Anna loved to design dresses for her dolls. She used paper, scissors, glue and stickers to make them look pretty. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair and a charming smile.
One day, Anna's mom told her that she had to go to the doctor for an exam. Anna was scared. She did not like the doctor. He always made her open her mouth and looked in her ears with a bright light. He also gave her shots that hurt.
"Mom, I don't want to go to the doctor. Can I stay home and play with Lily?" Anna asked.
"No, sweetie, you have to go. The doctor will check if you are healthy and strong. It will be over soon, I promise. And you can bring Lily with you, if you want," Mom said.
Anna thought for a moment. She did not want to leave Lily alone. Maybe Lily could help her be brave. She nodded and hugged Lily.
"Okay, Mom. I will go to the doctor. But can I wear the new dress I designed for Lily? It has pink flowers and a bow."
"Of course, honey. You and Lily look very beautiful in your dresses. Come on, let's go. The doctor is waiting for us," Mom said.
Anna and Lily got in the car and went to the doctor. Anna held Lily tight and hoped it would not hurt too much. She was glad she had her best friend with her.
