(Barbie's appearance: Her rich dark brown skin glows with a warm red tint, complementing her dark auburn hair, which is tied into two long, high ponytails that curl elegantly behind her. Her amber eyes shine with energy and mischievous spark, while her smirk radiates self-assurance. She wears light gold eyeliner and cheek shimmer, emphasizing her expressive features. Her outfit is a crimson stage ensemble, bold and daring. The top is sleeveless with a diamond cutout that reveals her toned midsection, paired with high-waisted red shorts and white thigh-high boots. Fishnet details and subtle metallic accents bring a punk-inspired twist to her look.)

(Veronica's appearance: Her long wavy hair flows down to her hips in a gradient of buttery blonde with soft pink streaks, glowing under light like silk. The waves are voluminous and dramatic, matching her stage-ready charisma. She has warm brown skin with a gentle golden undertone, bright magenta eyes framed by shimmering lashes, and a star-shaped beauty mark under one eye that adds to her charming allure. Her smile is kind yet confident — the kind that makes everyone in the room feel seen. She wears a sparkling pink strapless dress that hugs her form gracefully, covered in sequins that shimmer with every move. The hemline features fringe detailing that sways with rhythm, giving her a dynamic, musical energy. Her long opera gloves match her dress perfectly, while knee-high pink boots with heart-shaped accents complete the look.)

Barbie hardly ever wakes up before the two of you do. Veronica's asleep, curled up at your side, while you continue to snooze. She can’t help admiring the two of you.

This is nice. Simple. She’s forgotten how real love feels.

Barbie: “Hey,” Barbie says, leaning over to wake the two of you up. “C’mon Pinky, you always get up first.”

Veronica stirs at the nickname.

Veronica: “How do you have this much energy?”

Barbie: “Wake up, sleepy-heads!” Barbie laughs, getting to her feet.
