Small Origins: Bedtime Story
Nothing says goodnight like a soft, warm bedtime story. Small Origins, by the way, is a series of miniature Me, You, And...stories centered on Furaha as a baby or toddler, and Orko's many attempts to look after his little sister. In this story, Orko tells toddler Furaha a bedtime story about the two siblings living in the desert. They have a lack of water in their hut, so they set out to find some more. I'm going to include such scenes in Orko's story as Furaha playing with fennec foxes, a flashback sequence involving Orko's father telling him about Furaha's upbringing and Furaha and Orko sleeping in a tent and playing with shadow puppets.
The Sea Calls
Feelings of the sea can bring you into a state of calm and sensuality, especially when an Autobot and an Eternian wizard are involved. In this story, Furaha, Orko, Optimus Prime, High-Wire, Grindor and Sureshock head to the beach to play on the sand and in the water, but Furaha senses the sea is calling out to them. Optimus leads them in a breathing exercise to get a better understanding of what the sea is trying to tell them before they all have a soothing swim in the ocean.
Furaha & Koko
This is inspired by true events, where I went out for ice cream and a friend of mine had an epileptic fit right outside the cafe. This story introduces Furaha's cousin Koko, his two sisters, his older brother, his mother, his father and his tiger support worker Azami, as Furaha, Orko and Minty discover from Furaha's parents what epilepsy is during a trip out into town for ice cream when Koko suddenly has a fit. Koko has a catchphrase, which he says just before his every seizure: "Can you see...ladybirds?"
Me, You, And...Small Origins: Meet Timon & Pumbaa
One of many stories where Furaha meets her friends for the first time, this story follows Orko as he introduces toddler Furaha to two new friends of his: Timon and Pumbaa. Yes, these two are new characters I've added into Me, You, And..., and their comedy never fails to make Furaha laugh, especially the lame jokes they crack and the puns they give out sometimes. Timon and Pumbaa find looking after Furaha hard to handle, but with Orko's help, they make looking after their new friend a breeze.
The Me, You, And...Origins stories
Me, You, And...Origins tells the tales of Furaha's transitions from baby to cub, all centered around a different subject as she plays and bonds with her brother Orko. Stories include Our Bond, The Tickle Monster, Copycat, Time For Bed, Bath Time, How We Wake Up and Teething.
Shower
I may have mentioned this before in a previous post, but in this story, Furaha and Orko spend a hot day swinging off vines into a lake, where they relax and feel the coolness of the water surround them. Later, as it begins to rain, the two enjoy it even more. This story proves that anyone can enjoy natural water, whether they live in the wild or not.
I Am Water
In this story, which once again features the Armada incarnation of Optimus Prime and his Mini Con friends, Furaha, Orko and their robot friends go for a swim in the lake near a willow tree. When Furaha sees High-Wire and Grindor touch each other with their hands, Optimus has to explain that Mini-Cons touch their hands as a way of expressing their love and kindness.
Furaha & The Polar Bears
Furaha tells us a story about her and Orko being raised by polar bears in the Arctic, and the many adventures they have in the land of ice and snow each day, playing, exploring and diving under the ice to swim. Their adventures are so exciting, it'll cool you even on humid days like this. Speaking of, before I had the idea to do my blog, I got a very bad humid headache last night and had to have an early night. My story 'Feil's Story' is based on that experience, about Furaha's cousin Feil experiencing sickness during her picnic treat after a trip to the dentist. That is sure to have a character that'll relate to sick kids across Scotland.
Bluey According To Timon & Pumbaa
If you feel a bit down in the dumps after reading such heartwarming stories, these takes on Bluey episodes we know and love are sure to make you laugh...after you've cried! If your tear ducts are all wet from watching Baby Race or Onesies, then Timon and Pumbaa, the two show-stealers from Disney's The Lion King, travel to Australia to explore different customs explored in Bluey and try to have lots of fun along the way. I recommend you watch the Timon & Pumbaa Find Out Why shorts - some are on Youtube, especially my favourite one about sneezing, especially since I sneeze a lot.
The Joy Of Mud
This idea spawned from my worries about me not liking the Bluey episode Dirt and only liking the montage of Bluey, Bingo and Judo playing in the dirt. In this story, Furaha, Orko, Kiburi and Ua visit a thermal mud pool and have a fun time splashing about and relaxing in the sticky greyish-brown stuff, discovering there is more to mud than getting dirty. You mustn't worry about Bluey, it'll be so exciting that it'll knock you right off your comfy black chair!
