<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">**Start your story here:** One hot summer day, everyone in the town of Washington was at Splashdown, the best water park in the world! The huge bucket was dumping water on people. People were going down the biggest slide ever! When they reached the bottom they landed in a huge pool of water where a lifeguard was waiting to catch them. But today when Damon, a seven year old boy, traveled down the slide he noticed a creepy gray fin coming out of the water.

===<span style="background-color: #9a00ff; color: #00ffef; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Damon jumps off the slide and gets the lifeguard. Then, the lifeguard doesn't see anything. So Damon keeps going down the slide, but sees the fin again. Damon gets his friend and they go down the slide together. When they get to the bottom, they jump on the fin and see it's a shark. Then the shark takes them both down to an underwater princess castle. The shark dresses the boy up in a gown and ruby slippers. He claps his heels together and says, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home." But the boy doesn't go home.......... ===

===<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">So Damon begged the shark again to send him home. The shark said, "OK, but you have to close your eyes." Damon closed his eyes and said, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home." He quickly opened his eyes but instead of being back at the water park he was in another room in the castle. Damon looked around and realized he was in the princess' room. There were princess clothes, a sparkly crown, glass slippers, and a chair that said, "The Princess' Chair." All of a sudden a wizard appeared. Damon ran up to him and begged the wizard to help him get home. The wizard seemed confused and just stood there. So Damon yelled, "Take me to the princess!" The wizard said, "What are you talking about, you ARE the princess." ===

Damon had to think quickly. This was getting serious!! “What? I am a princess? AAAGGG!! What about my friend Zac? The wizard said he is the prince. Oh, no! What’s going on?! Zac is my friend. I’m not going to marry him. This can’t be happening! Where’s Zac? Where’s Zac?” “Here I am Damon. I just came from a secret door that will lead us back to Splashdown”, whispered Zac. Come with me.” Damon and Zac hurriedly tip-toed out of the room to find the secret passage.

When Damon and Zac found the secret passage they went inside. It had seaweed on the walls. It was so dark! When they reached the end of the tunnel, the shark was waiting for them! The shark tried to catch Damon with his big, sharp teeth, but Damon and Zac were very fast swimmers! They swam up and out of the water. They were back at Splashdown and safe from creepy shark. Damon and Zac never went down the slide again.
