The Space Camels by Judith

Chapter 5: Space Awaits

"Shumans!" Gadoogi cried excitedly after Rubert had left, "I would looooveee for yoouuu to cooomeee to spaceee with meeee!" Jerry and Judith looked at each other in shock. "Well... Um..." Judith stuttered, unsure of how to respond. "I really need to be back for dinner-", Judith started. "Of course we'll go to space with you Gadoogi! We'd love nothing more, right Judith?" She burbled loudly, cutting Judith off and looking hopefully at her companion m "Well, um... oh why not! LET'S GO!!!" She yelled excitedly.
Gadoogi graciously offered them a hoof each to take as they stepped into the large robust spaceship. It was very techy once inside with green and blue and red flashing lights. They stared around in awe as they saw all this advanced technology finery. "Ooooh!" They chorused, looking round. Judith then noticed something as Gadoogi sat himself in his special camel flying chair. "Um, Gadoogi?" she enquired, "Where do we sit?" For there was only one other chair and it looked like it could only really hold a Pipe Whale. Gadoogi glanced over at them and then the chair. He pushed a button and there was a hissing sound and a flash of light. The chair manifested into a cosy armchair - big enough for two - with a large seatbelt going across it. Looking at each other, Jerry grinned and Judith smirked and at the same time, they bolted for the chair and plonked themselves down. They squealed as they sank down into the comfiness of the chair. It was well worn and a dark blue. "Right shumans, LETS GO TO SPACE!" Gadoogi yelled excitedly, however, he had a weird look in his eye as he put the spaceship into gear.

They had been flying for a while and Gadoogi was shifting uncomfortably in his chair. Judith turned to him, "Gadoogi?" He hummed in response. "What's wrong?" He jumped guiltily, "What Shuman? Nuuuu nothiiing isss wrongggg! It'ssss jusstt..." He burbled but cut off when Judith gave him a look. He sighed, "Okkk shumans... I shaaallll tell youuu myyy storryyy..."

Gadoogi's story:
Once upon a time, there was an adorable little Space Camel called Gadoogi. He had a baby a little brother, a baby sister and an older sister aswell. His parents and grandparents loved him very much. He lived on Saturn happily, in peace. However, the planet was overthrown by an evil tyrant: Zimbod! For years, the Space Camels had been trying to overthrow him and get rid of him.
One day, they divised a plan. It was going to work! Somehow they got in the gates. Just as the whole of the town stormed the gate, they were surrounded! They were all captured, but Gadoogi was just at the back with his family and it he managed to escape! He stole a spaceship and somehow got away unharmed.
As he was flying away to wherever, an army of spaceships flew up behind him! Before he could react, he was shot multiple times! In his broken spaceship, he managed to hit the turbo boost, which shot him away from the other camels and he somehow crash-landed on Earth, in the very same alleyway that Jerry and Judith happened to be walking in!...

*Sniff* Gadoogi opened his eyes after he had finished his long, woeful tale and looked at the two girls through his long eyelashes. Jerry was crying, with a sad face, whilst Judith just sat there, unblinking, not moving, maybe not even breathing! "That's so sad, Gadoogi! How could you even cope, you poor thing? Oh mei gawd, we must help you!" Jerry burbled. Gadoogi sighed, looking down, "Yesss, it isss veryy saddd! I missed them terriiiiblyy!" He looked back at Judith, who still wasn't moving, with big sad eyes. Judith suddenly stood up (they were just hovering in space), her eyes blazing. "We have to get your family, friends and home world back Gadoogi, no matter what!" She declared confidently. Both Jerry and Gadoogi looked at her with hopeful eyes, "Judith?" Jerry began slowly. Judith looked at her and cocked and eyebrow, smirking. "Do you have a plan?..." Judith grinned and helped her friends up from their seats, "Yes, I do! And it might just work..."

30 mins later:
They had just gone over the plan once more, when Jerry spoke, "Hey, we don't have any space suits! We won't be able to breathe and join in - I mean help!" Judith smacked her head in annoyance, "I forgot that part!" She mumbled sheepishly. Gadoogi grinned and went into a secret compartment. "I usually store cooooookies in herrreeeee, (even though this isn't his ship but oh well!) and I also saaaww some spare spaaaceee suits that loooooked like they could fit teeeeeenage girls like yoooursellllvessss!" He announced joyfully. "Herrreeeee youuu gooo shumansss!" He said, ahnding them to the girls and pointing to a corner which held a small bathroom, so they could change. Taking the suits, Jerry and Judith shared a look and grinned. They raced towards the bathroom and within minutes, they - well Judith - had emerged, Jerry had put something on wrong and had tripped and was now stuck! Judith turned back to look at what Gadoogi was laughing at and immediately started cracking up. As Jerry struggled, Judith was writhing on the floor, wheezing and crying at the scene before her. Gadoogi started laughing harder too as their laughs were extremely contagious! Picking herself up and wiping her tears away (she's not wearing her space helmet yet, unlike Jerry!) and walked over to jerry who was squirming on the floor, trying to get up. Judith offered her a hand and, once accepted by a rather annoying and embarrassed Jerry, heaved her up. Jerry gasped as she shot up and the two girls collided and fell over again! They all cracked up again and picked themselves up, then turned to Gadoogi, who was still giggling with a fond look in his eye. "So how much longer till we arrive?" Jerry huffed, red in the face. Gadoogi grinned and turned around with a flourish of a hoof, "Were havvvee alreeaaddyyy arrriiivveddd, shuuumaannss!" He declared.

A/N
Again, so sorry for the lack of updates and weird timing, but I think I did better this time! I've already written about half of the other chapter, so hopefully it won't take that long! Anyways I hope you are enjoying the story, Gadoogi's sad backstory and the misadventures of Jerry, Judith, Rubert and Gadoogi! Byeeeee!
