4th Floor Common Room, Afternoon

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco had woken up in the morning and was even shorter than usual. He wasted no time eating large quantities of sugary cereal - most of which ended up on the floor rather than the bowl. Now, he was a wee tiny polar bear, lounging around the ground.

The television was on, there was cereal all over the place, and there was a polar bear chilling on the floor.

Harper wandered down the hallway into the common room. She'd managed to pin one of her bed sheets (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=118477) to her top and was dragging it behind her like a train.

She took one look at Marco and squealed, "Teddy bear!"

< Am not! > Marco said through thought speak and scrambled up on all fours.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

That didn't make a different to Harper. "Teddy bears are for hugging!" she said, holding her arms out.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

< Am not a teddy bear. > Marco complained, but he did ramble over for a hug.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Awww! Harper liked this teddy bear, even if he said he wasn't one. She had a big grin on her face as she hugged him.

"Wanna play dress up, Mr. Teddy Bear?" she asked?

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

< Nooooo! > Marco said and scampered backwards.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Just as quickly, Harper's grin turned to a frown. "Well, what do you want to play?" she asked.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

< Tumbling! > Marco said cheerfully and nosed Harper in the arm.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper giggled. "That tickles!" she said. "And I didn't know teddy bears could tumble."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

< I'ma polar bear! > Marco informed her and tumbled to the ground.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper clapped for Marco. "Do it again!" she requested.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco did another flop on the ground. < You too! >

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Okay!" said Harper, grinning. She took a couple of steps back, leaving herself plenty of room, and tried to do a somersault.

Except she'd forgotten about that pesky sheet serving as a train for her outfit, and Harper managed to get herself all tangled up in it.

< Bounce! > Marco said cheerful and tried to bounce around a little.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper flailed, the sheet wrapped around her. "I don't think I bounce too well," she said.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco nosed at her leg. < You can try bouncing on the couch! >

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Ohh, that has to be nice and bouncy," said Harper, perking up. She flailed a bit more before getting back to her feet and then climbed up on top of the couch. "It is bouncy!" she said as she jumped up and down.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco scrabbled up on to the couch to join her bouncing. < See? Now we're both bouncing! >

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"This is almost as fun as playing dress-up!" said Harper.

Because really, there was nothing more exciting than dress-up time.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

< Everything is more fun than dress-up. > Marco informed her, bouncing a bit more.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Nuh uh! Dress-up is the bestest game in the whole world!" said Harper, though she didn't stop bouncing.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

< Nu uh! Dress-up is boooooring! > Marco said, also still bouncing.

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper pouted, though she didn't stop bouncing, either.

"Dress-up is fun! I bet you would look cute in teddy bear clothes," she insisted.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

< I'M NOT A TEDDY BEAR. > Marco thought-shouted. < I'M A POLAR BEAR! >

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Pfft, teddy bear, polar bear. Same difference," said Harper, rolling her eyes.

Jack was running up the stairs and down the stairs and up the stairs. It was a fun game! But now he was hungry and tired and...there was a polar bear. A real live polar bear!

Jack wasn't going to chase a polar bear. At least not today.
