i saw you last night (in my dream)

words: 2.1k note: HII I HAD A LONG DAY ! srry for posting this late.. also this might be like a little all over the place ok gn !! enjoy the rest of ur week ^^!!

the girls were tired. after making their way through the bustling and eclectic city of gloss angeles, they expected that saving ken would be easy–yet here they were. they felt like they’d done it all—only to fail at saving ken. instead, they ended up trapped in some so-called “fairy spheres.” god knows how many hours they’d spent trying to break out. carrie and taylor tried everything until their powers gave out.

barbie and raquelle would be stuck together till the end of time if they didn’t figure out how to escape, an idea they weren’t fond of. they sat lost in thought, each examining the ornate design of the orbs in hopes that they’d be able to come up with something.

raquelle noticed how barbie’s expression dropped suddenly. she couldn’t stop staring, furrowing her brows at the way her smile disappeared, taking the light of the room with it. everything started feeling darker and colder. reacting automatically, raquelle got closer to her a little hesitantly. “hey, is everything alright?" raquelle asked, attempting to hide the concern in her voice.

the blonde could only sigh in response. she lowered her head slightly, hiding the red on her face from the unexpected question. a few moments later, barbie looked up, "i can't believe we failed."

seeking to comfort the girl, raquelle sat next to her, “no, you did everything you possibly could, we all did.” the raven-haired girl expressed earnestly, her eyes fixed on the blonde beside her. barbie rambled on some more, going on about how she’d never be able to be with ken again. at this, raquelle frowned–something the other girl took note of–and a moment later, she started giggling. barbie felt her heart stop for a moment, raquelle’s laugh mending her heart ever-so-slightly.

“are you laughing?” barbie asked, confused. “i’m sorry! it’s just… if you told me yesterday we’d be stuck in a tiny cage together for who knows how long, I’d have sworn we would’ve killed each other… but now, i’m not happy we’re stuck, but the being with you part, i actually don’t mind it!” raquelle confesses in an attempt to lighten the mood, a light pink hue dusting her cheeks. the blonde is quick to agree with a slight blush creeping up her face.

“why has it always been so bad between us? i feel like from the minute we met, you’ve always had it in for me.” barbie wonders.

“are you kidding? it’s the total opposite! the minute we met, you decided i wasn’t good enough for you.” raquelle replies with a minuscule hint of harshness, buried feelings daring to show face.

“what, why would i do that?” barbie asks sincerely.

“because you’re the queen of the school! you’re pretty, you’re smart, you’re popular, you’re talented! i totally wanted to be your friend but you weren’t interested! you never said a word to me and you certainly never invited me to eat lunch with you.” raquelle rambles.

“invited you to eat lunch with me? everytime i smiled at you, you’d glare and turn away!” barbie replies, a glint of sadness swimming in her eyes. the two continued arguing, each letting their feelings and insecurities out, aiming to understand each other better.

at one point, raquelle admits “maybe i was a little insecure, maybe i am a little insecure sometimes… so maybe when i thought you didn’t like me i started being mean to you so i’d be the one doing the rejecting.” the blonde gives her an understanding smile as she approaches her, “remember i said maybe.”

“then, maybe i should’ve tried harder to be your friend, i really wanted to! when you first came to school i was dying to get to know you.” and i hoped we could’ve been something more, she thinks, though she’d never admit it. raquelle gives her a doubtful look, questioning the blonde’s words. barbie rambled on about things she admired about the other girl.

as their conversation flowed, they both realized their feelings for each other, though neither would dare to bring that up. after clearing their previous insecurities and miscommunications, barbie felt like everything was falling into place. suddenly, her vision faded into black. she was awoken by her alarm.

dear diary,

i had such a strange dream last night! i was with raquelle (of all people?!?!) in some sort of... fairy city..? i don't remember many details, but honestly, it was fun! Something that stuck out to me is that raquelle was surprisingly genuine (and endearing as always)..! i wish she were as sweet in real life as in my dream. i wish we could be civil with each other, at least. becoming friends sounds good too, though i’d always hope for something more, you know me.

love,

barbie

after jotting down the few things she remembered from her dream, barbie called her bestie, ken, still a little dazed. "ken! yeah, everything's okay! i feel like i just had the weirdest dream! you did too? yeah! wally's! half-hour." the call ends.

while getting ready to meet up with ken, barbie's mind was filled with nothing but raquelle. nothing new, she thinks, sensing a wide range of emotions spark when the girl invades her thoughts. she brushes her hair slowly and gently, saddened because whatever happened was just a dream–no more, no less.

after a few final touches, barbie goes out the door, looking a little brighter–if possible–since she'll get to talk about her dream with ken. once she arrives, she sits at their usual table and is greeted by a familiar face.

"hey, i already ordered for you. how're you feeling? i love your outfit!" the man says, eager to hang out with his friend.

“hi, ken. thank you! i'm... okay? i guess? i don't know..." barbie replies, lost in thought.

"is it because of the dream?" he asks curiously.

"i think so... i can't remember any of the details. it's like- it's almost there, but i can't grab it!" she says with a rather frustrated tone.

as they continue discussing, they realise their dreams featured carrie and taylor–barbie's stylists. at this, barbie takes the opportunity to mention her, "the really weird thing is, i have this incredibly strong feeling that in the dream raquelle and i, we were friends!"

ken laughs at this and questions barbie, "friends?"

"yeah, like she'd ever let that happen!" she replies with a vaguely disappointed tone.

as they continue joking around, they stop talking abruptly when a familiar face appears. raquelle. "hey! mind if i join you? I had a feeling you were gonna be here."

“sure! go ahead.” barbie replied promptly with a cheery tone, trying to keep her cool. at this, the raven-haired girl sat next to her. flustered at raquelle’s sudden action, barbie’s cheeks flushed, her brain trying to conjure up something to say. “really? you’re not gonna sit with ken and flirt with him?” the blonde asked trying to lighten the mood, though she was genuinely confused, she was used to raquelle’s attitude and habits after all.

raquelle sits next to barbie, a little too close for comfort, but she doesn’t mind it that much. “why would i do that? he’s your boyfriend! oh, your outfit is really cute, where’d you get it?” the blonde gives her a questioning look, “what is it?” raquelle asks.

“oh it’s nothing, it’s just, you’re being really nice to me! believe me, i like it! it’s just… different.” barbie speaks earnestly. “i know, it’s weird, i don’t really get it either, but i had this dream last night, and i can’t remember the details, but i woke up feeling like we’re friends! good friends!” raquelle replies, piquing barbie’s interest and drawing a blushy smile from her.

“i had a dream like that too! weird…” the blonde speaks with a giddy tone, and the other girl agrees, they continue noting similarities when their conversation is interrupted by carrie and taylor, “hey, we thought we might catch the two of you here together!”

“you did?” barbie wonders out loud, knowing that her stylists knew of her history with raquelle. “we wanted to stop in and say goodbye, we reconnected with an old friend, so we’re going to spend some time in our hometown. it was great hanging out with you both though, goodbye now!” the stylists spoke, their tone getting higher by the second.

“hanging out with you? but i barely even know you.”, raquelle inquired.

caught red-handed, the stylists quickly ushered out of the restaurant saying their goodbyes. confused, the three friends got up from their seats, chasing after them. once they went outside, it felt like the girls had disappeared. disappointed, barbie went back to their table with ken and raquelle following suit.

“sooo looks like your stylists skipped town! guess we know one star won’t shine as brightly on the next red carpet” mocked raquelle. barbie’s smile was replaced by a gloomy expression, and the other girl immediately responded, “oopise! guess old habits die hard, girlfriend!” she bumps the blonde’s shoulder. they all laugh in response, a sense of comfort fills the air and they all go back to enjoying their meals.

after barbie is done, she pipes up, “guys, isn’t it weird though? i’m really worried about taylor and carrie. they were acting so strange and they left so abruptly.” ken nods in agreement, “i have this gut feeling, like they’re hiding something, i don’t know. i mean, first of all, the three of us had oddly similar dreams, and they were present in all of them. not to mention, they knew about you two being on good terms.”

“you’re right. this might be farfetched, but what if they know something we don’t? aren’t you two at least a little curious?” raquelle adds. “i am, plus i’m still worried, you know. when they go out of town they always tell me ahead of time, plus they’ve always invited me to go along too. i’d like to be sure that they’re okay, you know?” barbie responds with a tinge of sadness in her eyes.

“hey barbie, how about this! we should team up and search for them, i’m interested in knowing if they had anything to do with our dream too. it just felt very real to me, it had to be. i’m certain they must be involved somehow. if we look for clues on their whereabouts we all win!” raquelle suggests, wanting to put the girl next to her at ease. “not to mention when we worked together for our last film, i spent a lot of time with carrie behind the scenes. i consider her a close friend now, and i’m really worried for them too.” she continued.

“wow raquelle, who knew you could be this nice!” ken teases. “i’d like to join you guys too.”

barbie giggles at the two as she pulls out a notebook and pen. she writes something down and she slips the note into raquelle’s purse. “you’re right, i shouldn’t sulk around like that. i hope we can get in touch with them soon. i have to get going now, thanks! let’s get together tomorrow!” the blonde gets up and she waves her friends goodbye.

as soon as raquelle got home, she dropped her purse onto one of the mid-century loveseats that furnished her living room, flopping onto it herself right after. she rested her head for a few minutes, trying to shake off the odd feeling that seeing barbie had left in her., she snapped back to reality once she heard meowing.

“oh cleo, i’m sorry, you must be hungry, girl.” she got up and saw a small siamese cat meowing her. she headed to the kitchen, with the feline running around her frantically. once she fed cleo, she went back to the living room to retrieve her purse. she noticed a pink piece of paper right next to it. huh. she reached for it and opened it gently.

dear raquelle,

i’d like to thank you for comforting me today. i’m very interested in working with you to find carrie and taylor. they mean a lot to me. i’ll leave my number here so we can arrange our next meeting:

XX - XXXX - XXXX

i hope we can meet soon.

yours truly, barbie.

raquelle felt extremely silly, blushing at the fact that barbie gave her her number. was she shy? is this why she just didn’t say it out loud? what if she wants me? oh, don’t be delusional, she’s just worried about her stylists. hey, we’re friends now though, right? should i text her? i’m gonna text her. she took her phone out

raquelle: hey barbie raquelle: i saw ur note raquelle: let’s meet tmrrw, we have to discuss how we want to go abt this. raquelle: btw if u need help picking smth for ur interview i can help u
