Imagination and excitement!

I  am so nervous never seeing my family again. That's normally a child's worst nightmare. Not so much for me I am so excited, but I do have little jitters. Although I will be quite sad. I did not know what to take at first I put all my prized possessions in and most of my clothes. We were three months through the flight I was thinking hard what Mars will really look and feel like. Every day I thought hard about my parents, I was sure they would be missing me. It helped when I did my fitness I just thought hard about getting all my muscles working and keeping fit. When it came to food time I was always ready and enthusiastic to try new foods, that's if there was any. Don't get me started sleeping is the worst part especially when it is bumpy you just shake and sometimes you bang your head. Honestly some days I do not get any sleep. Then I just sleep all day. It's much harder to know when you go to bed because it's basically dark all day.

A few more months went by then we started our descents into mars. As always I would just stop and stare and think about life on Mars. Just then it appeared outside the spacecraft. OMG I can not wait. I went and asked how long it would be until we were there they said about 2 and half days. That was not that long I thought to myself but then it hit I just bursted into tears. Never going to see my family. I was a brave wreck, I wiped my tears away and went and sat down. My mind flickered with amazing ideas like I am going to see the Mars rover, there might even be life that we discover. Maybe I will meet a new friend. All there's ideas made me fall asleep without even being strapped so I would not float around. I woke up with a jump and looked out my window there was little rocks flying everywhere I was so scared. What is happening to me, I am going to die. I made my way to where the other crew were well where Tracey and Maia were anyway. They said we were heading through a bumpy patch. Well I knew that was not quite true there were  rocks flying from every direction.

 I went and sat down strapped myself up tight with the seatbelt and whimpered I was so scared. But I did understand it was all what the plan had said. They can not do anything if the spacecraft crashes we are to far away to do anything. Kyra walked over to me and asked what was happening I shrugged and said I did not know. After at least 6 hours of rocks flying everywhere it calmed and we were able to sleep. The spacecraft was set on cruise and us four all headed to bed. Maia did not sleep she just sat gazing out one of the windows. Slowly I drifted over to her we sat there huddled together and we just slowly drifted off to sleep. We must of been sleeping for at least 15 hours. We moved quite a lot but we still did not wake up. I opened my eyes to see Tracey and Kyra were already up but Maia was still asleep. 

I walked into the kitchen area and there they were. They told me something I can not even tell you until it happens you will see. We all hid, Maia walked out we jumped and yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAIA. She screamed for delight we also have another birthday surprise close your eyes and come over here, we walked her over to the window she opened her eyes and screamed. We are on mars over and over. We got our special space suits on and headed to the exit. Since it was Maias birthday she went first, I went second, Kyra third and Tracey fourth. We all screamed inside our space suits and took silly photos. Then Kyra spotted the Mars rover, we went over to it was not that big though. But it was big enough I gathered some rocks and dirt. Slowly and happily we walked back to the spacecraft plugged the camera thing in and it send them backs to NASAs base back on earth I put the rocks and dirt in a container and went and got changed.

Mr Browns December Precept. Precept from the book Wonder!

Yay! I cant wait to see Mum, Pippi and Oscar and guess what, we were going on the hobbit plane. But then I am sad because I am leaving London. Excitedly Dad and I boarded the plane first passenger on. My seat was so comfy. It took forever to take off because there was so many planes that wanted to take off and land it must of took at least 20 minutes. Broom! Broom! we speed off down the runway and into the air, take off must be my worst part. Then my ears popped! Once we were at our altitude we were going to fly at. The safety video came on and interrupted my movie, I was watching. Dad offered to put my seat back into a bed but I said no because I won’t be able to sleep and I found it uncomfy. I went to sleep in a flash, soon enough I was awake.

I woke suddenly to find that the plane was shaking it was so scary I tried not to cry it was so hard not to it was like the plane was going to crash. I was shaking all over, I kept tapping dads leg till he woke up. The pilot said that the stewarts and hostesses have to take their seats. That was a good choice because they would off just kept falling over. Every little bump we must have been falling 3 metres and then regained. Dad was scared deep down but he did not show it. This happened for 20 nonstop scary minutes. Lucky enough we were flying over Greenland, at least we were on land. In the middle it stopped for about 2 minutes then I tried to get back to sleep but then there was a massive bump and I jumped. Then it continued it was like it was going to crash and at last the pilots said that the flight crew could get up and walk around.

When it was all over I was so glad and so happy the plane did not crash. Kindly a hostess came over to me and asked if I was alright but she also said that was the worst turbulence she had had in three years her whole flight crew experience, thats how bad it was. That made me feel even more scared. That I have witnessed very very bad turbulence. My dad told the hostess that he is not going to be able to get on the next plane from LA to Auckland. Basically I did not sleep a wink the rest of the flight, I might of dozed off for a little while and then woke up with a jump. Overall I was happy that I choose to keep my seat up. Across the aisle from me was the prime minister of Samoa throughout the whole turbulence he did not move a muscle.

What good came out of the flight, that the plane did not crash. Also I had to trust the pilots and lucky enough it paid off. I am proud that I got through it without crying but I was whimpering, quite loudly.
