Azami's potato delivery

Azami: *waiting*

Hana: Umph.
Hana: Azami, what are you doing out here in the mailbox?

Azami: Huh? Oh, hi Hana. I'm waiting for the mailman to come back.

Hana: Did you order more boots off of eBay again?

Azami: Nope, not this time. Today I'm waiting for a potato. A little, round, white potato.

Hana: Uweh??

Mailman: *looks at dolls in mailbox, and two humans taking pictures of dolls, sets down package, and carefully backs away*


Azami: Ah! Finally! Now I just need to get down.

Hana: Oh, no, you're not. Just ask Kali to help you.


Azami: WHEEEEEE!!!!!


Hana: Kids, don't try this at home.


Azami: Ta-da! Now c'mon, Hana, get your bald head down here and help me get this box inside.

Azami: It's ok, my little potato, we'll get you out of there right away!

Inside box: *muffled screaming and thumping*


Hana: This.....*push*....box.....is heavy! Just how big is this potato??

Azami: Just keep *shove* pushing!


Hana: I'm *gasp* *gasp* never going to do that again!

Azami: *catches her breath* Thanks for the help, Hana. Kali, I need some help.

Kali: *off camera* I'll go get the knife.

Inside box: Come on, already! Onee-chan, I know you are out there!!!

Azami: Ah, little potato, I'm so glad you're finally here!

Inside box: Why do you refuse to call me by my given name?

Azami: I can't call you a potato?


Azami: But you're all white and squishy!

Inside box: I have your enjo-kōsai money.

Azami: *ahem* Everyone out there in blog-reading land, meet my little sister, Philomena!


Philomena: Thank you, Az. NOW GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!

Azami: I'm trying to!


Azami: Wow, Korean box torture. I really should learn how to do this...

Philomena: Onee-chan! I'm suffocating in this thing!

Philomena: Finally! I'm free! Tadiama!

Azami: Okaeri nasai! I really did miss you, imōto. Welcome to life in the window.

Philomena: I miss you too, onee-chan. Just no more potato jokes, ok?

Azami: You got it, Phil.

Notes:
In case you missed it - and it's sort of obscure, especially if you don't know Japanese - in Japanese, a person would call his/her little sister "imōto" - 妹 (I think that kanji should show up). But "imo" can also mean "potato". And let's face it, in that Cinnamonroll outfit, she sort of does look like the inside of a baked potato. ^_^

Two twelve-ounce dolls trying to move a two pound package doesn't seem like much, but it's more like two adult humans trying to push a 400-500 pound object. I know I'd be a bit winded after that.

The new girl upstairs

The girls enjoy a Sunday night pizza, and discuss their weekend...
Nodoka: And just for that, I made $300!

Alia: *speechless*

Nodoka: Hey, it's a lot better than my other job - I don't come home smelling like cheap beer and feeling like I need to take a shower with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

Azami: Relax, Alia, I know the photographer, he reminds me of Irving Klaw. It's all about the money.

*ding-dong*

Azami: Ah, must be Rena. Come on in! Door's open!

Rena: Hi guys, sorry I'm late. Had to stop at the store. I had a sudden craving for a yaki soba pan.


Azami: No problem, here, let me grab a chair for you and I'll move.

Chani: No sign of the Obitsu yet, Rena?

Rena: No! Kali finally heard back and it hadn't even been shipped yet! Man, if it's not the right color, after all this waiting, I'm going to be pissed!


Azami: It's worth the wait, trust me! No more creaky joints, and the ability to rotate your wrists! You'll love it.


Nodoka: Did you guys hear about the new girl living upstairs? I heard she's a Cornice.

Rena: Cool! Now I can see if I really look like I'm her sister now, like everyone says I do.

Azami: I sent an invite up there for her to come down, but she still might be adjusting...


*ding-dong*

Azami: Oh, that must be her!

Chani: *whipsers to Alia* Azami sent her an invitation?? Oh dear, did you hear about the new girl's wig??

*ding-dong*

Alia: *whispers* Yeah, I heard.

*ding-dong*

Everyone: COME IN!!
*silence*
*long dramatic pause*
*THUD*Azami: *sob* W.....wig!!! *gasp* Giant.....wig.........in my HOUUUUUSEEEEE!!!!!!!! *gasp*

Cornice wig: *silently stares at everyone*

Azami: *cough* RED! *cough cough* COUSIN IT!!!!!! *sob*



Nodoka: *tries to stifle laughing*

Chani: Azami! It's ok!

Alia: Az, you *really* need to get over your bald doll issues.

Azami: *sobcoughsob*


Azami: I'M NOT LOOKING!! I WILL NOT LOOK AT THE HUGE WIG IN MY HOUSE!!!


Cornice wig: *stares at Azami*



The end!

Azami: Heyyyy, this wig isn't so bad after all.

Hana: That's great, but the glue on my scalp is dry now, so can I have it back, please?






Author's notes:

OK, it was funny when we were shooting it at 1 am. ^_^ This was mostly a test of the flash system, which the Husband was happy with, but I still think it's a bit harsh in spots.

If you didn't catch it, you can see the wig in the window behind the couch. I was laughing so hard that I nearly knocked everyone over. O_o Like I said, it was 1 am, and after all, I grew up with re-runs of The Addams Family. So when I saw that wig, Cousin Itt was the only thing I could think of.

And in case you're not up on your bizarre Japanese foods, a yaki soba pan is a roll stuffed with pan fried soba noodles. Noodles inside of bread! That's Japanese food for you.

Hana is the Daughter's Cornice and her first full size Pullip. Thanks again to Wishcandy for letting us adopt her.

Happy Girls Day, everyone! ^_^
