Previous Chapter / Next Chapter



Delaney Tesla was a woman on a mission.  She believed her granddad, that it was her destiny to fulfill her great-grandmother's dream of one of the Tesla's becoming a space explorer, and she worked every day on her science skills.





After she finished her homework, she was either on the nursery porch working on chemistry, or in the small observatory with her granddad, charting the stars.

Take Me to the Moon 3.2: Cassandra's Wedding (or, Another Day with the Evil Snob)

Previous Chapter / Next Chapter



It was the day before Cassandra's wedding, and the bride was not getting her nails done, or having a bachelor party.  She was hunting down an elusive tomato plant to add a cutting to her garden.  Finally, late in the afternoon, after searching every neighborhood in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs, she found a community garden she hadn't noticed before in the low cost area of Oasis Springs.  In the midst of the dust-blown landscape, she finally got her cutting, and a few tomatoes.




Cassandra went home with her treasure and immediately planted one tomato, and grafted one cutting.  Then she tenderly checked each of her plants, which she had been away from since dawn.    Her fiance, Cedric, who had gotten really sad in her absence, came out to eat his supper and watch her garden.
