Figment swaddled baby Spark in a royal purple blanket, smiling down at her. "My little Spark … … my precious daughter .. …. ..." He smiled even wider. "I can't wait to teach you aaaaaaaaallll about imagination!"

Spark babbled as she pawed the air.

Figment set her down and flew in the air in excitement. "Oooooh! I can't wait! I'm gonna start right now!" Then he landed next to her, laughing. He sat down and took out his tablet. "Remember this? From when you were an egg? It's my magic imagination tablet!"

He handed it to her. "Why don't ya give it a spin Spark?"

Spark blinked as she looked at all the creative ideas flowing in on the screen. Then she stuck the top of the tablet in her mouth.

Figment gasped. "Spark no!" He pulled it out of her mouth, and put his hand onto his shoulder. "Spark, sweetie, this isn't food. You can't eat it."

Spark pawed at the screen again, giggling. Figment smiled warmly as he pulled her into a hug. "Awww, come here you!"

Figment rolled onto his back, holding his giggling daughter in the air above him. "Who's daddy's little girl? You are! You are!" He sat up and hugged her as close as he could. "You ready for your play date sweetie?"

Spark drooled in reply.

Figment chuckled as he put on his baby holder and placed her inside. "Come on sweetie, lets go!"

Max chewed on his toy block before slamming it against another one. Goofy smiled as he leaned up against the trunk of a tree.

"Hi guys!" Figment greeted as he landed.

"Gawrsh, hiya Figment!" Goofy greeted.

Max made small baby sounds and waved.

"Hiya pal!" Mickey said.

"Oh, hello!" Minnie giggled.

"Hello Figment! Hello Spark!" Daisy greeted.

Pluto and Fifi barked excitedly, while Figaro and Fluffy let out small meows.

Donald and Cuckoo Loca looked at each other, making a silent agreement to be on the defense.

"We're here for our playdate!" Figment said as he let Spark out of the baby carrier, and placed her beside Max.

Max giggled as he reached out his hand towards her. Cuckoo Loca panicked and flew between them, landing on one of the blocks. "Uh … .. can I play too?"

Max laughed and clapped in reply. Spark smiled widely and flapped her wings.

Cuckoo Loca forced a smile as she plopped down next to Max on the grass. While he continued his block tower, Spark scanned the small meadow until her eyes landed on a small patch of flowers. She laid on her side and rolled over to them.

She sniffed them and sneezed a small flame. Spark sniffled before gripping the flowers in her mouth and bringing them back over to Max. Then she spat them out and started weaving the stems together.

Cuckoo Loca eyed her curiously.

When she was finished she held a flower crown in her hands and put it on Max's head. He giggled as he grabbed it and chewed on the petals.

Spark giggled as she clapped. Cuckoo Loca examined the flower crown and once she decided it was harmless let it slide.

Figment flapped his wings excitedly. "Ooooh! She's already learning about imagination and creativity!" He sniffled as he wiped a tear from his eye. "I'm so proud of her!"

"She looks like she's doing great so far." Mickey said, smiling a bit. "How's she been alone with you?"

"Oh, she's been great!" Figment said. "She's my pride and joy! My little apple dumpling gang! I love her thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much!" Figment stretched his arms out super wide.

Spark giggled as she looked at her dad and babbled. Figment smiled and pulled her into a hug. "My little princess!"

Cuckoo Loca frowned as she went back to perch on Donald's hat. "Can you believe this? They're all going goo goo eyed over this … … this … … this monster baby!"

"I know!" Donald said. "I don't trust her … … ..."

Spark let out a big yawn as she sleepily rested her head on Figment's shoulder. "I think it's time for someone's nappy time!" He turned to everyone and waved as he put Spark in the baby carrier. He fastened her in and flew away.

Cuckoo Loca huffed as she watched them fly away. Have nice nap, you little monster …. ….. ..
