Part 3

(Thank you again to everyone I am so glad to see this story doing well. Now please enjoy part 3)

"Oh look Mommy and Daddy don't the Dollly Wollys look cute" said Lauren trying her best to play the perfect little angel.

Mum and Dad were always suckers for Laurens routine.

"Please please can I get one" she said pleading to Mum and Dad with with that innocent look people can do when they want something"

"Of course dear" said Mum with a smile on her face that said she was still glad her daughter liked to play with dolls "Which one do you want"

"The pink one " said Lauren with her finger pointed right at me.

Soon after that they went into the store and I was being taken to the checkout

"Look how real it looks Honey" said Dad to Mum while being uncomfortably close to the front of the box.

"It's so lifelike" said Mum as if to concur with Dads statement "Look she even has the same color hair as Mark"

By now I must of been sweating rivers of sweat, I thought for sure they were about to figure out that it was me.

"Mum and Dad can you come here for a second" said Lauren yelling out from another part of the store.

Mercifully Mum and Dad left to investigate what Lauren wanted. In the meantime Amy came up to me from behind the counter and run the price scanner over the bar code at the top left of my box.

"I guess we won't be playing dress up after all" said Amy whispering in a soft giggle "But maybe if I ask nicely Lauren will let me borrow you for a while"

Before Amy could continue on her list of torture treatments Lauren came back and whispered something in Amy's ear.

"Of course" said Amy letting out a stream of giggles "Let's go set it up"

I was then dragged into a back room of the store and then Lauren started to tear off the tape on the box. Amy in the mean time went back into the store.

"Don't worry Dolly" said Lauren ripping off the last of the tape "We're just going to make a small alteration"

Alteration what did they mean I thought what's going on. Lauren was just finishing tearing off the tape and undoing the cable ties, when Amy came back into the room but only this time she was dragging a box behind her. To be honest I wasn't paying much attention I was just happy to be able to move again, it felt like I had been encased in stone for a hundred years as I slowly managed to get everything moving again. Unfortunately Lauren kept the cable tie around my waist meaning all I really do was stretch my limbs and neck. Lauren and Amy in the meantime were busy with the other box, I tried to get a good look to see what they were doing but then Lauren came and spun the box around the other way so I couldn't see.

"Uh uh uh" said Lauren shaking her finger at me "Dolly mustn't see until we're done"

She then disappeared back to help Amy with the box. Every now and again I could hear them burst into fits of giggles with what ever they were doing back there.

"All done" said Lauren after what seemed to be for ever "Lets show Dolly her new surprise"

I was then suddenly whisked around and I'm sure the look on my face said it all. Before my eyes was what looked to be an over sized baby stroller. The stroller was a mix of babyish pink and white lace and bows, I recognized it from the Dolly Wolly adverts the stroller was meant to be bought as an accessory to the Doll so that they could have something to keep the doll in when they took it out of the box. My eyes darted to Lauren and then Amy but they were only met with both girls having a very evil grin on their face. NOOOOOOOOOO I thought and I soon was struggling fiercely to try and break free of my final bond. Lauren however just simply came over and held me still while Amy undid the final cable tie. Once she finished that Lauren lifted me up and then plopped me down in the stroller. Curse my small frame I thought, as soon Lauren was buckling in all the straps around me. Once I was buckled in Lauren then pulled all the straps so that I was practically glued into the back of the stroller. What was worse was the fact that they could only be undone by pushing a button on top of the stroller, a button which was now well out of my reach.

"Awwwwww isn't little Dolly Wolly just a cutie" said Lauren taking a step back in order to get the full effect "It looks like she's all ready to go for a little ride around town"

Both the girls were now giggling heavily as they straightened and fluffed out my dress all the while I was trying desperately to get out of the stroller but the straps wouldn't give an inch.

"I suggest you sit still" said Lauren as she started to push me towards the door "Otherwise people might think that the doll has come to life"

This practically made me turn to stone, as the last thing I wanted was to have to explain to a stranger why there seemed to be a doll that could move by itself and I definitely didn't want to explain it to Mum and Dad. Amy then opened the door and I was then taken to the main part of the shop where I could see Dad taking boxes out the front door presumably going back to our car and Mum who then came over to where I was.

"Ohhhh she just looks so adorable" said Mum talking to Lauren

"Doesn't she just" said Lauren with the biggest smile on her face ever "Thank you for buying it for me"

"Think nothing of it dear I mean it was your birthday yesterday" said Mum why giving me another looking over "Dad will be going back with all the other stuff and so we will walk home just like you wanted dear"

"Perfect" said Lauren now practically jumping up and down with excitement "I can hardly wait to show off my new Dolly"

Mum then bent over and came very close to my face and whispered "I think you look very cute as a doll Mark and I just know we're going to have so much fun"
