Boy looks up at the night sky and makes a wish. Suddenly, a rocket appears in his backyard. 'Whoa! This is way cooler than I imagined!' he exclaims, jumping in. The rocket zooms up towards the moon, leaving a trail of colorful sparks behind.
As Boy lands on the moon, he sees a group of wacky aliens waiting to greet him. 'Hello, Earthling! We've been waiting for you!' says Zog, the purple alien with six eyes. The others have polka-dot antennae and sparkly tails. Boy can't help but giggle at their silly appearance.
The aliens lead Boy to their spaceship-shaped dinner table. 'What would you like to eat?' asks Zog. Boy looks at the table where food is floating in the air. 'Hmm, do you have space burgers?' he asks, feeling adventurous. The aliens all giggle and nod.
As Boy takes a bite of the space burger, his taste buds explode with flavors he's never experienced before. 'Whoa, this is out of this world!' he exclaims. The aliens cheer, happy to see Boy enjoying their food. They offer him space noodles, moon jelly, and starberry ice cream.
After they finish their meal, Boy asks the aliens about their life on the moon. 'How do you sleep without gravity?' he wonders. Zog replies, 'We have special sleep pods that float and keep us cozy.' The other aliens excitedly show Boy their moon gardens and moonball tournament. 'Would you like to join us?' they ask him.
Before it's time for Boy to leave, the aliens give him a jar filled with glowing moon dust. 'To remember us by,' they say. As Boy hops back into the rocket, he waves goodbye to his new alien friends. 'Thanks for the best moon adventure ever!' he shouts, knowing he'll cherish this memory forever.
