left Earth
and headed toward Oobleck. It took them exactly
nine days and seven hours to travel such a long
distance.
Throughout the nine days, all they did was
stare at the beautiful galaxy around them.
The planet was finally in sight. It was exactly
like Earth, but the ocean was green and looked
thicker than water and the land was blue and
extremely small. They used a machine to calculate
the amount of people that could stand on the
island.
Gabrielle activated the oobleck punchers and
began searching for her cousin and his two friends.
By the time she searched half the planet, she was
very tired, but she kept on searching. She had
traveled a few more miles when Ashleigh said,"Look,
I see one of them." They threw down a rope ladder
and he very slowly climbed up. When he finally
reached the ship, Ashleigh asked him what his name
was. He said "Russell." Ciera gave Russell a
glass of water.
Ashleigh said,"Do you know what happened to the
others?" He replied, "No, I don't know if they
made it out of the oobleck."
All four of them took turns operating the ship.
It was Russell's turn. While he kept a look out
for his friends, Gabrielle, Ashleigh, Aurora, and
Ciera had a bowling match. Conveniently, they had
a one-lane bowling alley on their ship.
The winner of the match was, of course, the
bowling champ, Gabrielle.
Just then, Russell yelled, "There's Bleys!!!"
They all ran and let down a rope, he climbed up,
and Ciera already had a glass of water ready
because she knew another person had survived.
It was Ashleigh's turn to be the look out. She
watched and watched and she began losing hope.
Suddenly, Aurora and Gabrielle yelled, "Look
everyone it's Michael."
Everyone was so happy that the boys were safe
and away from harm. They partied all night long.
They returned to Earth, and became the greatest
heros of all time.
To show their appreciation they threw a party at
the Social Hall. Every one was invited. People
from every where around the world came to thank
them for risking their lives for the boys. They all
replied, "No problem."
