Lily Loud: The Kid that Every Toy Wants
Lily: "Ooo…"
Lily says with her eyes twinkling like stars in the beautiful night sky. As the biggest and most popular toy store in all of Royal Woods: Toys4Kids, stands before her. This store has every kind of toy a kid could ask for, ranging from life-size dolls to rideable space-ships…that ACTUALLY fly! This is sure one special day for the young Loud. As coming here and picking out a toy is Lily's reward for getting seven happy face stickers in a row on her big girl chart.
You may be wondering what a big girl chart is. Well, it's a special calendar customized by Lynn Sr. and Rita to encourage their daughter to behave and act like the big kid she is becoming. Lily gets a happy face sticker placed on the calendar if she does what she is told, is kind, or helps around the house during the day. However, if she misbehaves, a frowny face sticker is placed on the calendar for that day. And if she gets a whole week's worth of happy face stickers, Lily's parents will reward her.
As soon as she heard her mother saying that she could pick out any toy she wanted. Lily ran inside as fast as she could through the giant sliding doors...
Lily: "OH!"
Toys, toys, toys everywhere! The shelves are stocked to the brim, there are different displays, and all toys from robots to cars moving all around. Lily does not even know where to start looking. That is when she heard a loud...
?: "Yee-Haw!"
Followed by a few bangs. She followed the sounds to a display of an old western town set in the Old West. Where two action figures, one of a sheriff, the other a bandit. At the same time, the townspeople consisting of other action figures and dolls are watching. What surprises Lily, even more, is when the sheriff looks up at her with a smile as he tips his hat.
Sheriff: "Howdy little lady."
Lily (Waves back at him): "Tee-hee! Howdy mister cowboy."
Sheriff: "Would you like to have a nice brave sheriff as your new toy? We can chase after lawbreakers, ride along the desert on our horses, and get to have good hearty meals around the campfire."
Lily, with a big smile, reaches her hand into the display, then takes out it, while holding the sheriff. But before she can leave, the bandit hops out and into the child's other hand.
Bandit: "Come on! You don't want a boring sheriff like him. You'd rather have a cool fun bandit. Right kid?"
Lily (Not sure): "Ummm…"
Bandit (Rolls his eyes): "Kid…" (With an evil smile): "Pick me and we'll rob riches, run from the law, and drink as much root beer as we can drink.
Lily (Wipes her lips): "Mmmm… Root beer!"
?: "Hold on a minute!"
Lily turns around and drops the two action figures in surprise as a big purple ball with a top handle is hopping towards her. But what is most surprising is that the ball has eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
Lily: "Wow! Talking ball!"
Ball: "Would you like me to give you a ride? I can show you around the whole toy store."
Lily (With a big smile): "Yay!"
And so, off they go, with Lily sitting on top, using the handle to hold on. The ball, whose name is Mr. Bounce, is bouncing through the store. And as they go further and further in, the store starts to become bigger and bigger, it's like it's becoming a totally different world.
Lily: "Wee!"
Mr. Bounce: "Having fun up there?" (With hope): "So much fun that you will pick me as your new toy?
However, something or someone comes out of nowhere and knocks Lily off Mr. Bounce. When she sat up she saw that a treasure chest was in front of her. Just then, the chest pops open, and out came a variety of different costumes and accessories, swarming around the girl.
Pirate Costume: "Arrgh! Every Child needs a treasure trove of disguises."
Chief Costume: "For sure mon ami. Never know when you want to bake a savoureux souffle."
?: "Hey now!"
Shouted by someone up above. This causes the swarm of costumes to stop in their tracks. They and Lily look up to see the cutest princess doll ever seen on one of the higher shelves. Her name is Princess Valentina, wearing a pink poofy dress, sparkling pink high heels on her feet, white evening gloves over her hands, and her brown hair is all curled up topped with a tiara.
Princess Valentina: "That is no way to get a child to play with you. You must let the child come to you."
Lily: "You're pretty!"
Lily said with sparkly eyes, which caused the little doll to blush.
Princess Valentina: "Why…thank you, my dear. Now, would you like the pleasure of choosing me as your new toy?"
But, once again, before Lily can answer, she finds herself interrupted. This time by two bigger dolls on either side of her. In fact, these lady dolls, Sof and Jade are about the same size as her parents.
Sof: "Not so fast Princess Valentina!"
Jade (Points to the princess): "You're not the only popular doll here."
Princess Valentina: "Well…" (Angerly crosses her arms): "At least I'm affordable."
But the two seem to decide to ignore the smaller doll now, as they turn their attention to Lily. Jade gets down on her knees and starts to ruffle the kid's hair.
Jade: "Oh, she's so darling!" (Takes a baby carriage out of nowhere): "I could just put her in my carriage and take a nice stroll around the park."
This causes Lily to blush.
Lily: "But…Lily's a big girl. I can go to the potty all by myself."
Sof: "Sweetie…" (Takes out a pacifier): "You're never too old to be adorable."
And things kept getting worse from there. As more and more toys keep appearing from all over the store, arguing about who gets to be chosen by the child and why. This is starting to be too much for Lily to handle, but she couldn't help but feel bad for these toys. So, she made her decision.
Lily: "I WANT YOU ALL!"
This causes all the toys to stop arguing and look over at her with confused looks.
Toys: "What?!"
Lily (With a smile): "Lily chose all of you to be my new toy."
All the toys surrounding the girl seem to be okay with this answer.
Sheriff (Satisfied): "Well, that's mighty kind of you little lady."
Princess Valentina: "I guess we can all live with that."
Bandit: "But who gets to play with her first?"
Chief Costume: "I say we should get to play with the wee-one first. Isn't that right mon ami?"
Pirate Costume: "Arrgh!"
Mr. Bounce: "No way! I didn't get to show her the rest of the store yet!"
Jade: "She would be more comfortable riding in my baby carriage than bouncing up and down everywhere you go!"
Once again the toys started to argue. However, this time most of them, (with arms), grabbed Lily by the arms and legs and started to pull her towards different directions.
Lily (Looks around): "Mommy! Daddy!"
But Lynn Sr and Rita are nowhere in sight to come and help their daughter.
Lily: "No…"
With all her might, Lily breaks herself free from this game of tug-of-war and makes a break for the exit. Unfortunately, the toys are not going to let her go that easily as they all give chase. It seems like freedom is in grasp, as Lily gets closer to the giant sliding doors.
However, it's all too good to be true, as Lily crashed into the doors. And no matter how hard she pounds, the doors won't open.
Lily: "No…"
And her fate seemed to be sealed. Lily feels someone grabbing her legs and dragging her back into the store. So instead of getting a new toy from the toy store to play with. The toys all got a real little child from the outside world to play with.
Lily: "NO!"
Gasp! Poor Lily… A fate she did not deserve…Sigh…The second-to-last nightmare we'll be seeing is the second-to-oldest of the Loud Siblings…Leni.
