Switching Friends Up (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Lost Toys and Unsanitary Kitchen

The distressed blue blob was trudging back and forth in the hallway. He was still processing what Bloo just said moments ago. It was a lot to take in. The thought of having to act more like Bloo on a daily basis until the two of them can be reverted back to normal was very worrying. To cause troubles for others on purpose? To act extremely entitled and boast for about every single thing that's only slightly impressive at best? It was practically an impossible task to pull off for him.

Looking back at Wilt's room, an idea sprung out of his head.

"Maybe I can go hide in my room until lunchtime so nobody can find me till then! That way I don't have the need to impersonate Bloo. Brilliant!" Wilt thought to himself.

Scanning the whole room with his eyes, Wilt had set his sight towards his own locker filled with numerous pairs of sneakers.

"With Bloo's body, I can hide in here with no problem."

Wilt carefully opened the locker and hopped right into it.

Although the locker was very smelly because of all the sneakers jammed inside, Wilt was able to keep his composure since he got used to that kind of smell.

"Whew! The locker sure is cramped. Thankfully I'm not claustrophobic, or else I might have to find another place to hide. Of course, being tiny here helps too. I don't have to bend over my body to avoid getting hit on the head." said Wilt.

The purple buffed monster cried loudly to his 'airplane and palm tree' hybrid friend, "Senorita Coco, I lost two of my precious babies! Wah!"

"Cocococo?"

"Si. They're my babies because I love them so much. Do you know where they are?" Eduardo sniffled.

"Cococo!"

Coco decided to return to their room to investigate the case of the two missing stuffed toys. Eduardo agreed with a nod.

"Gracias, Senorita Coco."

The two of them sat down together on the bedroom floor. Coco crouched and laid an egg, revealing a detective outfit. She was determined to solve this perplexing case that she wanted to look more professional while doing so. Eduardo raised his eyebrow in amazement, "You look so marvelous, Senorita Coco."

As Eduardo was applauding Coco for her little magic tricks, Coco had already started examining Eduardo's toy box with her magnifying glass. Her eyes were peeled during the whole inspection. She knew that missing even the most trivial detail could be the downfall of her investigation and led to failure.

After that, Coco stepped closer to Eduardo and asked, "Cococo?"

Eduardo, with a bewildered look on his face, thought for a while and answered, "I believe they were still here in the toy box with me yesterday morning."

"Cococococo."

There was a long Q&A going on between Eduardo and Coco. On the left hand side, Coco wanted to gather as much information as possible from Eduardo through a bunch of 'wh-' questions. On the right hand side, Eduardo was trying his best to answer Coco's questions in detail, praying that the truth would be revealed soon and perhaps catch the crook.

It's a given that Wilt had overheard this conversation while hiding in his locker, Those unique voices came into Wilt's head and he could identify those voices promptly. They belonged to Eduardo and Coco. He was very tempted to walk out of the locker and help Eduardo with his lost toys but his instincts told him not to. On the outside, Wilt was still a small fry with two circular eyes adjacent to each other.

"I'm sorry Eduardo, but with me looking like Bloo, it's best for me not to interfere and let Coco help you instead." Wilt whispered to himself.

"Cocococo."
