After the fire alarm was sounded, tally jumped off the building and hover bounced half way to the pleasure garden. While Tally is trying to get back to the bridge she thinks she sees a warden. When she goes to apologize she finds out the "warden" is actually Shay. Shay is an Ugly trying to get back to Uglyville.

Shay is like Tally, they are both seeking adventure. I think that Shay and Tally will become great friends.

New Pretty Town advocates bungee jumping because if there is ever a fire, the pretties need a way to get off the roofs.

Bungee Jumping was originally an ancient ritual or right of passage for the "vine jumpers" of Pentecost Island in the Pacific Ocean Vanuatu group. Every year, the men of the island's tribe build large wooden towers, over 80 feet high. They then carefully select vines from the jungle which they then tie to their ankles before jumping off the top of the towers. Modern Bungee jumping began with a 4 man team from the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club jumping off the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England, on April 1, 1979 (April Fools Day) dressed in their customary top hat and tails. The four neatly dressed adventurers (as the rules of their club expected) were immediately arrested.

During the late 1980's A.J. Hackett opened up the 1st commercial jump site in New Zealand and to publicize his site, per-formed an astonishing bungee jump from the Eiffel Tower!

Bungee Jumping flourished in France and New Zealand during 1980s and was introduced to the United States by John and Peter Kockelman from California in late 1980s. In 1990s facilities opened up all over the United States with cranes, towers, and hot-air balloons being used as jumping platforms.

Peris:

• a pretty
• was adventurous

No, if they were true best friends then Peris would want to spend the whole night catching up with Tally. He would have done anything to spend time with Tally.

"Safety Fireworks" is an oxymoron.

She wore a mask to the party, so the pretties wouldn't know she is an ugly.

Masks are worn to protect or disguise the face. Most masks worn to disguise are in the form of an animal or another person. Protective masks serve a specific purpose. For example, a welder wears a steel mask with a special lens to shield their eyes from the intense light produced by welding. Disguise masks include ceremonial masks, theatrical masks, burial and death masks, and festival masks. http://42explore.com/mask.htm

Tally wore a mask to find Peris because she didn't want to be discovered.

Yes, I have had a friend that has abandoned me. In fifth grade my best friend told me she was moving to Georgia. She also told me that she promised to stay in touch. But she texted me for the first week she was there and then stopped. I texted her two months later and asked why she stopped texting me about Georgia and she said she didn't have time. She then said that she had to go, and I felt like she had just kicked me to the curb.

There are two types of beauty, outer and inner beauty. Outer beauty is having the perfect face or perfect smile, and having a fit body. Inner beauty is not cussing. It is being nice and respectful to everyone.

If everyone in the world was beautiful, then life wouldnt be as interesting as it is now.

The picture of the elephant would be something that I consider ugly. The elephant has wrinkles, and is a nasty and dull gray color. The flower is something that I think is pretty. It has bright and attractive colors. To me, if something draws the eye, it has to be some-what pretty.
