Well, here they go. But backstory was important for context.

"... I've traveled the world with my Uncle Scrooge and my twin brother Donald, searching for adventure. I've done it since I was a little girl - and when I got pregnant, I was excited at the thought of my kids doing the same. But at that time, it felt like we'd been everywhere and done everything... so I wanted to give my kids more. I wanted to give them the stars."

Ah, wait, she needed to consider who (what) she was talking to. "In my world, space travel is still brand new. We barely know anything about what's out there."

Now she could return to the grief. "But when I explained my ideas to my family, right about the time I laid my eggs, Donald said I was being irresponsible. That since I was now a mom, I needed to think about my children and stop being so reckless and impulsive. I didn't listen to him because I thought I knew better... my Uncle pretended not to take sides, but I found out he was building a rocket-ship in surprise, for me."

A deep, big sigh. "... So I stole it for a test drive."
