Third Person's POV

*When Charli and Summer were 5 years old.*

A young brunette girl was humming a song and full of concentration to help her favorite blonde Barbie to put the dress on. She said patiently to the doll, "Come on, Barbie. Put this on and be ready to date Ken."

After she put a pink dress onto the Barbie, she gently used the comb to comb its hair and finally put a pair of matching heels on it. The brunette girl held her Barbie to have a look and grinned in victory, "Yay! My Barbie is pretty. You can out for a date now."

The older brunette was smiling as she walked into the playroom joined next to the younger brunette and beamed, "Oh my sweetheart. You're happy with your little Barbie well dress up, aren't you?" she gently pecked at the top of her daughter's head as she side hug her.

The younger brunette giggled and said, "Yes mom." She tilted up her head to look at her mum and asked, "Do you think Barbie looks good in pink?"

The mum chuckled at her daughter's little passion for her little masterpiece. She gently caressed her daughter's head and smiled, "Of course, sweetheart. Barbie looks good in any dress too."

The daughter grinned in anticipation and said, "You're right, mom!"

Their little conversation was interrupted by the doorbell, the mom planted a kiss on her daughter's forehead and said gently, "Mom will be right back. Stay here and don't go anywhere."

"Yes mom!" the younger brunette salutes to her mum as she back to pick other nice dresses for her other Barbies.

The older brunette chuckled as she walked toward the front door to peek at the door hole. She saw a pair of blonde mother and daughter who were new to her and they seem like the newbies in this town.

Nonetheless, the brunette opened the door without any hesitation be ready to greet the newbies. "Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'm Cassandra. You seem like new in this town." The brunette said as she extended her hand to the older blonde and smiled warmly at the younger blonde.

The older blonde smiled as she gladly handshake Cassandra, "Hi, it's nice to meet you, Cassandra. Yea, we just shifted here today and we're staying next door to you."

"I'm Sandra and this is my daughter, Summer," Sandra said as she indicated her daughter next to her as Summer greet Cassandra with a wide grin, "Hi! Nice to meet you, aunt Cassandra."

Cassandra chuckled lightly as she gently caressed Summer's head and said, "Nice to meet you too, sweetie." Summer giggled at Cassandra as Sandra quickly said, "I'm so sorry about my daughter is being chatty."

Cassandra waved Sandra off and said, "No, she's lovely. I prefer a child is being lively. My daughter is quiet." She opened wide the door as she stood aside and tilted her head to welcome the blondes and said, "Come in, if you're not in a hurry. I'll make teas for us."

Sandra smiled as she handed a jar of cookies and said, "This is our homemade cookies, I hope you'll like it."

Cassandra chuckled and said, "Oh, that's lovely, but you don't have to."

Sandra grinned as she said, "No, just take it. It's our little gift for our new neighbor." Cassandra finally took the cookies and thanked her as she said to Summer, "Do you want to meet my daughter, Summer? She will like you for sure."

Summer grinned and said excitedly, "Of course, where is she?" Cassandra chuckled as she called her daughter out loud, "Charli, come over here. I want you to meet Summer. And you're going to like her."

"Charli!!!" Summer yelled out her name as she quickly walked to search for Charli by herself, and the mothers were laughing at her. "Charli is in the playroom and you'll find her after you turn left," Cassandra said loud enough for Summer to hear as Summer very soon found Charli in the playroom.

Charli was still busy dressing up other Barbies as Summer ran towards her and yelled excitedly, "Hi Charli!" Charli was startled a little with the energetic voice as she turned to look at the person.

When Charli's blue eyes reached Summer's green eyes, she was stunned by Summer's pretty face. Charli was staring at Summer in awe with her mouth slightly parted.

"Hi, you look so pretty like a Barbie." That was what Charli first thing said to the blonde. Charli started giggled at Summer and admiring the blonde's pretty face with a simple light green sundress.

Summer's facial expression turned into a flat face as she rested her hands on her waist and snorted, "My name is Summer, and I'm not a Barbie."

The more Charli staring at Summer, the more she was getting to think Summer look exactly like the Barbie. She said with giggled, "Hi Summer, but you really look like Barbie."

Charli took a fully dressed Barbie which was wearing the emerald green dress as she showed it to Summer and explained patiently, "You see, you have the same hair color with them. You have green eyes, and your eyes lashes are looooong like them." She stared at Summer and smiled, "Can I call you Barbie?"

Summer whined, "Nooo! Don't call me Barbie!" she huffed with pursed her lips and demand loudly, "I want you to call me Summer!"

"What's the matter, Summer?" Sandra asked as she stared at her daughter sternly while Cassandra was next to Sandra as she was staring at the two with confusion washed over her face. Because this was the first time Cassandra heard her daughter making noise with other people.

Summer explained to her mum innocently, "My name is Summer, but Charli keeps calling me Barbie." Summer stared at Charli grumpily.

Sandra and Cassandra burst out laughing at how baby their children. Cassandra walked toward her daughter and advice her gently, "Charli, this pretty girl's name is Summer. So, you have to call her Summer, alright?"

Charli pouted her lips and said a little hint of disappointment, "Fine, mom." Charli stared at her mum and asked, "But mum, why can't I call her Barbie? She really looks like Barbie."

Cassandra gently tapped her daughter's nose and said patiently, "Sweetheart, if Summer prefers you call her name, then you have to be polite to her."

Charli exhaled from her nose with her face down as Cassandra beamed, "Come on, be a good girl, sweetheart. Summer is a good girl too." Cassandra caressed her daughter's head and said, "Don't you feel happy that you're going to have a new friend who likes you too?"

Charli eventually smiled as she nodded her head to her mum and said, "Okay, mum." She turned her attention to Summer as she extended her hand and said, "Hi, I'm Charli. It's nice to meet you, Summer."

The blonde finally back to her good mood as she giggled and gladly handshake with the brunette, "Nice to meet you too, Charli. Can we play Barbie now?"

Charli nodded her head and said, "Sure. Let's help them to dress up." Summer grinned as she took Charli's hand to pull her along with her to play the Barbies.

*****************

The playground in the park was full of kids chatter and running around. A short blonde hair boy suggested, "Let's play a wedding game, and Summer you play as my wife."

The blonde girl gagged in distaste, "No, that's ewwww! I don't want to be your wife. Adrian." She simply held her hand on the brunette girl's forearm to pull her closer as she added, "Charli will be my husband."

The brunette quickly said, "No, Summer. I'm a girl and I can't be your husband." Charli hummed and said, "But, I can be your wife."

Summer whined, "No way! I will be the wife and you be the husband."

"Why can't we be wife and wife instead?" Charli retorted.

Summer groaned as she said impatiently, "There cannot wife and wife in a wedding, Charli. The wedding must be husband and wife." Summer shook Charli's arm and said, "It's just a game, Charli." Summer shot Charli puppy eyes and pleaded, "Please, just be my husband and I don't want Adrian to be my husband."

Charli surrenders as she sighed and said, "Fine, only for this game I be your husband."

Summer grinned, "Yay! Thanks, Charli! Adrian, you be the pastor."

Adrian frowned as he said in an upset, "No, I don't want to be a pastor. I want to be a husband." He threw up his hands and said, "I'm out." He stormed away from them.

Charli shrugged and said, "We can pass this game, seem he already left."

"No way, I still want to play. You still have to be my husband, Charli." Summer insisted as she said, "Come on, let's find someone to be our pastor." Charli sighed as she had no other option and she just let Summer pulled her along.

They eventually found one of their friend, a ginger girl to be a paster. The ginger girl stood in between the blonde and the brunette as she announced like a well-trained pastor, "The groom makes the vow."

The brunette raised her hand and said awkwardly, "I, Charli Newton take Summer Brightly to be my lawful wife."

The blonde grinned with raised her hand as she stared at the brunette happily like a happy wife to be, "I. Summer Brightly take Charli Newton to be my lawful husband."

The ginger girl took the artificial rings made from grass for the couple to take as she said, "The groom and bride could exchange the rings." The couple was helping each other to put on the rings to their wedding fingers.

After they put on their rings, the blonde raised her hand and looked into the ring in awe while the brunette stood awkwardly and waiting for the game to end as soon as possible.

"Now you may kiss the bride." The ginger girl announced as the brunette started getting nervous to kiss her best friend. The brunette's felt her feet rooted on the ground while she was staring at the blonde waited at her expectedly. The blonde pretty smile spread on her face as she used her forefinger pointed it on her adorable lips and said in anticipation, "Kiss me now, Charli!"

The brunette's heartbeat slightly quickened when she saw the blonde closed her eyes with pouted her lips and waited. The brunette shut her eyes as she rested her shaky hands on the blonde's shoulders. The brunette slowly leaned into the blonde, but the blonde was getting impatient as she pressed the back of the brunette's head for their lips to meet.

In a split second, the brunette's eyes shot opened and she couldn't believe their lips connected. The blonde remained her eyes close and remained still her soft lips pressing the brunette's lips. The blonde eventually pulled away after a few seconds.

The brunette was still shocked about their lips touching as she remained stunned and staring at the blonde who has slowly opened her beautiful green eyes. The blonde grinned happily and exclaimed, "We are lawfully husband and wife. Yay!"

***********

*When Charli and Summer were 12 years old*

"Why am I always be the male character." the brunette complained as she stared at the blonde in annoyance.

The blonde giggled and said, "Once you played as my husband, you'll be the male character forever, Charli."

The brunette sighed, "That's unfair. Can we switch roles next time after this?"

Blonde nodded her head and grinned, "Yes we can, but I don't think we will get any chance to perform like that again. Because high school won't have such thing for us to play." The blonde smiled sheepishly.

The brunette groaned, "You are unfair. You always like that, Summer."

Summer wrapped her arm around Charli's shoulder and said with a giggle, "I know you still love me, Charli." She stared at Charli's clothes and smiled, "Besides, you look handsome to be Prince Aladdin."

Charli pouted her lips and said, "But, I want to be Princess Jasmine."

"Too bad, that's too late Prince Aladdin." Summer giggled as she stuck her tongue at Charli and the brunette sighed dejectedly.

"I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride."
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming"

The brunette sang and looked into the blonde while her hand was holding hers. The blonde stared at the brunette and sang along with her.

"A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole new world with you)"

At this moment, the brunette couldn't help, but her heartbeat was fluttering when she was staring at the blonde's gleaming green eyes, lovely smiling, and their entwined hands.

Somehow, the brunette tried to brush off the weird feelings as she continues to perform their songs. They were sitting romantically on the flying carpet as a pair of a lovely couple. The hall erupted clapping sounds while the performers sang until the chorus part.

"A whole new world (a whole new world)
That's where we'll be (that's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase (a wondrous place)
For you and me"

The brunette felt the lyrics were related to her feeling as the hairs of her skin was erupted while she sang to the blonde. The weird feeling of her heartbeat, skin tingling, and weird stomach feeling keep running in her body system till the song ended.

Somehow, the brunette hasn't calmed down her emotion while the blonde smiled happily and snuggled closer to her. The brunette was zoned out by watching the curtain sliding down to cover over the stage. She couldn't make any movement at all because she was still stunned and her heartbeat was pounding fast.

"What was wrong with me? I felt hard to breathe and my pulse was quicken. Is it here too humid or lack of air to me?" the brunette thought to herself in worry.

"Let's get going, Charli" the blonde called the brunette as she nudged the brunette's shoulder, but the brunette remained still in her little own world. The blonde was out of her patient as she rolled her eyes and yelled, "Earth to Charli!"

The brunette was startled a little after she was snapped back by the blonde. She stared at the blonde in confusion. The blonde took the brunette's hand and said, "Charli! We have to go now! The other competitors are waiting for this stage."

The blonde stood on her feet and pulled the brunette along with her as she stared at the brunette again and said, "Come on." The brunette eventually awakens after her long daydreaming as she let the blonde pulled her away from the stage.

********

"Do I like Summer?" the brunette spoke to herself while she was laying on her bed. "Why do I feel excited when she kissed me? My heartbeat was beating fast."

She hummed, "I always feel nervous whenever I looked into her green eyes, but I like her green eyes. They are beautiful."

Charli closed her eyes and flashback their performance event and mumbled, "That day when we were performing the Aladdin's song, my heartbeat was beating fast all the time. Especially when she snuggled closer to me." Charli brushed her arms as she saw goosebumps printed on her skin. She said quietly, "That was how I feel whenever I think about her."

Charli sat up abruptly with her face turned warm when she flashback they having a shower together. "S-She, she got boobs." She quickly used her hands to cover her face and said with shook her head, "No! No! No! I can't think like that. That was wrong!" she groaned.

"Charli!!" the brunette quickly turned her attention to the door after she heard the familiar loud and energetic voice. The blonde folded her arms as she walking toward Charli and said grumpily, "You have forgotten our plan, Charli." She rolled her eyes and said, "You already promised to have a sundae with me, then we will come back reading and I'll overnight at your place."

Charli didn't fully pay attention to Summer as she only nodded her head and said softly, "Okay, I'll go and change. Why don't you wait for me in the living room?" She really had forgotten about their plan.

The blonde ignored the brunette as she walked and shut the door and back to the bed and asked, "What's wrong with you? You always change in front of me. I can just wait for you at here."

"Okay," The brunette sighed as she went to the closet to choose her clothes and change. She couldn't refrain from the weird feeling and heat rush to her face when she started changing her clothes with the blonde sat behind her. She decided to brush off the feeling and quickly threw the clothes on her.

It was the early evening after they hangout and spending time in Charli's room. The blonde stretched her arms over her head as she stood up and held the brunette's hand and said, "Come on, let's get a shower now."

The brunette was getting nervous as she quickly said, "Erm, you first. I'll take a shower later."

The blonde furrowed her eyebrows as she asked curiously, "What's wrong? We always do that together."

"I'm period." The brunette blurted.

"Lies" the blonde crossed her arms and she seems like didn't get convinced by the brunette's reason. She asked in concern, "What's wrong with you recently? You're acting weird."

The brunette shook her head and she was trying to find the better reason as she stammered, "N-noting. I'm fine. Just go get a shower first, Summer." She gently pushed the blonde for her to move.

The blonde sat next to the brunette as she said, "Fine. If you don't want to shower together with me, then I'll not go shower either."

The brunette had enough for finding a way to reason with her best friend and she raised her voice, "Is that a problem if we don't shower together?"

The blonde was taken aback by the brunette's reaction. She soon scowled as she yelled in anger, "What is wrong with you, Charli? Why are you keep distancing me? What have I done wrong with you?!"

The brunette didn't respond or looked at the blonde. The blonde was out of patience for waiting. She huffed and said, "Fine! I'm going home!" with that the blonde stormed out and left the brunette in the room alone.

The brunette sighed as she rubbed her hands around her face in worried and said, "Oh no... She's pissed off now. What should I do?"
