Dear Diary,
I had quite a scare last night at the dock. Our plan worked though!! All of the pollution turned like, fuscia pink. Oh and i escaped! I hit the water, well, i didn't remember it but i knew i did because i felt Abbey's backpack dragging me down to the bottom. I flailed my arms, propelling myself in some direction. I reached the surface and a blinding white light hit my face. I heard Luno send some people to find me, but i ducked back under the water and swam as far down as i could. It was impossible for me to see through the pollution and darkness of the murky water bellow my feet. I suddenly felt the feeling that i needed a breath. I hit the sea floor with a thud to propel myself to the surface for a breath, and again Luno's light was on my pale face. I dove down immediatly and once i felt the sea floor once again, i relaxed. Until i felt a wall of blubber rub against my skin. I was smacked and thrown out of the water. By a MANATEE. A MANATEE. Out of all things, i got propelled once again, not by anything scary, but a sleeping MANATEE! A MANATEE!!! Okay i think you get it. anyways, this time when i flew totoally out of the water, i screamed "ABBEY!!!" Then i heard a motor as soon as i fell back into the water. I forced myself to the surface again and saw three flashes of a flashlight meaning that she was coming. I started propelling myself, again, toward the little boat, not caring how much noise i was making. I reached the boat and chuckled because i had accomplished my plan.

Dear Diary,
Oh lord, i am so nervous diary, nah, that sounds stupid. uh, punk book? sure, whatever. Anyways, Noah came to my trailer yesterday morning and said he had a plan to nail Muleman. He wants me to flush food coloring down the toilet so when he empties it, we can see where Muleman dumped the waste water when it goes down to the beach, and... we will hopefully be able to trace the dye back to the Coral Queen. It's so whacked it just might work.

Today Noah and little Abbey came to my trailer and dropped off some food dye, only problem was, since it was the gel dye, it's going to be really hard to squeeze out. When i told Noah, he said he would hide on the ship and then flush some of the gel dye himself. Noah Underwood, a kid, an Underwood, on the Coral Queen. He must be crazy. But, he convinced me, and so now, he's boarding the Coral Queen in a crate that he will be hiding in until he can get out and flush some dye down for himself. this plan is crazy and a one way road. If anything goes wrong, we're toast. All of us, Abbey, Noah, Li... and me. Not Lice... i miss that little Lice fulled head with only a few strands of hair. I swear if Muleman or his bald headed, crooked nosed, sidekick of his Luno harmed one hair on Lice's disgusting head, i will fight this battle to the death. Well, i gotta go get killed now so bye.

Deary uh, book?
Yeah, i like beat up that Underwood kid. It was fun, but i hurt my stupid uh, uh, foot. I did it in the mangroans, nah, that's not what it's called, Mangroavs? Yeah thats it. Anyways, Underwood was riding his little bicycle down the main road when i threw a stick into his bike. He fell and tumbled like a log until we came and got him. he said something smart alicish to me and like, disrespected me like a lot. I can't remember what it was he said but. Oh i remember! i called him dorkbrain and said where are your training wheels, then he said hah thats original or something like that. Then i questioned his white trash body gaurd and he just said that it was his personal chauffeur. I laughed and then started the beating. It went pretty well. I went straight home and told my dad that he had beat my foot up, and that when we went fishing he did to, also that he socked me in the face. My dad bought it and he said he would give him a hard time, next time he saw him. I think i'm in a good position.

Dear Diary,
Oh my gosh. What were we thinking? Abbey and i went to the Coral Queen dock at about one in the morning. We were really disappointed because the whole reason dad sunk the Coral Queen was because he thought they were dumping their "human waste" into the oceans. When Abbey and i got there, they had the hose, in a sewage tank, meaning that they weren't dumping it in the water. That was bad, but not the worst. Abbey asked me what i was going to do, but i told her i was thinking. She called my name, um, maybe three times before i looked at her because i was getting impatient. But instead of seeing her face, i saw a bald man with a crooked nose, choking my sister. i panicked, but knew what would happen next. Abbey chomped down on the man's beefy arm as he lout out a piercing howl. He went to grab me, still grasping his bleeding arm, but i socked him in the stomach. Talk about drama. Abbey and i ran home immediately and went to bed.
Lice Peeking was suspected, by Shelly, killed by the bald man with the crooked nose. When she found her jeep, there were blood stains on it. Scary. On top of that, Lice had obviously gone missing, which means that my dad and i now have nobody to help us nail Dusty Muleman.
Jasper Junior beat me up when i went fishing, but to get him back, i hooked his backside and pulled. He yelled in pain as Bull traveled to the rear of the boat, trying to cut the line. I laughed because i was apparently the only one to see their John boat sinking with all the weight. The boat sunk like a rock and i laughed as Bulll cut the line and i took off. Oh good times, good times.
That isn't the end. Dad escaped jail! I just saw him at my bed in the night, and he said he would explain in the morning. He doesn't know I'm still awake, he thinks I'm sleeping like a rock. I probably should be. Well, I'll talk to you later mister manly diary. Goodnight.

Dear diary,
Ugh! This week, was such a blow. Dad got sent to jail, again because he sunk the Muleman’s casino boat. They’re letting us see him, but mom says I’m not like old enough or something. Whatever though, I don’t care. That man needs like serious professional from like, the MIB or something. Do you know what he asked Noah, his son, my brother, a part of the family to do?? He wants him to help get the Muleman’s really bad. So he goes for his son’s help. Traitor. He’s gone ballistic ever since he noticed that the ever since the Coral Queen, Dusty Muleman’s casino boat, had been in the bay, there have been large amounts of bacteria on Thunder Bay. Which leads him to think that stupid Dusty is duping his human let-outs into our harbor which leads to Thunder Bay, where all the kids play, and sea turtles lay their eggs, and Dusty can get away with that? And with waste in Thunder Bay, it, of course makes it dangerous for everybody who gets in the water there. Mom was so fed up, she packed up her suit case, as if she was going to leave. What scared Noah and I even more, was that it wasn’t her vacation suit case, it was the big plaid one. But it is thankfully packed away now, so we don’t have to worry. Ugh, I hope next week is better diary. Sorry I could only write on today, as you heard though, I was pretty busy myself. I promise I’ll write more next week.
