"He was also drowning," Marla said. "Maybe he still had water in his eyes, or something." She was trying to sound hopeful about the whole thing, but she knew if the prince ever got a look at her now, he'd run away screaming, or something. Wanda looked at Marla, trying to figure out where to start. "First thing we have to do is get rid of those glasses. Holy moley, they're so thick, you can see into the future! And what possessed you to get those frames?" "These were the only ones that would fit the lenses." Marla was starting to lose her patience. Wanda, however, wasn't done. "Well, they're uglier than sin. And your hair—" "You're not exactly Miss Pacific either, you know," Marla interrupted, annoyed.
Wanda looked surprised. "Well pardon me all over the place, your majesty. I thought you wanted some help." "I want help, not a list of my faults," Marla muttered. "OK, OK, don't get your fins in a twist." She thought for a second, then looked back at Marla. "You know, this isn't exactly going to be free." "I can pay whatever you want, I hope." "Are you sure? Cause once you hear what I want, you may change your mind. You're probably going to think it's gross." "Grosser than looking in the mirror?" Marla raised her eyebrows. "Is that even possible?"
"OK, you asked for it. I want to date…your dad." "Ewwwww!" Marla screeched. "Your right, that is gross! Why? You and my dad? Are you drunk?" she demanded. "Heck, no," Wanda said. "He's the sexiest guy in the sea. And rich, too." "I'm going to be sick," Marla groaned. The idea that someone thought her dad was "sexy" was seriously disgusting. He was, but that didn't mean she liked to hear people talk about it. "Can we talk about something else? I just ate." "Nope. No date, no deal." Marla heaved a sigh. She really wanted to impress the prince. And her dad could use someone to spend time with. All he did was mope around the castle and talk to himself.
"OK," Marla agreed. "I'll see what I can do."
Sorry it's so short. I couldn't think of anything else to write, and I didn't even know that this story was still here, or even being read. If you have ideas, I would glad to hear them. I'm not exactly sure what to do next, so I'll end it here for now. Thanks to everyone who read this and thanks to all the reviewers!
