I hesitate for a moment and someone grabs it. She looks at it as i anxiously wait around for her to make up her mind. She puts it down and I see the person right next to her looking at it. she looks at me, i look at her... and even though she was closer to the bag, i reach out and i GRAB it. (i'm sorry if i stole a bag you really wanted but i REALLY WANTED A NIKKI! SORRRRRRRRRRYYYY!!!!!) i felt so awful for snatching it away but i really wanted it!

So that's the story about Nikki #1. The black resort nikki.

At this point everyone is milling around with all the good stuff. the ruby mini nikkis were GONE, so were the black mini nikkis. to make matters worse, so many people were holding on to their OCEAN NIKKIS... i really wanted an ocean and a yellow nikki and i was crestfallen! I thought i was going to cry because everyone had an ocean nikki except me... so my friend gave me an idea to just hang around people who had the ocean nikkis and looked like they were going to change their mind. i finally see a lady look at her ocean nikki and walk towards the nikki table... i rush over to see if she will put it down and I hear her say to her boyfriend, "so i guess i'm putting it down for good." my heart LEAPS and before she sets the bag down, (I SEE OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING AT IT LUSTFULLY and my reflexes are slow so someone else might grab it before me!) I ask her, "you don't want it? can i have it please?" and she hands it over to me!!!!!! incredulous, i ask her again, "You sure u don't want it?" and she replies "I'm sure." and her boyfriend starts laughing at me because i can't stop thanking her!!! So if it's you who kindly gave you your ocean nikki to me, please give me a holla! i will name my firstborn child after you!!!!! (:

ok, enough of the stories... please enjoy ladies!

haha, so THAT was the scuffle over the black nikki.

Good stories.. it's cool to hear everyone else's perspective. :)

Hi Luna - I think that was me with the Ocean Nikki!! Did the boyfriend have wavy brown/blond hair? I imagine he must have been smiling behind me as I handed the Nikki over to someone who thanked me profusely (you?). If so, I really hope you enjoy it!
