Too young (age 3)

Rainbow and her family we're going to her grandparents for a family day, they we're going to have a bbq, a paddling pool and play lots of games. The problem was rainbows cousins we're going to be there and they were a lot older and bigger than rainbow . They always played games that she was either too young or too small to play.


Windy whistles: are the girls ready to go?


Bow hothoof: scootaloo is I don't know about dashie though, I'll go and check.


Bow went upstairs to find rainbow sat on her bed playing with tank.


Bow hothoof: come on sweetie we're going to gran and grandads house for the family day remember?


Rainbow: I don't want to go daddy.


Bow hothoof: why baby? All your cousins will be there.


Rainbow: *mumbled* they never play games I can play though daddy.


Bow hothoof: don't worry sweetie we'll make sure they include you.


The family went over to windy's parents house and the whole family were already there, the bbq was cooking and all the cousins were in the pool.


Ocean breeze: hey auntie windy, uncle bow!


Windy whistles: hey kids you all ok?


*they all nodded there was about 6 of them*

Windy whistles: well good. Now we're going to sit with the grown ups for a bit can you look after rainbow for me?


Rainbow: but mummy I want to stay with you.


Windy whistles: it'll be alright baby.


The cousins decided that they were going to play in the pool, blitz who was the oldest cousin at the age of  16 decided they were going to play a game he'd created called "tsunami." The aim of game was to race to the pool the last person in had to allow all the others to splash them with as much water as they could. Rainbow knew there was no way she would beat her cousins to the pool, so she decided she didn't want to join in.


Rainbow: I'm going to sit with mummy.


Phoenix feather: oh come on don't be such a baby.


Rainbow was still not comfortable with this game but she didn't want her cousins to think she was a baby. They all raced to the pool and of course rainbow was the last one in the others were much bigger and faster than she was. All 6 of them then drew their arms back ready to create the tsunami, a huge wave of water then came over rainbow and it pulled her under the water. When she came back up she started to cry and cough, this got the attention of the adults and the cousins stood there in shock not knowing what to do. Windy then came over and picked rainbow up and started to rock her in her arms. She was not happy.


Windy whistles: *angrily* what were you thinking?!


Star shine: it's a game that blitz created auntie windy it's called "tsunami" you have to splash the last person in the pool.


Windy whistles: *sighed* I think it's great that you kids are inventive and like to make up your own games instead of the traditional ones, but rainbow is too little for games that are this rough. Your all a lot bigger and stronger than she is and you could of hurt her.


The cousins all looked really embarrassed and ashamed of their behaviour.


All: were sorry dashie!


Ocean breeze: is she going to be ok?


Windy whistles: I think she'll be ok, I'm going to get her changed then I think I'll let her sit with us for a bit, you can carry on playing but please be careful.


Windy then took rainbow inside to get her of her wet swim clothes, rainbows coughing had now stopped but she was still crying pretty loudly.


Rainbow: *sobbing and hiccuping* m-mummy?


Windy whistles: shh baby it's ok, I know it was scary wasn't it?


Rainbow: *mumbled* u uh.


Windy whistles: ok sweetie how about we get you changed then you can sit with mummy and have a cuddle, does that sound nice?


Rainbow nodded and windy soon got her changed, she had bought a pair of pyjamas for rainbow and decided to put her in them as she knew rainbow was too worn out and emotional to play anymore. They then went back outside and windy sat in her chair and held rainbow on her lap rocking her gently has she started to fall asleep. Rainbows thumb then went into her mouth as she started to suck it, windy gently removed her thumb and replaced it with rainbows dummy. She kept rocking rainbow and stroking her hair. She was soon fast asleep, she kissed rainbows forehead and placed her in the double buggy they had bought for rainbow and scootaloo in case they got tired.


Bow hothoof: i heard what happened, is she alright?


Windy whistles: yeah I think it frightened her more than anything else and it's been a long day. She'll be ok when she wakes up.


Bow hothoof: ok.


After about another hour scootaloo was starting to get tired and grumpy so windy and bow decided it was time to go home. They said their goodbyes to the family and they went home. Once they got home they decided they would put the girls straight to bed as they were both fast asleep, they did that and decided they were going to watch a film because they had a bit of time for themselves.
