Roscoso's Treasure Planet

Bed-Time Story

Space, The final frontier, is being watched over as a voice rang out

On the clearest of nights, when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful,

A large cargo ship is seen sailing in the space. Its solar sails were up, and it looked absolutely beautiful.

The great merchant ships, with their cargos of Riches and Wealth, felt safe and secure. Little did they suspect that they were pursued by... pirates.

Another ship is seen. It's smaller than the cargo and atop its mast flew a three eyed jolly roger.

And the most feared of all these pirates was the notorious Captain Whiskers.

Said captain is seen on the crow's nest as he watches the cargo ship draw nearer.

"Fire!!" he yelled. Cannons began blasting the ship. Soon they floated next to each other for a deck to deck battle. A little 4 year old, Golden Blond girl with light blue eyes watched this happen with eagerness in her eyes.

Like a Houndoom, overtaking its prey,

"Alyssa Nicole Kyle!" A woman's voice rang. Alyssa quickly closed the holographic book she was watching and pretended to have done nothing.

"I thought I told you to go to bed an hour ago!" the woman said, now this is Shenzi Alyssa's Mom

"Aw, Mom, I was just getting to the best part!" Alyssa said, hugging the book, "Please?"

"Oh, can those eyes get any bluer?" Shenzi said, "Scootch over." She sat down next to Alyssa and opened the book to watch the ship to ship battle.

Like a Houndoom, overtaking its prey, Whiskers and his band of renegades swooped in out of nowhere.

The book showed the pirates swinging on board with ropes. Then there was the blast of a laser and a chest opened, spilling its shimmering contents on the floor. Whiskers took them in his hands and laughed greedily.

And then, gathering up their spoils... Vanished, without a trace.

The pirate ship was sailing away and disappeared in the book.

"OOO!" Alyssa and Shenzi whispered as they turned the page.

Whisker's secret trove was never found, but stories have persisted that it remains hidden. Somewhere at the fathest reaches of the galaxy stowed with riches beyond imagination. The loot of a thousand worlds... Treasure Planet.

"Treasure Planet!" Alyssa and the book said at the same time. Shenzi closed the book and put it on the shelf, and sat back on the bed with Alyssa.

"How do you think Captain Whiskers did it Mom?" Alyssa climbed up at the top of the bed post. "How he'd swoop in out of nowhere," she jumped off and out of her mom's reach and went under her bed covers. "And vanished without out a trace."

"I have no idea." Shenzi said. Then she pulled Alyssa out from under the covers and began tickling him to death.

"But I think it's time for this little spacer to go to bed." She said as she placed Alyssa under the covers. She heard a squeak and went under the pillow.

"Do you think somebody'll ever find Treasure Planet?" Alyssa asked. Shenzi came out with a little squeeky doll that looked like Shadow the Hedgehog.

"Alyssa, I think it's more... like a legend." Shenzi said, as she placed the toy on a nearby chest.

"I know it's real, like dragons and ghosts!" Alyssa said

"You win. It's real." Shenzi said as she kissed Alyssa's forehead.

"Nighty night Mom."

"Nighty night Alyssa." Shenzi said as she got off the bed and walked over to the door. "Sweet dreams."

"You too." Alyssa said. Shenziu closed the door and the room was then plunged into darkness. There was the sound of rustling, and then a light undrneath Alyssa's covers and the book can be heard.

There are nights when the winds of the Etherium, so inviting in their promise of flight and freedom, made one's spirit soar!
