Frogs in the Future

Intro

A few years ago, in the Fifth Grade, I started this little short story about what would happen 75 million years in the future. I still haven’t finished it.

Prologue

75 million years in the future all of the humans go into a giant space ship and fly out of the solar system and for some reason a suicidal pilot “accidentally” presses the ESDB (Emergency Self Destruct Button). Sadly, the entire space ship explodes and all of the humans alive perish. The End.

Chapter 1

Not so fast reader, I’m not done with my story yet. We have a long way to go. 35 million years after the humans all die frogs and toads start evolving, they became smarter, faster, and adapted fingers and thumbs. They made phones, laptops, computers. All water proof (more or less). Soon after, they started to communicate. Their tongues became shorter and used nets to catch food instead of their tongues. They made cars and boats for faster travel.

Chapter 2

One thousand years past and the frogs and toads became bored of Earth and began to create space ships to take mice and rats to the moon. The rats got scared because of strange footprints in the moon dust and a very large pole with a waving flag. It was really the humans who came here so very long ago.

Chapter 3

The mice were soon suspected of radioactive behavior, the frogs thought that the moon would cure them. Instead the mice all came back equipped with blood red lasers and explosive missile launchers. The frogs fought back with with katana and shuriken launchers. The frogs and toads successfully won, but not by a long shot. The frogs captured the mice and took out the radioactive poison that was given to them the first time they went to the moon.

Chapter 4

Months later a toad named Gram, servant to Sir. Nibbleson, created a giant space ship named Berry, while Sir. Nibbleson was on vacation. The rocket ship was blue and silver with royal purple polka dots on it. It was a full model, 4422SpaceCatcher. About three or four people could fit inside. So what Gram did was call the IASS (International Association of Spasms in Space). The frogs were extremely impressed by the fact that Gram all managed to do this in less than one month. The IASS awarded Gram with the EERS medal (Extreme Engineering for Rockets for Space). It is known as one of the most honorable medals in the world. Also, Gram was gifted with one million Siptlons (currency) in return for the space ship, and the ability to be apart of the Mars mission. Gram accepted the offer and bought himself a huge mansion just for him. He lived there until the mission was given to two other people and him.

Chapter 5

Three creatures lined up with their space helmets and miniature space suits. The captain, at the far left, was named Gram, he is a short, very lazy, ugly, and extremely clever toad. Gram has very long legs and many yellow-green warts all over his body. He is also the engineer of the ship. The one in the center is Phil. He is a strong but slow tortoise. Phil has a green and yellow shell lined in black. He is the co-captain, also the one who coded Berry’s AI (artificial intelligence). Then there is Nathan. Nathan is a handsome, strong, white mouse. He is the guts and strength of the team. He also is in charge of the food, the water system, and all the other things of the Life Support system. Nathan is a long-furred white mouse with red eyes and a pale, pink nose. He does not have lasers the comes out of his eyes and he is one of the few mice who decided to stay on Earth and be on the frog team. The three creatures, Gram, Phil, and finally the young, energetic Nathan all boarded the blue and silver with royal purple polka dots ship named Berry and started the count down.

Chapter 6

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1… LIFTOFF!! They blasted through the sky, leaving a trail of thick, black smoke behind them. Gram, the one driving, steered the ship up, up, and up. breaking the sound barrier with it. The three of them left the troposphere quickly. They tore through clouds and the thin air. Phil, trying his very best to keep Berry quiet unsuccessfully though so that Gram can stay as focused as possible.
An hour passed, they have finally reached the exosphere, almost into the deep, dark, vast space. “Gravity floor activated” Berry said sweetly. “You may now move about the cabin” The Gram rasped. Nathan unbuckled his seat belt and ran to the restroom. While Nathan was doing his “business” Phil went to go and make himself a sandwich. He filled it with tomatoes, lettuce, and of course, strawberry jam. Phil ate it intently, gobbling up everything. He then went to go and rest in his cabin.
His cabin had a large, flat-screen TV, and a super comfy chair to go along with his super high-tech desk and extremely comfortable forgetting foam bed. Nathan finally left the restroom, refreshed. Then made two sandwiches one at the request of Gram. The ship still could not go on auto-pilot because they could not see Mars just yet.
Three days past, Nathan, in charge of all the weaponry, checked to see how everything was going while the ship was on auto-pilot. He saw something bad, very, very, bad. “ASTEROID!!!!” he screamed.

Chapter 7

“Hey there guys, it appears there are asteroids about to hit the ship, I’ll do my best to dodge them, I may need help from Gram the captain.” Announced Berry from the speaker. Gram leaped into the pilot’s seat, grabbed the wheel and swerved the ship almost sideways, just barely missing an asteroid. “What do you think you are doing?! I almost flipped backwards! You know how long it takes to flip me back forwards again! Phil rasped. “Sorry Phil, I did my best to keep it as strait as possible, I would rather go through the pain and horror of your whining then die by an asteroid.” Gram replied.
Nathan sprinted through the ship to the pilot quarters where Phil and Gram were. Panting, he said ” A- a- a-” “We know, the ship turned sideways, we’ve reached the asteroids, buckle your seat belt, we are going for a ride.

Chapter 8

“Ow!” Nathan whined “Stop whining. It’s only a little scratch.” Scolded Gram. “Can you at least drive a little smoother?” Nathan complained. Gram sighed and then spoke in a harsh whisper; “Do you see that asteroid over there?” Nathan gazed for a few seconds out the window and nodded, then Gram continued; “Would you rather your head splattered on that asteroid and your brain goo gushing out?” “N-n-no thank you.” Nathan stuttered. “Then shut up and stop complaining!” Croaked Gram.

Chapter 9

“That’s the last of ’em.” Gram observed as he looked out the front-view camera, that was showing on the main screen. “Good, I almost died, all those asteroids and turning, it gave me all those bruises. Thank goodness Phil wasn’t flipped over.” Nathan huffed. “Yeah, that sure woulda been quite the doozy.” Gram teased. “Hey!” Phil yowled. “Sorry Phil, it had to be said.” Nathan chuckled.

Three days passed since the asteroid belt, they were beginning to approach Mars. Gram was just getting out of bed, a mess as it usually is. Phil was space fishing for space worms(which are extremely rare and contain nutrients that can give you energy for weeks on end). Nathan was walking up to the main deck to get some coffee, from Berry who was auto piloting the ship at the time. “Mornin’ Berry.” Nathan groaned out of drowsiness. “Morning Nat!” Berry replied enthusiastically. “I told you not to call me Nat! It is Nathan, with a “th” sound!” Nathan squeaked. “Fine, fine Nathan.” Berry said cooly. “Than-” “NAT” Berry shouted as she interrupted Nathan. “I am just so done with you” Nathan concluded.
