And their mission Mother Earth
“It is a wonderful day, isn’t it?” Emma asked her friends Julie and Gabe with a smile on her face. Julie, Gabe, and Emma have been best friends since elementary school. Finally, Julie’s and Gabe’s parents allowed them for a sleepover at Emma’s house. But their parents did not know about their secret mission.
1. Our First Adventure Together!
Emma, Gabe, and Julie have a big mission tonight! They love to adventure and help people… well… in their cosplays. But this time, it is for real and it is a serious mission because the lands and the water bodies are filled with plastic and garbage. They aim to save mother earth! Wait… we are going too fast… let us first talk about what the girls like to do and then we will move on to the serious part. Julie likes to plant, Emma likes animals, and Gabe is always curious about aliens and she believes they are real! Which is totally normal, right? Now to the serious part!
2. The Serious Part!
They thought of going to space! Too fast to process, I know but we have to move on! I am sorry, I will start again. They thought of going to space! Julie’s cousin Clara was an astronaut. She arranged a rocket for them… By the way, this was year thirty twenty-three and the kids were allowed to go to space! So, the rocket was huge and it was specially customised according to their preferences. Everything was arranged but there was only one problem… How do they get out of Emma’s house?
3. Escape!
“How do we escape from this house?” Gabe asked in a hurry. “I do not know,” Emma said. “Calm down, we will just escape through the window,” said Julie proudly. “But this window has a lock that only my parents can open,” said Emma. “I will count to three and we will put all our strength to open this window,” Gabe said. “Alright, here we go three…two…one… open!” The three girls fell down but the window opened. Hurray!!! The girls jumped with joy. But there was still a problem. The window was too small!
4. Plan B!
“Plan A did not go as we planned,” Julie said sadly. “I thought I could finally make some alien friends,” said Gabe. ”Do not give up already! I think I have an idea. There is a small door on the ceiling that will lead us to the attic. If we manage to open that door, maybe we could find a way to get out of this house” said Emma. “There is no harm in trying, so let us not waste time and do it,” Gabe said. Suddenly, Julie’s mobile rang. “Who is it?" both the girls asked curiously to Julie. “It is Clara!” said Julie. She took the call and the girls stood silently. Some minutes passed by while Julie was talking to Clara, she hung up the mobile and froze for a few seconds and she screamed “Clara will only lend us the rocket for three days!”
5. Hurry!
“What? There is no way we will be able to explore space by that time,” Emma said. “There is no time to talk, it is already midnight!” said Gabe. “We will first get out of here, then we will figure out a way for Clara to lend us more time,” said Emma.
6. Reach The Door!
The girls should get to the attic fast and should also be careful not to wake up Emma’s parents. They did not have a ladder so they had to figure out how to climb to the attic. They pushed Emma’s stool towards the bed, but it was still not tall enough. “What do we do? We need something more tall to reach the door,” said Gabe. Emma said, “There might be some tall books at my mother’s library, but who will go there?” “It is your house so you have to go, but I knew something like this would happen so I have three walkie-talkies with me. If something happens then just contact us,” said Julie. Julie and Gabe wished her luck and gave her a walkie-talkie and a torch, pushed her outside the room, and closed the door.
7. The Key!
Emma switched on the torch and tucked the walkie-talkie into her belt. She tip-toed while climbing the stairs and slowly crawled to the library’s door. But, she did not have the key so she crawled to her parent's room and started searching for the key. She found the key under the pillow. She crawled back to the library door and opened it.
8. Inside The Library!
Emma got inside the library and searched for tall books. She found out that all the books were on the top rack so she slowly climbed the rack and almost got them. But her walkie-talkie fell down and it started an alarm but it stopped. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. She jumped down and hid under a table. It was her dad but thankfully he did not see her or the walkie-talkie, even though it was fully crushed into tiny pieces. She climbed again, took all the books, crawled, and tip-toed back to her room.
9. The Lock!
They stacked the books but the door had a lock. “We only have a little bit of time left and we do not have enough time to look for the key,” said Julie. “If we find something strong enough, maybe we could break the lock,” said Gabe. They did not waste any time and searched for something strong. They searched everywhere but the only thing which was strong enough in the room was an old metal jewellery box which was special to Emma but they did not have any other way.
10. Going Through The Attic!
The three girls finally opened the small door! They switched on their torch, took their walkie-talkies, the mobile and squeezed into the door, and went inside the attic. It was old, dusty, and seemed like it had not been cleaned for years! It was so dusty and small that they sometimes bumped their heads on the roof. There was nothing much special inside the attic, just a usual old attic. But, they did not find any window. It was suffocating but Gabe soon found a huge wooden piece with a hook on the roof. It was a normal hook but it opened up to the sky.
11. Morning!
The sky was very beautiful because of the sunrise. But, time was running out! “Guys, we have to hurry because my parents will wake up at six and it is already two in the morning!” said Emma. “Relax Emma, it is just two. We still have many hours left,” said Gabe. They all yawned and slowly fell asleep. A few hours later, Julie woke up. She called Gabe and Emma but they did not wake up. They woke up after a long time. They jumped out, and finally, they were outside.
12. Outside!
They called Clara and she said that she will pick them up soon. They waited for a long time but she finally came! They got into her car and they reached the spaceport! They got into the rocket. It was very big and was heavily decorated with satin ribbons and it also had some space food arranged. They put on their space suits and sat on the seats with their seatbelts on. They were all ready to go!
13. Adventure To Space!
They were very happy but nervous. They did not need to do anything because it was an automatic rocket. It started off with a rushing sound. It felt really comfortable because it was so fast that they did not even feel it was moving! Clara gave each of them a tracking device so that she could track them down and also contact them. Many days passed, and they got a little tired of eating space food because it was so dry and disgusting. They had to brush their teeth while flying. Gabe was always looking out of the windows to see if she could spot any aliens while the other girls played and did their own thing.
14. Turbulence!
They started missing the Earth and gravity. It was a normal day until they suddenly heard a thud and the rocket was about to crash! The girls panicked and started running around screaming. After some time, they fainted and became unconscious.
15. The Unknown Planet!
When they woke up, they saw many small, colourful munchkins gathered around, staring at them with their huge eyes and they looked harmless. Julie and Emma were scared but Gabe was happy to see the aliens. They tried to contact Clara but it did not work. They were panicking until they saw a little one among them, squishing out of the crowd and it started speaking English! They did not know how he knew English but he introduced himself as Mayor Phil and he was the mayor of this small alien town. They were still scared but the aliens looked innocent. The mayor invited them to his house.
16. Visiting the Mayor's House!
When they were walking through the crowd, every alien looked scared and looked at them like some giants that came to invade their planet. The houses on this planet were different from those on Earth. The ones here did not have a specific shape and were made with material available only on this planet, which was very much jelly-like. The mayor's house was the biggest in town but it was the smallest house they had ever seen. Inside his house, there was his wife and his mother. The house was quite small for them to fit in but they were able to get in because of the high ceiling. The mayor was very kind and loving and he did let them explore the town.
17. Exploring the Town
The town was quite big indeed and there were also a lot of places to explore. The sky looked like cotton-candy and they could see all the planets at one glance! The ground looked like clouds and the buildings seemed to float in the air! Julie and Emma were scared of them but Gabe was sure they would soon become friends. After exploring, they tried to contact Clara but it seemed like the tracking device was destroyed during the crash. They asked the mayor how they could fix it. He took them to a person who was famous for fixing anything and everything. But even he could not fix it.
18. About the Earth
Phil often asked them about what it was like to live on Earth. So they tried to explain all the pollution and how humans were slowly destroying the Earth. Phil said that he had a friend who could maybe help with this, so he took them to him. He said that the cure will be ready in a few days and that he was happy to help them save the Earth. He said that the cure would be able to take in the contaminated water and the polluted air and purify them!
19. The Cure
They waited for the cure until it was ready and also tried contacting Clara very often. One day when Emma tried to call Clara, it worked and they were so happy about this. They asked her to pick them up. But many days passed as they waited patiently for the cure. Emma and Julie started to be friends with the aliens and they played games with them. Phil was quite sad when he heard that they would soon return back to earth and of course, Julie, Emma, and Gabe were sad too. The next day when they were playing outside, they saw a rocket landing.
20. Goodbye!
It was Clara! They were happy and sad about leaving but they knew they had to leave one day. They waited until the cure was ready to be collected. They hugged the little munchkins before they got into the rocket. They had heard that the aliens did not usually cry but they did start to cry and Emma, Gabe, and Julie also could not hold back their tears. They had a great time on this planet and did not wish to leave but they had to. They thanked Phil for everything, for all the help and love he offered them, and promised that they would definitely come back again someday.
