Oh my gosh, it’s like, totally dark in here!  It’s like, you know, like summer, only without the sun.  OMG, how am I supposed to, like, find the phone?  If I cannot find the phone within the next, like, minute, I ‘m going to, like, die!  Because I need to, like, talk to all my friends, ‘cause we’re like, having a talking marathon and I’m like, gonna so kick their butts.  OMG, I just, like, bumped into something!  Is that, like, a mall?  Because I like need to be near a mall to survive.  OMG, this place is so weird.  Why is it so, like, dark in here?  Is anyone listening?

Glow in the dark compass – check.

Pink phosphorescent dune buggy – check.

Animal-repelling bikini with magnetic utility belt – check.

Fluorescent lipstick, spray-on hair sparkles, luminescent nail polish, and silk braided bull whip – check.

My name is “Indiana Barbie” and I am off to explore the Temple of Doom.

I hopped on my bike and steered into the hall.  I had been doing this for weeks.  I loved it.  I was a Barbie active at night, a toy during the day.  I knew it would be light soon so I snapped off my helmet, climbed off my bike, and went back to see the sun rise.
