3 Spin, Spin, Spin

CHAPTER 3 SPIN, SPIN, SPIN Fine. So Mr Big Shot doesn't want me in the movie. I don't care.

It's not like I haven't got more important things to do. That giant unhatched egg, for instance—it's not going to hatch itself. I'd better go and sit on it right now! I don't mind. This is important work. Much more important than making some dumb movie.

Hang on. That's a weird noise. It sounds a bit like Jill and her intergalactic space-animal rescue service returning through the Earth's atmosphere. It is Jill and her intergalactic space-animal rescue service!

'Hi, Andy,' says Jill. 'I just got back from the moon. I had to rescue some mice whose rocket crashed while they were on a cheese-seeking mission. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I tell them the moon is not made of cheese, they just don't listen.' 'Yeah, well, I'm doing some pretty important work here, too,' I say. 'I'm helping this giant unhatched egg to hatch.'

'That's great!' says Jill. 'I can't wait to see what comes out.' 'Me neither,' I say. 'Where's Terry?' says Jill. 'He's with a film crew. They're making a Treehouse movie.' 'Wow!' says Jill. 'How come you're not there?' I sigh. 'The big shot Hollywood director Mr Big Shot said he didn't need a narrator.'

'Isn't it called a "voiceover" when it's in a movie?' 'Yeah, well, whatever it's called, Mr Big Shot didn't want it.' 'That's too bad,' says Jill. 'Still, a movie—that's pretty exciting!' 'I guess so,' I say, 'if you like electricorns, that is.' 'Electricorns?' says Jill. 'Yeah,' I say. 'Terry used the combining machine to combine an electric eel and a unicorn. They're filming a re-enactment.'
