Closed Cloud-Glazing the Cotton Skies

[Marley Owens-Lee]

Marley was glad to be back at school. She had always enjoyed spending time with her friends. She missed her friends during her break. Marley and Lucy had planned to hang out for the day, which Marley was happy about. She always enjoyed Lucy's company when they hung out. Marley was currently lying on a blanket she had brought for them to sit on as they were on the great lawn. Marley smiled as she pointed to a nearby cloud to her left. They only had just started looking up at the skies. "That one looks like a bunny, don't ya think?"

Lucy was eager to hang out with her friend. She was ignoring everything at the back of her head that was demanding her attention and intending on simply having fun. She could do that. Everyone could have fun. It was possible, and strangely lying down there, next to Marley and looking up at the clouds - it was kind of working. "A bunny?" Lucy repeated, narrowing her eyes and scanning the sky. She saw a whale, a sort of dragon, and... "Is it next to the sort of snowman?" Lucy asked. "You know, the one who looks like it's got a horn instead of a carrot nose?"

Marley looked at the surrounding clouds of the cloud she was looking at, trying to see what Lucy was looking at. Though maybe Marley thought she had found where Lucy was looking. "I think so? It's next to the one that looks like a dragon eating something" Marley says with a giggle as she points towards the area she was looking at. Marley enjoyed their cloud gazing, it was fun. She loved to identify what she could find and see.

"Oh! That one," Lucy said, thinking she saw it. It was a very cute bunny, but the clouds were moving and it was shifting slowly into something else. "So cute. Do you like bunnies?" It was a fairly innocuous, though somewhat silly question. It took a special kind of person to not like bunnies. "I've always thought it'd be neat to have one as a pet," Lucy continued. "A pretty, white bunny." She thought that sounded nice.

Marley smiled happily as her friend had caught on to what cloud she had been looking at. The girl nodded in agreement. "I love bunnies! They're absolutely adorable!" Marley says happily. She wondered if there was anyone you didn't like bunnies. But I mean, who could not love bunnies? Marley listened to her friend, nodding in agreement with everything that she had said. "I reckon having a bunny as a pet would be really cool! What would you name them?"
