PREFACE

I had the idea for this story a while ago, although watching a documentary called "Our Universe" helped shape it as it gave me the idea of using wormholes as a means of traveling. Please note that my portrayal of black holes is fictitious as you wouldn't normally be sucked into them and spewed out on the other side but rather combust as soon as you near them. That didn't serve the purpose of my story, though, thus the adaptation.

Furthermore, to the best of my knowledge, there's no such thing as a lunar galaxy but who says that there mightn't be in another universe? I firmly believe that the possibilities are endless. Just like the universe itself.

And no one knows how long it would take to travel through space by unconventional means, so traveling may just happen in the blink of an eye.

Also, Covid doesn't exist in space.

The Mashed Potato Fight

"Get them! We can't lose this one!" Sami, the captain of the turquoise team, shouted from the top of her lungs.

It was their weekly fighting practice. Every Friday afternoon for five hours two teams consisting of one flying vessel each were throwing mashed potato balls at each other. Winning or losing depended on precision, speed and throwing and dodging techniques of the players as well as the helmsman's ability to maneuver the vessel safely and nimbly right into the melee or out of harm's way.

"Stop!" the referee yelled. "You tried to ram the neon orange team again. That's a no go! One more time and I'll take twenty points off of your final score."

"Can't they wait until the competition starts before they damage and break their ships?" he grumbled. "At least I could disqualify them straight away and end the game early."

"Referee, duck!" Sasha from the neon orange team bellowed as she chucked a mashed potato ball at one of the thirteen fighting crew members of the turquoise team. She hit a leg and was immediatly awarded ten points. The score on the colossal billboard attached to the sun automatically kept track of it and it now read: 60 (neon orange team) - 90 (turquoise team)

Sasha's team desperately wanted to beat Sami's, seeing as they had lost the last two practice matches. They unleashed ball after ball but they only managed to hit legs and arms, scoring ten points each time, whereas Sami's team often hit their chests and backs, scoring twenty points every time. Sasha would be happy if no one got hit in the head today. Head hits were worth fifty points.
