My Invisible Friends (Imaginary But Real) 3

BAHAMAS!

May 14

I slept squished up next to Madeline, and when I woke up, her feet were in my face. Then she turned back around. We had breakfast on the lido deck, and my breakfast was huge! I even had a giant slice of apple pie that probably weighed at least a pound. That means I probably weigh another pound, too.

We all got off the ship when we docked at the Bahamas! We walked around and there was a hair braiding station, so some of us got our hair did. (Marina, Brienna, and Erica did, too.) We had cute little braids in our hair. I'd been stupid and forgotten my cash, so one of the adults offered to pay for it and give me 5 $20 bills. Then the lady that did my hair said it would be $24, but she didn't have change to give back so she just let me pay $20.

We went to some little stores and I bought two t-shirts (one for me and one for my mom), and other people were getting t-shirts as well. Then at another store I got a keychain with my name on it that was solar-powered, and a small glass turtle with different colors that said "Nassau, Bahamas" for Sheri.

We finally made it to the beach, which was very pretty. The water was cold when we first got in, and we could see an island all the way across the water. It was so fun swimming in the ocean and having such a nice view! I swam with Brienna and also with some of our other friends. The water wasn't as cold anymore.

Also, that princess Madeline told me about, who I'd seen the day before, was on the beach with us. I knew she liked Bronson, and he seemed to like her. She had curly, red hair and was very pretty. Her name was Anneleise Evangeline. The reason I didn't push her off the boat into the ocean was because I knew Bronson and I wouldn't be able to stay together forever, and eventually I would have a "real" husband, and would not be able to stay with Bronson, so I figured it was a good thing that Bronson was with Anneleise. Plus, I'm probably too fat for Bronson anyway.

We kept swimming in the ocean and I sat on the shore getting knocked back by the waves with Karilee. She was so happy, but a couple of minutes before that, she had been mad because when she told Katie she was in her way, Katie told her she was a very rude little girl and walked off. Bree had heard and threatened to tell Destiny, but she saw Dolly first so she told her. Dolly came over to Karilee and we sat in the waves together. Then Isica came waddling over there and Karilee wanted her to sit there so she could show her the waves. The girls were so adorable, squealing whenever they would fall backwards with the waves.

I swam with Monica and later I swam with Nori and Ms. Scarletissa, who had been playing tennis on the beach over the volleyball net. Ms. Scarletissa told Ms. Dolly as we were swimming about how much she hated Stacey, who wasn't even there. Now, here we were in the Bahamas, swimming in the beautiful ocean under the bright sun with palm trees and an island to look at, and Ms. Scarletissa was talking about Stacey and how much she hated her and how she refused to call Mrs. Stacissa "Staci" because it reminded her of that dumb woman.

Some of us got drinks in coconuts. Mine was a Bahama Mama, and so was Madeline's. It was so cool to get drinks in coconuts in the Bahamas! I wished I could eat the coconut, too.

We swam a little longer and I had Karilee, holding her. I had planned to sit and read my book by the oceans but the dang pages were wet, and I hate reading wet books.

A lady came by with handmade jewelry, so me and a few of the girls in my class got some. I got a pretty pink and silver necklace.

We departed the beach and walked back to the boat. It was past lunchtime so the buffet was closed. The burger station was still open, though! Yes, they had a burger station on the boat.

Later, around 5:00, Demarrah and I sat in chairs on the top deck, and we were looking at our surroundings. Next to Carnival Fantasy there was a Disney ship (Disney Dream) which was a little higher than ours, and their water slide was gigantic! It was at least two times bigger than our slide! We watched people go down it. Their slide was in a clear tube, so they could go down the slide and have a view of our boat and the ocean!

Demarrah and I watched as the ship started moving and their horn honked. Not just any old boat honk- it was four different honks, to the tunes of four different Disney songs! It was way cool (and very loud).

Dolly brought Karilee up to the deck and left her with us, and I took Karilee on our water slide. Demarrah didn't want Karilee to go on that slide at first (she wanted her to go on the kiddie one), but when we got to the tip of the stairs, Demarrah told Karilee to hold on to me tightly as we were going down, and Karilee did. She had her arms around my neck and was screaming and squealing.

The formal dinner in at Jubilee was soon, and we had to dress up. It was such a nice dinner! Ms. Dolly was dressed so beautifully and she had her hair curled with a tiara in it. I bet Brennan thought his fiancé was gorgeous. She looked like a princess!

We went swimming at night again. I was with Brienna, Erica, Karilee, Ms. Dolly, Brennan, Bronson, Life, Zoey, Bree, Mady, Katie, and Neva. Bree got mad when Katie came to the pool and kept telling her to get out. Katie wouldn't, and Bree slapped her in the water. So Katie retaliated and attacked her, pushing her underwater, looking like she was trying to strangle her. Ms. Dolly jumped in the water on tip of Katie and pulled her off of Bree. Then Dolly made Katie get out of the pool and Katie was p*ssed off. Bree kept claiming that Katie had tried to kill her.

Then Madeline got mad when she and Dolly were discussing how Martissla had had a baby with Joseph, and Ms. Dolly was all surprised that Martissla had a kid with him, and Madeline said, "You've had sex with Joseph!" and Ms. Dolly went, "So did you," and Madeline got out of the pool, saying, "He forced me." So we didn't see Madeline the rest of the night.

Then Ms. Dolly was annoyed at these dumb, drunk people with scribbles all over their faces who were yelling and pushing each other into the pool and chasing each other all around the lido deck, and Ms. Dolly didn't want us in the same pool as them. I mean, one man was standing there shaking his junk. He had swim trunks on, of course, but if he had been nude, it would've been bad. Ms. Dolly told me and Zoey, "I don't want my little girls seeing that. Y'all are too young." She treats us like we're little, and she acts like a big sister to everyone. It's just that I'm her favorite.

Dolly and I went up to the room and were freezing cold, so we took turns in the warm shower. She still had her bathing suit on and we kept taking turns getting in the shower. She was getting aggravated that I wouldn't get out and take turns because she was standing there freezing. I put my bathing suit back on and we stayed in there together in our swimsuits. We're crazy, but at least we were warm.
