World of Cotton Skies Ch.6

Chapter 6

Carrie went into the small laundry room near his bedroom, to take out his green pajamas that he had put in earlier that day. After he had changed in his bedroom, he had made sure that Jeru was in his there. Carrie couldn't risk Jeru not being in his room at night. Then Carrie had closed the door and went into his bed "See you later Jeru", He said... then fell asleep.

"Lee... Lee!... C'mon Lee wake up!" Carrie woke up, to the sound of Jeru, not the dog... but the living stuffed rabbit. He now was a light blue color, with a zipper going down his chest. "You awake?" He asked Carrie again, "Y-Yeah, I'm up Jeru...". "Well then c'mon! Lets go!", Jeru had jumped off of Carrie's bed and fell to the ground, he was barely a foot tall now, but still taller than a dog. Then he had scurried underneath the bed. Carrie got up from where he was laying down and stood above his bed, waiting for Jeru to come out. Jeru had came out from under, with two brown sturdy looking boots, then put them next to Carrie's feet. After that he went back under the bed. Carrie sat down on his carpet and began to put the boots on, he made sure that he had slept with his socks on. After that he stood back up and went to the small drawer next to his bed to get his watch. It was one thirty in the morning. Great, that gave them about four hours. After Carrie had put the watch on, he heard panting coming from under his bed. He stood back down and looked under it to see Jeru struggling to get a navy blue backpack out from under the bed. "Uh, hold on Jeru", Said Carrie, then he had reached under the bed and managed to grab hold of the backpack. He pulled it forward and raised it above the ground, then with the backpack still in the air, he looked back under the bed. Jeru wasn't there, "Uh... Jeru?" Asked Carrie, "Lee!" Said Jeru. Carrie looked behind him, Jeru was still holding the backpack by the strap, and was also dangling above the ground. "Oh! S-sorry!" Said Carrie as he placed the both of them on the top of the bed. Then he stood up, putting on the backpack, with Jeru still on the bed. Then he had gotten on his knees with his backpack facing Jeru. He knew what to do. Jeru zipped open a small part of his backpack and went inside, "Ready.", He said, then Carrie stood back up. "Is everything in their?" Asked Carrie, he could feel Jeru moving everything around in the backpack. "Hmm...", Mumbled Jeru "Flashlight, Buttons, jacket, band aids, lighter, and knife! We're ready". "I still don't see why I need a knife!" Said Carrie, "You don't always know what's out there Lee!" Said Jeru popping his head and arms out of the zipper. "Alright", Said Carrie "Lets go!".
