‘It’s magical,’ said Miya. She took out her SpaceBerry and took a photo of it.

‘Good idea,’ said Addie who was still getting used to having her own school-issue mobile phone with a camera in it. ‘I’ll send this photo home to my friend Jess.’

‘Show’s over now, cadets,’ said Space Surfer. ‘We’re going in and will touch down on Aquare very soon.’

‘Thanks, Space Surfer,’ the girls said and they headed back to their seats for landing.

Addie looked out her window again. A planet was coming into view and it looked like it was on fire. ‘Aquare,’ she said. ‘It’s weird that it’s so yellow. I know it’s outer space but I just expect a water planet to be blue.’

Outside, Saturn 6’s rings seemed to fill with air like a floaty. Then it gently set down on a bright yellow sea and floated like a boat.

‘Okay, cadets,’ said Space Surfer as he stepped into the cabin, ‘grab your helmets, aqualungs and mission packs and follow me down to the launching bay.’

The girls followed Space Surfer down some stairs to another area with a long wall at the back of it. He keyed in a code on the wall’s security pad.

A door slid open and they stepped inside the launching bay. Space Surfer helped the girls with their helmets and strapped on their aqualungs. ‘Check the controls for the flip-jets on your watches are working.’

‘Done,’ the girls replied as they attached their flip-jets to their suited feet.

‘Then you’re good to go,’ said Space Surfer. ‘There’s a button on the outside to open the doors when you want to come back inside. Good luck, space cadets. I’ll wait here until you return.’ He stepped back inside the lower cabin and closed the door behind him.

‘Let’s do it,’ said Miya. She hit the release button on the outer wall. The doors opened and they dived into a brilliant yellow sea.
