Rose - A Poppy Playtime Story

Chapter 12 - Grudges

(Nine)

The fake sun still continued to shine brightly, graciously bathing everyone in its light.

The critters and children walked across the center field after Bobby's lesson. Kickin' was leading the group continuously asking if anyone could swim.

Unsurprisingly only some of the toys knew how to swim, but none of the children did. So, the super cool surfing activity Kickin' had planned wasn't going to work.

Instead they were going to teach the children how to swim. It wasn't mandatory for the children, but the critters were extremely encouraged to swim (or learn how to swim).

Dogday, Kickin', and Picky knew how to swim, so the three would be leading this class. The plan was to split into groups.

There was going to be fifteen groups of eleven, they were going to have rotations every thirty minutes. (Please don't pay attention to the math of this. Just pretend it works)

Dogday, Kickin', or Picky would lead one group of kids at a time, each of the groups would have about eleven kids. Five of the groups would have ten kids and one critter.

Only three of the groups would be in the pool at a time, meanwhile the remaining critters would keep the other twelve groups entertained.

At least four critters would be out of the pool to ensure the children's safety.

Finally the crowd reached a half metal half wood staircase in the corner of Home Sweet Home. They began climbing the stairs, some moving faster than others.

At the top of the staircase was a wooden platform, and at the nearest wall were two doors.

One was a clear door with a painted sun in the corner, and beach on the bottom. The other was a classic oak door like the ones where the children slept.

Through the unpainted spots of the clear door you could see a decently large         in-ground pool, multiple pool noodles and other aquatic items could be spotted around the area.

Kickin' knew what lay behind the other door. He stood in front of that door, and waited for everyone to look at him.

"Alright, everyone this is going to be an exciting hour in the pool, but before that you need to change into swim suits." He announced, pushing the door open.

Behind it was a small square room, three doors were on each of the remaining walls.
The one on the left was pink, the one on the right was blue, and the one in the center was white.

"The pink door is for the girls changing rooms, and the blue one is for the boys. Don't worry our cool staff all ready made sure there was enough suits for everyone!"

Kickin' and the rest of the critters guided all the children into the rooms, making sure that all of them went through the correct door.

Kickin' quickly pulled the critters through the white door. Apparently that was the changing rooms for the critters.

There was a wall in the direct center of the room. The girls section was to the left, and the boys was to the right.

Multiple suits were placed on each side. On the girls section were four one piece suits.

One was hot pink, another was rainbow, the next was a soft pink, and the last one was yellow.
