I apologize if things seem boring, but there is no other way.

FINAL ADVENTURE

Once again…

Four people standing in their spaceship and watching the cosmos fly by. All of them softly moving side to side in their stances, and nobody were saying a word.

The silence was then broken as the orange-faced officer asked to the tall golden-skinned man beside him, “Oh Captain?”

“YES…” the Captain suddenly said with a surprise.

The officer continued with his question, “Would mind if I ask you again why it is we keep traveling around, with not a clue, nor and idea of where we are going?” he said sounding a little dramatic.

“Why it’s always a pleasure to tell you, my friend” replied the Captain. “We do it because we’re looking for the most exciting thing to end all things.”

The officer held his head low, “You don’t mean-- please don’t say--”

“Yes! A SURPRISE!!” answered the Captain and he suddenly threw a load of confetti into the air and yelled he began to laugh and hop around all excited, and the man and woman in the back began to dance along with him as more confetti, and balloons began to fall from the ceiling.

The officer shook his head in disbelief. “Somehow, I had a feeling he was a going to say that.”

Then, all of a sudden, BOOM!! Their ship had crashed and shook all four crewmembers all over the place. Finally when the shaking had ceased, the Captain and his officer gazed out the window at the bushes they were standing next to, and the grounds that stretched on ahead.

“We seem to have landed again.” said the officer.

“Yes, isn’t that a lovely, Surprise!” cried the Captain as he threw more confetti into the air. “Let’s go out and see what other Surprises… there are out there for us to see.”

“Ah, yes, we shall.” answered his officer as he, the Captain and their two crewmates departed the ship, and headed outside.

…

They passed many strange things as they walked around…

GRass, GRain-feilds, GReasewood-shrubs, and many other strange things, until they came up to a place that had many different GRapefruits, and GRamaphones.

“Oh, Captain…” said the officer. The Captain jumped in surprise and ducked down behind a shrub, mush to the officer’s confusion. “Oh, sorry about that. Uh, what is it?”

The two men continued to look around. “We’ve seen some pretty strange planets in our time…” said the officer. “But this one beats them all. Where do you suppose we are?”

Suddenly the Captain when he heard the sounds of a big bear Growling, as he approached the t rushing toward them. “We’ll soon find out.” he said. “Maybe this bear can help us. Excuse me, Mr. Bear…?” he called.

The old bear stopped growling as he came to a halt, and spoke to the Captain in a calmer, friendlier voice. “Uh… that’s Grizzly; Mr. Grizzly if you don’t mind, and I came here to welcome you all to the Planet-“GR”

“The Planet “GR?” the two men asked in confusion.

The grizzly nodded. “Yes, that’s right; and it’s called the Planet-“GR” because everything here starts with the sound “GR.” I am Mr. GReat GRandpa GRizzly.” Then he let out a huge growl, “and that what you just heard was my Gracious-GRowl.”

The Captain looked around. “I see…” he said. “That must be why you have all these GRapefruits, and GRamaphones.”

Mr. Grizzly nodded. “Ho-ho, right again-- because GRapefruits, and GRamaphones. also begins the sound… “GR”.

The officer really love grapefruits. He took one bit out of one and said. “Mmm… this GRapefruit must have taken a GReat deal to GRow.”

“You bet it did.” answered Mr. Grizzly, “But those the Planet-“GR” also deals with it’s fabulous GRape-Drinks.”

He handed all four of the crewmates some cups with their finest juice “Oh, what a lovely surprise.” the Captain said as he and his crew took a few swigs, “Ahh, and GRasiously refreshing too.”

Mr. Grizzly thanked him for the compliment, and then he had another idea. “Say, as long as you folks are here, why don’t you try and do what we always to welcomes guest to the Planet-“GR”

“What’s that?”

“The GRand-GRoove”

“And just what is this Grand-Groove?” asked the officer.

“It’s a dance.” answered Mr. Grizzly. “And here to join us are some of the planet’s most Grand dancers.” HE clapped his paws and motioned for everyone to come in.

“Here comes, GRegory Griffin.”

The Griffin nodded his head, and said “GReatly.”

“Here comes, Gracie Grandma.”

The elderly old-lady tipped her glasses. “GRacefully.” She said.

“And finally, here comes none other than, GRant the GRain-GRidner.”

To everyone’s surprise, a large machine, that seemed to have a life of it’s own approached them and said, “GRind me up, baby.”

“Okay, lets Groove!” cried Mr. Grizzly, and with that, the music started and everyone began to move to the groove. One the best dances the ever had been apart of.

…And so, everyone on Planet-“GR” danced the Grand-Groove, until it was time for the GRand-finale, and time to head off to search for other surprising planets.

…

Join us again one of these years for another exciting adventure with…

“SPACESHIP SURPRSIE!!”
