Fluffy's Monologue

I jump up, “Where?”
“Outside! All the way around the road on the left side of the barn. His name is Fluffy, but you can change it. Ooh! And he’s already trained!”
“Thank you thank you thank you!” I exclaim.
I run outside of the house, without shoes, and sprint all the way to the barn. He was there! A little bit taller than me and dark auburn, he was fenced in. I climb up on the saddle, and I see my parents walking towards us, and they seem almost more excited than I am. “Just like how you ride a mouse!” My father shouts from down the dirt path. “Got it!” This was all I’ve wanted for the past two months, and I finally had it. Although I was very excited that my parents bought me a rabbit, it wasn’t really a surprise that they had, since I
When I visited they seemed a bit tired, I mean, with their new baby and such.”, my father mentions.
Auntie Violet and Aunt Persimmon just had a baby boy, named Thistle, and he was one of the most annoying babies I have ever met. He didn’t grab your hair or anything like that, but he just constantly cried. His eyes always seemed watery, and he was always wailing. “Sure. I guess that’s alright then. I’ll write them a letter.” “So I can go?” “Yes Maple, you can go.” “Yes!”, I say and do a little dance. “I’m gonna start packing for the trip!” “Maple, It’s a week away. You don’t have to right now.” “I know but I’m so excited!”

The week sped by fast, and it was finally time for me to leave. My parents had set up an arrangement so that I would always have somewhere to stay. Monday, Miss Cherry’s house, Tuesday, my cousin Coffee and his little sister's house, and finally, Auntie Violet and Aunt Persimmon’s apartment. I sat up onto August’s saddle, hauled my huge backpack full of my next week’s clothing, a map that seemed to cover the entire world, money, and food. I kissed my parents goodbye, and set out into the morning, which was surprisingly chilly. As August and I raced through the sunflower fields, I got more and more excited for the race. I hoped I would win, so that my parents would see that it was worth sending me to Pine
When I do wake up, I walk down to the bakery next door to their apartment building which is located in a tree. I get a muffin for myself, and two bagels for my Aunts.
It feels like forever, but my Aunts, Thistle and I are finally leaving for me to hopefully win this competition. We take the carriage that I took yesterday, which consists of a cardboard box, some wheels, and a mouse to pull it. Traffic is making this ride seem like forever, and it makes me realize, I’ve never actually had to deal with it before this. I feel bad for the other people on the carriage along with us, since Thistle will not shut up. It’s time. As August and I line up on the starting (and finishing) line, anxiety rises in my chest. I look up to see my Aunts in the stands, and they were easy to find if you just follow the sound of a crying baby. I look around to my left and right to see many other racers and their rabbits, taller than me, bigger than me, it doesn’t matter. I’m gonna win this thing. The racers and I climb on top of the rabbits, and we wait for race to start. “Ready, set, go!”, the announcer shouts and shoots a blank into the
