Bang! Bang! I wake up in a fish tank in my motel apartment. I get up and get me a Nutrient block
and a glass of water. I get ready for the grade opening for this town. I  am really not going to be
excited. Knock knock! There is some one at the door when I open. Bang! A camera flashes so I
get ready to go to fish mart, where all the fish go to go shopping  for food and clothes, so I get my
shirt on and jump in my car.

Errrr! I hit the brakes so I need to be quick before the grade opening. I quickly race to the door
grabbing whats on my shopping list. Shivering shudders! I only have 15 minutes left! I quickly
race to the self fish out and scan my items and swim as fast as a shark. I quickly unpack all of
my shopping bags. I get some better clothes on and jump in my seamoth car to race to the front
of the town. The sheriff is there, ready for his speech.

I quickly get in my spot with the sheriff. I feel as slow as a sloth then I just freeze. I hope
this is over soon.
