Bad Dream (age 6)

Windy whistles: rainbow sweetie, it's bed time!


Rainbow: *disappointed* do I have to mummy?


Windy whistles: yes baby. Remember tomorrow if the weather is nice we're going to the park?


Rainbow: *getting excited* oh yeah, I'll go to bed now!


Windy chuckled and took rainbow upstairs to help her get ready for bed whilst bow was dealing with scootaloo. Once rainbow had changed into her pyjamas and brushed her teeth, bow and Windy came in and said goodnight to her and she was fast asleep.


*inside rainbows dream*


Rainbow: *to herself* where am I?


The dream monster: rainbow dash.


Rainbow turned around with a jolt and was scared by what she saw. It was a giant monster who had big green eyes and horns on top of his head, he gave her an evil look.


The dream monster: *sinister voice* did you know that your parents don't love you?


Rainbow: *starting to get upset* W-what d-do y-you m-mean?


The dream monster: *grinning evil* oh yes they love scootaloo more than they love you. And because you always cause trouble. Their going to send you away where you will never be found again!


Rainbow: *now full on sobbing* NO PLEASE! I don't want to leave! PLEASE COME BACK!


*back to reality*


Bow and Windy were asleep in bed when suddenly they heard screaming.


Bow hothoof: where is that coming from?


Windy whistles: I think it's dashie's bedroom. You stay here I'll go and see if she's alright.


Bow hothoof: ok if you're sure.


Windy made her way to rainbows bedroom and when she opened the door she was met by a disturbing site. Rainbow was shaking and sweating, whilst screaming things like: "don't leave me, mummy and daddy* and "I promise I'll be good"
Windy rushed into the room and quickly picked up her sobbing daughter and carried her into her and and bows bedroom.


Bow hothoof: *shocked by the state of his daughter* oh my word what happened?!


Windy whistles: I don't know. *put rainbow on her knee and starts rocking her* shhh sweetie it's ok ,it's ok. Come on now it's alright mummy and daddy are here just tell us what's wrong.


Eventually rainbow started to calm down and her sobs turned into hiccups. Once her breathing was back to normal she was able to tell her parents all about the dream, and how the monster had said that they didn't want her anymore.


Windy whistles: *continues to rock rainbow in her arms* oh baby we're never going to send you away, and we love you and scootaloo the same amount.


Rainbow: *sniffling* do I not cause trouble?


Bow hothoof: *strokes rainbows hair* you can be a little cheeky at times dashie, but we love you and we would never send you away.


Windy whistles: would you like to stay here for the rest of the night?


Rainbow: *nods shyly*


Windy smiled and kissed rainbows forehead and then it was time to go to sleep.


*the next morning*


The weather was nice, but the family decided not go to the park as rainbow was still shook up from the nightmare, and needed some extra love and cuddles today. They decided to just play games in the house. When bedtime came back around rainbow was scared to sleep on her own, as she thought monster would come back. Bow and Windy let her sleep with them and all the bad dreams were gone.
