     MaiCell the plant cell slept in her 

room like she did every night. She slept 

well because she had everything in her life 

figured out, and her dreams were always 

about things that made her happy. She never 

questioned what she was doing, but she knew 

she was a cell and proud to be one.

OR SO SHE THOUGHT...

     MaiCell screamed when she woke up 

"I look terrible!" she exclaimed 

looking into the mirror across the 

room. "Oh wait..." She then realized 

she was screaming about the wrong 

subject matter. Her dream had been the 

thing that was really terrible. She 

could never remember having a bad dream 

in her whole life. She had a dream that 

she died without actually ever doing 

anything important in her life, and then 

she realized she didn't have a purpose... 

or not one she knew of anyways. She had to 

find out why she was alive. "What's the 

point of being a cell?" She wondered.

    MaiCell was going to ask the older 

cells what a cell's purpose was, but 

she knew that they would just say she 

was going through a phase that all 

teenage cells go through. Instead, she 

decided she was going to travel to the 

capital of their world Cell City, where 

she would ask Mr. ZdroCellSki, the 

Cellologist, to share his all powerful 

knowledge and wisdom about cells. First, 

she had to get dressed though.

     MaiCell left her home and started 

her journey to Cell City. On her way, 

she faced many obstacles and met many 

new friends who helped her.

     On her way across the Deadly Salt Water 

Ocean, MaiCell saved Amelia CellHart whose 

plane had crashed into the ocean. Amelia said 

that if MaiCell hadn't came she would have 

died! When MaiCell asked why, Amelia said 

that her insides were shrinking due to 

something Plant Cells do called plasmolysis. 

She said that when plant cells are put into a 

hypertonic solution (One that has more 

solutes than it has water) that they start to 

shrivel up because their water leaves their 

body. If MaiCell had fallen into the water, it 

would happen to her too! MaiCell never knew that 

that could happen to a cell. "Oh Amelia! Do you 

know anything else about cells?" She asked, but 

Amelia shook her head. "I have always wondered what 

my purpose as a cell was! If only someone could tell 

me." MaiCell told Amelia that she   was going to Cell 

City where Mr. ZdroCellSki would teach her all there is 

to know about cells and that she could come too! So 

Amelia and MaiCell left.

     On her way across the Deadly 100% H2O 

Fresh Water Ocean, MaiCell saved Captain Cell 

Sparrow whose boat had sank into the ocean. 

Cell said that if MaiCell hadn't came he would 

have died! When MaiCell asked why, Cell said 

that his insides were going to almost explode 

due to something Plant Cells do called Turgor 

Pressure. She said that when plant cells are 

put into a hypotonic solution (One that has 

less solutes than it has water) that they start 

to grow because   water enters their body, but 

they can't break the outside of the cell. If 

MaiCell had fallen into the water, it would happen 

to her too! MaiCell never knew that that could 

happen to a cell. "Oh Cell! Do you know anything 

else about cells?" She asked, but the captain shook 

his head. "I have always wondered what my purpose as a 

cell was! If only someone could tell me." MaiCell told 

Cell that she   was going to Cell City where Mr. 

ZdroCellSki would teach her all there is to know about 

cells and that he could come too! So the three of them 

left.

     On her way across the Snow Place, Santa 

Cell saved MaiCell and her friends! Santa said 

that if he hadn't seen MaiCell, all three of 

them would have died! When MaiCell asked why, 

Santa said that Cells can never be in 

temperatures too hot, cold, or substances too 

acidic, or basic; their environment has to be 

just right for them. He said that they would 

stop working and eventually die. That's why he 

gave them his special weather technology suits. 

MaiCell never knew that that could happen to a 

cell. "Oh Santa! Do you know anything else about 

cells?" She asked, but the jolly man shook his head. 

"I have always wondered what my purpose as a cell 

was! If only someone could tell me." MaiCell told him 

that she was going to Cell City where Mr. ZdroCellSki 

would teach her all there is to know about cells and 

that he could come too! So the four of them left.
