The Music Fairy whistled very loud.
Almost immediately, a thin light-brown spaceship appeared in the room from no-where.
Amazingly, the spaceship had the same markings and was shaped just like our
dog Rainbow: it was light-brown, had white spots, big and small, white belly and light-brown lights
instead of the eyes.
“We can get to the fantasy planet Cor Nelg by this spaceship, or, if you prefer, I can get a Magic Pony
or anything else you like to take us there”, the Music Fairy gave me a choice.
I chose a rainbow-colored spaceship. My spaceship had 2 batteries: one was charged already from the sun panel, and the other one was going to get charged as we flew, using the energy of the flight.
But you, my reader, don’t have to. You can go to the Fantasy planet whichever way You Imagine.
What would that be?
You can E-mail me your answer to Rainbow1_9@msn.com and I will add it to the story.
Here is Jon's spaceship and the story! Click on his drawing below to read it.
My Mom, Rainbow, and I followed the Fairy inside the spaceship.
“Welcome into the cockpit.” – The Fairy cheery invited everyone. “Joseph, you’ll be the captain!”
Everyone saluted me, including Rainbow, who sat down and put her paw next to her ear.
I was very excited –this was my first time in a spaceship! Plus I was going to be a captain!
How about you, my buddy-listener? Come with us!
“Before we lift off,” proceeded the Music Fairy, “we all need to memorize these magic words”
– she pointed at a small framed drawing on the wall of the cockpit. It had white clouds resting on
icicles with letters written underneath.

“This is a what you will have to find once we get to our destination – The Fantasy Planet Cor Nelg,”
explained The Music Fairy. These words will help us get there, captain,” The Fairy continued.
Read each word down:”
“Con Brio, Entering, Galaxy, Beautiful and Delightful Fantasy, Adventure”,
I read slowly.
“What do these words mean?” I was puzzled. “What is Con Brio?”
“Con Brio means “lively” in another language, Italian. And Galaxy
means stars.
You will discover the secret behind these words yourself later.”
The Music Fairy winked familiarly at me.
“Let’s repeat these words with Joseph a few times, so we can
remember them and help Joseph say them, if he gets in trouble”, Music Fairy
asked my mom and Rainbow."
Yes, Rainbow. My friend, you see, at the Fantasy Planet Cor Nelg, Rainbow could speak
like you and I.
“Con Brio, Entering, Galaxy, Beautiful and Delightful Fantasy, Adventure”,
“Con Brio, Entering, Galaxy, Beautiful and Delightful Fantasy,Adventure”.
“Good. Now it is time to fly. Take charge, captain” The Fairy pointed at a red
chair for me to sit in, and sat down herself next to me, while my mom and Rainbow
got comfortable in the back of the spaceship.“
“I have to fly the spaceship?!” I was so excited.
”Do your best”, the Music Fairy yelled in excitement.

There was another empty red seat on the other side of mine.
It is for YOU, my friend, co-captain-reader.
“Buckle up” - I took charge and proceeded by hitting the Ready button, raising the
throttle, and getting ready to hit the Go button.
Co-captain-reader, maybe you want to hit the Go button?
See that big red one?
Yep, Take off!
The spaceship slowly took off, then sped up like an arrow,
and then went fast at the speed of light!
10 minutes later I was shouting:
“Help! Help! Red-hot burning rocks, meteors, are flying at our spaceship!”
“Say the magic words”, The Magic Fairy shouted.
My co-captain, help me! Please say those magic words too:
Con Brio, Entering Galaxy, Beautiful and Delightful Fantasy Adventure!
It worked! As soon as I said those words, the meteors flew backwards.
5 minutes later, we were safely approaching the Fantasy planet Cor Nelg.
“Turning off all motors! Hitting the brakes. Landing!” I yelled in excitement.
Guess what happened next?...
