       Lou exhaled and looked up at the sky.


       "Hey, Lou! How are you?" Mandy went to the table, near which Lou stood.


       He wasn't going to go to this party, but Moxy literally forced him. She reminded him about it almost every hour, and he realized that if he hadn't t gone to there, Moxy would have reminded him of this for a very long time... Well, or by force would have dragged him to this party. And the second option was more likely.


       Lou felt uncomfortable as soon as he came to Uglyville. Although the main mood of the dolls changed from aggression to indifference, there were still plenty of dolls that were unhappy with Lou. On the way to the party, he heard some gossips, but decided not to give them attention.


       The party was situated on the beach, and Lou was surprised that the dolls organized everything in a day. On the tables that the dolls brought were various dishes and sweets (of course there were more sweets), drinks of strange and very bright colors. And on the biggest table, which stood in the center, was a huge white cake. A little further away from the tables was a DJ console, on which Ugly Dog was already playing. Lou, of course, was not going to dance, overeat, or paint his tongue with drinks. He decided that he simply wouldn't bother anyone and would leave in an hour and a half. Fortunately, the most distant table wasn't occupied.


       "For the next hour... I have to stand here..."


       "I'm fine," Lou turned his head toward Mandy. "You began to ask this question too often, you know...?"


       "I'm sorry..." Mandy slightly smiled and looked down.


       "Oh, that's okay... At least someone is really worried about me..." Lou sadly said, fixed his eyes on the sky.


       "Hey! This is not true! What about..." Mandy already wanted to list the dolls, who care about Lou, but suddenly noticed that Lou was thinking about something... She approached him and began to stare at him intently. Lou didn't change his position.


       "Have you noticed that all the dolls... For them every day is like a party... And if there really is a reason for this party, then the celebration grows even more..."


       Mandy thought for a moment. Then she said "Didn't you have the same thing before?"


       Lou looked down and frowned. He shook his head for a little, as if casting bad memories from himself.


       "Eh... For the truth... Now everything just changed places..."


       "Hey! Nothing is like this! We are working to ensure that everyone is happy! And you too! And I will say that you are making progress! But now we again stand still. Why don't you go to talk with someone?"


       "I have no one to talk with," Lou answered bluntly.
