The Tail of Audrey and Aryella

Audrey

 I just did the most childish thing! What? Well since I bothered to tell you I might as well give you details, today I FAINTED!!! Well miss... I'm sorry I didn't catch your name, and I are even, and YES I did have a good reason for it, what is that reason? Well ummm... It might have been the fact that I...

FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE A TWIN SISTER!!!!!!!!

And not just any twin sister an IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER!!!!! (Well that reason and the fact that I haven't slept for a few days.)

(In case you haven't caught on I'm a super big drama queen, even though I've been nice to Dad because I understand he's been having a rough time, and why.)

At the surface it felt weird turning back into a human, my tail started to shake and my "gills" were closing up into nonexistence and my tail shimmered back into legs (which felt weird, I don't think I'm going to get used to walking for a while). That's when I realized I was completely DRY!!! Then I realized I forgot to take my iPod out of my bathing suit bottoms.

"NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!" I screamed, "My Baby my beautiful, beautiful baby!"

I rubbed it and realized it dried with me. My tantrum drew some attention and I waved it in the air, "Dropped it in the water!" After that they stopped staring. Aryella stood beside me.

"Come on!" she whispered "let's go see Dad."

Her voice startled me, I thought that she was in the water still a mermaid, but there she was, wearing my leggings.

"Why are you wearing my leggings, didn't you have something under your tail?" I snapped, I'm sorry I couldn't help it.

"AUDREY SONDRA! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING LEAVING THE BOAT LIKE THAT?!" Dad rarely uses his voice at all so I knew I was in big trouble when he used his you're-so-in-trouble! Voice. Of course I dealt with it easily, like I always do.😁.

"You're right dad! Unacceptable! Now could you get me another pair of pants, someone borrowed the ones I had!" I called in my sweetest I-won't-do-it-again-I'm-sorry-for-doing-it-in-the-first-place voice. And of course it worked like a charm.😃.

As we were walking to the boat (I was sneakily hiding what's-her-name behind me and she whispered in my ear, "Where are the pockets in these things?" I was surprised she knew what pockets are. Then she said, "I'm used to having pockets to store my things in."

"Where exactly do mermaids have their pockets?" I asked uncomfortably.

"They're on the side of a mermaids tail, I thought you knew that."

That's when I fainted again, okay, almost fainted. So that's where my iPod was when I was a mermaid. Nice to know because I went 3 whole days without inspirational music, and those three days were the days I needed it the most.
