Toby

I made a new friend this weekend. My new friend is named Toby. Toby is a little stuffed dog that Ollie won for me in a clawmachine. Ollie and I didn't go to homecomming, we went out to eat instead. We were then going to have a hotel room rented out but Mike's credit card wouldn't work and neither I or Ollie are eighteen so we can't rent out our own hotel room. Anywho, we went out to eat at California Pizza Kitchen, and then wandered around the mall for a little bit. Neither of us had been to Southdale for a while so we didn't realize there were now clawmachines there. Ollie likes to win me things, so he tried to win me a friend from the machine. The machine was rigged, of course, so it was difficult at first! The claw would pick up an animal, start to bring it over to the entryway to my world, but the grasp the claw had on my friend would losten and he would fall back to his doom. Ollie wouldn't give up though, for he knew I wanted a puppy or dragon or teddy real badly. That is when Toby was chosen. A little brown puppy with a macaroni nose was caught by the claw, and released from his prison. Toby was happy as can be to have a new mommy like me. As Ollie and I crawled into bed that night, we had our new friend Toby to keep us company.

I like how you described snatching Tony from the machine was like rescuing him from a prison. VEry cute and California pizza kitchen is delicious!
