On December 25th, some children believe Santa Claus will come to their house. Before this year, I believed in Santa Claus, but now I know that he is my parents. After I learned this fact, something scary happened!

In 2012, on Dec 12, there were a lot of scary things happening. Many people were worried about it because 12-12-2012 is the Earth's broken down day (end of days or doomsday). So most people didn't know what to do to protect themselves, but we had an idea. We changed into astronauts and then escaped from the Earth. 

Oh no! Aliens from Jupiter broke the air hose of my astronaut's suit, and I fell down from our rocket. I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't see anything. Oh no! One to two hours later, I got up. I saw the aliens from Jupiter again. They came back to help me. They said, “Hey, follow me.” So, I followed them. Then I saw a planet, and I could breathe there. I lived happily ever after again.

One day, I heard by chance, they said, "We can eat the girl tomorrow, ha ha ha ha." So, I escaped very quietly, until I arrived at the escape door and realized that I couldn't breathe. Oh no! They made the inside an air aquarium so I could breathe and outside there was no air, so I couldn't breathe. I was just trapped there by them. 

However, I had a magic genie lamp I bought with all of my money the day before I escaped. I said, “Genie, Genie, come out Genie”. The genie came out. I said, "Please make a rocket, an astronaut's suit, and a planet just like Earth." He made my wishes come true. Oh yeah! I came back to my home finally. Our new Earth is cleaner than the old one. Yay! We have to be careful with our environment, for example, decrease pollution and our trash. Lastly, our Earth lives happily ever after.
