Ocean the mermaid of the seas.

 Splash, splash, splash as she dives into the deep blue ocean depths with her blue tail. As she rules the sea her glamorous, gleaming, trident shines in the drowning deep blue depths. Sea horses love her pretty pink puffy shell bikini top then, if she is fast enough then she could pounce on the sea horses and eat them with her sharp pointy vampire teeth. When she looks into fish's eyes with her eyes as blue as the ocean itself they get stunned and their eyes turn glowing turquoise. Ocean can hear from 1,000,000 km with her fin ears. Like her trident, her crystal crown gleams under the ocean. Ocean has has to use her smart, 108 million yr old brain to catch fish

 She likes being a ruler of mermaids so she wants to be the ruler of mermaids for eternity!!

 To kill Ocean, get a bright blue spear that is made out of crystal and stab her in the stomach because her kind is badly allergic to that same spear. Ocean swims so fast so that she can go backwards and forwards in time so she collects collectibles from the past and the future.

<span style="color: #1cefda; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">HOWL!!!! Look what’s happening in the halloween night. New Zealand and other countries and continents should celebrate halloween. You get to see all the scariest things you could ever imagine. You get candy, you get to scare people and it’s a cool family event. America is the biggest continent to celebrate halloween. Every year halloween is celebrated on the 31st of October.

<span style="color: #1cefda; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">To begin with, my 1st reason is that you get candy when you go trick or treating. If you don’t go trick or treating than you get to give candy out. You get to dress up in fun costumes. After your trick or treating you can eat the candy you earned.

<span style="color: #1cefda; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Second, you get to scare people.Some people get really frightened. You get to do funny pranks on people. You can buy those funny candy buckets too. Some times while they are sleeping they get nightmares.

<span style="color: #1cefda; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Now for my last reason, it's a cool family event. You get to dress up in costumes. Of course you can have sacks for your candy. <span style="color: #1cefda; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">You can carve faces in pumpkins which make jacko-lanterns. Obviously people think halloween is no holiday but it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<span style="color: #1cefda; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">I think other countries and continents should celebrate halloween.
