It was dark. Almost 9:00. But there we were, driving to the airport to pick up a special someone or a special group of someones. Kirsten stopped the taxi driver and handed him his tip - 40 bucks! - and Kit got up out of the car to escort me inside the airport.
"What the heck is going on?" I giggled.
"Weeee cann'tt teeeell youuuu!" Felicity taunted.
The gang of giggling girls were making their way to the Arrivals section. I was looking around, soaking it all in. I still didn't know why we were here, but I didn't care. It was still fun!
Kirsten gave the cue to a doll with dark hair and brown eyes who stood in the corner of the Arrivals section, and the dark-haired mystery doll waved over a bunch of huddled dolls. Elizabeth squealed. Felicity hooted and pumped her arms in the air. There they were!
"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" I turned around to face Kirsten.
Kirsten just gave her a timid smile then pushed in front of Erin to greet the mystery dollie.
"Hi., Samantha." Kirsten waved a little wave.
"Hello, Kirsten! Here we are!" Samantha waved back.
Kirsten led the group of dolls to the entrance to the airport, and then loaded them in separate taxis. All the while during the walk to the entrance the group of dolls looked like they were huddled around something important, something we were not allowed to see. I attempted to push into the huddle so I could see, but a girl with blue eyes and platinum blond hair pushed me back out, after sizing me up. I fidgeted and ran back to Kirsten.
"Who are they?" I muttered to Kirsten so they couldn't hear me.
"I can't say but.. they're not bad people." Kirsten giggled.
We got in our own taxi and drove away, while the dolls in the other taxis followed. It was creepy!! The whole way home, I could feel the brown eyes of the dark haired Samantha doll looking at me, looking up and down, sizing me up. They all seemed to be sizing me up. Ahhh!
Then we got home and I ran straight up to my room - I'd had enough. But Julia just called me back down. I sighed and trudged down the stairs, only to see a red haired girl being guided into the kitchen with a blind fold. I screamed.
"GRACIE!"
P.S. Sonali and Elizabeth's view on the story will be posted LATER!
