Teddy Bear's Tale

Here is the story behind the Teddy Bear.

Enjoy!

"Juni!" Haruhi yelled to her five year old sister, Haruhi herself was seven.

Juni had been twirling around the living room like she always does. "yes Haru-chan~" Juniper sing-songed as she twirled away in her dress.

"Juni can you stop spinning your going to get dizzy and clumsy." Haruhi said sternly as she watched her sister twirl around the room.

"But I like spinning." Juni said as she stopped twirling and laid on the couch, her head in her sister's lap.

"well you will get sick to your stomach if you do it to much." Haruhi said as she smoothed her sister's hair.

"When is daddy going to be home?" Juni asked as she played with a lock of her sister's long red hair.

Haruhi who was running her hands through Juni's long and wild white hair unconsciously, looked at the clock and then thought about her father's time schedule.

"He should be home a little bit after we go to sleep, why do you ask?" Haruhi said looking at her sister.

"Well I wanted to go play in the forest. I wonder if Lulu-chan is there." Juni said, the last part was more to herself then Haruhi.

"Lulu-chan? Who is that?" Haruhi asked confused, Juni has never mentioned a Lulu before.

As they were heading out of the house towards the forest Haruhi noticed that once again her sister was twirling around as she skipped onto large rocks and over small branches that littered the leave covered ground.

It was a pleasant and very soothing place, where they always felt happy especially since their mom died.

The trees always shimmered with their leaves dancing merrily with the passing winds, the animals and woodland creatures always lead a chase, to which the girls enjoyed as they explored the forest trying to keep up with the sprinting figures and animals that were skipping away from them as if to say 'catch me if you can.'

Today was no different; the girls had just caught up with the little fairies that had been wizzing around the girls heads giggling and putting flower petals all around them. The fairies had nicknamed the girls, they told them it was because the girls were one of them, even if they were pixies, they were as close as family with all the fairy and pixie.

Haruhi had been named 'Spring' or 'Cherry' for her red hair that they always filled with flowers and leaves.

Somehow they always ended up with glittery sugar on their faces and their hair in braids or wild with mini braids in it, but no matter what they always had vibrant colored flowers of all shapes and sizes. The fairies had named Juniper 'Snow' or 'Little Bird' because she was so hyper and she was always swirling around like a fresh fallen snowflake dancing in the wind.

The girls were now sitting on a large tree root and were making flower sashes when suddenly a fairy that had black hair with white strikes in it popped onto Juniper's shoulder.

The fairy then began to whisper into Juniper's ear about things like the river's secrets, and the animals fair that was happening in the middle of the forest, Juniper started to giggle and then full on laughed till she fell off the tree root and into a patch of moss.

"Juni are you ok?" Haruhi asked as she jumped off and helped her sister up.

"hehe, you should here what Whoot said to Langster." Juniper said as she giggled and covered her mouth with her hands.

Haruhi then noticed that Langster the fox was not looking at Whoot the owl and was not even trying to play his normal games with him.

"What did you say to him Whoot?" Haruhi asked the owl, who in turn just 'hooted', Haruhi gasped.

"That was a little rude, don't you think?" Haruhi said as she put her hands on her hips, the owl just looked away from her and 'hmphed' in her general direction.

She just laughed as the owl turned back and if owls could smile you would see one on his face, he 'hooted' again and this time the fox next to him smiled and started to prance around and play with the girls and the owl.`

Soon enough it was time to leave for home, for their father would home soon so they said their goodbyes only to be stopped by the same black and white haired fairy.

"Haru-chan, this is Lulu-chan, Lulu-chan this is Haru-chan." Juniper said as she waved her hands in their direction.

"Hello Lulu, It's a pleasure to meet you." Haruhi said with a curtsy. The fairy giggled and curtsied back at her. "Same to you, Miss Haruhi." Lulu said with a smile as she sat on Juniper's shoulder. As they walked home the girls were chattering about the pixie hollow fair that was happening next week and what they would wear to it.

Suddenly they were attacked by an unknown pack of wolves, that weren't from this forest.

One of them lunged at Juniper, throwing her off balance while the rest circled them. Haruhi was quick enough to put up a magic boundary line so they could not get to the girls. The wolves soon went away, but not without trying to get to the girl.

One wolf tried to leap the boundary line and was thrown back by a vine that had shot up from the line.

As soon as the wolves were gone, Haruhi went and tended to her sister's scratches from her fall.

She had nasty scratches across her knees, and a deep gash on her stomach from where the wolf had scratched her, and she wasn't healing as fast as she normally would with scratches.

So Haruhi decided it was time to go home and clean up her wounds, and hopefully get her into the shower. Lulu went home with them, Haruhi didn't mind if anything Lulu might help her.

When they arrived at the house her father was there waiting for them, He ran out and hugged Haruhi who had Juniper on her back.

Juniper by this time was lulled to sleep by the swaying motion as Haruhi walked, and the sounds of the leaves rustling with the night's winds.

As they entered the house her father checked Haruhi for any scratches finding she had one on her shoulder from a wolf that had lunged at her as well.

That is when he noticed Lulu who was trying to help wrap Juniper's knees, all you could see is a little ball of light carrying a bandage and circling around her knee.

"Hello there." He said as she was done wrapping Juni's wounds.

"Hello sir." She said in a tiny voice, she then changed her form into a fairy that was about the size of index finger.

"My name is Ryouji, my coworkers call me Ranka." He said politely and smiled as the fairy sat on Juniper's shoulder as she slept soundly.

"My name is Lulu, I'm a Spirit Guide." She said and she gave a bow from her sitting position.

"Really I've never met a Spirit Guide, Do you have a master?" He said as Haruhi tended to the wounds on Juni's stomach.

"Well right now my master is Juniper." She said as she watched Haruhi carefully.

"That sounds wonderful, but I don't think it would be a good idea for you to shown as a fairy, you should probably take form of something she can carry around easier." He said as he remembered that Spirit Guides can't be separated from their masters for long, or they will feel lonely and so will the master.

He looked back to the fairy that was now a black and white zombiefied teddy bear. He smiled knowing that Juniper would carry Lulu everywhere she goes.

Juniper proved him right the following morning trip to the super market…
