I do not own Spaceman Spiff, Bill Watterson does I can claim credit for the alien species and partial for this version of Hobbes .
Some trivia before we begin (most of this I created and well be the species and places of this world)
The year is 2730
In the Milky Way.
Klawdon- Imagine a race of Hobbeses, gifted pilots and gunners because of their quick reaction time. They also tend to be extremely rich. They also run the best spacer academies in the galaxy, very expensive for non Klawdon and even harder to get a scholarship, only the best get in only 6 humans all in their 50s.
Liaclese- An eccentric human like race. Only difference is their brightly colored hair and pointed extremely sensitive ears. They recently settled the galaxy in 2693 and so they are a minority in the Milky Way.
Dimidiæsion-Half human half Liaclese, Spiff is one of these. Usually live in the middle districts of Liaclese colonies or the slums of human cities.
There are 3 levels of the space academy; beginner 10 years for everything, grants pilots and weapons license as well as bounty hunter membership capabilities .Intermediate issues galactic defense license. Elite issues spaceman license
Galactic defense is a interdimesional space militia for guarding this galaxy take 15 years of study.
Spacemen can do any space job they want and don't need any other license 20 years of study required.
AND NOW FOR…. SPACEMAN SPIFF(created by Bill Watterson)
Prologue- 2720, O113X Space station orbiting 5th Earth (first Liaclese-Human equal cohabitation) constabulary offices.
A young boy age six or seven obviously bored out of his mind sat listening to his third lecture by the station chief that week, and it was only Monday. "Spiff this time you've gone too far. I'm still not sure how you managed to blow up the main septic tank but it will cost 1000 dollars and three weeks to repair. What do you have to say for yourself?" Spiff leaned back in his chair smirking, as he ran a hand thru his spiky blond hair, he looked totally human apart from the bright shade of his hair and slightly pointed ears. "Oops." The chief sighed "Look Spiff I know you want into the space academy on Earth but you were average on the exam and didn't qualify." "The instructors were biased!" "You're 4 years too young." "Age is merely a number!" "But in your anger you actually proved that you are more capable then most of the older candidates." "A mere….. Wait what?" "I'm sending you to the academy for two reasons, 1: you proved more capable outside of tests than anyone else, 2: to keep you out of further trouble." But Spiff wasn't listening he was dancing on the table and screaming with joy. The chief face palmed. Spiff ran home and instantly told his parents and started packing. Little did he know that the next 10 years would hell with spots of heaven.
Two days later Spiff arrived at the docking station with all his important posetions (mostly books on the galaxy and portable game systems.) The chief approached Spiff, and squatted to his level, "Look Spiff I had other reasons for sending you, you're the only half going, also these kids don't have what it takes but I think you do. Make the rest of us proud." With that he smiled at Spiff and walked away. Spiff boarded the ship and grabbed a window seat up front as everyone else filed on, there were 24 of them total. They all started laughing when they saw Spiff and one of them called out, "What's a widdle baby doing on an academy ship". The insults continued most of the trip. When it was over 6 hours later Spiff sprinted out of the ship nearly in tears. He ran to information got his key scanned a teleport to his room and threw his suitcase onto one of the two beds and sank to the ground head in hands. Then a voice came from behind him "If your sad about being teased, I got made fun of the whole way here for not being able to afford my peoples academy, I only ask you to look before you throw." A bright green Klawdon stood above spiff clutching his head. He pulled Spiff to his feet, "My names Hobbes". The two became inseparable and each other's best and only friend.
