Saving the Best for Last

Nana was at the Honeyville Mall with her new Candonite friend, Alyssa. They had already been there for an hour and didn’t have too much longer before Alyssa’s mother was going to pick them up in their limousine hover car. Nana explained that Alyssa was from a very wealthy Candonite family. Alyssa’s mother and father were inventors. There was a history of inventors in her family, every generation having successful inventors on both sides. Alyssa’s mother and father were the most well-to-do because they were two geniuses who married one another. Alyssa was extremely disappointed because she believed she didn’t inherit the inventing gene.

“It was as though the mall stores knew what a customer would be interested in purchasing,” Nana said, reminiscing. “I walked up to a pet store display window and saw the cutest little white chocolate bunnies hopping around. The other display window was empty. After I admired the little animals for a few seconds, mechanical hands appeared. They pointed at me and moved up and down the length of my body from the other side of the glass. When they were done, they held up a finger as if to say, ‘wait here.’ The mechanical hands disappeared into the pet store and brought back something to the empty display window. It contained the perfect pets for me if I were going to be leaving with a pet that day. It was a tank full of lollipop tropical fish and gummy guppies. I just adore fish. I told the mechanical hands, ‘Thank you, but I can’t take the fish home.’ Alyssa insisted there was another place we had to see before her mother picked us up, the toy store. Smack dab in the middle of the mall, Mr. Maxwell’s Toy Store was a large cylinder-shaped store three stories high. No one ever went to the mall without at least peeking in the windows.”

“I want to go there,” Henry said, his mouth practically watering.

“I haven’t even told you the best parts yet,” Nana giggled, opening her eyes.

“Close those eyes back up. Let’s not forget our original intentions for hearing your story,” Mrs. Fischer reminded everyone. From then on no one interrupted, except to announce when they were switching lookouts for Goaltan and the Peblars.

Nana shut her eyes and returned to her storytelling. “It was unlike any toy store I had ever seen. The window constantly changed and displayed a different toy scene. Alyssa advised me to keep moving or the mechanical arm salesman would appear. Once inside, the first thing I noticed was that off to the left Candonite children were giggling as they got on pogo sticks and shot straight up to level two or three of the toy store, without using elevators or stairs. I heard laughter from the right side and saw three giant slides that intertwined around each other and stopped at each level of the store. Children were sliding down merrily to their floor destinations.” Nana’s body and hands helped the story along with movement as she told it.
