PILLOW FIGHT

'Hush RP!!'

'But Mattress..'

'Hush I say.. now don't be a crybaby!' Mattress cut in.

'Ooooohh it's happening!! finally!!' Honey jumped with joy.

'Now now.. Honey dear.. it sure looks like it.. let's just wait?' Mattress said.

'Okay... but I bet you... It is happening.. what bubby wanted... what she dreamed of... all those dreams and wishes and desires.. they are coming true!!... Ohhh bubby I'm so happy for you!.. really... your honeycomb, butterscotch, snuffles...' Honey continued to say.

'Oh shut it!! all those damn names!' RP snarled cutting Honey.

'What?.. those are my names.. names my bubby calls me with.. aren't they sweet?' Honey asked miffed.

'Oh, sure!’ RP rolled his eyes.

‘Hey! I’m sorry you don’t have a name!.. we can give you a name.. what do you say Mattress?’ Honey asked Mattress.

‘I don’t need your pity.. or a name.. I’m a pillow. A ‘RECRON PILLOW’. That is who I am!’ RP tried to sound tough.

‘No RP! We can give you more names.. real good ones!’ Honey tried to argue.

‘No, thank you! I’ll go with RP’ RP said.

‘If you say so.. RP’ Honey said looking away.

Bhuv held Purvi's hands in his own. He pulled her closer. Purvi looked up from the floor to look into his eyes.

‘Oh Mr. Snuffles would be so proud of his little girl.. she's so grown up!' Honey said looking at them.

'Mr. Snuffles? now, who's that?' RP asked.

'Oh Mr. Snuffles.. the bunny bubby had when she was a little girl.. she loved him so much! little bubby... sad he was ripped apart when she took him to the park along with her.. the monstrous hound!!' Honey explained.

'Ripped apart?' RP freaked out.

'Yeah.. all his cotton was out.. his little tail pulled apart... torn into pieces' Honey recollected the picture she saw with dread-filled eyes.

'What? wait... Mr. Snuffles was a stuffed bunny toy?' RP asked.

'Yeah... he was so dear to my poor bubby! she wept on my shoulder on Mr. Snuffles fifteenth anniversary.. she was looking at the dreadful pictures from the scene… Oh bubby how could you bear such a site?! I had to comfort her.. become her new Mr. Snuffles.'

'Right. Poor Mr. Snuffles.. poor bubby indeed!' RP said rolling his eyes.

‘Hey! He was one of us! Don’t you quiver from such a tragic end?’ Honey asked surprised.

‘He’s a stuffed toy.. we are pillows.. we have a purpose unlike him’ RP said.

Honey looked at him in disbelief.

‘How can you be so…. Mean?’ Honey said looking away.

‘I’m not mean!’ RP tried to argue.

‘You are mean RP.. you tried to pull me out of a magical moment!.. Mattress!... did I miss anything?' getting excited again.

'Nope.. still staring into each other's eyes... that's all' Mattress said.

Purvi took two more steps away from Bhuv.

'Oh, bubby! why are you going away from him? Isn't this what you wanted??' honey wondered.

Bhuv evaded the distance between them in one step and there she was.. with her back to the wall.

'Ooooh I can't see this..' honey blushed.

'Watch out there! you might burst out' RP snorted.

'Hush both of you!' Mattress said patting both on their backs.

"I love you" Bhuv almost whispered to Purvi.

Purvi looked up to look into his eyes. Bhuv was looking down at her perfect features. Eyes that looked dazed with love flowing through them.. cheeks that turned red when she blushed... lips that were trembling... He bet forward.

'Oh no no no! no Bhuv! don't do that!' RP pleaded with a grave look.

'Oh yes! yes... yes... yes!' Honey said closing her eyes.

"Love you too" Purvi whispered back.

Honey spread warmth and happiness while mattress helped keep each other together as their delicate souls united.

‘Take your hands off me!’ RP yelled when Purvi tried to grab him.

In another moment RP went crashing down onto the floor when Bhuv accidentally shoved him with his hand.

'No no no no no!' RP kept yelling all the while hoping for things to turn out his way.

'Hey RP! So..Umm.. how was the night?' Honey tried to talk to RP when he was back in his usual place by her side in the morning.

RP lay silently on his back looking blankly at the roof.

'Hey RP!' Mattress tried to talk.

'You must be very happy..' RP said to Honey.

'I am... RP' Honey tried to talk.

'Mattress..' RP cut in. ' do you remember those nights when Bhuv used to stay awake and think about his studies.. his work.. his dreams about his life with his future wife..'

'Well! he never shared his feelings with me!..' Mattress said.

'He did not? he shared them with me! every single thought. I could see through him until yesterday when...'

'Hey... bubby shared all her thoughts with me too... until yesterday... but you know what?.. yesterday I could get Bhuv's thoughts too..' Honey said.

'You could?'

'Mmm Hmm!' Honey nodded.

'Maybe I could have too! but I was..'

'Hey what happened to you yesterday... it was an accident' Honey tried to explain.

'I know!... I do... I'm happy for poppy...' RP said.

'Poppy?' Honey asked confused.

'You know he still watches the sailor cartoon.. must have been his favorite from his childhood... my he's so grown up!' he said ignoring Honey's question.

'Who is Poppy?' Honey asked suspicious.

'Poppy... that is what I call him... he calls me Captian Ranger Pop' he said hiding a smile.

'I SEE!!' Honey mocked Captain Ranger Pop, while all the three watched 'bubby' and 'poppy' live happily ever after with the most vigorous ‘pillow fight’ coming to an end.
