Diane scoots back to what she thinks is the mall, but she passes thru a mirror and finds her self in front of a toy store. She walks into the toy store only to see in a mirror on the wall, that not only is she not carrying her bags, but she is nude as well. It`s November and she knows the Halloween costumes should be on sale in the back of the store. The only ones that even look at her are the few teen boys in the store, most of the shoppers were moms with small kids, some teen sisters with tween sisters or younger sisters.
Diane hears whispers saying leave, get out of the store before it`s too late. She can not tell ware they are coming from.
The Aby shelf seems bigger than when she played with her Aby dolls, their was even a tween character Candy and her friends that just started middle school.
Some of the toys looked strange almost too real, like real people turned into toys. I find the costume sale rack in the back off the store, near the mommy and me dress up stuff and try on rooms. I quickly duck between the costumes. What is left over is a weird mix of too cute and wtf, some were from shows too new to have a big fallowing, others were from like one off episodes, were that female character got the job as a bunny/ waiterus. Diane sighs as she picks up a bunny costume a pink leotard with cream tights and pink four inch heels, that will do for underwear, she thinks. She spots some thing called a disco dress.
That will do, she thinks. She puts on the bunny suit minus the tail and ears, she puts on the disco dress, it`s a little big in fact, but it really shows off her bust (36C). She would have been hot too trot in the seventies, I would have been clubber girl in the seventies who married a rich man pops out some brats in the eights, now that still hot widow complaining about her grandkids being on their phones all the time.
She spots a price tag gun, just the last thing I need to hide hear for a while, she writes, Diane doll $30. She threads the price tag thru the belt. She sits on a self and posses as a doll on a self.
A male clerk says "I a doll I do not remember, well better scan it into the computer", he scans the price tag with a ding. "Readily for sale" he says. A female clerk comes by and says "she a little big", she comes over and hugs Diane. She feels strange and it looks like the pair are getting bigger, no, I am getting smaller. "That`s better, now she is three feet tall" the female clerk says. A mom in her thirties and her tween daughter walks by Diane., than the daughter turns around and hugs Diane. "I see Candy has found a new doll, Hi Aby" says the female clerk. "Hi Polly, yep going to take her home with us" Says Aby, the mom says. Polly scans Diane`s price tag and takes Aby`s bank card and taps it on her store tablet witch prints out a reseat that she hands to Aby. Candy smiles as she carries Diane out of the store.
