The First Click

A sudden warm tingle pulsed down through my plush body. A muffled click bubbled up from my chest, rising into an eager, curious chirp. My face petals twitched outward on their own, catching the cool morning air. Leaning forward on my feet, I tapped the textured fibers of the carpet and nudged the folded dark cloth resting beside me. It gave a faint, delightful crinkle under my touch. I settled back against the firm edge of the sofa cushion, utterly fascinated by the miniature sounds I could produce.
