The Girl Who Saved The Earth
It’s the year 5960. Everything has changed now. Earlier there were cars which needed petrol but now ‘flycars’ have been invented which don’t rely on petrol. Their fuel is sunlight and they have taken the place of the aeroplanes. Now women don’t prepare food. Scientists have made ‘food capsules’. Just put them in the ‘food processor’ and your food is ready. Humans no longer work. Now only the robots work. Everything is done digitally now. The names of continents and countries have also changed and there are no kings, presidents, prime ministers and ministers.

In a beautiful country named Schon, a teenager resides with her family. Her name is Eve. She reads in XI grade. She has long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. There are five members in her family, including her. She lives in a very high-tech house. There are robot servants in her house. All electrical appliances are automatic in her house. Even the lights and doors have sensors in them. I know you also want the same house, right? She has a younger brother, a younger sister, a father and a mother. She loves her family a lot. She is very intelligent. She loves to learn new things. Nowadays she is engaged in researching ‘Extraterrestrials’. Extraterrestrials are those who don’t belong to our planet Earth. They are also called ‘Aliens’. Since the technology is very advanced now, she has found some really interesting information about the aliens. She has found that aliens have big black eyes and a very big head. They speak an unknown language which can’t be translated but they understand the language of humans. They have high-tech objects, radio transmitters and spaceships. They live in space. Some people believe that aliens live on Earth too and they can even harm us. But others say that these are just rumours. She has also found that if we stab an alien using any sharp object, the alien will die and it will blast releasing a harmful gas known as ‘The Blastating Gas’. If any human inhales the Blastating Gas, he/she will faint. But after five minutes, that gas disappears on its own. Eve is astonished. She wants to know more about the aliens, but her mom is calling her. “Sweetie put five food capsules in the food processor, she says. But Eve is lost in the world of aliens. There are many thoughts which are coming across her mind. “How do they look?... What do they eat?... What do they wear? “, she wonders. Her mom doesn’t scold her for not listening to her because she knows that her little daughter is exploring the wonders of this marvellous universe. Her mom puts the food capsules in the food processor and serves the food to her dad, younger brother, younger sister and Eve. Normally she takes twenty minutes to eat her food but today she finished her dinner in just five minutes and went back to her room. Her dad is surprised. ‘’Why did she eat her food so quickly? Is she stressed? Why is she in a hurry? “, he asks Eve’s mother. “Your princess is researching aliens. She didn’t even tell me about it. “, she replies. “Oh my goodness! My princess has grown up now. How do you know that she is researching extraterrestrials? “, her dad asks. “She forgot to close her laptop today. When I went to shut down the laptop, I found out that she was gaining information about the aliens.”, she replies. Her parents keep on talking about her, but, what about Eve? What is she doing now? … You might be thinking this… I guess. Eve is exhausted today as she completed all her assignments assigned by the teachers and researched aliens. So she is sleeping now. Teachers give a lot of homework during vacations, don’t they?
A new day has begun now. Earlier in the 21st century’ in the morning, the chirpings of birds could be heard, but now, since all the birds, animals, insects and even plants are extinct, only the sound of automobiles can be heard. Humans by their evil deeds, have destroyed the Earth. Eve woke up early today. The sound of flycars irritates her. “Oh God, this annoying sound of flycars! I hate this noise pollution. Let me get ready first, then I’ll do some more research on Aliens.”, she says to herself. After one hour, Eve gets ready, eats her breakfast then goes back to her study table to do the research work. She has opened her laptop to do the research. Today, she has found that the aliens are shapeshifters. They can convert into any organism. Eve is amazed. “I wish I were like them! “, she thinks. She goes outside her room to the living room where her family members are talking to each other. Eve tells her family members about aliens and she warns them too to be careful of the aliens. No one believes her, not even her parents. She is quite upset. To cheer her up, her parents give her a chocolate capsule. She puts it in the food processor and enjoys her chocolate.

Their neighbours are calling her parents. They are bidding them goodbye. Eve goes back to her room. She is looking outside the window. Something is going on in her neighbourhood. Her neighbours are shifting to a new place and a man will live there now. She will miss her old neighbours. Their memories make her cry. She wipes her tears using napkins. “Why does our new neighbour look so weird?”, she thinks. Her new neighbour is very suspicious. He wears a loose old blue T-shirt and grey loose pants. Her ears are very big. No one has ever seen him there earlier. Eve read that aliens are shapeshifters so she thinks that this new person can be an alien. She has to be very careful. God knows if he is a human or extraterrestrial.

Now Eve is keeping an eye on this guy. From her window, she can see what that person is doing. His house is in front of her house. Since the man keeps his windows open, therefore she can spy on him. Eve can be a detective too, can’t she? But peeping into someone’s house is not a good thing. Eve brings her advanced binoculars to spy on him. That man is drinking juice. It can be a special potion too. What if he becomes stronger after drinking it and destroys everything? Eve is looking at him without blinking her eyes. Oh, thanks to God. Nothing happened. Eve is feeling sleepy now. She should go to bed. She clicks a button on her bed and all the lights of the room are closed on their own. On the roof of her room, a beautiful pattern has appeared. On her table, there is a beautiful Bluetooth speaker in the shape of a swan. Melodious songs are playing on it so she can sleep peacefully. She is asleep now. Suddenly everything stops and Eve is in a desert now. How does this happen? Eve is so scared. She can hear the thumping sound of someone’s feet. Is there any elephant in the desert? She read that elephants were found centuries ago. How is it even possible? She looks behind her. A giant alien is standing in front of her. Maybe it wants to kill her. She is running as fast as she can. She wants to save herself. She is just sixteen years old and she hasn’t achieved anything in her life. She prays to the God to save her. The big alien is still running behind her. Is it her last day on Earth? She sees a hut in the middle of the desert. She goes inside it. There is a beautiful lady in front of her who is preparing tea. “But people used to make tea many centuries ago. There are food capsules now. Is she from the past?” , Eve wondered but decided not to ask about this from her. She asks her, “Hello beautiful lady. Who are you and what are you doing in this desert?” She says, “I’m Delilah. I live in this desert. It’s my house. All the creatures in this desert are my friends.” Eve says, “ I’m perplexed . I was sleeping on my bed. I don’t know how I have teleported to this desert. I read about deserts in encyclopedias . Now they don’t exist. Then how have I reached here.” Delilah says, “ I called you here using my magical powers. The aliens have invaded the Earth. Only you can save humanity now.” Eve says, “ But how can I do so? Wait ...you can do magic! How is it even possible?” Delilah says, “I’m a fairy, dear. God chose you to save the Earth because in this cruel world, only you are generous.” Eve says, “I’m very confused. If you are a fairy and can do magic then why don’t you save the Earth.” Fairy says, “ There are some rules which even God has to follow. You won’t understand now kid. It’s in your hands to save humanity now, otherwise aliens will finish all the humans living on Earth.” Eve says, “But how will I save the Earth? What shall I do?” Delilah says, “ Just use your intelligence.” Eve says, “You know Delilah, an alien was chasing me. Please save me from him.” Everything starts turning black. The hut and fairy are disappearing and suddenly Eve closes her eyes as she falls into a black void. She is screaming. She bumps her head into something hard and now her head is hurting. She slowly opens her eyes and sees that her parents are standing right in front of her. “Was it a dream?”, she thinks. “What happened dear? Did you see a nightmare?”, her parents asked. “Yes, mom and dad. I saw a nightmare but I’m alright now.”, Eve says. Her mom commands her to get ready for breakfast. She gets ready and shares her nightmare with everyone at the dining table. Everyone laughs at her and Eve also smiles. Her dad and her siblings are going to a museum.

Eve goes back to her room and brings her binoculars to spy on her neighbour again. To her surprise, that suspicious man is mixing some chemicals in a beaker. He has safety glasses on his eyes, gloves in his hands and he has worn a lab coat. It seems like he is experimenting. “Is he a scientist? But who experiments in his/her room? Experiments should be done in labs under the supervision of experts.”, Eve says to herself. And ‘BOOM!’ … Suddenly all the beakers have blasted as he mixes a purple chemical with a transparent chemical. “Oh my God! What’s this?”, Eve screams. She is frightened. That weird man is staring at her now. How can he hear her scream when her room is soundproof? This even scares her more. Her heart is beating faster, maybe as fast as the bullet train! Jokes apart…but she is really frightened. What will be your reaction when a man starts staring at you as if he will just eat you? You’ll get scared,won’t you?

That man’s skin is peeling off now and only the flesh is left. He has a very big head and two big black eyes. Eve’s condition worsens after seeing this dreadful scene. She screams harder than earlier. Now her doubt is cleared. Her neighbour is an alien!

When Eve’s mom hears her screams, she approaches her. What her mom sees after entering the room, will give you goosebumps. The weird neighbour is now crawling on the outside part of the window of Eve’s room. How can anyone teleport and crawl on the walls, without any support? Maybe aliens can do such things. Eve also thinks so. Her mother is so scared that she can’t utter even a single word.

That weird man or I should rather say alien, is now trying to break the glass window using a knife in his hand. It’s a matter to think, where did he get the knife from? Eve isn’t scared anymore. She has to save humanity. She’ll obey Delilah. Maybe that nightmare wasn’t a nightmare but the message of God. The moment she sees a knife in his hand, she realises that she can kill him using any sharp object. She commands her mother to bring the scissors from her almirah and two oxygen masks, so they won’t inhale the blastating gas. Her mom gives her the scissors but their alien neighbour has vanished now. Eve commands her mom to wear the mask and to stay strong. ‘SMASH!’, they hear a voice from the kitchen. Eve and her mom go to the kitchen. They see that their alien neighbour who is vicious, is crawling on the wall, speaking gibberish. He jumps just behind her mother with a knife in his hand. He wants to hurt them. Eve, without delay, inserts the scissors into the alien. ‘BOOM!’, the kitchen is filled with the blastating gas now, but since Eve’s siblings and father have gone outside, and she and her mother put masks on their faces, all are safe now. Eve’s mom has tears in her eyes. Her little princess saved her life. She hugs her tightly. Eve is also elated.

It’s just because of her curiosity to know more about aliens, that she was able to save her mother from the alien or maybe, she saved all the humans living on planet Earth. She used her intelligence and saved everyone.

So my friends, we learn from this that we should never give up, no matter how typical the situation is. You can achieve anything with your intelligence.
