This story was completed on 20th May 2021. When the total lockdown started in Tamilnadu in early 2020, my cousin Sharolyn Emi and I video called each other. One day, Sharo introduced me to her apple plushie Mr. Apple. We pretended that Mr. Apple was a villain and tried to think of ways to defeat him. This story is a retelling of the video call roleplays we enacted during the lockdown with the apple plushie.

It all started in April 2020...

A huge Royal Gala apple called Donald invaded the peaceful world of Kgeeyes. People were afraid of the humongous red figure. Brave warriors like Lena the knife, Gabriel the blender, Tommy the scissor and Wolfgang the worm attacked him, but none prevailed.

Two ordinary girls from another dimension came to Kgeeyes and offered to help the noble warriors. The warriors were skeptical at first because Sharo and I were lacking in fighting skills, but they eventually agreed to collaborate with us because of our orange karate belts and our strategic skills.

We challenged Donald to fight us in a battlefield in planet Earth. The six of us packed our bags, travelled to my dimension through a portal and set up camp near the chosen battlefield. We knew that we needed more warriors and resources, but we didn't know how to get them. That was when we met Laura Eliza.

A young Martian boy called Laura Eliza was staying on planet Earth for his summer vacation. We approached him and asked him if he would like to join our army. He said yes.

Laura introduced us to his older sister Johnittah. Johnittah also agreed to join our army. She even recommended her friend Rawnda for our army. We went to Mars to get Rawnda and came back with her.
