Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Outside, above the trees, beyond the dead grass, and in a huge old white house lived a very joyful girl. She skipped and hopped in her yellow flowered dress. Her smile would stretch across her face meeting her dimples and her forehead would shine when the sun hit her as well as her eyes would turn a light brown. When it rained which it rarely did her face would slouch and press against the window with disappointment because she couldn't enjoy the moment of being outside.

Normally when it rained, something would make her sad. That very day her dog Peanut died. She had no brothers no sisters and Peanut was the only thing that kept her comforted. The death of her K9 showed such pain on the outside her parents couldn't help it but feel it to. Her ill mother decided to buy her a cat. She named the big fur ball, that was gray with black stripes Mr. Skip.

Mr. Skip walked funny, he wasn't injured, he wasn't hurt, he just walked very unusual. The girl would smile every time she called for him. She welcomed Mr. Skip and his strange behavior with open arms as well as her parents (or at least she thought). One time her father was going to work and Mr. Skip hopped into his arms the father dropped the cat with no hesitation. The girl cryed her self to sleep at the same time rain drops gently touched the window one by one.

When ever it rained she was sad when ever it stayed sunny she would enjoy the time if her life. As soon as every inch of water dried up and it was sunny again her and Mr. Skip played all day. Then a drop of water hit her face and her cheeks fell the excitement was gone. The cat stood still didn't run away at all even though it poured constant rain. The girl let the rain soak her in disappointment but the cat stood still.

Her father ran outside with tears down his face holding her mother in his arms. The mother was pale in a white night gown. The father fell down to his knees screaming out "Why!!Why!!Why her out of all people! Why her!". The rain took over and fell harder but still bounced off there skin. The girl sat down not understanding but knowing her father was crying which rarely happens, it questioned her sanity. As she sat there the cat ran up to her and licked her gently. Mr. Skip turned her frown upside down and he tugged her to play and she did. The father stop crying, the rain stooped falling, and the mother gave breathe again.
