Shennu's story: Space Journey


Mars has aliens!

It was the night before the rocket launch to the planet Mars. The mission has been planned for almost six years. I was one of the seven to go to Mars for twenty days.  It was a spectacular and rare opportunity of a life time.  I looked at my watch. The time was nine- thirty. Just twelve hours more and I will be in the vast openness of space. We have been trained for the last two years about this mission and what to do in case of an emergency; we have also been taught how to land in sea or land. Our mission is to try to find life in the empty planet Mars. I am happy my best friend Filip will be on the mission with me. I went to bed and soon I was fast asleep. 


The alarm rang at 6AM next morning. It was time to put on all my space gears. Most of it was very thick and carefully padded. I went to the meeting place, from there we took a shuttle to go to the towering colossal big rocket. We all went in and took our positions; I was the navigator with Filip. We were all ready for the countdown.    The countdown started 5, 4, 3, 2.1.0. The rocket went into the vast skies as quick as a black little bullet. We got out of Earth and soon we could see a faint red little planet in the distance. It was the red planet Mars. We got closer and close soon we could see it as clear as crystal. We were going to land! There was another countdown. Bang! We had reached MARS! Two of us got off the space ship and on to the land of Mars. We started exploring.  I told Filip to go and explore one side of Mars and I would go and explore the opposite side. I soon found out that Filip’s signal was not there anymore. I tried calling him on the walky talky but he didn’t pick up. I decided to take the space buggy and find Filip. I had been searching for two hours and had still got no idea where he could be, suddenly I found an underground tunnel. I took a space bike and explored the tunnel. To my surprise there were slime on the walls of the tunnel. After a while, I could see some light so I turned off the motor bike engine. I took a binocular to see what was there. I saw a slime building and was shocked to see Filip strapped up on the building. The place looked like a slime town. The colour of the slime was yellow and it smelled horrible. The town was a neat and clean place but it did not have much technology. There were no plants because of the stink. I got a glimpse of the creatures which had captured him. The creatures were fat and slow so instead of walking they rolled like a cannon ball and were very tough. They were yellow black and blue. The Aliens looked extremely furious   I knew I had to help Filip out from his situation; I had to get Filip out. I packed a knife to cut the rope. I could see a ramp made out of something like metal not too far away. So I furiously sped the bike over the ramp and towards the slime building. Silently I went near Filip.I used the knife to cut the rope. Filip pointed towards the aliens coming to grab us. I put Filip on the bike and came down the ramp. But the aliens caught us! I was scared as they had a mad look on their face. They were trying to say something but we only heard a sound. I took a little language decoder and said, “We come in peace.” I put the device near their mouth and they said,” Who are you and why have you come here? What do you want? Do u want to capture us?” We said, of course not. We do not mean any harm at all and we come from the planet Earth. Then they finally believed us. We requested them if we could take some samples of their slime and rock and they agreed. We also wanted to take a picture ofthem but they denied us. Then we told the leader it was time for us to go and we had a great time, thank you. 


When we got out of the tunnel, we saw the crew searching for us. They were worried because they were not being able to contact us. We told them that our mission is successful, we have found Aliens in planet Mars. Then we got into our space ship and blasted down to Earth. I had an adventure of a lifetime!
