7 am in Ocean Park.

Queen Annabelle opened her greenblue eyes and looked straight into the worried face of her youngest ,brightest but not the beautifullest of all her mermaid daughters ,Lady Sara.

Lady Sara in her room so early could only mean trouble and so the Queen adjusted her long tail , combed her fingers through her long tangled seaweed hair and rang the little shell by her bed of pearls.

A pretty fish swam in and put down the mother of pearl bowl with fresh sea water for the Queen to sip from.

So, said the Queen to her littlest one, what seems to be the problem today ?

Ah Mama,I knew you’d forget !! Today is Miss Pearls birthday !!! And we haven’t planned anything at all ! The Queen smiled and gave her a big big hug and said , I haven’t forgotten at all ! Then she pulled our her waterproofed Sea - pod , touched the mega screen and OMG …here was a full on rock show !!

Lets see said the Queen , we are inviting the whole school of fish all zillion of them and on stage will be the 5 of you.Alex can forget his karate moves for today and forget about running track in the evening and he can work out playing the drums instead ! Besides he’ll look real good in his sparkle suit , so every time he makes those magic moves , he’ll disappear !Besides he can keep an eye on Bobby the chubby . Otherwise he’ll trip over his feet and all the wires on stage and that’ll be the end of the show ! But you know , Bobby is a real sweetheart , he is so gentle and so kind that even when all of you yell at him , he just smiles ! I love that boy !Lady Sara clapped her hands and said , oh yes and the whole school loves him too, he’s forever saving one of them from ugly fishing boats .We’d better tell Sir Harry right now , he loves to be a part of all the planning , must be his army training ! Besides he ‘s always so beautifully dressed , we must give him enough notice so he can find some mag thing to wear on stage ! And no one will dare fool around or create mischief when he is there, so I will have no worries tonight .

Isnt it perfect that it is Princess Pearl’s birthday ? She so loves to dress up . It also helps that she’s so good looking !Yes Mama, she also dances so well , she’s been learning salsa and oooh can she move ! Bet all the boys will be lining up for a dance !

Not all the boys my bright beautiful one . There are boys who like girls who are intelligent and have answers to all sorts of things. No one else in the entire ocean has 1 million terabyte memory Sara, and besides who better to be the next queen than you , who knows every little bubble and shell under the ocean.You have a mind like no other and a smile like no one else .So , go on, get ready . It’s a big day today and even having fun needs a lot of hard work ! .
