AUBRETIA, OR IS SHE… October 17, 2007

Aubretia. she is quiet. too quiet. too quiet to be friends with me. but she is friends with me. let me tell you why this is…

not so long ago, in a not so far away land, lived a not so beautiful girl. she was the scullery maid for the royal family. an orphan child, whose sole purpose was to serve the king. king Neptune.

wait a second. did i just say king Neptune? you got it. this not so beautiful girl lived in the underwater cidy of…Rhizomochondraki. the only catch, she was no mermaid, she was a sponge. a big, pink sponge. she cleaned the royal castle all right, but as a filter. because as you know, sponges filter feed on the bacteria around them.

this sponge was Aubretia. she used to be a beautiful mermaid, one of the most beautiful creatures in all of Rhizomochondraki. not anymore. though Aubretia was beautiful, she was nasty. rude, and selfish, and commanding. you didn’t want to get on her bad side. unfortunetely, she got n almost everybody’s bad side. one of these people, was Neptune.

you know Neptune is extra powerful, the most powerful person in the deep blue Salt Lake. she told him to get her a comb. he said no. “HOW DARE YOU!” she shouted at him at the top of her lungs.

he got so mad, that he turned her into a sponge. a pink, ugly sponge. he cursed her so that she would have to clean the water in the royal castle for the rest of her life.

after four years of this life, she was 10 years old. poor Aubretia didn’t have any friends. didn’t have any beaut. she coudn’t even move. she wanted to suffocate herself and et it over with, but she didn’t have the hands to do it.

then one day, the royal shoe polisher, Jake, came by her. he was very poor, because as you know, nobody under water wears shoes. well, besides Aubretia’s distant cousin Spongebob Squarepants. you mite have heard of him. Jake sat right next to her, and sighed.

he looked at the sponge and started talking to her. after 3 hours, he said, “gee. you’re a great listener. you really are a wonderful person.”

all of a sudden, she popped into a girl. a human girl. she couldn’t breath. Jake held her tight, and swam back to the surface. he lay her there, and left her. she was found, and her new parents took her to mt.baker (my middle scool) two years later, where she met me. and THAT is why Aubretia is so quiet. sponges can’t talk.
