Asteroid Hunters Chapter 2

The search for Bluenomium

Chapter 2

Recap: in the last story, the blue whale, the green asteroid, the rock, and the blue whale clone were at a bar brainstorming how to find Bluenomium to help get Earth blue.

Then the original blue whale said, “But what about another round of drinks?”

Everyone agreed and the bartender said, “I couldn’t help but overhearing about you saying that you’re on the lookout for Bluenomium. But look, who cares about Earth anyway? It’s gray for a reason, so just let Earth enjoy its grayness, right? That will make things way easier for you, right?”

The blue whale said, “Sure, to be honest, I don’t even care personally but what about this story? Something needs to happen in it, right? What will happen to us, if we just give up already in the beginning of the second series of it? How will that look for the New Wei substack? The author was already planning like 15 series of stories!!! The author knows that writing is dumb, and a waste of time in a world where nothing matters, but what should the author do??”

The copy of the blue whale was listening and said, “Please, I’m the copy of you and I’m the one who is exponentially saturated with so much more sadness paricles, but anyway, I feel like we should split up and try to find Bluenomium because we can’t spend all the time in this bar.”

The bartender said, “Since you made it out here in space, you should look around especially since in space there are so many more colors than on Earth. Also, maybe if Bluenomium is too hard to find, why not start collecting blue things because the more blue things you find, the more blue gravity you’ll generate and the Bluenomium will be more likely to find its way to you! Let me start with a blue raspberry drink here on the house!”

The blue whale drank the blue raspberry drink, and then had to go to the bathroom. On the line to the bathroom, there was a mime who was acting out being stuck in a small box. The blue whale said, “I know you can’t talk to me since you’re a mime, but I feel like we’re all stuck inside a small box, you know?”

Then the mime went into the bathroom stall and it was really quiet in the stall, and the blue whale wondered if the mime was allowed to flush because flushing is usually pretty loud. Then the mime came out of the stall. The blue whale decided to not to use the stall after but instead decided on the urinal. Then the copy of the blue whale came in and said, “The mime came in earlier but I heard the mime is just a copy of the original like me.”

The blue whale said, “I see, so maybe that’s why this mime is so sad.”

The copy of the blue whale said, “I think so.”

Then they both went back to their table where the asteroid and the rock were still sitting. The rock was reading a book about the history of math, while the green asteroid was just contemplating the artworks on the wall. Then the original mime came over to their table. The original mime wrote down on a napkin, “I am the original mime, my copy mime was in the bathroom earlier.”

The blue whale said, “I know.”

The mime then wrote down, “I also have a copy of a copy of a copy of me, and because of the sadness paricles, this mime is bright blue!”

The blue whale said, “That’s amazing!”

The copy of the blue whale said, “I don’t know if it’s ethical to meet this mime, it must feel so much unbearable sadness.”

The blue whale said, “But think about the blue factor, the Bluenomium will be attracted to the blueness of this blue mime, and it will be easier to find it! What do you think, green asteroid and rock?”

The rock said, “I think the blue mime might be lost in the world, so maybe this mission might help the mime, and even though there are a lot of sadness paricles, maybe we can invent a fan to make the the sadness paricles fly away to let the mime feel better.”

The asteroid said, “I know I’m just a green asteroid, but I was even thinking, maybe we can use the excess sadness paricles of the blue mime to power our spaceship, the Blue Rivian truck, instead of using electricity, which is limited, since the power of sadness is unlimited!”

So they decided to find the blue mime, and they went back outside into their spaceship, the Blue Rivian truck (sorry, but I lost a lot of money in Rivian stock so that’s why I’m trying to promote the company here in this story, but this story is so bad, that Rivian may go bankrupt soon!).

The asteroid said, “You know something, I don’t really need to be in the spaceship because I can just fly on my own and stuff!”

The rock was thinking about joining the asteroid and fly around because in space, the rock would be weightless, but the rock decided to stay in the spaceship because it was comfortable in the Blue Rivian Truck, then they saw the blue mime floating in space, and the blue whale asked, “Hi, we’re looking for Bluenomium, would you like to come with us to find it?”

The blue mime nodded its head no, but the blue mime had a sister so they went back in the van to find the sister! The clone of the blue whale said, “As the clone I feel a lot of sadness, so I might be helpful to find the sister!”

The blue whale said, “Before we go someplace, let’s go shopping at the mall.”

So they went to the shopping mall to buy blue things at the Blue Mart to help them obtain the Blunomium! The blue whale bought a blue t-shirt that said, “Earth is not my planet, so it’s not my problem.” The rock bought some blue googly eyes to see better. The asteroid bought a blue basketball to play basketball in the park.

Then they decided to go to the park to play basketball, it was the blue whale, the blue whale clone, the asteroid, and the rock, however, to play full court, they needed one more player, since full court game involved 5 on 5, and preferably they would get a player who had actual hands! That’s when they saw the blue sister mime, she was the manager of the Blue Mart store and was going to give them a coupon for 10% back for their next purchase, but the blue whale said, “Can you join our basketball team? If we win this game, then we can win a train ticket to explore another dimension but if we lose, then we have to wash the dishes in the diner for a month!”

End of Chapter 2, stay tuned for the next story! Will they win the basketball game? And does it even matter? Does anything matter?
