My friend Alex and I were late for the rocket that was going to blast into the solar system.
“We made it replied Alex who was taking short deep breath's”. They were so late that they didn’t have time to sit in the chair’s they took of with a leap of surprise that they just got settle in the chair’s. Around five hours later they arrived at Venus They got off the rocket and was amazed that Venus was so rocky and how hot it was. 10 hours later that the rocket was leaving and Alex and I was late once again. We were stuck on Venus!

We found some old rover bit’s and made a telephone thingy that you could contact people with. They contact the astronauts that was in the space ship they replied that it would take 11hours to come back. We got some of our food and ate a quarter of. an hour later they were bored to deaf they knew that they were still stuck for 10 hour’s. Around another hour later they went to explore deeper in Venus they found green aliens and red aliens battling one tried to attack us but we were so big and the aliens were so small we were able to kick the aliens back we watched the battles for hours and time flew by fast they only had 4 hours left till they get to go back to earth. We went for a long walk what felt really boring and tiring. 40 minutes past and they were probably die when they come Jasper recommended that we should chat about things that they should do when they get back to earth we thought of going to eat ice cream or have a slushy and they would open the fans to max and even the air conditioner they chatted so long that they finally noticed that the rocket came. The astronauts called
“Come on”

We were heading back into the solar system we past the sun and a giant octopus attached the space ship we tried to get out of its reach but it was no use we were stuck we knew we couldn’t stay so we kept trying it was just no use I had a plan I told them
“We release the gas so that the octopus can pull us close to his head and pull the gas to burn he octopus to crisps”. We got bored of waiting for hours and minutes till the octopus got slowly pulling us to his head finally he slowed down and he was going to eat us! We quickly pulled the gas and the octopus burned to crisps we left with a surprise that we made it out. We didn’t have much gas left we reached the earth’s atmosphere we had really low gas but we made it in the earth’s atmosphere we went crashing into the ocean a crane pulled us out of the water and there was people cheering.
