chapter 6

Booster was at his computer desk at star command when the vid com screen came up. "Booster," he heard.

"Betsy," Booster said. "What is it big sis?" he asked.

"We need your help with the harvest majorly," Betsy said.

"What is wrong with the harvest?" Booster asked.

Betsy moved the vid phone and showed him. "It's the biggest bumper crop since pa was a born according to pawpaw, and our farm hands can't help because they got the Jode pox, and we can't take care of this by ourselves, if we don't get all of these, fruits, veggies and bunzels in and make them into things and sell them and sell the the produce the whole harvest will be ruined." she said.

"I will be there I must tell Commander Nebula." Booster said getting up and leaving. The team saw him get up in a hurry and they followed him to Commander Nebula's office.

"Commander Nebula sir I need to head back home for a while because my family has the biggest bumper crop since my pawpaw was a young man and the farm hands have the Jode pox and can't work so they need my help and the family business will be ruined if I don't help." Booster said. "I fear even with my help the harvest will go to waste because there isn't enough help to pick and sell everything on time, with my family," he said.

"What about all those family members I met when I first came to Jo-ad when I met you Booster can they help?" Buzz asked.

"No, they were only there for the Munchapper family reunion they live all over Jo-ad and they are busy harvesting their own crops and I don't know what my parents, pawpaw, sister, brother and I going to do if our harvest get's ruined," Booster said.

"I have an idea how about we help you and your family with the harvest?" Warpnia suggested.

"That is a great idea Warpnia," Ty said.

"You guys would do that for me?" Booster asked.

"Yes, you are our friend, and we will be happy to help you and folks," Buzz said.

"Thanks guys," Booster said.

"Well since all of you had been working really hard I see no problem in giving you all some off time to help Booster and his family." Nebula said.

"Okay let's head to Jo-ad," Buzz said.

They made it to Jo-ad. "Here we are Jo-ad." Booster said.

Booster's family came up. "My friends came to help us with the harvest," Booster told them.

"That's great we can use all the help we can get." Ma said.

"Now let's get ready," Pa said. "Now Buzz and Warpnia how about you two get started on those fruit trees with Betsy, Ty and Rocket how about you help Benjy with the veggies, Mira and Emily get started on the berries with Ma and pawpaw," Pa said.

"What about me?" XR asked.

"You can help Booster and I with the Bunzels," Pa said.

"Great," XR said.

They got to work. They were busy picking the crops. Warpnia noticed something on one of the apples. "Hey there are bite marks on this," she said.

"As on this orange it has some peel removed and eaten a bit inside," Buzz said showing her.

"I thinking something is eating the crops." Warpnia said.

Emily saw some of the berries were not on the stem and there were not many on there. "That's strange I thought there was more," Ma said.

"I think we have something here eating our crops," Pawpaw said.

"I will look for this creature and find out why after all there has to be reason," Emily said. "I will talk to it and see if I can convince it to go back to the wild," she said.

"Well since you are from Animalia you are the best choice for this," Mira said.

Ty, Rocket, and Benjy found the some veggies eaten. XR, Booster and Pa saw the same with the Bunzels. Emily was looking around and saw a group of Hopashocks a Jo-ad creature know for hopping and generating electricity. They look like they hadn't eaten in a long time. "Guys I found them." she said.

They came running. "Well I'll be Hopashocks," Booster said.

"Yes and I can tell they hadn't eaten anything in a while," Emily said.

"Well I heard a report that there has been a low growth of wild fruits, berries and veggies," Pa said.

"That's why they came here they were starving," Ty said.

"I have an idea, maybe the hopashocks can stay if they can help you out," Emily said.

"We do have a Jo-ad crow problem they are not scared of our scarecrow." Ma said.

"I will talk to them and see if they can help with that," Emily said. "Can all of help keep the crows away from the crops?" she asked. The hopashocks nodded.

The crows came in and the hopashocks shocked them and the crows flew away. They found other ways to help too. "Emily you were right about having the hopashocks help." Pa said. "Now we are getting everything done much faster and our crops are safe from the crows and the hopashocks have place to stay and we can feed them some of our produce as payment for the help." he said.

"Now both the farm and hopashocks will benefit from this," Emily said.

"That's great," Pa said.

Now everything was going fine after a couple of days the whole Harvest was ready to sell on the market. "Thank you all for the help and helping us form the partnership with the hopashocks we really appreciate this, you all our honorary members of our family," Pa said.

"I agree," Ma said.

"As do I," Pawpaw said.

They headed back to star command now that everything was finished. "Guys I just want to say you are the best friends a guy could ever ask for," Booster said.

"Thanks Booster, we are happy to help because that is what friends are for," Buzz said.
