I chose Outer Space because I'm a Trekkie at heart. Maybe they could do something along the lines of Space Cases (kids lost in space), or Galaxy Quest (actors playing their sci-fi tv parts), or perhaps something new, like "The Adventures of Escapay":
(Kram and I actually wrote this in the car on the way to visit Jane at college. We'd alternate lines, but that went too slow, so we began to alternate whenever we felt like we didn't want to write anymore)
On the way to see Jane, Kram and Escapay wrote:There once was a spaceboy named Escapay. He lived on Kalua, the 36th planet from the star Chalopa. His best friend, who was from Targrans (18th from Chalopa) was tarjay. Tarjay had a spacedog named Zwitter, who could stand on his tail if you pulled his left ear. And now that we know who everyone is, let's begin...The Adventures of Escapay!!!
Chapter 1: Zwanzig, the all-knowing
Escapay and Whammy (who used to be called Tarjay) traveled far and wide to visit the all-knowing Zwanzig in his kiwi shaped abode. They didn't tell their parents, because they're such worrywarts, and so they hitched a ride on a passing Trewall ship, which as everyone knows, is only the best way to go gallivanting about the galaxy.
Captain Bud Von Get (with a J sound) welcomed all gallivanters on his good ship Trewell.
"Welcome!" the jolly fat captain said, as he handed them t-shirts that read "A lot of Pie is good for piemakers." Soon more guests came onboard and the captain had run out of t-shirts, so after t-shirt 32,427 was given away, no more guests were allowed on board. Fortunately, the guest that would have been 32,428 was a smelly Nadderl from Nad, so no one had to smell him. Escapay, whose nose was broken and in the shop, felt pity for the Nadderl and gave him a kazoo so Nadderl would feel better. The kazoo played only one song, "Eleanor Rigby", but uf you donated 700 starbucks to the "FREE THE OZEBURLS!" cause, they would give you ten songs. "Interuterine, An Ode to Childbirth" was the rare song given with a donation of 3,754 starbucks and a lane of pennies.
Soon the Trewell ship was on its way to Earth, where Zwanzig was thought to live, and Escapay and Tarjay (he's Tarjay again) were sitting in a lounge with their friend Buffliette, and they were playing Tixe, a card game.
"Tlef!" said Escapay, since he had managed to obtain all the Jacks and a four of diamonds. Consequently, a sea monkey had his money, so Escapay couldn't declare Tlef until he could prove he was a natural blue. To do this, Tarjay and Buffliette had to help him remove his exoskeleton to show Bernice, the sea monkey who also happened to have quite a big schnozz, that he was a natural blue.
Bernice laughed when she saw Escapay's exoskeleton. But Bernice laughed so hard that she had to excuse herself to the "MeMe" room, in turn Escapay still could not declare Tlef. Captain Bud Von Get entered the lounge to tell them that they'd be at Earth in about an hour and to freshen up because there'd be a "Welcome to Earth" party once they landed and the party was hosted by Trebla Tierrezug, President of the world Earth.
"Isn't Earth one of the leading planets who produces fluit?" Tarjay asked, as he brushed his teeth with flooberoo paste.
"That's Ealth, Tarjay," Escapay said. "Earth is where Zwanzig is, along with those cities from the daily documentaries we've been watching. You know, Guiding Light and All My Children and such."
"You mean we'll get to see Llanview, Pine Valley, and Harmony!?" Buffliette asked as she barged into their room wih her cat Sicilian Pi Zaa, who immediately began hissing at Zwitter, who was shaving behind his ears.
And this concluded their talk about daily documentaries.
"Planet ho!" Captain Bud Von Get cried as they landed in Earth's orbit.
"Planet Ho? We're going to the planet filled with chocolate pastry-like cakes?" the rather dim Bernice said.
"No, that's Planet Ho-Ho, the land of milk and pastries," said Escapay. "But Planet Ho is the planet where Santa's Elves come from."
"No, that's Planet Ho-Ho-Ho, the land of eternal winter," Buffliette said. "But I wouldn't mind going to Planet Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho, the planet of Gabby's Girls where they serve you naked popcorn."
"Eww," said Tarjay. They then disembarked onto the ship that would take them to the transporters that would beam them to the transit system that would transport them to the customs building that they'd register at, then ride the great glass elevators to the surface of Earth where they were to be welcomed.
"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours, damn right, it's better than yours," the elevator played.
"Ancient 21st Century music," sighed Buffliette. "Can we change the Muzak?"
"For 21 starbucks," said Stan the Elevator Man. So the four (Escapay, Tarjay, Buffliette, and Bernice) each gave 5 starbucks and Zwitter gave one. The muzak changed to "Space Cowboy" by NSYNC. Everyone burst out laughing at the ancient boyband music and their silly lyrics. The history of the group was bittersweet, because the one named Justin was overpromoted in later years and couldn't commit to anyone after his fiance Cameron Diaz ran out from their wedding.
"Jilted? Poor boy...Jilted Justin was a great tragedy, by the way. I saw it at the Zanadoozy Operahouse last week," said Bernice. "The sea monkey who played Justin was wonderful. Some say he was related to Timberlake himself, since he was the great (x30) son of Kimberly Williams-Paisley who was rumored to have an affair with him. But I don't believe it because she was a good person, you know she founded the Correspondence College for underprivileged teenagers."
"Wasn't that Vanessa Williams?" said Escapay.
"No! I'm right, I know it! Study your history, mon!"
"Hey, did you learn about how-"
"Velcome to Earth!" said a big happy group. They were Svedes, not to be confused with Swedes.
"Ve are happy you are here!" one of the Svedes said. They then parted in the middle, and President Trebla walked towards them.
"Omagosh! It's the President!" Tarjay whispered to Escapay.
"Let me try something," Buffliette said. "Look Tarjay, it's a tar salesman!"
"Omagosh, it's a tar salesman!" Tarjay said.
"I welcome you to Earth people of..." Trebla whispered to his assistant Philmore, "Where is it they are from?"
"Kalua, Targrans, Snooter, and Kumbaya, the planet of sea monkeys," said Philmore.
"Welcome people of Qualooyah, Targrannys, Snooter and Kumbaya, the planet of sea monies!"
There was a big party, filled with music and entertainment. Then, the witch Eglantine Price the 33rd did some magic. "Ooh, ahh!" they all said. When she turned Captain Bud Von Get into a lovely toad with pink eyes, they laughed hysterically. After the magic acts, they took a transporter to Lake Buena Vista, to visit Disney City and the Parks Museum.
"And to your left is a recreation of beautiful Schweitzer Falls. I'd like you to notice this area here," the tour guide said as she piloted their tour boat behind the falls. "A common spiel mentioned this rare view fo the backside of water!"
"Ooooh!" the guests said. Zwitter took a picture and Bernice tried to drink some of it.
"Ma'am, please don't drink this recreated water," the guide said. "It's fake water, and yes, there is such a thing as fake water."
They then went over to the moviehouse, where there was a screening of "Reubstory", the hilarious comedy. Escapay loved the scene at MGM during Millionaire Play It!
"Millionaire is so little now," Escapay said. "They really should convert to spacebucks here on Earth. Or at least change from millionaire to googlian."
"I didn't get that one joke about Zenon and Days of our Lives and 7th Heaven," said Tarjay.
"Well, duh! It was quite obvious!" said Buffliette.
"Yeah! It was obvious!" said Bernice. She started laughing, thinking about the joke.
"Hehehe, I can't believe you didn't get it," said Escapay. Tarjay still felt confused but also mad that his friends were laughing at him. So he ditched them and went over to Tomorrowland, where with a little thing called time travel, allowed it always to be Tomorrowland, not Todayland or Yesterdayland, or worse, Disneyland's Tomorrowland from 1998 on.
Tarjay was enjoying the recreated Adventures Thru Inner Space when suddenly there was a flash and a Winnebago with wings appeared. A family in silver came out.
"I thought we were gonna visit the past," the daughter said.
"Well this future is someone's past, Pim," the dad said.
"Hey look! Escapay!" the son said.
"Idiot, that's Tarjay!" Pim said.
And we stopped there.
