don't underestimate my strength

Barbie was so glad that she had decided to apply for Astra. It was like a dream come true here and she had already met a much of wonderful people. That of course included her roommate, Duchess. They seemed so compatible it was like it was fate that they had been assigned to room together. At the moment Barbie was taking a break from unpacking her probably ridiculous sized wardrobe and was resting on the couch. She frowned and looked at the bright sunny day outside the windows. “Duchess! We should do something outside.” She called out to her roommate who was somewhere in their spacious dorm room.

The smile that Gaston had from moments before stayed planted on his face thanks to the woman’s response, if not getting larger. He never got such words from Belle, so, of course, he played right along; he was intrigued by this beautiful stranger now. Even though he preferred brunettes, a blonde would have to do just fine. “Oh, you’re more than special. You’re ethereal. What’s your name? I’m Gaston. Gaston Legume.” He held out his hand in greeting. “It’s truly apleasure to meet someone such as yourself. What brings you to the Astra initiative? I’m here perfecting my ever-growing modeling career. I’m sure you’ve seen me somewhere by now.” It was doubtful since even Gaston knew how little Astra had actually been helping him do what they said that they’d do, but whatever. That didn’t matter to him anymore; they were accepting beautiful women, how bad could they be, really? “Here, let me show you my favorite, secret spot so we can get to know each better.” He took her hand, having no idea where exactly they’d be walking to, but fully planning on figuring something out along the way.

Barbie was and had always been a flirt. She couldn’t help it, she enjoyed getting guys wrapped around her little finger with just a few choice words and a coy smile. She had never really considered being anything else, especially since leaving her ex boyfriend in the dust. This man was no different and even though she had just gotten here it didn’t mean she couldn’t have some fun. “I’m Barbie Roberts.” She said with a flirtatious smile and gave him a little handshake. She tilted her head when Gaston said that he was a model but she hadn’t seen him in any runway shows or editorials. “Are you sure you’re a model? My mother’s a fashion designer and I’m very up with the fashion world but I’ve never seen you around. I guess you could say fashion is also why I’m here at Astra though. I want to be a designer like my mother but make it without her influence.” She said with a little shrug. She didn’t want to be riding her mother’s coattails her entire life so she had audition for the initiative on a whim and made it. She stopped in her tracks when Gaston took her hand and she narrowed her eyes. “Now now Gaston, I may be easy on the eyes but that doesn’t make me easy.” She said with little smirk as she took her hand out of his.

Even though Diana had initially told Astra that she’d be attending The Blair Witch Project as her movie of choice, she eventually brought herself over to The Titanic due to the boredom that came from the earlier showing. Sure, it’d been slightly scary at some parts, but it mostly just a dud as many things in this life were. And that’s what the new surroundings around her were also coming out to be. That is, until Diana laid eyes on an attractive blonde woman who seemed to be the best dressed out of everyone at Astra. Maybe this was someone that she wouldn’t hate, so Diana walked up to introduce herself. A compliment seemed to slip out as well. “Clueless. You pull it off well.” She stuck out her hand. “Diana Gupta. Nice to meet you. New to Astra? I would’ve remembered someone like you if we’d met before.” Even though it may seem like she was hitting on the stranger, Diana wasn’t interested in dating. Whether that was for just right now or ever she wasn’t sure, but for now she was determined to stay focused on her “dreams” or whatever this initiative called them.

Barbie turned around at the sound of a voice. It was a woman who was quite beautiful but who seemed a little bit cold. Nothing she couldn’t warm up though. Barbie had a way with making people feel comfortable around her and she had no doubt that she could work her magic on this girl as well. She let a smile shine on her face. “Good eye. I know a woman who knows her fashion when I see one.” She laughed and then clasped the girl’s hand in a handshake. “Barbie Roberts, very nice to meet you. And yes I’m new. Does the confused looks give me away?” She tilted her head with a smile.

There were many various people that had attended this event, that much was known to Ella. She hadn’t worked up much nerve to talk to anyone just yet, but as she stood with her back to the snack vendor (after already buying herself a small cup of hot chocolate – what a surprise it was to her that they were serving said drink in mid-August) that nerves seemed to dissipate at the sight of a wonderfully-dressed, blonde woman’s arrival. Forcing herself to go and talk to her, Ella moved her feet. “Hello there! I can’t help but be incredibly jealous of your wonderful outfit.” (Obviously, she wasn’t really jealous, but that could only be hoped that the stranger would realize and understand.) “Where did you find all of the perfect clothes? I tried my best, but, alas, I only could find a few pieces that worked very well with my ‘80′s’ look here.” Ella brushed down on the lower-half of her dress – a difficult task with that fabric of such being sequins – with one hand to bring attention to her clothing items after speaking.

Barbie was still getting the lay of the land when she heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw a girl who looked about her age and was dressed to the theme and she already knew she loved the outfit. Her face broken into a smile when the girl complimented her outfit, something that Barbie adored of course. “Oh thank you! It’s actually a vintage outfit that I found at one of those cute little vintage boutique. Cher Horwitz is of course my fashion idol from the 90s.” She laughed with a little shrug. Barbie shook her head when the girl talked bad about her own outfit. “Oh my god no that outfit is amazing! I love what you did with it and it looks great on you too.” She said with an encouraging look. “I’m Barbie by the way, this is my first day here, what a day to start huh?” she laughed.

After unpacking his portable chairs from the trunk of his car and setting them up, Gaston sat down in one and began taking in the situation around him. There were plenty of people who seemed to be attending this event in groups, which made him feel a bit jealous since no one bothered to invite him to join them. He would have been a great group member! Clearly these people didn’t know what was wrong with them. The only one that he spotted was a blonde woman dressed in a very elaborately-detailed outfit. From Gaston’s perspective, it showed that she cared enough to try for this thing and told him that she must care about her appearance. That was his assumption anyway. Either way, she seemed to be all by her lonesome, meaning this was his chance to make his presence known. Grabbing a can of bug spray that he’d brought along with him, he broke the ice between the two. “This isn’t quite as sexy as putting on sunscreen at the beach, but we can’t have you getting eaten alive. At least, not by those pesky bugs. But by something – or someone – else, then that’s a different story,” he winked with a suggestive smirk.

Barbie had found her people but she wanted to explore some more. There were already so many others that she hadn’t met yet and if there was one thing Barbie was it was not shy. She wandered around mostly taking in the sights and sounds that was the Astra compound that she had suddenly found herself in and she already knew she was going to love it here. It seems everyone was here with a purpose just like she was. She was suddenly stopped as a very handsome man stepped into her path. He was at least a head taller than her but she liked than in man and he definitely had to classic look down to a T. Her eyes went to the line of bug spray that he held in his hand and then back to his gorgeous face, so gorgeous that she didn’t mind the cheesy and suggestive pick up line. She smiled at him coyly and tilted her head to the side. “Is that how you greet all the ladies or am I just special?”

Even though Duchess had spent time only on putting on the dress (which took a while because of the hidden corset she insisted her grandmother put in there), it had taken a while, and she was proud of it. She loved the attention she was getting over it, even if she would never admit that publicly, and because she was waiting for the person she was meant to meet (whose name sounded awfully familiar when the information desk lady told her), she got a lot of that. “Why, thank you, my grandmother made it!” she already started to say as she turned around, when her eyes widened ever so slightly. “Oh! You must be Barbie, right?” She looked exactly like the picture Duchess had been given. “I’m Duchess, your roommate. I must have missed you in the apartment just now.”

Barbie found a lot of comfort in talking and bonding over fashion. It was her entire childhood and she could out label anyone when it came to naming a piece of clothing and the designer. That’s why she could already tell that she and this girl in front of her would already get along swimmingly. Her eyes brightened when she heard that it was a one of a kind dress. “Oh my god that’s amazing! Your grandmother is definitely so talented.” She said with a nod. Her face lit into a smile when the girl said that she was going to be her roommate and she clapped her hands excitedly. “Uh love that name and I can already tell we’re going to be best friends for sure.” She said with a laugh and grabbed Duchess’s hand to give it a squeeze. “Your decorations were divine so I knew that I already had an amazing roomie and now it turns out she has great fashion sense too!”

Barbie could quote the Titanic from the moment it started to the final heartbreaking scene. She adored every moment of it and wasn’t ashamed to admit that she still teared up when poor young Leo was finally let go to travel down to the depths of the ocean. She loved the dresses and the impeccable fashion and definitely dressed up as Rose on more than one occasion during Halloween. At the moment however she was dressed as Cher Horwitz in the iconic white Calvin Klein dress that started a million copycats. As she looked around the scene she was excited to meet all her fellow astranaunts because she knew that they were chasing their dream just like she was.
