Furaha, Orko & Optimus

Deep in the countryside there was a peaceful, cosy house big enough for three people. And by three people, I mean Furaha the lioness cub, Orko, a wizard from Trolla, and Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. They lived a wonderful yet cosy life together every day, and they were never far apart from one another. And by Optimus Prime, I mean the one from Armada. This story charts their daily routine in the soft, gentle countryside.

Furaha and Orko would wake up first every morning, and tickle Optimus to make sure he was awake. He laughed so much he fell onto the floor. Then after Furaha and Orko brushed their teeth, they would go downstairs and have breakfast. Optimus always ate with - actually, I'm not going to say what he does to his faceplate while he eats, because somehow it'll traumatise you.

After breakfast, the three friends went outside into the meadow to play. They played hide and seek in the forest, and in the meadow they played tag and rolled down hills. Sometimes they liked to lie down peacefully on the grass and watched the clouds go by. You'd know how they'd feel with rain - every time it bucketed down, the friends would frolic about in the rain and roll in the mud, laughing, like they were a team of Australian State Of Origin players or someone. Sometimes, they would run back indoors and keep warm with a nice bath, which is big enough and deep enough for three people like Furaha, Orko and Optimus. Optimus would fill it up with lots of bubble bath and Furaha and Orko would splash him, resulting in him splashing them. In the end, they would always play nicely together and keep all nice and squeaky clean. After this, they would all curl up by the fire and drink not-too-hot, not-too-cold hot cocoa to keep themselves warm.

When it does rain, even in the mornings, Furaha and Orko would play quiet board games together with Optimus, and sometimes they can engage in role play. They can be anything - mermaids, desert warriors, queens, anything really, as long as Optimus plays along with them. He would chuckle along with their antics and join in as a king or something. To our two friends, he was the king of their world.

Bedtimes were really soothing. After dinner (I'm not going to tell you about Optimus' faceplate, I promise), the friends would snuggle down on the sofa in a warmly lit room and relax, snuggled by Optimus' side, while they gazed into the fire. After the fire was put out, they would go upstairs and have another nice, warm bath, then after they've dried themselves and brushed their teeth, Optimus would snuggle into the bed big enough for him, Orko and Furaha and tell them a soothing bedtime story, before all three snuggled right down to sleep.

....in the house, that's big enough for our three friends...Furaha, Orko and Optimus.
