Mollie is a doll that wears a frilly dress while Megan is a doll that wears a cowgirl outfit, their appearance are even opposite to each other. Maggie would always play with them when she’s back from school. At the end of the day, they would argue about their role whether whose is the superior one.
Just like any other day, Maggie plays with them in her room. But at around 7 pm, she went downstairs to celebrate her birthday and left Mollie and Megan. They had planned to give her a surprise which is a ribbon that they’ve been practicing on making. They put it on Maggie’s dressing table. Maggie went and put her other presents on the dressing table so Mollie’s and Megan’s ribbons were covered by them. Mollie and Megan felt disappointed that their plan was ruined. They just watch from their place on the shelf when Maggie opens her presents. She got a lot of presents that her table are so stuffed.
The next day when Maggie wanted to go out, she want to wear the bracelet that her mother gave her. But she can’t find it anywhere. She searched high and low for it, but to no avail. Then Mollie and Megan suspected that maybe the bracelet was accidentally thrown in the trash, but the problem is that the trash was already brought to the dumpsite this morning!  Maggie did not go out because she’s still searching for her present. That night, Mollie and Megan have decided to retrieve Maggie’s bracelet from the dumpsite.
They used a skateboard and a soda bottle as their transport. So they depart to their destination, the dumpsite. When they arrive there, the place is brimmed with trash all over the place. So they panicked where to start their search.
“Where do we start?” Mollie whimpered.
“Just find the newest looking pile of trash.” Megan snapped.
So they find the most possible looking trash that could be form this morning. They dig, shove and slipped all around the pile looking for the bracelet. After looking for it for hours they finally see something shines from the top of the pile. They climb it and pull it, at last! They found it. But it looked a little dirty. All dirty themselves, they just give a sighs of relief. They went back to their home by the window that they’ve left open at Maggie’s room.
“The bracelet!” Maggie squealed.
She found Mollie and Megan holding the bracelet together on the shelf. Maggie smiled broadly, then she realised,
“Mollie, Megan! What happened to you?” Maggie shrieked.
Both of the dolls are dirty and torn beyond repair. Mollie and Megan are both happy to see their Maggie smiled again. But there’s one thing that they did not realised, that Maggie would be even more sad if anything would ever happen to them. She loved them both equally.

Title: finding a way home.
Summary: Toby is a little duck who has a wish to go to an amusement park, but after going there, he realised that he doesn’t know how to get back home.

Toby gazes at the bus that stopped just a few feet away from his lake. That bus goes to the amusement park, the place that he had always wanted to go. It was rumoured to be a fun place. He made his decision at that moment with a strong determination.
I’ll get on that bus!
He quickly scrambled from his hiding spot and jumped as he might on the bus’s steps. He then alighted at a station that has the advertisement on the amusement park. He followed the other visitors into the amusement park and was brought speechless. How huge the place is! He went from ride to ride and enjoyed himself until evening. Until then that he thought of how will he get back home. The place is huge and he can’t find his way to the exit. So he just walked on the side walk to avoid getting stepped on. Toby was mulling about wondering where he should go when suddenly he bumped into something. Apparently it was someone’s leg. That person is a boy about seven years old. The boy noticed Toby and was about to catch him when Toby snapped his beak and bolted from the boy.
Toby heard loud footsteps coming from behind him, getting nearer and nearer. He warily looked behind him and find that the boy was chasing him with a determine expression. In a panic, he didn’t turn his head fast enough and hit the lamp post in front of him. When he awakened, he realised that he’s swaying in a steady motion. He was actually in the pocket of that boy. Wriggling in his position trying to escape, he had brought the boy’s attention to Toby. He struggled again to get away from the boy. But the boy held him tighter.
 “Shush, calm down. I’ll get you home.” He soothed.
But Toby just cocked his head, puzzled. Since he doesn’t understand human language. But hearing that boy’s soothing voice, he began to relax a little. Well, at least he’s safe from getting stepped on, he thought. So when Toby saw a familiar place, he would gesture to that direction to the boy with his wings. With a higher view, Toby could see easily his way home.
After a while, they came across the bus stop that Toby first aboard the bus. He gestured frantically to the bus stop and the boy put him down nearby it. Toby gestured to the boy to follow him, and the boy obeyed. So he showed his home to the boy, a beautiful lake hidden by bushes. The boy’s face brightened and smiled. Toby then plucked a flower with his beak from a nearby bush and held it out to the boy. Surprised, he took it.
“Thank you and you’re welcome,” The boy responded. Toby quacked at him in return.
Both of them looked at each other. I’ll not forget him, both of them thought at the same time.

The mud splattered on her shoes and clothes, which made her mom, chase her all around the house with a mop in hand to clean the floor along the way. Not a day passed by without hearing her laughter ringing through the walls of her house.

One rainy day, Lucy heard a soft rustling near a bush where she was playing. She slowly approached it and pushed aside the leaves to peer inside; there she found a kitten covered with dirt. It was mewing at her as if pleading for help, so she bundled it up in her shirt rushing home. She tip toeing quietly into the house, but her grandma saw her silhouette and gave a knowing shake of her head. Lucy then went up to her room and placed the kitten on her bed, and then she went into the kitchen and searched for food, making a lot of noises at the same time.

   That day, Lucy was suspiciously giggling in her room. That really made the rest of the family puzzled. Later when Lucy’s mom wanted to collect dirty clothes for cleaning, she saw that there was a string lying on the floor coming from Lucy’s and she went in to inspect it. She backed away from the room as if seeing a ghost, a kitten sleeping on Lucy’s bed and it looked the same as her pet in the past.

Lucy went home from school in joy thinking about the kitten. She went passed the kitchen and was called by her mom, and immediately she thought about the kitten. Lucy’s face turned white. Before her mother said anything, she begged her mother to keep the kitten. But her mother expression saddened.

“NO.” She replied.

 She stayed in her room for the rest of the day cuddled with the kitten, refusing to eat anything. Lucy suddenly woke up by hearing voices coming from the hall in the middle of the night. So she quietly sneaked to the staircase near her room, realised that the ones talking was her mom and grandma.

“I can’t stand it.” Her mom said.

“Just put the past in the past, Mary.” Grandma replied.

Lucy heard a big sigh coming from her mother, Lucy then scrambled quickly to her room. Lucy still remained confused of what her mother and grandma had said. The next morning, her mom wanted to talk to her. Lucy warily sat the chair across her mom.

“I’ll let you keep the kitten if you promise me to take care of it yourself, okay?” mom asked.

“I promise!” Lucy beamed.

From that day on, Lucy would always play with the kitten openly and they’re inseparable. Her mom watched them with a sad smile knowing that one day the kitten will eventually left Lucy to the other side, at least they’ll have happy memories that they could treasure before then.

So both of them talked for awhile and then abruptly Nick turned and faced Amy, what came next was a shock and unexpected to her.
   “I used to like you.” Nick confessed.

   Unexpected to her, Nick followed and catches up to her. He was confused as to her obvious avoidance of him. Amy suddenly blurted out, “You shouldn’t keep that girl waiting long for your answer, it’s not nice.” She then mentally smacked herself as to why she said that! Nick gave her a hooded expression with a sad smile.  
   “I still can’t forget about you after all these years,” he admitted.
   Until then that she realised she also felt the same for Nick. She whispered, “me too.”
   They embraced each other and came back to Jenny holding hands instead of a bag of snacks with them, leaving Jenny confused yet again.
