Our story begins here...
Summer was over, Princess was fast asleep and about to be late for the first day of school in a new town. “Wake up! Out of bed sleepy head!” Her father yelled up the stairs. Princess rolled out of bed and got herself ready as quickly as she could. She ran downstairs and grabbed her lunch box and a bagel for breakfast then out the door she went to catch the bus which was already waiting for her.
Once at school, Princess went to her desk at the back of the class where she spent most of her time scribbling pictures of dogs on her desk, her folders, and even her jeans. When she wasn’t drawing she would look out the window and dream about a puppy of her own.
On this day, the clouds gathered outside the school windows, and the rain began to flood the playground. As Princess watched the rain, lightning flashed across the sky. Lighting up the darkened playground. In the flashes, she thought she saw something hiding under the slide. She watched closely waiting for the bright strikes to light up the sky once more. THERE! She was sure she saw it this time, hiding from the rain under the slide, sat a dog shaking and afraid.
When the final bell rang and school was over, the sun had just begun to shine again peeking out from a large group of leftover rain clouds. As she walked to the bus, she stopped. “Where are you...” she whispered to herself, looking long and hard at the playground. Sadly the little dog was nowhere to be found. “Could I have been dreaming?” she thought out loud.
Tune in Next Week for Part 2!
