Finally after two moons I saved enough money to go to lavender springs. You might think, ‘goodness you worked for two moons straight’ and I would say ‘yes, but I wanted to’ and it definitely paid off.

I stepped onto the platform of the space port and caught the ship to Astarera. I had been on over planet flights but never off world before and the thought was very exciting. I couldn’t believe my dreams were coming true. Hard work really does pay off. I sat down in my seat and watched the burning lights through the window as the ship passed through the ozone and into the depths of space. The cosmos shot past with flashes of rainbow colour. The people sitting next me, as well travelled business types, were uninterested.

We arrived on Astarera and I stepped off to an amethyst world. This was in the colour solar system and was the purple planet. It was my dream to visit all of them but for now one would do.

Sitting on the emerald sofas and gazing at the landscape I was so glad I had made this decision.
