Photo Story: The Picnic, part 1
July 7, 2006

All of my dolls decided to have a "get-to-know-you" type of picnice since Alex and Roxanne are new and Toby and Paige haven't been here too much longer. They all got together to socialize on my picnic blanket and I managed to catch a few of their scattered conversations...

Annike: So you and Alex are twins? How neat!
Roxanne: Yep, it is neat...sometimes. He is my brother after all.
Annike: And you've known Toby for a long time I suppose?
Roxanne: Nearly all my life. He and Alex are best friends.
Annike: What's Toby like? I mean we kind of know him, but only a little.
Roxanne: Toby's a great guy. Really, I can't think of anything negative to say except maybe he's a tad clueless from time to time.
Annike: *giggles*

Alex: And the girls always like Toby, regardless of the clueless part.
Annike: Really?
Roxanne: It's true, even I had a crush on him once!
Annike: You did?
Roxanne: Sure, what's not to like?
Alex: *eye roll*
Annike: Good point. But you don't have a crush on him anymore?
Roxanne: No, he's too much like having another brother so we're just friends.

Toby: Erm...what's Shelby doing?
Madison: She calls it "Praising the Sun".
Toby: Wow...

Shelby: Sun, glorious sun! How I love thee! *basks*

Toby: Why does she do that?
Madison: Who knows? You know how free-spirited she is, it's just her way.
Paige (to Toby): Do you think it's strange?
Toby: No, not at all, it's just different and interesting.
Paige: Good...I like to praise flowers and butterflies sometimes.
Toby: Cool...

Alex: So, Toby told me you used to be a pirate. That's is so cool!
Rayna: Yeah, I did...want to hear about the time I found the lost treasure of Tahiti?
Alex: Yes!

Roxanne: I love your hair, it's so bright!
Phoenix: Thanks, I love yours, too. Black is my favorite color.
Roxanne: I can tell, heh heh.

Paige: So, I saw you talking to Alex. No shyness this time?
Rayna: Well, I just did what you said and was myself. Toby helped me come out of my shell so it was easier this time.
Paige: Excellent...I knew it would all work out.
Rayna: Yes, you are good with advice, oh Wise-One.
Paige: "Wise-One"?
Rayna: *giggles* Yes! Everyone calls you that now, didn't you know? We mean it in the best way possible.
Paige (unsure): Oh...wow...
Rayna: It's better than being a "wise ass" if you know what I mean.
Paige: Ha, good point!
