The last flight!
If you returned to home after a long absence, what would you do? This was the obvious question inside of every worker's head, and it didn't leave very easily. It was everywhere, every conversation entailed it, and if it didn't, well, the workers wished it did. Eventually, just like a couple of days before, the spacecraft was inside of the encompassing darkness. The workers maintained nothing but hope, and yet the darkness couldn't stop but intimidate even the bravest crew members. After a few hours of wandering, the ship found the light they had seen before. They knew what it was, Mendorf. The home planet, their love. The spacecraft hovered over, still at an astounding speed. As it neared orbit, it slowed down. Eventually it was in the atmosphere, and the bottom of the spacecraft spewed air out of the bottom to slow down its decent. Eventually, it landed softly on the hard rock, and the diamond rolled off the top. Out piled the workers and towards them; in the most brilliant light ran their families. Their long missed and awaited families.

Preparations
Inside the little spacecraft late at night, excitement could visibly be seen buzzing around the crew's members. Tonight was to be the bight for them, just three days ago they had made it out so far, but alas they had to come back due to a lack in fuel. Now, they were completely prepared to see all their families again! The exaltation in their hearts can not be described with words, every single accident that could occur was accounted for; extra fuel on-board, a mapped chart to their homeland, and all crew members on board. The crew anxiously awaited when the time would fade into the night, and finally it had reached it. A blubbering Marc Tetreault slipped into bed, and in a measly twenty minutes he was completely asleep. The ship hovered in the air and flew out of the window for the last time.

A day in the spaceship!
The captain and crew scratched their heads with curiosity for what their next move would be. The tired workers were suddenly struck with the dreadfulness of their situation. They had no fuel, the precious time was ticking away, and no solutions seem to be being produced. The captain knew he needed to get this fuel at whatever cost it was, so he took an extremely dangerous risk. He pressed the big, red button on his desk, and in one swift motion the diamond cracked open a little. Out walked the captain, and he began his stroll through the room he had never experienced. He knew what he was looking for; gold. As he stumbled across the surface of the bureau, he eventually found a necklace. A very, very large necklace with a six-sided star at the end. He knew this would work just fine, and called out the crew. For one hour, they worked at chiseling off a little gold, and eventually they finally achieved it. The crew went back into the ship to await the next night. When Marc got home, he looked to his bureau and had a sick feeling that his necklace had gotten smaller. He shrugged it off and suggested maybe he's just getting bigger.

Near Death for the Little Spacecraft!
As the little spacecraft descended further into space, Earth became smaller until it was a little dot in the never-ending blackness. The worker's searched the darkness for their their little planet, embarking on mission impossible as they had done. Searching for a planet, at the very end of all existence, was not going to be easy. Yet, if they could go from there to Earth, they must be able to go from Earth to Mendorf! The little workers tirelessly worked on, until the captain of the ship thought some desolate light had broken the veil of darkness! He was what appearded, to be Mendorf, but it was no more than a lonely star. Yet, the captain knew he had made progress so he asked how long he had been out. " Seven hours, sir", the crewman responded. The captain plotted an immediate return to Earth, for he knew his ship could only maintain flight for around 8 hours. He had one hour, to fly back to Earth, when it took him seven hours to fly out here. So the captain ordered the ship into overdrive, and then a giant, gaping wormhole appeared, nearly three times the ship! How large it appeared to them, so the ship flew into it. Before anyone knew it, they were back on the bureau, out of fuel and with many parts of the plane burned and unusable. There they were again, doomed to sit between the deodorant stick and broken remote. Somehow, the captain got a sick feeling inside of him that this fate was not going to be easy to escape.

The First Adventure
What is there to do with the ability to fly? So much, supposedly. You can go anywhere on the Earth, what an exciting prospect! Yet, the little workers of the alien space-shuttle had much more astounding goals than that. These little workers sat for days and days working until their fingers bled, and staying up until their yearns for sleep could no longer be supressed. They sat in the "diamond" and tirelessly worked at improving the spacecraft's technology so that they could one day make it back to their home world of Mendof. Mendof, wasn't like Earth, it came close only to the size of the Earth's only moon. And there lay all the worker's families, and everything they knew. The breakthrough came on August 22, 2011. So, immediately when Marc slipped into his sleep for the night, the spacecraft hovered off the desk. And before the sight could be seen, it was alread 100 miles up in the atmosphere.

The Secret Spaceship
The appearance of a diamond stud on the top, with a little metal rod sticking out of the bottom. Indeed, this is what the spaceship looked like. And day after day it sat in the same space on the bureau, between the broken remote and the deodorant stick too seldom used. Wedged in between the two so just the diamond stud was sticking into the air, the earing seemed to be a piece of forgotten property, something lost and rarely thought about by the now sixteen year old Marc Tetreault. Little did he know, of the secret adventures it took.
