Chapter One – Summer Vacation

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Irma Lair's eyes fluttered open, as her alarm clock went off. She moaned angrily, as she turned over, and slapped the 'off' button. She glanced at the time and smiled, it was 7:01. She let her head fall back into her pillow. Sleeping in late was one of the reasons she loved summer vacation. Irma smiled to herself, Summer Vacation was such a beautiful word.

As Irma slowly returned to slumbering, she reminded herself she really needed to unplug her clock. At 11:00, Irma awoke once again. She let out a huge sigh, and swung herself out of her bed. She slipped on her slippers, as she trudged over to Leafy's cage. "Morning." Irma yawned, putting her hand in his home and patted his head. "I will be back in a little bit, with some fruit for breakfast, Ok?" Irma said to Leafy. Leafy just blinked her.

Irma plodded down the stairs, happily. When she reached the bottom, she glanced around, looking for her mom or Christopher. "Hmm… no one." She muttered. "Your mother left a note, on the refrigerator." Someone chirped. "Oh thanks, Mandy." Irma said, looking at the round bowl, on the mantel, containing the family, Mandy.

Irma began to walk the kitchen, when Mandy continued to talk. "You know you could give me some food, for helping you out." Mandy sniffed. "Oh right," Irma said, "I almost forgot." Irma walked over to Mandy's tank, and grabbed two things of fish food. "Would you like shrimp or regular fish flakes?" Irma said, holding up the food. "I think I will take the shrimp, today." Mandy replied. Irma sighed, as she sprinkled some shrimp into the water. "Happy now?" Irma asked. "Yes I am, but I will call you if I have anymore problems." "Please don't" Irma answered, before scampering into the kitchen.

Irma let out a huge sigh, when she reached the living room. Now she knew what Will meant, that it a blessing and a curse to be able to talk to her appliances, only Irma could talk to underwater creatures.

Irma walked over the fridge, and peeled off a taped note. She glanced at the note. 'Yep, this is the one.' Irma thought, as she recognized her mother's curly handwriting. Irma then began reading it contents. It read-

Dear Irma,

I am going out to the store. I will be home by 3:00. Christopher is at a friend's house, so you don't have to worry about him. I left a muffin for you, for breakfast. Behave. Please call me or dad at work, if you decide to leave the house.

Love Mom

Irma smiled. This meant she could spend the day, the way she wanted to. Irma opened the pantry door, and rummaged though, until she found the muffin, in a plastic container, her mother had told her about. She snapped off the lid, and discarded the box, as she took her muffin and sat at the table. Irma thought about what she could do, today, as she devoured the blueberry muffin.

'Maybe I could go to the shell cove, with Hay lin." She thought, and then smacked herself in the head. 'Hay Lin, her grandma, Will, Taranee, Cornelia, and Caleb, had all gone together, on a vacation, because they all have nice parents.' Irma thought, angrily.

'I guess I am stuck going to the public pool.' Irma thought, both happy and glum. Sure, she loved swimming, especially, with her amazing water powers, but it would be no fun without Hay Lin or the others. Irma stood up, and grabbed some fruit for Leafy, as she had promised, and head back upstairs.

Irma tossed in a handful of the fresh fruit in for Leafy, and headed for her dresser. 'Now which swimsuit should I wear?' Irma thought, thoughtfully. She picked up her two-piece red swimsuit. 'Hopefully there will be some hotties.' She thought, as she quickly discarded her pajamas, and replaced it with her swimsuit. On top of her swimsuit, she put on jean shorts, and a white tank top. She smiled at herself, in the mirror.

Irma grabbed a towel, and headed down the stairs. Just as she opened the door she remembered something. 'I have to call mom or dad.' Irma thought, angrily, 'Did they not trust her? Was she not a mature enough girl, to at least roam her own home town?' Irma ran grabbed her purse, nearby, and quickly took out her cell phone, and punched in her dad's office number.

"Hello, dad?" Irma said, into the phone.

"Hey, honey, you going out?" Her dad responded, on the other side.

"Yep, if it is alright with Mr. Won't-Let-His-Daughter-Cross-The-Street, I want to go swimming." Irma chirped.

Her father let out a big sigh. "It isn't that I don't trust you, I don't trust the others." He tried explaining.

"Stop beating around the bush, and tell me I can swim!" Irma whined.

"Fine, go swimming," Her father said, exasperated, "Just be home for dinner."

"Fine, Fine." Irma said, as she flipped her phone shut, and threw it back in to her purse. Irma ran out the door, before something else could get in her way, of having a fun day.
