Space, Stars and Rice

'Do you really think it will work Wells'
'Rrrraaaeeegh'
'Well if your sure it won't burn my bottom, I would hate my delicate balance of ginger to bread ratio to be altered my over baking'

KABOOM (to the sound track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-bGzJTRZfU)
went the rocket.
A huge ball of flames erupted from the underside of the large cylinder made of welded baked bean cans and chinese take away containers. The blast blew Wells straight across the garden and through the little ginger bread houses back door, singeing the end of his quite impressive goat beard (not unlike Sandy's). The rocket, shaped like a goat, was Wells' newest invention. He was going through a phase. It hurtled into the sky and catapulted Nube, who had agreed, for unknown reasons, to be a guinea pig and be tided, tightly, to the contraption.

To compensate for the unusually blustery day however, Wells had increased the volume of gun powder used in the initial take off.... Nube was shot straight into space, and everyone knows, in space no one can hear you scream. . . which was particularly lucky because Nube screamed like a baby reaching a pitch that could shatter stars. . . and so it did.

A nearby nebula was rearranged as one of its many stars exploded sending its inhabitants flying in all directions!

'Oi!! Watch where your catapulting!' Nube yelled in a outraged manner. All of space and he has to be hit by a flying jar of rice. BAM, and another one!
'Rice rice rice rice rice rice'
'I'm sorry I don't understand you'
'Rice rice rice...rice'
'Nope not a word, well I got rice but that was it. You know what forget talking, I'm going to have you as pets. I shall talk to you in a derogatory way all the time, and I shall only telling you loving thoughts and phrases, and see which one of you ends up tasting the nicest, how about that?'
'RICE!!!....RICE!!'
'Good that's settled then. Pull me in Wells, I have alien rice friends to introduce you to' Nube cried out to Wells, some 6 million km below him.
Wells had managed to send another rocket up to Nube attached to a long rope...a very long rope, in order to haul Nube back safety to Earth.

Oh what an adventure! I wonder what rice did taste better in the end?....
