With co-ordinates set for 'Titan' one of the moons around Saturn there was nothing else to do really.Moonpig set the alarm to let them know when they were in proximity to Titan ....................................................With that...everyone settled down to the drone of the engines....& very soon the gentle Snoring ! of Moonpig was all that could be heard in the U.F.O. as it hurtled through space .... Past the stars & the ....wide open spaces ( well there would be in space wouldn't there ? ) APigCanFly stuffed some cotton-wool in her ears & continued reading her 'Pigs Weekly' magazine...meanwhile Imapig2 was busy inspecting her wings,making sure the straps were in the right place.......The magazine slipped off APigCanFlys stomach as she drifted into a deep sleep, leaving Imapig2 to her own devices.She undid her seat-belt & jumped onto an old unopened box ( one of Moonpigs gadgets no doubt was inside ) & started to flap her 'wings'.." This feels good " she said to herself as her two bestest friends were still asleep..I'll just keep practising.......yawn...so that's what Imapig2 did..practise...practise... yawn ! yawn !.....zzZZ !

Time passes by ...then....Suddenly .....rrRRRing! rrRRRing !
"Must be nearly there " thought Imapig2..All three pigs opened their eyes,
" Ima ! ... get back in your seat & put your belt on " ordered Moonpig.
Imapig2 looked at APigCanFly, her chin beginning to wobble ( a sure sign she was about to cry )
" There there now " comforted APigCanFly giving Ima one of her special SMILES
Imapig2 sat back down in her seat & APigCanFly turned around & clipped her back safely in.Her attention was soon diverted away from Moonpig's sharp voice to the amazing scene out-side..." ooOO ! " marvelled Imapig2 "is That Titan ? " she asked pointing to a planet coming into view.

| All looked out-side |
APigCanFly declared " It looks like a...a...droplet of amber water suspended in ...space " & quickly put her trotters over her eyes again.
" Feeling 'Queezy' my love?" Moonpig recalled how she had felt earlier.
" I'll be alright in a little while....What were you going to say " APigCanFly changed the subject again
" I was saying about Titan " replied Moonpig, " .. it's quite Large really.... & my S.O.L.D ( Signs Of Life Detector ) tells me...there's a very likely chance that life might exist on this planet. Still we're not here for that, are we ?. Before we land & go out side we must take one of these,"... Moonpig pointed to the little blue pills he had taken out of his Drawers. These will give us oxygen ( should we need it ).
" I don't like taking tablets " whined Imapig2
" There completely dissolvable " Moonpig was quick to to add.
" Lets put them in a nice refreshing drink ? suggested APigCanFly. So she took the bottle of radish juice out that she had brought with her & handed some to Imapig2.
"Glug ! glug ! glug ! " went Imapig2 & the tablet ( which had dissolved ) in the drink went straight down her throat
Don't miss the Concluding chapter....coming soon
