Chapter 3 - SPEED

spin went to the rocket league, and the local space flight attendant said " hello how can I help you?" and spin said "i would like to go to a place where there's spinach." she looked up in her giant database on her computer about the size of her hand. of course it had holograms and such, but it was the size of your HAND for heavens sake! everyone knows you can just look at your fingernail and that works. why was she using something so big? because the database was so big that even the largest regular model, the size of your WHOLE FINGER wasn't enough to hold it all. she needed one big enough to fill your whole palm of your hand.

so, with her literal handheld computer, incredibly heavy of course, (a whole 5 grams WHOAA!) she looked up in the database for a planet someplace that had spinach on it. " I'm sorry sir" she said, " there are only two, and they are an inconvenient seven years away" not 7 light years. like you travel for 7 years at the normal speed. everyone knows you can go faster than the speed of light nowadays.

anyway, the attendant told him the bad news that it would take him 7 years going 20 times the speed of light to get there. "oh well" he thought, "I guess I'll just go another day when faster than that speed space travel is invented." because speedy space travel was heavily in the research market currently, the biggest companies were upping the speed every day.

so, seven days later, he came back. "what's the speed of travel now?" he asked the flight attendant out of nowhere. as this was a different attendant than last time, he had to scramble and look through the records for what this guy was talking about, but once he found the right data he said, "oh! it is now... three years away! little better doncha think?"... "I'll come back next week," spin said.

so the next week, after waiting and waiting and sneezing and dreaming of spinach, spin came back and asked again. yet another attendant was working, but they had this conversation on tab already, so she immediately said "it'll take two weeks" and he thought "mmmmmmmmm..... that's reasonable... it's reasonable, I think I'll take it." if you're wondering about the sudden jump from 3 years to 2 weeks, that's because everyone had heard that some money spending rich guy's son wanted to use a ship just once for some stupid spinach thing. "oh we can get so rich! we can take all his money!!!" that was their thought process. honestly, i think it'll work, cuz this kid's an idiot. anyways...um...where were we going with this?

okay, so it would only take two weeks to get there. "fine" he said, "I'll take the nearest rocket shuttle" and so he did. he took the rocket shuttle of the highest of technology, because they had been shooting things out like nothing else at the rocketship department after hearing about an idiot who was willing to pay anything. and they were like "ANYTHING? so we can buy like a 3 billion acre place, with robots that we can live in, and a bazillion servants? ILL TAKE IT!" and they did. they took his whole estate and he had literally nothing except for two servants and a dog. yep. a dog made out of hotdogs because he couldn't make it out of spinach and besides he thought the spinach would have rot in outer space... oh and about 3 billion dollars. and these were sentient hot dogs, by the way, not VERY sentient but enough to slobber all over everything. you know? that kind of sentience.
