The Forever Bride Of The Living Dummy

Chapter 3

I put my head out again, not to far, just far enough so I could see what was going on. Jimmy had sat down on a stool, not to far away from Slappy, he put his hands on his face, his head was bent down. Slappy just laughed. I pulled my head back quietly, but before I realized I lost my balance and fell, causing the door to swing wide open. I was half in the hallway and half in the dressing room. I looked up, Jimmy o' James looked at me surprised, I glanced at Slappy, he just sat their, he wasn't ginning anymore, he was just sitting their, like any old doll would. "Oh, I'm so sorry" I said getting up. "I didn't mean to interrupt you or anything.." My voice trailed of, I don't know why."It's quite alright" he said with a small smile. "So did you like it?"

"What?" I asked, I was puzzled about what he was talking about. "The act, it's about me and Slappy having an argument, I thought that the show needed some spark so I put a radio controlled motor in him" he said,  . "I thinks it's gonna be great. "I'm Jimmy O' James" he said, he advanced towards me and shaked my hand. "And you are?". "Lucy.... Lucy Radmen..." I said uneasily. "So what are you doing down here?" he asked me. "I was looking for my little sister, She needed to go to the toilet but their was a huge que, so she ran back down here" I said quickly. "No one has come down here" he said shaking his head. I looked over at Slappy, I noticed something, Slappy had changed position, Before, he was sitting with his head turned to Jimmy, now his head was straight. "Wait, wasn't he in a different position before?" I asked pointing towards Slappy. Jimmy looked to where I was pointing to.

"No, you must be imagining thing" he said. He laughed nervously. I looked at Jimmy then back to Slappy, I defiantly wasn't imagining things, Why wasn't  he tell me the truth?

"Well, I must be going now" I said, "I have to keep looking for my sister." He gave a small smile and then shook my hand.  Before I left, I over my shoulder, I swear i could see Slappy smiling at me, like a large grin. But I might of been imagining things.

I decided to head to the front entrance of the theater, I had guessed that Bella had found the toilet and found her way  out. She was waiting for me, in her hand, she was holding Anna. "Took you long enough" Bella said with a small grin. I rolled my eyes. "Where did you go?" I asked her, I put my hands on my hips, annoyed. "I told you, I went to find the toilet" she said, unhappily. "Then what took you so long?" I asked her, that question was bugging me. "Anna wanted to meet Slappy, she left me by myself so I had to go find her. I found her with that Jimmy O' James guy" she said, sort of frowning.

"Bella, Dolls don't get lost" I told her, the way she talks about Anna that makes it seem weird, like she was somehow alive, It's creepy. "Anna did, anyway... I managed to meet him and I managed to get an autograph, isn't that exiting" she said with a big smile on her face. "Yeah, sure" I said sarcastically. I noticed something about Bella, Before she was wearing one of her big pink bows that she usually wears on her head. "Where's your Bow?" I asked her.  "That's what i was getting up to, while i was getting my autograph, i realized i lost my bow, I told Jimmy about it, he said if i write down our address, he would send it back to me if the cleaners found it" she said, putting her hands on her lap. "Well, ok...." I said shrugging.  "The show was really great" i said, changing the subject. " Yeah, I couldn't even see Jimmy O' James lips move, he's that great" she said, looking at the theater. I had noticed that to. It was weird.

"I can see mum" I said, pointing to a woman walking towards us, she was caring groceries. Hey girls, sorry I took so long," she said when she finally got to us. "Their was a massive Que to the register." "It's ok mum" I told her, smiling. She smiled back at me. "Can we go now?" Bella asked. "Anna wants to go home."
When we got home, it was 5:20pm already, the show had started at 3 and had went for 2 hours, plus the time mum went grocery shopping and me looking for Bella, which took 20 minutes. Mum usually made dinner at that time. Me and Bella watched tv while we waited. Dad was busy downstairs, sawing pieces of wood, it's his job. You can hear it from upstairs, we have to turn the volume up just to hear the tv. I honestly don't like going down their, not that long ago I read this book about these kids who found out that their dad is stuck in a basement  and the dad they have had the entire time was a plant clone or something. I think it was called Stay out of the basement? I think so. Anyway mum came into the living room. "Lucy, can you go tell your father that dinner is ready?" She asked. "Yep" I said. I hopped of the couch and went downstairs into the basement.

My dad was sawing away at some wood when I got their. "Dad!" I yelled loudly. He didn't hear me, he was wearing headphones. "Dad!" I yell even louder. Still, he didn't hear me. I turned off the saw. He looked up at me surprised, he took of his headphones. I smiled. "Dinner is ready." "I'll be up in a minute" he said smiling back. I went back up the stairs and into the main hallway. Their I saw mum and Bella and our dog Max, he's a golden retriever. Mum was caring a large suite case. "Looks like we have a delivery" mum said carrying it in. She plopped it down on the floor and layer it on his side. I went up to see what was going on. I could see a piece of paper that had been sticky taped on. Mum pulled it off and examined it closely.

"It's a special delivery for.... Lucy" mum said looking up at me. I looked at her strange. I had no idea I was getting anything. I was so puzzled. "Come on, open it" dad said who finally joined us. I looked us at him and then at the box. I crouched down and looked at it. Their was a hatched. I lifted up and opened the box. What was in that box, I wish wasn't their. I wish it wasn't their at all. Their was Slappy, laying on his back, looking at me.
