Hello! I’d like to thank you for reading this far (Something I normally wouldn’t expect from one of my stories). So please tell me how much you like this when you’re done.

I woke up late. The first thing I realized when I woke up. I got ready for work after I made Dashie a quick breakfast. It was the same order as every day. I wasn’t happy about that. I wanted to do something that would make Dashie happy. Something to change it up a little bit.
I still had 10 minutes until I left. I noticed that there is nothing Dashie could really do anymore. I wonder if there is anything left in the houses closet. I had some of my older toys in there from when my parents were alive. I went over to the closet and checked around. A small box and some gift paper were two things I pulled out. 
I looked in the mess until I ran out of time. It was then I found Dashie’s gift. One that I was positive she would enjoy for a long time. I could wrap it at my break and give it to her once I got home. Hopefully she wouldn’t be too bored for the time I left her. I closed the door behind me as I walked to work.

I woke up at what the clock said it was 10:30. Daddy left over two hours ago. I wish I would start waking up early enough to see him. I went over to the back door to go outside when I remembered that I couldn’t anymore. That saddened me also. Now I couldn’t do anything for the rest of the day. Racing was off and there was nothing else on TV. I sighed as I went to the kitchen to get breakfast. Daddy made me hotcakes.
“My favorite” I said to myself with a smile on my face. 
I ate them happily making sure not to mess up my mane that Daddy worked so hard to groom yesterday. I wanted to look around the house a little more as well. I saw two doors that I had never seen open. One was locked and the other wasn’t. I jumped my way inside the unlocked room and saw a lot of items on shelves. There were toys and books on there. Were they my Daddies? 
I grabbed one that was on the floor. It was a small car. Like the one I see on the racing channel. It was a light blue. But this one had a rainbow mark on the spoiler. I wheeled it across the room. I accidentally made it crash into another car I didn’t see. This new one was black and white. I got an idea a minute later.
I took both cars and made a makeshift ramp out of a wooden board that I found in the same room. The ramp led off of the coffee table onto the floor which led to the cabinets in the kitchen. I set both cars on the top of the ramp and got ready to let them both go.
I even bothered to narrate it all. Even though it made me feel silly. The blue one would be number 13 while the black one would be 31. “Ready. Set. GO!” I say as I let both cars go and watch them go down the ramp onto the floor. “Right now it’s 31 in the lead! No wait, now its 13. 31! 13! And the winner is….13!”
I sounded a little stupid, but it was still fun. I grabbed both cars and kept racing them for hours. Each time I changed the position of the ramp, being sure to give the black car a little bit of a lead, and every time it still lost to the blue car. I was so preoccupies with the cars that I didn’t notice the door open and close behind me.
“Dashie, could you come here” I hear my Daddy say to me.
“Ok” I say back. I put the cars up before going to him.
I run my way up to him where he gives me something wrapped in a colorful paper. I used my teeth to rip open the paper to find a small box. I opened the box and saw a small device. I read what it said on the cover of the device aloud.
“Game boy color.” I then read out the name of the cartridge “Poke…mon Crystal…”
Daddy showed me how to make it work by charging it and putting the game inside the device. After an hour where I learned the game, it was amazing, and plus it really only need one button at a time. So I could use my hooves to play it! My daddy got me a gift… even when it wasn’t my birthday or a special occasion. This is why I love my Daddy. I played the game all day until it was midnight. Daddy let me stay up late so I could enjoy myself. Oh well. I can play all day tomorrow…

Did you like it? I think I did better than the last one. I’m kind of trying to do a lot more writing that normal to escape from my family. Oh well, Thank you for reading so far!
