Pip and Pop were two little aliens from Planet Snuggles, a planet made entirely of fluffy clouds and giant, sparkly jellybeans. They had purple skin, three eyes each, and antennae that wiggled when they were excited.
One night, their spaceship, which looked like a giant, pink lollipop, zoomed past Earth. 'Look, Pop!' Pip squeaked, pointing at the twinkling lights below. 'Let's visit!',
Pop, who was a bit more cautious, said, 'But Captain Zorp said we must follow the space rules. We can't land without permission!' Pip, always eager for adventure, bounced on his seat. 'But it looks so fun down there!'
They peeked through the spaceship window. They saw children getting ready for bed. One was brushing their teeth, another was reading a book, and a third was cuddling a stuffed animal. It all looked very cozy.
Pip and Pop decided to whisper a message to a kind-looking girl named Lily. They used their special alien communicator, a small, glowing crystal. They asked if they could watch her bedtime routine. Lily, who loved learning about other planets, happily agreed.
Lily showed Pip and Pop her bedtime routine. She brushed her teeth, put on her pajamas, read a story, and snuggled her teddy bear. Pip and Pop were fascinated! They had never seen anything like it. They learned that having a routine was fun and helped people feel safe and sleepy.
Pip and Pop even tried brushing their three teeth each with Lily's special alien-friendly toothbrush (it glowed in the dark!). It was silly, but fun. They learned that being kind and following rules – even space rules – made everything more enjoyable.
As Lily drifted off to sleep, Pip and Pop whispered their goodbyes. They zoomed back to Planet Snuggles, their antennae wiggling with excitement. They couldn't wait to tell Captain Zorp all about Earth bedtime routines.
That night, on Planet Snuggles, Pip and Pop followed their own bedtime routine for the first time, brushing their three teeth and snuggling their fluffy cloud blankets. They knew that even aliens need a good night's sleep, and that being kind and following rules makes everything better, even on a planet made of jellybeans and clouds!
