Green is the color of the trees, Touch of a wet leaf, Bumpy like texture of a pickle Green is as beautiful as a emerald, And as colorful as an M&M Green is as sporty as a tennis ball, And goes as far as a softball, Flying from the bat in a homerun Green is as small as a pea, But, Can grow up to the size of many, Acres of grass Fluffy snored loudly. It had been awhile since he had actually slept, since it was hard to sleep on the street when rats nibble on your ears. But now fluffy was sleeping peacefully on top of Sargon, who had forgave Fluffy after he had dug his sharp claws into the poor dog. Which was good, because Before they were friends, Fluffy had never realized that Sargon made a good pillow. Fluffy purred gently on top of Sargon as Sargon’s stomach rose and fell. Finally, things seemed to be going perfectly. TOO perfectly. Fluffy ignored this fact, though, because he was currently in a deep sleep.
“Hey, Fluffy.” Sargon gently nudged Fluffy. “Fluffy! Come on, Fluff.” Sargon nudged Fluffy a little too hard. “AAAAAUGH!” Fluffy fell off of Sargon. “Oh,no! Sorry, Fluff.” Sargon grabbed Fluffy by the scruff of his neck. “I was just wondering if you wanted me to take you to your food bowl. I can smell the anchovies.” Fluffy’s ears perked up. “Yeah! Thanks,” Sargon placed Fluffy on his back and walked to the kitchen. Sargon layed down so Fluffy could get off. Fluffy leaped off of Sargon and walked to his bowl. He picked up and anchovy and let it slip down his throat. “MMMM,” He said. Sargon munched contently on his pork slab. Sargon grabbed his leash. “Hey, Fluffy! Can we go for a walk?” Fluffy was currently occupied pawing at his ball of blue yarn. “Uhh… yeah, sure,” Fluffy walked over and picked up the other end of the leash. “It wouldn’t hurt to get some fresh air.” Fluffy opened the door and stepped out with his pet dog. Sargon’s tail wagged in rhythm. He loved walks. It was a dog thing, Fluffy assumed. “Hey, Sargon. I don’t suppose you’d want to go to the feline diner, would ya?” Sargon’s short ears perked up strait. “WOULD I?!” He jumped around Fluffy. Fluffy smiled. All of Fluffy’s feline friends loved Sargon. They thought he was pretty cool, considering he was a friendly dog. “I’ll take a root beer with a side of sardines,” FLuffy said as he stared at the menu. Sargon barked. “Oh, and a side of gravy milk bones.” The waitress walked away. Sargon’s tail wagged contently. “This place is pretty cool,” Sargon stared at the stage where the Aristocats were performing. The diner was neat and just a place where domesticated and strays alike could chat and get to know each other. They were friendly, and Fluffy knew every one of them well. Then something unexpected happened. “HEY, HEY, HEY!” One of like 6 cats said. “Say waaaaaa…?” The robot cat went over to the corner of the room and said “Why does this button do?” it was the emergency explosion button. “Wonder why it says ‘Emergency explosion button?’” “I’ll press it anyway”. He then pressed the button. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?” said fluffy. “I don’t even know osug wvec” then he exploded. “NOT AGAIN!” A cat with an “O” hat said. “NOW I’LL HAVE TO FIX HIM AGAIN!” Then she blew up. “NOOOOO!” She managed to say. In the midst of this Fluffy just watched with his mouth hanging open. Then he blew up. Fluffy realized it was only a matter of time before he was a pile of catnip. He then got the rocket he had in his pocket and started to fly straight up. “NOOOOO” he was so high up he could see the whole world. He was going higher and higher until he landed on the moon. He felt his head start to explode “I n-need ox-oxygen”. He rasped. Suddenly he spotted a spaceship. He raced to it. “I…ne-,” He grabbed the door handle and pulled. It wouldn’t budge. Fluffy felt immense pressure on his head. He kept pulling. Then he read the door. “Push” he read aloud. He pushed and it swung open. Fluffy let air fill his lungs. It felt great. The pressure relieved on his head. “Phew,” He said. “Do you think he’s alive?” A voice rattled in Fluffy’s ears. “Who knows? He was out there for a long time.” Another voice said. “Indeed, Greg. It would be exceptionally hard for a feline to survive the vacuum of space.” Somebody proclaimed. Fluffy opened his eyes to find a bunch of cats staring at him. They had these suits and helmets on. “AAAAAAUGH! HE’S ALIVE!” They all started frantically running around. The big one grabbed a bat and started beating Fluffy. “OW! OW! STOP IT YOU JERK!” He grabbed whatever was close to him. “A Lightsaber?” He swung it at the clone cat. Fluffy put a suit on and ran for his life with his lightsaber. He ran out of that place. He was floating in space. “This isn’t so bad.” He said. Then he felt gravity pull him to earth. “OH NO!” He caught on fire and was falling at like 50,000 miles per hour. “AUGHHHHH! MOMMMYYYY!” He screamed. He looked down to see a giant half eaten sloppy joe. He landed on it. “HEEEY THERE!” Shrek waved to Fluffy. “Thought you could use a sloppy landing.” Fluffy gave Shrek the “HOW? WAAA? HOO? WHYYY?” Look. “Now that that’s settled, just sit inside this giant tortilla okay?” Fluffy did what he was told. Shrek started cooking Fluffy. “Is it hot in here?” THE END Until next time, anyway. By Layne Anderson Prologue I’m in this green stuff that sticks up and is pointy. Must be a type of fauna. Big brown hard things, too. My ship is not functional. My analysis visor is broken, so now I look stupid. Well, I guess I always have. This day can't get any worse. Well, it probably can. This planet I’m on has lifeforms, and I’ve heard they are a race called humans. Let me tell you how it started. The test I went to go meet my friend Larry. Larry walked up to me and mentioned, “I’m going to take my ‘insane planetary vehicle driving test.’” I told him I was proud of him for that. “Hopefully I don’t fail it 30 times like you failed your flying test.” I replied, “hey, flying a TZ4 Radiator is very hard to control,” I continued going. “They have TERRIBLE handling.” he told me he was going to buy a TZ4 Radiator and went to do the test. I’ll do that flying test again, I thought to myself. Flying the Ship I went to Sherry, the flying test instructor. She noticed me, “I see you’re here for your thirty-first test.” she approved. There was no one testing, so I went right in the ship. “Alright, you should remember the controls.” I hopped in and took off. I was smooth sailing. OK, activate the comms and then blast the asteroids, I told myself. Sherry said, “fly through the asteroid belt and get to the space station,” I replied, “roger that.” The Problem I hit an asteroid by accident. BANG! I was doing so well, too. Oh look, more asteroids. BANG! BANG! BOOM! My ears are ringing. I’m feeling dizzy. My comms system just went out. Everything is dark now. I wake up after what I think is a while. I looked at my computer. It said I was in another SYSTEM. This is bad. I must have accidentally pressed the hyperdrive. I see a fighter ship. This can’t be good! Attack The fighter ship opened fire! It must be a Chorogon. I forgot that they hate our race. My ship is going to explode if I don’t get out of here! I engaged the hyperdrive and took off. Of course, it shut down. I fell asleep because I was so tired. Strange system I woke up to the sound of my computer saying, “You have arrived at -kzzzt.” My computer is screwing up. I did a scan to try and find planets that are good to land on. I flew around for a little bit, trying to make sure nothing noticed me. Oh, remember how I said the computer was breaking? It did this to me. “Now a-a-a-rriving on-n plannnet kzzzzt.” so now I have no control over my ship and I’m heading to a random planet. Landing I landed on the kzt planet. I’ll just call it that for now, because that's what my computer called it. I crash-landed on the planet with a loud THUMP! I stepped out onto the ground. The star at the center of the system caused so much light on the planet! It hurt my eyes, but I adjusted quickly. Discovery So that's how I got here, on this strange planet. I have much to see and explore. I need to fix my ship with the materials on the planet. I will fix my communicator and try to get a hold of Larry, or someone. I won't try to contact a Chorogon, though. That would be bad for me and the inhabitants of this planet. This is just the beginning of many adventures. Also the time limit for this log. I’ll make a new one soon, though. You humans sure seem to find things. THE BEGINNING (for now) Interview by Terin Boshert
