She placed the Ken doll in front of Jeff, raising its arms to make some kind of hug pose. “Now kiss your man, Angelica !” she ordered. Jeff moved forward, placing his arms around the doll neck, and pressed his still face against the doll’s one, making them look like kissing. Even if it was just plastic lips put together, Jeff imagined it was real as the doll spirit in him wanted it to be true. “You two are so cute !” said his giggling sister. “Now It is time for a ride !”.
She picked up the two dolls and placed them in a plastic car that was parked in front of the house, the Ken doll as the driver and Jeff on the passenger seat. Suzy made the car ride to some doll furniture’s placed not far away. Jeff saw a table with plastic food and red candles, settled for a romantic dinner. The 10 years old mimicked the conversation between the two dolls, making both the boy and girl voice: ”Eh honey do you like this place” “Oh yes Kyle, it’s so romantic ! You’re so lovely” “Anything for you, my princess” was she saying as she picked up Jeff and his date, made them walk to the table and sit.
Jeff wasn’t really listening what she was saying as he was being played with, like any Barbie doll. While Suzy was imagining their love conversation and how Jeff was telling his date about his life as a model, His spirit was twisted by the boy and girl minds : he was like so happy to be there, admiring his date like any girl in love, and yet he knew something was wrong. He took the hand of the Ken doll, and saw his own perfectly manicured nails. Girl ones. The boy part slowly raised back and Jeff thought : ”I need to get out of here… I don’t want to spent the rest of my life as a girl doll”.
He kinda came back to reality as Suzy announced the dinner was over and picked the dolls up, walking them back to the car. She placed the right arm of the Ken doll around her brother shoulder, and looked at him : “Angelica, be kind to your boyfriend that offered you such a good meal”. With mixed up feelings, Jeff pressed his plastic lips against the doll cheek and rested his head on its shoulder. He both wanted to be the perfect girlfriend to this doll and act the part so her sister would lower her guard and he may escape.
The car took them a little more away, and Suzy stopped it in front of some kind of pedestal. Mimicking the boy voice, she took both of the dolls out of the car and said “Angelica dear, would you give me this dance ?” “Oh yes, I would love it” she replied in a girly voice. Suzy fixed the Ken doll on the pedestal, then picked up Jeff. She smirked and made him do some kind of waltz position with the doll, clipping his heels on the pedestal in front of it, passing one of the doll arm around her brother waist and putting his hand in the second. She adjusted the left arm of Jeff on the doll shoulder and looked at her work with joy “You two lovebirds are so perfect this way ! Enjoy you dance Angelica” she said as she used a key on the pedestal. It began to spin slowly while a classic waltz music started.
Jeff saw the room turning around him as he was kept close to the Ken doll. Even if he was only plastic and couldn’t be sick, he still didn’t felt good by looking the spinning room. He focused on his date’s face. His girl-mind was enjoying a lot this moment “I’m like the happiest girl in the world” he thought. His boy part decided to let such ideas come instead of focusing on the blurring world around him.
After what seemed like an eternity, the music faded, the pedestal slowed down and stopped. Jeff was able to focus on his sister’s room. Suzy was looking at them with playful eyes. “I wasn’t sure if I needed to stop the music, you two seemed such a lovely couple, dancing like nothing else mattered” she giggled and freed the dolls for the dancing spot. She brought them closer and made them hold hands as they seemed to walk together in a romantic way. Suzy was still making their conversation “oh my God Kyle, I had like the best time ever.” “So did I, princess. I couldn’t have dreamt of a more perfect girl” “You’re so handsome” “I love you, Angelica” “I’m like so in love too, Kyle”. Jeff and the Ken doll were made to kiss by Suzy.
The girl made the two dolls face themselves and say goodbye. After a new kiss and “I love you”, she put the Ken doll back in its dollhouse and took Jeff back to the corner where the Barbie dollhouse was. “So Angelica, how was your date ? Did you liked it? I bet you wanna gossip about it with your new girl friends in here.” Suzy dropped her brother in the last floor of the house which looked like a dormitory with doll beds, vanities, dressings. Then she closed the house, locking Jeff inside. “Be nice while I’m away… Don’t worry I’ll be back soon and we’ll start playing again.”
