Sarah gets out a bed, gets dressed, grabs her earphones and heads out. i,ma head to the Atmore park. excuse me mam. Yes, what would you like, dear? one hotdog please. make that two. a voice says from behind Sarah as she turns around.

Rainbow! Sarah says as she hugs rainbow. hey kiddo, how's my favorite super star?

i,m great thanks. didn,t stay up too late did, ja? rainbow says as she nudges Sarah's shoulder. oh haha. Sarah playfully pushes Rainbow. you know things have been pretty slow without any soccer games or tests lately, rainbow says, rubbing her neck.

Anyway, its getting late kid. We should probably head home. ya it's getting late, Sarah says as rainbow walks her home.

the next day.

Man girl, you look terrible says rainbow dash. well you stay up to 1 to 3 am. See what it does to you, Sarah thinks to herself, giving rainbow a "just shut it" look.

Hey girls. Great. here comes Alica and her dossy. umm its pronounced possy you idiot and i don,t need one

i can get by just fine on my own. and about your little "situation" i,m sure it,ll sort its self out. Alica says as Sarah starts crying on Rainbow's chest.

Knowing strong language triggers a panic attack, Rainbow chooses her words carefully. why don,t you get you and your tinker toy bullcrap away before a smash, you face in.

Fine. and Sarah, good luck with everything. Alica smiles as she walks away. h-hey r-rainbow can we go to Mom's house after school?

Sure, kiddo. rainbow says as she strokes Sarah's hair.

After school, Sarah opens the door. i can still hear her voice saying welcome home. ya me too. i,m kinda tired Sarah says as she heads twords her mom's room and lays down on her side of the bed.

Got you. Oh no, you got me, sarahs mom says in a playful tone. And you can,t escape haha! i may not escape. But the momster can. Ms Williams she says as she picks up Sarah and tickles her. hahaha stop hahaha. stop what? please. ok Ms Williams says as she brings a 5-year-old Sarah to bed. night mommy. night, my little sunshine dora says as she shuts the door.

Sarah's frown turns to a smile as she sheds a tear in her sleep. Poor kid, i don,t know how she stays so strong at such a young age. Rainbow thinks looking at Sarah in bed.
