Chereads / SPACE ADVENTURE! / Chapter 4 - Don't Panic!

Chapter 4 - Don't Panic!

​As the players took their places, the biggest speed skating contest in space was about to begin.

BOOM !

The starting pistol went and as quick as light, the players skated on the icy ring of Saturn.

But suddenly "Crack!", the ice broke into so many pieces, and they began to swirl around the planet at breakneck speed! The players clung on to a piece of ice for dear lives!

Unluckily, one of the players was the lonely little alien who came all the way from Mars to participate in the race! Even worse, his piece of ice fell and fell. When his piece of ice moved forward so quickly, the little alien only managed to cling on to the edge of the ice! He dangled from the edge as if he was an ornament hanging from a chirstmas tree.

Then there was something flying in his direction. It was a GIGANTIC FROZEN WALNUT!

SLURP !

His piece of ice was sucked into the WALNUT! He thought this was the end of his life! He plunged to the ground. A minute later he woke up and noticed he was on land! He thought he was dreaming but actually he landed on the GIGANTIC FROZEN WALNUT called Pan, a tiny little moon of Saturn that orbits in the ring.

Luckily, the lonely little alien was good at inventing now because he had experienced building a rocket before. He decided to build a new rocket on Pan so he could fly back.

He walked and walked all around Pan in search of materials to build a rocket, but he found nothing. He sighed and thought to himself "This place is not at all like Mars where we can find plenty of materials…"

Exhausted after searching the whole moon, he decided to rest at a mountain nearby when suddenly he noticed a red light flashing in the night sky. It was coming from behind the mountain. That was when he went to investigate.

Surprisingly, it was one of the small rockets the aliens used to transport themselves to Saturn! But the front of the rocket was squashed into bad shape and the head light kept flashing.

"Fixing rockets is a piece of cake!" he said to himself. But fixing the squashed rocket turned out to be a piece of pie as it took him 7 days and nights to finish. The little alien was full of hope now and was daring to save his friends' lives as well. He was determined to find all the aliens.

​"To the rescue!" he shouted, and with his rocket he visited every piece of ice to search for his friends. He found all of them except his best friend who in the past had saved him from loneliness by inviting him to the parties held on Venus.

The rescued aliens sought shelter on Pan. Some of them stayed on Pan to build a spaceship large enough to hold all the aliens and fuels so they could fly back to Venus.

Meanwhile, the lonely little alien and some others kept searching for the little alien's best friend. They searched every single piece of ice and Saturn's other moons in the ring, but there was no sign of his friend. Finally, they gave up hope…

Now that the big spaceship was complete, and Pan was so cold that they could stay no longer, they must take off to go back.

The next day, they decided to take off. They flew through the ring. They passed by moon after moon of Saturn. They passed by Rhea the third furthest moon from the planet, and as they approached Titan somebody on the spaceship shouted "Turn back the spaceship! Turn back!"
