One dark and gloomy day a boy named Billy a girl named Ivy with a magic dog called Maxamus went on a giant smooth blue boat. They sailed across the wet shimmery sea. Until… a annoying orange octopus made a hole in the bottom of the boat and a mermaid went in the boat and it sank down to the bottom of the sea .The mermaid said sorry to Billy, Ivy and Maxamus “it’s ok but can you show us a place we can stay?” said Billy and Ivy. “There is a hotel called sand-wick across the street or you could stay with me?”Said the mermaid called Summer. “We will stay here at the hotel but every morning come and see us, ok?” Barked Maxamus “Ok” said Summer.

“How did Maxamus talk?” said Summer.

“He’s a magic dog!” said Billy and Ivy. “Let’s go!” They all said at once. When they got to the hotel it was yellow and made of hard sand, but when they got in it was just the life. But then it struck midnight so they thought they’d better go to bed. When they got up the stairs they saw their room it looked warm and so comfy. Billy on top bunk with a blue

, Ivy went on a cabin bed and Maxamus slept on a magic carpet. When it turned morning Summer swam up to their room and knocked on the door and said “Hi it is Summer the mermaid!” Said Summer. Opened the door. “Morning come in!” said Maxamus, frightened.

“Why are you so scared?” asked Billy and Ivy.

“Sharkkk!” said Maxamus.

“Stay in the hotel and be quiet, ok? said Summer.

“Yes we will.” replied Ivy and Billy. When the shark was gone Summer said “you’d better go home.”

“We should probably go home… but we could visit you again!” they all said at the same time.

“Bye bye!” they all said. The next day Billy made a new boat and they are still sailing to this day.

One day they was a dog called Bob that was in the woods he smelt perfume of beautiful flowers. He walked until SNAP! It was a dry twig. Bob was scared. He walked a bit more. He saw the sea he went in a boat. Then an octopus came along and crashed the boat. Then a mermaid came along in the distances “Jump on my back” said the mermaid. So Bob jumped on her back. The mermaid took him underwater.  “I am going to take you underwater” said the mermaid. It had treasure and diamonds. It had lots of mermaids. Bob did not like swimming but he wanted some of the diamonds and treasure. He saw an underwater cafe that had air. But the mermaid wanted to show him something else under the water. He found an old boat that was rough and it sunk. “Who lives in this boat?” said Bob “I live in here” said the mermaid. “Come inside” said the mermaid. The dog saw a statue it was a carving of the mermaid’s dad. The mermaid touched him he came alive. “Hi” said the mermaid. This is Bob said the mermaid. “Hi” said Bob. So the mermaid and Bob went too. He saw the octopus in the café eating a cheesy burger. Bob told the mermaid that they would both be friends. “Bye” said the dog so he went to run back to the forest the mermaid watched him go. So he went through the forest.

There was a dog named Misty. She was always finding ways to keep clean. Every step she took, she led a trail of silver, shimmering, glitter. That’s how people could tell where she had been. Her coat was the most beautiful thing; shiny, gold, priceless. She went for a gentle walk and found herself on an old, yet full of life, looking beach. There were lots of wood and seaweed washed up from the wavy sea. The fresh air from the sea smelled wonderful. She found a painted boat with paddles and thought she could have a go at making shu shi (even though he had never done it before). The paddles were multi-coloured and were a bit too long for the dog. He left the noisy beach and paddled away. When he got going there was a big storm, there was a whirlpool forming, thunder and lightning, blasts of wind…. but then, all that stopped. In-front of the boat there swam a mermaid called Jessica. Her hair was a lovely pink, her scales on her tail were glimmering in the sun and she had a beautiful singing voice. She said as softly as ever,

“Jump in the water, I will show you a special underwater kingdom for mermaids and mermen”.

“Misty said No, my coat will get all wet and I can’t breathe underwater!”

“Well if you eat this leaf of the plant of magic then you can breathe underwater.”

“I can’t. Can you smell my magic?  See the glitter, feel my coat? Do you recognise me? I am Enchansia, Zamzar’s puppy but Misty’s my nickname. I can’t go because if I did, my magic would turn black”.

“No I cannot accept that, I was sent here by the ocean rulers to get you down here. They need you, we all need you”. If you don’t come I will put a curse on you.

“I will come and risk getting itchy skin and my magic safe.” So she did. She leapt out the boat, ate the leaf and sank. She swam as far down as she could and then she reached an underwater water kingdom. She saw lots of hidden treasure, ruby, diamond and emerald jewels, treasure chests and big diamond castles. It felt like she was having a dream. Misty lost Jessica on the way but found her standing next to a merman that looked like the king. He said with a very strong voice “WHAT IS THIS DOG DOING HERE?” Misty looked confused, she was invited and almost forced to come. She couldn’t refuse so why was he cross. Jessica said “She followed me here father, I told her not to but she didn’t listen” Misty was trying to swim up to the surface but the bad magic was inside her. She had some dust so she splashed it over her and swam fast because the dust might run out. She got up to the boat and rowed back to shore. Misty’s friend Whiskers was looking for cats at the shore and spotted Misty. He took her to her home and helped her to recover.
