"Are you okay?" Darla asked.

"Huh?" Tanis asked. "Oh yeah."

"And why are you staring at Talky Tabitha?" Shadow asked. Tanis didn't say anything.

"Come on, Darla. Let's get more cookies!" Shadow said and pulled Darla's arm. Tanis was now alone in the room. Then the doll turned her head backwards and looked at Tanis.

"My name is Talky Tabitha, and you better be nice to me!" She said. Tanis jumped out of her chair. Then Darla came back into the room with some more milk.

"Shadow's getting the cookies. What's up?"

"Th-that doll is EVIL!" Tanis pointed at her. "Shadow better get rid of it!"

"Tanis, do you not like Shadow? Are you jealous?" Darla asked. Tanis turned her head towards Darla.

"Me? Jealous? No way." She laughed nervously.

"Okay..." Darla laughed a little. "...but that doll is not evil."

Tanis smiled, but deep inside she was mad. Didn't her friend trust her?
