Sue was the happiest, little girl in the world. 
 
 Everywhere she looked there was brightness. Sometimes, there would be little blue flies dancing in the air around her. Maybe a green bug would squish it's way up to her feet as if to say,'Hello Sue!' 
 
 She would dip her hands in these beautiful pots of happiness and spread them around her world. Her hands would glide in the air, spreading wonderful rainbows full of glee. She would flick her coloured fingers and raindrops would fall, cheering up the world around her. 
 
 Of course, Sue was not alone when it came to spreading joy. Beside her was `` Mr Smile,'' her oldest pal of all. Mr Smile was an older teddy-bear gentleman, who liked nothing more than to turn something drab into something fab. Sometimes Sue would leave Mr Smile to brighten this world himself and she would find him dipping into these natural pools of smiles. His teddy-bear body would sink into it, like a silly fish, and then burst into the sky to fly like a soaring eagle. 
 
 `` Fly, Mr Smile,'' Sue would shout, `` Fly as high as your dreams.'' Just as Sue would finish her shout, Mr Smile would dip back down to the ground, leaving a golden trail behind him. Just as he was about to crash into a beautiful disaster, his wings would spread and he would return to the colourful heavens above. For Sue and Mr Smile, there were no pearly gates but instead, open fields of bouncing blues, glittering greens and ritzy reds. 
 
 Though, Mr Smile was not a selfish little bear and he would bring himself back to Sue. Their hands would meet and they would begin to spin, sending more joy and positivity than the world could ever expect to get. Sometimes, they would dance slowly and ripples of mellow yellow would slip out. Other times, they would bounce with jolts of purple and pink zooming here and there. Of course, they would dance and sing and spread the colour before the darkness fell outside of their world. In fact, this time they had not even noticed the Sun go down over there. 
 
 Suddenly, a door full of red splashes and yellow smiles crashed open. Darkness lay behind it but soon, it seeped its poison into the beautiful room. A bear much bigger than Mr Smile lumbered in, wearing human clothes and carrying a leathery briefcase. But this bear was nothing like Mr Smile. Sue knew that all too well. 
 
 A thick paw struck her across the face, darkness immediately descending into the once bright world. Muddled screams were heard as the large bear screamed at Mr Smile and what he had done to this room. Though, Sue tried not to open her eyes, for she knew the world would be dark again. 
 
 Minutes later, she lay alone in the blackness of her world. The steel grey briefcase lay in the middle, a sole reminder of the cold-hearted conqueror who would rule until the Sun came up again. She drew a blanket across her. Earlier, it was covered by beautiful liquids with a cool touch but not it was soaked through. No colour but still warm. 
 
 She tilted her head up, a shiver of pain biting on her neck. Her eyes met with Mr Smile as he lay unconscious against one of the paint pots. Sue's bloody lips twitched a little. `` That's what I love about you,'' Sue whispered to her sleepy friend. `` You always keep a smile.''
