~Told in the POV of Ellie~
I plumped down by the Christmas tree and let the tears come. How could Madison send Tova away to the orphanage? How could she be so cruel and heartless?
When no more tears came, I blinked my eyes a few times and took a breath. Clear your thoughts, I thought to myself. I redid my hair and renewed my outlook.
Clipping my hair back, I reflected on everything that happened. Maybe I could convince Madison, in a better tone of voice, not to send Tova away. Perhaps she would let us keep her and find out if there really was a mistake… Suppose Tova could be a part of our great big doll and stuffed animal family.
Just then, my best friend, Josefina, came walking in. She looked very beautiful in Cécile’s meet dress, a fancy bun, and a pearl headband. It must be time for Christmas pictures, I thought. After all, it is Christmas Eve.
“Hey, Ellie, what are you doing over here? Everybody’s getting ready for Christmas pictures.” Josefina asked me, concerned.
“I’m in time-out,” I answered with a long sigh.
“Oh,” Josie mumbled, not sure what else to say. “How long do you have to stay here?”
“Until I clear my thoughts and can talk to Madison in the mature way she knows I can, apparently. But I can’t! Has Tova been sent to the orphanage yet?! How can Madison be so heartless? Oh, Josefina, how could you bear to watch Tova be sent away-“
“Ellie,” Josefina interrupted. “What are you talking about? Sent away? Tova’s not being sent away.”
What?
“H-how?” I asked, bewildered. “I thought that’s what Madison was going to do.”
“No!” Josefina giggled, shaking her head. “You must not have finished hearing what Mama decided. She would never send Tova back, especially not so close to Christmas. Tova is staying with us! Mama contacted the orphanage not so long ago. Tova apprently showed the owner of the orphanage some kindness, and she was so touched she wanted to find a good home for Tova as soon as possible. She looked for a good home, and even though we never adopted her, Tova was sent to us because we’d be the best home for her! Mama has officially declared, she’s staying!“
As happy as I was to hear Tova was staying, I was furious at myself for jumping to conclusions.
I closed my eyes and let out a painful breath I’ve been holding in all this time. I opened my eyes and looked at Josie. “So that’s why Madison was talking to Tova? She wasn’t going to send her back at all?“
“Mama would never do that,” Josefina assured me confidently.
My cheeks turned hot. How silly of me to think… Oh, that was horrible of me to yell at Madison like that, when all this time she was going to keep Tova! I should have trusted her!
“I feel horrible now,” I admitted. “I yelled like a crazy person and made a false assumption so quickly and so foolishly! In front of Tova, too. I am such a birdbrain!”
“No, you’re not. You were concerned for Tova and wanted what was best for her, and you stubbornly stood to what you believed. That’s an amazing quality. Now come on – I’ll help you get ready for Christmas pictures.” Josefina told me, extending her hand to help me up.
I smiled at her sweetness, and took her hand.
“Ready? Most of the fancy holiday dresses have been taken, but I saved my special one for you.”
“No,” I shook my head, and Josefina looked confused.
“But – why?”
“I have to apologize to Madison first,” I smiled. “And then I can get ready for Christmas pictures.”
So Tova isn’t homeless anymore! She has a home – she’s staying with us!
Love,
Ellie
THE END
P.S. Sorry this was short – only three parts, I know. But, mwahaha, this won’t end the dramatic photostories! Check out the new Christmas post for more drama, friendship, and new dolls!
~Madison~
Please add tova to the meet the gals page. I’m really excited for it!?
Well, the Meet the Gals page is for AG dolls, do you think I should add a non-AG doll page?
Well, if you are considering getting more Disney toddler dolls, sure. If not, you should just add her to the meet the gals page. It would be kind of weird to make a whole separate page just for tova, right? You could also seperate the meet the gals page by putting, say, in glitter writing, at the top of the page (right above Molly) American girl dolls, then under Chloe, say Disney princess toddler dolls and put tova there. Done!
Well, I have a lot of dolls that were featuring on here that aren’t AG, (Like Baby Lavender and my Barbie dolls that I don’t have any more :() so I’ll make a separate page for them some time.
Oops I meant under Emma, sorry!?
You GOT RID of h.skipper and laia and the air mermaid and Priscilla Venus?!? *dies* do you still have the GOML dolls? *frantically starts having trouble breathing* and I thought everyone forgot about baby lavender! I guess you didin’t! YAY! *yells in pure, utter joy and excitement*. I’m excited to see tova and the Barbies and GOML’s
Yeah, I had to sell a lot of my stuff so w’d have enough money to move to Florida. My heart nearly broke in two! I still have the GOML dolls, and I really want to make a post with them soon. Think I should?
YES!!! Make a post now!! Okay, you can wait a bit. I’m glad you still have the GOML dolls. If you had gotten rid of neela, I… well… I would not be too happy, to put it mildly. I’m sorry you had to get rid of your Barbies… now there won’t be any posts about them *breaks down in tears*????????
LOL! :D That’s okay. Maybe one day I’ll get another Barbie, they’re really fun to play with. :)
I’m so glad Tova is staying! I’m looking forward to seeing more posts with her!:)
We’re glad she’s staying, too! :)
