One day, Shourya found a rocket in his backyard. It was small but glowing bright orange. "Destination: Mars," it beeped in a tiny robot voice.
Shourya climbed in. The seat was just the right size. There were buttons everywhere — red ones, blue ones, and one big yellow one labeled GO.
He pressed the yellow button.
WHOOOOOOSH! The rocket blasted through the clouds, past the moon, and all the way to the red planet. When he landed, little green aliens came out to say hello. They had round heads and big, curious eyes.
"We've been waiting for you, Shourya," said the tallest one. "We need a Lego builder to help us build our new city!"
Shourya grinned. He had come to exactly the right place. 🧱🚀
Every night, when the lights went out, the little Lego figures in Shourya's room woke up and had adventures of their own.
The firefighters drove their tiny red truck across the carpet. The astronauts launched their spaceship from the bookshelf. The knight guarded the castle made of 1,000 bricks.
One night, something went wrong. The Lego dragon had gotten loose!
The tiny figures ran everywhere. The astronaut tried flying away, but the dragon was too fast. The firefighter sprayed pretend water — but dragons don't mind pretend water.
Then the knight had an idea. He built a Lego sandwich — the dragon's favorite food. The dragon stopped, sniffed, and sat down happily to eat.
All the figures cheered. And when the sun came up, they all went back to their spots — just before Shourya woke up. 🧱🐉
The screen flashed red. Only one life left. Shourya's fingers hovered over the controller as the final boss appeared — a giant robot made of dark metal, with eyes that glowed like volcanoes.
He had been playing for two hours. His pizza had gone cold. He didn't care.
The robot stomped forward. Shourya dodged left. Dodged right. The robot swung a giant fist — BOOM! Shourya jumped just in time.
His heart was pounding. He needed the secret move. The one he had practiced 47 times. Up, up, left, B, B, A—
The controller glowed. His character launched a beam of light straight at the robot's chest. The robot stumbled. Stumbled again. And then —
VICTORY! 🎮⭐
Shourya threw his hands in the air. He had done it. Level 99 complete. The highest score in the game. He was the champion.
He looked at his cold pizza and decided it tasted great anyway.
