Scoutlova Dances for Spencer's Mummy

SCOUT: "Is everything ready, Daddy?"

 

DADDY: "Yes Scout. I have strung the garlands and put flowers on the ground for you."

 

SCOUT: "Good. Ahem," *Clears throat.* "And whilst I am wearing my tutu, please remember that I am the Great Scoutlova, thank you!" *Preens.*

 

DADDY: "Oh, beg your pardon, Scoutlova!"

 

SCOUT: "That's alright Daddy" *Cuddles Dolly.* "Now Dolly, only I can dance in this show, so you can sit here and watch me. Alright?" *Cuddles Dolly tightly again before putting her down.*

 

DADDY: "Ready, Scoutlova?"

 

SCOUT: *Thinks.* "Daddy? Daddy?"

 

DADDY: "Yes Scout?"

 

SCOUT: "Ahem!" *Looks sharply at Daddy.*

 

DADDY: "Err, I mean, Scoutlova. What is it?"

 

SCOUT: "Daddy, are Spencer and his Mummy watching?"

 

DADDY: "Oh yes Scoutlova, I have told them, and all your other bear friends too. I'm quite sure that your best friend Peter, Oleg, Benny, Marty/Mary, Fuzzy, Heino, Danbo and Mummy Marian will be watching too!"

 

SCOUT: "Very good Daddy! Then we may begin."

 

DADDY: "Very good, Scoutlova."

 

DADDY: *Stands to the side of the stage and addresses audience.* "And now, direct from London\'s Palladium Theatre, after a successful sell-out season, we are proud to present," *Pauses for impact. "The Great Scoutlova, who will be performing 'The Dance of the Sugar Plum Bear', a dance he has created especially for his friend Spencer's Mummy, to make her smile whilst her foot... err her paw, recovers after surgery!"

 

Scout is very good friends with a little bear named Spencer who lives in France, near the border of Spain. Spencer lives with his Mummy (FinouCat) and a cat named Pixie. Spencer\'s Mummy loves dancing, but recently she hurt her ankle and had to have surgery done, which means that she cannot dance at present. Dancing is so very important for her well being, and she loves it so much that she is sad that she cannot dance at present. Spencer has been cheering her up by putting on his pink tutu and dancing for her.

Being a good and caring little bear, Scout too wants to cheer Spencer\'s Mummy up by dancing a dance especially for her. I applaud him for this, and both Scout and I hope that Spencer and his Mummy smile as a result of Scout... er I mean the Great Scoutlova\'s performance.

 

Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
