Teddy Bear

 Teddy Bear

This story all started with a boy named Dan. He doesn’t come into the story much, but anyway, this little boy wanted a teddy bear for Christmas. And that’s when Teddy came to be.

At Santa’s workshop elves were busy making toys for Christmas. There was a whole line of elves sewing teddy bears so you might not think that one of them was very special. But one of the stuffed bears named Teddy was very special. The elf that was making Teddy was sitting right by a shelf. On that shelf there was a small cup of magic that made things come alive. The elf accidentally bumped the shelf. The cup of magic fell off. The elf quickly put it back on the shelf. But not before a couple specks of magic got inside Teddy. When the elf finished sewing Teddy up the magic was trapped inside Teddy’s fluff filled inside and couldn’t get out. Because, ( as you know ) it was the magic made things come alive Teddy was officially a alive. Since the specks of magic were flying and bumping around while trying to get out they gave Teddy a heart so he could have the ability to love. They also gave him lungs so he could have the ability to breath.That is why Teddy was different. But it’s not until later until the story really starts.

It took a couple of hours for the magic to actually start working. So Teddy couldn’t feel the pain of getting sewn up. By the time the magic started working Teddy was inside of Santa’s bag. It was still a few days until the Santa would take the toys to be put under Christmas trees or stuffed inside stockings. Teddy was in a rather beautiful box ( For Dan had been extra good this year ) the box had golden wrapping on and a red ribbon tied in a tight bow. Teddy  mostly just sat there inside his box because he did not yet know very well what life was.

A few days later it was The night of Christmas Eve, Teddy felt a big jolt. That was the sled going up in the air. Teddy pushed up hard against the top of the box. The wrapping paper ripped and the bow came undone. The lid of the box came off. Teddy stretched his legs. “I can move!” He exclaimed. Then he sang a little poem off the top of his head.

I can move! I’m alive!

And I can move my joints like this!

I’m officially a creature!

 Now my life is such a bliss!

In his excitement he managed to shuffle through the other packages to the top of the sack. He opened up the sack and popped his head out. Teddy was in awe. It was so beautiful up in the sky. Teddy turned the other way. He saw a fat man in a red suit with a red hat and a white ball on top. He was the kind of man with bright pink cheeks and big eyes. The red suited man was every once and a while stopping on the roof of someones house sliding down the chimney taking one or two presents with him and then coming back up with no presents in his hands. Teddy thought it might be fun to be like that red suited man so when the man in the red suit was in the house he pulled himself up out of the opened sack and hobbled on his chubby little fluff filled legs to the drivers seat of the sleigh. Then Teddy jumped down into the chimney.

Right when Teddy reached the bottom of the chimney and had just climbed out of the fireplace the red suited man walked over to the fireplace and climbed up the chimney. “Wait! Wait for me!” Shouted Teddy but the red suited man had already gone up the chimney. Now Teddy was alone.

Teddy had very many times attempted to climb up the chimney but his fluff filled body did not have the skill. But now the sun was coming up. Two children came down the stairs. Teddy knew this was not meant to be. He jumped up to the middle of the chimney just in time before the children saw him. Teddy climbed the rest of the way. Now he was on the roof he rolled over closing his eyes and planning to rest. But just when he was going to do just that smoke started coming up from the chimney. Teddy didn’t know what it was but it didn’t smell good and it made his eyes water. So he guessed he should probably get out of there “But how?” Teddy said to himself. Teddy knew he would have to take a risk. He took a deep breath and dove off the roof of the house. All Teddy saw was a white blur and then he lay unconscious. 

When Teddy woke up from his little daze he sat up, stretched, and then stood. There was snow on the ground that was about knee deep for Teddy. He climbed out of the little dent he had made in the snow Then started walking. Teddy had walked all around the house twice before he noticed that The fat red suited man’s sleigh was not there anymore. Teddy sat down. Then he just realized something. “I need to find Dan!” Teddy said. Toys ( even the ones that aren’t alive ) all know who they are supposed to be with. Teddy knew that he needed to be with Dan.

While Teddy was sitting he felt a buzzing beneath him.“What is that?” Teddy said to himself. He stood up it was a little spark of magic from the reindeer that made them fly. Teddy grabbed onto it before it buzzed away. The magic flew high up into the air with Teddy hanging onto it.

Teddy flew on for a good thirty minutes but then he saw something familiar. It was Dan’s house!

Teddy closed his eyes and let go of the flying speck of magic. He fell right into Dan’s chimney.

Luckily, Dan hadn’t woken up. Teddy softly climbed up into Dan’s stocking. When Dan came and found Teddy in his stocking he cuddled with him softly. From then on Teddy was his favorite toy. And Teddy never acted real again. Except for that one day of the year on Christmas when he says hello to Santa. The one who helped Teddy get were he was.

The End
