Where we last left off, Miss Montoya is quite angry with Christina for rampaging through the big AG doll kitchen and nearly hurting herself. But Miss Montoya has left for work, and Christina has her own plans for how she’s going to spend the day…
*SWOOSH!*
“Oh, that child!” A young, inexperienced-with-children, and quite distraught Miss Montoya grumbled to herself. “I don’t know why I even took her in in the first place! How on earth am I going to train her out of her wild ways and into a young lady?”
It was quite a warm, autumn day for walking to work, and aside from being all angry, Miss Montoya was panting hard as she stomped to her seamstress job she was going to be late for, thank to Christy!
Miss Montoya turned when she saw her friend, Rosemary, come running to meet her.
“Oh, Susi! I have been waiting forever for you. Now we will both be late. Tell me, what took you so long?” Faithful Rosemary never went to the seamstress job her and Susi Montoya had without her friend. They always walked together, but now that Susi was late, Rosemary was, too.
Rosemary caught up with Susi, who did not wait for her. “Susi! Whatever is the matter?” Rosemary asked in bewilderment as to why her friend was so sour.
“You can tell me, Susi. I am your friend!”
“Oh, Rosemary. I have taken in an orphan child and I know nothing about raising children whatsoever! I’m only nineteen! She’s so used to living in her wild ways. Today she roped me in to going food scavagin with her. She just doesn’t listen to me whenever I tell her to stop!” Susi blurt out without hardly taking a breath.
Then she stopped to turn and face Rosemary. “I don’t know if I can do it, but I can’t turn her out again! I don’t know I will do next!” Susi’s eyes swam with tears.
Then she hurried off without waiting for Rosemary, a tear or two escaping down her cheek.
“Wait! Susi! I had the answer for you!”
“Stop, stop! Listen to me,” Rosemary took a breath before continuing, “Send the girl to school. Without an education, she won’t be able to get a good job. Plus, in school she will be taught discipline – She should behave better.”
It dawned on Susi Montoya clear in the face. Why hadn’t she thought of that before? Why, this could solve practically everything. She’d work harder to provide Christina with a proper bed and maybe even build a little desk for her to work on homework… Susi’s mind raced at the thought. She felt relieved, excited, and a little nervous.
Susi threw her arms around Rosemary, thanking her over and over and apologizing for being so grouchy.
Then the two friends walked down the road to work for a few moments before breaking into a run, or they’d be late!

“I’m free! Ha! Ha!” Laughed Christina as she burst out of the house and into the outdoors.
She turned cartwheels on the ground and enjoyed the fresh air. It had been long since she had been in the great outdoors…Plus, Miss Montoya would be gone quite a while, supposedly. She could do whatever she wanted!
She took off running through the grass happily.
Weird grass bits clung to her as she sprinted gleefully but she did not care. She simply brushed off the annoyances and continued to play around.
Fallen tree pieces. Why, those would make great climbing obstacles! Think of the fun!
She tore through across the backyard and stopped before the stump, breathing hard. She rested only a brief moment before pulling herself up.
She climbed higher and higher, harder and harder, to eventually crawling with all the strength she had for it was too steep to stand.
She finally reached something she could hold on to, and with a tight grip on the piece of wood, she turned around.
“Not high enough!” She decided.
So she kept going until she reached the top.
It took all of her strength and great physicla exertion to get up, but she did it.
The sun began to sink lower in the sky, and Christy knew it was about time for supper. Miss Montoya would be back any minute now, so she hurriedly scrambled down.
Have I really been outside for this long? She wondered as she began the long walk home.
“Oh, well. I better get on home.” She took off again with new energy to beat Miss Montoya home, but little did she know what news awaited her…
To be continued!
P.S. I shall edit any typos later. I have to go and hurriedly get ready for another service tonight – bye, you guys! Thanks so much for sticking with me…the last two weeks had been quite busy. I want to have a regular posting schedule that I go by soon… Well, anyways, better go now.

Hi Chloe! what are you going to be for Halloween?
Hi! This is Chloe! I’m not sure. I kind of wanted to go as Laura Ingalls for the Dollaween Costume party us dolls are having here at home, but I’m still deciding. Do you have any ideas? I don’t want to go as anything scary or creepy, though.

Hi Chloe. Here are my ideas: A greek goddess (If you like greek myths) Or a fairy. And I like your Laura Ingalls costume idea
Hi, it’s Chloe again! You’ve given me the greatest idea – I’ll go as Tinker Bell! I look just like her! Thanks, Quinley!
