It was a Wednesday, April 22, 2020, at six thirty in the morning.
Littletato was sleeping with Júlia, they were dreaming the same dream.
She was sitting on a pink cloud, soft as cotton, and Júlia was beside her.
The cloud was shaped like a chair where you could lean your back and it also had a footrest.
Littletato looked down, she was so high in the sky, able to see the cities and buildings up there, and the beautiful sun amongst the clouds.
Júlia and Littletato were feeling the strong wind and the cool breeze, relaxing on the chairs made of clouds.
She was not afraid of falling, even if it was very high, because she knew she could fly in the dream.
The girls saw a man sitting on a yellow cloud, approaching them, with an acoustic guitar.
Littletato thought he looked like Goku from the Dragon Ball anime flying on a cloud.
He got close to the girls' cloud and his cloud stayed moving slowly.
The man said his name was Miguel, and that he was Mexican, Littletato could understand him as if he were speaking English.
"I'm gonna sing a song that my great-great-grandfather wrote for my great-grandmother when she was a child," said Miguel.
With a distant look, Miguel began to sing, as if the words were a gift from his past.
"Remember me
Though I have to say goodbye
Remember me
Don't let it make you cry

For even if I'm far away
I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song
To you each night we are apart

Remember me
Though I have to travel far
Remember me
Each time you hear a sad guitar

Know that I'm with you
The only way that I can be
Until you're in my arms again
Remember me," sang Miguel with great emotion, remembering his great-great-grandfather and great-grandmother, and crying.

Júlia and Littletato cried along with Miguel, feeling the same emotions as him.
Littletato remembered her lost sister and brother, they disappeared when she was sixteen.
She did not remember their faces or voices, only the moments she spent with them and Carol, playing together in childhood.
The grief of longing involved her, and the tears streamed down her face.
Júlia noticed this and hugged Littletato tight, stroking her hair.
"I'm so sorry about your great-great-grandfather and great-grandmother," said Júlia, looking sadly at Miguel.
"Thank you very much, they are in a better place now..." replied him.
"Did you lose someone too?" asked Miguel, looking sadly at Littletato.
"Yes, my two siblings when I was little..." replied Littletato, wiping her tears.
"I'm so sorry about that... I hope that one day you'll be able to meet with them again..." said Miguel, with an understanding look.
"Thank you, I hope so too..." said the girl, feeling a comforting warmth in the connection she had created with Miguel and his song.
The three said goodbye, and Miguel continued flying through the sky, slowly disappearing among the clouds, towards the sunset.
Littletato and Júlia looked at each other with a soft smile, feeling the strength of memories and the importance of remembering the people we love.
At that moment, the love they shared became even deeper.
It united them not only in their grief but also in the hope and joy of the memories they held.
Júlia also missed her sister Vitória, who lived in New York, far from her, and wanted to visit her.
Then, the pink clouds came together and turned into a bed, covering the girls with cotton-soft clouds.
They hugged each other and, as they fell asleep, a new dream appeared for Littletato.

The girl was lying on a double bed made of algae bio-plastic, wrapped in a blue blanket made of bamboo fiber.
The pillow was blue and stuffed with organic cotton.
She was on a spaceship, floating through space, and looked out one of the two windows.
Littletato saw the Sun in one window and the Earth in the other, far away, where she could see Brasil.
As she looked around the spaceship, she noticed a wardrobe with her clothes and a blue fridge.
There was also a computer desk with drawers, a computer, and a gamer chair similar to hers.
Littletato saw two automatic doors that opened downwards when someone approached.
Above one door was written "Bathroom", and on the other, "Gym".
The bathroom door was to the right of the double bed.
Littletato also noticed two banners on two walls of the spaceship, the walls where the windows were.
On each wall, there was a light blue banner with the text "SpaceLiving" and a dark blue banner with the text "LonelyShip".
LonelyShip was the name of the spaceship that Littletato was on.
"Why I am in this spaceship alone? Is this a dream?" Littletato wondered, looking around the spaceship.
The light was on, but Littletato did not see any bulbs on the ceiling, maybe the bulbs were hidden.
She got up and turned off the light with the switch that was beside the gym door.
The walls were made of a special plastic, the plastic part of the ceiling opened and Littletato noticed a glass plate there.
She could look up at the ceiling and see the beautiful stars shining in the distance.
Littletato heard the sound of turbines turning on, it was the spaceship's turbines.
After a few seconds, the spaceship adjusted itself, and now Littletato could see the Earth by looking up at the ceiling.
The girl was very happy to be in such a technological and interesting spaceship.
She loved seeing the Earth from afar and thought about Júlia, her friends, and her family, she got sad to be away from them, and she felt lonely.

The spaceship had an air conditioner system and oxygen generation through plant photosynthesis.
It also had an artificial gravity system that kept things in place, without floating around the ship.
The system was called the "Quantum Gravitational Generator" (QGG).
It was an advanced system designed to create an artificial gravitational force for the LonelyShip spaceship.
Based on principles of quantum physics, this device manipulated the fabric of space-time to generate a gravitational pull that simulated Earth's gravity.
Littletato got up and turned on the computer, the ceiling closed again, and Littletato sat down in the gamer chair.
The computer system started up normally, but something was different.
The screen lit up with vibrant, unreal colors, a neon blue that seemed to pulse as if it were alive.
The icons on the desktop began to move, sliding from side to side.
A folder turned into a bunny that jumped happily, while a game icon writhed, changing shape every second.
The girl could not read anything on the screen, the words were jumbled and seemed to dance in harmony.
"Yeah, I'm truly dreaming..." thought Littletato, finding the whole situation strange.
"Well, since I'm dreaming, I want to go back to that relaxing farmhouse dream I had a few days ago!" exclaimed Littletato.
Instantly, she was facing the relaxing farmhouse she had visited in her dream on the 14th of April, 2020.
But now the house was much bigger and more beautiful, the walls were well-made and plastered.
The roof was now a slab, and the door was just like the automatic door of the spaceship she stayed in her previous dream.
Littletato entered the house and saw that now it had a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.
There was a wardrobe with all her clothes, the fridge was full of food, and her Xbox One was also in the living room.
So the girl stayed there having fun in her house, it was raining lightly, and she could hear the drops of water falling on the roof.

After various minutes, Littletato woke up and looked at Júlia, caressing her.
"Good morning my love," said Littletato, "Hmm... Good morning honey..." replied Júlia, stretching.
Littletato looked at the digital clock of the house and saw that it was eight twenty in the morning.
Júlia and her made a delicious breakfast, they ate while chatting a little.
"Hey honey, today I had a wonderful dream, I was sitting on a pink cloud with you...
Then a man called Miguel came by and sang a beautiful song for us, about his great-grandmother..." explained Littletato.
"Wow, did you have that dream too my love?" asked Júlia, curious and surprised.
"Yes honey, it's good to know that we dreamed the same thing, we are in tune, hehe.
That song by Miguel touched me a lot... It almost seems like I've heard it before...
Maybe in some Pixar movie..." replied Littletato.
"That's right, hehe, I noticed how much you were touched by the song honey...
Wasn't it in the movie 'Coco'?
Where there's a boy that is also called Miguel?" asked Júlia, thoughtful.
"I think it was that one honey, thank you for reminding me.
I think my brain was remembering the movie when it was building the dream, hehe," replied Littletato.
Littletato also told about the other dreams she had, about the spaceship and the second visit to the relaxing farm.
Júlia said she had heard the names "SpaceLiving" and "LonelyShip" before, but could not remember where.
Then the girls finished eating breakfast, and Littletato went to the bedroom to get ready for work.
The girl finished and left the house with her bike, saying goodbye to Júlia with a hug and kiss.
Littletato already had her earphones and phone on a phone armband she had.
She put her favorite country music playlist on Spotify and started cycling to her work.

Júlia waved goodbye to her and went back inside, locking the door.
She went to the computer room and turned on her laptop, waiting for it to boot up.
Then she looked at the digital clock and saw that it was eight-forty in the morning.
A few days ago, Littletato started teaching Júlia how to write stories, writing techniques, and good practices.
She had already made some drafts on her laptop and was happy with them.
The girl started writing her new story about a pink world of sweets.
The name of the story was "The Adventure in the Sugary Kingdom", and it told the story of Lila, a girl with pink hair.
She had made the draft of the story and also the color palette for the cover, but she had not written any chapters yet.
Júlia wrote the story's synopsis in its folder, and reread it aloud:
"While playing with her toys in the backyard of her house, Lila, a girl with pink hair, discovers a magical portal that takes her to an enchanted world where sweets are living beings.
She is enchanted by the joy of the kingdom, with lollipop knights and marshmallow archers.
Lila discovers that the Cotton Candy Queen created magical candy seeds to feed her people.
However, the peace in the kingdom is threatened by Jellywicked, a big and vibrant candy who wants to steal all the seeds and leave the kingdom without food.
Determined to protect her new friends, Lila embarks on a challenging journey, with the help of brave candies, to face Jellywicked and restore the sweetness that unites everyone.
The story explores themes of friendship, courage, and the importance of fighting for what you love."
"I think it's very good this way, this story is going to be awesome!" said Júlia, very happy with her new writing skills.
Littletato told her to store her old stories and drafts, even if they were bad.
This way she could always look back at the past and see how much she had improved.
Then the girl grabbed her water bottle, left it on the table, and put on her headphones.
She put a playlist of Folk music to play on YouTube.

A few days ago, Littletato created a pink website for Júlia's story.
She became very happy with Littletato's present, she thought the website was beautiful, and thanked her.
Júlia was going to make the cover of the story in Photoshop after writing the first chapter.
Littletato made the website in the PHP programming language.
She created a function so that Júlia could write the chapters of the story locally when she opened the server.
The girl also sent the Python program she made to manage her stories called "Stories".
Júlia was using it to track how much time she spent writing, revising, or translating a chapter.
She started the program's timer and began writing the first chapter of the story.
The first chapter was going to be called "The Magical Portal and the Journey".
It told the story of how Lila found the portal to the enchanted world in her backyard.
Upon crossing it, she is transported to the Sugary Kingdom, where she feels she has finally found her place.
Having always loved sweets, which she found cute and delicious, now Lila can live alongside them and taste cultivated candies.
However, a shadow of concern arises when she realizes that the peace of the kingdom may be threatened.
Looking at the horizon, Lila sees a dark stormy sky forming over a distant city.
A chill through her spine invades her as she watches the menacing lightning strike the city.
High in the sky, she spots a huge black jelly hovering, casting an ominous shadow that covers the entire city.
Determined to explore, meet and protect her new friends, Lila prepares for an adventure full of challenges.

After about three hours of writing the chapter, Júlia had written one hundred and eighty lines and over two thousand words.
It was eleven thirty in the morning, and the girl was already hungry.
Júlia made a delicious lunch for her to eat, and ate it while re-watching an episode of the anime "Yuru Camp".
After that, she registered the time she ate on her phone and switched to cable television.
The girl started watching while sitting on the couch, with her feet propped up on the center table.
An advertisement appeared on the television, with a boy who was inside a spaceship with a microphone.
"Are you tired of your boring life?
Tired of working all day and having no time for fun?
If your answer is yes, then we have just the thing for you!

There's also another way to get a LonelyShip for free, but that method is more restricted..." said the boy in the ad.
It seemed that the boy was a resident of the network of spaceships, and it asked him to make an ad for Earth.
"Wow, SpaceLiving and LonelyShip... Those were the same words that I heard Littletato mention about her dream...
And I also heard those words before... Does this network truly exist?" Júlia wondered, intrigued.
The girl opened the SpaceLiving Network on her phone, where it said that the website was experiencing instability.
"Well, after the ad, the website must've received a lot of hits from people who wanted to subscribe...
Since it's a very tempting offer, and even free, hehe, I'll try again later..." said Júlia.
Júlia spent various minutes watching cable television, like movies and cartoons.
The girl was tired and turned down the volume on the television, lying down on the couch.
She closed her eyes and started to sleep, thinking about Littletato, the SpaceLiving Network, and the LonelyShips.
Júlia had fun dreams while she slept in the afternoon.
The most special thing was dreaming about being in the world of her story "The Adventure on the Sugary Kingdom", living adventures with Lila.
