The Moon's Homework Helper

"Mine too!" said Noah. "Do you know anything about Stegosauruses?"

Zorp's antennas wiggled. "Stegosauruses? They loved to munch moon ferns! They used their spiked tails to dig them up!"

Mom, sketching furiously in her pad, chimed in. "And look! Those craters on the moon’s surface look just like giant footprints. Maybe they were made by a T-Rex doing a moon dance!"

Noah laughed. Learning about dinosaurs on the moon with his mom and a friendly alien was way more fun than doing homework at his desk in Fort Worth!

They spent the next hour exploring the moon, with Zorp sharing amazing dinosaur facts. They learned about Triceratops horns, Pterodactyl wings, and even met a sleepy baby Brachiosaurus who thought Noah's homework was a giant leaf!

"This is the best homework help ever!" Noah exclaimed, catching a floating pencil with his toes.

"See, learning can be an adventure!" Mom said, her spacesuit sparkling. "But it's time to head back. Remember, all adventures, even moon ones, have to end sometime."

Zorp waved goodbye as Noah and Mom closed their eyes, holding onto each other tight. When they opened their eyes, they were back in their living room. The dinosaur car wash was gone, and the only sign of their moon trip was a faint shimmer of moondust on Noah's homework.

"That was incredible, Mom!" Noah said, hugging her tight.

"It certainly was!" Mom laughed, ruffling his hair. "Now, how about we finish that dinosaur homework? And maybe, just maybe, we can add a little moon magic to it."

Noah grinned. He couldn't wait to tell everyone at school about the day he did his homework on the moon with his mom, a friendly alien, and a whole bunch of amazing dinosaurs!
