Good Morning, Sunshine!

Sunny sat up in bed, stretching her arms high above her head with a beaming smile. The golden morning light poured through her floor-to-ceiling window.

“What do you have in store for me today?” she asked inquisitively.

Flipping back the covers, she pivoted gracefully, her feet landing perfectly in her fuzzy pink bunny slippers. She walked over to the other side of the bed and rustled her husband.

“Wake up, sleepyhead! It’s a glorious day out there!”

Sky groaned, opening one eye. “Why are you so chipper today—like every day?”

Sunny laughed. “Ha! Well, you know me. I like to see the sunny side of life.”

Sky pulled a pillow over his head. “Go away. Shine your rays of sunshine somewhere else.”

Clouds drifted in, dulling the morning light.

Sunny picked up a pillow and playfully bopped Sky on the head. “Don’t be a grumpy grump. Come on, let’s get breakfast and go exploring!”

He groaned, pulling the floral duvet over his shoulders. “Leave me alone. I just want to sleep.”

Sunny snatched his pillow again and bopped him once more. “Don’t be a stick in the mud! There’s so much to do and see!”

Sky turned over and sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and running his fingers through his hair. “Why are you so bright? Don’t you ever get annoyed?”

Sunny leaned down and kissed him on the lips. “Nope! I never get annoyed,” she gleamed.

Sky sighed. “I have a migraine. Please keep the light out. Let me sleep—I feel awful.”

Raindrops began pattering against the window.

Sunny walked over and looked out, scanning the sky. “Look, Sky—a rainbow!” She giggled. “That’s funny, because Rainbow said she was taking us out to lunch today.”

Sky groaned. “Oh man, Rainbow. You know I can’t stand her. Can’t we meet up with the Stars instead? She’s so annoying. I love you forever and always, but sometimes, I need quiet. You know what happens if I push myself when I don’t feel good.”

Sunny bit her lip. “I sure do—you can get quite turbulent. Okay, I’ll ask Rainbow for a rain date.”

Sky sighed in relief. “Thanks, my sunny bunny honey.” He laid back down. “I love you.”

Sunny kissed his cheek and tucked the covers around him. “I love you too—to the moon and back.”

With a skip in her step, she danced out of the room, singing, “I’ve got sunshine…!”
