Mooky

Mom requested I write a children's story about her new stuffed animal. It looks like a green cow with a pink nose, belly, and horns and red and yellow polka dots. Blogger's not being nice to me right now, so if you want a picture, you'll have to head over to her blog to check it out.

My problem is, I don't know how the story ends, so I need your help, dear readers, to tell me what happens so I can finish the story.

If you asked any kid at Clow Elementary School who the weirdest kid was, the kid would have said Mooky. It wasn't enough that Mooky was a pink and green cow with polka dots. Mooky's eyes pointed in different directions. Mooky always got his colors mixed up. And Mooky was very very clumsy. Mooky tried to be friendly, but he got teased a lot, and he was very sensitive.

One day, during recess, the kids started a game of Red Rover, Red Rover. Mooky watched for a few minutes, then tapped a girl named Tilly on the shoulder. "Um... excuse me..." he said hesitantly.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Can I play too, please?" Mooky asked.

"Oh okay," Tilly said. She took his hand and yelled, "Red Rover, Red Rover, send Eddie right over!"

Eddie ran from the other team and sprinted right towards Tilly's and Mooky's clasped hands. Mooky held her hand really really tight as Eddie crashed into their hands. Because he didn't let go, Eddie joined their side.

Tilly smiled at him. "Good job, Mooky," she said. "Now you get to yell."

Mooky took a deep breath to yell, and Tilly shook him. "No, not yet! The other team gets to go first! ...Of course."

"Oh." He waited while the other team yelled for Samantha to come over. She ran and broke through the other team's hands, so she took Will and came back to Mooky's team.

"Okay, now yell," said Tilly.

Mooky took a deep breath and yelled, "Green Rover, Blue Rover..." and then stopped because everyone was laughing. "What?" he asked, his ears drooping sadly.

"Red!" said Tilly. "You weirdo, it's Red Rover!"

Mooky dropped his head. "I'm not a weirdo."

"Oh yeah?" said Tilly. "Say it again. Red Rover."

Mooky sighed and took another deep breath to yell again, "Gray Rover, Pink Rover..."

Half the team collapsed to the ground, they were laughing so hard. The other half the team just rolled their eyes. "Weirdo," said Tilly. Mooky cried and ran away.

I don't know what happens next. Or rather, I'm not sure how it happens. Ideas?
