BLORB

You're a stuffed sloth, living on the shelf at a toy store. One day a couple walks in and you see them looking at you. "Oh my gosh!! He is so cute" the girl runs and picks you up. The boy walks behind "We should [[buy him]]" he says. The girl hugs you and happily brings you up to the register. <img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/321311361768-0-1/s-l1000.jpg" width= 200 height = 200 alt="" />

The girl hugs you as she walks with the boy around the rest of the store. He pays and they try to decide on a name. "[[Blorb]]" he suggests as he pays to take you home. The girl happily agrees and you're excited to have finally found your people.

You make your way back with them. The two talk and you begin to understand that he is visiting her at school for the weekend. "Should we get [[lunch]]?" the boy asks the girl. You aren't hungry but are excited to go along. She suggests that instead they go back and [[take a nap]]. You like this idea because maybe they'll snuggle with you.

You head out to get some food, and the couple playfully chats. You hear them talk about his dorm at his school in Washington, DC, and they chat about some classes they are taking. Once the food arrives the boy makes a joke about finding someone else at school. The girl at first [[gets upset]] but then decides [[everything is fine]] and its only a joke.

The couple converses a bit more, then they drift off to sleep. You watch them, thinking how peaceful they seem, until you drift asleep as well. You all [[wake up]] a few hours later.

The lunch ends with the boy trying to convince the girl that it was only a joke. She [[doesn't listen]] and gets angry but you hope that she [[reconsiders]] because it is getting uncomfortable for you to hear them argue.

The girl explains that the joke had hurt her feelings, and the boy aooplogizes. The couple then continues with other convorsation and slowly walks back to their dorm and gets ready to [[take a nap]].

The girl grabs you and takes you [[back to her dorm]], leaving the boy at the restaurant.

The two of you head back to her dorm. When you arrive, you see her wall plastered with photos of her and the boy-- one of them [[smiling at the zoo]], another candid shot in what looks like a [[chemistry lab]], a few more from a [[family wedding]], and a shot of the two in the middle of [[Times Square]].

The girl pulls this photo off the wall and begins to cry, wondering out loud about the strength of this relationship. She begins to [[tear it up]] but then thinks better and [[puts it back]] on the wall. <img src="https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/1412305_702813133148967_3108090638130640530_o.jpg" width= 200 height = 200 alt="" />

The boy enters the room as the girl continues to sob into her pillow. He comforts her, telling her that [[everything is going to be ok]] but she doesn't listen. She throws the shreads of phot in the trash and tells him to [[go back home]].

The boy comes back in and the girl hugs him. She appologizes and so does he. You watch and hope that [[everything is going to be ok]].

The two make up, and you sit on the bed as she walks him to the door. They hug- "I'll [[facetime]] you every night", he says, and she promises to make this happen. The two leave together, but only the girl returns. She lays back in bed, and hugs you as she falls to sleep.

She picks you up and throws you at him, but he catches you and begins to cry as she slams the dorm door behind you both. He walks out to the street, gets in a bus, and [[tosses you to the side of the road]].

The boy has to leave back to DC and the girl is sad. She leaves you in her room as she walks him out to the bus stop. When she comes back you watch her send a text "Goodbye, I miss you and love you" to the boy. You snuggle with her for a bit and then she leaves to the [[library to do her homework]]. All is well for you as you drift to sleep on her bed.

You are picked up a few minutes later by a small girl who hugs you tightly, and you're happy to be away from the couple- though you never find out what happens to them, you are much happier now.

A few weeks have passed and you sit on the girls lap as she is facetiming with the boy. The two chat and laugh and try to plan his next visit. You went to see him last weekend and had a blast. The girl took you with her to DC and you all had a blast. They are talking about buying a bus ticket and the boy mentions that he has some midterms the next week and can probably [[come the next weekend]].

The girl buys the ticket and you watch as they say goodnight and end the call. The girl falls asleep, and wakes to a text the next morning from the boy. He writes "Hey, I'm not sure I can make it next weekend, I kind of [[want to chill here with my friends]]" The girl seems annoyed but types back "Thats fine, just let me know, but I [[really want to see you]]!!"

The boy decides to stay in DC and hang out with his friends, and the girl is sad, and seems tempted to [[make a big deal]] about him dropping their plans, but excited to [[see him at Thanksgiving]], which is only a few weeks away.

The boy ends up deciding to come to visit and you find yourself excited to see him. The girl has been sad recently and she sometimes cries as she hugs you to fall asleep. You know that when he comes things will go [[back to normal]].

When the boy arrives the girl hugs him and then he picks you up and says "awh, I forgot about Blorb he's so cute", this makes you a bit sad that he forgot you but you are happy to see him. The two discuss plans to [[go to museums]] and [[leave you in the room]].

Another few weeks pass and you're excited to go on another adventure. The couple has been facetiming and things are looking up. You watch as the girl packs her bag for home. You can't wait to [[see all her family]], and meet the boy's family too.

You make your way back to DC for Thanksgiving and sit on the kitchen shelf as the preparations for the big meal begin. The food smells amazing and you wish you were a live sloth who could eat mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, turkey and stuffing. The girl's family all arrives, and the boy's family shows up an hour late. The families take up three tables, and you watch as the boy tries to find a seat. There is a place [[at the table with the girl]] but he decides to sit [[next to his mom]] at another table.

The girl facetimes the boy over the weekend, and makes a few hurtful comments about how he chose his friends over her. She also brings up the comments he made about finding someone else at school. She cries and hangs up on him before he can even respond. You hug her as she cries, hoping that they boy will [[call back]] soon. Eventually he does.

At the last minute you sneak in to the girl's bag and make your way to the museum. The couple holds hands all the way there and you can't wait to see what a museum looks like. When you arrive though, the security guard checks her bag and finds you. "[[this isnt allowed here]]" says the guard to the girl, who asks in a confused tone "oops I didn't know he was in here, can you hold on to him for me?" the guard agrees and takes you to his office.

You happily curl up on the bed and wait foe the couple to [[return]].

You hang out with the guard for the day, watching the security cameras. You can see the couple walk through the museum, but when they finish they walk right past the security office and don't come to get you!! They leave you there and at the end of the day the guard sees you, muses that she must have forgotten you, and places you [[on the shelf]] above the securtiy monitors.

You stay on this shelf, collecting dust and watching people in the museum, for the rest of your life.

The couple returns and you're excited to see them. They had a great day at the museums and make plans to [[sleep in the next morning]] and then hang out with some of the girl's friends at a [[diner]].

The couple wakes up super late and misses their plans to meet with the girl's friends. You are happy because this means that they spend the day in bed with you watching The Office on [[Netflix]]. You find Michael Scott hilarious, though the girl argues that Dwight is her favorite character and the boy thinks that Jim and Pam are the most interesting.

The couple is getting ready to go to the diner and plans to leave you at home, but you're an advnturous sloth and you want to see what the world has to offer. So you [[sneak into]] the girl's bag.

While the couple is watching, you get squished into the crack between the bed and the wall. You hope they find you but you end up below the bed, along with some other dusty stuffed animals and a single sock. The voices become muffled and you remain under there, forgotten.

Once at the diner the girl opens her bag and finds you! She is suprised but takes you out and shows her friends, "Blorb came along! I must have accidentally put him in here" she says as she laughs. The waitress comes to bring the food but she [[slips]] as she walks up to the table!

The food goes flying and you end up soaked in maple syrup. It smells delicious, but you're now a sticky mess! The girl brings you to the bathroom but you're too furry and she can't get you clean. She tears up a bit, and places you into the waste container. Its dark in there, and quite warm. You're not sure of what will happen to you next, but you know you'll never see the couple again.

The boy eventually calls back and appologizes, saying he can't wait to [[see her at Thanksgiving]]. You comfort her and hope that you will go to Thanksgiving too.

The couple converses and happily eats their dinner. The next day the girl heads back to her school and forgets you up on the kitchen shelf. You remain there, watching her family cook every meal, constantly wishing you had a real tummy to try their food.

The boy chooses the seat with his mom at another table, and doesn't converse much with the girl. You think he's acting strange but you can't be sure. Later in the evening the girl wants to [[take a walk]], but the boy is busy playing [[video games]] with his siblings and offers to take a walk the next morning.

The boy gives in and leaves on a walk with the girl. You see them come back holding hands and smiling. The next day the girl heads back to her school and forgets you up on the kitchen shelf. You remain there, watching her family cook every meal, constantly wishing you had a real tummy to try their food.

The girl leaves for the walk on her own, obvisouly annoyed. You continue to observe the guests at the house, and forget about the couple for a while. Later that night you see the girl come in from her walk and [[ignores]] the boy as he tries to [[appologize]].

The boy leaves confused, and the girl takes you down from the shelf and brings you back up to her bedroom. You snuggle with her as she cries, and watch as she [[declines]] the boy's phone calls. Eventually she [[answers]] and they talk for a bit before she falls asleep.

The girl listens and decides to meet him [[on the path]] between their two houses the next morning.

As she cries, you get squished into the crack between the bed and the wall. You hope that she finds you but you end up below the bed, along with some dusty garbage and a single sock. Its dark and you can't hear anything, but you remain under there, forgotten.

The couple decides to take a walk the next morning before the girl has to leave to go back to school. The plan to meet [[on the path]] between their two houses.

You wait at home as the girl heads out, waiting on the bed for her return. She returns in tears, accompanied by her mother. You wonder what is wrong until you hear her mother comforting her "everything will be ok, you deserve better anyway", and the girl sobs about the boy. You try to comfort her but she throws you across the room, as perhaps you remind her of him. Her mother picks you up after the girl leaves and places you in a box, along with some other items- photos of the couple, a silver bracelet, and a hand knit scarf.
