A child wants to go play outside with his friends but it started raining.

Was that the sun? I thought it was going to rain today.
In the main bathroom, I splashed on the bath water, laughing and playing with my rubber ducky.
The sun was shining. That meant I got to play with my friends!
I found my friends already at the park. One of them, Michael pushed another friend, Brandon on the swings.
Before I could say “Hi”, rain came pouring down.
Oh, no! What do we-
We started getting lifted to the sky. Where were we going?
"What's happening?!" Brandom screamed.
"I don't know!" I said. "I'm scared!"
We stood on top of clouds.
Talking rain clouds walked to us.
"Greetings, humans!"
I hid behind my friends.
"Do not be afraid. We mean no harm. We would like to be your friends."
I came back to the front and asked, "Um, where are we?"
"Well, you're in a safe place. It's called the Mist of Relaxation. It's a place where you can relax.
"So, you guys make it rain?" I asked.
The thing nodded its cloudy head.
"Can you make it disappear?"
"Of course." It snapped its fingers, and we fell slowly back down to earth.
The sun was shining again!
