Mr. Thicknose

Mr. Thicknose was a creature my father and I created when I was six years old. We made him on a game called Spore; which I used to love with all my heart. For the buddyworld competition, I thought I would bring my old imaginary friend to life in the real world, and this is what I got. I know my painting isn't very good, but I had a blast making it. This story goes along with Mr. Thicknose: One day -well not exactly a day since Mr. Thicknose was cruising through space in his convertible flying saucer- Mr. Thicknose was outside his home planet of Yeuckitoria running some errands when he stumbled upon a rather bright planet. He listened through his tele-sound to hear something really unusual... music, really great music he hadn't heard for ages. "Whirr wee ann err!" Mr. Thicknose exclaimed, which meant "A primitive world, this should be fun!". And so he flew down. When Mr. Thicknose landed, the locals took absolutely no notice of him like primitives usually would. He triggered his translators. "This planet still uses currency" he realized, "If I am to teach them the way of Spode, I better make some of it." The trouble with this world was that it wasn't designed for the Thicknose species and consequently he had a lot of trouble earning cash. He tried using his nose like he would in his ship: ceramics, carving, mechanics but nothing seemed to be his cup of tea. Until he found something very interesting only theorized about to his species... entertainment. Sure Thicknosed people would be entertained but only focusing and educational exercises, for instance they would listen to music in order to work more constantly. But this was entertainment that people gave up their earned money for in order to experience. This was completely foreign to Mr. Thicknose. There were three ongoing competitions: Buddy racers, Monster extravaganza and almost as if it was designed for Mr. Thicknose, The Aircraft Race! Mr. Thicknose immediately signed up for it. He piloted his Saucer through the race, things were going great until... His Saucer shutdown to start the new Mega-soft Doors update. "Oh no! The one error society will never get passed" Mr. Thicknose panicked. All because of that Mr. Thicknose came in second place, he was devastated. But he was surprised to be... congratulated for losing? In this world people respected each other and celebrated their achievements rather than focusing on their errors. Mr. Thicknose liked this model so much he decided to stay, a year later he decided to re-enter the competition... Do you think this time he will win?
