Jason suggested that Kaylie’s parents sleep in Noah’s room and Noah and Kaylie sleep in the basement. Jason didn’t really have any other beds so he figured she could use Noah’s sleeping bag and air mattress which was still setup from Friday.
“Thank you Noah for letting us use your room.”
Noah wanted to look good in front of his Dad, “No problem, please make yourself comfortable.”
It was almost time for bed and Kaylie was already changed, she was wearing a thick pair of Footie Pajamas and a pink beanie to keep warm during the night.
“Here, you get into the sleeping bag first!” Kaylie demanded.
“We can sleep separately during the night Kaylie.” Noah was trying to reason with her.
“But I want to sleep with my teddy bear all night, you are soft and warm like my bed…” Kaylie was starting to look sad and Noah finally agreed to make her happy. He slowly crawled into the sleeping bag which was difficult with the costume on. There seemed to be enough room for both of them. Kaylie then got in and zipped up the sleeping bag, she rested her head on one of Noah’s bear arms and fell asleep immediately.
Noah and Kaylie woke up late, without any alarm clock. His Dad had come downstairs in a hurry to wake him up. “Noah, Kaylie get up, we need to hurry to school.”
Kaylie unzipped the sleeping back and rushed into the washroom, Noah started crawling out. Noah noticed all the lights were on and smiled.
Kaylie came out of the washroom and then his Dad appeared again. “Come on let’s go, Noah you need to meet Ruben before class remember!”
“Yes Dad” Noah was excited to finally have his body back.
Kaylie was dressed for school and the two of them climbed into Jason’s car. He was dropping him off on the way to work. Noah’s and Kaylie’s school were right beside each other which is also where the switch with Ruben is happening.
“Okay good luck Noah” His Dad looked at his son in the Teddy Bear Costume. “Oh Noah did you not have time to wash your face?”
“Oh my goodness, I forgot all about the facepaint.” Noah was getting nervous now, even after switching with Ruben he would need to clean his face.
“Okay I got to go, good luck I suggest you wash up before class.”
Noah and Kaylie got out of the car. Kaylie looked at Noah “Thanks for being my teddy bear all weekend!” She hugged Noah and ran off.
Noah was getting a lot of stares, but with the costume on no one should be able to recognise him. He waddled over to the meeting spot and saw Ruben, Carlos and Trevor.
“Oh! Look who it is our favorite stuffed bear!” Trevor exclaimed, still enjoying Noah’s situation.
Carlos and Ruben looked confused. “Why are you wearing the bear suit?” Carlos asked.
Noah explained how he had nothing else to wear and how none of the stores were open so he just wore the bear all weekend. He also had to explain the deal with the face paint. Trevor started laughing, he was really enjoying this.
“Well how are we going to switch back now?” Ruben was clearly confused.
“We can just head to the washroom and make the swap, it should only take a minute.” Noah explained his plan since he needed to wash his face anyway.
“I’m not wearing a Teddy Bear Costume all day.” Ruben stated.
Noah froze, he didn’t think of a situation where Ruben wouldn’t switch back with him. “Come on now, I want my body back.”
“No, I remember how annoying that costume was from Halloween. You can’t do anything in that thing. It was fine to sleep in, but wearing it all weekend sounds frustrating.” Ruben was not budging. “I’ll use your body for school and then you can come to my house to swap. Then I can change into my normal clothes.”
Noah was getting panicked now, he did not want to spend all day in his classes and get made fun of. “Please Ruben, I can’t spend anymore time like this.”
“Well then you should have worn something normal, I’m not embarrassing myself for my brother’s friend.”
Ruben then walked off towards his school, the tallest out of everyone.
Trevor was killing himself laughing. “Oh my god this is too much, you guys are a blast.”
Carlos looked at Noah. “Honestly I don’t think Ruben was afraid of the costume, I think he just wanted to be the tallest in his class for a day”
Noah was still stunned at what just happened. Eventually the bell rang.
Noah decided to.
