Dangers by the Puzzled Guinea Pig

Hi! This is Rainy. I'm going to tell you the story of me and Cinnamon.

CHAPTER 1

   "Hi, Rainy." Cinnamon squeaked.
   "Hello, Cinnamon." Rainy replied, flicking an ear.
   Splash, a black, white, an light brown sow came out of the hutch. "Hello, everyone. Good morning. How was your day yesterday?' Splash asked the guineas.
   "It was fine. But are you kidding me?! We're stuck in this tiny, cramped cage and you can watch my every move even if you're on the other side of the 10 gallon tank!"
   Splash let out an amused purr. "That's what happens when we're at Petco. No veggies, tiny FISH tank with no ventilation..."
   Cinnamon pressed her face against the cage bottom. "It still has Missy's scent." Missy was the previous guinea in the fish tank. Since the Petco employees didn't disinfect the fish tank when new guineas were put in, fights broke out because Missy had her scent all over the tank.
   "I know." Rainy said, shuddering. "That was one of the worst times of my life." Missy has picked on all of the guinea pigs.
   "Well, now we have Rosy to deal with." Splash said.
   Cinnamon let out a small, annoyed purr. "Rosy's had a hard time. She's also my half sister, so give her a break. Plus she keeps all of us in line."
   Rainy gave Cinnamon a rough lick on her ear. "What happened to her?"
   Rosy lumbered out of the hidey. "I hear you guys talking about me. What's going on?" Rosy snapped.
   Cinnamon and Rosy looked down at their paws. Splash was more bold. "What happened to you?"
   Rosy flicked her ear. "What do you mean?" she asked.
   "Why are you so mean all the time?" Splash repeated.
   Rainy leapt over to Splash and gave her a small nip on the ear. "Don't ask her that!" Rainy hissed.
   "No, it's fine." Rosy replied.
   Cinnamon lay down.
   "I started out in a mill. My mother and father were cuy, so I was larger than most pups. my mother dubbed me Rosette, because of the rosette on my forehead.My name is pronounced like Rosetta but the thing on my forehead is pronounced like ro sett. The mean people thought that I would make a good mother, so they tried to breed me multiple times. I wouldn't stand for it, so they shipped me off here. I tried to get bought multiple times, because of how I look, you know, bigger,, since I'm cuy, I'm more skittish than most guinea pigs, since cuy are bred for meat and no body would buy me.
   "So I got shipped over here, and I lived through Missy. That's how I got this nick on my ear. Missy wouldn't stand for my name. She said we are individuals and we should have our own names. She wanted to change my name to Sissy, because that's what I was. Her sister.
   "But I refused. I loved my mother, and there was no way I was going to change the name she gave me. But Missy was the dominant one. She said I HAD to change my name or she would kill me. So that's how I ended up Rosy. Thankfully she had no idea Rosy is short for Rosette or Rossetta.
   "Then, Missy got sent away. Then you guys came." Rosy's eyes glistened with pain. "I'll be sad when you guys get sent away. You guys are the closest thing to family I ever had. My mother died of pregnancy toxemia, my sister was Missy... You guys are like the family I never had."
   "I had no idea you felt that way..." Rainy murmured.
   "I'm sorry I asked you about your history." Splash said.
   "No, it's fine, Splash. It felt nice to tell somebody." Rosy said. "And I want my old name back. Can you guys call me Rosette?"
   Rainy, Cinnamon, and Splash licked Rosette's ear. "Yes. Yes. We'll do anything for family." Rainy whispered.
   Suddenly huge, heavy footsteps came down the hallway. "Everyone hide!" Rosette ordered. Kids pressed their faces up against the glass. They pointed to a guinea pig.
   The guineas heard the key in the lock turn and the fish tank began to move. A hand reached in a tried to pick up Rosette.
   "Rosette!" Cinnamon screeched.
   "I'll be fine!" Rosette squealed back. "Save yourself!" Rosette suddenly sat still and allowed the worker to pick her up.
   "ROSETTE!" Splash cried, as Rosette was being lifted up in the air.
   "I love you guys!" Rosette cried.
