Teddy smiled at her comment. He wasn't sure if she was just trying to see his powers glass as half full instead of half empty or if she was just trying to keep his spirits light by making a few very nice comments. Either way he didn't really mind it. He was glad that someone had a different way of looking at his power than he did. He often seemed to get melancholy about it because he didn't have anyone to practice it with. It didn't help that he was hardly able to explore the real talent of the Danger Room because he hadn't been old enough for a while but now that he was old enough he didn't have anyone to use it with. Maybe she would be able to help him some day.

As they continued to struggle over the ball his foot luckily, or unluckily, got a little tangled with her foot and the ball. Down Rebecca went and down Teddy went. The ball, on the other hand, rolled away and slowly came to a stop about ten feet away from them. Ted started laughing. He wasn't hurt and it didn't seem like she was either. It wasn't a bad fall, just a little tumble. No permanent damage done. "You ok?" He asked just to make sure. Teddy untangled his leg from hers and knelt in the grass, catching his breath for a second. Now that he'd stopped running he was beginning to feel a little winded.

Rebecca chuckled, brushing the dirt off her arms and shoulders. "Ah'm fine, jist got a little aggressive, huh?" Ted thankfully seemed fine as well, if not kinda worn out. She had to keep in mind that the boy was not another football nut like she was, so maybe the mild exercise would be a good place to leave off for the day.

There was a spot of dirt on Ted's cheek, so dutifully, Rebecca reached over and brushed away the spot with her hand. Giggling, she suggested, "Ah think herr's a good time tae take a break."

Rather than getting up, the girl folded her legs over Indian-style and tilted her head looking at Ted, still curious about the one thing left unseen. "Sae... can Ah maybe possibly at all... see ye change?"

Teddy couldn't agree more. He was used to exercise but running around like that was a little more than just exercise. He was more tired after that than he normally was after running.

Ted laughed when she brushed some of the dirt off his face. He couldn't agree more. This seemed like a great time to take a little break. He just nodded when she suggested it. Rebecca sounded a little hesitant to ask to see him change but he didn't mind. Teddy thought for a minute about which animal to use. He had a few to choose from but he wasn't sure if it would even matter. She sounded more curious than anything.

One came to mind. It was probably his favorite so he said, "Just so you know I can't talk while I'm changed. I have to be human to talk. But here we go. Oh and it might be a little weird to watch. Sometimes it's kinda disgusting." He focused on the animal. The changes started abruptly, like always, and his body started to sprout 'fur' everywhere. Soon his whole body was covered in brown fuzziness. Once he was all brown and furry he shrank down to about two feet tall and about three feet long.

A tail sprouted and his clothes disappeared too. His hands dissolved and turned into paws. At the same time his face changed from the boy that she was just playing soccer with to a dogs face. He was now fully beagle. Teddy splayed his paws out and gave her a smile is a sort of 'Ta-da' fashion. He didn't really know what she would do but there it was a stuffed beagle and a girl in the middle of the mansion grounds. What a weird sight.

Rebecca watched in silence, unsure of how to feel about the process of Ted becoming a stuffed animal. It was weird to see flesh give way to fuzzy fur, and it was weird to see him shrink in size. It was almost just as weird as he started changing shape, but by the time he was done, she was more impressed with how adorable he was.

This was the first time Rebecca saw something like this, so she had no idea what the proper etiquette was, but there was a good chance it did not involve picking Ted up and squeezing him in a hug, which she did. "Yoo're sae cute!"

After a moment, the girl realized what she was doing and quickly placed Ted back down. "Sorry, dogs are adorable." The embarrassment quickly passed and she was excited again. "Oh my, at some point, we need tae pull a prank on my girlfriend! Can ye jist imagine?" The idea of leaving a stuffed animal that can move in Agnes's room to freak her out sounded like an absolute riot.

If Teddy hadn't shown more people his powers, then he would have been really weirded out by Rebecca picking him up and trying to, literally, squeeze the stuffing out of him. Teddy just rolled his beady eyes as she squeezed him. Ya this seems to be the normal reaction for girls. He thought as she set him back on the ground and started apologizing. Teddy just shook his head and kept the smile. If he could make a sound she would have heard him laughing at her.

He remembered the last time he'd snuck into someones room. He'd almost gotten killed. That person wasn't really to happy with having him around because she thought he was snooping around and spying on her. He remembered that incident and decided that it might not be the smartest idea unless this person had a sense of humor. Teddy quickly changed back. The reformation of the boy looked just as bizarre as the changing into the animal. First he grew, then his features returned to boy form. Finally the rest of his body caught up with him and the fur dissolved and he was just the normal, well not really normal, Teddy sitting in front of Rebecca. The whole process only took a little less than a minute and he said, "Well, as long as the person doesn't try to kill me I'd be ok with helping you pull the prank." He didn't know the person that Rebecca was talking about but if she was suggesting it then this person hopefully had a good sense of humor.

The change took some energy out of him and he was feeling pretty tired now. He struggled to stifle a yawn and said, "I'm guessing you liked the little trick huh?" Obviously he didn't need to ask her since she tried to strangle him when he was done changing but he figured he'd poke fun at her just a little.

Teddy had an odd stipulation about her prank, which she simply tried to laugh off. "Oh, Ah'm sure Agnes wouldnae try..." The more she thought about it, the easier it became to picture Agnes beating the stuffing out of a talking stuffed animal. "On second thought, Ah'll git back tae ye..." Better safe than sorry.

With him back as a human (er, mutant,) it was weird to think that he was a stuffed puppy a moment ago. "Yeah! Ye also made a good choice; puppies are adorable."

She would not call him it out loud for the sake of his manly dignity, but the boy himself was pretty adorable. A little shorter than her and scrawny, but definitely adorable. "Yoo're a real nice boy, Ted," she complimented with a grin.

Teddy became a little nervous when she mentioned that she'd have to check to make sure that he wasn't going to get killed by impersonating a stuffed animal in someones room. It wouldn't be the first time but suffice it to say that he couldn't really fight anyone when he's a cute beagle stuffed animal. Teddy then laughed at her. "Ya I figured you'd like it. Most people seem to have the same reaction as you did." He admitted.

It definitely wasn't the first time that he'd been picked up and squeezed like that and he was sure it wouldn't be the last either. "Umm. Thanks." Teddy said now throughly uncomfortable when she said he was a nice boy. It was more something that he didn't expect her to say. "Hey you want go get a drink inside?" The temperature had gotten noticably warmer since they'd been playing and the changing had taken energy out of him and he was actually pretty hungry now too. Teddy got up and picked up the ball and waited for her response.
