Zippy the bunny was no ordinary musician. He played a glowing, bouncy drum that floated in the air and made sounds like ZING and BOING. Zippy lived on Starlight Station, a space station shaped like a giant spinning star, where animals from all over the galaxy came to play and explore.
One day, Zippy noticed something strange. The station’s clocks were spinning backward! ‘Oh no!’ he said. ‘Time is broken!’
Zippy hopped to the control room, where his best friend, Luma the light-up lizard, was tapping furiously on a glowing screen. ‘Everything is out of order!’ Luma said. ‘The time puzzle is broken, and we need to fix it before the station stops spinning!’
Zippy thought for a moment, then grinned. ‘Maybe my drum can help!’ He started to play a fast, bouncy beat: BOING-ZING-BOOM. The air around him shimmered, and the station’s clocks began to tick forward, then backward, then forward again.
Surprisingly, a group of tiny, glowing space turtles appeared, dancing to the music. ‘We’re the Time Turtles!’ one said. ‘We got stuck in a time loop. Can you help us?’
Zippy played a slower, steady rhythm: THUD-THUD-ZING. The turtles began to glow brighter, and the clocks on the station all clicked into place. ‘Thank you!’ the turtles cheered before floating away in a little glowing parade.
Starlight Station was saved, and Zippy’s bouncy beat became the station’s new theme song. From then on, every time the clocks acted up, Zippy played his drum—BOING-ZING-BOOM—and everyone danced the time puzzle away.
