The next morning Dolly woke up. She looked around and wondered how she got there. Where was she even? Then she remembered how she fell asleep on the couch while she and Venus watched a movie. She blushed a little bit and looked around in the room. Then she saw Venus laying on a madrass, sleeping peacefully. She began to blush more. Did she bring her here? Did Venus really ler her sleep on her bed? It made Dolly smile. After that she saw her eye patch on the table beside the bed. She quickly took it and put it back on. Good thing that Venus was still sleeping... Dolly let out a small sigh and began to feel hungry. She didn't want to wake Venus up and she didn't have ebough courge to go out to the kitchen and make some. What if her parents are there?

Dolly sighed once again then laid down on the bed and waited for Venus to wake up which she hoped would be soon.

Skyler slowly began to wake up. He felt the smell of burnt pancakes. He sat up and yawed before he began to walk to the kitchen. There he saw Jackson struggling making pancakes.

''Goodmoring Jackson.'' Skyler said softly.

''Ah! Goodmorning Skyler!''

''Want me to help you?''

''You don't have to. I can manage.''

''Are you sure? The kitchen looks like a mess and...'' Skyler looked around and saw burned pancakes. He decided to keep silent there. Jackson looked at the pancakes and blushed. Yes he wasn't the best cook. It was ususally his mother who cooked but she still wasn't home yet. He sighed softly and felt emberessed. He just wanted to make breakfast for Skyler. He didn't think he would fail so much...

''Fine... Please help me.''

Skyler nodded and helped him with the pancakes while Jackson began to clean up the big mess he had left. He noticed how good the pancakes became when Skyler did them.

After the kitchen was clean and the pancakes were done they sat down and began to eat. Jackson's eyes widened at how sweet they tasted like. He must have put too much sugar in it.

''I failed so much...'' Jackson said while he sighed. Skyler smiled.

''It tastes alright...''

''It's too sweet.''

Skyler let out a giggle.

''Yeah... But you learned from your mistake right?''

Jackson nodded.

''Yeah. I did. Never cook again.''

''Come on. If you want I can teach you.''

''That would be nice.'' Jackson smiled a little.

''Great. Then we could meet sometime at my house. We could get the kitchen how messy as we want without anyone bothering us.''

''Sounds good. Are you living alone?''

''No. I live together with my sister. But she never bothers me when I'm in the kitchen.''

''Right. You have a sister. When should we do it?''

''I don't know.''

''How about... Next week? On... Friday I guess.''

''Sure.'' Skyler smiled. Though he wished it could be sooner. He has to wait one week. One whole week. He sighed softly and took another pancake. Even if it was too sweet Skyler still ate it because it was Jackson who made it to him... And that meant a lot to Skyler.

When Venus woke up, she and Dolly went to eat breakfast. Dolly was happy that she could finally eat.

''You know Dolly. You could have woken me up when you were getting hungry. You didn't have to wait until I woke up.''

Dolly looked down at the food.

''Well... I didn't want to wake you up... You were sleeping so peacefully... I didn't want to bother you...'' Dolly replied while blushing a little bit. Then Venus let ut a small giggle.

''I understand. Well it doesn't really matter now.''

Dolly nodded and took another bite of her meal. She smiled a little bit and felt calm again. Did she have to go home now? Well she did miss her brother... But at the same time she doesn't want to leave Venus. She let out a small sigh.

''Is everything okay Dolly?''

Dolly looked up at Venus.

''Yes...'' She said quietly.

''It's just... I don't want to leave yet..'' Dolly was still blushing and looked extremly adorable. Venus coldn't help but to give her a big hug. It made Dolly suprised.

''Ven-''

''You don'y have to leave now Dolly... If you want we could hang out in the mall or something.''

It made Dolly smiled and hugged her back.

''I would like that but... I never been at the mall before.''

''Y-you haven't?! Well let's go right away.''

''Alright!'' Dolly had a big smile this time. Venus looked at er cute little face and blused. She then pulled away from the hug.

Soon after that they were on their way to the mall. Dolly was excited and wondered what it looked like. He had heard about it a lot but never really went there. Even though Frankie and te others invited her after school she would rather stay at school a little longer to help Venus with the plants.

''And what are we going to do at the mall?'' Dolly asked couriosly.

''We will walk around and see what there is in the different shops and maybe buy things.''

''I see. Will there be sweets too?''

Venus gave her a smile and nodded. Looks like Dolly doesn't think about clothers too much and it seems like she has a sweet tooth. Venus thought it was cute.

When they arrived Dolly's eyes widened and looked around. She was a little scared. The place was huge and there were many pepole inside. Without thinking Dolly grabbed Venus' arm.

''Is everything alright Dolly.''

Dolly gave a small nod but didn't let go from Venus' arm. Venus smiled and slowly began to walk inside while Dolly followed.

After a while Dolly slowly began to let go from Venus' arm. Venus noticed and actually wanted Dolly to hold her arm a little longer but she was quiet about it. Venus went to buy sweets to Dolly. Her eye began to sparkle when she did and it made Venus smile to see Dolly be so happy over such a small thing.

When Dolly ate the cookie Venus bought her they went into a shop. Venus looked around and looked at the different clothets. Of course Venus went into a store were everything was environmentally friendly. Dolly was following after Venus and looked at them. She thought they were all very interesting. But in the end none of them bought anything. So they just went inside the café. Venus ordered water while Dolly ordered strawberry milkshake.

''I can pay for it.''

''No Venus. You don't have to.''

But no matter what Dolly said, Venus payed for her drink.

''You didn't have to Venus...'' Dolly said while drinking the strawberry milkshake.

''But I wanted to Dolly''

Dolly sighed softly and began to smile a little bit and blushed. She felt like they were on a date. Venus looked at Dolly's face while she drank her water. She was thinking about how cute Dolly was. How could she even be so cute? Venus looked at Dolly's lips and noticed how soft they looked like... But why did she even think that? Or look at her lips. Venus felt how her cheeks got warm and looked away to avoid to think about more strange thoughts.

''Thank you...'' Venus suddenly heard Dolly's voice.

''For what?''

''For the milkshake.''

''Oh, it was nothing.''

Dolly smiled and soon drank up all of it. Venus already drank her glass of water and was waiting for Dolly to finish.

''Alright. I'm done. We can go now.'' Dolly said witha smile while Venus nodded and smiled back. Then wen they were about to leave they saw Toralie enter the café. Dolly quickly hid behind Venus as Toralie approached them.

''Hello there Venus. It's not often I see you around here...''

''Hello Toralie. I'm actually with a friend here today.''

Doly felt how warm her chest got. Venus and she are friends now... It made her happy... But Dolly wanted to be more to Venus. She wants to be her girlfriend. Not just one simple friend.

''I see.. And she is?..''

''Dolly. She is actually a new student at monster high.''

''Oh really?''

Dolly slowly moved to look at Toralie.

''H-hello... I'm D-Dolly...'' She said. Venus looked at Dolly and smiled. Toralie sighed and looked away.

''Well bye. I was meeting another friend anyway. See you at school Venus.'' Toralie then left. Dolly moved away from Venus' back and took a deep breath.

''Are you alright Dolly?''

''Yes. She just scares me a little...''

''Don't worry. She won't bite. Toralie is my friend.''

''She is?''

Venus nodded while giving Dolly a smile.

''And am I also your friend?''

''Of course you are.''

Dolly began to smile even more. They are friends. Dolly never really had much friends. She always had only Skyler. But now She noticed that he wants something else, something she can't be. Skyler wants a lover. And Dolly wants to support him. No matter what. And it seems like Skyler has already found one. Well Dolly knows who it is.

It was getting dark. Dolly needs to go home now even though she doesn't want to. Both of them were standing outside the mall.

''Then bye Venus. I had a lot fun today.''

''Me too Dolly. Are you sure you can manage going home all alone.''

''Yes... Don't worry.'' She lied. Dolly had no idea how to get back and she was also scared of going home all alone in the dark. She was even trembling a bit. Venus gave a small nod.

''Alright then. See you in school then.''

Dolly nodded and slowly began to walk. She began to tremble even more and was so scared. What if someone will just come out of nowhere and take her away? Or kill her? Dolly became even more scared and continued to walk. Just calm down Dolly... Everything will be fine.. She thought to herself whle she kept walking.

''DOLLY!''

Suddenly Dolly heard somebody call her name. She turned around and saw Venus run towards her.

''I'll walk home with you.''

''But why? I said I could manage.''

''But I can see how you are trembling.''

Dolly then heard a loud noise and jumped towards Venus while grabbing her hand. Turns out it was just a car.

''Okay I'm scared... Please walk me home.''

Venus smiled and held her hand.

''I will.''

They then began to walk. Dolly didn't let go from her hand. There is no way she would... Not her wonderful warm hand. It made her feel safe. Venus was smiling while they walked. It was good that she decided to walk home Dolly. After a while they arrived. Dolly slowly let go from her hand and smiled warmly towards her.

''Thank you for everything Venus.''

''You're welcome. I enjoyed it a lot today.''

''Me too. I'm very happy that you walked me home today.''

''It was my pleasure.''

Venus moved closer to Dolly and pulled her into a hug. Dolly got suprised and didn't move. Her heart began to beat fast and her cheeks grew hot. She could smell Venus' scent. She smelled like flowers... Venus then slowly pulled away and began to stroke Dolly's cheek. She thought she looked so adorable right now... How many times did Venus even think that? Well a lot... But that doesn't matter...

''We should spend the day like this more often...''

Dolly nooded slowly and looked into Venus' eyes. They had a beautiful blue color. Then Venus pulled away and smiled. Dolly was blushing and felt how her heart was beating fast.

''Goodbye Dolly!'' Venus then said as she began to walk away and waved. Dolly waved back.

''Goodbye...'' She whispered then ran inside, closing the door behind her and went to bed. She hid under the covers and tried t calm down. Venus was so close to her... Dolly closed her eyes and tried to sleep. But all she was thinking of was Venus. But after a long while she finally fell asleep.

Skyler was already home and slept. He got home much earlier and didn't worry much about Dolly because he knew she could manage get home. And she did.
