One day the girls were playing picnic with the teddies they had to leave urgently beacause they were late for...something. But when they had left and the car had pulled out of the driveway the teddies realized there was a leftover sandwich right in the middle of the picnic blanket. The teddies left it there as they thought one of the girls would eat it when they got back. But the girls didn't get back that day. Or the next, or the next, or the next. All the teddies soon realized that they had gone on a holiday. The sandwich was still sitting there, on the rug. It was half eaten and moldy but now nobody bothered to get rid of it because now it was too gross. But it just got worse. The more days that went by the stinkier it got. After a week you couldn't even go into the playroom without suffocating from the stink. Soon one teddy got and idea. Rufus. He thought that if him and Yogy could somehow get rid of the sandwich, they would be heros in Teddytown, and everyone would love them. No more Giggles mocking them about being fat, No more teddies laughing at them for doing silly things, they would be heros! 

He rushed out to his garage and jumped into his bright blue jeep. Then he drove as fast as the speed limits would let him, (and maybe a bit over) all the way to Yogy's house. "YOGY! YOGY ARE YOU HERE?" He yelled out as he opened the front door without even bothering to knock. Yogy came tumbling down the stairs, a look of panic on his face.

 "What! Where's the fire!" Rufus looked at him, confused.

 "There's no fire, I just had an idea." 

 "You didn't have to yell." Yogy said angrily, he was still getting over his panic attack. Then suddenly his mood changed, "Well," he said "What is it?" 

"What is what?" Rufus answered.

 "The idea!" 

"Oh yeah!" Said Rufus, remembering what was actually there for. "Well, you know that stinky old sandwich in the playroom, the peanut butter one that's half eaten and rotten." (He acted as if there was more than one sandwich just randomly lying around in the playroom) 

"Yes" Yogy answered, "The one that really stinks and suffocates you if you go in there." (He was acting the exact same way as Rufus was) 

"Yeah, yeah, that one. I had an idea that maybe if we could find a way to get rid of it we could be heroes of Teddytown!" Yogy was so excited! He too thought it was an amazing idea. As long as they could pull it off. " So," asked Rufus, "When should we do it? I was thinking Wednesday but we could also do Friday"..............................

It was Friday afternoon, the day that would go down in teddy history, the day the sandwich would dissapear. Rufus and Yogy were ready. They had plastic bags, perfume, soap, soup,(??) essentil oils, and they were wearing...snow clothes?! "Ready Captain Yogy?" Rufus asked in a robotic voice. 

"All set Captain Rufus." Yogy answered in an equally robotic voice. "On three, march. One, two, three, march." They marched into the playroom ready for anything. 

"Cough cough, Yooggyy, cough cough, it smells bad!" Rufus said as he coughed, again. 

"I-cough cough, know. We need-cough cough, to get rid of it. Get the plastic bag. We can collect it in that, put it in the bin, but first we should put some nice smelling oils under our noses." 

 "That's a good idea." So that's what they did. Then they sprayed perfume on the sandwich and chucked in the bag, or that's what was supposed to happen. What really happened is Rufus picked up the sandwich (with his bare hands!) and went to go put it in the plastic bag, but he slipped on some of the perfume spilled when they tried to spray the sandwich, which made it fly out of his hands and landed on Yogy's head. Yogy then freaked out and started dancing around, trying to get it off. Then it flew off his head and skidded across the ground heading for the stairs. The two teddies ran after it and tumbled all the way down the stairs and landed down at the bottom of the stairs, with the bread coming right behind them. "Now," said Rufus grumpily, "After that I really think we should get this straight to the bin and then go straight back to Teddytown." So they put it straight in the bin and ran all the way back to Teddytown as fast as they could. They landed in the middle of the town square, and as soon as they did everyone suddenly blocked their noses and ran away so fast you would hardly know they were ever there. Rufus and Yogy wondered why everybody was running away from them, then they soon realized. They may have gotten rid of the rotten sandwich smell in the human house, but they'd transferred it to themselves! What silly teddies!
