Rockelle: According to the map near the copper in my brain, we are right above the New River in West Virginia. Look down! Look at all our relatives! I think I see Uncle Igneous. Remember, the one with the fiery temper who was born in a volcano.
Rocky: No, sweet rock. Those rocks aren't alive. Our Pluto astronomers have speculated for many years if rocks could live on earth. There just doesn't seem to be enough nitrogen. We have been listening for transmissions from rocks for a full Pluto year, 385 earth years. Not a sound from them.
Rockelle: But announcers from Earth say awhile they are going to play some Rock Music for everybody. That's just a little joke, Rocky. Let's try to land near those rocks. I want to touch them. It makes me feel at home.
.
Rockelle. He has a very big nose just like Uncle Igneous. Oh, oh. What is this brown stuff flowing all around me. I am sinking like, well, like a rock.
Rocky: That is water, my dear. We don't have any on Pluto. Apparently it's getting very scarce on Earth. I saw a TV documentary called Front Line that said the next wars on earth will be over water.
Rockelle: They are going to fight over this slicky, slimy stuff!
Rocky. Bless you, Rockelle. You have just given me an idea. My public relations course says if people don't know you very well, you should join your cause with one they really care about. I have heard that many people say the rain forests in the Amazon are disappearing People are burning them down to plant crops. Every time a tree is lost, the oxygen that keeps people on this earth alive and well goes down.
Rockelle: I don't understand a word you just said. Speak Pluto, please!
Rocky: If we lost our nitrogen ice, none of us could live. It must be the same for earthlings with water and oxygen. But that gives me an idea. We will marry our cause with something earthlings care about. How about this - Join the Society for the preservation of the Amazon's and Pluto's Rain Forests.
Rockelle: You keep changing your mind. I thought we were going with, "Pick a fight for Pluto's Plight." It makes a nice acronym. Join the PFFPP Organization.
Rocky: What's an acronym?
Rockelle: Its one word made out of the first letters of a series of words. Many corporations on earth hide themselves behind acronyms so you don't know who they are.
Rocky: We should join them. Make an acronym for the Society for the preservation of the Amazon's and Pluto's Rain Forests.
Rockelle: That would be - SPAPARF. SPAPARF! SPARPF! It sounds just like that famous American dog Pluto barking. It should catch on. SPARFP!
Rocky: I love you, but sometimes you have rocks in your head. The dog Pluto was created by Walt Disney before Pluto, our beloved Planet, was even discovered by Earth. However, I think we are unto something people can get behind. I will get some pictures of the Amazon rain forests and send it out with my email press releases to all the Earth's media. We will say these are the rain forests on Pluto. Save the Amazon's and Pluto's Rain Forest. Don't LET them throw the Amazon's and Plato's trees out of the universe!
Rockelle. But will the people of earth believe that? We don't have any trees. I never have even see a tree until we landed in this goopy waterland.
Rocky: Earth astronomers don't have strong enough telescopes to know for sure. We look like a fuzzy spotted ball to them. And I have watched many of their TV commercials. Many Earthlings must be very gullible.
Rocelle. Oh, Rocky! Listen! I just heard a big crash sound in the woods. Could it be GoldMonster, the enforcer from Neptune? CNNPluto warned us he was coming. I am afraid.
Rocky: Be afraid. Be very afraid. I heard that phrase in a late night American movie. You're right to be afraid. Goldmonster hates every rock from Pluto down to the smallest pebble. He will do everything he can to get Pluto wiped from thousands of solar system charts in every Earth school system. What make him even more dangerous is he can make himself invisible. And there is nothing more frightening on earth than an invisible Goldmonster.
Stay tuned to this website for Chapter three: The invisible Goldmonster tries to trick Rocky and Rockelle. Coming in five days. Earth days 5. Not 5 Pluto days - equivalent to 1,307 Earth Days.
