Tickle Me Flame: Ty Lee doll.
The spokesman took out the next doll, the cute little friend of the princess. She had a wonderful smile on her face, and a gleam in her eyes. Not many people knew that the daughter of a nobleman had joined the circus, but everyone rich and poor, noble person as well as peasant had never forgotten her kindness, a rarity around the Fire Nobles.
Ty Lee's doll was selected by nearly everyone in the crowd, male and female, child and adult. She was dressed in two different forms, one in her royal academy school uniform, and the other in the supposed dress of the circus that she joined up with.
A boy of six years old tickled her feet, and she giggled and rocked back and forth then giggled again. "Oh that tickles," she laughed. "Try to remember to be a good child for your mother and father."
"Okay," the boy said with a bright smile. He tickled her again and hugged her. "You're my best friend."
"How cute is that?" asked a passer by.
Another child tickled her doll and Ty Lee shrieked and wiggled as she laughed. "No don't tickle me there! That's my secret spot!" she giggled and wiggled before bending backward into a circular shape.
"What in the world is that?' the child's parents asked.
"When you tickle the Ty Lee doll in a constantly changing secret spot, she bends around and shifts shapes," the spokesman said. "We all know that she's quite flexible, and we thought that if we could get this doll to teach them about shapes too, that would be helpful."
"Interesting," the girl's father said. "Doesn't she encourage the children respect for the fire lord and the nation?"
"Well, Ty Lee teaches them respect for the family, and since the family is the basis of the empire, we figured that was okay."
"Mommy lookie, my dollie taught me the shape circle," the girl giggled.
"That's nice dear," the mother said with a smile.
"I'm still not convinced," the father grumbled. His wife smacked him in the head, and looked back at her daughter.
"Sweetie that's wonderful!"
Another girl tickled her doll's pale stomach, and Ty Lee giggled. "That tickles very much." She tickled her again, and Ty Lee giggled, "Oh boy!" a third time and the doll screamed with laughter, "Oh boy that tickles!"
"Okay that was weird, were those all individual phrases?" someone asked.
"No, they were a combined phrase," the spokesman said. "We don't know who came up with them, but its been said someone found a scroll with a red doll with goggly eyes who said something very similar ages ago."
"Man Ty Lee is hot," one teenage boy said, looking at his doll. "She's even hotter than Mei or the princess herself!"
"She's okay if you like the good girl types, but I prefer the princess," his friend said.
"I really like that bounty hunter Jun if you guys ask me," a third teenager said.
The doll looked up at them with wide eyes and blinked, "Um if you guys aren't going to do anything, could you at least put me down by that poor child who couldn't get his hands on a doll?"
"Hey mind your own business," the second boy snapped.
"Yeah, you're just a stupid toy," the third teenager grumbled.
"Could a stupid toy do this?" the doll asked. She leapt into the air and quickly pinched their nerves, dropping each one of them to the ground. The Ty Lee doll bounced near the little boy, who was around two in a half and smiled.
"Wow!" the boy cooed. He picked her up and tickled her under her arms, making her giggle and shake. "Funny!"
"That really tickled!" the doll laughed, "Would you like to be my friend?"
The boy shook his head and ran over to his twin sister, who tickled the dolls' feet. Ty Lee giggled again, "Oh that's silly! Remember, all good boys and girls who do what their parents' say get sweet tickles by the angels!"
The twins looked at each other giggled themselves and ran off to ask their parents' to buy the toy. As they had very little money, and brought the children here to find them the perfect toy in the first place, their mother and father quickly agreed. Besides, both parents felt that Ty Lee was a superb role model. She had even baby sat for the twins when they were new born, and for the older sister who was eight years old as well.
A thirty year old woman shopping for her niece's birthday tickled the doll, and she laughed and shook. "Siblings should stay the best of friends, no matter what!" Ty Lee said after she finished laughing.
"How true, I still live with my thirty four year old brother, and thirty six year old sister!" the woman said with a nod.
"Oh, I'm sorry you have had a hard time getting work," a man said as he passed, overhearing what she said.
"What are you talking about?" the woman asked. "I'm a multi-millionaire. I just love my brother and sister so much, it would be hard to leave them!"
"That's creepy," the old man said with a sigh.
"Not creepier than an old man playing with dolls," Ty Lee said. "Especially if they're a really, really meanie!"
Never hearing a talking doll before, the old man grabbed his heart and dropped dead. The Ty Lee doll gasped and began to shed a tear.
"Oh no! I never meant for that to happen!"
"Oh sorry," the old man said, rising to his feet. "I just had a bout of gas." He then remembered the talking doll and sped out of the faire, screaming like a lunatic.
"He's insane, isn't he?" The Ty Lee doll asked.
"That's right!" the woman said. "Now how about I buy you and take you home to my niece!"
"Neat! Will there be carrot juice and crackers!" The woman nodded. "Wheeeee!"
A thirty-one year old man tickled his Ty Lee doll on her stomach, and the doll giggled. "You're so nice! Would you like to hear a story?"
"Well, I'm busy writing one in my head right now, but maybe later," the glasses wearing, bald man said with a smile. He went to the spokesman, and paid for all of the dolls, thus far and then took his place in his chair.
"Who the heck was that anyway?" the spokesman' aide grumbled and howled.
"Don't know, all I got was something Ziggy out of this strange writing," the spokesman said, looking at odd letters he had never seen before. "But at least he paid in gold, so on with the next dolls!"
LOL, Okay I know, the ending of this chapter was a little lame, but I couldn't help but put myself in a cameo. Ty Lee is my second favorite of the new characters, next to Song.
Ty Lee: I thought this chapter was kinda weird.
Oh God, another one has entered my mind sigh.
Song: You're just jealous because he say's I'm the number one favorite of the new group of characters.
Ty Lee: You're not even in the story, nor do you have a chapter.
Song: This is a Fire Nation story, I'm an member of the Earth Kingdom, duh!
Ty Lee: Oh yeah! Hey wanna catch my next act in the circus!
Song: Well, I guess, sure!
O…kay, now that they're gone, I guess I can tell you that up next are Azula's twin aides!
