   Lost in Space  

 By Eddie Choi & Jack Mattingly

ROOOOM, ROOOOOM!!! Rainbow Boy was playing with his toy rocket ship and all of a sudden he came up with a good idea. His mom and he were in Cloud Cuckoo Land when he thought of the great idea. His idea was to build a very high tech rocket ship. It took a lot of work but they finally finished it in about 1 week. They were so tired of working but the second they finished it they sprang to joy!

Rainbow Boy was so excited that he wanted to fly around the earth.  He and his mom got into the rocket ship to try it out but when they got in Rainbow Boy accidentally pressed the wrong button and they shot up into the air!

They zoomed through space and then there was a black and purple circle thingy and they were heading right toward it! They tried to turn back but it was too late! They both closed their eyes and thought they were going to die.

They soon saw planets that they did not recognize. When they looked at the controls and it said that the ship they built was damaged so they went to the nearest planet they could get to. They tilted the controls near the planet but they knew it was going to have to be a crash landing! They tucked back into their seats and then made a ball in their seats and then the rocket hit ground. Luckily, the rocket ship was built very safe.

They looked through the window of the ship and it looked like a huge sandy place. Rainbow Boy went outside to see if the oxygen was clear, and, in fact, it was! They wandered around for miles until they found a cave that looked like it was part house too. They wandered inside the cave and then they saw something moving in the dark! They asked “Who's there?”

They heard an evil cackle. They thought if they should go out or stay in and ask for help. They decided to go ask for help. They asked if the creature who lived in the cave if he had any parts to rebuild the space ship. All he answered was, “My parts!” They asked again but all he answered was, “MY PARTS!” even louder than before.

They decided that they should go find shelter and come back at midnight and try to steal the parts. They left the cave and soon found a village.   The creatures at the village were big, crazy aliens with masks on but seemed nice and let them stay for a while. They asked the aliens if they knew about a creature that lives in a cave. They said, “Yes.”  They also said, “It is a goblin named Bob and he is a scavenger for parts. He will never give up his parts.”

“That is why we are going to steal them,” said Mommy.

“Good luck with that,” said the alien.

They left and went to steal the parts for the rocket ship, “Bye” said Rainbow boy and Mommy to the Alien.

They were finally there and the cave was pitch dark. They tried their flashlight but it was out of batteries so they bumped into the walls a few times but until their eyes adjusted to the dark they did not know where they were going. They saw a little skinny path that kept going down. Then they crashed into something and it made a loud BANG!  

All of a sudden Rainbow Boy hit something. He was taking a risk and picked it up. He moved his hand around the object and it was shaped like something he felt before and then he realized it was a flashlight. He turned it on and tested it out and it worked! He shined the flashlight around and all he saw was a bunch of junk. They split up and looked for the parts for  the rocket ship. It took them a while and then luckily they found the parts.

All of a sudden they heard the cackle that they heard the day before. They shined the flashlight at where the sound was coming from and they saw Bob. Quickly, Rainbow Boy and Mommy got the parts and sprinted outside of the cave! They went to their rocket ship and attached the parts they got from Bob and they knew that they didn’t have much time. Then, when they were done adding the parts they locked the door of the rocket ship and slept in their little apartment with two beds.

While they were sleeping Bob snuck near the rocket ship and tweaked it a little bit so that it wouldn’t work  and Rainbow Boy and Mommy didn’t hear a thing.

The next morning when they woke up they tried to get back to Cloud Cuckoo Land but the rocket still did not work. Then they saw some footprints that looked like footprints they saw in the cave. It took a while for them to find out what happened and then they fixed it. It was too late at night to take off so they had to stay one more night because they were afraid that Bob would sabotage the rocket ship so they waited till midnight and they set a trap. They wanted to see if he would come back and tweak it. They were hiding behind their rocket ship and waited till Bob was trying to tweak it. Finally, Bob came and they had  bubble gun and they blew it and then  Bob was trapped in it. Then Rainbow Boy and Mommy pushed him back into the cave. They blocked the cave with a rock to make sure that he did not escape.

Rainbow Boy went to a rocket ship camp before on Cloud Cuckoo Land  so he knew how to fly a rocket ship. So, when they got back to their rocket ship they flew it back to Cloud Cuckoo Land.

They promised not to fly their rocket ship ever again.
