okay,
Grandfather
!
Well
done,
Grandson!
When we got back to the
MouseStar 1, it
was very quiet.
Grandfather William
was the first to greet us. He
hugged
me
tightly when he saw
we had brought back
Hologramix.
Galactic gorgonzola,
I was
shocked
!
My grandfather
isn’t very
cuddly
,
and he’s
definitely
not
usually a hugger!
He must have been
!
mousetastically
happy that our mission
had succeeded.
As soon as Grandfather let me go, Sally
and I got to work.
“Sally, let’s plug in Hologramix
right
away
!” I said excitedly.
“Of course, Captain!” she said as she
got to work
immediately
. In just a few
minutes, the doors on the MouseStar 1 were
opening and closing with no problems, the
liftrix
was working efficiently, and the
lights were back on. The only thing missing
was the yellow snout of our
onboard
computer
!
Suddenly, there was a shout behind me.
“
Boo!
” a voice squeaked.
Martian mozzarella! Who was it?
I turned around and . . . there was
Hologramix
!
Aaaaaah!
Boo!
“Did you miss me, Captain?” it asked.
Before I could reply, a message appeared
on the main screen:
Incoming Call!
“Hologramix, take the call!” I insisted.
A second later,
Professor Twisterix
and
Fidox
appeared on the screen.
“Professor, how nice to see you again!” I
greeted him.
“
Superstellar
circuits!
” the
professor
said. “I see you’re all back
safe
and
sound
,
including Hologramix! Congratulations on
accomplishing your mission.”
“It’s all thanks to you and Fidox!” Sally
replied.
“I was
happy
to help!” Professor Twisterix
replied. “I see that your onboard computer
is working, thanks to the power transformer.
I’ll send you the
instructions
so you
can set up the MouseStar 1’s engines to run
on the same system. Then you can use
wind
and
starlight
energy to power your
spaceship, too!”
“Do you mean we won’t have to use
TETRASTELLIUM
to power our engines
anymore?”
“That’s right!” the professor confirmed.
“As soon as I set up the engines, we’ll be
able to
fly
using just the energy from the
wind and stars!” Sally chimed in.
“
Yay!
” Benjamin cheered. “MouseStar 1
will be the most environmentally friendly
spaceship in the Cheddar Galaxy!”
“I have another idea,” Professor Greenfur
added. “If you agree, Professor Twisterix,
Sally and I can fine-tune your invention to
make it available to every spaceship in the
universe
!”
“What a mouserific idea!” Twisterix
replied. “You have my permission to
proceed
!”
“Let’s celebrate,” Hologramix said as
a robot waiter approached me holding a
beverage. “This is for you, Captain. Cheers!”
I was about to take a sip when I realized
Thank
you,
Captain!
Hooray!
Hi,
Fidox!
Professor
Wow!
Mission
accomplished!
Stellar
circuits!
Woof!
it was
motor
oil
. Black holey galaxies! I
looked at Hologramix in alarm, but he just
winked.
“
Gotcha!
” he said, laughing.
Trap, Benjamin, Thea, Sally, Professor
Greenfur, and I all
joined in
. It felt great to
laugh after our
encounter
with the pirate
spacecats. I had a feeling we hadn’t seen
the last of those famousely
ferocious
felines! But that, dear rodent friends, is a
story
for another day!
