Chapter 17

We got to the clothes store.

I love how the dresses sparkle when they are in the sunlight.

The only kind of clothes girl mermaids can wear are dresses.

The boys wear a strap around their body.

"I can't wait to try on dresses." "

It's my favorite part of clothes shopping."

"Mine to sweetie."

"Go try on something."

Lilly was trying dress after dress and had lots of laughs and giggles.

She finally picked out five dresses that she wanted.

"What do you think, mother?"

"They all make you look amazing Lilly."

"Thanks mother."

"Thanks for taking me shopping." "

I am having a lot of fun."

"You're welcome and I am glad you're having lots of fun."

"I am having fun hanging out with you."

"Let's go to the food store and get some ingredients to make cookies."

"How does that sound?"

"Yea that sounds like fun let's go."

I can't wait to learn how to bake especially with my mother.

I grabbed my mothers hand so I wouldn't get lost.

We got all the ingredients and swam home.

"Mother can I ask you something?"

"Sure what is it honey?"

"Father said that you hate the surface land why?"

"What's so scary up there?"

Mother stopped and froze.

"Lilly, when I went to land I loved it a lot I even found a step family to take me in."

"Three years I lived with the family."

"My step family needed money so I agreed to go to a testing lab so they could get money to live."

"What I didn't know was that my step mother never liked me and she hoped that I would die in the lab."

"Your father saved me." "

He taught me to use my powers and we destroyed the lab and escaped from it."

"Wow fathers a hero."

"Yes he very much is Lilly."

"Let's get these cookies going."
