Counting Down

Pocketwatches for the Wrist

"Late, late, late. I'm going to be late. Not again. This would be my second time! Why me? I really need to start keeping track of time." mumbled an annoyed white rabbit to himself. The rabbit hopped throughout the woods searching for his hole. While this specific rabbit was looking, a girl we know was talking to a butterfly about today's fashion. This same girl, was rambling on and on about the big fashion show she'll be attending in two weeks. " My first show! And during fashion week too!" she said to the butterfly and now explaining to a treehouse. Wouldn't it be crazy if these two characters happened to, meet each other? Now don't laugh when I say that the rabbit ends up hopping his way past the treehouse at the same time the girl walked down the rope ladder. And don't tease when I tell you that the rabbit would've normally ran away but something caught his prepared eyes. That happened to be in fact, a wrist watch. " I beg your pardon," the rabbit says slowly. " but what is that on your wrist?" He then said to the me. I, Alley, was a little scared inside at the thought of walking down a ladder only to meet a talking rabbit asking about a watch of all things. Luckily, my mother taught me manners and I could easily say to the rabbit, "This is my very special wrist watch. I use is to tell the time, set alarms and timers, and I time myself when I run around the track at school. But I see you have a watch in your back pocket so you would know what it is." I told him smoothly. " Watch in my back pocket... oh yes yes! So it's a pocket watch for the wrist. I must look into getting one. Well thank you and I must be going." the rabbit says quickly with his heart beating just as fast for talking to a human. "This is very similar to your book." Chad tells me."I think you should follow him." Bertha says loudly. "SSSHHHHH" Me and Chad say to Bertha in unison. I tip-toe-run after the rabbit and fall down the hole after him.
