Teddy Bear on Crack
Day 1
I had been sitting in this box for weeks; it was plain, brown and smelled like new shoes. I'm a teddy bear; I have chocolate brown color fur and I have beady, black, eyes. I'm pretty old fashion compared to my other friends who have silky, fuzzy fur. My career is as the loving toy of a child and I was waiting to be given to. I was to be given as a present and he would open the box and hug me. I could hear the birthday party going on. The birthday boy was named Alec. His friends and family were signing happy birthday, he had just turned three. I listened to the parents picking up presents and one by one he opened them and I waited patiently for my turn. I knew that soon, my big moment would come.
Finally it was my turn. I could feel the box being lifted and brought over to Alec. I could hear the child ripping the wrapping paper off the box and then I saw the light and Alec. Alec had very dark hair, it looked almost black. He had vibrant, blue, eyes. He put his hand around my waist and lifted me out of the box and smiled. I braced myself to be squeezed, hugged, and embraced, but it didn't happen.
"Thank you so much Isabelle it's perfect!" He examined me.
"Your welcome! When I herd that you wanted a stuffed toy I figured that I should get it for you." She smiled sweetly. I wish that she would have been the child to accept me, but no, it had to be this unloving child. Isabelle would have caressed me in her arms and played with me.
"What are you going to name him?" Isabelle asked. Obviously she was interested in me. Alec paused to think, he hadn't planed on giving me a name. I hope he names me something like Mr. Cudlebuns or Brownie. I know, maybe Truffles!
"I know! I'll name him "The Evil Grizzles"!" WHAT!! I'm not evil! I'm nice, fluffy, and cuddly! Not evil! Isabelle grimaced in disgust.
"That's mean! He's a teddy bear! Teddy bears are nice, fluffy, and cuddly, not evil!" She crossed her arms over her chest. I liked Isabelle, she understood me.
"Now dear, Alec can name him what ever he wants." Alec's mother said.
"It's not a "he"; it's a "her"." Alec said. WHAT! I'm a guy thank you very much!
"He looks like a guy to me." Isabelle objected.
"No, she's not." Alec shouted back. They started bickering and fighting.
"Stop this right now!" Alec's mom yelled.
"The teddy bear's a "her" and her name's The Evil Grizzles and that's that!" Isabelle grimaced and crossed her arms over her chest and Alec grinned with content.
He picked me up and brought me to his room. When we got there he sat on his bed, still holding on to me. He looked at me and grinned.
"We are going to have a great time Evil Grizzles." What was that I saw in his eyes? What ever it was, it gave me the chills. I started regretting coming in this business…
