As Love Goes On

Beautiful (2)

(Long Chapter)

Lou never actually thought he would've been given a chance to redo everything he regretted. But he had been given that chance, and he wasn't going to lose that chance again. The two of them were walking out of the gauntlet deciding how they were going to sort out this problem. Mandy decided to break the momentary silence. No, it wasn't awkward, but I feel it was more comfortable, hearing the sounds of miniature doll-chirps and the sun up in the sky. Indicating it was 12 in the afternoon.

"So how should we go about this, Lou?" Mandy asked, it wasn't soft this time but more neutral. Lou felt comfortable and replied

"I have no idea... I want to fix my mistakes. But, I don't really know where to start. " He lowered his voice and looked at his feet. He never knew he could feel so vulnerable around someone like this. Well, he saw it coming with Mandy. She had an affect on him everytime.

Lou felt a hand on his shoulder and turned his head to see Mandy smiling warmly at him. He didn't know what he felt, a warm fire burning in his heart suddenly increased as he gazed more into her fire-yellow eyes. He never noticed how firey they were.

"Don't give up now Lou! Now's your chance to finally redeem yourself. And I'll be there with you all the way. " Mandy encourages Lou. Lou looked at Mandy with a genuine smile, encouraged to change his path. "Okay. But, first of all... I really doubt that anyone would take me seriously looking like this. " Lou gestured at himself, Mandy pondered for a moment and clicked in a thought.

"I think I can help with that. "

The two dolls finally arrive at the neighbourhood of where Mandy used to live. Usually when dolls leave they can still have their house but only fora certain amount of time. In Mandy's case she only went out to Big world once, and spent a month away from home, if the doll spends more than 3 moths away from home, then their house is taken off of them. But this only happens once at a time and as I have mentioned, in the Doll World Mandy left for one month, and in the big world left for five years. So it highly unlikely happens. But if it did, they wouldn't be homeless, they would only be relocated. Since Mandy only left for a month, her house was in perfect condition and is exactly the way she left it. Mandy pulled out her keys from her doll pocket and unlocked the door.

Mandy sighed "Home sweet home." She said with happiness. The Big World is wonderful and fun, but in her opinion - she is honestly glad to be back. She continued going down the hall, but slowly so Lou could have a look around. "It's really cozy." Lou complimented. Mandy just gave a small hum in appreciation and continued down the hall, there a door was revealing a very bright and elegant room.

She had decorated last minute and decided to give it a different feel. There were a lot of white furniture and the walls had elegant printings on them. But what interested Lou the most was that this her beauty room. Mandy had a talent for skin care, but Lou never knew. He looked on the table to see a vanity and a bunch of make up and skin care products that Mandy must've been saving up for.

"Wow." Lou said, with a gaze that made him look so amazed. Mandy blushed but shook her head and gestured her hands to the seat in front of the vanity.

"Have a seat" Mandy said kindly.

Lou sat down on the chair and took a good look at himself. Now realising he looked worst than he that. Although his hair was somewhat tamed, it was still bendy and very much out of proportion. He had a couple of marks on his face. But nothing more. Mandy noticed him staring at himself in shock and slightly laughed at his expression. She walked over to him and gripped his shoulders gently to relax him. This made him tense for a minute, but slowly relax into the touch and feel of Mandy's hands on his shoulders for comfort.
