“How do you like it, Dolly?” Asked Suzy as she pressed the button again. “I love to dance!” said the speaker. Jeff was overwhelmed again by girly thoughts, picturing himself dancing with a cute boy, and felt happy with it. The boy spirit, who had grew a little louder as the button was left untouched, became almost mute as the girly mind took over one more time.“I bet you do… now that you are all cute, you need a boyfriend !”
She picked him up and brought him in a corner of her room where her doll stuff was. Jeff was growing impatient “I am like so happy right now” he thought “This dress is so pretty. I can’t wait to meet my date !”. Suzy dropped her new doll on the first floor of a big Barbie dollhouse. There were other Barbies inside that were made posed like drinking tea, trying on clothes or taking care of their hairs. “Stay here while your date gets ready. Get used to it Dolly, it will be your new house” Said Suzy as she went away in the room, picking doll stuff and moving some smaller dollhouse.
His girl-mind still taking the lead due to the recent pressing, he wandered in the house, unable to get out since there were no stairs to reach the ground floor. He passed in front of dolls who looked just like him, even if they didn’t moved and had different outfits. He admired their dresses then took a fake cup of tea and sat with two other dolls, pretending to gossip with them about his date to come. He could hear Suzy move in the room. He was wondering what his sister was planning for him.
As times passed, Jeff recovered some of his spirit. Like slowly waking up, when the dream and the real aren’t totally distinguishable, he looked around. He was a Barbie girl… or was he ? He was Suzy big brother, not her doll. He looked in a mirror and saw Barbies sharing a cup of tea. But the one in the pink dress was him. “This dress fits me like so well” told a girly voice in his head “My date will love it”. The date her sister was getting ready. It suddenly hit him: he do was his sister’s doll right now, and she intended to treat him like one. He needed to get back to the Chronivac and return to his normal self. He dropped the plastic cup of tea and stood up, going to the nearest window to see if he could escape. He tried to fight the girly voice that seemed so happy in this dollhouse. The plastic widows couldn’t be open. He looked around and knew he was trapped for now as he was seeing no way of escaping.
He heard stomping as his sister was coming back with a huge smile. “it’s all set !” she said, picking up Jeff. “You’re ready for your first date with an awesome man, Dolly?” She pressed the button again and as Jeff felt girly thoughts come back and take over. "Like, I'm going on a date with Kyle next week!" Said the speaker. Jeff started thinking about boys again, and how he was happy to meet one. Suzy grinned : “hmm deal. So Kyle it is. You’ll have your second date next week, but now… you need to meet him !”.
As she took him where she had prepared everything, she looked at her Barbie doll brother. “hmm I give all my Barbie a name and background… you need those too, especially if you are about to meet your future husband !” She stopped a second to think then finally said “While you are my doll, you’ll be… Angelica ! You’re a model, seeking for true love”. Jeff was so happy right now, he had a name and accepted without question what Suzy said : he was Angelica and wanted to meet his love one.
His sister posed him in front of her, facing a small light blue dollhouse. “This is the boys house, you should never come here unless to meet your boyfriend.” Suzy told him. She opened the door and took a Ken doll out of the house. He was wearing a white shirt with a navy blue jacket, shirt and brown shoes. “He looks handsome. I’m like so in love” thought Jeff as he was looking at his date plastic blond short hairs, perfects face, blue eyes and smile. “Angelica, meet Kyle, your new boyfriend.” giggled Suzy.
