Right, i know this is out really late... I haven't been allowed on the computer much, only to revise for my GCSE's, which now i have only 2 exams left.
Your maybe thinking "Revising doesn't take that much time up" but also, i've been going to Wales a lot to visit my family (my uncle became ill, and died a week ago)
other than that, i have no excuses. i guess i just couldn't be bothered to use my imagination.
This chapter is really short, but i'm sorry about that. Its kind of a filler.
"Hey Cleo" Don greeted.
"Hi dad"
"Why haven't you stayed out with your friends?"
"Because I came back to get my phone" Cleo answered.
"Dad? Can I have a little party for my birthday at Rikki's Café with my friends?"
"I don't think so… I mean, it won't be safe… you might turn into a..." his sentence faded.
"A mermaid? It's ok to say it dad. Don't worry. I can understand your concerns, but I'm not a little child anymore. I can take care of myself."
"No, I don't think that would be an appropriate place to have a party."
"Please dad!" Cleo whined.
"No means no. End of" Don said.
Cleo went upstairs in a bad mood, stamping her feet as they dropped onto each step.
Sam walked into the house when she got home from work.
"Hi, did you have a nice day at work?" Don asked.
"Yeah, it was the usual, boring office work though."
"Can I talk to you for a minute Sam?"
"Yeah sure, what do you want to talk about?"
"We need to talk in private so Cleo doesn't find out"
"Right ok, lets go into the office then" Sam suggested.
Don and Sam made their way to the office, and closed the door behind them.
"Right" Don started, "Its Cleo's birthday in three days, and Kim came up with an idea to invite everyone to a surprise party."
"I think she will like that."
"Will you help me organise it please?"
"Ok, so what do you want me to do?"
"We need to sort out the cake, drinks, food, music, invite people and buy decorations."
"Right, I will manage the food, drinks and the birthday cake."
"Ok, I will call everyone, on this list me and Kim got off her phone"
Don called everyone, and told them all to keep the party a secret.
It was now Bella and Rikki's job to keep the party a secret from Cleo, and help her arrive at the party on time.
Next chapter is the party (at last)
