Soon after the faint footsteps from a thoroughly exhausted Fae vanished into the night, my shame at having been told off by Fae came back to haunt me, I knew just from her facial expressions the moment I uttered the words “The Spider” meaning her beloved Scorpio, that I was on a path to a collision with her heart and mind. Yet despite her obvious annoyance at hearing the child she held so dear being besmirched, still I carried on as if I thought she would just allow me to slate a being she adored so much. In darkness and silence I sat with only the firmly fixed eyes of Mr BooPoo to keep me any kind of company at all, he sat happily resting against the house that Fae and Lenola had worked on all through the night, his glistening eyes and loving smile begging for light. My mind was full of questions and in particular the one that rose to the surface to haunt me the most was “How do I inspire Lenola and make memories for us both to share?” I kept asking myself over and over in silence and darkness. I kept pondering and pacing round looking to Mr BooPoo for any kind of consolation at all and soon I looked at his soft fluffy legs resting on the table, a soft plush fur seemed like the perfect place to ease myself down and think about a new adventure for me and Lenola to share. As I rested down on his squishy leg comforted by his soft fur as well, my thoughts began wandering and I held out my palm and thought of my favourite moment from the day. An orb of bright light began forming with Lenola’s gentle giggles echoing in my heart and mind, lost in the memory I forgot myself uttering “Alone is not true Mr BooPoo, I have you to keep me company too” casting a soft voice to the wind. I looked up and his head had flopped forwards just slightly as if he was watching the memory that me and Lenola now shared and had to ask “I wonder what memories of Lenola that you hold dear?” Though he didn’t reply in my mind, that fixed smile on his face was my answer “I bet you have shared some incredible times?” I felt myself looking deeper into his eyes hoping he would answer as I uttered to the wind “Some I bet have been so great that yours would easily beat mine” Mr BooPoo didn’t say anything or even do anything as his belly folded where he was slowly falling forwards until he had come to rest barely propped against the walls of the house “What about the time you first met?” I looked up at his fluffy red nose, lost in my own imagination “Or when she told you that she loved you for the first time?” I felt myself becoming more entangled, just looking into his eyes and casting my mind back to the magical flight that me and Lenola had shared “Someday Mr BooPoo I hope that moments like those will be memories of mine, little fragments of happiness that I will cherish for all time” I had become so lost as I held my hands out before him “I have shown you mine, so what about yours? Will you share those with me?” I looked as he stayed motionless and silent, pushing my hands together and thinking really hard, yet as I pulled them apart not a single memory would form? I looked up and growled “Come on, you must have something wonderful to share?” hoping to see something until I laughed into the air “Rowena, he’s not real!” I gently touched his soft red nose and chuckled to myself “Even if he has memories but he could never share?” A faint wind whistled across the table, blowing my fringe gently before my eyes and I could swear I heard a new almost silent male voice fill the air, I stood up slowly and warily as a cold shiver ran across me, convinced that far in the distance I could see those glowing red eyes. I edged nervously to the edge of the table, casting my alerted eyes far down the long hall, as nothing appeared, I slowly let out a deep slow breath and consoled my own fears, I laid down on the table and looked far into the hallway lined with different doors as the same faint voice echoed from behind me, I looked behind me and could see nothing but Mr BooPoo with my glowing memory lighting those vacant eyes “Oh Mr BooPoo, maybe in the heart of my mind you can talk after all?” I looked to him hoping to hear the voice again but knew deep down that silence would rule above all. Settling down I turned my mind back to the hall and started to contemplate if I could really spark Lenola’s imagination even a little or maybe not even at all? Feeling the overwhelming pain of defeat I looked back at Mr BooPoo and rose back to my feet, I started making my way back to rest on his knees when the idea for a new adventure, of our new adventure soon filled me with glee. Talking to the wind I quizzed “How do you do it Mr BooPoo?” my voice echoing between my ears “Lenola knows that you can't walk?” I hoped to hear that faint voice again “Lenola knows that you can’t talk?” I reached him and gently stroked his fluffy red nose “So how do you do it? She knows you can do nothing but still she believes in you?” I looked up at his fluffy antlers “Oh Mr BooPoo, I just want to know why she believes in you?” I paced around him slowly as the memory I had laid in his lap began to fade away “To her it doesn’t matter because she thinks that you can do these things all the same?” My frustrations were mounting as I looked back to the hall and a revelation started to hit me “But it doesn’t matter that you can’t do them?” I walked towards the edge of the table still strewn with remnants of the long day and night endured by Fae “Because Lenola believes that you can?” I paused and looked over the edge at the ground so far beneath me “Lenola believes that you can talk and she believes that you can walk?” I looked back at him sitting happily awaiting Lenola in silence and darkness as my jaw almost hit the tabletop. “As long as Lenola believes that you can, then to her you can do everything and more, because she believes that you are the best of all!” My mind raced as I looked down the hall again and uttered deep to the air “There’s a hallway lined with doors?” I started to look behind me again to Mr BooPoo “What if there’s a new world behind every door? A new adventure behind every one of them!” almost exploding with excitement as I jumped in place “There’s a new world and adventure behind every one of them and all told through the eyes of a child who believes in them all!” I was so thrilled as I looked back at Mr BooPoo and couldn’t contain myself as I ran straight towards him, almost crying with delight as I reached him and grabbed him so tight. I gripped him firmly and kissed his fluffy red nose “Oh thank you Mr BooPoo” swinging round into his arms as I held on “No wonder she believes in you!” I giggled as my weight started pulling him forwards and over we both would go! My bum clattered onto the tabletop and down he came too, his big fluffy belly pinning me firmly in place! I giggled and blushed as his fluffy red nose tickled my own “Fae should have warned me about you Mr BooPoo!” I giggled and kissed him again and pulled myself out from beneath him, then tried to sit him upright again and as he came to rest I said with delight “Come the morning Lenola! on a new adventure we will go!” I leaned against his soft belly and smiled again “But tonight I will keep company with you!” I sat back on his soft fluffy legs and leaned into his chest “Thank you Mr BooPoo, tonight can I dream with you?”
