Roxy ran into an empty room.
A moment later she was Rocket Girl!
Sometimes Roxy felt bad that her friends didn't know she was actually Rocket Girl.
But Roxy had decided to tell her secret only to Mayor Bloom and Principal Penn.
That way she could still have a normal life.
Well, sort of normal.
How many eight-year-olds had to save the world every day?
But now was not the time to worry about that.
Rocket Girl had a job to do!
Roxy ran down the hall and out the front door of the school.
"Okay," she said.
"It's time to figure out what landed at Mr. Mann's farm."
Then Roxy blasted into the air.
"Look out the window!" cried Mara.
"Rocket Girl!" said Terrell.
Soon Roxy was at Mr. Mann's farm.
She looked around.
Some of the corn had been cut down.
Roxy didn't see the spaceship though.
Just then something moved in the cornfield.
A figure stepped toward her.
"Oh no!" Roxy laughed. "It's an alien detective!"
"This is no time for making jokes," said Detective Smith with a frown.
Detective Smith was Metro City's head detective.
He was a very serious man.
He never joked.
"Fine," said Roxy. "So what happened here?
Where's the spaceship?"
"I don't know," said Detective Smith.
"I looked all over for it.
I didn't see it anywhere."
"Did Mr. Mann see where it went?" asked Roxy.
"No," said Detective Smith.
"He got scared and ran into his house.
He told me he hid under his bed.
When he came back out, the spaceship was gone.
So was the corn."
"Why would the aliens take the corn?" Roxy wondered.
She looked around.
She saw a tree with a broken branch and flew over to it.
"It looks like something crashed into this tree," thought Roxy.
Nearby, a fence was also broken.
Roxy looked from the tree to the fence.
Then she looked past the fence.
She could see a trail of damaged trees.
"I bet the spaceship did that," thought Roxy.
"But why didn't the spaceship fly over all the trees?
And where did the spaceship go?"
Roxy flew up high to get a better view.
The trail led straight toward . . .
Roxy gulped.
"Uh-oh! I know exactly where the spaceship went.
It's headed toward downtown Metro City!"
