Life of a Shamu trainer!

SeaWorld fun!

Jen's P.O.V

"Let's go Josie we are going to be late!" I yell to my sister.

I was going to SeaWorld for the day and she wanted to go. I stand impatiently waiting. I started my car so it would be cool enough when we got in, not that we are spending much time in the car since it's a 5 minute drive to SeaWorld. Emily then walks in the door and runs to hug me. I saw there were tears in her eyes and she must have talked to her dad today. I held her in my arms until she stopped crying.

"M-my dad called...h-he told me I was the w-worst mistake he ever made!" Emily said starting to cry again

Josie then came down stairs and hugged Emily. After a few minutes Emily stopped crying and Kyle came in the door and took Emily in his arms and let Emily cry into his chest, he has always been a great boyfriend. He always know what to do and say. Still wishing I could stay longer to make Emily feel better, me and Josie walked out to the car in silence. We drove to SeaWorld and walked through the gate.

I got out my iPhone, pressed the button to revel me hugging Takara, i then sent out a group message to some of my trainer friends.

To: Kyle M, James <3, Julie, Hanna, Cathy, Shana, Amber, Brian M, Brian J and Brian H

At SeaWorld today if anyone wants to meet up! I have my sister with me if anyone can set up something special with the animals for me and her ;) thanks xx~Jen

I sent it and put my phone in my back pocket. I had my backpack with toys in it to play with the animals. We walked to Dolphin Cove and went to the Under Water Viewing (UWV). My favorite dolphin Jenever spotted me and swam right over. I smiled at her and said

"Hi baby girl! Where's your little buddy Tiger!?"

Right on cue Tiger swam over to me and flipped upside down. I laughed and taped the glass. I got out my slinky and started to play with Jenever and Tiger. Yar, Lilly, and Tasha then come over to say hi. Josie is taking pictures of them because she is very into photography. My phone then buzzes in my back pocket. I take it out to see 5 new messages

Thanks girly! See you at around 1:30 after the show.

I put my phone away and continue to play with Jen, Tiger, Yar, Lilly, and Tasha. Jag and Scott then come over. I now have 7 of my favorite dolphins watching me! My sister is still taking pictures, more of the dolphins than me. After 20 minutes of play time we decided to go to Shamu Stadium to watch the 10:00 believe show. It was amazing as always. I say Julie, Cathy, and Shana I run over to them and hug them. They all said it will only be a little more time till you are one of us. I always love talking to them, they always make me smile. I then go to the Underwater Viewing which is very crowded like always after a show. I find an open spot and see Katina, Kalina and Nalani swimming side by side. Kalina see me and swims right over

"Hey girly!" I saw smiling she opens her mouth to make it look like she was smiling.

I laugh and ask her to wave her flipper. She does and I slap the window. The whole crowd seem to be watching me so I decide to show off. I ask Kalina to spin around, she does, I ask her to stick her tongue out a wiggle it, she does, I ask her to shake her head yes and she does. The crowd is in awe and all the little kids are watching curiously.

"Can you keep her there so we can take a picture!?" I hear a women ask behind me.

"Yes I could!" I say stepping back still having Kalina pay attention to me. The 3 kids kneel under her and I see Katina and Nalani stop by. I ask them all to open their mouths for the picture. Then I asked for them to stick their tongues out. They all do and the family walks away with amazing pictures.

"There's my favorite girl!" James says and hugs me from behind.

I laugh and ask "What about Tina and Lina!?"

"Well them too." He says "okay let's go!" He took my hand and Josie followed behind us. We go through a door up a stair case. We are then at the dine with Shamu pool. Kalina pops her head up followed by Tina and Lani.

"Okay come over here."
