It was almost like they were brothers.

With her bright blue eyes and peroxide blonde hair, Cassie stood out from the crowd. She was always gaining admiring glances from Daddies and Doms when the pair of them were out partying.

Cassie was creative, thoughtful and had a superb sense of humor too. She was always making Katie laugh. It was like she knew exactly what to say and how to say it too.

Cassie’s comedic gifts came to the fore in her webcomic.

Katie would eagerly wait for the latest edition to drop on Cassie’s Patreon and devour it on one sitting. Often, she would re-read it immediately to pick up on some of the jokes and gags she might have missed on the first read-through.

Katie felt honored to have such a talented friend.

Cassie always supported Katie in her own creative endeavors too. After every audition, Cassie was always there to provide support and feedback. She was convinced that Katie would make it on Broadway one day, even if Katie’s faith in herself had dipped in recent times.

Tonight was no different.

Cassie was in great form.

The laughs hadn’t stopped since the second she had entered the door.

The pair of them were putting on a late-night performance ofRomeo and Julietusing stuffies.

This was classic Cassie.

She always knew how to put an amusing spin on an old classic. Cassie’s webcomic was known for its parodies of grand old movies and plays.

Plus, the opportunity to break out Katie’s complete stuffie collection was too good to miss.

‘This will be the greatest show on earth!’ Cassie declared as she held aloft her own stuffie, Bouncer. The lop-eared neon green bunny waved from side to side as Cassie lifted the makeshift curtain to reveal the cast of characters.

In this version of the classic Shakespearean play, a teddy bear actor called Roman, and a bunny rabbit police officer called Julia are deeply in love.

This bond is despite their contrasting backgrounds and personalities.

Katie and Cage had built an elaborate set using duvet covers, cardboard, balloons and a variety of colorful pillows.

It looked superb.

It was the kind of guaranteed fun and wholesome activity that would help Katie relax. Get her closer to finding her Little Space. This was when any Little felt at their most natural.

Happiest.

Free to behave exactly how they most wanted to without fear of judgement.

With Cassie alongside her and their entire cast of stuffie characters, everything was looking good.

‘Hey, it’s good to see you smiling again,’ Cassie said, picking up an elephant stuffie and placing him back on the stage. ‘You’ve had my back often enough. I had to make sure you were okay. Figured this would be a good idea.’

‘It super-duper definitely one million percent was a good idea!’ Katie squealed, joyfully helping the Roman stuffie across the stage. ‘I owe you one!’

Before Katie could continue with the play, there was a loud knocking at the door.

Katie froze.

Panic surged over her body.

Who was knocking so late?

Katie wasn’t expecting anyone.
