Chentle is the fastest of all the cheetahs, but she also wants to be the best climber of all the ninjas and the best flyer of all the rocket ship houses. Can she be the best at everything, and will she be happy when she leaves everyone else in her dust?

227. What if robots didn’t exist? (Dracoverse Part 1)

Long ago, Randall Radbot got his heart broken when he asked Mamma Jamma out to a school dance. Instead of dealing with his disappointment, Randall imagines an alternate universe where robots don’t exist!

Art by Ana Stretcu, Graphic Design by Karen O’Keeffe

Lessons include: We don’t have to share all of our painful memories, but we still have to learn to live with them; having a crush on someone doesn’t mean they will have a crush on you.

We’ll learn about Randall’s lost memories, see more of Mr. Beard, and share more adventures in the Dracoverse in the next story!
