Author's Note: We all know that Dora's parents are the most irresponsible and permissive parents in television history. But what if they decided to not be like that anymore? What would Dora's life become with the sudden transition from over-permissive to over-strict. What would it change? Everything. I have written been writing a story, giving my idea about what it would be like!
It was a seemingly normal day in the Marquez household. Dora was in the mood to explore and her parents were overly permissive...or so we thought. Dora was just about to walk out the door to do her everyday bull crap when her parents stopped her dead in her tracks to have a discussion, which Dora thought was no big deal.
"What...what is it?", Dora responded timidly.
"Dora, me and Papa need to talk to you!" Dora's mom said in a very angry tone
Dora's heart started to race. She had never seen her mama so pissed off. She started to sweat, she started to shake, and for a split second, she thought her bones were going to shrivel up and break. And before Dora could take her first breath, the mother began her speech.
"Dora, your dad and I are tired of your constant rebellious attitude!" the mom said in a tone as angry as ever.
"I'm not rebellious!" Dora began "I just have a hobby, unlike you useless parents! You should pick up one up sometime..." Dora said as she was fixing to cry.
"You will be starting preschool tomorrow. You are to not see your stupid animal friends anymore, no more unsupervised exploring, and we are confiscating your backpack! We have a new and normal one picked out for school" Dora's dad told her and meant it. He ripped that backpack right off of her shoulders.
Then Dora felt them. The tears. She ran into her room and landed on a pillow before the first tear exited from her brown eyes. Then she proceeded to cry as though there was no tomorrow. Her pillow was soaked in a matter of seconds. Then she heard a loud beating coming from her door.
It was her dad with a yard stick. He starting beating on Dora's butt like it was a drum, which resulted in Dora screaming bloody murder. Then the mother comes in, angry as she'll ever be.
She screamed "HOLD IT TOGETHER, BRAT!" at the top of her lungs.
Dora, once again, felt the tears streaming from her eyes, but this time, she decided to take action. Her parents had no right to treat her this way, she thought.
She pushed her parents out of the room, locked her door, and went looking for her phone so she could call Boots. Her phone was nowhere to be found. Dora was overcame with a wave...a tsunami of fury. She banged on her bedroom door, screaming "STUPID PARENTS, WHERE THE HELL IS MY PHONE?!"
"YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE TO US LIKE THAT. WE GAVE BIRTH TO YOU! WITHOUT US, YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE!" the mother said, very clearly and loudly
"WHERE. THE HELL. IS MY. PHONE?!" Dora asked a second time, 100 times as mad as she was when she asked the question the first time.
"When have put away! You will get it back when you learn how to be a proper eight year old" the father answered in a very stern tone, but not screaming like a maniac.
Dora waits for her parents to go upstairs. After all, they do have newborn twins to attend to, but it felt like forever. She wanted to sneak her cell phone back so she could at least hear Boots's voice over the phone, but her parents were too busy in the living room talking crap about their rebellious daughter Dora.
Then it suddenly went dead silent... until... *splash*
This scared Dora right out of her skin. She ran right out of her room to find out what the noise was. She found her phone in the kitchen sink. She tried to get it out, but her parents grabbed it first. They threw it on the kitchen floor as hard as they can. And they did it right in front of Dora. The phone broke, of course. Dora could no longer reach Boots! But then it started again.
Dora, once again, started screaming at the top of her lungs. She yelled "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO MY PHONE!?"
The father turns to Dora, making a nasty face. "Dora, you are 100% grounded until you prove to us you have become a well-rounded human being."
"But..." Dora said, not having a chance to finish her sentence
Then Dora's parents both said, "No buts! Go to sleep RIGHT NOW!"
Then Dora walked slowly walked to her room and crawled into bed. She was tired from all of this anyway. This new stage in Dora's life might seem hellish right now, but she is bound to thank her parents later on down the road. She was dreading school, of course, but on the bright side it will give her an opportunity to interact with people and make some friends that aren't a bunch of filthy, rabies-carrying animals. Dora wasn't realizing any of this yet, but in time, she will think back and thank her parents for turning her her life around.
