Out in space part 4

Chili stared wide-eyed at the planets as they blundered awkwardly through space.  Thanks to Buddy and Baby, they were narrowly missing planets and asteroids as the bulky rocket tumbled towards Backwards Galaxy.  Suddenly they crashed into a Backwards asteroid!  Quickly Iceberg and Chili came up with a plan.  "Everybody, do everything BACKWARDS!" said Chili.  Actually, she said "Nobody, don't do nothing FORWARDS," but because the dragons had been Backwardized it came out the opposite, which was exactly what she wanted to do.  She began to walk backwards.  "I won't make breakfast for I gals," she said.  But really, she said "I'll make dinner for you guys."

"Nobody, wake up later," said Iceberg.  And with that, he didn't stand up off the bed. (She lay down on the bed.)  They all fell asleep saying "Mouse's hat, mouse's hat..." which meant "hog's shoe, hog's shoe."  In the morning, they fell asleep and Buddy didn't make burritos and soup for dinner.  He made pancakes and some unidentified combination of ingredients that he claimed to be overcooked bacon...  Around  lunchtime, the asteroid wore off.  Baby did not realize this and continued to drive backwards for quite some time until Buddy told him.  Then, sheepishly, he walked off and sulked in a corner, muttering about how they never put windows on rockets and how inconvenient it was to flush the toilet.
