Astronaut Doctor Ella and the case of the Banana Ear

Starring Ella

At the Magical Astronaut Academy, Doctor Ella is trained to care for astronauts in the strange, sparkling world of outer space, and she is eager to prove she can handle any emergency. When an alarm sends her racing to Saturn, she finds Astronaut Biff floating upside down with bananas stuck in both ears, and she bravely uses her glowing tweezers to remove them so he can hear again. After the rescue, Biff thanks her by guiding her to a hidden purple planet with crystal mountains, singing trees, and golden bananas growing on its branches. Back at the academy, Professor Whiz rewards Ella for being careful and courageous, and Ella stands ready for whatever mystery comes next.

"Always check twice before you zoom, Doctor!" called Professor Whiz as she looped through the air. Ella tapped her silver stethoscope against her palm. "I'm ready for anything in outer space!" she declared, as her boots wobbled on the academy's floating floor.

Ella zipped up her jam-sticky, mint-green rocket bag with a sharp click! High above the clouds, the Magical Astronaut Academy shimmered like a silver lantern. There, Ella learned to mix glowing moon medicine, repair rocket scratches, and listen to heartbeats in zero gravity.

Suddenly, the emergency alarm chirped three times. Beep! Beep! Beep! Ella raced to the Rainbow Rocket and blasted toward Saturn, spotting a tiny astronaut tumbling backward near a singing purple tree.

Ella called through her radio. "Hello! Can you hear me?" But the astronaut only floated upside down and waved his arms. Ella opened her rocket bag, pulled out her glowing medical tweezers, and bravely floated through the hatch.

Ella peered through the astronaut’s helmet and examined his ears. “Well, that certainly isn’t a space bug!” she gasped. Stuck snugly inside one ear was a tiny, bright-yellow banana. Then Ella checked the other ear. There was another banana inside that one!

Ella carefully reached in with her glowing tweezers. Pop! Out came the first banana. Pop! Out came the second. The astronaut blinked, shook his head, and burst out laughing. “I can hear the stars twinkling again!” cried Astronaut Biff.

To thank her, Astronaut Biff guided Ella to a secret purple planet hidden behind a swirling cloud of stardust. Crystal mountains sparkled like glass, and tiny purple trees sang cheerful songs while growing golden bananas from their branches. Ella had never seen anything so wonderfully strange.

Back at the academy, Professor Whiz pinned a glittering gold star onto Ella’s jam-sticky, mint-green rocket bag. “You checked twice, stayed brave, and solved the mystery,” she said proudly. Ella smiled and tapped her bag. Somewhere in the galaxy, another alarm began to beep and Doctor Ella was ready to zoom.
