Green Means Go

another essay for school. lol

        We all have our own perceptions and beliefs how the world started. Some ancient civilizations such as the Navajo believe that the first beings crawled up through a reed from the three underworlds into the Fourth World where the process of creating all living things began. To most people, that sounds a little unbelievable, but to the Navajo civilizations, that is what they believe in! Well, for this essay, I am going to write about an ancient civilization that I recently discovered while vacationing in Peru this past Christmas. The civilization was totally different from any other ancient civilization I have ever seen before! I found high tech equipment that is far beyond our technical capabilities today that was buried deep beneath the sand and rubble. My perception about the beginning of the world has changed due to my discovery. After quiet a bit of research, I came upon some interesting facts that all return to this ancient civilization. Seeing how I discovered it, I got to name the people and the tribe. Once I put quiet a bit of thought into it, I finally decided that the people were Goomicklaflockonians and the tribes name was Goomicklaflock. But, get this, they were aliens! The came to Earth from the planet Turduckenoostritch! How fascinating!
        I suddenly found myself very interested in this group of people, dare I say aliens. I am not sure what it is about them, but something draws me to learn more and more about them. Has that ever happened to you with anything? Like for instance, you are sitting in math class learning this new thing called, let's say, distributive property. You find it so easy and you are so happy that you finally understand something in math that you want to keep doing problems like that, and just for fun too! Upon my return home from work that Saturday night, I quickly ate my supper and sat down in our big, black, leather computer chair faced with our new Dell computer. I started on some research and worked late into the night. I did not realize how tired I actually was until I started drifting off too...zzzzz.
        There I was, on the planet of Turduckenoostritch. Goomicklaflocks were everywhere! I do not know how, but somehow, I knew that I was a part of that community. I looked around and took in my surroundings. The land was barren and looked frozen. Hardly if any vegetation had been seen anywhere! The people looked really skinny and seemed to suffer from malnutrition. I felt sorry for these people as I began to realize that due to their harsh climate and proximity to the sun, their way of life was devastatingly difficult! If only they knew about Earth! Oh how wonderful their lives would be if they knew about Earth! I decided that I was going to be the one to inform them about this planet called Earth. I marched downtown and right into the City Hall. With my luck, I ran into the mayor. Just the person I wanted to see too! The mayor was discussing something that sounded very important to the county commissioner. Before I confronted the mayor about the planet Earth, I listened in on their conversation. Now I knew this was the wrong thing to do because what I heard sounded pretty top secret! But, if it had been so secret, why didn't they hold their short meeting in an enclosed room where nobody would be able to listen to their argument?
        What I heard made me realize that I was not in the year 2009 anymore. Somehow, I was taken back in time as much as 7 million years! I got the conclusion of 7 million years from what I overheard. Earth does not exist yet! The mayor is planning to create Earth by using this thing called Operation Q. He is hoping that Operation Q will work this time, since it has failed at least 8 times. So that's what explains the creation of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto! I get it now! (People back home...I mean people in the future will never believe this!) Operation Q goes into affect at noon. I looked at my watch. That is in ten minutes! Knowing this very important information gave me a huge adrenaline rush! I ran up to the mayor, my mind controlling my body, and before I knew it, I had asked to be a part of Operation Q. He looked at me with a puzzling look and asked me for my name. I told him "Shailee Michaels" and he signed me onto the mission after questioning me about my motives and such. I was so excited to be a part of the creation of the soon-to-be greatest planet in the solar system!
        Seeing how I already knew about planet Earth's being, I had to keep my mouth shut. If I said anything related to the fact that I was from Earth...er...I was going to be from Earth, I would be kicked off of the mission and sent to the jail because they would think I was a spy. I couldn't have that now could I? Anyway, we were all at the space station getting our suits on and preparing for our trip into space. To tell you the truth, I had no idea what I was even doing! I'm honestly surprised they didn't put me through a training or something like that! I was so confused that I put my space suit on backwards! The general had to help me put my gear on correctly and he told me that I needed to get my head on straight! I guess I was just too excited to think straight! After everybody was ready, we boarded the hover car. As we took off, I remember thinking how excited I was. To have an opportunity like this is amazing!
        Once we got out into space, the mayor handed me the capsule labeled "Operation Q" and gave me instructions as to how to activate it. After having the instructions drilled into my head, I was tied to the rope and basically shoved out the door. I was to the point of excitement that I couldn't speak! When I got far enough from the hover car, I took the capsule out of my pocket and pressed the big, green "go" button. The general and the mayor started pulling me back towards the hover car. I got back in just in time to see Earth being created. First, there was a light. Then there were more colorful lights. The lights soon became so bright that we had to look away! We heard a big bang and then everything was dark. As we fearfully looked out the window, the light grew brighter, unveiling the wonderful planet Earth! Well actually, it wasn't called Earth yet, but it was once the mayor and general made me name it!
        We traveled to the planet and thoroughly inspected it, making sure that it was a proper habitat for living things. After our inspection, we returned back to the home planet, Turduckenoostritch. The second we got back to the mayor's office, he made an advertisement to the entire planet that they need to pack their bags! Everybody is heading to the new and more habitual planet Earth! This is the end of life on the planet Turduckenoostritch, and the beginning of a new society! There were parties being thrown everywhere throughout the planet! The mayor came up to me and...
        I awoke due to the sudden movement of my urge to dance to one of the songs in my dream. As I looked around the room, I was a little on the confusing side until I realized that it was all just a dream. I looked at the clock and it was now almost 11:00. Time to go to bed! Before I went to bed though, I checked my e-mail. There were the usual forwards and MySpace notifications. What's this? Who the heck is Sergeant Chicken Alfredo? I looked at the e-mail address to see if I recognized it. It read "[email protected]." This made me laugh hysterically! I clicked on the e-mail thinking it was just another one of those stupid spam e-mails, but after I began to read, I realized what it was. It was an e-mail from the mayor of Turduckenoostritch! My jaw dropped in amazement! So that was not all just a dream? I actually helped planet Earth come into existence! This is amazing! I replied back with a simple "You are welcome." I clicked send and headed off to bed. Doing all that research tired me out!
