It was the perfect day to venture out on the open seas. Princess Vanessa eagerly awaited her father's annual voyage through the archipelago to revitalize bonds with the other islands. The trip lasted a month, so she treasured it so much. Since her mother always stayed home, it was just her and her Daddy relishing the high seas without her monstrous excuse for a mother coming along. However, when she reached the piers with her luggage to board the vessel, her father's prized ship was gone without her! It was too far out to sea for them to hear her call. She started crying, knowing her father would never do this to her on purpose. Consequently, she stormed back up to the castle, arriving at her mother's private chambers and demanding to know how she had coerced her father to leave her behind. The monarch was most displeased with her daughter's 'tantrum' and refused to answer her questions. She only said if she were going to behave like a child, she'd be grounded like one. Her

At Michelle Obama Middle School, Ruby's entire grade was anxiously waiting to see her friend Cornelia's mother, Dr. Dawson. The Starstone sisters appreciated the middle school's name since it was named after a woman of color who'd been a former First Lady.  The school's original name hadn't been popular with most in the neighborhood, so they renamed it during the Obama Administration to establish the school was moving forward, not backward.  Ruby kept glancing at the sizeable old-fashioned clock on the wall. On her planet, they measure the hours of the day slightly differently. Yes, they did have twenty-four hours, but they told time more like Europeans with a twenty-four-hour clock and not a twelve-hour clock.  So, to her, the time read Tiger's Eye Brown, which translated into 9:30 a.m. Earth time. Still, she kept that to herself. She was glad her friends and their siblings had taken an interest in crystals, but she wasn't about to divulge the truth about who she genuinely

Long before Prince Eric and Ariel's love story, another love story took place in the archipelago. However, this one was far more tragic then how the Little Mermaid's tale ended. Twenty-five years ago, another island empire faced a series of tragic events before either Eric or Ariel were born. The island was named Aigygo and was governed by the attractive and just King Jericho and his stunning wife, Queen Lorelei. They had one daughter together, the gorgeous Princess Vanessa.  Everyone adored King Jericho and his precious daughter, Princess Vanessa. However, most of the Aigygo care not for their Queen. Queen Lorelei wasn't anything like her husband. King Jericho adored the sea and adventure and treated everyone in the kingdom fairly and equally, regardless of background or status. He was handsome and kindhearted and always treated his subjects like his own family.  Thus, no one understood why he married such a close-minded, callous, and judgmental woman as Lorelei. Or at least the

Happy Birthday Lauren! You'd assume Buttercup and Westley's love story would have concluded after they escaped the wicked Prince Humperdinck. But nope, their tale continued as they found out what happens after happily ever after. The foursome continued riding their white horses for days, appreciating the beautiful countryside. But none of them had a precise destination in mind. Then, unexpectedly, one week after escaping the prince, they witnessed something silver striking across the sky. At first, they didn't know what it was, but they felt a powerful urge to pursue it. Eventually, they sensed a supernatural aura enveloping them. They kept following the silver light until they came to a valley they knew wasn't on any map and was a stronghold of the enchantment. Standing at the boundary of the valley with her arm outstretched was a gorgeous young woman in a luxurious magenta gown and a flower-patterned diadem. She was tall, voluptuous, and had flawless ivory skin. Her ebony

During Ruby's initial visit to the community center, she hadn't any idea her new human companions' older sisters were upstairs in one of the spare rooms doing their homework.  Ruby would've recognized the three who were Shaggy's co-workers: Haley, Hagit, and Felicia. However, she didn't know what her human crush, Arnette's older sister Iola, looked like. Iola attended the same high school as her other friends' older sisters. Yet she didn't work at the restaurant.  Iola DuBois's bright red hair was in a stylish short haircut that helped frame her heart-shaped face. It also helped bring out her brilliant blue eyes. Today, she was dressed more casually then usual. Just a pink shirt with a winged heart and jeans. “Are you doing okay, Iola? You seemed distracted today.” Haley Vandom questioned as she brushed her bangs out of her face. She cursed as she had to redo her long braid thanks to the wind the city was famous for. “It's nothing to fret about, Haley,” Iola assured her. She took a

Ruby quickly detected a difference in the air a few days after her initial visit to the community center. Her sister had bags under her eyes, and it looked like she was losing weight. Even with his cool makeover, Shaggy looked incredibly tense over something. Even Scooby was at a loss for words. Ruby didn't understand any of it. So, as humans say, she bit the bullet and asked her older sister what the problem was. Crystal was reluctant to explain the seriousness of specific matters to her sister. It wasn't just because her sister was only eleven in human terms. It's just their civilization was against violence. Therefore, she didn't understand how to describe such a foreign concept to a child, let alone her own sister. Still, she knew she had to give her sister an answer before she heard from someone else. Consequently, she took her little sister to her and Shaggy's room and calmly attempted to explain everything transpiring on the planet where they lived.  Ruby still looked
