Judy Moore: A scene at a baby shower: ""You look real cute. Cobber. Now all you need is a koala bear." Almost instantly, a light engulfed Maya, and before Tony could protest he found he was holding a small, cudly live bear in his lap. The gathered group of people broke into laughter as the Maya-bear hugged Tony around the neck, clinging to him and watching him with it's big brown eyes. "Hey! Cut it out, Maya! Come on! Maya!" The light engulfed Maya again, and when she returned to her normal form, the room was filled with her giggles. Helena and John watched as Tony frowned at her, then smiled. It hadn't been all that bad."
