"You were very sweet in giving the bear to the girl." Kensi was smiling from ear to ear and her heart was filled with pride and happiness for left been enchanted by a man so generous and thoughtful.

"She needs it more than the two of us, after all we are adults." - said Deeks watching the girl's contagious happiness after receiving the bear.
Deeks hadn't the perfect childhood, which forced him to grow up faster. But if there was one thing that puzzled him was the happiness of the children with a simple toy. A toy with eyes, mouth and ears like us, but it doesn't see, it doesn't speak or hear. Or will it? He let his thoughts wander in even for a few seconds. Does that toy can do more than we think? Well, the truth is it can. It can take the kids, and adults too, to let themselves be carried away by imagination, difficult thing in the world we live in because we tend to think that there is nothing beyond what already exists. But there is. There has to be! Otherwise, would come the time when all we do would be remotely operated, mechanical and our heads wouldn't be needed. We would be simple machines.

Good thing we aren't, otherwise how could we invent a world full of princesses and happy endings when all we see is sadness and war? This is one of the positive aspects of the human being. We managed to get over the difficulties, go over that dark cloud that prevents us from seeing the blue sky, fighting a war...at least between our heart and are able to imagine and express what we feel, knowing perfectly well that we have to be rational.
Returning to the bear...doesn't speak, it's a fact, but tells stories of warriors and princesses, of conquerors and conquered. Or at least, that's what our imagination wants that happen.
Doesn't speak, but we're only able to hear them if we pay attention. Attention that requires concentration and of course the most precious ingredient of all...imagination. Just so our heart can feel their words and our head is capable to process them, building a story that makes us dream awake. They are just toys, but as the animals, for example, you can also create ties with an inanimate object. Inanimate not for us, maybe for the world. We have feelings, teddy bears don't, but we are kids are these simple toys invented by the man that teaches having feelings. A beautiful word - feeling - but we are not always able to understand or explain. Teddy bears help us realizing this, because if we are happy we smile like the bear but if we're sad, it seems that also the bear changes, is not the same at that time, and when we grow, we can't get rid of it because it is difficult, we create ties.

*So is because of that that all bears are made with a smile?* Yes Deeks, they are. It was a way that man has invented in order to spread happiness and demonstrate that even and demonstrate that even the simplest things and also the less obvious are those that fill our hearts with joy.

"Deeks. Deeks!"

"Sorry, i was thinking."

"So that's why now smells like burnt." Kensi couldn't resist and had to say that.

"That was a hint? Because it was...ouch! Think you hit on the wound and my heart is broken."

"Don't complain and let's buy some candies to take." - said Kensi

"Na, na. First we go to another bank. I still want to give you a bear, though." Deeks smiled

"Aww so sweet!" Kensi pulled him into a kiss and Deeks raised it in the air. Again, just the two of them mattered.
At that moment Kensi felt like a ballerina when 'conquer' the air like a simple feather left to the will of the wind. Wind that looked at her eyes and gestured with his lips the most three beautiful words in the world: I love you!

...

"I adore you, Nell."

"I adore you too." They were about to share a kiss when Callen, once again, threw her flour to the face and started running around the kitchen counter. They looked like two children trying to catch each other until Callen slipped into flour that was scattered on the floor.

"Ow!" - moaned Callen

"Are you okay?" - asked worriedly Nell but het concern was to reward...flour. Callen laughed more than he ever had laughed.

"Silly! I worried about you and you pretended." - Nell said between the laugh because she couldn't be indifferent to the contagious joy of his laugh.

"Oh my God! Ah ah ah ah! I hurted my elbow, but it was not enough to stop playing."

"Well, only for our survival is better stop or even one of us will get hurt seriously." - warned Nell

"You're right. Let's fix this mess or when they come, they still think that a hurricane passed through the kitchen." Callen laughed again and Nell couldn't hide her laugh.

Deeks had already achieved a teddy bear for Kensi. It was not as big as the previous one, but the intention is what counts.

"Now let's buy the candy so we can go home."

"I just hope that when we arrived, the house is not turned inside out." - Deeks joked

"You're so mischievous."

"Thank you." They both smiled

"Good afternoon. I want american candies."

"7 dollars, please." - Said the trader. Kensi nudged Deeks.

"Woe is for paying?" Deeks teased but Kensi just rolled her eyes. "How much?"

"Here it is and keep up the good business!" - wished Deeks

"The cake is in the oven and I think we'd better go take a shower before they see us like a snowmen." Nell said in a louder tone, as Callen started driving into the living room as she removed her apron.

"We have been too late." Kensi and Deeks entered the house and were amazed to look at them both.

"What happened to you?" - Kensi asked in surprise when he saw them in that state.

"It seems that you went through the typhoon 'flour'." - Deeks said while landing bags.

"You got it! We were making a cake and it ended on this." replied Callen always remembering the joke and trying not to laugh.

"We'll take a shower. Kensi do me a favor when the cake is ready take it from the oven." - asked Nell

"Okay, don't worry. Go."

While Callen and Nell were taking a shower, Kensi was preparing a snack along with Deeks. There was cake, biscuits, (...)

"I say well, I could get used to this." Callen saw what was put on the table in the garden and immediately started snacking , and Kensi watched him and hited him in the hand.

"We're not sitting." Kensi tried to look serious but it was impossible and started laughing. Callen jokingly raised his arms.

It was an afternoon well spent. Nobody wanted to leave that room to go make dinner so they ordered Italian food. It is to imagine that a dinner with these four was not dinner without having fun. Everyone started telling jokes and Deeks didn't fail to notice the smile of his 'lady'.
It was the most beautiful smile he had ever had the opportunity to see and envision. He was a sincere and sometimes roguish smile, but it was not the case.

The sparkle in her eyes as she smiled Kensi resembled the moon shine at night, able to illuminate all around her. In the case of the moon is impossible to see it's 'hidden face', but with Kensi, Deeks could perfectly realize that behind that smile was a suffering woman, but with guts enough to overcome all the problems and therefore is currently smiling.

Deeks believes that every time she smiles, a new star is born in heaven.

"Someone is out to take a walk? Dancing a little?" - asked Callen

"Will you excuse us, Callen, but today we will stay at home because I'm dead after the amusement park." - apologized Kensi with a tired look

"It's okay, I understand. And you Nell, are you coming?"

"Won't you be upset with me, will you?" - Nell asked waiting for Callen's answer

"Of course not, for God's sake. You don't feel like it, okay. So I'll wear m to go get a drink." Nell went with Callen

"Sorry for not going with you but i don't feel like it."

"Never mind, Nell. It's okay. I'll just have a drink and come back. I won't be long." Callen gave her a kiss

"Ok Go on then." - Nell said giving him a kiss right away

"Goodbye, everybody!"

"Bye!" They all sounded like a chorus

"Well, guys I go to sleep. Goodnight!"

"Good night, Nell." - Kensi said

...

"Good evening. I want a whiskey." - asked Callen

"Here it is."

"Thank you." Callen moved to the sofa and sat down. As he was alone, it wasn't long until someone has their attention on it. The woman approached.

"May I?"

"Of course, it's free." Callen continued to sip his drink.

"Are you alone?" - asked the woman. She had brown hair and was tall like Kensi, but not reached to her heels.

"I am. At least here." - fired Callen

"Girlfriend."

"Yes."

"I should have known that such a good looking man, already had a girlfriend. Sorry, i didn't introduce myself. My name is Katherine."

"And my name's Gregore. Nice to meet you, Katherine."

A romantic song sounded at the bar.

"I know we barely know each other, but both are alone and I think there is no harm if we dance."

"I think there won't be any problem. At least I don't have ulterior motives." Callen smiled and went to the dance floor along with Katherine. It was normal for a more romantic dance, the pair were closer and Callen, being the gentleman he is, rested his hands on Katherine's waist. He might be aware that that dance was a casual dance, but she wasn't so. Katherine was watching Callen since he had entered the bar. She wasn't the only for sure, because when such a good looking man enters a bar always has the attention of some women. Perhaps those who are already compromised. Although compromised, no woman could fail to appreciate such perfection. Blue eyes capture everyone's attention because they look beyond two oceans, shine brighter than the biggest and hottest star in the universe and radiate passion for wherever they appear. Not to mention the way he walk. Callen, or rather G. "The Greek God" Callen, for Katherine was the most attractive man of the night. The touch of his hands on her waist, made her heart race. She knew he was compromised, but we can always dream.

...

Nell was asleep for a while and at first she swore she was having a dream about her prince of persia, but appeared through an unknown face who was dancing with Callen. The dream reflected on what was happening at the bar. Nell didn't care but the mysterious face started looking at him in a way that showed to have something more in mind than just dancing. Katherine approached further Callen, put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

He seemed not to care and that was what was making Nell furious.

The scent of Callen was leaving Katherine beside herself, but she did nothing. Not that she didn't want. Moreover, because a provocative man as him only deserved that she grabbed him and not let him go.

Nell wanted to do something, but the dream, or rather, the nightmare was one in which we get to see what happens, but when we act, it seems that something stops us. Callen was dancing with Katherine, but his thoughts were centered on the woman who stole his heart. He wondered if she was already sleeping and if so, whether she was thinking of him as he thought of her.

It didn't happen in reality, but in Nell's nightmare, the man she love was kissing another woman. Nell woke with a start and saw that Callen hadn't come home yet. The bed was cold because he was not there to warm it up with the fire of his body or to hold her at that time. Had spent little time since he left, but she missed having his strong arms around her and she wore one of his shirts. It was good to smell his scent.

Callen came home and went to the room where he faced the most beautiful woman in the world sleeping in one of his shirts.

"Good night, beautiful." Callen received no response because Nell was even asleep. He lay down and waited until she snuggles into him, but she didn't. He was surprised but let her be sleeping.

...

"Good morning, sleepyhead." Callen whispered in Nell's ear that was still waking up.

"Good morning." He came over to give her a kiss but she pulled him away.

"Nell, is everything okay?" Callen was worried because he didn't know what he had done for Nell pulling him away as well. He has no intentions of hurting her and would never do anything to see her sad.
