One stormy morning Stacey heard a loud noise outside, She looked out her window to see fire, she ran down stairs woke her mum and dad up and took them outside "Oh my goodness what is this" gasped her mother as the walked towards the fire, Stacey was scared as she was only 8 years old, she had never seen anything this huge before in her life, as they got closer Stacey saw someone she walked towards them, "Hello" yelled Stacey "Good evening" yelled the other, Stacey wasn't sure if she should talk to them as she didn't have her mum and dad with her, "Who are you? Where did you come from.?" "My name is Zeph I came from the moon." "The moon? But there is no life on the moon you're an Alain." Scream Stacey as loud as she could, Her mum and dad came running to see this person standing with Stacey. "Is this your rocket" asked Dad "yes indeed it is." "That's one mighty fine rocket you've got there we will help you fix it so you can be on your way again." Thank you sir that is so kind of you." Even though it was 11pm at night they still helped through out the whole night, "Finally all finished" said Stacey "Thank you I must be on my way goodbye ill come around soon." "Bye" they all yelled.
