"Now close your eyes." Deco said.
"Where are we?" Sally asked as Deco guided her slowly into the unknown world.
"All right, you can open your eyes now."
Sally's eyes opened and she gasped in delight. "What is this place?"
"This is the place where all of your drams come true." Deco said.
Sally took in her surroundings, unable to believe that this place was real.
Everywhere she looked were things that gave her a strange feeling. Warmth and bright colors... colors that would never be allowed in the town called Halloween.
"What's happening?"
"Ah... I knew you'd like it, Sally. This feeling... it's new to you, isn't it?" Deco asked.
Her eyes met his in surprise. "This... feeling?"
"Yes. You're smiling. It seems that it's been a while since you've felt this way."
Sally felt the warmth from the huge orange sun in the sky, and inhaled the sweet scent of the flowers.
Overcome with emotion, she spread her arms wide and twirled around and around.
"Deco, I think I know what this feeling is."
Deco smiled. "That's wonderful, Sally. I was hoping you would."
"This feeling... I'm happy. I think I could stay here forever."
"So what's stopping you?"
She stopped twirling and stared at him in surprise. "What do you mean?"
"Stay with me, Sally."
"Oh Deco... I don't know what to say!"
He took her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss.
"Why must you hesitate so?"
"Well..."
"Oh Sally, forget about Halloween! It's a dismal, dreary place that doesn't suit you at all."
"It doesn't?"
"Of course not! You're much too beautiful to live in such misery."
"B-but I'm not miserable! I'm... did you just say that I'm beautiful?"
Deco moved closer and took her chin in his hand. "Yes... you're the most beautiful rag doll I've ever seen."
"Oh Deco..."
But before she could say anything more, Deco leaned toward her for a kiss.
