Chatta Max was back home under Oni Pepperoni’s bathtub, sitting on his giant couch and feeling restless. He had just returned from his amazing alphabet adventure to Mexico, but he couldn’t stop thinking about all the wonderful places he still wanted to visit.
“I feel so excited!” Chatta Max said to himself, bouncing up and down on his couch. “Excited is when you feel happy and full of energy about something that’s going to happen!”
Chatta Max had received a very special invitation from his friend Captain Milky Way, the astronaut cow who lived on Mars. The invitation was written on sparkly space paper and said: “Come visit my dairy farm in space! We’re making the most amazing ice cream flavors in the galaxy!”
“Oh, what a wonderful day this is going to be!” Chatta Max exclaimed, packing his tiny backpack once again. “I can’t wait to see Captain Milky Way and taste space ice cream!”
As Chatta Max prepared for his journey, he felt his energy growing stronger and stronger. It was like having bubbles of happiness floating around in his tummy, making him want to laugh and dance and chat even more than usual.
“When I feel this way, my whole body feels full of energy!” Chatta Max said as he bounced around his little home. “This feeling makes me want to move and talk and explore!”
Chatta Max climbed up through the bathtub drain and launched himself into the sky. As he flew higher and higher toward space, something magical began to happen. His tiny green body started to stretch and wiggle until he transformed into a small, wiggly worm!
“Wow! I’m a space worm!” Chatta Max laughed, still feeling incredibly happy. “This is amazing! This feeling makes everything seem like an adventure!”
As Space Worm Chatta Max flew through the atmosphere, he felt his happiness bubbling over. The stars looked so bright, and space felt so big and full of possibilities. Just as he reached the outer layers of the atmosphere, another transformation began.
FLASH! Suddenly, Chatta Max wasn’t a worm anymore. He had transformed into a friendly green alien wearing the coolest race helmet covered with twinkling stars!
“I’m an alien pilot!” Chatta Max cheered, now sitting in his very own UFO spaceship. “And look at my super cool helmet! I feel like I could burst with joy!”
The UFO was painted with the logo of his favorite chocolate brand, and it flew faster than anything Chatta Max had ever experienced. As he zoomed through space in his chocolate-sponsored racing ship, Chatta Max felt pure happiness.
“This is the best feeling!” he called out as he flew past asteroids and shooting stars. “It makes me feel brave and happy and ready for anything!”
As Chatta Max flew deeper into space, he spotted something incredible. There was Chompy the Dinosaur, the same friend who had backpacked all the way to Mexico, now floating through space and diving into a giant infinity pool!
“Chompy!” Chatta Max called out excitedly. “What are you doing out here?”
“Chatta Max!” Chompy replied happily, splashing in the floating water that drifted around like sparkling jewels. “I’m staying at this amazing space hotel! The pools here have no gravity, so the water floats everywhere!”
“That looks so cool!” Chatta Max said, his happiness growing even more. “I’m so glad to see you here! Would you like to come with me to visit Captain Milky Way’s dairy farm?”
“I’d love to!” Chompy said, climbing out of the floating pool. “I’m feeling happy and ready for adventure too now!”
Chatta Max used his UFO to pick up Chompy, and together they flew toward the coordinates Captain Milky Way had given them. As they traveled through space, Chatta Max noticed that sharing his joy with a friend made the feeling even better.
“You know what, Chompy?” Chatta Max said. “Feeling this happy is even more fun when you have someone to share it with!”
“I agree!” Chompy replied. “Your happiness is making me feel joyful too!”
Soon, they could see the most amazing sight ahead of them. Captain Milky Way’s dairy farm was like nothing they had ever seen before. It was a huge space station shaped like a giant ice cream cone, floating among the stars with colorful lights twinkling all around it.
“Welcome to the Milky Way Ice Cream Space Farm!” Captain Milky Way called out as she flew up to meet them in her own spaceship. “I’m so happy to see you both!”
“We’re happy to be here too!” Chatta Max and Chompy said together.
Captain Milky Way led them to a special docking area where they put on space suits designed just for visiting the ice cream farm. The suits were white with colorful sprinkles painted all over them.
“I feel so energized I can barely contain myself!” Chatta Max said as they walked through the airlock into the farm. “My heart is beating fast, and I can’t stop smiling!”
Inside the space farm, Chatta Max and Chompy gasped with wonder. There were ice cream making machines floating in zero gravity, and cows wearing astronaut helmets grazing on special space grass that grew in floating gardens.
“This is where we make ice cream flavors that you can’t find anywhere else in the universe,” Captain Milky Way explained proudly. “We have flavors that taste like shooting stars, nebula swirl, and even cosmic chocolate!”
“Cosmic chocolate!” Chatta Max exclaimed, bouncing with joy. “That sounds perfect! I’m sponsored by a chocolate company!”
Captain Milky Way scooped up bowls of different flavors for her guests to try. There was rainbow asteroid ice cream that changed colors as you ate it, meteor mint that sparkled on your tongue, and the special cosmic chocolate that tasted like the best chocolate in the galaxy mixed with stardust.
“This is incredible!” Chompy said as he tried the nebula swirl. “I’ve never tasted anything like this!”
“The cosmic chocolate is my new favorite flavor!” Chatta Max said, taking another spoonful. “I feel so happy and grateful that I got to try this amazing ice cream!”
As they sat together in the space farm, floating gently while they ate their ice cream, Chatta Max reflected on his wonderful day.
“You know what I learned about feeling excited today?” Chatta Max said. “Excitement is a wonderful feeling that makes everything seem more fun and adventurous. When I felt excited about visiting Captain Milky Way, it gave me the energy to transform and fly all the way to space!”
“And I learned that this feeling can spread to others,” Chompy added. “When you shared your excitement with me, it made me feel the same way!”
Captain Milky Way nodded wisely. “Excitement is one of the best emotions because it helps us try new things and have amazing adventures. When we feel excited, we’re more willing to explore and discover wonderful surprises.”
“I also learned that sharing excitement with friends makes it even better,” Chatta Max continued. “When I told Chompy about my adventure, and when we explored the space farm together, the excitement felt bigger and more fun!”
As they finished their space ice cream, Chatta Max felt a different kind of happiness settling in his heart. It was still excitement, but now it was mixed with contentment and gratitude.
“I feel excited and grateful at the same time,” Chatta Max observed. “Excited about all the amazing things I experienced today, and grateful that I got to share them with such wonderful friends.”
“That’s a perfect way to feel,” Captain Milky Way said with a smile. “Excitement helped you start this adventure, and now you have beautiful memories that will make you feel happy whenever you think about them.”
Soon it was time for Chatta Max and Chompy to head home. They said goodbye to Captain Milky Way and promised to visit again soon. As they flew back through space in the chocolate-sponsored UFO, Chatta Max felt his energy transforming into peaceful satisfaction.
“Today I learned so much about excitement,” Chatta Max said as they traveled back toward Earth. “I learned that excitement is the feeling you get when you’re looking forward to something wonderful. It makes your body feel full of energy and your mind feel ready for adventure.”
“I learned that excitement can help you be brave,” Chompy added. “When I felt excited about joining your adventure, I wasn’t scared to try something new.”
“And I learned that excitement is even better when you share it with friends,” Chatta Max continued. “When we got excited together, it made the whole experience more fun and meaningful.”
As they approached Earth, Chatta Max began to transform back into his regular tiny green self. He thanked Chompy for joining his adventure and flew back down to his cozy home under Oni Pepperoni’s bathtub.
Sitting on his giant couch, Chatta Max felt wonderfully tired and happy. His feelings had carried him on an amazing journey, and now he felt peaceful and content.
“Excitement is such a special feeling,” Chatta Max said to himself as he settled down for a nap. “It helps us discover new places, try new things, and make wonderful memories with friends. And the best part is, there’s always something new to feel excited about!”
As Chatta Max drifted off to sleep, he dreamed about cosmic chocolate ice cream, floating pools in space, and all the exciting adventures still waiting for him in the future. And as he dreamed, a little smile stayed on his face, because he knew that tomorrow would bring new reasons to feel excited all over again.
