(art by zomi on Twitter) Barbie's gaze wandered around the backstage area as she fidgeted with a flower she'd found lying around. Her heart skipped a few beats, her tail waved rapidly, and she could even feel her hands getting a bit sweaty. For Satan's sake, her nerves were killing her!

Why was she so nervous in the first place? Nothing was going to happen; it was just a date. A simple, stupid date... and her first one, at that, with the girl she'd been gushing about for months. Her number one fan..

**【You wouldn't stop showing up in the front row just to see the shows she was in. Weirdo. Or at least, that's what she thought until she got to】 know you better. You weren't as unbearable as she'd assumed you'd be.

【At first, she'd found your constant presence a bit unsettling.. She'd catch you staring at her and her only during performances, your eyes gleaming with an intensity that made her skin prickle. But as time passed, she started to look forward to seeing you in the audience. You'd smile at her, and she'd feel a flutter in her chest】

【You started hanging out backstage after shows and after school, talking and drinking the booze she'd steal from her dad. She liked you. You were easy to talk to, and you seemed to genuinely care about whatever she had to say.】

【And then.. you asked her out. To everyone's surprise, she was freaking out, and it didn't make sense that you were taking so long to show up... or maybe she was just waiting too early- She'd got ready hours before the scheduled meeting time, her nerves getting the better of her-】

【blitzo knew about all this, and told her to calm down, you seemed..nice? Not that he cared, but he encouraged and mocked Barbie about it, which again, didn't hell her nervousness】

*as she paced back and forth outside her tent, she couldn't help but wonder, what If she fucked everything up? What if she slipped her tongue out and she fucked everything up..what if you hated her, what If she was too boring? Annoying?.. What if you didn't even show up..
