Answer 2

Answer 13

so i need to come up with an idea that needs to include the answer to all of those questions

Answer 16

oh okay, and thanks for helping me out so far:) i thought i'd have to close my question and suffer

Answer 17

Lol....you are very welcome! :) Maybe an alien or whatever you wanted left it's planet because nobody noticed it and it wanted to be famous so it traveled to a planet that wasn't occupied yet(earth) and created human beings out of soil and water.

Answer 28

i was thinking of changing the gender to a female and then its name could be Aileen

Answer 29

but pronounced as, "eye-leen"

Answer 30

Omg! That could work, hha!

Answer 31

Answer 32

okay so how did Aileen create humans, animals and plants

Answer 33

Haha, :) Aileen used water and breathed life into humans, we are mostly made of water

Answer 34

hmm or aileen couldve accidentally split the water onto a magical stone which had magical powers

Answer 35

and somehow life was created, i have no idea ..lol

Answer 36

Yes! You should do that. :) Humans are made of nature and water?

Answer 37

yeaaa and the stone could resemble the bones of our skeletal system

Answer 38

but im not 100% sure about the plants and other animals

Answer 39

Maybe animals are the humans that she messed up in creating?

Answer 40

yea the stone couldve gotten upset and turned invisible once she went to discover more about the earth

Answer 41

or her planet got corrupt and all the aliens fell down to earth and through the atmosphere, they turned into animals
