New Years Building 2025 – Apartment 1 – Bad Teeth Bradley
Bad Teeth Bradley sat outside on his back porch, the chilly winter air nipping at his nose. The sky was a brilliant blue, with just a few wispy clouds scattered across it. He wrapped his arms around himself, trying to ward off the cold, but his mind was elsewhere. It was almost New Year’s, and he was busy reflecting on the past year.
As he sat there, he thought about the April Fool’s Day joke he had played on his father. He had felt terrible about it afterward, but it had also taught him a valuable lesson about being kind and considerate. He smiled wryly to himself, remembering how his father had good-naturedly teased him about it for weeks afterward.
His thoughts then turned to Environment Bug, who had caught him throwing his candy wrappers on the ground. He felt a surge of pride, remembering how he had picked up all the wrappers and made a promise to himself to be more mindful of his actions. It had been a small act, but it had made a big difference.
He also thought about the time he had spent gardening with his mother. The warm sun on his face, the smell of the earth, and the joy of watching his plants grow had all combined to make it a truly special experience. It had also taught him the value of patience and hard work.
As he sat on his porch, lost in thought, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He looked up to see Hop Out and Hop In waving at him, their bright smiles and infectious energy immediately lifting his mood.
“We couldn’t help but overhear your conversation with yourself,” said Hop Out, chuckling. “It sounds to us like you’re ready to hop out of 2024 and hop into 2025!”
Bad Teeth Bradley grinned, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. “Most definitely,” he said.
Hop In nodded, a mischievous glint in his eye.
“Well, we’ve got some good news for you,” he said. “You’ve been chosen to stay at the New Year’s Building this New Year’s Eve!”
Bad Teeth Bradley’s eyes widened in amazement, and he felt a surge of pride and excitement.
“This is such an honor,” he exclaimed. “I would love to go!”
Hop Out and Hop In grinned at each other, clearly pleased with themselves.
“See you New Year’s Eve,” said Hop Out, winking.
“Most definitely,” said Bad Teeth Bradley, already counting down the hours until the big night.
As the night of New Year’s Eve approached, Bad Teeth Bradley’s excitement grew. He packed his bags, said goodbye to his family, and set off for the New Year’s Building. When he arrived, he was amazed by the sights and sounds around him. The building was a kaleidoscope of colors, with streamers and balloons everywhere. The air was filled with music and laughter, and Bad Teeth Bradley felt like he was in a dream.
As he made his way through the crowds, he was greeted by Hop Out and Hop In, who both welcomed him with a warm smile.
“We’re so glad you could join us,” Hop Out said. “We’ve got a fantastic night planned, with food, music, and dancing. And, of course, we’ll be counting down to midnight together.”
Bad Teeth Bradley’s eyes widened with excitement as he took in the sights and sounds around him. He felt like he was part of something special, something that would stay with him forever. And as the clock struck midnight, and the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, Bad Teeth Bradley knew that this was a New Year’s Eve he would never forget.
Bad Teeth Bradley left the New Year’s Building feeling happy and fulfilled, knowing that he had been given a wonderful gift – the gift of a fresh start, and a chance to make the new year even better than the last.
