    Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Kayla.  She lived in a cabin with her parents on the coast of California.  One Friday she found a beautiful card on her pillow.  It said she was invited to a party under the sea!  The party would be on the next Saturday at 5 PM.

    So, the next day, she put her beautiful pink dress and a princess party hat in several layers of grocery bags and announced to her parents that she would be going to the beach and would be home before curfew.  Her parents said that was fine, and she went out on the short hike from her cabin to the beach.  

    Once at the beach, she went to the bathroom, changed into her party clothes, hid her casual clothes, and went out to the beach.  Kayla wasn't sure how she would get to the party, but as she thought for a moment, she decided to do the only thing she could think to do, and she walked into the water.  

    As she went in, she found that she had an air bubble around her head that allowed her to breathe under water!  She walked confidently down the steep incline to the party.  She walked about half a mile, and soon she could see a great palace, with mermaids and seahorses and many other beautiful aquatic things.  The palace looked like it was a cross between the Taj Mahal and the Greek building on Mount Olympus, so it was very pretty and very large.

    Kayla was greeted by several colorful mermaids, who invited her to go and see the palace.  Kayla loved the palace!  The floor was made of marble, and the walls were made of crystals and sea shells and many glittery things that cast colored beams of light through the room.  Outside there was happy music.  When she had finished touring the Taj Mahal/Greek building, she danced with magical seahorses to the beat of the cheerful tunes.  

    After just 3 hours and 45 minutes of partying, Kayla looked at the time and realized that she needed to go home immediately!  Curfew was at 9 PM, and Kayla knew that if she did not get home before then, she would be grounded for life.

    Kayla walked the half-mile up the coast and emerged from the shore, her dress wet.  As she came out, two boys who were playing with a beach ball stopped to stare at her.  How often did one get to see a little girl in a pink dress and princess party hat emerge from the sea, soaking wet, on the coast of California?  Kayla hurriedly walked to the bathroom to change into the clothes she had left the house in and put her wet clothes back into the plastic grocery bag.

    When Kayla got home, it was 10 minutes past curfew.  Kayla tried to run up to her bedroom in hopes of tricking her parents into thinking she had, in fact, gotten home on time, but her parents were waiting for her in the kitchen.  They approached her before she could escape to her bedroom.  Kayla tried to pass her tardiness off, telling her parents that she had been playing at the beach and had lost track of time, but her parents saw her wet pink dress through the bag, and so they knew that Kayla was lying.  She, they knew, had been at a party.  So, for going to a party without her parent's consent, breaking curfew, and lying, Kayla was grounded for life.  Kayla did NOT live happily ever after, but her parents did!!
