Zip:          Not Tripp! . .  Zip.

 

Tripp:        Zip it Zip, I am Tripp.

 

Zip:          Well don’t give me lip Tripp. . . . I am Zip!

 

Tripp:        This isn’t working out Zip.

 

Zip:          You are right on that Tripp. We need to work on working together.

 

Tripp:        I am all for that Zip, working together will create better friends.

 

Zip:          Creating you say Tripp?

 

Tripp:        Yes Zip, creating.

 

Zip:          Creating. . . . . Hmmmm . . . . . And just what do you mean by creating Tripp?

 

Tripp:        Create. . .  Creating means building, forming, making . . . Zip.

 

Zip:          I think I understand Tripp. . . Kinda like creating a curl in the middle of your forehead . . or creating rosy cheeks.

 

Tripp:        Well . .  I like gotta say Zip I for sure never did think of curls in the middle of your forehead or even rosy cheeks when I mentioned creating.

 

Zip:          Never thought of curls in the middle of your forehead or even rosy cheeks when you mentioned creating huh Tripp?

 

Tripp:        Nope Zip, I can for sure say I never even one time thought of curls or rosy cheeks. . . Never once. . . . I more thought about creating a house . .  or maybe a swing in the backyard. . .  But zero curls or rosy cheeks. . .  Sorry to disappoint Zip.

 

Zip:          Hey no problem Tripp. . .  It’s all good . ..  Guess when I think of creating I just naturally think of mess.

 

Tripp:        Mess Zip?

 

Zip:          Yes, mess Tripp. . .

 

Tripp:        Wanna give me some idea of why you think of mess when you think of creating, Zip?

 

Zip:          I shall do that Tripp. . . See when I am with my friends playing in my living room my Mom will often say . . “Don’t go and create a mess Zip!”

 

Tripp:        I can flat out hear your mom say that Zip.

 

Zip, looks around:
Where? . . Where is my Mom? . . . Mom! . . . Are you here Mom?

 

Tripp:        No your mom isn’t here Zip. . .  I just said I could hear your mom say . . .

 

Zip:          Hold on Tripp. . . Whatever are you saying? . . . First you say my Mom isn’t here, then you say you can hear her here. . . . Now how can she not be here if you hear her talking here when you have said here that you hear her here?

 

Tripp:        I had trouble hear . . . ing you Zip.

 

Zip, looks around:
Looks like someone has been creating here Tripp.

 

Tripp, confused:
Creating . . . Creating what . . . exactly Zip?

 

Zip, firmly:    Creating Tripp! . . . I said . .  creating Tripp! . . Someone . . is . .  creating a mess, Tripp!

 

Tripp, confused:
Creating a mess Zip?

 

Zip:          Please Tripp . . Open your eyes Tripp! . . (points to spaceship) . . Over there Tripp!

 

Tripp:        Oh that Zip. . . That is a spaceship Zip.

 

Zip, confused:  A spaceship zip, . . Tripp? . . Whatever is a spaceship zip, I ask you Tripp?

 

Tripp:        No, Zip spaceship.

 

Zip:          OK this is worse and getting worser Tripp. . . So from what you tell me, Tripp, we have a spaceship zip, and a zip spaceship Tripp. . . Am I right Tripp?

 

Tripp, frustrated:
No, a spaceship Zip! . . Listen . . Zip, spaceship!

 

Zip:          I’m gonna walk away from that Tripp, on account of it’s too painful not to.

 

Tripp, looks at spaceship:
That’s gonna be some spaceship when it’s build, isn’t it Zip

 

Zip:          You mean that mess is gonna be a spaceship, Tripp?

 

Tripp:        We are creating a spaceship.  . . . And, Zip, we are going to the moon.

 

Zip:          To the moon you say Tripp.

 

Tripp:        Yes Zip, to the moon. We are creating a spaceship, we will put in all the equipment, then it is . . .  zoom, zoom, Zip! . .  Just you listen!

A fun thing through and through
And if you are with us
You’ll have a great time too!

Zip:          Wow Tripp, so that means like even I can blast off to the moon?

 

Tripp:        Sure can Zip . . .  just as soon as we are done creating the spaceship.

 

Zip:          This here creating thing is really something Tripp.

 

Tripp:        Surely is Zip . . and it all started way back at the beginning of time.
