Space Adventures- Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Jennie stared up at the stars. Their twinkling lights were everywhere. They filled the whole sky. They were so far away, yet so near. All of a sudden, she wanted to drift past them and see them lighting up the night sky. She wanted to go into space. But how could she do it? She was only fourteen years old and 5 ft. tall. But, she would grow……

Jennie stared up at the stars. It had been four years, but she was finally drifting past the stars. “Ahhhh”, she sighed in bliss. This had been worth the wait. She was finally in space. In 2287, she had finally graduated from space school, soon after, she had gotten a ship and traded her home planet for the stars. Her new home wasn’t a planet at all, it was her new purple spaceship. She had enough supplies for at least ten years. She also had a contract to go to the Far Galaxy. No one really knew anything about the Far Galaxy, but hey, it was an adventure.

This new life was a far cry from life on her home planet, the planet fourth from the sun, the big red one. Mars. As she thought about home she began to be a little homesick, she longed for the space bubble on Mars that had always been her home. As she started to sink down into depression, there was a bump on the side of her space craft! Her little black dog, SP (space pup), started to run in circles. What could be hitting her ship?

Suddenly, there was another bump on the side of the ship, harder this time. Then another, and another. Her ship was being whacked!!! Then came the hardest shove yet, and she, her dog, and her new purple space ship were being forced out of the sky. By an ugly gray monster of a ship! And her ship was quickly falling towards another planet. An unknown, mysterious, and maybe dangerous planet.
