Author's Note:
Hey, guys. To tell you the truth, I haven't really looked up about Halley's Comet. So, in this story, it's been probably about 54 years since the last sighting of Halley's Comet. This time, the comet has gained velocity and grew in a size to which the Comet could make impact.
Anyways, enjoy chapter two!
Friday Night
Henry and Charlotte were at home.
Jasper came in.
"Hey, guys. I'm glad to see you again." Jasper said, in a excited tone as he greeted his friends.
Henry and Charlotte looked at each other.
"Well, yeah, Man. We meet up here every single day." Henry said as they were sitting down on the couch.
As they were on the couch, Henry's whiz watch began to beep. 3 times.
"Uh oh." Charlotte said.
"Ray needs us." Jasper said, in a loud tone.
They then sushed him.
"Let's go!" Henry said.
Then, they got up off of the couch and were heading out the door.
In the Man Cave...
Ray was pacing around back and forth, constantly.
Schwoz was over at the crime computer, looking at the status of Halley's Comet.
Then, just as that was happening, the elevator crashed and in came the 3 friends, staggering like drunks who had too much booze.
They watched as Ray and Schwoz were panicking.
"Ray, what's the problem?" Henry asked, in a worried tone.
"Why did you triple beep Henry?" Jasper asked, in a suspicious tone.
Ray turned around to look at Henry, Charlotte, and Jasper.
"We're all going to die!" Schwoz said, in a panicking tone as he ran around.
Ray slapped him across the face.
"Shut up, Schwoz." Ray said, in a serious tone.
Schwoz then calmed down.
"So, why did you triple beep Henry?" Charlotte asked, repeating the question that Jasper had asked.
"Come here." Ray said, motioning them over to where he was, near the crime computers.
Henry, Charlotte, and Jasper walked over to where Ray was.
Once they got over there, they stood in front of Ray.
"Take a look at that." Ray said as he pointed at one of the crime computers that had the motion image of Halley's Comet.
Henry, Charlotte, and Jasper turned their heads towards to where Ray was pointing at the screen.
When they saw it, all of them had shocked expressions on their faces.
"Whoa! That thing is huge! What is that thing, Captain?" Jasper said, in a surprised tone.
Ray groaned when Jasper said "Captain".
"That...is Halley's comet." Ray said, explaining.
"Traveling thousands and thousands of miles an hour." Schwoz said, explaining as the image of Halley's comet was still moving.
"I have a question." Jasper said, in an obligating tone.
"What is it, Jasper?" Henry asked, in a wondering tone.
"Why is the comet so big?" Jasper asked.
Everyone in the Man Cave looked at Jasper and sighed.
"It's so cold in space, Jasper, that the comet's surface is totally made of nothing but, ice. And, besides the point, there's debris out there in space and moving stars, suchlike a comet or a rock suchlike a meteor, can pick it up and carry it on their surfaces." Charlotte said, explaining why a comet like Halley is so big.
"Oh. I get it." Jasper said, finally realizing.
Henry tapped Ray on his shoulder.
"So, how long is the comet away from Earth?" Henry asked, in a concerned tone.
Schwoz then brought the time up on the screen.
"27 hours." Schwoz said.
"So, what do we do, Captain?" Jasper asked, in a funny but, sympathetic tone.
Ray groaned again.
"It's best if we don't get involved yet." Ray said, in a calming voice.
"If we get any more information on the comet, we'll be glad to let you know." Schwoz said, in an calming and informative voice.
Meanwhile,out in space...
Halley's Comet was still moving and rotating, at thousand miles an hour.
Before long, it would be heading towards Earth.
(Wow. So, Jasper doesn't know what a comet is. Charlotte explained to him in a scientific explanation. Ray and Schwoz were panicking. What will happen next? Well, you'll find out in the next chapter so, stay tuned! Continue to review! Thanks😊
