Once upon a time in the deep blue sea there lived a Magic fish and her name was Shelly. She was as pretty as a rainbow. One day she went to an island. The name was Black and White Island and everything was black and white. The Magic fish said "This is so dull," so in a Poof! it was fair of color and Shelly lived happily ever after.
