Michael!

Huh? Did you find him?

Yeah. Don't worry he's safe

Well where is he?

He's safe, duh

Chrissyyyy where is he??

Just come see me

Kinda hard to do if I don't know where you are kid

I'm not a kid and I'm at build-a-bear workshop

Where's that?

4th floor, hurryyyyy

Okay okay I'm coming the elevator's slow

Isn't this cool

Is what cool?

TELEPATHY

Hahaha I guess. Are you here yet??

I can't find it

Ughh I'm standing right outside the shop!

I looked around the mall and I didn't see Michael anywhere. Where was he?

Could you jump? He asked.

I jumped up and down waving my hands in the air.

Hahahha I see you now. He confirmed.

Seconds later he popped up behind me.

"So where is Ashton?" He asked. I wasn't going to tell him I found him secretly making a bear for his girlfriend so...

"He was just browsing through some stores. He's safe I promise. I think he's about done though." I explained.

"Phew, okay. We should meet them at the van then." He said as he started to walk.

"Wait! Before we leave..." I trailed off.

I really wanted this.

But it could be too much to ask for.

"What?" He asked curious.

"Could we please make a bear?" I finally said.

He bursted out in laughter.

"You want to build a bear?" He was chuckling so hard and holding his tummy. I slapped his arm as hard as I could.

"It's not funny! I've never had a doll." I muttered. I looked to my feet and pouted.

He fell silent for a moment. Then all of a sudden he grabbed my arm and dragged me into the store. Yay!

"Get the puppy one!" He suggested.

"But I like the kitten!" I protested. We've been arguing over this for a few minutes now and the employee was getting impatient.

"Who's the one paying for this?" He said in a stern voice.

"....You..." I mumbled, looking down to my shoes.

"And so I say you get the puppy. It resembles you anyway." He said.

What? I do NOT look like a puppy. But since I didn't have a choice I grabbed the lifeless animal and handed it to the employee. She started stuffing it with cotton by using the same tube I used with Ashton.
