Chapter 2: Chatting and Cuddling
After I got out of bed, I got ready for the day and got to work. Like I said, I was quite busy. However, I was able to get everything done by the end of the day.
After all my chores were done, I decided to hang out with my Build-a-Bear Chase. My family had pretty much gone to bed or were hanging out somewhere else in the house, so it would just be Chase and I hanging out in my bedroom.
I got into my pajamas, made sure my door was closed, checked to make sure nobody would hear us, then went to my bed, got in, and pulled the covers over us. I then gently hugged Chase. After a moment or two. Chase blinked as I pulled away from our hug.
"Hi," Chase said before I put a finger to my lips.
"We need to whisper. My family might be sleeping, and we don't want anyone else to find out you're alive. They wouldn't understand," I replied to my Chase plush as he nodded before saying "I'm sorry". I nodded back in understanding. Chase then got to look around my bedroom. It was white with pictures of wolves, and other animal and fantasy items. Chase was curious and then looked at me.
"You must really like wolves," he commented. It was more of a comment and question at the same time, rather than a compliment.
"I do. They are my favorite animal, next to bats," I replied. Chase smiled, happy by my answer as his tail started to wag.
"Say, Chase? I'm curious, if I just wanted to hug you out of kindness, would you turn back into a plush or no?" I asked, not sure about the conditions of Build-a-Bears coming to life by hugging or kissing.
"We only come to life if your hug is displayed by emotions of wanting a friend around, or just being comfortable while sleeping. Otherwise we stay a plush, or in the case of being alive, it would be like you hugging a person. Just two buddies showing emotions toward each other," Chase explained calmly.
"Okay," I responded. That made a lot more sense. Chase then looked around the room, then back to me.
"So? - What do we do now? Besides sleeping and cuddling?" Chase asked me quietly, but in a kind voice.
"Anything we want. As long as we aren't loud and don't stay up really late. It's only ten o' clock now," I replied after looking at my clock.
"So, got any ideas? I feel comfortable with just cuddling if you want to," Chase commented to me.
"That's fine," I replied, before getting back into bed, and pulling the covers over Chase and I.
"Hey!" Chase cried out as I accidentally covered him up completely with the bed sheet. He looked like a ghost pup to me.
"Oops. I'm sorry buddy. Although you do look like a ghost!" I said half-jokingly.
"Booooooooooo!" Chase quietly said as he walked around pretending to be a ghost. I quietly chucked at Chase's ghost acting before pulling the sheet off of him. Chase giggled before walking over to me and letting me hug him.
"Goodnight Chase," I said, properly pulling the covers over us.
"Goodnight," Chase said before cuddling with me. It wasn't long after that that he turned back into a plush.
