Sarah Mitchell had a dream. Only Beth, Adam and Keith knew about this special dream. Today, she wanted to be the commander and pilot of her own space shuttle so they could fly to other planets not yet discovered.

Sarah supervised the building of their space machine in her backyard in Houston. Once their cardboard shuttle was completed, they suited up. Beth, Adam and Keith, along with Sarah, felt like real space astronauts, even though they realized they were just pretending.

Sarah and her crewmembers wanted to carry gifts to children on other planets. They knew that would be very exciting. Beth, Adam and Keith used wagons to gather gifts of flowers, toys books and many other nice things while Sarah was busy finding room for them inside the shuttle.

Sarah carefully planned the route as Beth, Adam and Keith finished up the last-minute details for there “make-believe” trip. It was “T” minus five minutes until BLAST-OFF when they decided everything in the cockpit was in order.

Sarah directed the loading of all the gifts onto the space shuttle. She also made sure plenty of peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches were packed for their space food. Then Beth, Adam and Keith climbed aboard knowing they were ready for anything.

Sarah announced, “All systems are go! Is everyone strapped in and ready for the countdown?”

“10… 9… 8… Will we break the sound barrier?

7… 6… 5… Will we be back before dinner?

4… 3… 2… 1… BLAST-OFF!”

“Wait a minute!” shouted Sarah. “Where are all those blinking lights coming from?” Sarah quickly looked out her window. “WOW!” She would not have believed it if she had not seen it with her own eyes. A real spaceship was landing beside their cardboard space shuttle.

Was this a dream? Sarah could see many rainbow-colored space people walking toward her spacecraft. These space people appeared to be friendly because they were all smiling sweetly at Sarah and Beth, Adam and Keith. That made them want to smile back.

“Sarah Mitchell, we have been watching you for a long time now. We are very pleased that you are generous enough to want to share your gifts with children on other planets. You and your friends are invited to come with us now and meet the children on our Planet Love.”

Sarah quickly wrote a note explaining where they were going. Then all of a sudden, they were beamed into a beautiful space vehicle. As they walked around inside they could see the controls and cockpit of this real space shuttle. There was even a computer on board with lights that blinked and flashed.

The kind commander asked Sarah if she would like to sit in the command seat and fly the spacecraft to the Planet Love. “Oh! Beth, Adam and Keith, my dream is really coming true!” laughed Sarah.

The spaceship soared into outer space at a speed of Mach three. “That means we are going three times faster than the speed of sound,” explained the wise commander. Sarah asked millions of questions and decided space travel was truly fascinating.

Through the window, everyone on board could see bright lights ahead. It looked like a rainbow path leading to a rainbow-colored planet. Sarah told Beth, Adam and Keith that it had to be the Planet Love. Then they all got ready to disembark!

The children of Planet Love were thrilled to see the people from the Planet Earth. They told Sarah that they loved the flowers, games and other gifts, but their favorite gifts were the books. Everybody laughed and had so much fun learning about each other.

Beth, Adam and Keith told Sarah it would be fabulous if they could bring the joy and happiness from Planet Love back to Houston. But then, all too soon, in a big flash of bright, blue lights, they were beamed back to Earth.

Sarah anxiously asked, “Was it just a dream?” Then Sarah looked at Beth, Adam and Keith in disbelief and amazement. They were each wearing a rainbow-colored outfit. They all smiled at the same time. There really was a Planet Love! Mission Complete!
