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.

Underwater

One blue moon in a gloomy forest there were dry sticks lying on the ground. The trees had scary faces on them. Just then a dog jamp out of the trees and landed on a twig, the sound it made was SNAP! He ran out of the forest onto the beach, he could hear a noise that sounded like splash and then again splash so he ran to the sound. It was an octopus splashing the water. In the distance he could see a mermaid on a rock. The dog jamp into a brown, wooden boat that was on the beach. He pushed the boat into the sea and rowed away to the mermaid. The sea was bumpy, rough and there were lots of bits of drift wood but the dog got there after all. The mermaid said I know where there is an underwater kingdom. The dog said I can’t breathe under water, the mermaid giggled she said “of course you can” the dog shacked his head. The mermaid said hold my hand then you can breathe.  So they went under water the dog could see the kingdom they were mermaids and mermen he could fell slime seaweed the seaweed was riling. Were a village and a castle in the castle they were a king the king the king shouted out load to the dog. The king said go to the dungeon.  Then he claimed his voice. The dungeon had mossy bits on the walls, there was an old mermen. The dungeon had a room.  He went in the room the dog smelled smoke and he felt hair it was an old man it was not a merman he was smelting swords and axes. Before the dog leapt out of the dungeon, the dog replied I saved a mermaid it was your daughter. The king shouted will you go home now the dog said is there an evil monster around here? The king said there is an octopus. The dog swam up to the octopus the octopus was not there the octopus was hidden him. He talked to the octopus the octopus was trying to be friends with the mermaid. So everything was ok so then the dog went to the forest and back home he loved playing with the mermaids but he loved his owner because the play ball not sewed but the dog loved any of it.
