Today Lizzie and I are going shopping! You are probably wondering "Ebony how are you going to where another dress over the mermaid top thing". First of all, it's calked a corset, and second of all I can just put my dress over it duh! I mean if it's called a corset it would probably work as a corset, right? Anyways, I knew exactly what I wanted. Just kidding I was screwed! So I focused on Lizzie, duh! She refused to wear heels, so we came to an agreement on those high converse things, and I was going to wear ancle boots. I finally decided on a dress.

I promised Lizzie I wouldn't have a date, so she wouldn't be alone at the party. I got a call from Melody while Lizzie and I were at the food court. She said she was coming. "I still don't know why you invited her and her idiot mom" Lizzie blurted out. "Her dad's coming too" I reminded her.
"I don't care! She's like 12, and probably planning to sabatoge us"

"She's 13 and seems like a nice girl" I said.

"I don't go by what seems to be I go by biology"

"Predators aren't real anymore Lizzie"

"Frickin' quote Zootopia again see what happens. Besides there is no peace! People call me a bad excuse for a princess. Don't worry this is just a burger YOU CAN STOP STARING AT ME NOW!" Lizzie yelled. The whole food court was staring at us. I laughed. "Guys guess what? My dad has a dark tail and he's not dangerous!" Me and Lizzie were laughing until this security guard said "I'm going to have to ask you to leave" "What did we do" I asked. "Violation of people's enjoyment" He said. "This is the mall not fricking school!" Lizzie said. "Miss I'm going to need to ask you to watch your language" "Oh I'll show you language" I pulled Lizzie back. "I'm sorry sir, but I am not only a dark mermaid, but a black mermaid an I'm proud of it" I said it. "Proud of being a delinquent" He asked me. "DELINQUENT!? I'VE NEVER BROKEN A LAW IN MY LIFE!" I yelled. "Now you're lying. I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I will have to use force" He said. I was in tears now."I'm not lying. I can prove it. I have no criminal record. It's not fair that you judge me by the color of my tail. Or is it my skin color? Please don't make me leave I didn't do anything!" Lizzie was dragging me out at this point. When I looked on YouTube that night I was known as crazy dark mermaid. I cried myself to sleep. They had no proof I was lying. The next day my teacher Language Arts teacher was so mad that she skipped English, and talked about the history of mermaids. The next day I woke up early to help Lizzie with the Ball. She said that her and her pack saw Mrs. and Mr. Smith and when they saw the scene of Brad and Angelina Pitt at the party when they tried to kill each other they said "That's it!". It looked like a normal party I don't see what is "it". When I got there Olivia told me to post movie posters on this wall and that wall. " Wait you never told me the theme!" I reminded her. "The theme is Red Carpet" She was going to give all the royal brats awards such as "Best Queen". After awhile we had a break and I said
"OK this is a disaster. Were you paying attention to the decorations at my Sweet 16 birthday party?"

"All I was paying attention to was the food bar" she responded. I sighed "I know this is your party, but as your friend and a face of equality I'm taking over. We will need help though" Lizzie brought the her whole pack here. "Oscar, you and Lizzie hang posters. Gregory, you and Brittany focus on the entrance" I said giving orders. Greg sighed. Brittany had a crush on him which caused her to show off a lot. Whenever Greg rejected her - which was often - we would often find her later making out with someone. Lizzie hated her. Brittany kept asking Lizzie if Greg liked her, and Lizzie would often respond with "I don't know". One day she asked her and Lizzie said "Maybe he would like you if you weren't shoving your tongue down everyone's throat and showing off!" Brittany scoffed and walked away. After an hour everyone was done and it looked awesome. I had to teach everyone etiquette for like the 10th year! I also gave everyone jobs.
"Me and Olivia agreed to be the DJs, Oscar would be the Bouncer, Greg would be the announcer along with Brittany"

"Why do you always pair me up with her! She flirts with me than goes and makes out with other people. She shouldn't even be invited!"

"Well maybe I'm heartbroken" Brittany shot back.

"Take a hint Brittany! You're not the leader!
He doesn't have to like you! It might sound cheesy, but be yourself! If this is you check yourself before you wreck yourself! Have you ever heard You only no you love them if you let it go, and if it's true love they will come back?" Lizzie said.

"Mind your own business princess" Brittany said.

"Oh, Do you want to say that to my fist?" Lizzie threatened.

"Sit down! Now I'm being nice to you guys for taking over, since you obviously can't do it yourself. How are you going to stop this history of fighting, if you guys can't even stop? I am younger than most of you, and I have to treat you like babies! Do you want me to turn into my mom?" I asked. Everyone shook their head. "Alright then. Oscar since you're good at tech you will tutor some people with lights
and sound" I saw Brittany shoot Lizzie a dirty look. "GET OUT!" I yelled.

"What?" She questioned.

"Get out! You know how I hate drama, so you're leaving, and Gregory will get a new partner. You can come to the ball, but you can't take credit for the decorations" I said.

"I'm sorry! I'll stop just don't make me leave! I'll change I'll be better! I won't ever forget you guys!" Brittany cried.

"OK now we can finish! Rachel you can work with Gregory. I'll teach the rest of you about etiquette, and then we'll work on the rest of the decorations. While I was teaching most of the pack about etiquette I had an idea. " Guys I know this is random, but I need your help. I need you guys to ignore Lizzie and Oscar. It may sound rude, but I promise I'll tell you guys during the ball. When you guys are done I want" I looked at the crowd. "You! Fern, right?" I asked. "Uh yeah" she responded.

"Tell me when Oscar is alone. Then somehow get him to walk towards the DJ's. Then when they bump into each other they socialize!" I said a little too loudly.

"Uhm OK" Fern said confused. We finished the decorations and it was almost time for the ball. Lizzie and I changed into our outfits. As I was straightening Lizzie's hair I said "So are you going to finally socialize?"

"You know how I feel talking to adults" She admitted.

"You are almost an adult! It might've worked when you were 11, but you are 16! Are you really going to trade your equality, because you're too shy?" I asked.

"Maybe. I don't even like humans" she protested.

"Well if you aren't going to do it for yourself do it for everyone else. It may sound harsh, but that is very stupid. You're letting two whole races of species be mistreated, because you're too shy to talk to some snooty adult. Every single day I ams stopped by a guard and I may look like I'm always happy, but it hurts"

"Why would it matter! It's my parents ball"

"Your mother is going to be there. She cut her business trip early for you! Do you still want to be known as that crazy shewolf on YouTube? People are getting killed. It may sound over exaggerated, but to them you are a furry excuse for a princess" I said.

"I'm sorry Lizzie, but I can't! It's so awkward being asked how school is and that crap!" She said.

"Fine! Let more people die! All because you're too afraid of conversation! Not because inequality, but because you're afraid of it being "awkward". You can kill bears and foxes, but whatever! Your hair is done!" I yelled. I left the cave and went to the party. Before the Ball I got Fern's number, so I texted her the plan was off.

Sorry no Diary Entry. It's just the chapter was so long! I'll post chapter 10 on Friday. Bye Felicia and Peace out Potatoes!
