What I Did On My Space Vacation
By Melissa Givens
When I went on my space vacation, I traveled to so many places and saw so many strange things, I am so sad it is over. I traveled to Pluto in a spaceship first and went on from there to the sun itself.
On Pluto, I saw navy blue, flying zebras called Nabufooz Horses. I kept one, and named it Pluto Spots. I rode it everywhere in outer space and it showed me all the planets.
We went from Pluto to Neptune to Uranus then on to Saturn and stopped there to explore. We jumped on the icy rings and slid on them while Pluto Spots let me ride on her back. Then we raced five other creatures on the icy rings. The creatures we raced were all from the planet Saturn and still we beat all of them. One creature was so pretty that I almost fell off Pluto Spots trying to get a closer look!
We went from Saturn to Jupiter and then to Mars, we skipped Earth because we didn't need to tour where I live.
Venus was named after some god, and I found this baby dragon and I named her Venus because she was so pretty, like a god.
We landed on Mercury last and found a sun-safe shuttle waiting for us. The sign next to the shuttle said, "This is the Howler Sun-Safe Craft. It is made for people like you to travel to the bright sun, and not get burnt to a crisp or have eye surgery because your eyes have been burnt right out of your head. The only things you need are your guts, and our 100,000,000,000,000 mega, heavy-duty sun-safe sunglasses."
We bought our sunglasses and got on the space craft and headed for the bright, huge, hot star. While on the ship, the pilot said over the intercom, "Everyone needs to put on their sun-safe suits before we go any farther. Please look in the box marked with your type of species and get on your suits now, thank you." I looked and found the three boxes I needed, "Nabufooz Horses", for Pluto Spots, "Human", for me, and "Small Dragons", for Venus.
The spacecraft started to move again, and it got REALLY hot! Venus started to accidentally blow fire on me, and I didn't even feel it! Right then I knew something was wrong. All of a sudden the Howler Sun-Safe Craft turned around and I looked and we were headed for earth!
We fell into water and my "baby" dragon grew so big, Venus carried both me and Pluto Spots back to my house and we stayed there, and I built a house for Pluto Spots and Venus and we lived happy together, me, Pluto Spots, and Venus, for the rest of that week, and the weeks to follow. Venus grew 50 feet taller, and Pluto Spots grew 10 feet taller. We are still having fun, even as I write this now, maybe even forever!!!!!!
