When they got home, it was 1:25 in the afternoon. Angela pulled up in the garage of the house.
Both unbuckled their seatbelts and exited the car.
Melissa ran towards the door with her new doll.
Angela fished through her purse to find her house keys while walking towards the front door. She found her key and unlocked the door. She let her daughter in first then walked in behind her. While Angela closed and locked the door Melissa marched towards her room. She watched her go to her room.
When Melissa got to her room, she tossed her doll on her bed. She then opened her toy box and searched for her other dolls. She picked out three other dolls (Sarah, Crystal and Lola) and threw them all on the floor. From there Melissa pulled her toy table and four chairs to the middle of her room. She gathered all the dolls together and put them in their chairs. But the new doll was still in its package. So she went and got her mother to open it for her and came back. Melissa was so happy to have all her dolls together. She couldn't wait to play with them all. She sat the new doll in her special chair. Melissa played school with the dolls. The dolls were in kindergarten. She pretended to be the teacher. "Good morning class, I'd like to announce our newest classmate. And your name is..." Melissa pressed her ear against the doll's mouth as if it actually spoke. "Class, this is Tiffany Spencer. Say hello everybody!" Melissa pretended all the dolls said "hello" and clapped for their newest classmate. She started playing with the dolls. She began with Tiffany talking to the other dolls and starting a regular conversation. Melissa then used Sarah to talk to Lola. Pretty soon Melissa had the whole classroom conversating. She made Tiffany become friends with her new classmates. As Melissa played with her dolls, time flew by quickly. One hour had passed when Melissa got into the fun part where everyone went to recess. She had all the dolls in both her arms, two in each arm. "Okay everyone! Time for recess!" she said as the teacher. Melissa cheered for all the dolls. "Yay! Come on Tiffany let's go out and play!" she spoke as Sarah. Melissa pretended everyone went outside for recess and threw them all on the ground. She sat down Indian style and began playing with them again. "Come on Tiffany! Let's play Duck, Duck, Goose!" she said as Lola. Melissa made all the dolls sit down. Since Tiffany was new, Melissa made her count. "Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, goose!" she tagged Lola. Melissa made Tiffany run after Lola. She played Duck, Duck, Goose a couple of times the Hopscotch, then Truth or Dare then finally Concentration. Melissa pretended recess was over and time for lunch. So she gathered all her dolls and pretended they came back inside to eat. By the time lunch was over, two hours had gone by. It was 3:35 in the afternoon. Melissa was starting to get hungry again. She had so much fun, she had forgotten where she was. Melissa was in her own little world thinking she was really in a kindergarten class. But so much for hunger, Melissa snapped back to reality.
