The Child Star Animated Myth


Over the last couple of months Arale’s schedule turned soft, and, on this day, she found refuge on Kapsali Beach in Greece. Deciding to play around with her cell phone she decided to check her bank account.

“Siri, how much money do I have?”

“You are out of the money you spent it all.”

Suddenly, the Greek God Helios sent a message and Arale started to sweat. “Siri, I am Arale I am on the Dr. Slump show didn’t they pay me?”

Immediately the communication device answered her back, “you are a fictional character, no they do not have to pay you since you do not exist.”

“I knew I should have stayed in Coffs Harbour, there was an amusement park and everything,” Arale started to cry.

That is when Boreas entered the picture, “I don’t really exist,” she told the North Wind, “I am a fictional character!”

Pointing a dark finger, the mythical figure commanded her “grab your towel go back to the Toormia Hotel” and she followed the order only to see reality served on the resort’s plate.

Walking into the lobby the imaginary icon was giving unwelcome news, “while trying to get her Harlem Groove Cassie was taken to another place by Thanatos. “What do you mean?” She asked the concierge.

“She is now known as Boncassie but she is a winner,”

“Boncassie,” the animated colorful drawing wept, “but Arale just like you Cassie never existed,” The hotel employee unleashed an evil laugh.

Finding the revolving door, the artistic rendering headed outside and once again Boreas took a swing with wintry weather, “what did I do?” She screamed.

Upon hearing the desperate inquiry an American light flickered and a ghostly shiny cover model formed, “my name is Hamilton you did nothing wrong, and my dear friends track curator Tom and Cody have created a good track for you Arale.”

“Well thank you track curators Tom and Cody and hopefully I will endure a successful maiden pace,” Arale responded going back into the resort. Feeling a little bit warmer the fictional character started to enjoy the challenging elements, “it’s quite a nice setting, maybe not as warm as summer but different.” She said sitting on a couch when an old friend came into focus, “Elliejoh,” Arale got very excited, “what happened to your show?”

“Tyche sprinkled me with some bad luck, and we were cancelled,” Elliejoh explained, “so I went to Zwick’s place of course Eros stops in, next thing I know,” she showed the ring on her finger.

“Have you seen Tyche? Lately,” Arale asked.

“He is over there holding that two piece.”

“Arale, I command you to take this bikini, it will turn you into a Chelsava Angel, you will be a winner,” Tyche said in a strong vocal, “you are to go to the swimming area and Hamilton will be there, Eros will soon arrive and never will you worry about Dr. Slumpy again.”
