The next day I was in my room reading when Azure came bursting through my bedroom door like a built. "Oh good, you're still alive thank the gods" "yeah why wouldn't I be Azure" "cause of what happened yesterday" "the whole city knows about it?" "yeah, people are talking about it a lot" "great!" I laid on my bed with the book on my face "The Adventures of Killarney Markal, reading this again?" "What? it's good" "you have been reading this since you got it when you were six" "your point being" "it's old" I snickered "yeah it is, my mom gave it to me" "and it's about adventures" "you know me so well Azure" "that is why we are friends" we laughed at that "hey want to meet up with Jay and Eric at the mall" "are they going to agree to go to the mall?" "They work there" "when did this happen" "yesterday" "Oh? I wonder why, just let me tell Evie". "Aunt Evie?" "yes dear?" my aunt and my dad were twins so they looked alike, I saw my dad in her, blond hair purple eyes... "Yes, Oceania?" "Azure and I are going to the mall" "ok, but you be safe" "I will" "no you will promise me you will be safe" I sighed and looked at her "I promise I'll be safe" "ok, have fun".

We met Jay and Eric at the model store, we looked at the store then look at each other "you say they got these jobs yesterday" "yap" "I think I know why". "Oceania" Jay waved his hand to get my attention, "hey" he held up a blue shell dress with gold lining. "Fifty percent discount" "Sorry I like teal not blue". "Oh yeah" "red dress for me lady" Eric hand Azure a red dress that cut off at underneath her breast with golden swirls on it "perfect" she grabbed it and hugged him. "Sorry Oceania " Jay said rubbing the back of his neck "it's ok Jay I will just look around and you can pay for it" "ok....wait what" Eric laughed and ran into the king. "Sorry your highness, what can I do for you" My wife needs a new dress for my son's birthday ball" "What would she like to have?" "She wants the colors blue and gold here are her sizes" "I will let you know when it is here". "Thank you" he looked at me then he left."What about this one" "no to small" "this one" "too big" "girl you are picky" "the breast sizes is not right" I look over and see a teal dress with silver lining pick it up and look in the mirror. It took a while but I saw it. "Man that goes with your tail" "hey Eric" "yeah Oceania" "how much is this" "sixty dollars" "What if I save you dance or too" "I thought Jay was paying for it" "I was joking" "then it's twenty" "here" I swam into the dressing room. I came out with the dress on and it was just the right size and it went perfectly with my dark blue tail. "Well" "girl you look sexy!" "is it because it shows my stomach to much" "no, you just rock that outfit" "of course she does Eric". I changed back into my tank top then we went to lunch. "So you girls excited for the ball" "yes" Azure squealed "I guess," I said with boredom in my voice. "And she rather be reading" they said in unison "you all know me so well". I hated the thought of getting dressed up for the king and his family....they scare me. I want to go explore more of the ocean "I don't like going to parties even if it is for the royal family" "hey Eric our lunch break is over" "ok, see you ladies later" Eric and Jay were brothers but Eric was the oldest by two years, he had black hair and red eyes, Jay had brown eyes and black hair, they both had tail mixed with black and red scales. We got to my house and my x-Juan was in the kitchen talking to my Aunt.

"Want do you want Juan" "I can't come to vist?" "no, what does never want to see you again don't you get" "hey I am the prince's best friend" " meaning?" "I can get you a dance with him" "no, now get out". I felt a lump climb up my throat. "Whatever you want sweetheart" "don't call me that". I went upstairs with tears in my eyes. Last time I went to a ball a completely humiliated myself...well Jaun made me humiliate myself. I hated it, I never went to another ball again till this one which I have to go to.
