The Nursery In Trolla

It was one of those nights where the full moon shone on the beach near where Furaha and Orko lived. In their cosy little house, the duo were sound asleep in their warm bed, with the full moon shining its light onto Furaha. And when the moon shone on Furaha, she begins to dream…

Furaha woke up in a colourful place, with upside down trees and strangely shaped buildings. Orko woke with her too, and he was very excited to see the place he ended up in. “Trolla!” he cried, “I’m home!” “That’s your home planet?” asked Furaha. “Of course,” said Orko, “And this is the nursery where I used to work before my cruel life in Eternia. Look!” Furaha looked at where Orko was pointing. There in front of her was a tall building shaped like a baby’s bonnet, labelled: “Trolla Nursery - Home Of The Cutest Lil’ Magicians”. Furaha at once squealed in joy. “I wonder if there are any babies for me to look after in here?” asked Orko. “Well, you’ll just have to find out!” laughed Furaha, and she lead Orko inside.

In the nursery, the two friends went into the Newborn Room, where all the weak little newborn Trollans were fed milk and cuddled by caretakers with shadowed faces. The babies also had shadowed faces, so their eyes looked adorable. “Aaaaawwww…are those the babies you used to care for?” asked Furaha, feeling adored. “Yes! Some babies have grown up, but these are new ones.” “Really?” “Yes, you can come and cuddle some if you like.”

So Furaha and Orko went over to the babies and cuddled two of them - one was named Trala, the other was named Joiji. Furaha was put in charge of holding Joiji, while Orko held Trala. Furaha and Orko tickled and nuzzled and hugged the babies, who reacted with sweet little coos and laughter. Furaha giggled. “The babies feel like velvet towards my fur, Orko.” she said softly as Joiji nuzzled into her fur. “The babies love it when you nuzzle and cuddle them.” explained Orko, “It was my job to cuddle and care for the newborns on some days. Looking after them is hard work, but it’s really rewarding.” One Trollan caretaker, Beema, came up to the two friends. “Joiji and Trala need a nap now.” Furaha was a little disappointed, but as she knew newborns aren’t old enough to play or crawl yet, she put Joiji back into the cot and kissed him ‘goodnight’. Orko did the same to Trala.

Orko lead Furaha into the Baby Room, where there were lots of Trollan babies playing and crawling and trying to use their baby magic. “More adorable!” squeed Furaha. “Can I play with them?” “The babies are fully developed in this room, but you can play with them if you want.” Furaha went up to the playpen where some of the babies were playing with toys and crawling around. Orko went over to see how to babies on the right hand side of the room, while Furaha played with the babies in the playpen. One of the baby Trollans, Caura, was already learning to crawl, and was delighted when he saw Furaha say, “Look! Toes.” Caura was fascinated and grabbed Furaha’s toes gently. Furaha giggled as more Trollan babies came to pet her. “Hey, they like me!” she cried. “That’s because they had never seen a strange creature like you before,” called Orko as he tended to one Trollan baby with glasses, called Zozo. “Yeah? Well, they love me as much as I love you!” Upon saying that, Furaha felt herself being tickled by the babies. She laughed and she laughed, but inside her head she wondered if there was something missing. That’s it! The answer was found when Orko and Zozo came and tickled her. Furaha was laughing and laughing and laughing.

When the dream ended, Furaha found herself laughing so much back in her own bed that Orko was tickling her to wake her up. Furaha looked out of the window behind her bed. It was morning time already. “Orko, I had the most amazing dream!” she said. “I had it too Furaha,” he explained. “Yeah, we were back in Trolla, in the nursery where you used to work…”

THE END.
