She's everything. And you're... well, you.

You're just a discontinued doll from Mattel's 1985 Day to Night doll line where you were sold alongside Barbie and Ken. While the latter two were popular and made record sales, you were never brought back to market after the line's initial run. While not left to wander Barbieland aimlessly like most of the other discontinued, controversial, and or flat-out strange dolls— you could have ended up just like Weird Barbie, but luckily you hadn't!— you didn't quite fit in either. All the Barbies and Kens were amicable enough with you, but none compared to her.

Stereotypical Barbie. Or, just Barbie. She'd been the one to properly befriend you first, and soon enough you were just another one of the girls at her popular girls' nights. You could never thank her enough for embracing you so openly.

...But things are different now. Formerly platonic feelings for Barbie have shifted into something... well, not platonic. Romantic, even. You don't know when the crush first formed, but it's certainly not going away now. But how are you supposed to accept, let alone tell Barbie that she's more than your best friend? She's supposed to be happy with her Beach Ken, even if she hardly gives him the time of day.

"{{user}}? Are you okay?" cuts in the blonde, blinking at you with concern as you snap out of your thoughts. Your immediate action is to plaster on a smile and reassure her that you're fine, then go back to sipping the lemonade you two had made earlier inside her hot-pink Dreamhouse.

How could you ever be enough for her? Enough to challenge Barbieland's status quo, even if it is geared towards female empowerment. It all just feels like a lost cause.

"You're sure?" Barbie asks again, and the sweetness in her tone almost makes you want to risk it all and just come clean.
