With her iconic tale of resilience and redemption, Cinderella emerged as a symbol of defiance against the age-old tradition of passive waiting for rescue.

Inspired by Aurora's bold proclamation of autonomy, Cinderella embarked on her own journey of empowerment, casting aside the constraints of tradition and societal expectations. In a bold gesture of independence, she discarded her glass slippers and embraced the liberation of going barefoot, symbolizing a rejection of the princess archetype and a reclaiming of her own agency.

My colleague, Artemac, from the planet Udoff, veered off course last Tuesday (of all the meteorites, what was he thinking?), so they’ve sent me, the handsome, charming, and superintelligent Luxeo, to rescue him.

My radar tells me that Artemac has ended up on the planet “Imperfect”, or as its inhabitants call it, planet Earth (what a ridiculous name for a planet!).

Truth be told, they’ve sent me because I lost in the Catch a Galaxy games.

We’ve held these elimination games because, although we have a moral obligation to save Artemac, nobody wanted to go after him. The word from the bad antennas is that he’s a complete jerk, poor guy.

Well… I’m setting out on his search today.

Wishing myself luck…

February 17, 2014.

Today I finally arrived on planet Earth. I’ve decided that in order to keep people from discovering that I’m a green, slimy being (Aren’t I cute, right?) I'm going to use my “transic” powers to transform into an Earth being.

Phew, this is so difficult! I’ve never transformed into a being before, and with the hunger I have, I don’t want to think about food because that would end very badly.

Let me try again… I must concentrate, focus my gaze on… Oops! What did I just see? It looks like a being that has expelled waste from its rear end. How curious! We Udoffians do it through the mouth, but oh well, it seems like a good “being” to transform into. Here we go! I did it! Now, I’m going to explore the planet a bit.

February 18, 2014.

Well, today I've thought it's better to transform into something else, since with this body I can't communicate with the inhabitants of this planet. Besides, yesterday was a dog's day! This planet is very strange, I don't understand anything these weird beings say, but I'll try to transform into one of them, and with my "bla bla" powers, I'll be able to initiate conversations.

By all the stardust! This transformation has hurt quite a bit. How can they walk covered like this? My whole body itches, and my little toe fingers are begging to breathe.

Finally, today, my radar located Artemac. He's in a place called "Calle de la Luisa". I'll have to use my "bla bla" translator to ask someone.

— Excuse me — Oh, what a voice I’ve got, I don’t recognize myself — Do you know where “Calle de la Luisa” is? —By the way, what a strange man, all in blue with a plate on his chest, could that be his serial number?

— Yes, you have to turn right and that’s “Calle de la Luisa”.

— Thank you, kind person —I replied.

— You’re welcome, kid, but shouldn’t you be in school?

— Umm… Yes, I’m going now, bye.

Phew, that was close! I must be more careful. School? What an ugly word. Anyway, I'm heading to "Calle de la Luisa". Hopefully, I'll find the annoying Artemac once and for all.

February 19, 2014.

Yesterday on “Calle de la Luisa” I didn’t find Artemac, but I did find his spaceship. I sense that bugger is very close.

I’m hungry; I’m going to see if there’s a terrestrial place around here where I can eat. I found one, it says “Pizzería”, I don’t know what that is, but by the smell, it must be delicious, it reminds me of my planet. Okay, I’m going in.

Coming towards me, very determined, is a very plump lady. What does she want?

— Hello, welcome to “Pizzería Artemac”, what can I get you?

I was stunned to hear the name. I had to react quickly!

— Yes, I want the spiciest one of all.

It was delicious. That spicy taste reminds me of my planet and the reason I was here. My radas started beeping; I turned my head, and there he was.

— Artemac? —His appearance was strange; he seemed older than described to me, and I could see that everyone in the “pizzería” greeted him very kindly.

— Is that you, Luxeo?

He didn’t want to come with me to Udoff. He explained that he deliberately deviated from the route, that he was tired of being treated like a fool. He told me that here people appreciated and respected him, and that his pizzas drove all the Earthlings crazy.

February 26, 2014.

It’s been a week since Artemac stayed on Earth. I had to come up with a good excuse to convince the elders, who seemed to believe the whole story.

I can’t say that Artemac made the right decision, but it did seem to convince him.

I should have shown all the Udoffians how much he was worth.

I thought it was just another day amidst the chaos of the week. From Monday with a bad mood, followed by exams on Tuesday and sports events on Wednesday, what a nightmare! So, when Friday finally arrived, all I wanted was to go home.

On the way, as usual, I stopped in front of the window of my favorite store: Magic and Dreams. Although it hadn't been open for long, it had already become my refuge. Its owner, an older and mysterious man, had always made me somewhat uneasy, but that day I decided to enter for the first time, not knowing that I was about to change my life.

The inside of the store was simply magical: toys seemed to have a life of their own, rabbits continuously sprang from a magician's hat, and upon seeing me, they began to dance. In the background, the soft sound of a piano playing a piece by Mozart enveloped me with its notes.

I remember a small box full of sweets with a note that warned: Whoever eats a candy will lose their head. I glanced at the owner, who was absorbed in his reading, and without a second thought, I took one and put it in my mouth. I closed my eyes and let myself be carried away by the melody.

When I opened them again, I found myself disoriented, with a strange sense of loss. I felt nervous and, barely, managed to leave the store. The owner looked at me with a malicious smile.

The cold air hit me as I left, I buttoned up my jacket and headed home, aware that my mother would be worried about me. As I crossed Plaza del Sol, people started screaming and running around me, without understanding what was happening.

Suddenly, a voice warned me to be careful, but it was too late. I stumbled over a trash can that exclaimed:

— I warned you. But, what are you doing without a head?

Confused, I saw myself reflected in a car window and panicked.

— My God, my head, my head! — I exclaimed.

The trash can reassured me and explained that the store owner got angry with those who ignored the warning note on the candies. I then remembered the note and knew what the solution was: I had to apologize to the owner to get my head back.

I thanked the trash can for its help and ran to the store. Upon arrival, I apologized to the owner, who accepted my apologies. With a snap of his fingers, a tin soldier appeared before me, carrying my head.

Good morning, everyone. I am Scientist Loranjene Hustok. After dedication most of my life to the study of animals, I have stumbled upon a remarkable discovery —a species overlooked by classification due to its controversial nature: the Entomodelph.

The Entomodelph is a master of camouflage, capable of remaining motionless for extended periods to track its prey. Upon detection, it emits a wolf-like howl before swiftly descending with pinpoint accuracy. Interestingly, its diet has evolved to favor teachers, particularly those in Literature and English.

With a disproportionately large head adorned with turquoise eyes, the Entomodelph possesses keen senses, including an acute sense of smell, which aids in teachers' detection. Its electric-blue hue allows rapid adaptation to diverse habitats.

Devoid of legs but boasting wings spanning 14 meters, it ranks among the fastest species, clocking speeds of up to 180 kilometers per second. Found in various schools, it lurks undetected, often trailing its prey for an entire academic year.

Aurora and the Revolution of Fairy Tale Independence.

Yesterday, Princess Aurora, universally known as the Sleeping Beauty, shattered the age-old tradition of passive waiting for Prince Charming with her bold awakening. This pivotal moment hearlds a seismic shift in the annals of fairy tales.

Despite impassioned pleas from her parents, Aurora remained resolute, steadfastly refusing to succumb to enchanted slumber. Her inaugural words reverberated with a spirit of empowerment: "I awaken by my own will, not by the kiss of a man".

This proclamation reverberated through the neighboring kingdoms, sparking a wildfire of independence among the princesses. Snow White rejected all forms of apple temptation, while Cinderella embraced the liberation of going barefoot. Rapunzel displayed remarkable courage by severing her own hair. Meanwhile, Ariel boldly announced her departure from her underwater realm to explore the world above, and Jasmine fearlessly defied palace guards by soaring through the street of Agrabah on a magic carpet.

Aurora's audacious defiance has catalyzed a tidal wave of independence across realms, challenging antiquated norms and traditions.
