Starrider: Take Me to the Stars
Aka Cakerider: Take me to the Birthday Cake. And pronto, if you please :-)
Roberta (her friends called her Roby) was late (as usual, as her friends would say), but she couldn't be late on this special day. She had to reach the stratosphere over Florida on May 10th, not only to deliver Birthday flowers, but also to cause a decent UFO sighting. Boy, was she excited. This was the first time ever that she had been tasked with causing a UFO sighting. Her head spun as she imagined the headlines of the leading newspapers. "Manned UFO spotted over Florida!" "UFO or Cake? Florida mystery sighting reported!" "2020 - The Year We Finally Made Cake!" She chose the fastest vehicle from the Starrider Pool - a classy single-seater, the Starrider PDN (short for Pastel de Nata) Strawberry Edition. It was her favourite Starrider, faster than the light. She jumped on board, revved up the engine, and headed towards Earth at top speed, 150 wuph (Warp units per hour), when 50 wuph were allowed. But so what, she had to reach Florida on time! As she entered the Warp tunnel, she heard a suspicious "Wiiiiuuu, wiiiuuu!!!" behind her. Oh no! Could that be the Warp Cops? They couldn't catch her, not today, pleeaase!!! She quickly had to cook up an excuse (and she would always get away with everything, her friends said)... When she pointed her right antenna backwards, she could see the blue lights flashing, as the siren's wailing got louder and louder.... Would she reach her destination on time?
Happy Birthday, dear ironicdream!
