Stuffed toy.

In Leon's side, 7 pm at night.

Leon was currently sitting in the dining room. In front of him was his mother whom has a hesitant look on her face like as if she wanted to say something but cannot.

" Mom, why did you call me here for? I'm already veey sleepy. " said Leon with his eyes half closed. His really feeling sleepy at this moment.

Hearing her son's words, Christina finally steeled herself and said, " It won't take long Leon. You can sleep after that. "

" Okay mom. But, what do you want to tell me?"

" It's about....do you... do you want to study in private school, Leon? "

" Private school? Isn't that school only for rich people, mom? We cannot afford that. "

" So you also know about private school, Leon? But this private school is different with other similar private schools out there. And they said that they will cover all of your tuition and miscellaneous fees in case you agree to study there. The only thing you need to do is to pass their test. Want to try it, Leon? " Christina asked while looking at her son in front of her. She decided that no matter what his choice will be, she will support it.

" This...is so sudden mom. Why do you want me to go to this private school? " Leon tried his best to keep his eyes open.

" It's not like that, Leon. I already told you that I won't force anything to you right? That's why I'm asking you now if you want to go or not because I know that you're smart, Leon. My son is smart. So smart. "

" Hehe. Mom, you're making me embarrassed. I'm just a normal kid. Your son."

" * giggles *. Normal kids don't call themselves as 'normal kid'. But yes, you are my son so I want the best for you. Someone told me that this private school will be able to nourish your gifts so.. do you want to go there or not? No matter what you choose, mom will support you. " said Christina in a serious and determined tone.

Hearing that, Leon couldn't help but feel touched. He didn't expect her mother to trust him this much despite his age. Leon didn't know if her mother was irresponsible or simply love him so much to the point where she's even asking for his opinion despite being only 5 years old.

" I.. I don't want to go to private school mom. Or at least, not yet. Perhaps I'll consider it when I'm in highschool or college? But that's still too far from now. "

Christina can't help but be surprised hearing her son's answer.

" Leon....you... you also knows about high school and college already? Who told you about that? " asked Christina as she looked at her son waiting for his answer.

" I... I learned it from... I...* giggles * I love you mom! Good night! " said Leon before he stood up and bolted inside his room leaving his mother in the dining room alone.

Christina didn't expect her son to do that so she didn't manage to react immediately and just stared at the direction where Leon vanished.

After awhile a smile appeared on her face and said, " This child. He's becoming more and more daring. "

The next day, Leon woke up at passed 7 o'clock in the morning but after remembering that he didn't have a class today, he didn't get up and returned back to sleep. His mother Christina also didn't disturb him and simply prepared breakfast for him so Leon will have something eat it later.

Leon continued sleeping like that until 8:30 am when he felt like there's something soft poking his face. Opening his eyes, Leon saw two bright eyes staring at him curiously.

" Good morning, Leon. Wakey-wakey. Let's play now. Moah. " said Carla after seeing that Leon opened his eyes.

She'd just arrived but immediately went here after Christina told her that Leon was still sleeping in his room.

Leon lazily stretches his hands as he yawned before looking at the person who woke him up and realized that it was Carla. He was confused at first why he can see her here but then, Leon remembered what happened yesterday so he just smiled.

" Hmm.....? Aah! There's a very cute stuffed toy! Come here, little stuffed toy! " Leon reached out his hands and held both of Carla's shoulder blades before pulling her down onto the bed. Leon was now hugging Carla as he pretended to continue sleeping.

" Eh? I'm not a stuffed toy, Leon. I'm Carla. I'm Carla! " She tried to struggle with her small body but Leon didn't let her go.

" Carla? No, I don't believe you. You are a stuffed toy because you are soft and smell good too. "

" * giggles *. Wake up now Leon, auntie said that we have to go out immediately so we can eat breakfast together. "

Only then did Leon released Carla before he slowly got up. He then took out the Brick Game device from his storage ring and handed it to Carla before saying, " Here Carla. Go to the dining room first and play with this. I'll follow you later after I washed my face. Is taht okay? "

" Mn. I'll do what Leon said. " Carla received the device from Leon. Although she was amazed by how it suddenly appeared on Leon's hands, she didn't asked how did he do that because she knows that Leon won't tell it to her. Instead, she stood up and went off the bed before heading towards the dining room.

Leon also did the same and went towards the bathroom.

...

In the dining room, Carla put down the Brick Game device on the side as she stared curiously at the food in front of the table with an amazed expression on her adorable little face.

" Oh Leon, you're here. Come and sit down beside Carla. Breakfast is ready. " said Christina after seeing Leon arrived.

" That's right Leon.. Look, auntie Christy prepared a super big fish here look. It's soooo big! " Carla had an amazed expression on her adorable little face as she pointed at the fish on top of the table.

Leon nodded his head and walked towards the table, sitting beside Carla. The fish was more than a foot in length with gray skin and a horn on its head.

" Isn't this.... a unicorn fish, mom? " asked Leon after seeing the fish on the table. He already saw this fish before but not as big as this. He wondered where did his mother got it because this kind of fish supposed to be rare.

" Unicorn fish? Is that what this fish is called? Your uncle Ruben gave it to me this morning and said that it's called ' Sungayan '. " answered his mother.

" Uncle Ruben? Is he a fisherman mom? " He cannot remember his uncle being a fisherman though so perhaps he bought this fish in the market.

Christina shook her head as she started to slice down the fish to make it easier for Carla and Leon to eat it later.

" No Leon. Your uncle said that he bought it in other place this morning. Your uncle had just came back to this city and wanted to see you but didn't wake you up. Oh, and he also bought you a new pair of shoes. I'll give it to you later. But for now, let's eat first. Here Carla. " Christina handed a portion of fish to Carla.

" Thank you auntie. But... that is so big. I can't eat it all, auntie Christy. " replied Carla after seeing the big portion of the fish on her plate.

* giggles *

Leon and Christina just laughed at her and didn't say anything as they also put a portion in their plates and started eating. Carla can only pout her head as she also started to eat her food.

....

30 minutes later, in Leon's room.

Leon was sitting on his bed playing with the Brick Game on his hand. Carla on the other hand was pouting her lips as she patted her small tummy.

" Bad Leon. Bad auntie Christy. " she complained.

Hearing her complains, Leon chuckled a bit before looking at the still pouting Carla and said, " Who told you to force yourself to eat everything, Carla? You should have returned it if you can't finish your food anymore. "

" Eh? But Leon.. you said that it's bad if you won't eat all of your food. Mommy also said the same to me. "

" Oh, that's right Carla. Carla is really a good and smart girl. " Leon put his hand on top of her head and gently patted it.

" But you don't have to force yourself if you really can't finish it all, Carla. "

" Really? Then.. then why did you not tell me that earlier, Leon? Look, my tummy became big. "

" Hahah. But even if your tummy became big, Carla is still the cutest girl in the world! " said Leon with an exaggerated expression on his face.

" * giggles *. Thank you Leon. Oh, that's right Leon, please continue your story now. I want to know what happened to little Carla and her mommy Pauline. "
