Helene's Coding Adventure: Finding Emotions in Phuket
In sunny Phuket, 6-year-old Helene loved coding in Python, creating games filled with her favorite things—unicorns, ice cream, and BlackPink music. Her favorite places to explore were the worlds of Minecraft and Roblox.
One day, while coding a new game, Helene started feeling strange. Her heart raced, and her hands shook. Anxiety, a new emotion from Inside Out 2, appeared beside her. "What if the game doesn’t work?" Anxiety whispered.
Helene paused, unsure, but then Joy, an old friend from Inside Out, appeared with a bright smile. "You’re doing great, Helene! Keep going—it’s going to be awesome!"
Encouraged, Helene smiled and continued coding. Soon, Envy showed up, frowning at her screen. "I wish I could code like you," Envy said.
Helene replied kindly, "You can learn too! I’ll teach you. We can make amazing things together."
Next, Embarrassment peeked out. "What if people laugh at your game? What if it’s silly?" Embarrassment asked.
"It’s okay if it’s silly. Games are meant to be fun, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll try again. Mistakes are part of learning."
As she was finishing, Ennui sighed. "This is boring, Helene. Why bother?"
Helene giggled. "Not everything is exciting, but when the game is done, I bet you’ll have fun."
With all her emotions gathered around, Helene finished her game. Her screen lit up with a colorful world where unicorns danced on rainbows, collected ice cream, and sang along to BlackPink's hits. All her emotions cheered together.
That night, as Helene snuggled into bed, she felt content. She had created something wonderful and learned to embrace all her emotions. With a smile, she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of her next adventure.
The End.
