"Mister Ceedric, If I became a Teddy Bear, what would you do to me?"
A random question echoed through the tower as a sorcerer turned his head to the source. He was currently arranging some of the vials that they had just finished using for a certain spell
"What kind of question is that?"
"Just answer the question please" Sofia bit out with a shady smile on her face
Cedric looked up as he scratched his head, quite confused and not knowing what answer he should utter
"I will give you to a kid I guess..." he finally stated
A pout forms on the princess's face, his answer somehow didn't impress her one bit
"Just like that? You'll just give me away?" she exclaimed
"Sofia, you'll be a teddy bear. Teddy Bears should be with kids." Cedric responded
Sofia rested her finger on her lip upon hearing this. Somehow, his answer made sense
"I guess you're right... but still"
Cedric looked at her with a confused look on his face
"Still?"
The Princess looked at the ground to avoid her gaze as a hue of pink rushed through her cheeks
"I was hoping you'd keep me around or something..."
"Keep you around?" Cedric repeated
"But why would I do that?"
"I can be a helpful teddy bear!" Sofia reasoned
"Rightttt" he uttered
"Why are you asking this anyways?"
"Ask me next."
"What?"
"Ask me next!!" she repeated with a louder voice this time
"But I don't want to, it's a weird question"
Sofia was quite offended with his statement
"I made that question on my own, you know"
"No wonder it was weird..."
He then received a tackle from the princess who was glaring daggers at him. Despite his look, Sofia still looked as adorable as ever, she looked like a puppy doing her best intimidating growl
"Okay Okay I was just kidding!" Cedric chuckled she held on to the table
"If I transformed into a teddy bear, what would you do to me, Princess Sofia?"
"Simple, I would put sleep with you every night and never let you go"
The princess answered with an innocent smile on her face. It took Cedric a while to process what she just said, but when it finally came to him...
"You would what?"
Sofia gave him a leer as she reaches out for an empty jar on the table. Her cute expression, was now replaced by a scary look on her face
"That's right, Mister Ceedric." Sofia whispered under her breath as he walks closer to the now disturbed sorcerer
"You'll be with me forever!" her eyes narrowed, and Cedric could sense the weird aura coming from her "Forever and eveeerr" she whispered
Cedric grew frightened over this. Sofia is young, but she can be quite devious at times too. Seeing her like this is definitely unsettling
He took a step back to create distance, but the young princess shortened it by taking a huge step towards him.
Cedric gasped as her lips started to from a smile that was unlike her. If the others were to see Sofia like this, they probably would freak out
"Why are you running away, Mister. Ceedric?"
"I'm not running away, It's just too hot in here"
"Too hot in afternoon huh" Sofia uttered as her eyes glowed there for a second
"Sofia?"
"Cedric."
All of a sudden, everything around Cedric became big, which includes the girl herself – he felt tiny. Sofia then gazed at him with a rather devious smile as picked her up with her hand with ease
It didn't take long before Cedric finally realized that he had turned into the teddy bear that they were discussing about earlier. A black and white teddy bear that had brown eyes and puffy body
The girl then rubbed the teddy bear close to her cheeks with an awed expression. And Cedric couldn't get away, she was too strong for him
Her lips slowly parted, slowly uttering...
"Forever and ever, Mister. Ceedric~"
Cedric finally rose, his eyes seemed to fix on the spot as his heart was still beating continuously. It was still in the middle of the night, too early for his usual waking time
But somehow, something very scary came to his dreams. He doesn't even get nightmares anymore, and still, that specific scene still lingered to his deepest fears. It was still vivid and surreal to him.
He turned to the table and saw the teddy bear that he hid as a joke but forgot to return. The nightmare was definitely his punishment for pulling that prank on Sofia the other day. Cedric knew it was a prank too far even to his own immature standards.
And later that day, Cedric didn't hesitate to approach Sofia and return her teddy bear back. Barraging her with a thousand of apologies with a guilty look on his face as he just walked away.
She didn't even have the chance to speak, and so Sofia just sighed, knowing she just had a wonderful dream about him last night too
Sofia held the teddy bear and smiled. And she still remembers it quite well.

"Mister Ceedric?" Sofia exclaimed
A sight so unpredictable came to her eyes, a teddy bear that really resembled her favorite sorcerer. The plush slowly turned around, revealing it's black and white fur to her – this was without a doubt her Mister Ceedric
"I don't know what happened exactly, all I know is that the spell bounced back on me" Cedric uttered
"That is exactly WHAT HAPPENED" Sofa giggled in response
Sofia then picked the teddy bear up to her arms which startled him greatly
"Merlyn's Mushrooms... What is this?" he gasped in surprise
The girl giggled again as she held him close to her chest
"You are a teddy bear, so that means you're sleeping with me tonight!" Sofia smiled as she carries her outside of the workshop
"Wait what!?"
"shush" Sofia hushed with her finger on her lip "We don't want anyone seeing you talking in your teddy bear form
Upon finally reaching the room, Sofia then laid the teddy bear to her blankets as she magically changed her outfit into her pajamas. She made her way to her covers as she hugged the Black and White Teddy Bear close to her
Her eyelids were slowly drooping as she whispered under her breath....
"Good Night, Mister Ceedric."
