"Yes!" Riley cheered as she ran out of the store.

She somehow managed to get the last unicorn left in the store. She wasted no time to grab it, pay it, and run out. It was still early in the day so she decided to pass by her favorite candy store for the chocolate. She held onto the unicorn until she realized that someone from school might see her.

"I think I should put it in my backpack," Riley mumbled and took her bag off before placing the unicorn inside.

"Hey," someone said.

Riley stood up and noticed a girl in front of her. She had dark skin, curly hair, and green eyes. She also seemed to be around her age, maybe older.

"Umm, hello?" Riley replied and looked around.

"I'm Gra— Gracie Tu— uh, Turner, and, uh, I was wondering if there were any more of those?" The girl asked.

"Sorry, I got the last one," Riley replied.

"Would you be willing to sell it to me?" Gracie asked.

"No, sorry," Riley replied and tried to walk away but Gracie got in her way.

"Can I at least hold it then? Just for a bit? Please?" She pleaded.

"No, look, I need to get home," Riley replied getting annoyed.

Gracie looked behind Riley with wide eyes,
"Oh, no wait I can handle—!"

Riley turned back just in time to see a guy in some sort of alien suit run toward her and steal her bag.

"Tip, let's go!" He yelled.

Gracie or "Tip" ran after him and told Riley, "We'll bring it back I promise!"

"Hey! Come back here!" Riley exclaimed and ran after them.

They ran as fast as they could but Riley wouldn't slow down. Tip made it to their car first and opened the passenger door. She climbed in and started the car. Oh was about to get in after her but Riley grabbed the bag and pulled it.

"You thieves!" Riley exclaimed.

"Sorry, but we really need it!" Tip apologized and pulled Oh in which accidentally pulled Riley inside as well.

Riley's elbow hit a button and Oh squished Tip against the door causing her to step on the gas. The car sped forward making Riley and Oh fall to the back seat.

"What the—!" Riley gasped and looked around. "Are we flying?!"

"Oh, the button is stuck! I can't stop the car!" Tip yelled.

"You can't what?!" Riley screamed.

A purple hole opened up in front of them. Riley climbed to the passenger seat.

"What is going on?! This is the worst day of my life!" She exclaimed.

"Really? This is pretty normal for us!" Tip replied despite also freaking out.

They were sucked into the portal where they saw various clear tunnels around them.

"There must be something you can do!" Riley replied and started pressing buttons.

A purple gooey liquid got on her hands and she freaked out. She started to struggle as her hand was stuck to the panel.

"What is this!?" Riley asked, finally breaking free, ripping a bit of the car off.

"You're purple!" Tip exclaimed.

"I'm what?!" Riley asked and looked in the car's rear-view mirror.
