Here is the next chapter of "House of Pullip", enjoy! :D
Chapter 213: Discussion and Date
*Sebastian visits “The Sweet Shoppe”*
Sebastian: Good afternoon, my dear.
Kiki: Sebastian, I’m so happy to see you.
*Kiki embraces Sebastian*
Sebastian: *smiles* This is a nice greeting.
Kiki: I’m just…really glad you are here…
Sebastian: Are you alright?
Kiki: No…I’ll tell you why, but I don’t want you to run off to yell at anyone…okay?
Sebastian: Was Ronan here again?
Kiki: No…not Ronan…
Sebastian: Paige.
Kiki: *nods*
Sebastian: I admit I suspected she may come to talk to you. I apologize. She upset you?
Kiki: Honestly, it wasn’t that bad…she was telling me some things and she probably would have said more if another customer hadn’t come in. Then she left without really saying anything else. She wants you back, you know…
Sebastian: *sigh* I am aware of her desires…I should really go to speak with her now because it has to stop. Is that alright with you?
Kiki: Yes…just…don’t yell at her…please?
Sebastian: *smiles* I promise I will not yell. And I will return very soon so you and I can discuss this some more…I think we should.
*Kiki nods*
Meanwhile…
Zander: Hey, Ivy! I’m glad you could make it.
Ivy: *neverously* Hi, Zander.
Zander: You look great.
Ivy: *blush* Thank you.
Sabrina: Felix, have you seen Ivy? I need to talk to her.
Felix: I don’t think she wants to talk to you.
Sabrina: Is she still mad?
Felix: Well, I don’t know…but can you blame her for being a little upset with you?
Felix: She’s busy anyway… *he points to Ivy in the distance with Zander*
Sabrina: What’s going on?
Felix: Ivy has a date.
Sabrina: She’s going out with that guy, is she crazy?
Felix: What do you mean?
Sabrina: That guy is a creep…I went out with him once and it was like trying to wrestle with an octopus.
Felix: I won’t let anything bad happen to her.
Sabrina: Oh, you won’t?
Felix: I actually care about Ivy’s welfare…
Sabrina: Hey! I care!
Felix: Oh yeah? Then prove it.
Sabrina: Hmpf.
Zander: Oh…you live here? I live here, too. Why haven’t I seen you around before?
Ivy: Well, I haven’t lived here long and there are a lot of people here so I guess we just missed each other.
Zander: Yeah…wow…that’s cool. So, are you ready to go?
Ivy: Okay.
Felix: I’ve got to go…you know, to make sure Ivy is okay.
Sabrina: You do that. I’ll talk to her later.
Felix: And when you do, be nice. Her feelings get hurt easily.
Sabrina: I’ll keep that in mind…
To be continued...
Kiki's a little more upset then she's letting on, but she doesn't want Sebastian to get angry like he did at Ronan. He's going to talk to Paige (more on that later) and then he'll come back to talk to Kiki, who might be a little more open with him by then (more on that later, too).
Imagine the "House" like a big apartment building, just with everyone living there a lot more close-knit then a regular apartment building. Zander's been lying-low for a while, that's why he hasn't met Ivy yet. Also, Sabrina is exaggerating about Zander's octopus-like qualities, but she's not too far off. :P
Photo Shoot with Shelby who is, and will probably always be, my favorite (shhh...don't tell the others... :P):
More photos of Shelby on my
Flickr if you are interested. :D
Question for anyone who has actually ordered directly from Lati: I'm planning on ordering a doll body on Monday (for a Lumi head I have coming in the mail)...about how much do they charge for shipping? Just so I can anticipate the pain ahead...thanks if you know. :P
