When they came home Skye stormed to the hammock, pulling Steve, whose leash she held with her. But it was empty! Tears filled her eyes. Alfie had been was the first teddy-bear she had ever had and she had lost it within an hour. She couldn't breathe. This couldn't be true! It couldn't be gone! She started when she suddenly felt a hand on her back. "Hey Skye! It's okay! We'll find him!", Bobbi tried to calm her and rubbed her back. "We'll go looking for him right now!" But just the moment she said that it started to pour. They were wet within seconds. "Okay! Maybe we'll do it later! We'll only catch a cold if we go now!", Matt threw in. "But, he's getting wet! He's all alone!", Skye sobbed. "Yeah, I know! And as soon as the rain stops we'll go! But maybe Mom or Dad have seen Alfie! Let's go inside and ask them!" Bobbi offered Skye her hand and they went up to the house.

The moment Bobbi opened the door, Mrs. Coulson blocked the doorway. "Bobbi! Don't you dare take the dog's inside! I just cleaned the floor!" "Yeah Mom! I know! They're staying on the veranda!" She freed both of the dogs from their leashes and sent them off to their cushions. "Mom?", Matt asked. "Have you seen Skye's teddy bear somewhere?" Mrs. Coulson wrinkled her brows. "Skye?" At everybody's surprise the girl herself answered. "I don't like my name!", she explained with a heavy voice. "So want to be called Skye now!" Mrs. Coulson smiled. "You're right, Mary-Sue is a horrible name! But I like Skye! It suits you!"

Skye smiled, happy about the compliment. But then her expression got worried again. "So have you seen Alfie? My bear?" Her eyes brightened when Mrs. Coulson nodded. "Jessica found him outside! She took him inside so he wouldn't get wet! She's in her room now, if you want I'll go and get it with you." Skye nodded eagerly, and wanted to storm into the house right now, but Bobbi held her back. "Stop! You heard Mom! She just cleaned the door! Put off your jacket and your shoes and leave them here!" The girl did as she was told, and as soon as she was done she looked at Mrs. Coulson. "Come on now!" She waved Skye inside and they went up together. "Should I knock?", Mrs. Coulson asked as they stood in front of Jessica's door. Skye shook her head. "I can do that myself." She took a deep breath and knocked. "Yes?", came the answer immediately. Skye pushed the door open, very careful and slow. "Jessica?", she asked shyly. Her new sister lay on the bed, placed opposite to the door, looking at her phone. "Hi Mary! What's up?" That sounded a bit bored, but not unfriendly. "Mrs. Coul... Your Mom said you found my Teddy bear?" Jessica nodded and got up. "Yes, I took him inside so it wouldn't get lost." She went to the desk and picked something up. "He was pretty cold, so I gave him a little scarf." Skye's eyes widened when she saw that Alfie was wearing a cute little purple wool scarf. "Thank you!" She cuddled her bear, and suddenly, she went to her big sister and hugged her! "Thank you sooooo much!" "Ehm... you're welcome." Jessica seemed unsure what to do, so she just patted Skye's back. "I usually knit scarves for my turtle, but he has already many scarves, and I thought your bear would need it more!" Skye just smiled. "Do you want to see my turtle?" The girl nodded. "I would love to!" Jessica smiled and turned to the terrarium next to her bed. She opened it and put a little turtle out of it. "This is Kevin!", she introduced her pet. "Ooooh! He's so cute! Can I touch him? I've never touched a turtle before!" "Of course! You can even hold him if you want."

"But... I don't want it to poop on me!", Skye considered. Jessica giggled. "He doesn't do that! He has his toilet." Without waiting for her little sister to agree Jessica put Kevin into Skye's hands, who stared at him like he was an alien."It's amazing! He feels... weird... like leather!" She squealed when the turtle suddenly began to flail about and almost dropped him. "Whoa! Careful!" "Sorry!" Quickly she gave the turtle back to Jessica who put it back in the terrarium.

"Skye?" They had totally forgotten that Mrs. Coulson still stood in the door. "How about you help me make dinner? Jessica has to study! She's writing a test tomorrow." Jessica moaned. "Mom! I studied all afternoon! Give me a break!" "Last time I wasn't this strict and we saw what the outcome was! Another grade like that and you won't pass the year!" "Okay, okay! You're right!" She sighed and moved back to her desk. "I'll be better this time! I promise!" Her mother smiled. "I know you will!" She went after Jessica and hugged her from behind. "You're not stupid! Just lazy!" She gave her a kiss on her dark hair , then turned around to Skye. "Come on! Let's go downstairs and cook some dinner!" "But... I've never cooked before!", Skye told her foster mother shyly. "No problem, sweetheart! I'll show you! You're going to be a master chef real soon!"
