Zoom Flies to the Moon!
Up, up, up! Zoom the Sweet is in her special rocket. Whizz! Pop! Go the buttons. Zoom giggles. The rocket wiggles and wobbles a little. Stars twinkle outside the window. Big, shiny stars! Zoom wears a big, white suit. It has a see-through helmet. She sees Earth get smaller. It looks like a blue marble. Wow! The rocket goes faster now. Zoom feels like she's floating. Her toy bunny, Funny Fizz, floats too. Funny Fizz has soft, pink ears. He has a happy, stitched smile. Zoom reaches out to catch him. Boop! She touches his foot. He bobs away! Zoom laughs a little, a happy sound. The rocket makes a soft hum. Hummm-mmm. It's a sleepy sound. Zoom looks at the moon. It's getting bigger and bigger! It looks like a giant cookie now. A yummy, big cookie in the sky. She can see bumpy spots. Dark spots and bright spots. Her rocket goes zoom-zoom. Vroom! Vroom! Almost there. Zoom bounces in her seat. She is very excited. Her little feet tap-tap. Tap-tap-tap. Funny Fizz floats by again. Zoom gives him a little hug. "We're almost there, Funny Fizz!" she whispers. Her voice sounds soft inside her helmet. The moon looks very close now. So, so close. She can nearly touch it with her hand. Big rocket, getting ready. Lights flash inside. Beep-beep! Lights turn green. Time to land! The rocket shakes a tiny bit. Then a big shake! Thump! The rocket has landed! Zoom smiles a huge smile. She made it! She is on the moon!
Wobbly Steps and Tiny Friends
Zoom opens the rocket door. Hiss! Whoosh! The moon air *whooshes* out. Zoom steps out! Her big white boots touch the moon ground. Bouncy! Her feet feel very light. She takes a big step. Boing! She bounces up high. Wow! Higher than a house! She giggles. Funny Fizz is still in her arms. He bounces with her too. The moon ground is crumbly. It's gray and dusty. Zoom sees big rocks. Some rocks are small. Some rocks are very, very big. She looks around. Everything is gray. And quiet. So quiet. Then, she sees something wiggle. Wiggle, wiggle! Tiny wiggles! Pink wiggles. Then blue wiggles. Are those little creatures? Zoom gets closer. She takes little bouncy steps. Hop! Hop! Down by a big gray rock. There they are! Tiny creatures. They are so little. Like tiny, sparkly gems. One is pink and round. It has big, happy eyes. Another is blue and bouncy. It has little wobbly legs. They make a soft sound. Peep! Peep! They look scared. They huddle together. Sweet Boop is their name! Sweet Boop. Zoom smiles at them. "Hello!" she says. Her voice is soft. The Sweet Boops look up. Their big eyes blink. Blink, blink. They are soft and round. They have little antennae that wiggle. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. They are lost! Zoom can tell. They look sad. One little pink Sweet Boop points. It points to the sky. It makes a sad, lost sound. Peep-peep! Zoom understands. They want to go home. But where is home? Zoom looks around. No houses. No trees. Just lots of gray moon dust. She thinks hard. How can she help these tiny, lost friends? Funny Fizz wiggles in her arms. He looks at the Sweet Boops too. He makes a soft 'mrrrrow' sound. Zoom knows. They need a helper. She is here to help! Her heart feels warm. She will find their home.
