Always and Forever

A group of stuffed animals, consisting of a fox, a leopard, a sea turtle, a bear, a goat, and a dragon, wait for their girl to come home so she can play with them.  Turtle:  She should be home by now.  Is something wrong?  Bear:  Relax.  Emily's probably just running a little late.  It's happened before.  Leopard:  Besides, she promised that she'd play with us after she got back.  Fox:  I hear her!  All:  Emily!!!  An adult woman enters the room, tosses down her things, and picks up and hugs one of the plushies.  Emily:  You wouldn't believe the day I had at work.  Too bad you can't sell customers manners, huh?  But it's the weekend, so who's up for a few rounds of Sugar Smash Derby?  The toys cheer.  The final panel shows Emily in casual clothes and eating cold cereal while playing against one of the toys in a video game, while the rest cuddle around her.

 Some friends you can count on always being there.
