inhabited with talking animals and it is here where they meet a
certain Lion King!

For those of
you who don't know Fireball XL5 is a 1960s kids show created by
Gerry Anderson.
The story revolves around a space ship called
Fireball XL5 and its crew. The ship is
piloted/captained by the heroic Colonel Steve Zodiac. Steve's
co-pilot is non-other
than Robert the robot who will when things get tough literally let
off steam. The final two
human members of the crew are: the beautiful Doctor Venus and the
eccentric Professor Matthew Mattic. The final
member of the crew is Zooney Venus's pet Lazoon. A Lazoon is a
telapathic creature that can receive thought waves. Venus is also
trying to teach Zooney how to speak English.
Now on with the story:
Fireball XL5 was travelling through uncharted space towards a space stationthat had been set up there to monitor activity on uncharted planets and XL5 had been chosen to deliver supplies to the scientists on board the station."OK Robert you take control of Fireball I'm going into the lounge" Said Steve getting up from his pilot's seat.
Steve made
his way into Fireball's lounge where he found Venus and Zooney. Venus was
trying to teach Zooney some new words.
"Now
come on Zooney wake up and pay attention" said Venus sternly.
"Welcome
Home" said Zooney lazily. "
Zooney you learnt that word months ago" said Venus now starting
to get cross!
"How's
the lesson going Doctor Venus" teased Steve as he came up behin her giving
her a small fright.
"Oh
Steve its you" said Venus "Would you care for some coffee"?
she asked.
"Don't
mind if I do" said Steve as he sat down on the sofa next to
Venus as the Doctor poured
him a cup of
coffee out of the huge pot that was on the table in front of them.
So while
Steve and Venus drank their coffee and began to chat
Zooney found
the handbag that belonged to Venus and had started rummaging through
it
and within it
he found a box of his favourite candy: Martian delight and started to
eat it.
"How
long will it be Steve before we reach the space station"?
"About
five days or so Venus" replied Steve.
"Hey by
the way where's professor Mattic" asked Steve?
"Oh he's
in his laboratory working" replied Venus.
"On
another invention"
"Yes I'm afraid so Steve".
"I
wonder what it is this time" wondered Steve.
"Well
according to the dialogue I have heard coming from his laboratory
it sounds
like a machine that can translate Animal noises into common English
or any other
language"! "You're
joking" said Steve scoffing at the thought of such a machine.
Suddenly the
ship's Red Alarm echoed around the lounge.
It was so
loud that it made Zooney choke on his Martian Delight
and Steve and
Venus spill their cups of coffee!
Then Matts
voice cut in through the ship's intercom.
He yelled "WE
HAVE AN EMERGENCY ON OUR HANDS".
Steve picked
up the lounges intercom radio and spoke back to Mattic."Calm
down professor now what's the matter"?
"We are
heading straight for a belt of meteorites and we can't get around it WHAT ARE WE
GONNA DOOOOO"! "Calm down Matt"! said Steve.
"You,
Venus and Zooney betta strap yourself down on your safety couches
while I take
control of the ship"!
"Ok
Steve you're the boss" Matt replied feeling very nervous.
"Take
care Steve" said Venus as she and Zooney walked into her lab.
Steve took
control of the Ship as the belt of Meteorites got closer and closer.
"Everyone
strapped in on their Safety couches"? asked Steve through the
ships intercom.
"Me and
Zooney are Steve" said Venus.
"Me too"
said Matt sounding like he was about to be sick at any seconed.
"Ok then
here we go" said Steve. "Keep on course Robert" Said
Steve to his robot companion.
"Keep on
course" repeated Robert as Fireball entered the Meteorite
belt...
A/N
Ok, Ok I know that didn't have much to do with TL but I just wanted to make it clear for non-Fireball XL5 fans on what the show and characters were like and don't worry Simba and the gang will defintely be included next chapter I promise. Also I apologise if my paragraphs and punctuation made it quite hard to read (Ma computers playing around a bit)! Please read and review but please remember that this ismy first fic so please be nice.
