Chapter 3: Available At a Local Retailer
Approximately a month had passed since the careless employee Bill tossed all the old remains of Chucky into the large tub. He had been fired since, and nobody knew what the outcome of the situation would be. Fortunately, though, there did not seem to be any problems with constructing the dolls, so everything seemed to be well. Apparently, there was no "curse" that the remains of Chucky had set on the plant.
Already, 1,000,000 of the Grownup Good Guys had been assembled and transported to major toy stores in the Chicago area. Surprisingly, sales were stronger than expected, despite the heavy price tag. This excited Mr. Ladford and the other employees of the Good Guys company. He ordered more and more Grownup Good Guys to be manufactured and sold. Almost as soon as new dolls touched the shelves, eager excited little children yanked them off and had their parents purchase them. The Good Guys company was becoming extraordinarily wealthy, and Mr. Ladford was glad that his employees had come up with such a doll. To his surprise, it was a big success.
One day, a 5-year-old girl with blonde hair and blue eyes named Amy went shopping at a toy store called Mega-Sized Toys, Inc. Her mother tagged along, waiting for Amy to choose the doll she wanted. Amy and the mother came from a very wealthy family, so it was easy for them to afford large toys.
Amy had not yet found what she was looking for. Most of the giant toys she ran across were of frightening giant apes and oversized dragons. They were scary to her, and she did not want to have any part of it. Worst of all, there were loud sound effects that made growling noises. Amy shrieked while walking down one of the aisles and ran away into another aisle, which happened to be much less scary.
There stood what seemed to be the largest collection of Good Guy dolls in the history of mankind. At the beginning of the aisle, the classical Good Guy dolls had been lined up on the shelves. The aisle had a dead end, and at the dead end stood the Grownup Good Guys, which of course were 20 feet tall. Of course, from a 5-year-old girl's perspective, that seemed to be much taller. All the dolls had very cheerful expressions, and they comforted her much more so than the large apes and dragons of the other aisles.
"Mommy, mommy!" Amy called for her mother.
Her mother, a woman with red hair, ran up to her. "What is it, sweetie?"
"Mommy, I want one of those," Amy said, pointing up at the giant Grownup Good Guys.
"Oh my…" the woman gasped. "Those are the largest toys I have ever seen. I'm not sure if there will be room in the car for it."
"It's okay, Mommy. These dolls can walk and talk all on their own!" Amy said.
"Really?" Amy's mother asked, sounding flabbergasted. She was speechless for a moment. A 20-foot doll that walked and talked on its own. What a sight! "Well…okay, if that's the toy you really want…"
"Yay!" Amy cheered. "Thank you, Mommy, I love you!"
"I love you too, Amy," Amy's mother said. "And it costs…hmm…$1,000. That's much cheaper than I thought it would be. Okay, then, let's buy it."
Amy's mother called for an employee to help move the colossal sized doll. He then informed her that he recommended mailing it to them, as it would be too large to carry by a standard-sized car. Amy's mother then paid the store $1,000, and then, she took Amy, who was now skipping for joy, back to their sleek black limousine to head back to their luxurious mansion.
The doll seemed harmless to Amy. All the dolls seemed harmless. But Amy was not aware that sometimes even the most innocent-looking things could come back and bite you in the neck.
