How I Saved the World

Chapter 1: Meet Daniela

June 22, 2035, was the day that would lead me, fifteen-year-old Daniela Quinn to eventually become a hero.🤩 I didn't know it at the time though. And actually, this was good, because if it had been up to me, I would've not acceded to save the earth. 😕

But as I said before, I didn't know. Which is why that day I was sitting on my bed asking myself one question: If I had the opportunity to go back in time, what would I change? 🤔I was asking myself this because I had to write an essay about it for my English class. But I had been pondering it for the last two hours, and I had still not been able to find an answer. I was stumped.😑😥😓

Oh well! I thought. Might as well listen to some music, maybe that will give me some inspiration. 😌😁

So I grabbed my laptop and played my favorite playlist. 🎤 🎧 🎼 I then set it down on my bed and laid down. I'll just relax for a second, and finish my homework later, I thought. But, I never did get a chance to that because of all of a sudden: BANG BANG. I heard a loud noise, which sounded similar to someone hammering on a wall. 😨😨😨 It had disrupted my music, and with it, my hopes to relax languished. I became curious and decided to see where the noise was coming from. So I muted the music and went to find out what that noise was.🤔

This seemed like a meaningless decision to me at the time, but that moment changed the course of my entire history. It lead me to commit what some might call an irreversible mistake; but of course, I had no way of knowing. 😧 😔

So I got out of my room and went to the living room, but everything looked normal. The white couches were empty, the large plasma T.V in the brown table was turned off. The brand new computer in the corner was also turned off, so the noise was not coming from here. 💻

At the time, I was confused, and it took me awhile to realize that the noise was coming from upstairs.🔊🔊 But by the time I had figured it out, the noise had already stopped. Still, I was curious, so I decided to go and check what it was.

So I rapidly went up the stairs and got to the second floor. Then I ran to the other set of stairs which went up the 3rd floor, which was where I had heard the noise come from. 🔊

Not many houses had a 3rd floor because not all families are as affluent as mine. Most do not even have a second floor, or sometimes they do not even have food to eat. Which makes me and my family very lucky. 😊

I reached the 3rd floor just as the loud noise started again. It was coming from a room near the end of the hallway. It was my dad's workroom. 👨🏻‍💻

My dad is an inventor and scientist, and he usually spends a lot of time in his workroom; or as he calls it, his Laboratory.

I had never really gone into my dad's laboratory because when he is working, he finds noises irksome, and for some reason, I just can't keep quiet. 👩🏻🗯=😡

As I entered I saw my dad and our maid next to a very intricate piece of machinery. It looked kind of like those ostentatious lasers that you could see in movies.

What are you doing? I asked my dad. 🤔

Oh hey, sweetheart! My dad exclaimed. I am glad your here! I want to show you my latest invention, just give me ten minutes for me to finish it up, I'll call you. 😁☺️

Ok, dad, I answered. ☺️

While he was tweaking his newest invention I decided to take a look at his laboratory. After all, I don't get to come here very often. 👣 👀

Now, this was no normal laboratory. Well, actually I don't really know if it is a normal laboratory because I have never seen another one other than this one; but it was definitely not a laboratory that you could have in a sci-fi movie. 🎬

It was on the 3rd floor of a building, with a beautiful panorama of the azure color of the Caribbean ocean, 🌊🌊with ornate carvings over the brown entrance door. The walls of the room were white, but the beauty of the room was embellished with colorful portraits of balmy beach weather. 🌞Wow, this room is so cool! I thought.

"Hey Daniela!" my dad said, "Come I want to show you my latest invention."😁

He pointed at the same intricate machine I had seen when I came in.

"Um cool!" I answered not knowing what to say. "What is it?"😦...

This my dear my dad revealed, Is a machine I created to repair the ozone layer. 😏

"R-Really?" I stammered😱 😳😱 😳😱 😳
