Back in the day, before Jazz had to consider such things as politics, siblings and uppercuts, Jazz had a lot of adventures. Most of these adventures centered around saving princesses, stopping evil overlords, and eating carrots. This adventure, however, involved nothing of the sort.

Under the sparrow / where the planets cross / stands an arrow / which points at the moss... This was a riddle or an oracle or a viral ad that had been circling the webernet for a couple of hours now, and Jazz had nothing better to do, so he decided to take a whack at it. "Where the planets cross.." he pondered for a moment, then he looked at some blogs that had posted the theories people had developed so far. "So, the Passerida system has two planets that orbit orthogonal to each other, the one that orbits outside is called Passeridae, the one that orbits on the inside is called Passeridad." So Jazz packed up his space ship full of Powerbars and Gatorade and took off.

Ten thousand years later, (due to relativity and Jazz's ship lacking a proper warp drive,) Jazz pulled up to the Passerida system. He had thought the clues over for the last ten thousand years (it felt like only a couple of days for him) , and decided he would try the Passeridae planet first, so he fell into orbit, scanning the planet for anything resembling an arrow or a sparrow. But then he noticed that Passeridae was a gas planet, and had no remarkable features what-so-ever, so he decided to try Passeridad. So he left orbit and flew over to Passeridad. Passeridad seemed to be mostly a desert planet, with little blotches of green here and there. Pretty soon his scanner showed him a canyon shaped kind of like an arrow pointing at an oasis. So he flew down and parked right next to the oasis.

There he was, at the end of his journey, with a bolder covered in moss in front of him. "So... now what?" wondered Jazz. He hadn't come all this way for nothing. Not knowing what else to do, he shot his gun at the bolder covered in moss. The moss burnt up in a firery display of... fire, and showed a door behind it. So he opened the door and walked through, and there was the biggest pile of gold and jewels and vanilla wafers he had ever seen, and also a really friggin sweet warp drive that just happened to fit his space ship, so he installed the new warp drive, unloaded all the rocks from the back of his spaceship and filled it with the gold and jewels and stuff, and then flew to Carrotus.

So, when Jazz got to Carrotus and wanted to deposit his money into his bank account, he was surprised to find out that he already had more money than he knew what to do with, 12 dollars in a Money market account, left there for ten thousand years, was a whole lot of money. Since his pile of gold was only now worth a bit compared to his near infinite money in his money market account, he went through his pile of jewels, found the biggest diamond ever, and purposed to the current princess of Carrotus, but that is a different story for a different time.
