Okay, this is the new idea here.
We combine three things into a story. We can all suggest our own three things we can combine. I'm going to start us off with these three things:
1. A disastrous rocket launch
2. An angry cow
3. A toothpaste commercial
All these things must have a significant role in the story. I'll write my own later, cause I need to think of a good way to mix these together.

Okay, here's my story. I'm just going to wing it.
Dr. Joonbig prepared the rocket for the launch. Everything was going great! The engines were okay, the rocket was clean, there were no glitches, and it had plenty of fuel. He stood back to admire his creation.
The Dream Inferno 13. It was a beauty.
That is, until the next day. The launch was due to take place that morning, and all the astronauts got on the ship. Then, there was a loud "MOOOO!!!"
A cow was right outside the launch site, mooing loudly. "Get that animal out of here!" an astronaut shouted. "MOOO!!!" said the cow.
A few guards came and got rid of the animal. Then the launch began. "Liftoff in T-Minus 10 seconds... liftoff in T-Minus 9 seconds... liftoff in T-Minus 8 seconds... liftoff in T-Minus 7 seconds... liftoff in T-Minus 6 seconds...5... 4... 3... 2... 1... WE HAVE LIFTOFF!" The Inferno shot its way toward the heavens.
Or tried to, that is. The cow barreled in, a bunch of suction cups stuck to its hooves. "MOOO!!!" Then it began to climb on the rocket using the suction cups as it started to take off!
"It's that disastardly cow!" shouted Dr. Joonbig. "Get it out of here now!" But his prized rocket, his dream, what he spent years making, was plummeting toward the ground at high speeds. All the astronauts jumped out the window and parachuted out of the rocket. "MOO!!!" mooed the cow as the rocket plummeted to the ground with a bang and a KABOOM!
When the smoke cleared, the cow was, remarkably, okay! But really, REALLY, MAD for some reason. It chased after an astronaut, who was running as fast as he could. "MOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Then a bunch of police cars arrived. "Stop right there!" yelled an officer at the astronaut the cow was chasing. A farmer got out of the car. "Goosie!" he shouted at the cow. "You're okay!" The farmer ran over and petted the cow.
Meanwhile, the police were dealing with the astronaut, who was not really an astronaut but a teenage boy with a buzzcut. In his bag, he had a baby cow, a time bomb, and a bottle of the baby cow's saliva.
The police quickly defused the time bomb and handcuffed the boy. "Why did you take my little Goosie's calf?!" yelled the farmer. "I was inspired by a toothpaste commercial," said the kid. He held up his smartphone and played a video.
The commercial's announcer said, "Buy Super-Mint Toothpaste! It's easier than suicide bombing a rocket launch!"
"See, I wanted to do an experiment to see if that was true," explained the boy. "So I went and bought a tube of Super-Mint Toothpaste. I had to drive all over the state looking for it and then when I finally bought it, I found that it wasn't really very useful for cleaning your teeth. So then I proceeded to the second phase: suicide bombing a rocket launch, then deciding which was easier. I needed the calf's saliva to power the time bomb."
"Well, you can decide on the results of your experiment in jail," said the police officer. "Get in the car!" They shoved the boy into the police car. "Sorry about the launch," said the officer nicely to Dr. Joonbig. But it was no good. The good doctor was very sad. After so many years, his work had been ruined by a cow-kidnapping hooligan. He kicked a rock in frustration.
The next day, Dr. Joonbig called his mom and told her what happened. "I'm so sorry about that," she said. "But remember, Alexander Graham Bell didn't successfully invent the telephone the first time. You can always try again."
Dr. Joonbig thought of this, then concieved a new idea. A security system, to prevent more hooligans like that one from destroying his work. All sadness over the disaster gone, he began to work, confident in himself and his success.

A toothpaste commercial is a really bizarre source of suicide inspiration, now that I think about it.
Well this is high fantasy, the only reason I'm allowing this to stay posted.

Wait, Admin, what do you mean by "high fantasy" and how does it warrant you allowing it to stay posted?
I mean high fantasy as opposed to realistic. If there's any problem we still may edit. We want to encourage positive experiences.

What sort of problem do you mean that would warrant you Admins deleting/editing my story?
If anyone objects to any specific part as calling attention to something inappropriate for any of our readers.
