Rachel and Ditto

Rachel clapped both hands to her mouth to keep quiet as she stayed hidden in the closet. Her giggles were almost silent as she listened carefully for someone. Suddenly, footsteps stopped outside her hiding place and the door opened.

In a split second, Rachel jumped over the intruder and took off at a fast run, being careful not to hit the scatter rugs. She laughed as she ran.

Suddenly, something landed on her from behind and she fell forward onto a mountain of pillows that had been set up in the living room. Laughing, she tried to get up, but couldn't as more of something landed on her and pinned her when she turned on her back. "Ditto!" she tried to sound mad, but the grin on her face made her fail miserably at that.

"We got you now!" said five Dittos as they took up positions by her stomach, arms, and neck and began tickling her. Rachel squirmed to get away as she laughed her hardest. After about fifteen minutes, all five stopped and went back to just one Ditto who watched as Rachel tried to catch her breath again, still giggling a little. She then smiled up at Ditto and moved one arm a little, patting the space next to her. Ditto immediately settled down beside her, snuggling as she placed one arm around him in a sisterly gesture.

"You won 'hide-and-tickle-me', Ditto," she said. "Thanks."

"Thanks for playing with me," said Ditto before yawning. Rachel also yawned and the two fell asleep on the mountain of soft pillows.

Chromastone came home from his mission, which had been a brief one thankfully, and was stopped by Snare-Oh, who quietly shushed him.

"Shh, don't make a sound but look in the living room," said the mummy-like alien quietly.

Curious, Chromastone went to look and saw the cutest sight which made him smile. There, among the many fluffy pillows, lay Rachel and Ditto, both sound asleep. Chuckling quietly, he got a large blanket and gently covered them both before stroking Rachel's head tenderly. She stirred a little in her sleep. "Shh, it's alright, little one," he whispered softly to his charge, who stopped stirring after hearing her guardian's voice. After a few more minutes, Chromastone got up and quietly walked away, Snare-Oh following him out, as they left the two young ones sleep on in peace.
