1. The Zoo
It was the first day of the summer holidays.
Maddy and Rhydian were lying on the sofa at Maddy's house.. They were so glad that they hadn't any school to go to for the next two months. They both hated school. They could just spend all their time with one another.
Maddy was lying on Rhydian's lap.
Rhydian looked down at his girlfriend.
"Maddy?"
Lifting her head up and facing her boyfriend she answered, "Yeah Rhydian?"
"Do you fancy doing something, cause as much as I love lying here with you, it's been like three hours and I'm getting pins and needles in my legs?"
She laughed.
"Well what do you fancy doing?", she smirked as she sat up.
"I was thinking maybe going to the zoo?"
"Sounds great!", she beamed. "I've never been to a zoo!"
"Really?", Rhydian asked,surprised.
"Yeah. Why? Have you been to one?", Maddy questioned judging by the surprised look on his face.
"Yeah, well I was like seven but I still remember it! I loved it. Seeing all the different animals, it was amazing Mads," Rhydian explained, his eyes lighting up as he spoke.
Maddy giggled as she stood up and pulled Rhydian up, "Well then Mr Morris, come on! Take me to the zoo!"
They grabbed their coats and raced out the door.
"Ahh Mads, wait two seconds."
Rhydian ran back into the house and after two minutes came back out carrying his wallet.
"We wouldn't get very far, if we didn't bring money!", he chuckled.
"You're right!", Maddy giggled.
Pulling his arm, "Now come on! I want to go to the zoo!"
Rhydian smiled and grabbed hold of her hand, "Come on then!", he smiled.
The two raced through the woods and into the next town where the zoo was.
Raising his arm towards to the zoo, "One zoo, Miss Smith," smiled Rhydian.
"Well don't just stand there! I don't want to look at it from out here! Come on, lets go in!", she squealed, full of excitement and then ran off towards the entry gate.
Rhydian looked on at her and smiled, before following after her.
"I'll pay you in," he smiled.
"I've the best boyfriend ever!", Maddy smiled.
"Of course you do!", Rhydian smirked as he leaned down and kissed her.
Rhydian got the entry tickets and he and Maddy entered the zoo.
Handing Maddy a map, he asked, "So where do you want to start? What shall we look at first?"
Consulting the map, Maddy replied, "Oh my god, I really don't know Rhydian! There are so many animals in here! I can't decide!"
Rhydian laughed. "How about we start from the beginning and work our way round? Then we won't miss any of the animals?"
"Sounds perfect!", Maddy grinned.
They walked around and began to look at all the different animals.
They saw elephants; giraffes, chimps; snow leopard; penguins; zebras; tigers; leopards; lizards; parrots; frogs; flamingos; owls; snakes; turtles; fish; starfish; butterflies; horses; meerkats; pandas; lions; monkeys; cheetahs; antelopes; crocodile; rhinos; and dozens of other animals.
Once they had visited each of the animals, they slowly walked out the exit.
Rhydian took hold of Maddy's hand.
"So Mads, what was your favourite animal?"
"Rhydian, I don't know. There were just so many! I didn't expect there to be that many! I never realised just how many different types of animals there were in the world! I can't decide between the penguins or the baby turtles! They were so cute! I can't believe I got to hold one of the baby turtles!", Maddy squealed.
"Not as cute as you!", smiled Rhydian.
Maddy blushed.
"Maddy, you enjoyed your trip to the zoo then?"
"Yes, it was brilliant! Thank you for bringing me!", Maddy beamed.
"No problem! I'm glad that I was the first person to bring you! It made our day even more special!", Rhydian smiled.
"Just you being here made it special Rhydian, thank you," replied Maddy as she threw her arms around his neck and smashed her lips against his before he could reply. He put his hands around her waist.
