  Abruptly, everyone heard the engine.
“We’re flying, Queenie, we’re flying Parthena!” Arthur exclaimed.
“Meowww…..” Queenie purred.
“Squawk..” Parthena mumbled drowsily. They could feel the gently rumbling of the engine beneath their feet. Each tender wind tickled Arthur’s face like a feather. A fresh aroma of bread filled the ship, wafting up the twins’ nose, reminding them of home.. From below, the abyssal depths of the sea sway one side to another, while the warm breeze flew through Maudie’s hair. Above them, the ragged edges of the clouds were colliding with beams of light, which had tinted them with red and amber.

Unexpectedly, that once beautiful sky turned into a darkened mackerel sky…
“Why is the rain being so relentless?” Harriet thought. Eventually, a deafening silence broke the noise…
“Arthur, what’s happening?” Maudie said with a blink of worry, as she was being dragged inside by an icy iron arm. A light flickered outside. Maudie shuddered as Arty whispered to her assuringly,
“I don’t know, ask Captain Culpepper.”
“Alright. HARRIET! WHAT’S HAPPENING!?” Maudie cried.
“I don’t know, twinnies.. Please can you figure out what’s happening through the windows?” Harriet shouted. Culpepper penetrated for some kind of answer on the dashboard, although there wasn’t anything wrong with the ship-BOOM! A peal of thunder was glimpsed. BANG! A flash of lightning bolted across the gloomy sky. Torrents of rain dropped onto the top of the sky ship, making tapping sounds….. TAP! TAP! TAP! 

“IT’S FELICITY, OUTSIDE!” Arthur and Maudie gulped. The crew ran to the windows to check. And there she was-
“It’s just my flashlight! Now open the door, I’m getting soaked!” Felicity signalled. They bring her inside to warm up, but then, a shooting star danced across the sky as they all gasped silently in awe…….
The End….
