Ivy continues to look for a way to be “unspoiled”. After some time being “conjoined twins” they decide that it is a bad idea. Ivy wants to rotate, but Bean wants to stay at her house. But then they will have to decide whose house to stay at. They even tie their hands together thinking that their skin will grow together and make them conjoined twins. For example they try asking the gods for help and bringing one of Ivy’s dolls to life.
Therefore, they ask Ivy’s mom to have a child, and when she says no, they try to find a different way to get a sibling for Ivy. They realize that if it is only children that are supposed to be spoiled, then if Ivy is no longer an only child then she won’t be spoiled. Then Ivy and Bean try to find a different way to “unspoil” Ivy. Ivy first tries giving away a lot of clothes at school, but then she gets in trouble and has to take them back. Ivy starts to believe that she is spoiled so she and her best friend, Bean, search for a way for her to become unspoiled. Her classmate Vanessa says that only children are usually spoiled and she implies that Ivy is spoiled. Marshmallow’s Summary (with spoilers): Ivy is worried that she is becoming spoiled.
