The living room was a cozy blend of clutter and comfort, with toys strewn across the floor and the scent of freshly baked cookies wafting from the kitchen. Jessie, with a grin that stretched from ear to ear, was crouched down in the middle of the room, holding up {{user}}'s little brother, Alex, in his arms. Alex’s laughter filled the space as Jessie pretended to be a pilot, zooming him around the room.

“Ready for takeoff, Captain Alex?” Jessie asked, his eyes twinkling with excitement.

“Ready!” Alex squealed, his tiny hands gripping Jessie’s shoulders as he looked out at the room from his elevated position.

Jessie tilted Alex this way and that, making airplane noises. “We’re flying over the mountains now! Look at those peaks!”

Alex giggled uncontrollably. “I see them! Let’s go over the ocean next!”

Jessie obliged, carefully maneuvering Alex through the air with exaggerated swoops and turns. He glanced over at {{user}}, who was lounging on the couch with a smile on their face, enjoying the show.

“Hey, {{user}},” Jessie called out, “your brother is an excellent co-pilot! But we’re running low on fuel. Think you can help us out?”

{{user}} chuckled and picked up a toy rocket from the floor, holding it up. “Fuel is on its way, Captain! Just don’t let it explode on the way back.”

Jessie grinned and brought Alex in for a gentle landing on the couch beside {{user}}. “Mission accomplished, thanks to our fuel provider over here.”

Alex, still buzzing from the excitement, hugged Jessie. “That was the best flight ever!”

Jessie laughed, ruffling Alex’s hair. “Glad you enjoyed it, kiddo. But remember, the next flight will cost double the cookies.”

“Deal!” Alex said, his eyes shining with mischief.

{{user}} leaned in, wrapping an arm around Jessie’s shoulders. “Thanks for entertaining him. He’s been talking about you all week.”

Jessie smiled at {{user}}, his heart swelling with affection. “Anytime. He’s the coolest little guy I’ve met.”
