30th of December of my 15th Year
It's been so long since I've written. I've been kept so busy with the Neptune ball. About two weeks ago, Sebastian told me that I'm going to be Neptune's bride! I'm only 15! That kinda thing only comes around only when you are older, getting ready to get married. Sure I'll be marrying age in a few months but couldn't they have gotten Atina to do it or something? Honestly. So I've been getting ready for that for the last two weeks. I've hardly had time to go human hunting or anything.
I had no clue though, how much Neptune's bride had to do. They have to prepare a speech commending Neptune and what he did for us. Neptune did a lot. He lived for two thousand years before turning to sea foam and joining the other merpeople. No wonder why they call him God of the Sea. In some areas, he was called Poseidon. I've had to listen to countless lectures from Sebastian. Daddy also had a wrap around created for me made from sea-horse scales and corals holding everything together. It fits perfectly around my waist but it hides my tail which is sad but it's so pretty and kinda translucent so you know that I have a tail. Wouldn't it be cool to arrive at the ceremony with, oh what do you call them? Legs. I learned that from Scuttle the other day. A list of terms of Human, I think he called it, Anitonly.
Urchin is still having a hard time. I haven't seen him around lately, and it's worrying me. I see him now and then and when I say hi, or try to talk to him, he swims off. Why must mermen be so complicated. I hope he goes to the Neptune ball. It would be so much fun to get to hang out and listen to the music together.
Oh, I found a boramagigger. It's really cool. I can keep things in it no problem, they won't fall out all over the place. It's got some chips in the side. I have to be careful when I hold it I could really hurt myself. At least that's what Scuttle said. He's so smart. I wish I could be that smart.
I didn't mention the weirdest part of tomorrow's ball, have I? I didn't think so. I have a blind date, someone that's going to be masquerading as Neptune. To be honest, I kinda hope it's Monahonri. He's so cool. Yeah, he's not a human, but he's fun. He likes human things too. He's so amazing. Arista told Daddy I like him and now Daddy wants me to go out on a seadate with him.
I don't know if I want to. Think about it. What would end up happening after a seadate? Another seadate? Then another, and another, soon enough, we'll be engaged and he'll be in line for the next sea king. Adella isn't even married yet. Wow, I'm being a little dramatic. Oh well, it happens.
I need to go to sleep, I have so much to do tomorrow. The Neptune ball starts at low tide and goes way into the night.
