Pretend Astronauts
“Lift off will occur in 2 minutes.” Saraphina announces in a low, nasally voice. “Astronauts, please make your way to the space craft.”
Megan and Saraphina trudge their little space women into the
space craft.
“Houston, we’re ready to launch," Megan confirms as she and Saraphina close all the doors on the ship.
Then the countdown begins.

Then the countdown begins.
“10…9…8…7…6…5…4…thrusters on…3…2…1…lift off!!!” both girls yell in unison. Megan lifts the ship up as though it is flying,
with Saraphina helping to guide it.
It flies through the sky, Megan and Saraphina helping it through the air.

“We are approaching Mars, mission control,” calls out
Saraphina in that same low and nasally tone.
Megan lands the space craft and she and Saraphina begin
taking out their crew.
Saraphina has a manned rover for exploring the martian surface. It is taking soil samples and getting readings on the topography of the land.
Megan is flying her astronaut around on a small jet-ski.
She is looking for the best place to set up base.

“Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could really go to Mars?”
Saraphina asks. Megan puts her astronaut toy down and begins walking
away. “I think I have something for
that.”
Saraphina wonders what the heck Megan can have. Her eyes go wide when Megan comes back with a
space helmet on and another one hanging on her arm.
“Captain Saraphina,” Megan says, handing the helmet to Saraphina. “Chief Science Officer Megan, reporting for duty!”

Saraphina grabs the helmet from
Megan and begins putting it on her head.
“This is so awesome!” she exclaims as she slides the helmet on.
As the helmet falls into place, she points at Megan. “Chief Science Officer Megan, what’s the report on the exploration of this amazing planet?”

“Well, Captain,” Megan replies.
“We have just begun exploring and have already found evidence of water and some
interesting elements.”
“Great job!” says Saraphina as
she burst into laughter.
She then puts her arms out to her side and begins running around.
Megan follows suit. They chase each other around in their helmets, making spaceship and rocket noises. Calling to each other as though they were talking over an old intercom system.

“Someday I hope I get to go into
space for real.” Saraphina proclaims.
“Me too!” agrees Megan.
