Illustration for Rex's Meteor Meltdown

Rex the T-Rex was having a terrible, horrible, no-good day. His spaceship crashed on Planet Oops, and he couldn't reach the repair button—his tiny arms were TOO SHORT. He flopped around dramatically, roaring in frustration.

Then Stella the Stegosaurus arrived, giggling at his backwards somersaults. Instead of laughing meanly, she said, "Hey, need help?" Rex expected mockery. Instead, Stella climbed on his shoulders, pressed the button with her tail spike, and HIGH-FIVED him with her whole body.

As they blasted toward home, Rex realized something: kindness when someone's down feels better than any victory. He gave Stella the window seat—the BEST spaceship seat.

"Friends?" she asked.

"Best friends," Rex grinned, his tiny arms finally useful for hugging.
