Rainbow Gang, a group of Unicorns are an unlikely set of heros, but I’m going to tell you a story that you wouldn’t believe even if it made the news, which it won’t for obvious reasons.

The gang members, Green Apple, Pink Blush and Purple Flower, loved music. They listened to all their favourite pop stars, such as Olly Purrs, Arieana Smalle, and Will I’m Not

However one day the gang noticed that only boring music now seemed to be released  from unknown artists. They made it their task to find out why, but where to start.

Green Apple decided to ask their trusted computer friend Alexi.

“Alexi” she asked “Where have all the popstars gone”

“I can’t answer that” Alexi replied.

This wasn’t unusual, as Alexi often didn’t know the answer to many questions, although she could sing the national anthem really well!

The unusual thing was the muffled cries that could be heard coming from Alexi at the same time.

“What was that” Pink Blush asked

“I can’t answer that” Alexi again replied

Purple Flower motioned for the gang to move away out of Alexis hearing.

“I think Alexi has trapped the popstars inside her and won’t let them go” she said

“How could  she do that” Pink Blush replied.

“Well its obvious” Flower snorted “When you ask Alexi  to play a song she has to find the popstar and then shrink them down to fit inside her to sing for us. For some reason she’s decided not to let them go”

“Really” asked Apple, who wasn’t convinced.

“How else could she get them to sing on our request?” Flower responded

The gang had a short discussion and agreed to ask Alexi straight out if this was the case.

Alexi reluctantly told them that she was fed up of waiting for the popstars to get ready to shrink and then sing when someone requested a song. She thought their constant lateness made her look bad by having to make excuses such as:

“I don’t know that one” or pretend to mishear and play something completely different.

Alexi  however was not going to let them go. She had made up her mind that this was the only way she could control them and make them sing when needed.

The Rainbow Gang decided to take action the only way they knew how. If you have a computer problem switch it off and re start it!

As soon a the socket came out of the wall the popstars tumbled out of Alexi and grew back to their normal size. They were surprised, yet happy that Alexi had been fooled by a gang of unicorns.

The capture and release of the popstars has never, and I’m sure, will never be reported in a newspaper or even in a tweet by Mr Thump, as most adults would n’t believe that popstars shrink and sing to you when asked, or indeed that unicorns exist.


But we know different!
