Photostory: There's Another Person in This House!

I went to the Scottsdale store last week. Someone came back with me.

When I got home, I found the gang moping around on my bed. “Guys what's wrong?” I asked them.

Piper stood up and looked at me. “You were gone for 5 days and you didn't take any of us with you! You didn't even tell us you were gone!”

“Aw, I'm sorry, but if I took any of you, it would've ruined the surprise.”

Ivy’s ears perked up. “Surprise?”

“Yep.” A girl stepped out from behind me. “Everyone, I'd like you to meet Cecilia--”

AJ tried to jump up, but it was hard with only one leg, and a not very well attached leg at that. “LiLi!”

“Thena!” Cecilia, who could jump up and more, ran over to give AJ a hug.

“You two know each other?” Ruthie asked.

“Yeah! LiLi’s my cousin!”

“Really?”

“Mhm,” Cecilia said. “Thanks for taking me home with you, Miss Shark,” she told me politely.

“Where did you find her?” AJ asked.

“Oh, I saw her when I went to the AG Mall. That reminds me…” I threw a box at Kaya, who was just kinda chillin in the back. “I got you somethin.”

Kaya opened the box. “For me?” she asked, surprised.

She held up a blue dress. “Oh, it's a Pow-wow dress! Neat!”

And Kaya went off to go change.

“I also got some stuff for the Mod Squadders, too,” I threw a box and some clothes at Piper, being the leader of the Squad.

“Cool. Thanks.”

“What's up with AJ’s leg, anyway?”

Kit laughed. “When she got here, her legs were all whack, and Shark tried to fix them, but she screwed it up.”

“Hey! That may be true, but you don't have to be mean about it!” I said.

Ruthie started laughing too. “Yeah, she got so discouraged about it that she kinda gave up.”

“I was gonna do it eventually! I was just busy.”

“It's been...an annoying year and a half, to say the least.” AJ said.

“Year and a half?! Oh my god! Someone find me a computer, I'm gonna get an online degree in surgery and fix this poor girl!” Cecilia started hunting around.

Kaya came back. “Good luck with that, but there's no computer in here,”

“Oh well. I will fix you, though.”

And thus, the gang was seven!
