Summer Job (age 14)

It was the summer holidays and rainbow was laid on the sofa watching tv, it was only 2 weeks into the holiday and bow and Windy were getting fed up of rainbows lazy attitude.


Windy whistles: *turns the tv off*


Rainbow: *getting angry* MUM WHAT THE FUCK?! I WAS WATCHING THAT!


Windy whistles: *scolding tone* I don't care if your watching it rainbow dash and don't speak to me like that!


Rainbow: *scoffs* fine sorry.


Windy whistles: thank you. Me and your father have been talking and we've both decided that your spending too much time sitting on the couch and you need to get a job.


Rainbow: *testing* and why should I get a job?


Windy whistles: *sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose* because your no longer a little kid and it wouldn't hurt for you to get off your backside, and take some responsibility.


Rainbow: but I'll only 14 who's going to hire me?


Windy whistles: we've already worked that out. You'll be working at the local sports shop, they've been wanting helpers for the summer.


Rainbow: *whining* that sounds boring.


Bow hothoof: *comes into the room* oh come on dashie you love sports.


Rainbow: yeah but I hate work.


Windy whistles: well too bad because you start tomorrow. So i suggest you go and take a shower.


Rainbow: *walks away and rolls her eyes*


Windy whistles: *shouts back* and less of the attitude!


*the next day*


Windy drove rainbow to the sports shop and told her to have a good day and to behave. Rainbow hadn't said a word to either of her parents all morning, she was still annoyed with them for making her go to work.


*during rainbows shift*


Rainbow was actually pleasantly surprised with the job she was given and by how friendly her boss was. She was expecting to be stacking shelves all day which she did, but her boss and had made it into a competition between the employees, which rainbow couldn't say no too.


The boss: nice work today kid.


Rainbow: thanks boss. Say when is pay day?


The boss: *chuckles* not until the end of the month kid.


Rainbow: *disappointed* awww, oh well I'll see you tomorrow.


*back at home*


Bow hothoof: hey kiddo how was work?


Rainbow: it was good, the boss set us a competition and guess who won?


Windy whistles: *raising an eyebrow* so you enjoyed it then?


Rainbow: *hugs Windy* yes mum and I'm sorry for how I spoke to you earlier.


Windy whistles: *hugs rainbow back and kisses her head* it's ok sweetheart I forgive you.


Rainbow: I'm going to get some sleep before dinner.


Windy whistles: that's fine I'll call you when it's ready.


Rainbow went upstairs to sleep after the first day of her first ever summer job.
