Usual... average. That's what I hate about life in the factory. It's so... predictable. Except for today!Well, I guess I should probably explain to you what ahappened, because my guess is that the readers of my blog have NEVER BEEN TRAPPED IN A AMERICAN GIRL STORE!!!! Not that I'm upset or anything. Anyway, I woke up with a start to find a banging on my box.
"Wake up!" yelled Holly, her dark curly hair swinging as she grinned. Holly is our... alarm clock. She's loud and loves to wake people up. Especially when it involves them being grouchy. Don't ask me why.
"mmmmmmmmmmmmmup....." I muttered, blinking my eyes awake.
"What's that? I didn't quite catch what you said!" screamed my friend, winking.
"I'm up!" I yelled back, stumbling out of my box.
"Well then, McKenna Ray, you better go get dressed!"
I yawned as I hurried to the bathroom, where all the dolls were dressing happily in their outfits. I walked over to the hanger that had "MCKENNA RAY" written on it. Ray is my middle name, not my last, but all the McKenna's here are Brooks, so they go by middle names. I slipped into my dress and leggings, putting my hair in a high ponytail and applying light lipgloss to my lips.
I was turning to leave when I felt a sharp taser in my sides.
"AAAAAH!" I screamed, even though I knew it was Toulane.
"Tou-lane," I groaned, although I couldn't hide a smile.
"Ready to shine?" she asked.
"Ready!" I grinned.
Just then, a bell went and all of us dolls ran to our boxes and put on our smiles. Suddenly, the store filled with little girls, grabbing boxes and pulling our friends away. I was thinking how lucky I was to have spent so much time here, when suddenly a little sticky-fingered six year old grabbed my box and pulled it off the shelf.
"I want this one Mommy," said the girl toothlessly.
"Camilla, I don't care which one you get! Let's just pick and go!" said the woman standing next to her.
Oh no, I thought. I didn't want to be adopted by this woman and her daughter. They didn't seem very respectful.
But off we went to the checkout. The teller, Jane, scanned me through, then turned to the woman and her daughter.
"I'm very sorry," she said. "But McKenna Ray here is reserved for the Greenfield family. You'll have to pick another doll."
The woman sniffed rudely and walked away, Jane put me in the room for reserved dolls.
"Now, Kenna, you're getting shipped out tomorrow morning. I pushed it back so you would have time to say goodbye tonight to Toulane and the others. Have a great trip and Keep In Touch!" Jane said.
I was still in shock as I realized--I'm reserved! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Then tonight, I'm gonna have to say goodbye to all my best friends. My sisters, Mara and Maisey, and my dog, Cooper.
I'll probably post about my goodbyes later or tomorrow, so see ya then!
<3 McKenna
