She didn't mean to. It was her first party, first party ever in the world to be invited toand she missed it. She didn't even know she was missing it. She didn't know anything about the party until now, when it is already over. She can tell the people are disappointed in her. Here is what happened: StingRay woke up.

I know all this stuff without being told. It's practically like magic, the knowledge I have. I hope the rest of the wor...
