Phase 5 of the adventure of lily and Thea

Splendid Space Mission-Building the Space Station

Space - My favorite place

On a fine summer morning at the Brown's family house, "Lily breakfast is ready" called out mom. "comingggg!" said Lily as she climbed down the stairs to the dining room, "Lily can you help me lay the table" asked dad. "Sure," said Lily as she filled the glass jar with water. "Hey, when did you get this outer space -Design tablecloth dad?" asked surprised Lily. "Since our old table cloth had become torn, I bought this yesterday as Uncle Ted, Aunt Sally and Thea are coming for lunch", answered Dad. Mom bought a bowl of cereal for Lily. "I love outer space," said Lily. Little did she know that she will visit space after a few weeks.

Interesting E-mail

After a while 'Knock Knock" someone knocked at the door. "Lily please answer the door, it must be Thea," told mom. Lily opened the door and, "Hi Thea, Hi Uncle Ted, Hi Aunt Sally" exclaimed Lily. "Hi Lily" replied Thea, Aunt Sally, and Uncle. "Lunch is served," Mom said as she placed the serving bowl on the table. After lunch, Thea and Lily began playing Scrabble. Just then Aunt Sally's Laptop beeped. she went to check and There was an E-mail for her, and she read it out aloud.

Dear Sally

Long time no see, how are you and your family? I have an urgent situation right here in Moscow. You know! that my dream is to open my own space center. I had been trying to build my own Space research center and send my own spacecraft to the moon. We had started building the spacecraft 6 months ago. We had completed it last week. We had a test flight and it failed terribly that my Spacecraft got quite damaged. The International space agency had already announced that only if I get the Spacecraft repaired and sent to Moon by the end of this month, I will be able to qualify for the space agency test that would officially qualify me to build my space research center. I've heard about your magical unicorn 'Unifly' which flies with magic spells So it may be helpful to launch my Spacecraft successfully. It would be of great help If you could come here to Moscow with your family and Unifly.

Your best friend ever

Pinky.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      After reading the E-mail, Lily asked "Who is Pinky, Aunt Sally?". "She was my college friend when I was studying at MIT, Lily" answered Sally. "We need to help your friend, "said Dad "Maybe, we can go to Moscow, day after tomorrow as Lily and Thea's summer holidays begin tomorrow" suggested mom. "Sure, I will inform Grandma Minty and Grandpa Bob about the expedition," said Sally. "Wonderful idea! Sally" commented Ted.

 Later that day Sally called Minty and Bob to update them on their new mission. "Hello dad, I want to inform you about our upcoming latest mission, can you put your mobile on speaker so that mom could also hear me?" asked Sally. Bob was her dad and Minty was her mother who was Lily and Thea's grandparents. "Sure," said Bob and switched on the speaker. "What's the interesting mission about " Asked Minty. "My college friend Pinky, who is in Moscow, had just sent me an email asking for help with her mission for sending spacecraft to Moon in order to qualify for opening her own space research center". After Sally's Complete Narration, "Sure we would love to help out in the mission. I will bring the necessary things for the day -after -tomorrow" told Minty and concluded the call.

On with the mission

On the day of their new mission, the team boarded Unifly. Thea and Lily chanted the magic spell "Speed up as fast as the lightning so that we can reach when there is enough lighting" which would make Unifly travel at a lightning speed so that they could reach Moscow from New York in just 15 mins. When they were flying over the Atlantic ocean near the North pole, Unifly got a bit rocky which made them sway from side to side. Dad chanted a spell to stop the Unicorn and they landed in the Nuuk capital of Greenland. They soon realized that Unifly had become very cold and was shivering. "Maybe, we could use the hairdryer I took for the expedition to warm Unifly up" suggested Mom. Mom started moving the hairdryer side to side to warm up Unifly. When Unifly was all warmed up. "Let's get going it's already late if we want to reach Moscow at least by the evening," said Grandpa Bob. They resumed their journey and reached Moscow by late afternoon. "As Unifly 's spell had timed out let's rent motorbikes to reach Pinky's launching yard" suggested Dad.

Moscow, here we come!

As soon as they reached the space Centre on their motorbikes towing Unifly behind on a towering cart. Pinky came to greet them. "Hi, thanks for coming to help" exclaimed Pinky. Sally introduced others to Pinky. Pinky took them to the Centre's meeting room. "I 've prepared Raspberry cakes for you all, when you finish eating, I will introduce all of you to the rest of the team," said Pinky.

The Big Plan

After the snack Pinky led them to the bigger meeting room. "Meet the team," told Pinky. She introduced the six scientists besides her. "Meet my assistant Mike" she exclaimed. "The other scientists are Daisy, Stephen, Flora, James, Leo" she continued. After the introduction session, Pinky led them to a big yard. "Behold! Constella our first Spacecraft," exclaimed Mike. "Wow, how fascinating to see a Spacecraft so close," said excited Thea and Lily. "How big is the damage," asked, Dad. "The walls need repair; the furniture inside should be replaced and mainly the engines are damaged that's why I asked you to bring Unifly. She may help in some way "explained Pinky. "Maybe Unifly can help to launch the Spacecraft. Dad could create magic spells to help it launch Constella and carry it along with it as well" suggested Lily.

 "Great, so let's team up, excited Pinky narrated the whole plan

"Brown, pls create a list of magic spells"."Samson and Rachel you being the Builders can work with Bob to help to fix the walls". "Lily and Saira- Can go and buy furniture","Sally, Minty and Architects Bella and Graham redesign for Space craft's mass reduction" "Uncle Ted and Thea pls help remove the old furniture with the help of Mini and Joseph the Carpenters".. "Okay, so first let's start with the control room. 

We need a couple of computers, desks, revolving chairs, notice board, notebooks, and pens" said Uncle Ted." Lily and Saira can you pls help to buy them"

Let's get started!

Mom and lily said a quick goodbye and left in the carriage van to buy the furniture."First stop the electronic shop," said mom. They bought the computers. After that, they went to the furniture shop and bought desks and revolving chairs and they proceeded to stationery shops to buy pending necessary things and loaded them in their carriage van. Meanwhile, Sally, Grandma, Bella, and Graham drew plans for the room. Grandpa, Rachael, and Samson fixed the walls, Dad created a list of magic spells, and Ted, Thea, Joseph, and Mini removed the damaged furniture.

An hour later Mom and Lily arrived with the Computers, furniture, and other necessary things. "We bought everything on the list," said Lily.

Marvelous Magic

Brown mentioned "I created magic spells for everything like 

Travel at the speed of 25,000 miles per hour so that we can reach space which is even high than the tallest tower" to escape earth's gravitational pull."Attach to the Spacecraft Constella so that you can carry it to the lunar" to carry Constella to the moon."Fly at a high pace. Even faster than in an Olympic race". To speed Unifly even up."Slowly land in the Lunar ground stay there till we have found". To land in the moon ground,"."Superb Brown, But in space how can Unifly hear the magic spells," asked Pinky. "We can hear in space using space suit which has attached microphones, maybe if we create a headset attached microphone then Unifly can hear us" suggest Thea. "Yes, the technical team can help with building the lunar headset told Mike. 

"Great, So the magic spells are taken care of, now we need to set the control room," said grandma Minty.

Sally helped the technical team create the Lunar headset. Thea and Lily helped Dad and Grandpa to unload the things. Grandpa helped to unpack them. After they have finished these activities, Saira called out "We can start arranging now. First we should carry the attachable benches" instructed the dad. As soon as Dad and Grandma finished attaching the tables. "Are you ready for the computers?" asked Grandpa. "Ready" answered Brown. After they finished setting the computers, they hung the notice board. Thea and Lily hung the charts on the noticeboard. Then they finally arranged the notebooks and pens on the table. "The control room is ready" called out Dad. "Great job" reflected Pinky.

Nail dilemma

"Let's have lunch" suggested Mike. They started eating Kasha Russian Delicacy. After lunch "Ok Team Let's start building storeroom for the equipment's" told Pinky. "As usual Saira and Lily to buy cupboards, lockers, and draws; Sally, Minty, Bella and Graham to create the Plans; Bob, Rachal, and Samson to repair the walls and Dad, Joseph, Mini, Ted to remove the rusted and broken furniture." Explained Mike. "Thea can come with us to buy furniture," said Saira. "Sure," said Ted. Everyone got to their tasks. Mom, Lily, and Thea went to buy furniture from the furniture shop. While Dad, Joseph, Mini, and Samson started removing the damaged furniture, Bob Rachal and Samson started to hammer up the walls up. Just then "Oh, no, we have run out of nails and there are many places to hammer, "said Bob. "Then Let's call Saira to buy nails also" suggested Samson. Therefore, Bob called Saira to inform them to buy the nails.

Bob: Hello Saira Can you hear me?

Saira: Hearing loud and clear,

Bob: We have run out of nails. Can you buy a few from the shops?.

Saira: Of course,

Just then it started raining heavily. Hurriedly they got the nails

Saira: It started raining heavily and there is a big pool of water on the road.

Bob: Let me ask for help 

Bob informed the others about the situation. "We could test Unifly's spells by flying there and towing Saira," said Dad. "I will come with you," said Ted. "Wait Unifly can't fly when there is thunder as she can't hear the spell amidst a loud bang," said Sally. "We can use the lunar headset for that" told Pinky. So, they put on the space headset and put one on Unifly. They chanted the magic spell and Unifly took off, soon they found Saira. Lily and Thea's carriage van and chanted to attach to the carriage van to Unifly and carry the heavy load and flew back to the space research center. The storm continued till late evening, and they ate their dinner and slept.

Package Problem

 The Next morning, they woke up bright and early. Pinky held a meeting to plan the project.

"Hi everyone, we need to plan today's project, we're gonna finish the storeroom, kitchen, and dining room," said Pinky. "Hence we can do all the buying, planning, and repairing together for the 3 rooms and can finish putting them together by the end of the day." She continued. "Agreed," said Sally. Everyone got to work Saira, Thea, and Lily went to the furniture shop to buy kitchen counter tables and shelve and to the culinary shop to buy plates, spoons, spatula, oven, gas stove, frying pan, and dishwasher to the grocery shop to buy the necessary veggies and fruit and grains and dairy products. Dad, Joseph, and Mini removed the broken parts. Bob, Samson, and Rachal repaired the walls, and Sally, Minty, Bella, and Graham created the plans. Just Before lunchtime, all were done with their jobs. They finally set the furniture and went to have lunch.

       After lunch "we're going to build the gymnasium and bedrooms" said Pinky. Thea, Lily, and Saira went to buy a few gyms equipment and beds for the bedroom and Gym. "Oh, It's no use," said Saira. "What happened Mom!" asked Lily. "There Is too much load in the carriage van." Explained Saira. "What are we going to do?" asked Thea. "Let me call Brown to bring Unifly or else we have to leave some here and fetch them after we delivered the first set" answered mom. At the research center, there was a power cut due to which network was down, hence Brown didn't receive the call Saira made. "He's not answering, I guess we have to tell the store to safeguard the 2nd set while we deliver the 1st one." Said, mom. So they asked the manager of the store to keep a watch on the second set while they delivered the 1st one.

       Saira, Thea, Lily, and Thea took the first set in the trailer and headed to the research center to deliver it. When they got to the store to pick the 2nd set "Where have they gone? Manager I left them right here" asked Saira. "I had another work and asked my assistant to keep an eye on it." said the Manager. "If you want to discuss with him, he is in the cabin next door," said the manager. They rushed to the cabin next door, where they met with the assistant and inquired about the second set of equipment. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking about. I went to the washroom when I was b, back they were not there so thought y.you h, have taken it" said the assistant. "Sir, can you please tell us when you went to the washroom and when you returned, as we could investigate and find out where the equipment has gone as we have not taken them," said Saira. "M, ma'am I went by 2:30 pm," said the assistant.

        They said thank you and went to inquire the receptionist about theft. "I don't think the assistant went to the washroom as the water supply was not there from the morning. He was talking to someone on the mobile, I could hear that he was trying to plot a plan about taking something" said the receptionist. After that, they went to talk to the assistant again and collect info about to whom and what he was talking about. "I'm sorry, I have work to do," he said and so hurried away abruptly and from his pocket, a letter dropped by.

 The letter was written by the assistant to the Sell Anything and get Money store which would buy anything and give back the same amount of money as the object that is being sold. The Receptionist added mentioning that the Assistant was in a financial crisis and had a huge debt to be paid. Now Saira, Lily, and Thea understood the plot ."Oh, my goodness, he has written to the director of "The Get Wealthy Buy-Selling" company and that's why he had conspired to steal the gym equipment " said mom. They immediately informed the Manager and Police and got the Assistant arrested and got back the gym equipment. After a long day, they headed to the research Centre with the gym equipment.

A special Offer

 "What took you so long guys?" asked Uncle Ted. They narrated the whole incident. Just then "Hello! Are you the ones who bought the beds and gym equipment, " asked a stranger with an ID card from the store they went to. "Uh, yeah but what do you want" asked mom. "The Manager wanted this to be delivered to you," he said "Thanks," said Saira and received the letter. It read:
