To start off my friends call me Ellie, but I don't know why. And this is a story of my cousin, Thad.

And his awesome, spectacular, most unordinary room.

My cousin Thad has the best adventures in his room. From playing with monsters to fighting ninjas...

Thad has done it all.

One day my mom brought me to his house to play, and what I saw was so incredible.

I walked into his room and there he was preparing his spaceship to land on the moon.

"Hey Ellie!" He said, "Want to go to the moon with me today?" At first I thought he meant just as pretend, but thats when things got spectacular.

I stepped inside his spaceship, and before I knew it we zoomed out of the house and waved to the clouds. "Hold on, Ellie. It's about to be a bumpy ride!" He yelled.

I tightened my seatbelt a little more, and help on until I could see the moon.

It kept getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. And then....

Boom!!

We landed on right on top of the moon.

Our moon adventure started at that flag the one astronaut guy put out when our grandpa was a kid. And then we walked for miles and miles.

When we finally came across alien pirates with giant forks for swords! "I've seen them before. Run Ellie!" Thad exclaimed.

We started running back for the ship when we heard the oldest alien yell "WAAAIIITTT!". We stopped to find out what the aliens were really doing there.
