Crown Center: A Short Story

One day where the sun was shining, with perfect weather during the Summer, my parents had decided on this day, that we were going downtown to go to the Sea Life Aquarium in Crown Center. After about 15 minutes, we had arrived at our destination. After we had gotten out of our dirty, blue car, we went inside and went to pay for our tickets. When we got our tickets, the worker showed us where to go, and when she opened the door, I noticed a lot of people surrounding the different types of sections. There was also this activity where every station we went to, we had to stamp it in our booklets. It had pictures depending on what area we are arriving in.
After about five more stations, my sister and I had gotten under a hallway where if you look
around, all you can see is the different types of sea creatures that the aquarium holds. I sat down at one of the benches in the hallway, when suddenly my sister said,
“I promise you Mandy, there is nothing behind you.” I turned around and then I saw a fish-like shark, that looked gray and white, with a large tail, coming towards me. I was so terrified, that I jumped out of my seat.
“Why didn’t you tell me that there was a shark coming towards me?!” I said with an angry tone of voice.
My sister didn’t answer me because she was dying of laughter. “Stop laughing at me!” I ran away and then I saw one of my favorite sea creatures, a seahorse.

I just stood there, looking at the seahorses, there so pretty and elegant, I thought to myself, until I heard someone saying,”Mandy, where are you?” It was my mom calling my name.
“I’m coming!” I exclaimed. Before I had left, I took pictures of the seahorses, and also took videos of them going to other seahorses. When I tried finding my mom, she was on a balcony with the rest of my family.
“Over here!” My sister said.. I went up to the balcony, but as soon as I got there, I was terrified one again. I was absolutely terrified of being over or above anything. Something that was even more scarier, was that we were above a fish tank, so we could easily fall. Luckily, there were handles. After we got off, our trip was sadly ending. At the end, there was a souvenir shop. My sister got a snow globe with two striped fishes swimming around, and I got a key chain of a dolphin with blue, green, and purple colored over it. That was a really fun trip, one of the funnest trips I had ever
had.
