They were going to explore this small natural satellite. So, began the journey. They started on the road to the spaceship that has been stashed away in their warehouse. When they got there, the spaceship was already taken. Maybe someone wanted to reach there before they did, and unfortunately didn't have one of their own. But fortunately there's a tracker in it, so they started to trace it.

The signal was coming from the other end of the planet. Clearly these thieves know how to steal a spaceship.

They called their friends to borrow their spaceship, but everyone were on their own journeys to the center of the boredom. As it's uncommon to own a spaceship their search for a spare spaceship ended quickly. Without wasting time, they booked a flight and reached the location.

To their surprise, the one who stole it, was their mother.

She insisted on them staying at home instead of venturing on these unnecessary voyages out of earth. They refused. They said it'd be fun. Finally, asked her to join in their adventure. But she refused.

"What kind of stupid argument is that? When I am asking you to stay here, you are asking me to tag along to this death trip?"

"Mother, it's not that dangerous. We did this all the time, except for the last few months."

"Okay, but promise me you will escape any death traps and not take them head on?"

"Well... going on a spaceship is a death trap itself--"

He was elbowed by his brother.

"Just kidding mother. We'll be alright. We can't promise anything, as we have to be honest, but we won't be in the harm's way."

"We won't be in the harm's way, because we'll be beside it? Is that how you wanted to finish the sentence?" Mother quipped.

"Savage mother, queen of sass, please, have mercy on our young souls."

"You ain't children. You both grown idiots."

"Well, say that again, slowly."

"I knew you were my kids. You aren't children, but you're still kids to me. Drop that sassy act in front of me. And drop me at home before you go. Bring a piece of it while coming back, will add it to dinner."

"Ah, thank you mother."

They dropped her off and continued their travel.

When they finally reached the perimeter of the destination, one of them said, "That's no moon."

"Yeah, it looks like cheese."
