Sky Rocket Ride  

Milly Finchwhizzle was all alone in the world since her parents went on a wild safari and never returned . She lived in the house her father had originally built .as a getaway from it all holiday home . It sat on top of a mountain and stood at the end of a very private road where a gate opened up to a path flanked on both sides by lots of multicoloured flowers that were forever in bloom . Her Mother used to spent every day in the garden and she had planted flowers and shrubs that were in bloom during every season .

 Now and then she would see a rainbow in the sky that shimmered with a golden glow.

The last project her father had done was building a very unique tricycle .

Some times Milly would get in an ride around the mountain road .

The tricycle was charged every night so she could use si8t anytime she felt like an escape . It was always there by the front door .

The road from her gate to the mountain path her father had built with paver stones and painted then stones all the colours of the rainbow ,It was a very enchanting road and sometimes when she got into the tricycle she had wonderful journeys in many places far beyond in what she called rainbow land .

Another day had come and it was time for Milly to get up and do something special .  

After breakfast she went out to the garden to walk among the spring flowers in the garden . In the silence she could hear the birds singing and new life was everywhere . Butterflies and dragonflies danced and fluttered by and there by the door her tricycle sat inviting her to go for a ride .

She went over and jumped in her tricycle . As soon as she sat in the seat a rainbow appeared in the sky . It suddenly started to shimmer before falling  to the ground . Milly was captivated and immediately started make her way to the over to where the rainbow was  . As soon as she reached that spot her tricycle turned into a rocket ship and lifted off the ground and into the sky above . Then she was transported into  outer space . She looked out the window of the rocket ship at the cosmos , where comets blazed across and stars shone brightly . Her little rocket ship continued its journey past meteors and floating debris that drifted past . Suddenly her little rocker was drawn as if by a magnet down to the surface of a red planet where it transformed into a  buggy cart that made its way across the planet surface . It stopped now and as it did four legs came out from underneath the buggy and extended enabling the buggy to elevate for a better view of the planets terrain .

As the buggy continued to make its way over the surface of the planet there were some funny looking rocks with smoke coming out from vapour holes .

The purple smoke hovered in the air for a while and then it changed reddish in colour before it turned into a floating rock and eventually falling down to the ground .

These reddish rocks were scattered in circular patterns all over the surface ,

A compartment from the side of the buggy sent out a grabbing tool and picked up some of the rocks and placed them on a Shute  that was extended from the side of the buggy and the rocks then were taken as samples inside a tray on the buggy .

The pebbles came falling down the shute and she put some of them in her pocket

Then from above another space craft appeared .   .

Hovering above the planet it looked like a huge tricycle with lights whirling and flashing . The tricycle ship started to make a whirring sound followed by a transmission of bleeping sounds which resulted in a series of whirling and swirling lights cascading down to the ground in a vortex of spiralling lights that descended upon the little buggy lifting it up off the planets surface and then back inside the mother ship.

Below on the planet’s surface small holes opened up from underneath the surface of the planet strange looking  blue creatures appeared with large kaleidoscope eyes and feathered wings on their with arms that extended and started waving . The creatures took flight and grabbed each other making an arc that turned into a rainbow in the space that levelled out like a runway as far as the eye could see .

The tricycle shaped mother ship landed upon the rainbow runway and blasted off at tremendous speed through space  and then it landed at the top of a rainbow above the house where Milly , and it started to shrink in size until it was back to its normal shape as a tricycle with Milly making her way along the rainbow road to her front gate .

The spring flowers in the garden seemed to be dancing the wind as Milly made her way along the path to the front door of her house . She returned to the Attic and looked out the window as the rainbow disappeared . Putting her hands in her pockets she was happy to find some of little reddish pebbles were still there .

They had a soft glow and vibrated as she held them in her hands . When she put them down on the table the pebbles spoke to her .

“You are going to make a difference in this world , Soon you will be travelling to places and making  changes , Be at peace now “

Suddenly Milly felt tired and lay down oi the bed and  fell fast asleep .
