Teddy's Bear

[At Teddy's house…]

"Goodnight, teddy," said Teddy. Tomorrow's another day. [The next day…] Where'd my teddy bear go? *he searches all over his room* I know I had it last night because I slept with it but somehow it's not here. I'll have to ask Sweetheart to help. *he races off and finds her*

"So you really truly lost your ted…," started Sweetheart as Teddy covers her mouth.

"Shh, not so loud," whispered Teddy. You remember the last time they found out, right? They never let me forget it so we'll have to keep it to ourselves, okay?

"Sure, Teddy," said Sweetheart. Where do you remember truly leaving it last?

"It was still at my house," said Teddy. I slept with it last night.

"Do you think it's truly still there?" asked Sweetheart.

"I looked all over and didn't find it anywhere," said Teddy.

"Hmm, do you think maybe someone took it?" asked Sweetheart.

"Maybe, but who would want my teddy bear anyway?" asked Teddy.

"Well there was that one baby pony that wanted it back at that fair," said Sweetheart.

"Yeah but I traded her something else to get it back," said Teddy.

"We should truly look back at your house," said Sweetheart. It must still be there somewhere. [At Teddy's house…] *Both she and Teddy begin searching* [A few hours later…]

"See it yet?" asked Teddy.

"No, not really yet," said Sweetheart.

"We have to keep looking," said Teddy.

"We'll need to truly look all over the house," said Sweetheart. If you say your Teddy is still here, then it must be. *the two of them get up and look around* [Meanwhile…]

"Ugh, this thing is so old, I can't imagine him still wanting it," said Teddy's mother. *she throws it in the washing machine* [Back at the search…]

"Sorry, Teddy, no sign of it anywhere," said Sweetheart. I can come back tomorrow and help you look more but the rest of tonight I have babysitting.

"Okay," sighed Teddy. See you tomorrow.

"I'm truly sorry we couldn't find it," said Sweetheart. *She walks out the door and back home*

"Now what am I going to do?" asked Teddy to himself.

"Teddy, it's getting late, dear," said his mother.

"Okay," sighed Teddy again. *he gets into bed and sleeps uncomfortably* [The next morning…]

"I'm back, Teddy," said Sweetheart entering Teddy's room.

"Great," said Teddy. Where should we look next?

"We've looked through and awful lot of places yesterday and haven't found a thing," pondered Sweetheart. Wait a minute, we haven't looked downstairs yet.

"Let's go," said Teddy. *He and Sweetheart walk downstairs and begin searching*

"I can't find it anywhere," said Sweetheart.

"Me neither," said Teddy. Who could've taken my teddy bear?

"Maybe your mom has truly seen it," said Sweetheart.

"Seen what?" asked his mother. This? *she holds up his bear*

"My teddy bear!" said Teddy. Why'd you take it?

"I felt it could use a wash," said his mother. At first I thought you wouldn't want it anymore but then I figured that maybe you would so I threw it in the washing machine and now it's as good as new.

"Well uh thanks, I guess," said Teddy puzzled.

"Well I'm glad that's truly over," said Sweetheart.

"So am I," said Teddy. Now I can sleep normally again. I've also kept my secret safe once again, at least safe from being found out again.

"I'm truly tired," said Sweetheart. That was quite the search we had to do over the weekend.

"You said it," said Teddy.

"See you at school tomorrow, Teddy," said Sweetheart. *she leaves*

"See ya, Sweetheart," said Teddy. I'm glad to have you back again, Teddy.

"Time for bed, Teddy," said her mother.

"Okay, mom," said Teddy. *he gets into bed* Now another night with my teddy once again, thanks to Sweetheart. *he sleeps*
