Gogogrow and the Spaceship
Jacob Joseph Gallant
Once upon a time, there lived a little alien, called Gogogrow, who was fast asleep, in his house on planet Vafas. He was green all over, had one eye, ten arms and hands, and two mouths — one for drinks, one for food. Whilst he was asleep a person pulled up on his drive and fired his life ray at Gogogrow’s teddy bear, Jake, which was in the garden. Gogogrow woke with a startle as he heard a rumbling sound from his spaceship taking off. Gogogrow quickly rushed out to his garden and saw that his spaceship had gone, he looked around and could not see anyone there. The person had vanished.
Gogogrow quickly went to his shed and started looking for parts to build a new spaceship. The shed was a black rectangle with one window and one door. He was throwing parts everywhere whilst looking for items of certain shapes: rectangles, circles, and hexagons. He then held up each part to a picture, on the magnetic wall, to see if it was right. Gogogrow then started building, by putting them on top of each other and using his magic hands to make them stay together and turned them into a spaceship. Gogogrow then added the secret part, fire, to the spaceship to make him go faster. The roof of the shed opened and Gogogrow used his grappling hook to pick up the spaceship and lift it into the garden.
Gogogrow climbed into his new spaceship and sat down. He pressed a green circle button and a white circle switch. The spaceship then started to shake and rumble. A countdown started – 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – and then blasted off. Gogogrow started to chase after the other spaceship. He pressed the button for the secret part to make him go faster.
He catches up to the other spaceship and he puts the one he is in onto auto-pilot. Gogogrow then opened the hatch and uses his magic powers to connect the old spaceship to his new spaceship. He then zooms back to planet Vafas.
Once he has landed on his planet he climbs out of the new spaceship and into the old one and picks up his grey teddy bear from the chair and gives it a cuddle. He then goes back to his house to bed with his teddy. Then Gogogrow and Jake go back to sleep.
