Can You Keep a Secret?

Chapter 9: Is This a Dream? (END)

You hummed as you opened your eyes to see yourself in your bed. You were wearing pajamas with a bathrobe covering. You stretched your arms while yawning, you looked back as you frowned at the dream you had in your sleep.

You suddenly heard your phone vibrate on the nightstand, you took a look at the screen and saw it was Barbie who called you. You got out of your bed, picked up the phone, and answered it.

"(Y/N)?"

"What's up, Barbie?" You greeted as you rubbed your tired eyes.

"Yeah, everything's okay. I feel like I just had the weirdest dream."

"That's strange. I have it too." You replied before you saw a butterfly with colorful wings flying past your face.

"You did, too?" Barbie said with surprise. "Wally's. Half hour. I'll call Ken to meet us too."

"Okay." You nodded your head as you shut down the call and went to change your clothes.

You decided to change your pajamas into a beige sweater with white on the hem of the sleeve along with black tight pants. You wore black heels on your shoes before heading out.

You finally arrived at the Wally's as Barbie and Ken waved to you. You went to sit on Barbie's left as you began to eat the food that you ordered.

"I can't remember any of the details. It's like, it's almost there, but I can't grab it."

"My dream, too." said Ken to you both, "But I know for sure your stylists were in it. Carrie and Taylor, right?"

"Yeah, Carrie and Taylor. They were in mine, too. Oh, it's weird."

You finished chewing your food before you spoke to them about your dream. "But the really weird thing is I have this incredibly strong feeling that in the dream, you and Raquelle became friends."

"Friends?" Barbie and Ken said with disbelief, turning to you.

"Yeah. And I also became friends with you guys as well." You turned your head to Barbie who quickly dismissed it.

"Like she'd ever let that happen." Barbie said before you all turned your heads because of someone familiar speaking up.

"Hey. Mind if I join you? I had a feeling you guys were going to be here."

"Sure, go ahead." You moved your body for Raquelle to sit beside you as you both had a nervous feeling about it.

Raquelle went to sit as Barbie asked out of surprise and looked between her and Ken. "Really? You're not going to sit with Ken and flirt with him?"

"Why would I do that? He's your boyfriend." You were surprised by her answer as your brows lifted. Raquelle looked down at your outfit as she asked you about it. "Oh! Super-cute outfit. Where did you get it?"

You and Barbie exchanged looks with nervousness, making Raquelle ask you both with confusion. "What?"

"Nothing!" You quickly shook your hands and head. "It's just... You're being really nice to us. Normally, you would be snarky at Barbie or scream in my face."

"Believe me, we like it. It's... just different."

"I know, it's weird." Raquelle explained this to you all. "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."

"We had a dream like that, too!" You and Barbie said together as you looked at each other with one brow frowning. "Weird..."

"Very weird."

"Indeed." You added, nodding your head.

"Hey." You looked up to see Carrie and Taylor coming towards you guys. "We thought we might catch the two of you here together."

"You did?" Barbie asked.

"We wanted to stop in... and say goodbye."

"Goodbye? Where are you going?" You asked both of them, frowning.

"We reconnected with an old friend, so we're going to spend some time in our hometown." Carrie answered you.

"It was great hanging out with you guys, though. We know we'll see you again."

"Hanging out with you? But I barely even know you."

Raquelle's words made the two paranoid before she pretended to look at the watch on her wrist. "Uh... Look at the time. Gotta fly. Bye!"

"Bye." Carrie waved her hand before she followed Taylor outside.

You watched both of them leave before Raqulle began to tease Barbie. "Wow. Looks like your stylists skipped town. Guess we know one star who won't shine as brightly on the next red carpet."

"Ahem." You cleared your throat but Barbie only grinned at that.

Raquelle noticed you as she quickly stopped it. "Oopsie! Guess old habits die hard, girlfriends."

She bumped her fist into your forearm before you all laughed together and talked to each other.

Carrie and Taylor walked out of the restaurant as they looked around to see that nobody was around. They both then shushed to the screen with their fingers on their lips, they spun around as the butterfly wings appeared on their backs.

They both flew up to the sky and went through the portal before it disappeared.
