Stuart was nervous as he glanced around the store, feeling incredibly out of place as, seemingly, the only guy in a sea of girls and their moms. He had entered the Prissy Princess Palace, the premier and most popular doll store in the country, with little time before closing.

The store was massive, with dolls and doll accessories lining the walls for what seemed like miles. There were only a few of these stores and today, the only one for hundreds of miles had finally opened! Stuart cringed as he heard little girls squealing over the premium baby dolls and their realistic features, teens oogling over life-size dolls that came with matching outfits for their owners, and moms fighting over the super-duper expensive but coveted Dolly Wollys for their nieces, daughters, and/or grandchildren.

Stuart didn't care about any of this stuff though, he was here for one thing: cold, hard cash.

Opening day for such a popular outlet would mean that they'd be raking in the dough and he had a plan to steal it. Part one of his plan involved finding the perfect hiding spot. Seeing the giant display boxes and the ample space around and behind them, he figured he had that part settled.

Part two was waiting until all these dumb ladies were gone, along with the employees. He had a backpack full of snacks so he could lay in wait, along with tools he could use to break into whatever safe there was.

Part three was breaking into said safe and taking all the moo-lah.

Part four? So as not to trip any alarms, he'd go back to his hiding spot and wait until the next wave of screaming customers rushed in, covering his exit.

Part five was spending his hard-earned cash on video games, a new car, and all the babes he wanted. Stu snickered to himself with a, "they'll never see it coming..." as he settled into his hiding spot behind a massive display box.

"They'll never see what coming?" asked a voice behind him. Stu jumped in surprise, turning around to see a young woman munching on some snacks.

"Umm, what? I didn't say...what are you doing back here?!" hissed Stu.

"Why are we whispering? And what do you mean? I was here first!" She responded in a low voice, with her hand cupped over her mouth like they were playing a game.

"You know why! Neither of us are supposed to be here! Man, I thought I would be the only one with this idea..."

The young woman's eyes widened before she broke into a huge smile.  "Ooohhhh, you must be here to rob this place too huh?", she said in a mischievous tone.

Stu's eyes narrowed before he broke into a sneer. "Ha! Of course, why else would either of  us be back here? I've always wondered what it'd be like to have a cute- I mean, a partner. What it'd be like to have a partner...," he blushed as  she started giggling.

"Oh but of course!  Now we're partners in crime! So was your plan to hide back here away  from all the customers so they wouldn't bother- I mean, see you? Oh! So now you're waiting until the coast is clear to break into the back office and get away with all the money right?" Stu nodded excitedly, glad she was on the same page. "Whew, thought you'd be some kind of  Prissy Palace security agent. Anyway, your plan is great and all but I bet you haven't accounted for the security sweeps between boxes at night  huh?"

Stu's stomach dropped. "Security sweeps?!"

"Uh-huh! Some big burly guards check between all the boxes to make sure no kids get stuck behind when the store closes. I uhh, know from previous experience! I've cased the joint at other Prissy Princess Palaces. Whew, lucky you ran into me huh?" Stu nodded vigorously, so  happy he'd run into this woman. She was incredibly cute too! Maybe it was his lucky day and she'd be his first "babe". In awe, he didn't notice as she took something off her vest and placed it into her pocket. "Oh my name is Stacy, what about yours? Now that we're partners in crime."

"Stu, short for Stuart." He flipped his hair back, trying to look cool but this only elicited a giggle from Stacy.

"Alright Stu, time to initiate the perfect heist. Super lucky for you  that I have previous experience with the Prissy Princess Palace huh? Now there's only one way to make sure the guards don't see you..."

About an hour later...   

Now that his initial infatuation with Stacy was starting to wear off, Stu was beginning to have doubts about her plan. She'd convinced him that the best way of hiding in the Prissy Princess Palace was as a dolly!

There were tons of human-sized dollies and clothes laying around, so it was easy enough to find the fluffy, pale-blue dress he was currently wearing along with matching knee socks and a pair of chunky patent-leather shoes.

He'd been dreaming of what it might be like to  fool around with her as she applied heavy makeup to his face and placed a cute wig full of curls upon his head. As she tied his wrists to the box he'd be nestled in, replacing another cute doll, she leaned in close as  though he were about to be kissed.

"Y'know  Stu, you are super cute as a dolly. It's almost like you belong at the Prissy Princess Palace!" She giggled as she leaned away, leaving him blushing heavily. As he came to his senses, Stu realized a fatal flaw in  their plan.

"Hey! Wait, if I'm tied  up, who will tie you into your box? Where's your outfit? And how will we get out?!" Stu did not like the way she was laughing, nearly bent over  with a fit of giggles. "Hey, quiet down! What if the guards hear you?!"

"Guards? Oh wow, I forgot I said that. There are no guards silly! No, our buildings are heavily reinforced and we only do electronic transactions here." She was still giggling as she wiped away some tears.

"Wait...what do you mean "we"?"

"Oh silly, I work here! I'm a manager. I was hiding back here earlier so these moms would stop bothering me about not having enough princess dollies in stock. Surprised you didn't see my name tag!" She pulled out a  small rectangle that said 'Stacy, Store Manager' on it. "It was kinda cute to see that you had a crush on me, but I definitely cannot let you  get away with trying to steal from my store."

Her smile and laughing turned a bit more sinister as she walked out  of his box, leaving him to try and break free from his bonds. The ribbons she'd used to attach him to the box were super tough! She came back after a bit riding a forklift and carrying a sign of some kind.

"Well, it's time for me to head home but let's make sure you're nice and ready for when the second wave of girls come in the morning! Oh, I checked your wallet and used your information to find your social media account. I invited all of your friends and family on there to check out  our special deal on our new limited edition dolly!"

She held up a long  sign that said, 'PRINCESS STUPID, $0.00 OR BEST OFFER'.

"Don't worry,  you'll have tons of chances to show off your pretty outfit and more allllll weekend. Bids won't close until our grand opening event is over in a few days. Until then, we'll keep you fed using our Prissy Princess Palace accessories and food products. Ooohh, we can even swap out your outfits, especially knowing how small you are hehe. Tomorrow is Dolly Princess Stupid then we can try out Baby Dolly Princess Stupid!"

She laughed manically as she loaded his box onto the forklift, driving him to a prime spot in the front of the store. As she locked up and left him trapped, he realized that everyone who  walked into the store tomorrow was going to see him. His plan went horribly awry and he felt like a true 'Princess STUpid'.
