finally approached the edge of town, “This is the end of the line. I’ll be back in a few months. We’ll talk more then.”
“Can I be an officer of the Rocket Patrol one day?” Emma asked.
Roderick wouldn’t recommend this job to just anyone but he could tell there was courage behind those eyes. “Normally I would say no, but after seeing you around those Saber lions, I can see you have what it takes to possibly be one of us.”
“You really think so?” Emma said with a wide grin.
“You have to do well in school and study hard for the entrance exams,” Roderick reminded her, “But if you work hard, I think you have a good chance.”
Emma walked up and gave Roderick a soft hug, “Thanks again for your help, Commander.”
“I was happy to help,” Roderick said, smiling, “Take care and try to stay away from the wild animals out there, okay?”
Emma nodded. She then stood there and watched as the Commander of the Rocket Patrol walked out of town and down the path until he was out of sight. Emma was born with a new energy. She would become a member of the patrol one day and show everyone that she was strong and capable of doing anything any man in the galaxy could. She ran home to tell her mother what Roderick said about becoming a part of the Patrol. Her future had never looked so bright as it did that day.
