This is an idea I got from episode 13 in season 2 – "The Problem with Pauly". If you look closely at the end of the episode, you can see that Tawni looks like she is talking to the giant yellow teddy bear. I actually came up with the idea a little over 2 weeks ago, but I was in Europe up until yesterday :) I stayed up all night on the plane to write this because the idea was nagging me ... so hope you enjoy :)
Summary: "What are you? Like a Yellow Teletuby?" Chad and Sonny are happy, and so are Hank and Ms. Bitterman. Now it's Tawni's turn to get set up. Channy, Tawni/OC
The first part is Tawni's pov and the second is Sonny's :)
Disclaimer: I own nothing. :)
I giggled internally as Ms. Bitterman and I walked into the cafe. The room was full of weirdo's walking around in animal costumes. I almost giggled aloud, but being the amazing, and beautiful actress I was, I managed to keep it in. It probably might not be a good idea to jeopardize my C+ by insulting Ms. Bitterman's "Hanky-Wanky" by laughing at his profession, even if it was hilarious.
As always, my timing was absolutely flawless. Just like in one of those cliché movies, we walked in just as Hank said "...besides, the kids need me." What did she see in that guy anyways? He was old, and had white hair...and had spent the last 25 years in a polar bear suit! But anyways, I picked that moment to make our presence known, and raised my voice slightly to say, "They're not the only ones!"
As soon as those words left my mouth, Hank turned around and locked eyes with Ms. Bitterman...As disturbing as it was, it was truly a sweet moment. They were really perfect for each other. Almost as perfect as Chad and Sonny...but of course only almost.
"Go ahead Ms. Bitterman!" Give me my C+ and go get your man!" I smiled as Ms. Bitterman ran towards Hank. How could that possibly be the same woman who practiced scowling in the mirror? She just looked completely love struck, exactly like how Chad and Sonny constantly looked, who were giggling a few metres away from them, indubitably happy about the great job they had done convincing Hank to keep working as Pauly. Which really isn't that great of an accomplishment, because really, who needs a giant polar bear?
I cringed a little as I continued to watch them. By this point I had stepped to the side, and was leaning against the counter. As sweet as the two were, I found it kind of weird to see them flirting so openly... I mean they were like really old – like 40!
"It can be a little disturbing, right..."
I looked towards my left, were the voice was coming from. I imagined it to be a hot guy to match with the sexy voice, but I giggled when I saw that it was one of the dorks in a costume. "I know, right?" I giggled some more, as I realized I was having a normal conversation with a giant yellow teddy "And what are you supposed to be? Some kind of yellow teletuby?", I joked.
"No...well honestly, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be...I just took this job because I was in need of some cash, so my uncle, the dude flirting over there, got me a job here. Definitely not ideal, but I need something to tie me over until I make it in the acting business," he said, pointing towards Hank and Ms Bitterman.
I looked over at them, and gasped when I saw what was going on. The cat had sunk it's claws straight into Hanks face! "Oh my god! Sorry, I have to go; the grade on my book report is in jeopardy! I'll be right back..."
I rushed over to where Ms Bitterman and Sonny were standing. After reassuring myself that my grade was in fact still going to be a C+, I turned again to look for the yellow teddy. I returned to talk to him, as I knew from past experience that Chad and Sonny were not good company, unless you were looking to start feeling lonely as a single. They were just too lovey-dovey!
I talked with my new buddy, who I had begun to imagine as a Taylor Lautner type, all evening, when I was finally kicked out of the restaurant. We had had talked about everything, both totally at ease with one another. I had learned that he has a younger sister and parents living a few hours out of the city. He has his own apartment only a few kilometers away from mine and my mom's apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walked into my dressing room the next morning, feeling much better than I had last night. Despite the repeat of our 5 weekaversary, Chad and I had enjoyed the rest of our evening. Just like with the gas station sushi, the nausea passed almost right away.
But I stopped short when I entered the room. The sight I would normally walk in on would be Tawni sitting in front of her mirror, mumbling to herself about how pretty she is. Instead, he was sitting on the love seat, sighing – and not just any sighing, boy sighing! I decided to keep my observation to myself for the moment, and wait to see how this all played out. I sat down at my table, and began looking through some fan mail I had received yesterday. When I heard a light humming coming from behind me, I couldn't help myself anymore.
"OMG! Tawni! I heard that...that was boy sighing and humming. You must be really smitten with whoever this guy is!"
"He's amazing...", she replied, all too lovestruck to realize what she had just admitted.
"So...who is he...?"
"Ummm...none of your business!" Tawni's sudden change of heart surprised me.
"Awww come on Tawni! We're friends, aren't we?", my begging seemed to soften Tawni's resolve, as she mumbled something.
"I don't have super-sonic hearing ya know, you're going to have to talk a little louder..."
"He's a frigging yellow Teddy bear okay?", she suddenly burst out.
Though normally I am not a person to get confused easily, I was puzzled, and my face must have been showing this because Tawni sighed, and began to explain. "I met him yesterday, at the cafe, he was the hunk in the yellow teddy bear costume... And I don't know his name, I don't even know what he looks like."
"If you never saw him without the costume, how do you know he's a hunk?", I said carefully, trying to figure out everything about the situation without upsetting Tawni.
"I can just tell by his voice..." Wow, she must have really fallen for this guy...under normal circumstances, anybody who dares to question Tawni gets their head bitten off, quite literally.
When she turned away from me, to continue her day dreaming, I took the opportunity to slip out the door. I had something very important to take care of.
Hope you liked :) This story will be only a few chapters long like my last one :)
I plan to finish it before school starts ... if you want to speed up the process the best thing to do is review... :P
