The Blueberry Era

Waka Waka the bug was on Mars when he found a little space pod. He managed to get inside and it had rocket boosters that blasted him to Earth.

Waka Waka was unsure at first if it was safe to go inside the space pod, but luckily there was special protections like suits to make sure he wouldn’t burn up in the atmosphere.

Waka Waka crash landed into the River Liffey in Dublin. He saw a piranha and jumped in fear! He pressed a button and ejected out of the space pod.

Cheerio asked Waka Waka to help her escape from the rope that the tall figures tied around her neck.

Cheerio made a deal. She said, “If you help me escape, I’ll help you get a blueberry pie.”

Waka Waka helped Cheerio escape and they made their way to the blueberry pie shop.
