" Hey, Mia?"
" Hmmm?"
" Do you think I could take the van out and go off a ramp and fly to outer space?"
Mia turned to her friend. " I suppose."
Emma cheered. " Thanks!"
Then she ran off, leaving Mia to shake her head fondly.
" She's joking.... right?" Mia muttered.

" She wasn't joking! She wasn't joking!" Mia yelped as she ran.
" Emma stop!" Annie yelled.
Emma was too busy with her sketches to even hear them. " Hmm.... I wonder which color I should use...."
Then, it happened.
Emma looks up and saw the ramp. " Oh. That was fast."
Mia watched in horror as the van shot off the ramp.
Then.... It vanished.
Annie blinked. " Did.... That just happen?!"
" I should think so." A sassy voice said.
Mia sighed. " Cut it out."
" Why?" The owner of the sassy voice hopped on Mia's shoulder.
" Because now isn't the time, Blackie!"
The black cat meowed. " It's always time to be sassy, owner."
Mia rolled her eyes. " Okay, your Highness."
Then she squinted up. " Annie, get emma on the phone."
" Already on it."
The phone rang.
Once.... Twice.... Three times.... Then....
" Hey, guys. What's up?" Emma's nonchalant voice came through.
Mia grabbed the phone. " Emma, what are you doing?!"
" Sketching the earth and moon. It's actually really amazing!"
" Emma, you're gonna run out of air!"
" Oh yeah."
Mia and Annie sighed, thinking she'll come back.
" Okay, okay.... I'll add rocket boosters!"
Mia's eyes widened. " WHAT?!"
they could hear the clink of tools and hammers.
" What is she doing?!" Annie hissed.
Mia shrugged.
" Time to find out if the moon is really made of cheese!"
Mia almost choked. " What?!" She said weakly.
" Yeah! I really want a bite of it!"
Annie's eyes widened. " Emma, no!"
