Valentine always asking Ronnie “Why did mommy have to died?” So he started working the project after his wife died, promising her one day her vision would be true. One afternoon, he was working on “Bigger Heart” on his lunch break, his manager Angel, seeing the name of it. Angel thinking to herself his trying to save the world.

The props that she wouldn’t sign are killing the world. Keeping the homeless as homeless, no taxes on the rich, destroying the people’s rights. Letting America kill 3rd world countries and UK as well, and taking over. The project is like having “Heaven on Earth” but one mistake Ronnie left in the project was the opposite. Finding that mistake a reserve engineering it will bring more madness to earth before the population knows what to do. One little detail was missing.As soon Angel found out, what Ronnie was doing she was surprise. He was explaining to her what “Bigger Heart” does, it could control the weather, natural disasters, wealth, viruses, etc. They key to start it was “missing”. He knew he told her too much. As soon everybody went home, Angel and her personal team of scientists, broke into Ronnie’s lab. They took all the data. Next morning, Ronnie got to work everything of the project was gone, nothing was left behind. Ronnie went to security and ask for video footage of his office around 10:15pm-10:30pm, no footage was collected, his lab or the surrounding of his lab. He had no expectations of Angel doing this, but thought to himself, How would somebody know to cut out the cameras in his area? Unless it was somebody on the inside, but again not Angel, she’s a manager she would never steal or lie to a employee. 10 feet below the building, where Angel took “Bigger Heart” to see if her team could reserve engineer and see what kind of damage could it do if was unleashed by “accident” but her not knowing the key was lost. Small details were hidden in Ronnie’s lab just in the open but every tiny though. Later that day, Valentine seen Ronnie down with his head on the family table laying down. She ask if everything was ok or not, he goes no. Ronnie told her everything from the project to the details he was hiding. Then, Paul and Ace walked into the room with them. So with all of them sitting in one room, thinking how they were gonna pay the mortgage and bills this month. With Ace being the oldest he offer to pay for everything, knowing he only had a part time job and also had a side hustle too. Working at Footlocker, only making 1200 every two weeks, wasn’t bad for only a part time. Back in the lab, Angel and her team did finish the reserve engineering and found out the mistake Ronnie left. It was another world, the underworld, meaning letting “Hell on Earth”. But, to let that happen she needed the key to start the damage, the only missing item. She couldn’t find in the lab. So Angel looked closely to Ronnie’s office, looking for that key. The only thing closely to a key was the heart shaped necklace on Valentine. So later, Angel spotted Valentine walking home from school.

Cosmix Destiny ✨
Think back to the last time you were out under a clear sky, fully lit by a dazzling array of stars. Imagine yourself looking into the celestial night, with the power to make a single wish. Allow your spirit to ascend into the darkness of the sky, and spark iridescently to life, fulfilling the inner most desires of the soul. Where would you go? Who would you become? What would you change, or choose to accomplish? Would you wish for good? Would you wish for bad? These questions may make even the wisest of humanity hesitate. For me, however, now more than ever, I know exactly what I would wish for, who I'd become, who I already am... or would be, in a perfect world. Prince Luminos Cosmix, Is my alter ego, We are a philosophical hero, A dreamer who looks to the stars, a writer that has began creating an entire universe around my identity through the way my imagination warps the world. A poet that speaks from the heart, a musician/dancer that with a little guidance could help bring the tides of change, an artist with a vision, designer of a Royal Cosmixian clothing line, a philanthropist to the less fortunate, a mentor to generations to come, an activest for a green future, A Prince looking to lead the people of this earth to metephorical kingdoms among the stars. My ambitions are exuberant, my imagination is vivid, and I'm just a 23 year old with a hopeful dream, but I know my future is bright, and one day not only will I thrive in my self made fairytale, I will be a legend who's story is spread among the stars. The path to distant galaxies won't be easy, as a dreamer such as myself can get lost drifting through space if allowed to wander too long in their imagination, therefore, the pressure is setting in. The time to act upon my dreams has risen, as will I. With the proper tools, such as Memberful, My vision will be transformed into a reality. The show I'm writing, "The Stars Have Fallen", will be animated, voiced, and brought to life, along with books, comics, and interactive (perhaps even one day virtual reality) games that allow you to roam within the universe I am creating, all while the real life characters tour the world promoting Life, Liberties, Fantasies, and Fashion lines to match the (bound to be popular) Aesthetics of my universe. It'd be my dream to give everyone a chance to be as involved in this fairytale universe in real life as it is in mine, whether that be getting lost inside of a storybook, or dressing up in cosmixian fashion. My world may currently be just an idea revolving consistently around my head, and a small three-ring binder with a few short stories and prototype character designs; but in a perfect world, where the limitations brought upon by circumstances out of my control are not to be found, Prince Cosmix and his fellowship of Cosmixians are ALIVE.
