Space Travel

The day was like any other day except the boys were 

going to be the first children to brave space travel and 

land on the moon. Timmy was ecstatic, Tommy was 

not. “Yay,” cried Timmy. “Blasting bother bat!” Tommy 

complained. “Liven up Tommy,” Dad said, “this is a once 

in a lifetime opportunity!”   The twins boarded the space 

ship, closely followed by dad, along a metal ramp leading 

out from the funny shaped building they were just in 

before. The boys stepped in side and were shocked by the 

freezing cold air that met them. There were flashing lights, 

many flashing lights, the controls keeping them safe over the 

many days that they would spend in space.

The views, oh, the views were amazing. Australia and its 

brown deserts. Then icy Antarctica, its frozen surface as white 

as a dove. The boys could see the whole earth. Clouds swirling 

in the sky and blue oceans covering the rest of the Earth. All 

the passengers were in awe and there was silence while they 

took it all in. “Blasting bother bat!” Tommy muttered. 

Suddenly feeling extremely nauseous.

Several days later, the ship made contact with the surface of 

the moon and all the passengers woke up with a jolt. The 

passengers ate a breakfast of tubed nutrients food. Timmy 

thought tasted disgusting but he ate it anyway. The crew 

issued everyone a space suit. “These are so cool!” Timmy 

yelled excitedly. The crew members split everyone into groups 

and gave them a tour of the moon. “What ever you do you 

cannot go behind that cliff,” the tour guide warned the group. 

Of course Timmy, bursting with curiosity, wanted to go behind 

that cliff.

Later, back in the space ship, Timmy walked into his brother’s 

room, his helmet in his hands. “No we can’t,” Tommy said, 

already knowing what his brother was going to ask of him. 

“Please,” Timmy pleaded, “we’ll be back within thirty minutes 

and if you don’t come I’ll go by myself!” Timmy stormed out of 

the room. Tommy followed just to make sure his brother didn’t 

do anything too stupid. He ran and caught up with Timmy. 

“Alright,” Tommy said, “ I better come and keep an eye on 

you.” Once outside, the brothers hurried to the cliff and were 

shocked at what they found.

The animals, aliens or whatever they were, were prowling 

around and digging the ground up, obviously in search of 

something. The aliens’ green skin and bulgy eyes made them 

look very fierce. Timmy tried to get closer by hiding behind a 

close rock. As he got closer, the alien’s antennae twitched. 

Suddenly the aliens spun around, capturing the two boys and 

placing them in laser barred prison cells. The twins were 

loaded onto a ship, smaller than the one they arrived on, and 

were flown off towards the aliens’ home planet. “Blasting 

bother bat!” Tommy complained, “How will we ever get 

home?”
