Emily: Oh, Dolly, I'm so glad we could have tea together today! You look lovely in your orange blouse!
Dolly: *silence*
Emily: *giggles* I know you can't really talk, but that's okay. We can still have a fantastic time together, just like we always do. Here's some tea for you, Dolly. It's raspberry-flavored, your favorite! Don't worry. I won't forget to offer you some yummy treats too. Here's a scrumptious chocolate chip cookie, fresh from the oven!
Dolly: *silence*
Emily: You're right, Dolly. These cookies are the best. Would you like a bite?
Dolly: *silence*
Emily: *laughs* I knew you'd say that! You can't really eat, silly doll. But that doesn't mean we can't pretend, right? There you go. It's as if you've taken a bite!
Sophie: Emily, it's bedtime. Time to put the toys away now. Remember to lock dolly away in her box.
Emily: Aww, but mom, she hates it in there! It's so small she can barely move! She wants to go on adventures outside.
Sophie: Oh, I'm sure she does. Don't you, dolly? Heh. She's just so desperate to get out of here that I'm always finding her halfway to the catflap. But you remember what happened to her last time. Turned into a chew toy in the dog's basket. And the time before that when she got washed into the sewer grate for three weeks.
Emily: But-!
Sophie: No buts! Put it away and make sure it's locked away tight. Dolly needs her sleep. After all, she needs her beauty sleep. Tomorrow's her big wedding day with Prince Ken.
