Mouse and Puppy

I'd like some company, thought Puppy. I know, I should ask Mouse for a sleepover. He went over to the phone and called her. "Hello, do you want to come over to my house for a sleepover?" Puppy asked, shyly. He hoped that Mouse would say yes.

Mouse said, "Just let me check something." She scurried over to her calendar. She checked it. This is going to be so awesome! thought Mouse. This was the third day of Spring Break, and Mouse didn't have any vacations planned. "I'm free all break," Mouse happily replied.

"Great," said Puppy, and hung up. Puppy was pretty excited. He had never hosted his own sleepover before. He would have to go to the store; he didn't have any cheese. Wait! Puppy realized something. He hadn't told Mouse when the sleepover was going to be scheduled!

Confused, Mouse dug out her sleeping bag from the attic and then got out her stuffed bunny. Then, she got our her P.J.s and a change of clothes. Mouse put all this stuff in her backpack. Oops! She forgot her toothbrush! She got it, and set off to Puppy's house.

Puppy heard a knock on his door. Who could it be? Puppy opened it and saw Mouse. What was Mouse doing here? Then he realized that he hadn't told her when to come over. She must have thought it was today. "I'm sorry, but the sleepover isn't until Friday," said Puppy.

Oops! Mouse was very embarrassed. But then, Puppy invited her for a play date, right then! Mouse squealed and ran in. They played the afternoon away. When it was time to go, Mouse picked up her heavy backpack. But before she could leave, Puppy reminded her that the sleepover was on Friday. "I'll remember," said Mouse.

It was Friday.

Puppy waited and waited for Mouse. He was all prepared. He had a space for Mouse to sleep, some games for Mouse to play with him, and extra cheese in his refrigerator. Mouse would be here at 7:05. It was 7:04. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tock! It was 7:05. Ding dong. Mouse was here!

When Mouse entered the dog house, she was amazed at what she saw. There were her favorite games, lots of her favorite food in the refrigerator, and a cozy spot to sleep. "Oh, thank you, Puppy!" she squeaked. "I know for a fact that this sleepover is going to be terrific!"
