by Arianna, age 12, New Hampshire
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, mutant alexandrite Garfunkel neonboy The fourth was taking his daily trip around the Solar system just for pleasure when suddenly he realized that his fuel gauge was critically low.
Alexandrite knew that he would have to crash land on the nearest planet, which happened to be earth. Knowing that it would be essential to his own survival and the survival of any earthlings below, alexandrite prepared to bring his rocket boosters into alignment and slowly prepare for landing.
Turns out alexandrite landed in the middle of times Square in New York City during fashion week.
Alexandrite was so flabbergasted at all of the glamorous dresses that he wanted to join the fashion designers and make his own glamorous dresses with silk from other planets. At the same time the humans were exasperated by the fact that alexandrite had destroyed their outdoor runway and they were also frightened because he was trying to speak to them and they couldn’t understand his language
At that moment a model walked up to alexandrite and began to speak to him in his language. Turns out she was biracial and had an alien parent and a human parent and was able to speak both English and alien.
When alexandrite brought out some materials from other planets the earthlings thought that he was weird and grotesque but the materials where like nothing they had ever seen before.
Alexandrite decided to work with the biracial model to create a design for the fashion show. He vividly described his ideas and what they would have to do to convert his alien fabrics into human designs.
Alexandrite wanted to create create a dress of opaque blue with oblique angles. They got to work meticulously cutting and sewing the fabric using a technique he has learned from his mother, who was a famous fashion designer throughout the galaxy
So it was an arduous task to complete the dress was picturesque and like nothing humans had ever seen. The model was very excited and taught alexandrite proper etiquette so that he would know how to behave at the big show
The fashion show audience was disproportionately human so alexandrite was worried about what they would think. He knew he might have to deflect negative comments so that they didn’t hurt his feelings
When the moment came that a model came out on stage wearing his dress all of the humans stood up and clapped like a wildfire, cheering and whistling for the beautiful dresses that alexandrite made
Ever since that fateful day alexandrite became an even more famous fashion designer than his mom ever could be. On earth everyone would lineup in a row around the continent just to see his dress in person And He and the model became such close friends that they decide to get married, and they had more biracial children and named them Rachel one Rachel two and Rachel three.
(I named the children before we found out Rachel was from Planet Rachel)
