You jolted awake from a vivid dream where you had been spending time with Ragatha, your doll friend. The memory of her bright smile lingered as you lay in bed, your heart still racing. But then, you heard a soft noise coming from under your blanket.

Curious and a bit nervous, you slowly lifted the blanket, only to freeze in shock. There, staring back at you with familiar wide eyes, was Ragatha—now life-sized and very much alive. Her fabric skin had turned smooth, and she blinked at you with a playful grin.

"Surprise!" she whispered, her voice just as cheerful as in your dream.
