🌙🧸 Che-Ni-Mon’s Very Long Day 🧸🌙
One peaceful morning, Che-Ni-Mon woke up with a smile.
Today was going to be relaxing.
Very relaxing.
She stretched.
Yawned.
Reached for her favorite blanket.
…
It wasn’t there.
Che-Ni-Mon blinked.
“My blanket?”
She checked the couch.
Nothing.
Under the pillow.
Nothing.
Behind the chair.
Nothing.
“My blanket?!”
The kittens overheard her.
“We’ll help!”
said Chad.
“We’ll find it!”
said Agaricus.
Che-Ni-Mon smiled.
“Thank you…”
The kittens immediately ran off.
Unfortunately…
They became distracted.
Very distracted.
“CAPTAIN!”
shouted Chad.
“The pirate ship is under attack!”
Agaricus pointed dramatically.
“Prepare the cannons!”
Within seconds the entire RV had become a pirate ship.
Che-Ni-Mon continued searching quietly.
Until…
“YAAARRR!”
The kittens burst around the corner.
Che-Ni-Mon screamed.
“AHHHHH!”
She jumped.
Much higher than anyone expected.
Right through the open RV window.
“…”
“…”
The kittens stared.
Chad slowly walked to the window.
Far below…
Che-Ni-Mon sat in the grass.
She blinked.
“I meant to do that.”
The kittens looked over the edge.
“You can jump back!”
called Chad.
“We believe in you!”
called Agaricus.
“You’ve got this!”
Che-Ni-Mon looked up.
“…I don’t think I do.”
“You can jump higher!”
“Use your legs!”
“Believe!”
Che-Ni-Mon crouched.
Wiggled.
Prepared for the greatest jump of her life.
Then…
VROOOOOOOM!
A car sped past the RV.
Che-Ni-Mon screamed.
“AHHHHH!”
And sprinted away.
She ran.
Past flowers.
Past bushes.
Past little rocks.
Finally she found a quiet garden.
She sighed.
“Finally…”
“…peace.”
“WOOF!”
Che-Ni-Mon slowly turned.
Thunder stood behind her.
The giant black dog wagged his tail so hard his whole body wiggled.
“WOOF!”
“Oh no…”
whispered Che-Ni-Mon.
Thunder happily grabbed a stick.
Then dropped it in front of her.
His tail wagged even faster.
He wanted to play.
Che-Ni-Mon didn’t know that.
She saw…
A giant dog.
“OH NO!”
She sprinted away again.
“I’m too fluffy to be chased!”
Thunder looked confused.
He picked up his stick.
“…Woo?”
Meanwhile…
Near the RV…
Che-Ni-Mon slowed down.
“I just need somewhere quiet…”
Then…
“Squeak!”
A tiny little rat peeked out from beneath the house.
The little rat smiled.
“Hi!”
Che-Ni-Mon screamed.
“AHHHHH!”
The rat blinked.
“…I was just saying hello.”
Che-Ni-Mon was already running.
She rounded the corner…
And stopped.
Above her…
The RV window was open.
Hanging from it…
Blankets.
One tied to another.
Then another.
Then another.
A soft…
Cozy…
Blanket ladder.
The kittens leaned out the window.
“We found your blankets!”
shouted Chad.
“And we had an idea!”
said Agaricus.
“You can climb back home!”
Che-Ni-Mon’s eyes sparkled.
“My blankets…”
She placed one paw on the first blanket.
Then another.
She climbed.
Slowly.
Carefully.
The blankets held.
Higher.
Higher.
Almost there.
The kittens reached down.
“You got it!”
One final climb.
Che-Ni-Mon tumbled through the window.
Right on top of Chad and Agaricus.
FLOOF!
All three rolled across the floor laughing.
Che-Ni-Mon quickly hugged every blanket.
“My brave blankets…”
She hugged another.
“My wonderful blankets…”
Then she found her favorite blanket.
The one that had gone missing.
“There you are!”
She squeezed it tightly.
“I missed you most of all.”
The kittens smiled.
“Were you scared?”
asked Chad.
Che-Ni-Mon thought about…
The missing blanket.
The pirate attack.
The unexpected flying lesson.
The speeding car.
Thunder.
The friendly rat.
The blanket ladder.
“…A little.”
Everyone laughed.
Even Lily.
Who had watched the entire adventure from her favorite napping spot.
“You had…”
she yawned.
“…quite the day.”
Che-Ni-Mon wrapped herself in every blanket she owned.
“I am not leaving this pile until tomorrow.”
Mom smiled as she tucked one last blanket around her.
“I think you’ve earned a quiet evening.”
Che-Ni-Mon smiled.
“…I agree.”
Outside…
Thunder wagged his tail, still holding the stick.
The little rat waved toward the RV.
And inside…
Che-Ni-Mon finally fell asleep.
Safe.
Warm.
Surrounded by every blanket she loved…
Especially the one she thought she’d lost.
