It had been a long week..... Consuelo wrote a letter saying she would be a little late. Her journey was taking longer than she thought. A doll has such tiny legs, and she was ever littler than us, so she had even shorter legs! She couldnt walk very fast I take it. My sisters (ALL OF THEM EVERY ONE) had been waiting outside. we had seen in the letter Consuelo wrote that she would be here today!! we were all so excited. but when we got out into the front yard, we didnt see her.....and we didnt for a while. They all gave up, saying she probably wouldnt make it here today after all, but I didnt. I stayed out for-e-ver!!
I suppose i was getting sleepy, because when I opened my eyes, it seemed later in the day. I dont know how I drifted off though, the wind had been blowing hard all day! My hair was a mess and I was cold (after all, I was in a short dress!). I thought I might go inside and wait by the window instead. "One more look before I head in." I thought.
I looked up the street.......
............and down the street.....
........and I saw something. "Could it be her?" I thought happily.
I looked closer, and yes it was her!!!! :D
I jumped to my feet and screamed, "CONSUELO, CONSUELO!!!" I must have been a scary sight to such a little new doll, my arm waving around, my hair a fright.
She turned her head, and Instead of fear in her face, there was releif.
She ran up the walkway as fast as her feet could take her. I ran down as well, but she caught up to me faster. She pounded me with a huge hug. I was so surprised I forgot to hug back!
"Oh I thought I would never get here!! Which one are you?" Consuelo sighed with happiness.
"Julie." I answered, and put my arm around her. She only came up to my chest, little thing. here was a doll who had just come into a strange land, and was ready to give me a huge bear hug. and she didnt evern know my name. I looked down at her and could see a little fear in her. How hard it must have been, so young but traveling so far. And all by herself, to come to new dolls that she didnt know much about. Her old situation must have been very bad to be so eager to come here to live with strangers.
I heard a sniff. "Consuelo are you alright?" I asked and put my hand on her shoulder. "Oh yes Julie! I just am so happy that I am finally here that I am crying tears of joy!" Consuelo giggled. I laughed. "We should go inside, you are freezing." I said and then took her hand to go to the door.
When we were at the door Consuelo stopped me. "Julie?" She whispered. "Yes?" I asked. "Will everything be ok now?" She asked me.
I looked into her eyes. I felt so sorry for her I almost cried!
"Yes, Consuelo, everything is ok now." I said and turned to open the door.
The it happened again at Elliebob's bedroom door.
"Julie?" Consuelo said. "yes?" I said again. "Will they like me?" She said worried. "Of course sis!" I said. she seemed to like the sound of that because I felt a little hand slip into mine. I squeezed her hand before I opened the door.
and so a new adventure began! :)
When she went inside she was surrounded by hugs and kisses. We were all so happy to see her finally! We set up a party and had a great time. Consuelo said she will be doing a few posts on my blog after I asked her. I wonder what they will be about? :)
Thanks! :D :) :-) :] :}
