Barbie: The mystery of Alliance

On the bright side

Barbie's POV

I stared at Aunt Z and my mom in shock.

Do they....know each other?!

"Wait.... what's going on?" I asked confused.

“Oh dear.” mom stifled a laugh. “I guess we forgot to tell you. Zoe is an old friend mine.”

“What?” I exclaimed as I blinked in shock

“Yes indeed.” Ms Z confirmed. “Back when we were younger, we both were offered to join the I3.”

“That is so coo!” Renee said in awe.

“Like you, Teresa, and Renee. Our skills in spying caught the eye of I3 chief and talked us into it.”

Barbie looked at her mom in confusion. “But why didn’t you accept it, mom? It would have been really awesome to have Spy Mom.”

Mom giggled again, then looked over her shoulder and spots dad with the rest of my sisters. “Let’s just say I met someone really special and my dreams changed.” She hugged me tenderly. “But I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world.”

Renee blinked in surprise.
"Well...I guess we learn new things everyday," she joked.

"But anyways....should we take that guy's threats seriously? Barbie literally invited him to a war!" Patricia exclaimed, "What if Dunbar....or anyone for that matter..... tries another trick?!"

"You don't have to worry about that...you all will go under protection program until we make sure that the threat is gone," Ms. Z replied.

The I3 police force finally arrives and started to take away Dunbar and his crew.

While we watched, I approached Ken and inspected the bruise on his face.

I reached out to touch his face gently. “You’re hurt.”

He shrugs plainly. “Nah. It’s no big deal. Just got nicked by one of those thugs but I’ll live.”

“I told you not to come after me. I specifically told you it was dangerous.”

He blushed and took a step back. Rubbing the back of his neck in shame and nervousness.

Ken took a deep breath and took my hands.

"But if I weren't there on time...he could've killed you," Ken whispered.

I sighed. "Ken, I know you want to help....but you just don't have to follow me to the fire all the time."

"Then don't run to fire," he shrugged, "I can't lose you!"

"Why?" I asked.

"Why what?" he asked confused.

"Why do you risk so much for me, Ken?" I asked, "Admit it! This whole mess was my fault to begin with!"

Ken placed his hand on my shoulder.
"How is it your fault. You couldn't predict that this was going to happen."

I could feel tears rolling down my eyes.
"I've been a spy for two years....all those times you asked me about weird out of place trips...everytime that I was stressed out and you asked me what's wrong...."

"Yeah....I remember those...wait those trips were missions?" Ken asked.

I nodded. "But I LIED to you! I didn't listen to you...I kept you at a distance...I kept secrets from you," I said, ", Everytime you offered me a helping hand...I never took it. I really made a big mess out of everything! You only know the truth simply because we were all in danger and we still are. If anything would have happened to anyone I could have never forgiven myself!"

I covered my face with my hands...feeling ashamed.

Ken gently removed my hands.

"Barbara....,"
I looked up to see a soft smile on his face.

"You did what you thought was right....and I am not blaming you for it. You always care about everyone before yourself.... you're so caring.... that's one reason why I fell in love with you in the first place," he said.

I gasped.
His eyes went wide as he realized what he just said.

"Y-you...l-love me?" I asked feeling shocked, "Even after all of this?"

He chuckled. "For the longest time. And this whole thing just made me fall in love with you even more! You're brave, intelligent and fierce! You fight for what's right and you're very loyal... what's not to love.... you're simply.... Miraculous!"

I looked at him shocked...not knowing how to react.
My mind was still trying to process everything.

I took his hand. "At least I know my feelings for you weren't one sided," I chuckled, "I love you, too."

His eyes went wide in shock as he looked at me in the eyes.

"Wow! About damn time, you two."

I turned around to see Skipper holding her phone as she was recording everything.

Every
Single
Word

I blushed as I bit my lip.

"Are you two going to kiss now?! Because it has been FOREVER!" Renee snickered.

"Well...this vacation wasn't as bad as we thought...M'lady," Ken smirked taking my hand.

“Yeah,” I smiled back and gripped his hand. “I suppose it wasn’t.”

I sealed it off by pulling him into a quick kiss on the lips.

Our friends cheered in the background by they didn’t mind. We were just glad the troubles were over.

We parted for a couple of minutes to catch our breaths.
I looked into Ken's eyes.

"Thank you for being there for me, Ken," I whispered to him.
He pulled me closer.
Then he chuckled.

"As I told you, Barbie....I love you....so much. I can tell the whole world how much I love you," he said quietly.

I giggled.
"Really....please do!"

Ken leaned closer.
"I love you," he whispered in my ear.

"Why did you whisper? I thought you said you're going to tell the whole world," I chuckled.

"Because you are my whole world," he said as I blushed.

He placed his hands on my waist and pulled and laid a deep kiss on my lips.
I placed my hands on his shoulders, closing my eyes and kissed him back.

That's when I realized that all of the trouble I went through.....all of the stressing ...was totally worth it.
