Chapter 12: Pet Day

One Wednesday at school, Mrs. Godmother had been teaching the kids about different kinds of animals.

"Now before we all leave, raise your hand if you have a pet."

Everyone in the class raised their hand.

"Wonderful, now I was thinking since we've been talking about animals all week, on Friday we'll be having a pet day, where you can bring your pets, and have pet show and tell."

All the kids began chattering excitedly.

"Now, here are permission slips to bring your pets to school. Have your parents sign them, and bring back to me as soon as possible." instructed Mrs. Godmother, as she used her magic to float the papers to the kids.

Then the final bell rang, and the kids grabbed their backpacks, and left the classroom.

"Have a nice evening."

"So you guys gonna bring your pets?" asked Maria.

"You bet, pet day sounds fun." answered Winter.

"I'd love to bring Blaze." replied Griffin.

"Well, all we have to do is get the permission slips signed, and Friday will be a great day." said Owen.


So as soon as the kids got home, they got their parents to sign their permission slips. Of course, their parents signed the slips, and on Thursday the kids got their pets ready for Pet Day. When Friday came the kids went to school, with their pets in cages, on leashes, and in their arms.

In the classroom, the kids were visiting their friends and meeting their pets. Then a ball of pink light came floating into the room, and Mrs. Godmother appeared.

"Good morning, class." she greeted.

"Good morning, Mrs. Godmother."

"I'm very happy to see you all brought in your furry friends. Now I know you're all excited, so we'll get all our work out of the way, then we'll have a pet show and tell."

So the kids got all their work done, and the pet show and tell came.

"Okay, Maria you go first." said Mrs. Godmother.

Maria walked up to the room with her small pink cat in her arms.

"This is my cat, Puffy, she's a really good cat. My mom and dad got her for me when she was a kitten, and it was 5th birthday. She loves to be brushed, and to snuggle." Maria explained.

"Very good, Rain?"

Rain walked up with her brown puppy on a leash.

"This is my puppy, Sandy. My family and I adopted him a couple months from the shelter. He's really playful, full of energy, and he loves to play."

Then Winter went next, carrying her white bunny.

"This is Snowball, my bunny. She's really soft and sweet, when I was looking for a pet one day, and Snowball and I had this instant connection."

Then Jake was next.

"This is Chippy, my chipmunk." he said, holding a small brown chipmunk.

"What can you tell us about him?" asked Mrs. Godmother.

"Well I found him out in our backyard, he was having trouble moving, so I called my dad, and he said he had a broken leg. We nursed him back to health, and when we tried to let him go, he wouldn't leave, so my dad said I could keep him. He's really fun, and loves to cause mischief."

"My turn." said Griffin, going up to the front of the classroom, with a green mini dragon on a leash.

"This is Blaze, he's a mini dragon. Our parents took me and Fern to get pets one day, I wanted a real dragon, but they'd only let me get a mini one. But he's great, he can breathe smokes instead of fire, so he's not dangerous."

After him, Fern went up, with her pink unicorn with a lavender mane and tail, and silver horn.

"This is my mini unicorn, Princess. She's a really sweet unicorn, she loves being brushed, and I can ride her whenever I want."

Next was Owen, and he walked up with his goldfish's bowl.

"This is my goldfish, Finn. I was looking for the right pet, and a goldfish was the right one for me. I feed him, clean his bowl, and it's cool to watch him swim around." explained Owen.

Then it was Spice's turn. She walked up with her hamster's cage, and started to talk about her pet.

"This is my hamster, Sugar." she said, showing her friends the little white and gold hamster.

"When my dad got a new shipment of hamsters, he could only hold so many, so he gave me the extra one. I love her cause she's sweet like sugar, therefore her name."

Next was Sequoia and Ash.

"These are our finches." said Sequoia.

"Mine's name is Squawk, she's a girl, and Sequoia's is Squeak, he's a boy. Cause those are the sounds they like to make." explained Ash.

"We each wanted a pet, but our parents would only let us get one kind of animal so we had to decide with animal we wanted."

"So we decided to go with birds, and we love them and they love us."

"Very good, who's next?" asked Mrs. Godmother.

"I'll go." replied Rose.

"This is my frog, Croaky." she said, holding in her hands a small green frog.

"My mom and I were having a picnic one day, and I found him by the pond. We played together for a while, and when it was time to go, he kept following me, so I decided to keep him. He loves jumping around."

"I'm next." said Deven.

He went up, and showed his spider.

"This is my tarantula, Rocky."

The girls in the class backed away in fear.

"It's okay, he may look scary, but he's really nice. My mom was scared at first when I got him, but she warmed up to him."

Then the girls started to feel more comfortable around Rocky.

"William, you're next." said Mrs. Godmother.

William went up with his green turtle.

"This is Tiny, he was a present from my grandma. He's really cool, and I can talk to him, and he listens."

Maisie went next with her pet blue mouse.

"This is Teacake, my mom had a pet mouse when she was young, so she got me one too. She likes to scurry around, and loves eating teacakes and cookies."

"She's very cute, Luna would you like to go next?" asked Mrs. Godmother.

"Sure thing. This is my dire wolf, Scruffy. I got him from my grandparents, he loves to run around and play." said Luna.

Scruffy was silver. Up next was Gabriel, with his gecko.

"This is Spotty."

His name fit him, because he was covered in brown spots.

"I got him from the pet store, he's really cool, especially when he sheds his skin."

Kit went up with his green snake.

"This is Slick, he's a really nice snake. He doesn't bite or anything. I named his that because he's really slick when he slithers around."

Last was Cameron, and his black ferret.

"This is Spads, my ferret. My mom says every kid should have a pet, and so she got me Spads. I love to play with him."

"You all have wonderful pets, kids. Now it's time for lunch and recess, put your pets away, and let's go." said Mrs. Godmother.

The kids put their pets on leashes, and in their pens, after they said goodbye, the all left the classroom.


But little did they know, two kids snuck into the classroom, and opened the cages and took them off the leashes.

After a couple of hours, the kids came back to the classroom, but when they opened the door they got a horrible shock. Their pets were gone. They searched the whole classroom, but couldn't find their beloved animals.

Mrs. Godmother floating back into the classroom, and saw surprised to see the kids frantically running around the classroom.

"What on earth is going on here?" she asked.

"Mrs. Godmother, our pets are gone." informed Maria.

"They can't be just gone."

"We've looked all over the classroom, they're not here." said Gabriel.

"But how could they have gotten out?" wondered Rain.

"Yeah, we put them on their leashes and cages." added Kit.

"Hey, guys, look what I found." said Winter.

The kids and Mrs. Godmother, came over to where Winter stood, and saw her holding a candy wrapper.

"A candy wrapper?" asked Deven.

"None of us had a candy wrapper, and who else do we know who eats Crumb brand candy?" asked Winter.

It was then the kids and Mrs. Godmother knew who let the animals loose. Horace and Gwendolyn were punished by having detention, and the kids raced to find their pets.

Maria found Puffy in the library, Rain found Sandy in the girls' bathroom, drinking out of the toilet. Winter found Snowball in the hallway, Jake found Chippy in the boys' room, Griffin found Blaze in the nurse's office.

Fern found Princess in another classroom, Owen found Finn in the toilet, luckily he scooped him up in his bowl, Spice found Sugar in the cafeteria. Sequoia and Ash found Squeak and Squawk in the office, Rose found Croaky hopping around the art room.

Deven found Rocky crawling around the floor, William found Tiny in the boys' room sink, Maisie found Teacake in the kitchen, Luna found Scruffy out on the playground. Gabriel found Spotty in the janitor's closet, Kit found Slick in front of the school, and Cameron found Spads in the auditorium.

Each one was happy for have their friend back.
