The Empty Space Station

The Empty Space Station

Roxy tapped Terrell on the shoulder. “ I’ll be back soon, ” she whispered. “ I have to go to the space station. ” Terrell’s eyes went wide. “ Wow! Good luck! ” Roxy hurried away from the playground. She shot into the sky. “ Look! ” Mara pointed. “ Rocket Girl! ”

Soon Roxy was in space. Her watch beeped. “ Detective Smith, ” Roxy said. “ Is there a problem on Earth? Is it being invaded by aliens?” “ No, Rocket Girl, ” the detective said. “ I just wanted to say good luck. My brother, Commander Smith, is on the space station. I hope he’s okay. ”

“ I didn’t know you had a brother, ” Roxy said. Detective Smith nodded. “ We’re twins. ” Just then Roxy saw the space station. “ Whew! ” she said. “ Good news, Detective. The space station wasn’t destroyed. I’ll find out why the Space Agency lost contact with it. ”

Roxy closed her watch and entered the space station. It looked empty. “ Where is everyone?” Roxy thought. “ And where is all the equipment?” “ Hello?” she called out. “ Is anyone here?” An astronaut peeked out from a hatch.

Her name tag said Dr. Chen. “ Officer Wells! Come on out! ” Dr. Chen said. “ Rocket Girl is here! ” A second astronaut came into the room. “ We’re so glad you’re here, Rocket Girl! ” “ What happened?” Roxy asked. “ The Space Agency lost contact with you. ” Dr. Chen looked at Officer Wells and sighed.
