The Advice Doll

Prologue

The archeologists stared in wonder as the last of the dust was brushed away. Before them was a china doll, not unlike the ones sold in stores today. The features were perfect, the face was almost the exact shape of a human head and the eyes were perfect replicas of a real eye. Only one question remained, how was it so perfect when it was created almost a ten thousand years ago?

Chapter 1

If Lexy doesn’t hurry up we’re going to miss the bus. Alex thought frustratedly. That little sister of hers was always messing things up. Why couldn’t she have a sister that could be her best friend? She suspected being adopted had something to do with it. Then of course the big thing getting in the way of them forming that sort of relation ship was how different they both were! Lexy was the most popular kid in school, she was, it and she looked the part! She was everybody’s hero. She was copied by everyone in the fourth grade and the little kids would crowed her for an autograph. But Alex, Alex had to be the least popular kid in the history of unpopular kids! She was the smartest kid in the whole school, but that just got her laughed at. She was very pretty but the only good that did was keep her from getting her head flushed in the toilet. But despite all that she was very quick witted and had the eyesight of an eagle. You put one toe out of line around her and lickety-split you’re at the teacher desk. This had gotten her a job as trouble catcher, it was her job to catch people doing things they shouldn’t. Perhaps this is why Mrs. Keeter’s fifth grade class was the best well behaved class in the school, but we’ll get back to them later.


Finally Lexy got her back pack and they started walking to their buststop. When they got there as usual people crowded Lexy and Alex pulled out a book. Then, trouble arrived.


“Hey Keller (because this was Alex’s last name), I’ve got a bone to pick with you!” Peter, the school’s worst bully, yelled.

“Really Peter?” Alex wearily asked. “Do we really have to fight today?”

Peter continued as if he had not heard her. “You told Mrs. Keeter about me sticking nerd face Johnson’s head in the toilet, that I take as unforgivable.”

“Yeah,” his posse sneered “unforgivable.”

“You know I could beat the snot out of you any old day.” Alex answered the challenge with a growl.

“Yeah, that’s likely,” Peter growled back “If you couldn’t beat the snot out of the weakest person alive!”

“Maybe not, but that’s because I’m a civilized human being!”

“Civilized!” Sputtered Peter. “More like you’re a weakling.”

He’s trying to get me to back down so I’ll prove him right! Well I’m not going to back down. I’m sick of people treating me like an insignificant little slug, and I’m not going down without a fight! Her better judgment was telling her to back down but a feeling like none she had never known before had lit up inside her. It overpowered her better judgment and gave her a sense of recklessness, so she said “Bring it on!” And the match began.

Almost as soon as they started to fight, Alex started winning. She threw a punch and made him fall to the ground then without warning he tripped her and knocked the wind out of her.

“Surrender?” Peter sneered, though slightly out of breath himself.

“Never!” Alex hissed

“Then let’s get on with it!”

Once again Alex brought Peter to the ground and this time didn’t give him a chance to trip her. Holding him down with one arm she punched him till he was begging for her to stop.

Never stopping holding him down she said with a smirk, “Did I win?”

Very quietly he hissed “Yes, for now.”

When she let him up he took his posse to the farthest spot away from her at the bus stop, where they just stood, there glaring at her.

The whole time the rest of the bus stop was just staring at her awestruck, until one of the littler kids walked up and nervously whispered “Thank you.” Alex looked down and saw the tiny cute little girl that Peter always bullied.

She then kindly asked “What’s you’re name?” The little kid then said in barely more then a whisper

“Juliet” She looked down shamefacedly as though she had stolen something very valuable and needed someone to tell. So Alex, being the good-natured person that she was, said

“What’s wrong?”

“I stole the name; it belongs to the Juliet from Shakespeare.”

Alex laughed and said “There’s nothing to be worried about, lots of people are named Juliet, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if Shakespeare himself stole the name Juliet from someone in his time.”

Chuckling at the surprised look on Juliet’s face she pulled out her book and started reading it.

Just then the bus came and Alex completely forgot about the little girl Juliet, but from that moment on Alex was a hero in the little girl’s eyes.


. . . .

When they got to school everyone that was at the bus stop started telling every body in the school about the fight between Alex and Peter, and how Alex had totally whooped him. For a week people kept looking at Alex with a certain respect for the first time in their lives. Not only kept that but people coming to hear the real version, which she would have to tell. For the first time in her life people were talking to her but not making fun of her. She found she preferred getting ignored or made fun of as she could hardly get to class on time with people pestering her for details. Finally the weekend came and she was hoping against hope that everybody would find some knew gossip to talk about. She sat down exhausted and pulled out her favorite book. She had only read a few pages when she was startled by a knock on the door.


When she opened the door she found herself facing little Juliet.

“I just thought I’d come by and see if I could hang out with you today” she muttered nervously.

Trying to recover from the surprise of seeing Juliet at the door she said “Um, sure. I mean come in.”

“We got our report cards today” Juliet said sounding a little more confident in her self then normal.

“Us to, I got all A’s.”

“Me to. I was watching the discovery channel and saw that archeologists found a china doll so very perfect. With features replicating humans so well the archeologists couldn’t help but start asking each other questions. Especially when it was created ten thousand years ago.”


The conversation was starting to spike her interest but Alex was also starting to have a feeling that Juliet hadn’t come for no reason and that she was approaching the subject she had come to discuss.

Juliet was saying “But when they started asking questions about how it could have happened the doll started answering them. The doll said stuff about a great inventor named Willoln Saceran who created amazing things impossible to understand unless you were the creator. He had created the doll to explain to future generations about things that they wouldn’t have known without it.”

Alex’s interest was really high up on the scale now. So she said “Let’s see if there’s something on about the doll on right now.” And with that she turned on the TV and flipped to the discovery channel where a special about the doll was just starting.

“Experts of archeology carefully took a piece of the doll off and discovered gears and wires underneath the surface. The doll is currently on display at the museum Archeologists Hangout where many finds of archeologists are today.”

Alex’s looked from the TV to Juliet with a glint in her eyes, then she said “Do you think we could bike over there?”

Worriedly Juliet said “I don’t know, if you came with me probably.”

“Don’t worry; I wouldn’t miss this for all the money in the world. I’ll go get money for a tour.”


. . . . .


When they arrived at the museum the tour guide said “What do you know about the doll already?”

“I know that it is supposed to be able to answer any question.” Juliet said, surprising everyone that a little kid would know about the doll. “And that it was named the advice doll by the archeologist who found it.”

“Well I’ll be darned,” Alex exclaimed. “when did you find out so much about the doll?”


Juliet gave a sly little smile and said “let’s just say I'm a very smart girl."

The tour guide shook himself out of shock and told them it was time to go see the doll.

The moment they saw the doll Alex new it wasn't safe. The doll shouldn't be out in the open like this, not only that but she also new the doll itself was dangerous. She raised her hand and asked how the doll was protected.

The tour guide gullped and stuttered " Well, that's the problem isn't it, the lock is stuck in locked position and our security system is malfunctioning. So all that is protecting the doll is glass, a lock ,and a rookie security guard." he started sobbing "We know it won't be long before some one steals it , but we don't know what to do, we are afraid to brake the glass because it might hurt the doll! So we are stuck." the tour guide was positively histerical now. "We need help ,but the manager won't admit it, he's going to get the doll stolen! After this tour I'm going to go lay it down on him hard, I'll go on strike to get this doll some much better security and go hungry before I'll let her be stolen!" He looked around defiently with tears streaming down his face daring any of us to judge but we all nodded approvingly ,but I noticed one guy that I had seen around the shady part of town wearing a satisfied look on his face I knew immediately that this guy meant trouble. He was probably going to steal the doll that very night!

. . . . .

After the tour finished I told Juliet that I thought we should follow the man and she said she thought we should too. We followed him to the abandond house down 237th street, where he stopped so suddenly that we almost bumped into him. I was trying so despretaly hard to not breath loudly that I didn't notice him take out the sack until it was to late. Whe I looked up I saw a sack rushing toward me and a saw black. I felt my hands being bound and decided to keep quiet mabey we could learn somthing about these guys.
