Stuffed animals

Ally Dawson has been sick all week and because of this unable to hang out with Trish, Austin and Dez. Now it's bed-time. Ally's in bed, but she can't sleep. All of her stuffed animals are there and she still can't sleep. All of Ally's stuffed animals are there. Except for Dougie, the Dolphin, of course, since she gave him to Austin.

"Awww, you guys are the best friends a girl can have now." says Ally to her stuffed animals.

She look around in the bed to make sure they are there. Larry, the Laughing Lizard. Danny, the Dog. Connie, the Crazy Cow. Bobby, the Bear. And all the others. Everyone is in place.

It's almost a month since Ally gave away Dougie to Austin. Things haven't been the same among Ally's stuffed animals without Dougie. He was Ally's favorite, after all, but Ally knows that her beloved toy is always safe with Austin.

"You are like my kids, in a way." says Ally to her stuffed animals as she wrap her arms around them.

Ally has always loved stuffed animals. Some of them, such as Bobby, the Bear has been with her since kindergarten-years.

She's got many stuffed animals, but Dougie, the Dolphin was always Ally's no. 1 stuffie, all since she got him for her 7'th birthday. He still is, even if he belong to Austin now.

"Do you miss Dougie? Yeah, me too." says Ally to Connie, the Crazy Cow.

Ally knows that she's a little old to still love her stuffed animals, but she doesn't care that it's a childish thing. To her it's pretty normal and since Austin clearly like them too it can't be that bad.

This is one of those things about Ally that not even Trish, her BFF knows about. Ally has never told Trish about her collection of beloved stuffed animals.

The stuffed animals are Ally's primary guilty pleasure.

Ally keep her stuffed animals on her bed, but hide them in her closet when Trish come over simply to visit, do homework or for a sleepover.

She don't really know why she keep this one secret from Trish, since she tell Trish pretty much everything else. Maybe she's afraid to show her childish side to Trish...?

"My sweet cute little stuffies!" says Ally in a girly childish tone as she place some of the stuffed animals on her pillow, close to her neck.

Ally is happy that nobody can hear her, now when she's being totally childish, havin' fun with her stuffies.

Her dad, Lester Dawson...does he know about her stuffed animals? She really don't know if he know.

Ally's dad rarely visit her room these days. Lester Dawson may be a fun and often a bit childish man, but he understand that his daughter is a teenage girl and teenage girls need their privacy.

On the other hand it wouldn't hurt if her dad knew. It's not like he'd tell everyone about it.

Where did Ally get her stuffed animals, you might wonder.

Most of them are birthday and christmas gifts. Some she's bought herself on vacations and such.

"Aww!" says Ally in a soft little voice. "I love my stuffies!"

Ally smile and hug her beloved stuffed animals. Soon she finally fall asleep with all of the stuffed animals still around her, of course.

The End.
