Milliana 2.0

 (AKA the story of Sally) in which I tell you more about the beloved Milliana...

Before you read this, I highly suggest that you read my old entry, Milliana. If you're too much of a lazy butt to read a whole other entry, then I'll just summarize Milliana as briefly as I can. Milliana is a story character I made up when I was little. I wrote stories about her from Kindergarten throughout third grade. She is named after my kindergarten class pet Millie the Millipede.

Anyway, this is a story about Milliana's - I guess you could say "partner in crime" - Sally. Sally was created by my best friend O (just an initial not a real name). Now O thought it would be a grand idea for Milli here to have a best friend to go through all her adventures with. Naturally, seeing as this idea was introduced to me by O in first grade, the first thought that popped into my head was, "He's copying me!" I didn't want to hurt his feelings, though, so I told him, "Sure!"
   Surprisingly, though, it was not as much of a recipe for disaster as I though it would be. Let me describe the appearance of Sally and Milliana.
   MILLIANA: Long, brunette hair worn down, wore LOTS of pink and messed-up, horribly illustrated high heels.
   SALLY: Curly brown hair, wore sneakers and a buttload of blue.
   It was fun for the time-being.
   That is, until...
   He wrote his OWN sally book.
   I felt a fire-y jealousy building up inside me. I never really listened to my conscience back then. Either that, or I was to young to have one. Most likely the latter. Anyway, here I was, with a finished Milliana book in my hand, and the teacher was over by O's desk and complimenting his book! Yet I was far too old to be envying him like that. So I (unfortunately rather reluctantly) packed up my jealousy and hid it in the cupboard for a few years. That's when it happened in third grade.
   If you read "Giraffie," you know that third grade was a VERY dramatic year. Basically what happened was O used Milliana in a Sally story and I got upset. That was our first fight in all of our seven years of knowing each other. But to me it was more of a mental telepathy fight... we didn't really talk.
