Chapter 7
Teddy bear Rey stood outside the bedroom.
"Little brat! Little brat! Open the door" softly said Rey knocking on the door. There was no response.
The toy-bear form had made him too short to touch the door's knob. He tried to push the door like potty room's door but it wouldn't budge.
"Scrawny little brat, wake up!! Wake up! Dumbass brat! Wake up It's not your time to be asleep" shouted toy-bear at the top of his toyish voice banging furiously at the door.
"Don't expect me to be gentle when I come in, little brat. You'll get your beatings for refusing my call. Stinking brat! If you don't want to be punished! Open up the door!" roared teddy bear in his pouting cute voice
He said it, but he didn't see a way of entering the room. He searched for appliances on which he could climb on. He had to drag a chair from the hallways.
The teddy bear slowly dragged the chair towards the room. After wiping the fake sweat off his head, he climbed up the chair using his belly to climb on top of it, but still couldn't reach the door knob with his small round petite hands. He was frustrated, thus the toy-bear left and brought a cushion. After a lot of struggles, he managed to reach the doorknob of the door. The toy-bear unlocked the door, but was carried along with the door with his hands still on the door's knob. He fell off the door hurting his butt.
"It's all your fault, stupid brat. Wake up!" shouted teddy bear massaging his butt in his cute angry voice of a petite bear. He climbed on top off the bed to see a young beautiful girl in her early teens with bright yellow locks lying on her back. Rey would consider her to be flawless if she wasn't drooling in her sleep.
"Oii! Wake up" called Rey tapping his small round hands on her delicate face. Rey started getting impatient when she wouldn't get up from her sleep.
"Drooling brat! Snot-nosed brat! Get up now" furiously patted Rey to make her wake up. He went near her eyes opening her eye-lids, "Don't sleep like a log. Get up! Don't waste my time! brat" shouted Rey
"Bucchie, heheeh. I found you" said Rily and caught Rey and slept sideways trying to bring him close to his face.
"No! No! Nooooo! Get away from me! Don't move me towards your drool. No! Stop it! Leave me alone! Don't drag me towards you" shouted Rey as she moved towards her drool. A contact was made between Rey's fuzzy toy fur and Rily's drool.
"Ahh Noooooooooooooooo!" shouted Rey at the top of his toyish voice.

Finally, Rily was awake with a bump on her head.
"Why did you hit me?" asked Rily with a tear-jerk
"Of course I would hit you, little brat. You spilled your drool on my fur" scolded Rey in his toyish voice holding a paper fold.
"Bucchi talks! I must be dreaming! Let me go back to sleep!" said Rily
"Of course I can talk. Don't go back to your sleep. Lastly I'm not Bucchi" said Rey hitting Rily's head with the paper roll.
"Do you have to hit me for that?" asked Rily
"Silence!" shouted Rey and Lily closed her eyes. "You need discipline. You were sleeping like a log the whole time when your sister was suffering" said Rey
"Now bring your blanket and pillow to Reena" ordered Rey
"What happened to sister? Why should I bring my blanket and my pillow?" said Rily
Rey was clueless about how to answer. He didn't want to tell Rily that he ruined Reena's pillow and blanket when he was running wild.
"Your sister has a fever. There's no time to explain the second question. Let's go, Reena is lying cold on the ground" ordered Rey
Although she was reluctant, she obeyed his order anyways.
When they returned to Reena's room, Reena was still cold on the ground and her temperature had spiked up.
"Sis, are you alright? You're not hurt, right? What should I do? Should I call an ambulance" asked Rily placing her hands on her forehead
"Stupid brat! She's unconscious. Why would I talk or ask for your help if she was conscious" shouted teddy bear Rey.
Rily could feel the tremors in Reena's hand.
"Brat! Stop dilly-dallying and help her put some clothes" ordered toy bear. Rey and Rily put clothes on Reena and put her on the bed. Rily pulled the pillow from under the bed.
"Bucchi, Sister's pillow has been torn. It came out as I tried to pull from under the bed" said Rily
"How… How unreliable are you? You can't even do a single thing properly" stuttered Rey sweating profusely
"Put your pillow and blanket instead of your sister's," said Rey as they laid Reena comfortably on the bed.
"Brat! Where do you store tablets and medicine? And bring towel soaked in cold water" said Rey
Rey went towards a table to pick up a water bottle from the table while Rily fetched the medicine box and wet towel. Rey slowly put a paracetamol tablet and made her gulp it while Rily placed cold-towel on Reena's fore-head.
Rey had to agree with Rily's demeanor. She was really calm and collected the whole time which made him realize that the girl was not simple as she seemed to be.
Reena suddenly woke up looking at Rily. "Sister are you ok?" asked Rily
Rey reverted to a toy without making a single movement which surprised Rily.
"I'm sorry, Rily. I caused you trouble. I'm ok now" said Reena
"No, you are not alright at all! I'll make your porridge. Get some rest!" said Rily and covered the blanket. Later she took Rey and walked out of the room.
. As they moved a certain distance away from the room, Rey jumped out of Rily's hand
"Don't touch me with your unwashed dirty hands. Why did you drag me out to disturb my peace" said Rey. Rey saw a determined, mature look on Rily's face which made him realize that she had realized something. He wasn't sure but he had an ominous feeling in his gut.
"Bucchi, do you know how to make porridge?" asked Rily
Rey was dumbstruck. "Why did you say you would make porridge if you don't know how to do it" said Rey angrily in his toyish tone.
"Don't get angry at me. I just wanted to make her feel better" said Rily
Rey sighed deeply and told her that he would teach her how to do it. With lots of scolding and disciplining he taught her how to make porridge but not a usual porridge since even he didn't know to cook.
"Bucchi, you were the one who tore the pillow and blanket right?" asked Rily
Rey was rendered speechless. After briefly sweating, he told her not to turn the blame onto others making false accusations.
"That's wrong, isn't it? You told me to bring my pillow and blanket. Doesn't that mean sister's pillow and the blankets were already torn at that moment. The room was also in a terrible mess when I entered" said Rily calmly looking at Rey.
