Chapter Text
Sam was sitting on the couch waiting for her roommate to come back. Cat had told her to wait there as she wanted to “introduce someone to her”. Sam was a little annoyed; she had already met Cat’s Nona and she had met the weird little neighbour’s kid, who else was important? Just as Sam was about to stand up and look for her, Cat came back, carrying a suitcase. Sam was confused.
“What is this?” she asked.
“See!” exclaimed Cat, opened the suitcase and revealed a bunch of plushies. “I want you to meet them!”
Sam stared at her. “You want me to meet who?”
“All my plushies! They live here too!”
Okay, Sam knew already that the little redhead was crazy, but that crazy?
“Cat...those are stuffed animals.” She said for a lack of a better argument.
Cat gasped “They don’t like that word!”
“What word? Animals?”
“No.”- Cat covered the ears of the purple giraffe she was holding and leaned in to whisper the next word- “Stuffed. Apologize to them!”
Sam sighed, she still thought this was stupid, but she didn’t want to wound her new friend and host, so she mumbled an apology.
Cat smiled and lied the purple giraffe in her lap. “That’s Mr Purple.” Sam nodded. “Say Hi to him!”, demanded the redhead.
Surprisingly without rolling her eyes and with a relatively friendly voice, the Blonde held the giraffe on eye level and said “Hello, Mr Purple, it is nice to meet you.”
Cat clapped her hands “Yay, and now give him a kiss”
“You’ve got to be kidding me!”
“Pleasy!”
“Fine.” Reluctantly, Sam kissed the plushie’s cheek. She dreaded that Cat would probably make her do this with every single one of her stuffed animals. She just hoped Cat wouldn’t expect her to remember the names. Why was she even still here? She barely knew this girl; she could just hop on her motorcycle and drive away. But she didn’t want to. As quirky as Cat was, Sam had grown fond of her during the past hours, and she wanted to stay with her. And if she had to kiss all her toys to keep her happy, she’d do it.
