I have the newest chapter of "House of Pullip" ready for you, please enjoy. :D Sorry I have no additional photos or anything else to add to this post today, but I'm still a little crazy with trying to keep up with Christmas. My kids want it to get here faster...I wish I had an extra week. :P I'll make it, I just don't have time for much extra stuff. When the holidays are over and I'm back from visiting the relatives (more on that later) I'll have tons of time again for photos and other dolly stuff. Anyway, on with the story (I always make time for this)... ;)
Chapter 288: Search in Progress
*Taryn is working on the store design sketches for Kiki after work*
Taryn: Hmmm… *thinks* This might work…
*Felix enters*
Felix: Taryn?
Taryn: *looks up* Oh, hi, Felix!
Felix: What are you doing?
Taryn: Oh…I’m…nothing really.
Felix: Looks like you’re drawing. I understand if you don’t want me to see.
Taryn: Well…um…it’s okay I guess. In a way I have you to thank for this.
Felix: Huh?
Taryn: After we talked the other day I worked up the nerve to ask my boss if she’d like help redesigning the store a little. She really liked the idea so I’m doing some sketches for her.
Felix: That’s great, Taryn!
Felix: It’s funny you mentioned our conversation the other day…I was actually hoping I might see you so I could tell you what happened to me.
Taryn: Oh?
Felix: Yeah, I met a guy who lives here who also plays guitar and is really involved in music. He seemed interested in what I’ve been writing so I’ll probably show him more and see what he thinks…just like you said.
Taryn: *smiles* That’s great!
Felix: I’m just…really nervous.
Taryn: I know. I’m a little nervous, too. But I’m happy for you.
Felix: I’m happy for you, too.
Elsewhere…
Ronan: Excuse me, Miss Madison. I hate to bother you, but have you seen Miss Sabrina around anywhere?
Madison: Sabrina? Now that you mention it I haven’t seen her all day. Why?
Ronan: I’m worried about her...
Madison: *concerned* Did something happen?
Ronan: She is just upset, I wanted to reassure her.
Madison: Did you upset her?
Ronan: No! But…well…she was upset at magical people, so maybe she was upset with me…I don’t know.
Madison: She told you about that? Why would she tell you?
Ronan: She is my friend.
Madison: She is? I didn’t know that…I mean, I’ve known for a long time that she secretly wishes she was magical but she never specifically told me so…I had to figure it out myself.
Ronan: I wish there was something I could do to help her.
Madison: *surprised* You mean that, don’t you?
Ronan: Oh yes. I never knew it before but Sabrina is…well…she’s not what she wants everyone to think.
Madison: No, she’s not. Don’t take this the wrong way, Ronan, but I’m…impressed you noticed that about her.
Madison: Does it matter to you that she can’t do magic?
Ronan: She’s been my friend for quite some time now and it has never once even occurred to me to dislike her for that.
Madison: Then I suggest you tell her that so she knows.
Ronan: If I could find her I would…
Madison: Keep looking, eventually she always turns up…
To be continued...
Felix has been a tiny bit lonely so he's happy to meet someone new he can talk to and relate to.
Madison does not care much for Ronan, but she has not interacted much with the "new-and-improved" Ronan that Sabrina has been shaping...Madison didn't even know the two of them were friends. And yes...Ronan is very concerned about Sabrina, just as a good friend should be when they know someone they care about is upset. However, when Sabrina gets upset she tends to hide. :P Ronan will find her soon...
