Dolphin Divorce 〜By Anna Petru and Tallulah Nicholson〜
Once upon a time, there was a perfect family of dolphins. There was a little baby dolphin named Bubbles! She loved her life living happily in the ocean, with her mommy and daddy dolphin.
One night Bubbles overheard her parents fighting, the next night she overheard them fighting again. Everyday her parents started to fight. Bubbles knew something felt wrong, but she knew that her parents loved each other so much and didn't think it was big deal.
One night Bubbles mom, and dad got into a really big fight, and her dad left.
“Good Morning Bubbles how was sleeping?” asked mommy dolphin “It was good! But where is dad?” Bubbles said concerned “Well me and your dad have thought and we’re going to get a divorce…” mommy dolphin said “What does that mean?” Bubbles asked “It’s when two parents decide it’s better for them to split up for good, we weren’t meant for eachother” explained mommy dolphin
Bubbles tried to act like everything was the same, she went to school and still played with her friends as if nothing ever happened! But it really started to affect her, she started to refuse that her parents were actually splitting up and getting a divorce!
It was bedtime when Bubbles couldn’t stop thinking about her parents, she started to think what if it was her fault that her parents decided to get a divorce? She started to get angry at other people and herself. Her friends didn’t want to talk to her anymore because she was just being very rude to everyone!
Thinking that it was her fault that her parents had separated. Bubbles believed that maybe if she was a better daughter her parents would want to get back together. Bubbles tried so hard to be well behaved, but when she asked her mom if she was going to ever get back together with her dad. Her mom still explained that they weren't meant to be together.
Bubbles had tried so hard, but now she realized that her parents were not ever gonna get back together, and she got really sad. She cried constantly and stopped caring about other things. She thought back on the great memories of her and her family and thought things were never gonna be the way they used to be, so she would never be happy again.
It was finally time to accept that Bubbles parents weren’t going to get back together. She now gets to see her parents every weekend and goes back and forth between the two. She goes on with her life with her friends and family, she is now very happy in the ocean even though her dolphin family has split up.
THE END!!!!
