Chapter Five

By Gunter Middle School, Gunter, Texas, USA

"We have to find the Rose Cup!" exclaimed Captain Pinash.

So they were off. They got into the spaceship and left for Scarletina. Once they arrived at Scarletina they went straight to Dirtball's office and discovered he was not there, he was on Planet Earth.

"Let's go!" ordered Captain Pinash. So they left to go back to the launch pad where they had left their spaceship. When they got there it was gone. All that was left was a note from Scumball. It read, "You'll never get the Rose Cup in time, because you don't have your spaceship anymore."

"Let's go to the computer control room to find out who took the spaceship out, what time, and where they went," said Captain Pinash.

So they went off to find out what time their spaceship took off and who took it. They found out that Scumball took it only thirty minutes ago.

"He couldn't have gotten far," cried Plink. "Let's walk around the planet!"

They walked around the whole planet. When they finally found the spaceship in Scumball's garage it was too late to take off for Planet Earth because it was getting dark.

The next day they went to the computer room to find out that Dirtball was in Panama. They took their spaceship, where they had slept that night, to Panama. They got there just in time to stop Dirtball from throwing the Rose Cup into the Panama Canal.

"Stop!" cried Daisy.

The Pinkerellians tackled Dirtball and Daisy grabbed the Rose Cup. They quickly got into the spaceship and got to Pinkerello with five minutes to spare.

When they got to the competition they entered Daisy. She quickly beat all of the inventions from outer space because they weren't as smart. But then it came down to two humans. It was a very close competition because the judges didn't realize that they were humans and because the other boy was very smart. But in the end, the Judges liked Daisy best because she had a better personality and the Pinkerelllians won the competition.

"We will grant you one wish for letting us use you in the competition," said Captain Pinash.

"I wish I could live with you on your planet and not have to go home!" cried Daisy.

"Your wish is our command," said Captain Pinash. "You may live with us."
