The Giant Playroom

I had a weird yet playful dream last night…

I found myself in an enormous blue, yellow and red playroom, filled with toys of all different shapes, colours and sizes. Best of all, when I looked around, I found to my absolute surprise that all my friends were there - Bluey, Bingo, Mackenzie, Coco, Honey, Chloe, in fact just about everyone I knew was there.

I ran to join them, and in an instant we all started playing with the toys. Mackenzie and Jack played firefighters with the toy fire engines, while Coco and Indy were cradling baby dolls in their arms, feeling gentle and loving. Bluey and Bingo were acting silly and running about playing tag and laughing, while Lucky and Judo were dancing to some silly music playing on the cassette player. There were squeals of laughter for everyone, and there were just enough toys to go around.

Then, suddenly, as if out of nowhere, I saw something that made my eyes grow wide with interest. It was an enormous teddy bear, as big as a skyscraper, with a huge yellow bow tie.

I ran up to it and snuggled deep into its big, soft tummy, but as if a meteor had hit the ground, it started to speak. Its voice was so loud it shook the whole playroom. “I LOVE YOU!” it went, and heart-shaped beams shot out of where its heart was meant to be. WHOOSH! The whole playroom broke apart, and everyone went flying.

The next moment, we were out of the playroom and flying in the air, without any wings to hold us. It was so freeing, that for a moment, I felt like a bird flying high in the sky…except, it has friends to guide her.
