The runaway rainbow. It was one of those days when everything felt a bit gray. The sky was cloudy, the garden was soggy, and even the daisies looked a little droopy. Alice and Freddy sat in the shed sharing a banana sandwich and watching raindrops drip from the roof. Mr. Sniffer tin, their excitable dog sat beside them, guarding an old wellie boot like it held the secrets of the universe. It feels like it's been raining for a week. Grumbled Freddy Alice side, and there hasn't been a rainbow yet. Just then, zoo a twinkle of sparkles shot past the shed window, followed by a blur of colorful light and a trail of glitter. Alice jumped up. Was that. A rocket or a rainbow, I think said Freddy squinting. That was a rainbow on the run, Mr. Sniffer tin barked and launched himself into the garden for a better look. Tail twirling like a helicopter blade. The kids burst out of the shed just in time to see two familiar figures floating above the sand pit on their broomsticks Molly Broom well quickly took a sip from her flying water bottle. She looked a bit worried. Mindy Broom. Well gripped a kite string attached to absolutely nothing. Hello, starlings. Molly called Terribly sorry to bother you, but we've got a bit of a colorful conundrum. It is a rainbow emergency. Shouted Mindy. Her eyes wide with panic now holding the floating string with two hands. Ah, what said Freddy? Still munching on his banana sandwich. The rainbow got loose, quite mendy. We were stitching it back into the sky after the rain and it zoomed off before I could finish the last stitch. Alice gasped it ran away. It's very excitable. Said Molly now dunking a chocolate biscuit in a hovering teacup. I think it's trying to find somewhere more fun to shine. Mr. Sniffer Tin sniffed. The air spun in a circle and barked once like a rainbow detector. Just then a whoosh of color zipped under the garden gate. A stripy blur of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet zigzagging like a scarf in the wind after it yelled Freddy. Woo woof, barked Mr. Sniffer Tin Galloping as fast as he could. Mindy got her wand from her purple cloak pocket time for the rainbow roundup. She flicked it and sparkly string burst into the sky only to tie itself into a bow and land on Molly's chocolate biscuit. Oops, Mindy mushed. That was my sock tying spell. Alice pointed, it's heading to the playground. Off they went. Alice and Freddy running. Mr. Sniffer and bouncing and the broom. Whale sisters zooming above in broom tails of crumbs at the playground, the rainbow was going bananas. It zipped down. The slide wrapped itself around the monkey bars and left colorful stripes on everything. It touched Molly hovered overhead. It is having fun, but it'll soon get tired if it keeps going like this. Will need to calm it down. Rainbows love calming songs. Freddy, can you hum something soft and relaxing. Freddy blinked and like this. He hummed a song he just made up about jellyfish wearing slippers. Alice danced around the playground like a floppy pancake trying to look relaxing. The rainbow slowed. It wobbled and it paused on the top of the slide like it was listening to Freddy's Zung. That's it. Molly whispered. A little more calm then Mr. Sniffer tin barked really, really loud and zing the rainbow. Got a fright and zoomed away straight towards the duck pond. Quick yell, Dallas. It's going to strip fight the ducks. Mr. Sniffer and skidded across the grass barking with purpose. Mindy, tried to lasso the rainbow with magic string, but caught a duck Instead, the duck turned every color of the rainbow and looked very confused. Molly still calmly sipping her tea. Blinked will fix the duck. Later at the pond, the rainbow swirled in loop. The loops Curious Fish popped out to see what all the fuss was about. It is creating rainbow ripples. Molly warned, if we don't stop it, the pond will turn to rainbow soup. Freddy tugged her sleeve. Can we make it a home? Maybe it's lonely in the sky. Mindy gasped. Freddy. That's brilliant. Alice added it. Needs a rainbow playground. Molly beamed. Well said. They sprang into action. Mindy tossed everyone a piece of chalk. Allison Freddy drew a hopscotch on the ground. Molly drew a slide in the ear with chalk and before their eyes, it turned into a real slide there, a rainbow rest stop made with care she declared. The rainbow zipped over paused wiggled and curled up on the hopscotch. Drawing it let out a soft sigh. Very pleased with itself. Everyone cheered. You did it. Molly beamed a perfect place for runaway colors. Now I think we've earned a good picnic, mindy handed out jam tarts from a large golden tin rainbow friendly snacks. Mr. Sniffer gently licked the rainbow and settled next to it with a satisfied wolf. Freddie asked, do you think it'll stay only until the next rain? Said Molly. Rainbows always come and go, but now it knows it's welcome Here on the ground with us, the sun suddenly peaked out from behind a cloud. Best gray day ever. Alice whispered just then. Mum called from the back door. Time to come in. I've made rainbow cupcakes. Alice giggled. Do you think she knows? No way said Freddy. They both giggled and ran inside Mr. Sniffer tin bouncing happily behind them. The end.
