It was Falineās birthday, and Bambi was absolutely determined to make it one of the best days ever. It had been hard to come up with something to do with Faline that they hadnāt already done since they had started going out, and he had been feeling increasingly alarmed until someone, possibly sent by an angel, told him about a store, a fantastic store, where you could make and customise your own teddy bear.
It sounded as though it catered mainly to children, but it also sounded like Fun with a capital F, and Bambi was sure Faline would like it too. It had certainly seemed like it, when he had proposed it to her the week earlier, and maybe that had ruined part of it, not getting the element of surprise, so to make up for it Bambi also made sure he arrived at her house that morning with the biggest bouquet of flowers he (and possibly the world) had ever seen.
And now they were nearing the store, him clasping her hand in his, and Bambi was just about bouncing on the balls of his feet, so excited was he at the thought of getting to make his own bear.āLook! You can even get costumes forĀ āem, too!ā He pointed excitedly at the window display, seeing bears in bee costumes and princess tiaras.
