Okay get ready for the CUTEST thing I might ever write! I love this idea a lot, originally it was supposed to be a part of theme 48 but I thought it could be its own story ^_^ it's going to be short but super cute.

Theme 36: Precious Treasure

James was walking into his room, running his comb through his hair, and humming "Any Kind of Guy" under his breath. He was in his own little world until he tripped on something and let out a very loud shriek. James had landed face flat on the floor. He moaned and sat up and saw that he tripped on a stuffed monkey.

"CARLOS!" James shouted. Carlos came into the door way in seconds.

"What?" he asked clueless.

"I just tripped over one of your stuffed monkeys. I told you to keep then off the floor." James said.

"Sorry." Carlos said and went to pick it up "Bananas probably fell out of bed." He put the monkey back his bed.

James got up to his feet and walked to Carlos. "Dude isn't it about time you got rid of all of your stuffed animals?" he asked him.

"No." Carlos said.

"Dude you're 16 and a dude. You're way too old for all these. Normally you only see this many stuffed animals in a girl's room."

"I don't have that many." Carlos said sheepishly.

"Oh?" James questioned and walked to a toy trunk at the end of Carlos's bed "You have a whole trunk of them." He shut the toy trunk and pointed to Carlos's dresser you have four up there sitting with your helmet, and two more sitting on the windowsill. Why do you keep all of these? Most of them a pretty babyish."

"Sentimental reasons." Carlos said.

"Like what?" James asked in disbelief.

Carlos walked to his dresser and pointed to the yellow and baby blue hippo and a brown ragged dog "These are from when I was born." He said then pointed to the pale yellow duck and an elephant "and those are from my first birthday."

"Okay… it's just odd seeing baby toys in a teenagers' bedroom. I mean what if I want to bring a girl in here?" James asked. Carlos just shrugged and walked to the windowsill.

He picked up a rubber duck and squeezed it. It squeaked and he laughed "this was Sparky's before we had to put him down." James had forgotten how attached Carlos was to Sparky, it had already been almost five years since he was put to sleep "I used to throw it to him in the backyard and I taught him how to play fetch with it." Carlos said then put down the rubber duck and picked up a small stuffed tan bear with his right ear partly chewed off, half a nose, and his leg was sewed up. "And my God Parents gave me this."

James nodded then pointed to the toy chest "What about all those in there?" he asked.

Carlos opened the trunk and looked at all the stuffed toy. "Well, most of these are from birthdays." He said then dug around a little. James knelt down by Carlos and waited for him to pull out some stuffed animal.

"What about this one?" James asked picking up a white rabbit.

"Oh Pepe?" Carlos asked grabbing the bunny "Mamá gave it to me, you know before she got crazy and went to prison." He said sadly.

"Oh." James said. He could've sworn he heard both their hearts break when Carlos brought up his mom. He was starting to feel guilty about asking him to dump his toys, he wouldn't have said anything and not minded falling on his face if he'd known they all had special meanings.

"So are the rest of those just from birthdays?" James asked then spotted a little yellow lion in the corner "Hey I remember this." He said and picked it up "I gave you this for I think your sixth birthday party."

"It was my fifth." Carlos said.

"Right." James said and kept eyeing the lion. "You know I don't remember it fitting in the palm of my hand so easily."

Carlos shrugged and grabbed it "I guess we grew up." He said and put it back. "I guess I could pack them up and keep them in the closet." He said.

"Actually, you can keep them around. I didn't know they meant so much." James said.

Carlos smiled and hugged James "Thanks James." He said.

A/N: I know that was short but wasn't that sooooo cute! Dude I totally got that idea sorta from that 70's show. Like it was the episode when Nina broke up with Fez and Fez stayed in bed and his room was full of colors, toys, stuffed animals and a race car bed. Haha Kelso broke the bed at the end and I laughed so hard ^_^
