Stars Are Us, A Saturday Centus

Jenny Matlock

The Saturday Centus challenges us to write a piece within 100 words, based on a prompt. I encourage you to jump aboard. Just click on the graphic above. It's great practice, and I've met wonderful peers this way. Plus, Jenny's our favorite teacher. I'm continuing the sci-fi series, with apologies to anyone who doesn't appreciate some Spock spoofing. This is a sequel to my last centus right here. The prompt is bolded. Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stars Are Us
 
Prepared for Spock's naivete, Natashialovarita steps sideways towards the vacuous Stars Are Us screen. She extends her right index finger and presses the Power button.
 
With bills still striking him, Spock now stands upright. He crosses his arms and eyes the screen with a peculiarly curious expression. 
 
A regal red velvet curtain is pictured, as the voice of James Earl Jones overtakes the Sirius Chamber.
 
"Know your constellation," Jones instructs. "This educational video is for little dippers and beyond."
 
The curtain parts to reveal a young Spock and Natashialovarita engaged in Junior Explorer.

  5. That peculiarly curious expression is so Spock. I assume he was raising one of his eyebrows.

  9. Alex, thanks. Is James Earl Jones Spock's father? Stay tuned. xo

    Judie, I adore you too. Thank you. =o>

    Pat, thanks. His voice is so powerful. Maybe they should've cast him as God instead of George Burns. xo

    GB, without a doubt. Thank you. [~;

    June, me too. Thanks! Jenny, please don't go too weird with the prompts. Please! xo

    Unknown, that's great. You couldn't have a more trustworthy, authoritative narrator. That's smart casting on your part. =o)

    Nonna, oh yeah, I forgot about the heavy breathing. Thank you. xo

  13. Yay! As Mr. Sheen would say, "Winner!" I could almost feel Spock's blazing-hot, green-blooded Vulcan lust bubbling to the surface. Such control he has! LOL! Excellent job once again, Robyn!

  18. Once again, you nailed the prompt and kept your story going. James Earl Jones? Genius! Junior Explorer? Rolling on the floor laughing. Bravo!

  19. Ca88, thanks. I've almost changed my own mind too. One can get really weird with sci-fi, and it still works. I like that. xo

    Gigi, thanks. Love ya! ;0>

    Tgo, nice description of Spock's inner life. Thanks. xo

    Anna, thank you. I'll be by soon. {-;

    jfb, that's a good summary of what I'm shooting for. Thanks. xo

    Koby, I'm glad it makes you think of your brother. That's sweet. =op

    Sue, there's lots of fear and gulping going on here. I keep my fingers crossed that I can actually work with the next prompt - week after week. Thanks. xo

    Kat, I suppose I'm working my own childhood fantasies into this one. I never did play Junior Explorer. LOL. Thank you. {-;

    Tracy, thank you. So glad you enjoyed. xo

  27. Seems older Spock hasn't learned much from his younger explorations....poor Asteroid girl...how long will she have to wait for her "O"??

  28. OK. I'm having a hard time writing this comment after reading Rekha's. funny, funny comments going on here today!

    I love the idea of JEJ's voice over. It played in my head right along with your perfectly crafted words. That 'rita is a busy little thing.

    I can't wait to get my chicken one written and see if you managed to continue this!
