Stobey sees Bingbang Babbaloo's eye blink at her. She knows he heard.
The black rock disappears into the spaceship. With a deep roar, the
spaceship blasts away, heading for planet Boomboom near the sun
Blooper with the treasure for King Boogie-woogie Boomer.

Our friends leave the Stranger's House and head for the parking block.
Arriving, they see that the space liner is signaling Suzanne and Roger to
return. The two Earthlings hug Stobey and Slutter, and Chug-a-lug and
Sir Lumpalot. They rub Kick-pow's nose and board the flitter.
The flitter rises in a long curve toward the space liner and disappears
through an open panel. The panel closes and the huge ship's powerful
motors glow and hum. The spacer rises up and away.
Stobey and Slutter hug Chug-a-lug and Sir Lumpalot and also rub Kick-
pow's nose. It is time for them to return home. They board Coconut
and Banana and blast into space. Chug-a-lug, Sir Lumpalot and Kick-
Pow watch the two tiny spaceships until they disappear into the
background of stars.
'Hope they come back soon,' says Chug-a-lug, the Hooten-Nanny, as he,
Sir Lumpalot the Knight and Kick-Pow the Unicorn head back through
the gate into Super-Rock Playground.
