Opening Line
"”Life...The great miracle and the great mystery. Since the dawn of time and space, creatures and human have search for its purpose and meaning. Many strange and wondrous events and legends evolved from life’s many mysterious. But none is stranger than the events of the 25th anniversary of a certain happening."

From the Beginnings
It’s been 25 years since Arlene was unleashed to the islands of Tawaho. The entire island is preparing for this special celebration. And it wasn’t just them this time. As for Tawaho, they spread the word to America that a celebration is being held on the island. And ultimately, the country of the US have arrived to Tawaho for the special celebration. Almost everyone from there was anticipated for the celebration. Excepted for one.

We cut to Arlene taking a bit of meditation to prepare for the celebration. She fears one mess up could rupture her reputation. And if one perilous event happens and she isn’t relied on, the US will declare Tawaho too dangerous to live, forcing the population of DiamondVille to leave the island for a thousand years or life. And as for Arlene, she loves her home and everyone in it. She protects it because she loves it. She swore to herself she won’t let anyone down. But the tension just rises in her. She fears of messing up.

Arlene stops her meditation in tension. She’s having trouble concentrating because off the fear of messing up. Arlene determined that she make the celebration as perfect as anything she can hope. After a few seconds, her son, Mikey, comes in to tell Arlene that he’s taken care of the fliers and schedules for the celebration. Arlene is very thankful for him, mainly because she’s so nervous about the celebration. Mikey asks what she means by that. She explains that everyone from the United States has come for the celebration and now know about the events that have happened here. What if she messes up and shows herself off as an imbecile? Mikey says she’ll be fine. He explains without her, Tawaho couldn’t have possibly existed in the first place. She gives him that, if she never existed, the Giant cephalopod and possibly the Shadow Eagle would’ve destroyed the island. She thanks him for the motivation and decides to head out and check how things are out there

Back outside, many people were prepping the main stuff. Crystal was flying in the sky clearing up the sky, Tiffany was making the balloon animals, Junior was taking care of the music, Desiree was selling her grandmothers Apple Juice, and Amber was decorating the stage. Looking at Amber though, she was going for total perfection, which may take way to long. Her older brother, Tiago, reminds her that. But Amber, she think it’s need to be perfect if Arlene asked her. Perfection takes time. Crystal doesn’t agree. She comes down and decides to do Amber’s job for her. She grabs the basket of Diamonds and Ribbons and flies all around the stage. Finished in under 4.5 seconds. Amber isn’t pleased with her help though, and who can blame her, Crystal did a terrible job. The ribbons weren’t set properly, they were out of place. Amber runs over and tries to fix them.

During inspections, Arlene was trying to focus on the schedule. She still had the fear of screwing up, but everyone has confidence in her. She’s got this. Taylor, Tiberius, Trevor, and Drake meet up with Arlene asking if she’s doing ok. She claims she’s fine, she’s just a bit nervous about the celebration. Taylor and Amber believe she’ll be fine. It’s just a celebration, it’s her specialty. She makes all celebrations good. But Arlene says this is different. She can’t make any mistakes this time and the tension just increases. She’s like, ”If I fails the celebration that who is I?!” Tiffy feels as if Arlene is overreacting. She runs over to Arlene telling her it’ll be the biggest and greatest celebration the world has ever experienced. As the savor of the island, she cannot fail. This day will define who she really is. The pressure is rising and intense, IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY SINGLE PERSON TO HANDLE!!! But she’s got her friends and family. With them around, she can do anything, so she should stop worrying. Arlene sees her point. She finally loses tension and is calm. She thanks them for the motivation. Now everyone prepares for the rest of the celebration
