Fierce Love: My Imperfections Are My Strengths! Part One

Chapter 5: Ugly Crying

Author's Note: There will be more of Lou's brothers and Layla in this. By the way, the backup singers' names are in the order that they are listed (Sebastian being the blue haired guy). Enjoy as the story unfolds.

Layla's perspective

It's nice having my brothers back (especially Luca and Leroy after I scared them). My baby brother, Lou, already has a crush on someone! How long was I gone to not see how things have changed in Perfection? Lyric told me that they accepted the Ugly dolls, which made me even more proud of my baby brother. I can't wait to see everyone again!

"Hey, did you see this? It's really funny," a guy says to another guy.

And so they went off snickering. That would be guys when they found something "amusing". What's really weird is that more guys are snickering rather than flirting with me (thought the flirting was annoying). I go to Leroy, the second eldest out of us, and say, "What's up? Why are people snickering?"

"You see, someone posted a lot of things about us," Leroy said uncomfortably.

I sigh hard and look at the bulletin board. My jaw dropped real low. This junk was in fact idiotic (and mean) stuff that wasn't true (well some of the stuff was true but stretched out too far).

"Luca can't lead anyone because of the fact that he'd never make good decisions?! Leroy can't be considered perfect because of his different color eyes?! And what does this say? Layla is pretty but can't even solve what's 1 + 1?! That's so not true! I can do 1 + 1 both ways! If it was then I'd be wandering around forever not even finding Perfection!" I spat with distaste in my words.

"It hurt Luca the most because of the incident."

I knew what he was talking about. Whoever did this would pay!

"All dolls to the Performance stage for a very important message," I growl in the intercom.

Everyone comes out and look at me confused.

"Who's the hotshot that wrote all this trash?" I say menacingly, pointing at the bulletin board.

No one spoke up. Lou looked horrified at the board. I don't blame him since this was only happening to us.

"Layla, I saw someone wrote it late in the night," a guy with dark cerulean blue hair said.

"Alright Cerulean, bring up the evidence then!"

The dark cerulean blue haired guy came up with sparkling cobalt eyes. He showed the picture and it was shocking who it was: our only baby brother, Lou.

"No way, Lou wouldn't have done this!" I say.

"But it was and he even yelled at me to not tell anyone or he'll recycle me," the guy says.

"What's your name?"

"Chase."

"Well Chase, I don't believe you."

"However there is no evidence that supports him. This means that according to Section 29, it says that criminal dolls must be confined and," Chase says, pausing dramatically before continuing, "sent to the Recycling bin."

Now I'm freaking out. "James, is that true?!" I ask, calling out to the Law Robot.

James comes over and checks the rule book and says, "Chase is right, Miss Layla. Since Master Louis has no evidence proving that he didn't do it then he should be recycled tomorrow at sunrise."

"It can't be that serious!"

"According to Section 1, the first and foremost rule that can never be broken is that all dolls must pay full respect towards the leaders of Perfection," Chase pointed out.

"That is also correct, Miss Layla. We will need to secure Louis."

And so the robots were called to take Lou away. "I promise it wasn't me! Please Melody, tell them!" Lou shouted out.

"You can't honestly trust this guy, Melody. He's been playing us since day one."

I saw Melody's eyes filled with tears. For the first time ever, she had no words whatsoever. She just closed her eyes in pain.

Lou looked hurt. I watch with Leroy and see him get taken away. We hug each other and prayed for a miracle.

"Wait!"

Everyone stopped and looked at a girl with dark brown hair mixed with a little blonde.

"What if, as a detective, I find evidence that Lou didn't do it and that he was framed?"

"That would work. Then you have a week to figure out whether he is innocent or not," James says, pulling Lou back to his original spot.

As they go away I say, "Thank you so much! Please save my baby brother!"

"I will try my best," the girl says confidently, "I'm Dara and I'm going to help you guys."

As the girl went off, I wonder who had done it and why would they want to frame my baby brother.

Chase's perspective

Step one of my plan was to have Lou recycled, but Dara just had to use her helpful heart to help that loser! Oh well, it gives me more of the upper hand because I can frame Lou to discourage and demoralize Moxy and her friends. I go over to Arthur, Sebastian, and Martin (the backup singers of Lou).

"So what are you planning for making Lou suffer?" Arthur asked curiously with green eyes shining.

"Well, I need you to convince Ox to come here to Lou's office. I'll just frame him right now while he's still teaching," I tell them.

"We'll be on our way then," Martin said.

A few minutes later

"What did you want, old friend? And you said it was related to Moxy, Wage, Luckybat, Babo, and Uglydog's disappearance?" Ox asked while sitting down on a chair.

"You see, they are here in Perfection messing up the system. I need you to come clean with them," I say, imitating Lou with his voice and look.

"No way, they should be able to live freely without any judgement!"

"Well too bad because if you don't then everyone goes to Recycling."

Ox's face fell, knowing that I had done my job. "Fine, I'll tell but please don't do it."

"Alright, I have a class to teach but you go and tell them everything."

And so he left and I changed back to myself to comfort Melody and Dara.

Somewhere in Perfection

We had done it! Now we were pretty dolls, just like Chase convinced us to do. Everyone was looking at us and we all were pretty after all so makes sense. Then Ox came and that made me more excited.

"Ox, the big world is real!" I tell him.

"I knew it all along," he stated with a sad face.

"What?"

And so he told everything and I was devastated. We were never supposed to exist. My tears built up and I ran. I ran back to go to Uglyville. We could never have a child so that was the only thing I could do. The whole town would be upset after they get this news.

Dara's perspective

I know that I have a case to solve but as a introvert I need to recharge with this nice cup of tea. This was the life I deserve.

"Dara! Moxy left me this note!" Chase's voice rang out.

Why is there not a single moment of silence other than when I'm about to go to sleep?! I read the note and go pale. Someone framed him and hurt Moxy and her friends. Looks like time will be running short. Whoever it is would have to have a lot of hate for Lou.
