Max's POV
Waking up to find that you were laying on a harder surface then you went to bed on was confusing, at least at first. I tried to roll over to see what was going on. But then something held me where I was. I looked up to see Mandy was the one holding me still. Still not fully awake and not able to talk right when I first wake up I tried to say her name. But unfortunately what actually came out of my mouth was "Mamy?" What I didn't expect was her response.She smiled at me. An eye crinkling smile like it was the best thing she could have heard. "I don't mind you calling me mommy little guy. I kinda like it." I froze and she just kept doing what she was doing. After I was clean she stripped me of my night clothes and went to find me something to wear. She came back with one of those dreaded costumes. This one I have seen before. It was the one that made me look like a wolf. The same one I wore when Wolf was here and had gotten in trouble for not looking out for me good enough. Not the one with the big tail and mask, but the one after that. And that got me thinking that I haven't seen the rest of the guys for a while.
I reached up to hold on to my collar and it was gone. My collar was missing. My eyes started to water and I started panicking. Mandy saw this and looked at the outfit she was holding. She tossed it away then ran to me. She picked me up and held me tight asking what was wrong. All I could say was "Me collar. Where me collar? I needs it." I looked at her, my eyes full of tears and a need. I needed my collar.
Then she got it. She understood me. "That thing? I thought it was part of that costume you were wearing when you went Little. I took it off of you when I changed you days ago. You want it back today?" How could she have talked it off of me? It was mine. And it had important information on it. But more than that, my friends gave me that collar. My dad, Wolf, Bull, Panther, Husky, and even mama bear had given me dog tags for my collar. It meant that they were mine and I was theres. How dare she take it off of me.
She carried me over to my dresser and on top of it was my collar. She picked it up and I took it out of her hand. I pulled it to me chest and hugged it. Then she asked if I wanted her to put it on me. I looked at her and said. "No. Down." She started to walk back to my changing table. But I squirmed around in her arms and said. "Nooo!! Dowwwn!!!" She ether dropped me or put me down really fast, but I ended up falling forward on to my knees. But then I got up to my feet and ran.
In just a diaper, with my collar in my hands, I ran to find my dad or Husky. I found Husky first. He was in the living room on the couch reading something. But that came to an abrupt end when I jumped and landed on him. He said something but all I could do was hold out my collar and cry "She took it off. She took it off of me. Why? I no take it off. Not never. Put back. Peasss" I don't know what book he was reading, but it went flying as he grabbed the collar out of my hands and put it back where it belonged. He pulled me in to a hug and held me there until my crying stopped and I was a little more in control of myself.
Mandy came in and asked Husky what was the big deal about that collar. He explained about how I first got it. About Wolf's mess up. But then he went on about why I decided to keep it. And about everyone giving me the dog tags for it, including him. He also told her the story about when we were camping and Bear tried to take it off of me. That was a little embarrassing. But they didn't see me turn red because my face was buried in his chest at the time. She came to us and got down to my level. She stroked my head and said. "I'm sorry, little one. I didn't know that meant so much to you. If I had, I would have never taken it off of you. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
Now normally, I would have said something to her. But a bear decided right then to growl at her. Ok, so maybe, a bear cub. My tummy decided to make it's self know. It said feeeed me. "Well, I guess I have an answer. Husky dear, can you start breakfast while I get this little one dressed?" Then she put out her arms and I slowly moved to let her take me. I was very hungry and the sooner I got dressed, the sooner I got food. Husky chuckled but said yes. And she took me back to my room.
