Christina and the River Rescue *Part one*
Christina Wagner hurried down the long hall way of the house. She had to hurry because the human kids would be home from school at 3:00. She glanced at her watch, 2:30. She quickened her pace.
“Christina, Hurry!” yelled her cousin Beth from the bottom of the stairs.
“I’m coming.” Sigh Christina with a irritated edge to her voice as she slid down the stairs and raced into the kitchen. “Don’t be so inpatient!”
“I’m not inpatient! You’re the one who spilled the…..” Beth started to say but that is as far as she got because suddenly from behind them came a fierce voice.
“What is going on in here?!?!”
The dolls spun around to see Christina’s older sister Josie standing there.
“Oh, Josie!” Christina gasp. “You Scared me! I thought you what Amanda!”
Amanda was the human girl that owned Christina and her sisters. She had a sister Named Lizzy and Lizzy owned Beth and all of Beth’s sisters. That is why they were cousins.
“I didn’t know you could sound so fierce!” giggled Beth.
“Well I guess I can sound fierce if I want to” Grinned Josie “And you should be glad I am Not Amanda, or you would be in bigger trouble than you are now. So tell the problem.”
“She spilled the water!” wined Beth pointing at Christina.
“But she’s the one that pushed me!” Exclaimed Christina. The dolls argued for several minutes about who’s fault the spilled water really was. Josie shook her head.
“Girls stop it!” She finally said. “I have had it with your arguing! We don’t have time for it! The humans will be home from school soon and we still have to clean up this mess!”
Suddenly the dolls heard the family dog barking.
“Someone’s here!” Cried Beth.
“Quick. Up stairs!” Ordered Josie. The dolls ran up the stairs as fast as they could and crawled up into their spots on the dresser, where they stoop still listing.
“Josie?” Christina said in a whisper.
“shhh” hissed Josie.
“Josephine?” Christina said in desecration.
“What?” Ask Josie.
“What about the water? We didn’t get it cleaned up.” At that moment the dolls heard Donna, Amanda’s mom, yell
“Who spilt the water in here!?”
“We didn’t do it.” Amanda’s brothers said.
“I didn’t do it ether.” said Amanda
“I wasn’t even in the kitchen.” Answered Lizzy. Donna sighed and began to clean up the mess.
“I feel bad about this” Said Christina.
“Me too.” said Beth. “I am sorry I pushed you.”
“That’s ok” answered Christina.
“Girls I am proud of you. Lets Go get some ice cream.” Josie Said.
“Yay! Ice cream!” Beth Shouted
“Shhh” Christina said. “Think I hear someone.” The dolls froze in place as One of the human boys walked past the door.
“Whew. That was close! Maybe we should wait till later.” Christina said.
“I think we can make it down.” said Beth. “come on lets Go!”
"OK" said Josie as the dolls slid of the dresser and went down the hall, ducking behind things if they thought that someone might be coming. Soon they were in the basement where the freezer was. Josie held open the lid and Christina and Beth crawled in.
"Brr it's cold in here. I will have to remember to bring my shoes next time." Beth said as she stepped of an ice pack. Christina rolled her eyes. Suddenly the doll heard talking so Christina and Beth dove under a box of fish and Josie shut the lid and hid behind the freezer.
"I can't believe this!" said Amanda excitedly as she and Lizzy walked down into the basement.
"We actually get to go camping this summer!"
"I know" said Lizzy and hem more to her self than to Amanda said "I hope we get to take some of the dolls." but Amanda rambled on "Mom said that there was other family's coming but she didn't say who. I hope the Hawbakers are one of them."
"I want the Castles and Royers to come." said Lizzy reaching into the freezer for and ice pop and coming dangerously close to the dolls that where in hiding.
"I guess we will have to wait and see." said Amanda as the girls walked back up into the kitchen with their ice pops. As soon as the girls was gone Josie ran over and opened the lid.
"Are you guys OK?" she ask.
"Yea we are fine." said Beth
"Oh boy, oh boy!" exclaimed Christina "I hope I get to go!"
"You can't" Beth said
"Why not!" Christina ask as she started to look like she might cry. "Because it's to cold, you now u can't go camping in February!" answered Beth.
"Oh you silly goose!" Christina said a look of relief washing over her face "You really had me going there for a moment!" all the girls laughed as they headed back up stairs with their ice cream.
