As i swim with my parents, i can't help but sigh. Don't get me wrong, life as a whale? Great. Thousands of people come see us in groups, they protect us, they even try to swim with us. One time, someone even paid money to "adopt" me and get my picture. Luckily, they didn't take me from my real parents, though i have to remind them every once in a while that im not leaving them. See? It's great. It's just sometimes, i get sick of it. I mean, blue, blue, blue, coral, blue, blue, fish, yeah you get the idea. Sometimes I wish i was a bird and could fly wherever i want. Think of all the places i could see! As i think of flying, i drift upwards so i can blow water out. However, when i get to the surface, i keep going up! With my mouth gaping open in shock, i go higher. I can't believe it. I'm flying, i think to myself. This is the BEST DAY EVER! I see some birds and chase after them, going up, down, and around coral arches that are above the water. I didn't know birds were so fast. I look around, the view is better than i thought it would be. On one side theres waves that shine with the sun on them, the other side has a gorgeous beach with palm trees. As i look, i hear cawing. Looking in the direction of the sound, i see the birds. Perking up, i smile. They are going to let me fly with them! As they get closer though, i realize that they look furious. Uh oh. They start to crowd around me. Panicking, i turn around and fly as fast as i can away from them. They"re too fast, and in no time they"re caught up. I scream as they peck and scratch at me. I go in random patterns to try and lose them. It seems as if even more of them have come. OPAL! I look down and see my parents. Of course! If i can just get to them and the water i will be safe, birds can't swim. Yes, but whales aren't supposed to fly either. Sometimes i hate my brain. My parents call out my name aagain. I dive, and the birds follow. I am almost to the water whe- OPAL!!! I wake with a start. Wait, i was sleeping? It was a dream! Oh goodness, it felt so real. "Opal, you"ve been asleep for too long, and you need to get some water out," my mother says. My father grabs my hand and pulls me to the surface. I cringe, but allow him to lead me. I let out a breath of relief when we don't go farther than the surface. "Are you ok?" my parents ask. "Yes, it was only just a really realistic dream," i tell them. "Nothing to worry about." They nod, and we head home. I decide that flying is over-rated.
