 "Cosmo, get over here, honey," said Alex as she cuddled her furry pet. "Awhoo whoo whoo," replied Cosmo as he pointed to a painting with his head.


"What is it, darling?" Alex asked, "and please stop the grating. It's annoying."


Then, an illuminating light filled the room coming from the picture frame. So, as any curious young teen would do, she touched it. "Aaaaagh," she screamed as she sank into the frame.


"Whooo," exclaimed Cosmo, and scampered after her. "Woah," said Alex, nearly taken away. "This is amazing," and indeed it was.


The stars shimmered across the galaxy, and in the distance, they heard the gentle call of a whale. "We need to get to the whale. Cosmo, he'll get us home," said Alex and ran across the endless space, realizing there was no floor to run on. "Come on, Cosmo, don't be the slowmo," and so the two friends ran across the space, hoping to find the great whale. Soon, the whale came into view, but it seemed as if it was running from something.


"That's weird. Why is it running away?" asked Alex curiously. "Babblayooo! Babblayooo! Do you hear that, Cosmo?" asked Alex, turning around sharply.


Babblayooo! Babblayooo! The sound increasing made it even more intense. "RRUUUUUUNNNN!" shouted Alex as she spotted a smack of jellyspace heading towards them. "Ahwoo, whoo!" ran Cosmo, and finally, they caught up to the whale.


In the heart of the cosmic night, the celestial whale, woven from starlight and ancient constellations, soared through the indigo expanse, below on the desolate starlit plain. Alex and her companion wolf gazed upward, their silhouettes etched against the shimmering spectacle. The ethereal leviathan of beauty, a beacon of wonder, seemed to beckon them into the boundless mysteries of the universe.


So as the levitation of beauty took over their minds, Alex touched the giant and got sent to the comforts of home, she was soon followed by Cosmo. Alex crept towards the picture frame and rested her hand on it like last time, except this time, it didn't work.


"Oh well," sighed Alex. "That was fun."
