1 A Long Ride The roar of the rocket engines quieted to a hum as the ship gently touched down on Pluto It had been a long ride from Jupiter Tina had slept most of the way but her twin sister Trudy kept busy She had just finished reading her newest mystery novel The Strange Disappearance on Neptune’s Moons 5
Wake up said Trudy as she closed her book We’re finally here Tina yawned and rubbed her eyes as the twins grabbed their bags and hopped off the ship Their teacher Ms Bickleblorb was waiting for them Oh girls you made it she said as she gave them each a hug I couldn’t imagine getting married without you both here 6
Why are you getting married all the way on Pluto asked Tina before a yawn It’s Max’s idea she said Isn’t he so romantic He wants to get married on New Year’s Day and that’s a special day here Why is that asked Tina I know said Trudy Because Pluto only has a New Year’s Day once every 247 years Wow said Tina 7
