Darcy was a doodler, a drawer, a dreamer, oh my! She loved to draw spaceships with swirling, twirling, colorful designs.

One day, Darcy was drawing a particularly spectacular spaceship. It had rainbow wings, a sprinkle-covered cockpit, and a tail that puffed out fluffy clouds of cotton candy.

"Zoom!" Darcy made the spaceship sound as she drew, her tongue peeking out in concentration.

And with a WHOOSH and a POP, Darcy was sucked right into her drawing! She landed with a soft bounce on a fluffy cloud of cotton candy.
