    It was a long awaited time. The spring has come and all the flowers started to bloom. Mr. and Mrs. Eddy have already left the stuffed animals world and have been forcefully deported into the human world. Stuffy is in search of his mother and father, but he could not find them anywhere.

    There is a rule by nature which is forcibly being put into action in this world. Whenever a stuffed animal has attained the requirement for its existence in the human world they are being transported by a time traveller who takes them to this world. Here, they are being placed in any shopping complex to be bought by the humans. When they get transported into the human world, they are still alive but they lose their ability of voluntary movements and they appear to be lifeless.
    ‘Where are you mama and papa?’, cried Stuffy. He was unaware of the fact that they got transported into the human world. The days went by, but Stuffy could not find out the reason for the disappearance of his parents. Even though he was feeling very low because of the long separation from his parents he did not look pale but looked energetic and happy as ever. Stuffy is known for not showing off his grief and pain outwardly but he is suffering internally.
    One day inspector Ruddy arrived at Stuffy’s home. It is seen that Stuffy has filed a complaint stating that his parents went missing and it has been around a month and he had not heard anything from them. ‘Stuffy, I think….’, started inspector Ruddy. ‘Yes sir, tell me. What have you found out?’ asked Stuffy to inspector Ruddy. Inspector Ruddy was a little hesitant and thought for a moment. ‘Stuffy.. your parents had been transported into the human world. It is around a week and they are placed in one of the shops which sells stuffed animals. This has happened to them because they have reached the requirements to get transported. It seems that this has been a forceful deportation happening in this world and no force can stop this’, said inspector Ruddy to Stuffy. ‘Is there any way I could also travel to the human world?’, asked Stuffy to inspector Ruddy. The inspector was shocked to hear these words from Stuffy.
    Inspector Ruddy was able to witness a true bonding and love which is existing in this family and finally revealed the method of travel towards the human world. ‘There is one thing you have to keep in mind. Once you have entered the human world there is no turning back. You will lose all your qualities and the control over yourself. The humans will take care of you’, said inspector Ruddy. Stuffy stood firm in his decision and he willingly went to the human world.
    Finally after a long journey Stuffy was turning into an object of the human world. ‘Finally, I am reunited with my parents’, he said to himself but words could not be heard.
    All the three of them have finally lost all their autonomy and control over themselves. Their only wish was to be bought by a loving family and all the three of them should be purchased and taken into the same home.
    Mrs. Sherlock came to this shop where all the three teddy bears were there. She asked the shopkeeper to pack Mr. Eddy and Stuffy. Mrs. Eddy was left out and they both felt really very bad for the separation which they had to undergo. Little Scarlet who was Mrs. Sherlock’s daughter asked her mother to get one more teddy bear for her. And luckily only Mrs. Eddy was the only one left in the shop and was taken home by Mrs. Sherlock.
    Even amidst this transformation and separation the three teddy bears were united forever as per their wish, it was a small family but a happy family which has bought them. Mr. and Mrs. Sherlock along with their daughter took care of the teddy bears and all the three of them lived there forever.
