Why Tim
Tim, Chubbs, Jill, and Mary all live in outerspace. They are English speaking. One morning all of them were paged into the meeting room by Tim to talk about a problem. The problem was a clogged toilet. Everyone knew it was Chubbs, only he could to such a thing. Chubbs and Jill, showed up at the meeting first. Mary came a few seconds late, She was making sure everyone was out of the rooms and in the meeting room. So now they waited and waited for Tim, but he just wouldn’t show .
“Guys where is Tim?” Asked Jil
“If I knew I would tell you,” said Mary, Mary was a sassy blonde chick. She talked all the time. It drove everyone nuts!
“Hey you two,” Said Chubbs “Let’s not do this again, Remember what happened last time?”
Jil seemed quite distant this morning. She wasn’t being her normal self.
“So let’s get to the point I guess” said Chubbs “Tim was gonna talk about a clogged toilet.”
“I’m pretty sure that puts a fritz in the air lock system!” said Jil
“Oh darn,” said Mary
I don’t know if I actually did make a fritz but…
“FLIBITYGIBBET!!!” Screamed Chubbs “I think I found Tim”
Tim was out of the station with his suit and his helmet but there was no way to get to him. Tim was the smartest one of the bunch. He everyone knew he would not jump out into outer space without his air tank.
Quickly Mary responds, “Oh my gosh, what are we going to do! How long has he been out there?”
“Well the only exit is out the back, so I guess about 5 minutes,” Chubbs responded.
“Guys—there isn’t any way we can get to him,”
Slowly they watched Tim float away. Finally he passed, his body bloated, skin blue, it was hard for the team to watch. At this point NASA is watching and has called all of the specialists and detectives to try and figure it out. One of the detectives looked at the video footage. It showed Tim taking his air pack off, and once he took it off the door cracked open. Then the footage when oddly cut off. That left him to only on conspiracy. One of the crew members did it. Here are the suspects. Jill- White, Top grades at school, Long black hair, Doesn’t care what people think, has a great sense of humour, likes Mexican food. Mary- Asain- Also top grades in school, Keeps to herself when she’s tired, but otherwise extremely energetic, gets over the top embarrassed when people talk about her, Tends to say ya see when she’s frightened or nervous, Tells good jokes, too blonde, likes cheese, and burgers. Chubbs- kind of a slacker, likes to watch vines, watch movies, and smell rocks, he shaves his head and has a beard that is tied up in a ponytail until they come back down to earth.

“Good morning team ASAYT, We are currently sending up an investigation team to do a few tests and interrogations. We know it was one of you, so please be honest and give yourselves up, we will figure you out. We will not leave until the job is done, Thank you Nasa,” that’s what the message from Nasa.

Two days later the team from Nasa arrived from the international space station.
“Hello you three, so do any of you want to come clean right away this’ll be quite easy for all of us”
Nobody says anything.
“Oh and by the way, my name is Wolfgang, and don’t mess with me,if ya don’t mind I’m gonna look around a bit, do you mind?
“Well actually…” said Chubbs
“Oh I didn’t actually care,” said Wolfgang. So Wolfgang walked over to where the door is, and examined, “Wow look at that a piece of black hair on the video camera, interesting” whispered Wolfgang. He started to walk to the lab to do some testing on the hair. The hair was indeed Jil’s hair, but with a little something else on it a little section of the hair had ketchup on it.
“Ok I need to take this over to the crew,” said Wolfgang. After he got to the room he asked if anyone wanted a burger and fries”
“Oh me!” said Mary
“Thanks that’s all I needed,” said Wolfgang “Mary can you come talk to me please,”
“Me? Pffft! Why-ah-me? Ya see, I didn’t do it,” Said Mary
“Just friendly curiosity ma’am,”
“Sir Curiosity has killed more than one cat” said Mary “But if ya say so.”
Wolfgang knew it was Mary as soon as he saw the hair on the camera. Wolf took Mary into the the research room and showed her the piece of hair.
“Explain this, would ya,” Said Wolf
“Well you see,” said Mary
“Look at me when you speak would you miss?” Snapped Wolf
“Gosh sorry, got any manners there mister?” Mary responded sharply, “So what do you want?”
“I want you to tell me the truth… Why did you do it?” Remarked Wolf smartly.
“He… ah- i mean nothing- ahhh FINE I did it happy?”
“There we go now spill the beans,” said Wolf
“(sniffles) Well, ya see, it was the morning ya see, and I was walking to the bathroom, ya see, and Tim got up and was waiting outside while I was in there ya see, and I took a crap ya see, and ya get the point. I hate it when people know I’m poopin’, and especially when I plug it, So I quick ran out and went back to bed, ya see, I was awoken to his voice over the intercom saying, ’excuse me crew mates I would like to talk to you in the meeting room to talk about problem’ I just knew by the way he said it he was talking about me, so after lunch, out of pure anger, I decided to push him back out of the door once he got done with his repairs and took his air jacket off, ya see, and then I ran into Jil’s room and took a piece of her hair to cover myself up” explained Mary
“Ok good keep it going,” Said Wolf
“I always hated Tim. Even in preschool. You don’t even know how good it felt to throw him out that door! My plan was foolproof. And i would have gotten away with it if they didn’t call NASA,”
“Well here’s the good news you can come back down to Earth with me, The bad news… you’re going away for a long time,” snarled Wolf, “My craft is waiting for us outside, We better go in peace, go say bye to your crew and pack your stuff,”
Mary listened and headed to the crew, “guys I know your thoughts, just let me leave in silence please, Bye, love you guys,” Softly said Mary, and Wolfgang took her by the hand and brought her to the ship. That turned into a beautiful relationship, so Wolfgang didn’t take her to jail and they went off the grid. But sadly, soon after they settled on top of a mountain the top exploded revealing it was a volcano.
The End
