Decorating For Christmas

"Just a little bit higher!" I called from on top of my BFFs shoulders. I was putting the angel on top of the Christmas tree.
"Ughhh!" They all groaned, lifting me up higher.
"Almost......there!" I said, reaching out my hand trying to reach the top branch. "Aaaand....GOT IT!"
"Ahhh!" They all relaxed and I immediately fell to the floor. Luckily, I landed on my feet.
"Wow! Soooooomebody should work out!" I joked.
"Hey!" Gwen replied.
Ivy laughed. The others joined her. (Oh! Did I mention she's nice now? Yep! One of my new BFFS! :D)
"Well, let's turn on the lights and assess our finished project!" Jessica said.
"YAAAA!" Kiya agreed, quickly going over and plugging it in.
The tree lit up. Every branch glittered with ornaments, garlands, and twinking lights.
We oooohed and aaaaaaaaaahed for a minute, admiring the beautiful tree.
"I. LOVE IT!" I shouted. The others joined in with their "oh yes."
"Oh, tis lovely. I wish Lissie were here," Beth said, quieting down on the last sentence.
"We all do, Beth. But hey! At least she's with Molly now!" I pointed out. We still can't believe that piece of luck.
"You're right. Tis very lucky, isn't it?" She said, cheering up a bit.
"Yes, it really is," Gwen agreed.
"Lissie sure deserves best!" Sarah put in. We all agreed.
We were quiet for a minute, thinking of old times.
"Ok then, let's put up some nativities!" I suggested.
"Ya! Great idea!" Everyone replied.
So we did just that, putting up a collection of about 25. At the end, we stood back and admired the room.
"Wow, sure is beautiful," Ivy sighed.
"Yes, it is." Gwen agreed. We all nodded.
"Just perfect for the perfect Christmas!" I said. Everyone agreed.
Yes. The perfect Christmas!

Love ya!

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! I haven't posted on this thing in like FIVE YEARS! I am sooo sorry! We had computers taken away from us thanks to Melissa and Her Crew being their normal, stupid selves. Now, I snuck one back though. So post I will!

Well....not much has happened unusual. Melissa and Her Crew are as nasty as usual and me and my BFFs avoid them and have fun in our lives :D

Ok, I will do another post again as a story. Love you all, darlings! :D

Love ya!
~Annie

FREEDOM!

"YOU'RE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kiya yelled at Beth. Beth giggled.
Wait? We're running around? Yelling? Laughing? Freely?
YES! The workers have a long weekend this week, which means pure, lovable, FREEDOM! So, therefore, we have many more privileges right now.
Suddenly, I felt a poke on my shoulder.
"Annieeeeeeee!" Beth laughed over her shoulder.
"Elizabethhhhhhhhh!" I smiled. I ran over to Jessica, but I wasn't quite sneaky enough.
"Not today, Annie!" She grinned, running away.
So, I went after Gwen instead, and it was perfect! She was looking the other way...so I gave her a nice pat on the back. "GWEN!" I yelled, running away.
She laughed and we all played for awhile longer. Then, we decided to start a game of hide and seek.
"One-two-three-NOT IT!" I screamed. Everyone else followed, but Sarah was a little late.
"Awhh darn!" She said jokingly, snapping her fingers. We laughed.
"Ok....well then! Everyone HIDE!" She yelled, going over to the post to count.
I ran over to where another a #32 named Heather was riding a horse, and got right on behind her. She laughed.
Sarah came over a minute later and I posed and tried to blend in.
"ANNIE!" She called, laughing at my cleverness. I giggled too.
"Ok, ok! At least I'm not first!" I grinned at Makynli.
"Heyyyy!" She laughed. I smiled.
We played for awhile longer. It was great fun! But, then we got hungry.
"Let's go to get lunch!" I suggested. They all agreed.
We arrived at AG Cafe. When there, we were VERY surprised.
"So...just leave us alone!" Melissa yelled at Ivy. Ivy just sat there, very much unlike her usual self to simply take the words. Melissa, Whitney, and Janessa stomped off, leaving Ivy standing there, all alone.

Love ya!

Halloween Plans

Halloween! What an exciting word! (Since Beth is feeling better about things now, we are all talking and laughing again. It's great! :D) We discussed our plans for Halloween.

"I'm probably going to be Mulan!" Kiya said.

"That's perfect! You do look JUST like her!" Gwen agreed. We all smiled.

"I'm going to be a cheerleader! Just like Sonali!" Sarah said happily.

"Cool!" Beth said. "I'm going to be a princess!"

"You sure look prettier than a princess, Beth! That's great!" I grinned. "I think I am going to be Glinda, from Wicked!" I said, smiling and waiting for their responses.

"Oh Annie! That's awesome! Great idea!" Were things they all said. I smiled.

"I'm going to be a colonial girl, in honor of both you and Lissie, Beth." Makynli smiled.

"Awhhh!" We all agreed. Beth smiled widely.

"Ohhhh dearest friends! I have an amazing idea!" I said excitedly.

"What?" They all asked, just as excited.

"We should have a party! A HUGE Halloween party!" I said, the words coming fast, since I was very, very excited.

"Agreed! Awesome!" They agreed. I smiled.

We discussed plans for exactly how our party should run. We all smiled, satisfied with our many wonderful ideas.

Oh yeah! This Halloween is going to be AWESOME! :D



Love ya!
~Annie

Beth

Beth. I don't know what to do about her! I mean, I completely understand, I've been through the exact some thing when Molly left! But, I mean.....she's soooo sad! We all are, but she's definitely the saddest. We've been trying to cheer her up.
"Hey Beth! Want to come play hide and seek with us?" Kiya asked, smiling.
"No thanks," She mumbled, staring into space, as usual.
"Come on, Beth. Maybe it can get your mind off things!" Jessica suggested.
"Guys, I know you're trying to help, but I just don't think that anything will help. I just want to be alone," She said, laying down and turning to the opposite side from us. We sighed.
A few hours later, I decided to try to talk to her privately.
"Beth, do you mind?" I asked, walking in and sitting down by her. She shrugged.
"Beth, I know it's hard. Really! I've been there! But, you just have to let it go, move on! It will be ok." I said, looking at her straight in the eye.
A small smile crept upon her face. "Thanks, Annie. You're the best." She said softly, giving me a hug.
"Anytime," I said. "I'm always here for ya, girl."
We smiled. Things are going to be ok.

Love ya!
~Annie

Wishing For Lissie

"Well, I guess-I guess this is goodbye!" Lissie said, the tears already coming.
"Lissie!" We all cried, rushing to her and getting in a big group hug. Then she hugged everyone individually.
"Lissie! I love you! Don't you ever forget that!" Sarah cried, hugging her tightly.
"I won't! Ever! I love you too, Sarah!" She said, bawling so much I was surprised she still had tears.
"I love you girl! You're the best!" Kiya said, crying just as hard as Sarah.
"You too, Kiya!" Lissie whispered, hugging her hard.
Gwen walked up to her. "Lissie! Don't ever let anything get in the way of keeping us as friends!" She said, hugging her.
"Thanks Gwen. You're the best!" She cried.
"Lissie! I'll miss you so much more than I can say!" Makynli cried, rushing over to her and hugging her tightly.
"You too, Kynli! I love you!" She cried harder.
"Lissie!" Jessica said, crying to hard to even say anything else.
"I love you, Jess!!!! Keep me updated on everything you do with your most adorable horse, Star!" She cried.
"I will, of course I will!" She hugged her.
And then it was my turn.
"Lissie! How can I ever thank you for doing everything you've done for me?!" I asked, crying with a deep, deep sorrow.
"Annie, it was MY pleasure! Anytime, girl!" She cried, hugging me tightly. I held her for what seemed like short time, considering I may never see her again.
Then she went up to Beth. Things got very depressing here. Read on if you can handle, very, very sad moments.
"Lissssssssssssssie! How can I go on without you?! You're my best friend, but you're so much more than that!" Beth said, putting her head in her hands.
"Oh Beth!" Lissie cried yet harder, the two embracing and crying like their eyes were waterfalls. It hurt to watch.
After a few minutes of crying and talking and saying our last goodbyes, she crept into her box, and another Lissie put the lid over it. She waved through the window and we all left, crying from a deep place in our hearts. Later, a worker came and got her.
That was last night.
Today, she was probably shipped out, on her way to a new home. We haven't said a word all day, we are too sorrowful, with a deep, deep sorrow. There is no news for today. We've all sat together, not saying a word. Just staring at nothing, wishing, wishing for Lissie.

Love ya!
~Annie

Sad News, Sad Days :(

I walked along with Gwen, Sarah, Makynli, and Kiya. We were going to get Lissie and Beth to come with us, we were going to discuss the results for Annie. We laughed and joked about things that had happened earlier that day, (namely Ivy getting sauce spilled all over her at lunch! :D)
We came upon their aisle and walked over to where their boxes were. We saw them and immediately stopped laughing because they were both crying.
"Lissie! Beth! What's wrong?!" I asked, startled and rushing over the join their hug.
"Sh-sh-she's LEAVING!" Beth bawled.
I felt a deep sorrow. Lissie's leaving?! Nooooo! She's one of my best friends! I felt the tears coming to me as well. I didn't bother to hold them back.
"What? What do you mean?" I asked, the tears running down my cheeks. I couldn't help myself.
"Well, I've been purchased. It's time for me to go to a new home! I'm excited, yet I feel sooooo sad!" She said, bawling as well.
"Lissie!" I said, hugging her tightly, crying into her beautiful lavender gown. Beth joined me, along with everyone else. We were all crying with a deep, deep sorrow.
"Lissie! It will be great for you! Don't be sad!" Kiya said, trying to sound convincing, even though she was crying just as we all were.
"Thanks, Kiya. I will have fun! But-it's j-just...I'll miss you all sooooo much!" She said, her eyes shiny.
We all hugged her, crying til we were out of tears.
Lissie, my dear Lissie.....is leaving. :(

Love ya!
~Annie

Auditions

"The sun'll come out, TOMORROW! Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, come what may! TOMORROW! TOMORROW! I love ya! Tomorrow! You're only a daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" I finished singing, lifting up my arms in victory.
"Bravo, Annie!" Kiya shouted, clapping loudly.
"Technically, it would be brava," Makynli corrected automatically.
"Whatever, anways, you were great!" Kiya smiled.
"Thank you, thank you!" I said, bowing dramatically.
"In case it wasn't obvious, you will soooooo be Annie!" Gwen laughed.
"Uhh yaaa!" I said in my usual dramaticness.
"It's ok if you don't want me to have a lead-I won't be offended! I sound like a horse!" Lissie laughed.
"That explains why you love them so much!" Beth joked, shoving her playfully. We all laughed. Lissie DOES adore horses. :D
Suddenly someone walked in.
"IIIIII'm ready!" Melissa came in and smirked. Ugh.
"Umm ok. You're the last auditioner." I said, sitting down. The others followed this action.
She breathed in and performed her monologue and song. At the end I was......horrified.
Kiya didn't bother to hide her horror.
Lissie and Beth had their mouthes open to the floor.
Gwen, Makynli, Sarah, and me all sat speechless. Oh, why did I have this brilliant idea to put her in my play?! She's going to ruin everything!
"How did I do? Fabulous right?" She crossed her arms over her chest, signalling us to say "yes."
"Oh yeahhhhhhhhhh!!! Everyone's speechlessssss!!!" Kiya retorted.
"Kiya, whatevs. Annie?" She smiled at me, putting it on all innocent again.
"Yeah....you were....ummm....great?" I said, it coming out of my mouth like a question.
"That's what I thought," She smirked and stalked away.
Oh yeah. Great.....

Love ya!
~Annie

Plans

We got together to think about ideas for our play. First thing to decide-what play should we do???
"What about The Lion King?" Sarah suggested.
"Sarah-brilliant idea. Problem: there's no boys here. Unless you count the bitty twins. But they're only 3." Gwen said. We all sighed.
"Wicked?" Kiya asked.
"No boys-again." I said. Then it came to me. "Wow you guys. I am SUCH a brilliant genius!!! Let's do ANNIE!!!"
"Yeah!!! We can make it work!!!! At least it's MOSTLY girls!!!" Gwen agreed, laughing.
"Ok awesome! Now let's think about auditions," I suggested.
"Good idea, Annie!" Makynli agreed. The others put in their "yes."
"Ok, so I was thinking we need to do something with acting, not just singing," I said, looking from girl to girl.
"You bring out a good point, my friend," Lissie said.
"Why don't we have everyone prepare a short monologue?" Beth suggested.
"Oh Beth! You are a brilliant genius!" I said, hugging her. She laughed.
"Ok then!" Gwen smiled.
"How about we do 1 minute auditions? 30-second song, 30-second monolouge?" I asked them.
"Yeah! Good idea!" Kiya agreed. We all smiled.

Oh yeah! This is going to be AMAZING!!!

Love ya!
~Annie

My Brilliant Idea

So today, when I knew I didn't have to worry about Molly, (She called me and we talked-she's great! :D) I was in my bed, (aka my box open with a blanket and pillow in it haha :D) on my iPhone looking at some pictures of Wicked (The Musical) on their website, feeling sad that I hadn't been able to sing or act for real in a while. Then I thought of it. A brillllllllliant plan I tell you!
"Why don't I get some of the girls here together and we'll put on a play!" I thought to myself. Oh yes-genius!!! :D
Feeling very proud and happy I went down the hallway to the find Gwen. I told her my brilliant idea.
"Annie! That's a great idea! Let's do it!" She said, high-fiving me. I laughed.
"Thank you, dearest! Let's tell Sarah!" I said grinning from ear to ear.
So we ran down the hallway to find her. When we did, we told her, too. She agreed that it was indeed brilliant and then we also told Kiya, Felicity, Elizabeth, Makynli, and Jessica. We were all talking about in very excitedly when all of a sudden we heard a high-pitched screek. (aka Melissa's voice.)
"A play? Oh I just looove plays!" She said coming up to us, her usual smirk on her face.
"Uhhh too bad! Did we invite youuuuuu???" Kiya said, rolling her head. Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE that girl?!
"Kiya, I wasn't talking to you!" She sneered. She turned at me, trying to look all innocent. "Oh Annie, can I be in your play???"
I am not stupid. I know Melissa. She wants to get in and be the queen of it all. My first thought was "NO WAY!!! You're such a jerk!!! Why would I just let you in and ruin my play???!!! You already ruin my life!!!!" But then, I thought of something. Melissa in my play would be a chance to show her what Broadway-worthy singing and acting is like! It will be GREAT competetion!!!
"Yeah, sure, whatever. You can be in it," I said, crossing my arms over my chest and smirking right back at her. I saw Kiya's mouth drop to the floor. I elbowed her, trying to tell her I would explain later.
"Oh thank you!!!" She squealed. Then she ran off.
"Annie. Michaela. Bennett. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!" Kiya shouted, looking at me like I had three heads.
"Kiya, Kiya, Kiya. Listen to me. I know what I was doing! Won't it be great competetion and a way to show her I'm not just a stupid doll who nobody wants?!" I asked with a "YES!" expression on my face.
Her eyes lit up. "Ah, Annie my dear, I think you have made the PERFECT decision!"
And I have! I just know it!

Love ya!
~Annie

......

"What happend?!" I asked, feeling like a deflated balloon.
"Well, she was at diving practice right? Then, there was an accident. Emily was playing around and knocked her off the diving board. She's in the emergency room right now," She said, putting her head in her hands. "I'm so sorry Annie!" She said super sadly.
"Oh no!" I said. I didn't even try to hold back the tears. I let them come, like a waterfall. Sarah hugged me.
"How could my own twin do this to our best friend?!" I asked through my tears.
"Annie, you have to understand that it was an accident. That's what Sonali said." She said, still hugging me.
"Ok," I said, getting out of her arms and drying my eyes. "I hope she's ok!"
Suddenly, we heard the chorus to "Haven't Met You Yet." Sarah jumped and answered her phone. She went in one of the aisles and talked. She was back a minute later, and she was smiling.
"That was Sonali. Molly's going to be ok!" She said, hugging me again. I cried again, but this time, they were tears of relief.
"Really?!" I asked through a sigh.
"Yes! Luckily, she only hit her wrist. Not so luckily, it's fractured." She said.
"Ohhhhh that's soooo good to hear!" I said, practically laughing from this news that she was ok.
"Plus, she got a waterproof cast, so she can still swim!" Sarah said, grinning.
"Oh, that's even better!" I know she'd be disappointed if she couldn't swim!" I said, grinning.
"Yeah! Wow, isn't it amazing how lucky she was?" She asked.
"It sure it!" I said. Suddenly I laughed. And then she was laughing, too. We sat on the floor, right there just laughing.
Sarah is my best friend!

Love ya!
~Annie

Ohhh no....

((And now my real story starts....:D))

I skipped happily down the hallway, feeling excited to see Gwen after the long shift for the workers. Suddenly, Sarah ran up to me, out of breath.

"Whoa Sarah! What's with the rush?!" I laughed, grinning at her.
"Sonali just called me," She said. She definitely wasn't smiling.
"What's wrong?!" I asked, my smile long gone.
"Molly's hurt." She said, looking down as if she were about to cry.

Ohhh no.......

So there's me and my BFFs right??? Wellllll...there's also some mean girls. Melissa and her crew, as me and Gwen call them. Melissa, Whitney, Janessa, and Ivy. They are the "guards" and make sure no one goes out of hand. It's really dumb though, cuz they are always out of their boxes and walking around and stuff. It's easy to believe that Ivy's mean...she's best friends with Julie, who is also mean. I know that from Molly. Anyways....

So Melissa and her crew always get mad at everyone cuz they think they're better than everyone. It's really annoying! I mean...just leave us alone!!!

Love ya!
