Here's the new chapter of "House of Pullip", please enjoy. :D
Chapter 436: Broken Bonds
*Sabrina is outside walking around when she runs into Reilly again*
Sabrina: Oh…it’s you.
Reilly: Hello, Miss Sabrina.
Sabrina: Don’t call me “Miss”.
Reilly: But my Daddy says it’s polite.
Sabrina: *snorts* Yes…Ronan thinks proper manners are very important.
*Reilly nods*
Sabrina: Just call me Sabrina.
Reilly: But-
Sabrina: I know what Ronan told you…but it’s okay. Sabrina will do just fine.
*Reilly looks worried*
Sabrina: I’ll tell you what; we won’t tell Ronan…it’ll just be our little secret that you call me just Sabrina. Okay?
*Reilly smiles and nods*
Sabrina: That’s the ticket. By the way, are you waiting for Ronan?
Reilly: Yes.
Sabrina: Well then, I’m going to get going. See you later, kid.
Reilly: Sabrina?
Sabrina: Yes?
Reilly: You’re very pretty.
Sabrina: Oh…wow…thanks, kid. You’re pretty cute, too.
*Reilly smiles*
*As Sabrina walks away, she can’t help smiling*
Elsewhere…
Toby: I don’t know, Shelby…maybe this wasn’t the best idea. Phoebe hasn’t done anything but mope around since she got here.
Shelby: We need to be patient. This hasn’t been easy for her. Give her time.
Shelby: Plus she’s at that age. For girls it can be a very trying time.
Toby: You’re probably right, but Phoebe won’t even talk to me. I feel like such a failure as a brother.
Shelby: Oh…I had no idea you felt that way. I’m so sorry!
Toby: I don’t know what to do.
Shelby: Why don’t you let me take some time with her…you know, just us girls? Maybe I can find out some things and then we can work together to find a way to help her feel more at home here.
Toby: She does seem to respond to you better then she does to me…
Shelby: If she does, it’s probably just because I’m female. It’s nothing against you, I’m sure.
Toby: *nods* Alright, I think that’s a good idea. I just want to see her happier, that’s all.
Shelby: Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out.
To be continued...
It was only a matter of time until Reilly worked a bit of her magic on Sabrina. :P Now if Sabrina will just give poor Ronan another chance...well, we'll see.
More with Shelby and Phoebe in the next chapter...
Bonus Photo:
Phoebe in a new dress just for Dal that I made last night. I think I might make a few more of these in the same style and list them in my store just to see if there is any interest in this kind of thing. It can't hurt, right? ;)
