Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Commentary by Lynn and Bunbun

Once upon a time in a large forest, close to a village, stood the cottage where the Azari family lived. Afekia Azari was very big, Lynn Azari was middling in size, and Shue eh Azari was tiny.

"What? 'Middling in size'? So i'm supposedly the momma bear? How do I, in any way, act like a mom?"

Bunbun grinned. "Why don't you take off the apron first and THEN ask me?"

Each bear had its own size of bed. Afekia Azari's was large and nice and comfy. Lynn Azari's bed was middling in size, while Shue eh Azari had a fine little cherrywood bed that Afekia Azari had ordered from a couple of beaver friends.

Beside the fireplace, around which the family sat in the evenings, stood a large carved chair for the head of the house, a delightful blue velvet armchair for Lynn, and a very little chair for Shue eh.

"Armchair? What is this nonsense? I want a throne!" Lynn demanded.

"Put a sock in it, Fluffy." Was Bunbun's response.

Neatly laid out on the kitchen table stood three china bowls. A large one for Afekia, a smaller one for Lynn, and a little bowl for Shue eh.

The neighbours were all very respectful to Afekia and people raised their hats when he went by. Afekia liked that and he always politely replied to their greetings. Lynn had lots of friends.

"Bull. Since when do I have friends?" Lynn questioned.

"Lighten up will you, it's just a story!" Bunbun told him cheerfully.

"You're just happy because you're not in it yet!" Lynn snapped at her.

"So what? That's a reason to be happy, isn't it?" Bunbun replied.

He visited them in the afternoons to exchange good advice and recipes for jam and bottled fruit. Shue eh, however, had hardly any friends.

"Again, wrong. He has far too many of them!"

This was partly because he was rather a bully and liked to win games and arguments. He was a pest too and always getting into mischief.

"I think they must have gotten Shue eh and you mixed up, Lynn." Bunbun said.

"What? I'm not a pest! I'm a king!" Lynn declared.

Not far away, lived a fair-haired little girl who had a similar nature to Shue eh, only she was haughty and stuck-up as well, and though Shue eh often asked her to come and play, she always said no.

One day, Lynn made a nice pudding.

"Like hell I did."

It was a new recipe, with blueberries and other crushed berries. His friends told him it was delicious. When it was ready, he said to the family:

"It has to be left to cool now, otherwise it won't taste nice. That will take at least an hour. Why don't we go and visit the Rafael's new baby? Scar will be pleased to see us."

"Oh yes, I'm sure that idiot will be delighted to have Afekia and I over to visit." Lynn said sarcastically.

Afekia and Shue eh would much rather have tucked into the pudding, warm or not, but they liked the thought of visiting the new baby.

'We must wear our best clothes, even for such a short visit. Everyone at Rafael's will be very busy now, and we must not stay too long!" And so they set off along the pathway towards the river bank. A short time later, the stuck-up little girl, whose name was Bunbun, passed by the Azari's house as she picked flowers.

"Curses! I am in the story!" Bunbun said

"Well who else did you think Goldilocks would be?" Lynn questioned her.

"I was hoping maybe Ariel…"

"Oh, what an ugly house the Azari's have!" said Bunbun to herself as she went down the hill. "I'm going to peep inside! It won't be beautiful like my house, but I'm dying to see where Shue eh lives.' Knock! Knock! The little girl tapped on the door. Knock! Knock! Not a sound...

"Surely someone will hear me knocking," Bunbun said to himself, impatiently. "Anyone at home?" she called, peering round the door. Then she went into the empty house and started to explore the kitchen.

"A pudding!" she cried, dipping her finger into the pudding Lynn had left to cool. "Quite nice!" she murmured, spooning it from Shue eh's bowl. In a twinkling, the bowl lay empty on a messy table. With a full tummy, Bunbun went on exploring.

"Now then, this must be Afekia's chair, this will be Lynn's, and this one . . . must belong to my friend, Shue eh. I'll just sit on it a while!" With these words, Bunbun sat herself down onto the little chair which, quite unused to such a sudden weight, promptly broke a leg.

"Hahahahahah!" Lynn laughed.

"What? What is so funny?"

"You're too heavy for Shue eh's chair… Fatass."

"Don't call me that!"

"Oh what? You'd rather me call you princess?"

"...Yes."

"...huh."

"..."

"...Fatass."

"ARGH!"'

Bunbun crashed to the floor, but not in the least dismayed by the damage she had done, she went upstairs.

There was no mistaking which was Shue eh's bed.

"Mm! Quite comfy!" she said, bouncing on it. "Not as nice as mine, but nearly!" Then she yawned. I think I'll lie down, only for a minute . . . just to try the bed." And in next to no time, Bunbun lay fast asleep in Shue eh's bed. In the meantime, the Azaris were on their way home.

"Wasn't the new baby ever so small?" said Shue eh to Lynn and Afekia. "Was I as tiny as that when I was born?"

"Not quite, but almost," came the reply. From a distance, Afekia noticed the door was ajar.

"Hurry!" he cried. "Someone is in our house . . ." Was Afekia hungry or did a thought strike him? Anyway, he dashed into the kitchen. "I knew it! Somebody has gobbled up the pudding..."

"I bet he just wanted to eat it all for himself." Lynn muttered.

"Well, I would!" Bunbun told him.

"Yes, but that's because you're a fatass."

"Someone has been jumping up and down on my armchair!" complained Lynn.

". . . and somebody's broken my chair!" wailed Shue eh.

Where could the culprit be? They all ran upstairs and tiptoed in amazement over to Shue eh's bed. In it lay Bunbun, sound asleep. Shue eh prodded her toe...

"Who's that? Where am I?" shrieked the little girl, waking with a start. Taking fright at the scowling faces bending over her, she clutched the bedclothes up to her chin. Then she jumped out of bed and fled down the stairs.

"Get away! Away from that house!" she told herself as she ran, forgetful of all the trouble she had so unkindly caused. But Shue eh called from the door, waving his arm:

"Don't run away! Come back! I forgive you... come and play with me!"

"When she returned, however, Ore-sama immediately cast her into the dungeons, for eating all of his pudding."

"…I don't think that's how it ends, Lynn."

"No, but it should."

And this is how it all ended. From that day onwards, haughty rude Bunbun became a pleasant little girl. She made friends with Shue eh and often went to his house. She invited her to her house too, and they remained good friends, always.

Hi guys.
I didn't update because the artist of this manhwa forbade it for a while. But then she said later that we could, just not too fast. So sorry for the long wait, but it partially wasn't my fault.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed, and go check out 'ygotas ftw'z fanfic. I think she's going to post a new one up in honor of the artist's birthday either today or tomorrow.
Ciao~
