Chapter 10:

For The Better... Or For More Worse

Joey's Story (partly Kyle's)

When the magician smashed his watch to the wall, everything and everyone went back to the second where Lindsey noticed Slappy, but now there's no doll for her to notice. This is what would of happened if Slappy wasn't at the convention. No one remembers ANYTHING that happened with the doll, except the magician. It's all for the better, right?... ... right?

Skeleton Dude: Well... the cameras are free to fans like you, but since I don't like you, I'm gonna charge you.

Me: Hey, that's not fair, man!

Skeleton Dude: It's gonna cost ya twenty-one bucks, dude.

Me: (angry) I ain't paying that!

Skeleton Dude: Then get lost!

I took Lindsey's hand and left the stand.

Me: (sarcastic) That dude is SO rude!

Lindsey: You're no better!

Me: Shut-up Linds!

When we walked around the convention some more, I noticed the "Night of the Living Dummy" stand. Me and Lindsey went to it and looked at it. The stand had some weird Magician dude running it.

Magician: What do you think of this convention so far?

Me: (shrugging) It's okay... (looking around stand) Say, shouldn't there be a... a... that doll from the book on the stand? You know, as a prop?

Magician: Unfortunately, I ran into three kids who -- you can say -- "destroyed" Slappy.

Me: Oh yeah, that's his name ... well... I hope someone catches the kids who did it! Why would someone want to destroy a doll? (sarcastic) It's not like Slappy's actually alive or something!

The magician laughed as me and Lindsey left the stand. Just before we were too far away from him, I heard him say:

Magician: ... they were such brave kids...

two weeks later...

Kyle: (excitedly) Hey, Eddie! You've got to see what I've got from the internet!

Kyle's little brother Eddie came by her to see what she got. Out from behind her back, she put a doll on the table. Eddie started to freak out.

Eddie: (a little scared) It's Slappy!

Kyle: (excitedly) I know, isn't he awesome looking?! It looks just like the one on TV!

Eddie: (a little scared) I know...

Kyle than noticed that Slappy had something in his chest pocket. She took it out and looked at it more carefully.

Eddie: What is it?

Kyle: It's that spell thing that brings Slappy to life.

Eddie: (whimpering)

Kyle: (sarcastic) Oh, come on! It's not like he's actually gonna come to life when you read this thing! Watch I'm going to read it, and nothing bad will happen. (reading out loud) ... karru, marri... odonna, loma... molonu, karrano.

Heh heh heh... A HAH, HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!

...The End...
