After a few minutes, Billy comes back. He's now dressed in cowboy pyjamas, and looks freshly groomed. He smiles and sits down next to you, being careful not to hurt you.
"Finished your mac and cheese?" Billy asks.
"Yep," you say. "Thanks for the food."
"No problem. It would be cruel not to feed you." Billy picks you up and lays on the bed, then places you on his chest. He giggles as he watches you rise and fall with his breathing. He takes you in his paw again and places you on his pillow, next to his head. He turns his head to face you, smiling.
"Wow Keane, it's hard to believe you're here!" Billy says quietly.
"Same here," you reply, smiling.
Suddenly, Billy's mother can be heard outside the room. Billy quickly stuffs you inside his pyjamas through the opening at his throat and slides under his blanket. His fur is surprisingly fluffy. You flatten out the fur so you can breathe under the pyjamas and lay on your back. Everything suddenly goes dark as Billy's mother tucks him in. You hear her say goodnight, then hear her footsteps fade away.
Billy moves the blankets off his chest and unbuttons the button where you are.
"That was close," Billy says. "Hmmm... I don't have any place to put you. Do you want to stay where you are?"
"Sure, it's comfortable here," you reply.
"Um, Keane... Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well... Are you... Are you okay with me keeping you and all? I mean, it must be strange being like this..."
"No, I don't mind, don't worry. You're nice for a giant wolf. I mean, it is awkward being your pet, but I'll manage."
"You don't have to be my pet! Just friends. Want to be my friend?"
"Of course Billy."
"Great." Billy smiles at you, and you can tell he's really happy. He strokes you softly with his paw, and you pat his paw lightly.
"Goodnight Keane," Billy says contently.
"Goodnight Billy."
Billy buttons his pyjama top again and pulls the blanket over himself. You pull his soft, fluffy fur over you to get comfortable. The warmth and the movement of Billy's chest makes you very sleepy, and for the first time today you feel completely safe. Soon, you slowly drift off to sleep... | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
