Abbie R and The Dolls,

The Azalea's Willow; Episode 1

Enjoy this new story everyone!

"I know right! I can't believe that we have to-" Lyla was cut short as the bedroom door opened.

"Auntie Victoria, what is it?" She asked. The older woman stuttered as she tried to start her sentence. "What is it Mrs. Reins?" Lyla's best friend Emmy asked.

"This girl was outside asking for you Lyla." Mrs. Reins explained. Lyla stood up and approached the little girl.

The queer little thing held out a folded up letter with the name 'Lyla Bennsley' written on it. 

Lyla cautiously stared into the girls eyes and accepted the paper. Emmy stood up and payed close attention as Lyla unfolded the letter and began to read it aloud. 

"Dear Lyla Bennsley, we are happy to inform you that your younger sister, Azalea Crier, has been approved to live with you. All of her (Azalea's) information is included on the rest of the page."

Lyla folded the paper back up again.

"I'm sorry, Azalea, you have the wrong person, I don't have a sister." She said with a slight sharp sound to her voice.

"No. You are my sister." Azalea said in an adorably angry voice.


"Give me that!" Mrs. Reins said and snatched the paper out of Lyla's hand.


She sat down and read the letter, and then all of Azalea's information.

She stared back and forth at Lyla and Azalea. "I don't believe it, she is your sister, Lyla." She said with still what was a tinge of disbelief.

Lyla sat down in shock, this couldn't be.

"Lyla! You never mentioned having a little sister!" Emmy cried out. 

"That's because I don't! My mom died three weeks before this girl was born, and my dad six months before that! You know what happened to them! 

She is not my sister." Lyla ranted.

Azalea took off her weird hat, "Do you have any snacks?" She asked. "I'll help you in a bit Azalea!" Mrs. Reins answered.

"Okay! I'll just read this book!" She replied and sat down with a book off of Lyla's shelf.

Emmy, Mrs. Reins, and Lyla debated and talked and thought up theories about Azalea until finally Lyla gave a large sigh and leaned back against the rail of the bed in despair. 

"There's just one problem," She said and held up the letter, "This all makes sense."

"You can't be serious Lyla! When something makes clear sense to you, it means you are serious!" Emmy said waving her hands about as she did. Mrs. Reins nodded in agreement with Emmy, this was one hectic day.

"Just as planned, Azalea is getting herself a home." The girl said as she watched through the window.

Sneak Peek

Abbie here, The Dolls are going to be doing something interesting, a new photo story show is going to be premiering on here soon. And here is the cover poster! We don't know exactly when the show will premiere, but hopefully before the end of the week. It will last for two months, one episode per week, starting this week, giving you nine episodes. And let me tell you, this will be worth reading. Stay tuned!

The Dolls and Abbie R,

We got a new header!

E = Elizabeth,


E: We got a new header, not sure how we like it, but we're going with it for now. Opinion on the madness?

Astrid Roughs It Out Adventuring.

A = Astrid,


A: I went camping a few days ago, I wanted to get a hint of my past, embrace the viking part of me... So, I borrowed Rebecca's horse, packed up some blankets and food and left for around a day-ish.

Here is Shadow and I, outside on our way to, well, wherever. 

I'm thinking around here is a pretty good area.

Yup. Right here.

I dismount and remove Shadow's saddle and release her out to wherever she wishes to go. 

I built my bed, it has an air whole from the stick used as a prop, and the top of the "tent" falls on top of me, forming my enclosed blanket.

I gather some large, LARGE, rocks and set them down carefully, so that they form a table and a chair.

I reach into my bag and pull out my dinner, a hearty bread designed to keep you full.

I look up and notice it is slowly getting dark out. I put on my bandanna for warmth, clean up from supper and go to bed. I fall asleep to the sound of crickets and coyotes howling all around the valley.

_________________________________________________________________________________

The next morning I wake up, it is early and I need a head start if I want to get home before dark.

I get out of bed and eat breakfast, the same bread as last night. And then I call for Shadow.

Luckily, she came back from wherever, because even though I am tough and athletic, trekking through the woods in search of Rebecca's horse doesn't sound fun. That girl is scary when she is mad... Just ask Lewis. 

I pack up, but it feels warm out, so before I place my bag on top of the stack, I remove my vest and bandanna.

And put on a headband to keep my hair out of my face.

I mount Shadow and we start riding.

Before we head completely back though, I want to stop somewhere.

_________________________________________________________________________________

I climb over the stones and get a view of the whole area. It is so beautiful.

Just a glimpse of everything. 

We head back, and the other dolls are happy to see us safe from harm. Though we would have been fine even if we were harmed.

The Doll(s),

Samantha Goes "Camping"

S = Samantha,


S: Bonjour! Last weekend, no not the one that happened yesterday, last weekend a week ago, Mama's family went and slept in their camper! Living in the country just sleeping seventy feet from the house is like camping. And I got to go too!

We watched TV, ate potato soup, and enjoyed watermelon. 

Here I am, with mother's copy of Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid Lindgren. 

This is mother's bed, which is actually the couch folded down. 

Eventually we went to bed.

But the next morning I woke up early.

I peaked out the window, up at the hill to see the morning and hear the birds.

See the trees outside? So peaceful. I could NEVER go and stay outside, in a tent, on the ground, too, dirty! but this is nice. Until later,

The Doll,
