The following day, Moxy needed help. If I'm gonna go to the Big World, I'm not going alone. She thought as she knocked on Luckybat's door. He kindly let her in and prepared her a cup of tea.
"So Moxy tell me, what brings you here today?" Lucky asked the pinkish red Uglydoll.
"I was up all night thinking... how could a dream come true if you don't dream with your friends?" Moxy replied, a big smile growing on her face.
"I don't quite follow..." Lucky refilled his tea.
"Maybe if we all share the dream of going to the Big World... maybe we could all end up there somehow." Moxy had finished her cup of tea.
"That's not how it works Moxy, I love your enthusiasm but... this is the advice I have now: Find your own truth." Lucky smiled at Moxy.
"Woah... that's so helpful! You're so right! The answer is in me! In some way somehow. But first... could you read my tea leaves?" Moxy smiled kindly at her friend.
"I... um, I'm not very good... at reading tea leaves... but I can read your forehead instead!" Lucky said a bit shy.
"C'mon Lucky, give it a try! For me?" Moxy begged using cute puppy eyes.
"I guess I can try..." Moxy pushed her cup over to Lucky and he looked at it nervously. "You...?"
"Me? You mean me right?" Moxy swiped the cup from Lucky. "So it's not about what you see but what I see!"
"I guess you could say that." Lucky let out a nervous chuckle.
"These leaves ar- wait! Leaves? Leave! I have to leave! My kid doesn't need to find me but I'm the one who needs to find my kid!" Moxy grabbed Lucky's wing, praising him about how wise he was.
They ran all over Uglyville gathering their friends. Uglydog, Wage and Babo.
"What is all the commotion about Moxy?" Wage asked, crossing her arms.
"Every new doll arrives here, so if we're going to find the Big World. It's only logical, we start here." Moxy replied with her usual smile.
"Moxy, I don't think it's a good idea to look for the Big World...?" Luckybat questioned, he was a bit guilty since he felt like he was the one who encouraged Moxy in the first place.
"C'mon just a quick peek? I promise we'll turn back afterwards!" Moxy had a hand crossed behind her back, she definitely wasn't going to turn back. Their journey was just beginning.

The Uglydolls found themselves in a place they had never seen before: The Institute of Perfection.
"Perfection? What is that? Some kind of pastry?" Wage asked.
"Maybe it's a type of tool?" Babo implied.
"A thing that makes you become a walking chick magnet?" Uglydog peered through his sunglasses.
"A whole new level of wisdom perhaps?" Luckybat suggested.
"Hey! There are dolls here! Let's go greet them and maybe we can ask them what perfection is." Moxy was already skipping inside the Institute.
Her friends followed, but as soon as they got through the gates. Everydoll started to scream and panic. The robots seemed chill, well... they knew the rules.
"Wow, it definitely is a customary greeting here." Lucky said and Moxy agreed. He jumped infront of a blonde female doll and screamed in her face, causing her to faint.
The Uglydolls proceeded to walk until they were stopped by a pink haired doll with low half pigtails. She was looking at them with an 'ew! gross!' expression.
"Hello... may I help you? You seem lost, the trashcans are that way." She said with a bit of sass.
"FYI, we're not lost pinkie! I thin- no! I know you came out of the trashcans. Your dirty attitude stinks." Wage replied getting dangerously close to the doll.
The two dolls looked at each other like a storm was brewing between them. The silence stopped when they both started to laugh.
"You're alright pinkie." Wage complimented... maybe?
"You're not so bad yourself, by the way I'm Kitty. Welcome to the Institute of Perfection." Kitty replied with a small smile.
"So that portal over there goes to the Big World?" Moxy asked, a dreamy sigh escaped her mouth.
"You bet! But I don't think you all meet the requirements to even be here." Kitty said in a monotone voice.
"What do you mean? Also are you seeing someone?" Uglydog asked, a smug look on his face.
Kitty was about to speak when she saw Lou, Lydia, Tuesday and Mandy approaching them. She then pretended to be in a argument with the uglies.
"Can't you hear me!? You don't belong here! Oh hey Lou... girls. I was just telling these uglies to leave." Kitty smiled nervously.
The Uglydolls quickly caught on... all except for Babo. "What? Yo-" Wage slapped her hand over his mouth.
"We were just leaving." Wage gritted her teeth... fangs, whatever.
"No we're weren't!" Moxy protested. All of the Prettydolls gasped, from Kitty and Mandy it was a fake gasp. "We are staying here and we're not gonna turn back now!"
"Keep on dreaming ugly... only Prettydolls are allowed to train and run the gauntlet. Rules... are rules." Lou finally spoke, in a cold tone.
"What rules are you on about exactly?" Moxy asked, not bothering to look up at Lou.
A robot glided to them holding a huge book. "Did someone say rules? It says right here in Section 48, rule 179 paragraph 15: Any dolls that arrive at the Institute of Perfection should be allowed to train for the Big World."
"What!? Let me see that!" Lou grabbed the book from the robot and read the page all over again. "That can't be true? Am I reading this correctly?"
"Looks like Mr Perfection, whatever it means, doesn't know all of his rules." Moxy teased.
"Shut up you pink ball of fur!" Lou growled at her.
Moxy just looked at him with an amused expression and smiled innocently. Lou was burning up inside, was he now stuck with these uglies for five days until the gauntlet? He hated the fact that he was going to teach them.
