"Oopsy, open this door!" William demanded, knocking at the door long enough to make his knuckled turn tomato red. "I know you're in there!"
"I'll come out in a minute." Oopsy grudgingly said from inside the house.
"We've been out here for five minutes! Open this door!" William continued to demand, pounding even harder now. Suddenly, the door creaked a little, then started to slowly open. A light green Care Bear was at the door, Kailey quickly noticed he didn t have a Tummy Symbol. He was different... he was unique.
"Oh, hello William." The Bear said happily as if he wasn't trying to ignore William a few minutes ago although he was. William slowly blinked, clearly unamused.
"You need to come back to Care-a-lot." William said, getting to the point. Oopsy looked like that wasn't the first time William had gotten to the point like that.
"Why? Give me a good reason why!" Oopsy demanded. William shoved Kailey closer to Oopsy and he saw her for the first time. His face grew pale as he looked at her and was instantly reminded of a certain face
"Hello." Kailey greeted, oblivious to his expression. "My name's Kailey Richardson."
Slowly, Oopsy's eyes slid out of focus and he fell backward. He had fainted in shock. Kailey looked at Ollie, and made the teddy bear do the same.
"What did you do?" she asked it like he was to blame.
After William put Oopsy down on his bed and splashed some water on his face, Kailey asked,
"How come he doesn't have a Tummy Symbol?" she asked.
"Belly Badge." William corrected.
"Is there a difference?" Kailey simply put. William stared at her for a few minutes as Oopsy came to. Oopsy felt his head then looked at Kailey. He jumped a good foot in the air in surprise.
"What's she doing here?" he exclaimed.
"To show you that you need to get a grip and come back to Care-a-lot." William told him. Oopsy wasn't listening, his attention was on Kailey. It was rather bittersweet to see the child of Clairinda Bennett. It reminded him of the first time he saw Claire and he had to let her go. She was a human after all.
"If you go back to Care-a-lot," William was saying to Oopsy, "You can spend all your time with Kailey. Claire had made all the Care Bears Kailey's godparents. My mom did the same thing. They both knew all of you would care for her. All of the Care Bears, including you."
Oopsy looked at William uncertain.
"Claire didn't forget you." William assured. "She didn't forget the Care Bears at all. She wanted all of you to help raise her child like their own. She wanted YOU to help raise her child."
William knew he had struck a chord with the magic words Oopsy needed to hear. Oopsy looked back at Kailey, closed his eyes, and sighed.
"I'll go back to Care-a-lot." He said grudgingly.
William grinned ear to ear.
