Imperfectly Perfect

Chapter 8- A date?

Hi. So, the last 7 chapters were written mostly in March or months before that, so if my writing is different that's why. Also, please check out the top chapter on this story which is titled "Characters looks" which is basically what my OC's (Elandra and Eve) look like. So please do check it out, but anyway, I hope you enjoy chapter 8!

It was tomorrow morning, 8:00 A.M. Elandra was already awake and ready, outside waiting for the whole gang to come.

"Morning!" Mandy and Nolan waved. "Morning guys! You won't believe what happened yesterday." Elandra exclaimed.
"After we left, I bumped into Eve and she heard all about our plan. At first, I was scared she was going to tell Lou but actually, she wants to be apart of it!"

Mandy and Nolan shared unassured glances, "Are you sure that's what she wants? She could be tricking us." Nolan said.
Elandra nodded. "I'm sure."

"Hey everyone."
The three turned to see Eve, smiling with a folder in one hand. "Hey, eve!" Elandra smiled, but the others still felt hesitant. "Eve, this is Mandy and Nolan. Mandy and Nolan, this is Eve."

"It's nice to meet you two. I know it seems weird that out of all people, I would and to help you guys, but there are things about Lou that only I know..."
Eve reassured them. "Does some of it have to do with the new dolls that are here?" Mandy asked.

Eve nodded. "Here's what you need to know." She handed them the folder as they all took a look at what was inside.

May 30th, 2017 is when "Ox" arrived at the institute of perfection. The minute he arrived, everyone was judgmental and knew he was...different.

But Lou thought otherwise and accepted him. The two became best friends, bonding over everything, Lou even let him compete in the training activities!
But because of his difference, he made it harder for the other dolls to cooperate.

So one night, Lou woke Ox and showed him where his kind came from...

They were made of rubbish, cut up pieces of fabric, and trash. They were Ugly Dolls.
Lou showed Ox where he could stay, a place where he could be with his kind, and where he could be accepted...UglyVille.

"That explains a lot," Mandy said as she pushed her glasses up. "We have to warn the Ugly Dolls!" Nolan exclaimed.
"...Elandra? What do you think?" Eve asked, noticing Elandra was suddenly looking a bit gloomy.
"We can warn them, but I feel horrible knowing we might just crush their dreams."
Mandy placed a hand on her shoulder, "It's the right thing."

"Thanks, guys." Elandra smiled. "Alright, here's the new plan. Mandy and Nolan, you find out more about UglyVille and Ox, Eve, you collect more data, and I'll try and get stuff out of Lou."

"Sounds like a plan!" Nolan said, giving a thumbs up. Eve nodded, "I'll get as much data as I can from Lou's office before sunset, just keep him distracted, okay Elandra?"
Mandy smirked, mixing Elandra. "With her perfection, she'll distract anyone."

"It's a plan then, see you at sunset!" Elandra wove goodbye as she walked away, looking for Lou.

.

Today was an asynchronous day, many dolls were either training, studying, or hanging out. Lou was walking around the institution, making sure everything was tip-top perfect, and also making sure the Ugly Dolls were "behaving."
But he quickly noticed Elandra walking around, his heart sprung and his eyes widened. "Elandra!" He called.
She quickly turned her attention to him, her brown locks of hair flowing in the wind, she blinked as she smiled a bit. "Good morning, Lou."
