1. 

   Sami loved asking big questions at breakfast. “Why does the Moon follow us? Do comets get chilly? Can a lion roar in space?” On the windowsill, a red rocket button gave a tiny, hopeful blink.

2. 

   After toast, Sami packed three important things: a moon map, a snack of cheesy stars, and Lion, the bravest cuddly captain in the house. “Ready for the first kids-only Moon Mission?” asked Sami. Lion looked extremely ready.

3. 

   Behind the garden shed stood a cosy little rocket ship, round as a kettle and painted red around the door. Its hatch popped open. Out rolled Bleep, a clever robot, with a beep, a bow, and a very long checklist.

4. 

   “Checklist!” said Bleep. “Moon map?” “Yes!” said Sami. “Snacks?” “Yes!” “Kindness?” Sami paused, then tucked an extra cheesy star into Lion’s paw. “Yes,” said Sami. “We’ll need heaps of that.”

5. 

   WHOOSH went the rocket. Up past clouds, up past birds, up past the place where the sky turns deep blueberry blue. Sami pressed nose-close to the window. “Look, Bleep! The Earth is a giant marble!”

6. 

   Then—PING! The moon map floated away and wrapped itself around Bleep’s antenna. “I am now a map-bot,” beeped Bleep. Sami giggled, caught one corner, and carefully smoothed it flat. Curious hands, calm plan.

7. 

   Ahead glittered the Twinkle Tunnel, packed with tiny stars that bounced like popcorn. Bleep’s sensors went buzzy. “Too sparkly to see the way!” Sami studied the map. “We don’t rush,” said Sami. “We count and steer.”

8. 

   “One red star, two silver stars, three gold stars—turn!” said Sami. Bleep followed each careful call. Round they glided, past the blinkers and bouncers, until the Twinkle Tunnel twinkled safely behind them.

9. 

   On a quiet blue moonlet, a tiny alien called Pip was building a flag tower. But every time Pip stacked a block—boing!—it floated away. Pip sighed. “I cannot make it stay up.”

10. 

    Sami wondered, watched, and wondered some more. “Bleep, can your magnet feet hold the bottom? Lion can hug the blocks. I’ll stack slowly.” Together they made a tower: click, hold, stack—hurrah!

11. 

    Pip gave them a moonberry compass. “This finds the quietest landing spot,” Pip said. But the compass spun, spun, spun near a comet’s fizzy tail. “My cleverness is wobbling,” admitted Bleep.

12. 

    Sami listened. The compass hummed louder when everyone spoke at once, but softly when they listened together. “One voice, then another,” said Sami. Pip pointed. Bleep calculated. Lion gave one small, helpful roar. The compass settled.

13. 

    At last, the Moon filled the windscreen—silver, round, and waiting. But its landing plain was covered in sleepy moon-dust clouds. Sami used Pip’s compass, Bleep’s careful calculations, and Lion’s brave roar: “Rrrready!” Down they drifted.

14. 

    Puff! The rocket landed as softly as a feather. Sami opened the hatch and planted a little flag: FRIENDS FIRST MOON MISSION. Bleep beeped a victory tune. Pip cheered. Lion roared so politely that even the craters seemed to smile.

15. 

    Back home, Sami tucked Lion under a blanket and set the moonberry compass on the windowsill. The Moon winked above the garden. “Best mission?” whispered Sami. “We got there together.” Lion said nothing, but stole the last cheesy star.
