Metabees18

Little Bee woke with a start, throwing his hands defensively over his face.  When nothing came into contact with them, he turned his head to look around.  The figure was lying on the bedside stand.  It had only been a dream.  Relieved, he lowered his palms to the surface of the stand in order to push himself up.  As he rose, however, the small figure failed to find balance and toppled over.

Thinking that he had simply tried to get up too quickly after waking, Little Bee waiting a moment before trying again, but with the same result.  Frustrated, he sat on his rear, trying to stomp the tabletop with his foot.  This proved to be difficult; his right foot was missing.  Panicked, the yellow beetle crawled around on his hands and knees in hopes of finding the absent part.  It became obvious that the piece was not on the stand, but the small one was unable to go any further without it.  

Big Bee and Saikachis noticed the activity from their sitting positions on the desk.  Together the two models swiftly leaped their way over to try and calm their smaller counterpart.  The smallest Metabee pointed frantically to the space where the limb's end should be.  The new model bent down in order to take a look.  There appeared to be a clean break.  Somehow, the poor small one had managed to get damanged.  

Hoping to relieve Little Bee's distress, Big Bee dove onto the bed in order to find the broken foot.  When he could not find it there, the model slid down to the floor.  He searched tirelessly until he found it wedged between the back end of the night stand and the wall.  Though it took great effort to retrieve, the action was worth it.  Carefully Big Bee climbed back to the top of the stand, where Saikachis knelt, still attempting to console the fretting figure.

Thinking quickly, the bigger Metabee took the red collar with bell still attached, and looped it around the figure's leg with the broken piece.  It held together loosely, and not at all well enough to stand upon, but it was enough to satisfy Little Bee for the time being.  Saikachis gave a thumbs up to the other model, then pointed at the caretaker's empty chair.  When she returned, the young woman would be able to provide a more solid patch job.  Delighted at feeling almost whole again, the small Metabee figure reached his arms up and pulled Big Bee down into a warm hug, which the other decided to return.
