I didn't have enough time yesterday to get this new chapter of "House of Pullip" yesterday, so here it is today. Hope you enjoy it. :D
Chapter 405: No Pressure
*Grace and Wolfgang are meeting for their date*
Grace: Thanks for coming.
Wolfgang: Thanks for asking me.
Wolfgang: *handing Grace a flower* This is for you.
Grace: Oh, how pretty! Thank you.
Wolfgang: You’re welcome.
Grace: You didn’t have to get me anything.
Wolfgang: I know…I just…well, it seemed like the right thing to do. Why, is it wrong?
Grace: No, I like getting flowers.
*Wolfgang fidgets his hands nervously*
Grace: Is something wrong?
Wolfgang: I’m just…nervous.
Grace: I don’t bite.
Wolfgang: *nervous laugh* It’s not you…but you should probably know…just so you know what you’re getting yourself into…I haven’t been out on a date since my wife died.
Grace: *smiles kindly* That’s okay, you have to start sometime, right?
Wolfgang: Yes.
Grace: There’s no pressure, we can just go and talk and have a nice time.
Wolfgang: *relaxing a little* It does sound nice.
Grace: Shall we go then?
*Wolfgang nods*
Elsewhere…
*Alex is mumbling to himself*
Alex: I can’t believe I’m meeting a girl in a chat room…but whatever…
*He logs in*
*Mr.Dude317 enters the room*
ShopGirl2: Hello.
Mr.Dude317: You’re here already.
ShopGirl2: Yep, thanks for meeting me.
Mr.Dude317: No problem. But why did you want to meet me?
Mr.Dude317: I mean my profile was dumb.
ShopGirl2: LOL, it wasn’t dumb, I was just intrigued.
ShopGirl2: You didn’t give your real name and you didn’t make yourself sound like you were macho cool like pretty much all the other guys do.
Mr.Dude317: Oh.
ShopGirl2: And…u dont rite liek this cuz u tink its 2 kewl
ShopGirl2: Because that’s a turn off to me.
Mr.Dude317: I don’t even know how to write like that.
ShopGirl2: Good. Don’t bother, it’s dumb.
Mr.Dude317: You don’t use your real name either…
ShopGirl2: Touché. I’m just playing it safe.
Mr.Dude317: Same here.
Mr.Dude317: I’m not sure about meeting people this way.
ShopGirl2: We can just talk. I’m cool with that.
Mr.Dude317: What do you want to talk about?
ShopGirl2: Anything. Everything.
ShopGirl2: Ask me questions, I’ll just let you know if I don’t want to answer. You can do the same if you want.
Mr. Dude317: Okay.
Later That Night…
*Grace and Wolfgang are walking home, and talking*
Grace: Wait a minute…how old were you when you graduated high school then?
Wolfgang: Um…younger then average…
Grace: You can tell me.
Wolfgang: I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging…because I’m not. To me it was normal.
Grace: You can tell me, I won’t think you are being proud.
Wolfgang: I was 12.
Grace: Really?
Wolfgang: *embarrassed* Yes.
Grace: First, you should be proud. That’s quite an achievement. Second, this explains why Bailey is so smart. I mean, I knew you were smart, but I didn’t know you were that smart.
*Wolfgang blushes*
Grace: Speaking of Bailey, where is she tonight?
Wolfgang: Shiloh and Hawk are watching her for me. She likes to play with Piper.
Grace: Are you good friends with them?
Wolfgang: Oh yes. They always help me with Bailey. Bailey calls them her aunt and uncle even though we aren’t related. We might as well be, they are as close to us as any family.
Grace: *smiles* That’s nice, they are a nice family…and good for Bailey, too.
*Wolfgang nods*
Grace: I should let you go. I don’t want to keep you from Bailey for too long.
Wolfgang: Alright.
Wolfgang: Thank you. I did have fun.
Grace: I’m glad to hear it. It was a nice night. Thank you for coming.
*They smile at each other*
Grace: Good night. See you on Monday.
Wolfgang: Bye…good night.
Grace: *smiling* He is a nice man…
Meanwhile…
*Still chatting*
Mr.Dude317: So you are looking for a job?
ShopGirl2: Yeah. I finished school so I could get a good job.
ShopGirl2: But I can’t even find a job.
ShopGirl2: Figures.
Mr.Dude317: I wish I could help.
ShopGirl2: That’s nice of you, but I’ll figure it out.
ShopGirl2: I just need to keep looking.
Mr.Dude317: Good luck.
ShopGirl2: Thanks!
ShopGirl2: This has been fun, but it’s late. We should probably call it a night.
Mr.Dude317: How long have we been talking?
ShopGirl2: Just 3 hours.
Mr.Dude317: 3 hours?!?
Mr.Dude317: It didn’t seem that long.
Mr.Dude317: I was having too much fun to notice.
ShopGirl2: I’m glad. :)
ShopGirl2: I’d like to chat again.
ShopGirl2: If you want…
Mr.Dude317: I do want to.
Mr.Dude317: You’re fun to talk to.
ShopGirl2: Next Saturday then? Same time?
Mr.Dude317: Sound good!
ShopGirl2: Until then…bye for now.
Mr.Dude317: Bye!
*Alex logs out and shuts his laptop*
Alex: That was a lot more fun then I was expecting… *smiles*
To be continued...
I hope the chat room conversations aren't too confusing, but I can't really make terribly interesting photos to go with those parts. Also, sorry if the chat room conversations don't sound authentic, it's been several years since I've spent any time talking in a chat room...but I never did use internet speak or texting language because it's too confusing for me. :P
In the bit with Grace and Wolfgang, romance wasn't my goal. I just wanted to show that they were able to go out together and have a nice time without too much awkwardness. They both did enjoy it, we'll see if anything else happens. ;)
I went on a bit of a shopping spree last week with the rest of my birthday cash of some of my store profits. Mostly I got various doll clothes. But I did purchase a new doll. One I've been contemplating for a while. I'm still not sure about it so we'll just see. I won't say which doll I got, it'll be a little bit of a surprise. :P However, in order to make room for this new doll I decided I'm going to sell one out of my collection so I will be putting one up for sale in a few weeks or so.

A lovely black and white photos I took of Avery (Dita) last week. She's having a little day dream... :D
