Mars
It was another beautiful day in Amity Park, too bad Danny, Sam, and Tucker did not stay in Amity Park to celebrate it. They decided to take the Specter Speeder and travel in outer space for the weekend.
While Sam and Tucker flew in the Speeder, Danny followed behind them, stopping at every asteroid along the way. Of course, being so impatient, Sam just wanted to move along and not stop at every obstacle in their path. She was beginning to lose it with Danny's outrageously slow pace.
"Danny, hurry up, will you?" Sam shouted through the megaphone on the roof of the Speeder, "I want to reach Pluto before we have to go back home. At this rate, we won't even make it to Venus."
Since Danny's voice had a slight echo, he did not need a megaphone. "Are you kidding? Look at these asteroids! They're, like, big rocks."
"UGH! Seriously, you need to speed up!"
"Geesh, whatever."
Tucker, who was mentally toning out the lovebirds' conversation, was in charge of making out their location. Unfortunately, since the GPS was acting "wonky", they were heading in the opposite direction from their destination, Venus. Instead, they were heading toward the asteroid belt.
After rapidly traveling for another hour (the Specter Speeder traveled faster than a normal space shuttle), the trio started seeing more asteroids up ahead than they had before. By then, Tucker realized where they were, and they realized that the GPS was messed up.
"Oh. My. God."
There is was, the Red Planet. Who would notice it first? Danny.
"Oh my gosh!" shouted Danny to the great vacuous abyss, "Th-This is Mars! It's so…..BIG!"
"Oh for the love of Pete." Sam just had to put in her two cents.
"Hey guys, watch this," Danny zoomed through Mars' sheer atmosphere and landed on its rocky surface. Sam and Tucker followed in the Specter Speeder. "Guys, I'm the first human to set foot on Mars! One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!" Danny shouted the world-renowned speech, "This is so freaking awesome!"
Tucker finally spoke up, "Okay, Danny, could we please leave before we annoy any uneasy green Martians?"
"Whatever," Danny said, then he realized something, "Ah dang it!"
"What?" Sam and Tucker shouted at the same time.
"We forgot to bring an American flag!"
Okay, I know this is really random, but I really had the urge to write something. Lately, I've been writing based on my latest science topics. Maybe it'll be fungus next :).
Also, make sure you read my angst oneshot "The Note". I've had a couple of requests for writing a sequal, and I want at least five requests to see if you all really want one. Convince me!
Thank you Trinity Fenton-Phantom and Donteatacowman for reviewing. I look forward to reading more wonderful, outstanding reviews!
