Tittle: I’m not narcissistic
Author: GeekyLatina
Rating: K+
Genre: Romance, Angst (maybe).
Pairing: Tori/Keira slash pointing towards one-sided (that’s up to you)
Summary: Just a ficlet about Tori’s thoughts on Keira.
AN: As far as I know this pairing has never been done before, which kinda bugged me because, at least in my opinion they do have a slashy air about them, so I wanted some fics. But I found none, hence this ficlet. Sorry if it’s not really good, it’s the first fic I write for a Barbie movie. Actually, this is the first fic I’m publishing. Just tell me what you think about it.

I’m not narcissistic. I think Aunt Amelia said that to me once or twice. I wasn’t really listening. Hell, I don’t even know how I heard the word. But I’m not narcissistic. The fact I find you beautiful doesn’t make me narcissistic. The fact that I’m maybe just a little bit attracted to you doesn’t make me narcissistic either. Yeah, you and I look the same, but there are differences. There’s the hair, obviously. And then there are the expressions you make. And your dressing style is also a bit different, even if I maybe base mine on yours and tell my designers to do the same. And there’s also your personality. Even before I met you I knew, if just a bit, what you were like. I watched and read all the interviews and read you biography. Which doesn’t mean I had a crush on you. Not at all.
And anyway, you’re with Liam. Prince Liam The couple of the millennia, the magazines say. Sometimes I envy him. Not that I will ever admit it. He’s really lucky to have you. You know, sometimes I wonder what it’s like to kiss you. I’m sure he already knows. But why does he get to have you? Oh, yeah, he was there at the beginning,
But I’m not in love with you. I’m not falling for you. I’m… really not. At least as far as you will ever know.

MelodyLaurel Yay for Barbie femslash! Plus the unrequited love trope is my favourite thing ever. I think this is really nice, because you have showed a different interpretation to their relationship that I never even thought about. A bit more detail would have been nice, though. It felt a bit short and rushed. Still, as far as ficlets go, this one is pretty good. Keep up the good work! (I'm probably going to be the only one to comment on this, sadly, since this fandom doesn't do slash/femslash much, as far as I know, and I've been in it for 2 years.)

geekylatina Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it, I wsan't really sure how it had turned out, being my first fic and all (I gotta admit, I was a little bit wary of reading your comment as it might have as well have been a flame, this being possibly one of the first barbie slash fic) I thought there was a slashy air about them, what with Tori starting the tour with her room and showing Keira the Diamond Gardenia (sorry if I mess up some names, but I've only seen the movie in Spanish) and I really like slash so I decided to find some about them. When I could barely find any Barbie Slash save from two works, I decided to write this. And since it's my first work I decided to make it a ficlet. (Can I confess that I squealed when you said good work?) And who knows? Maybe if I keep posting slash and if I'm good enough I might attract someone to the slash side. Everyone started somewhere, after all. Again, thank you very much.

MelodyLaurel It's definitely not the first Barbie slash fic, but the first one on this website, yeah, I think so. I don't blame you for being wary. Still I applaud you for posting it, otherwise I wouldn't have found a fellow slasher. That's an interesting way to interpret it. I'm pretty open to discussions and different interpretations so it's always nice to hear someone's else's opinion on this matter. And no, you didn't mess up the names. It is called the Diamond Gardenia. You're very welcome, dear. :)

CleoCorinne Usually I don't read slash or femslash, because I honestly don't ship any, in any fandom, but this caught my attention. The writing style is excellent, and I really, really like how it's Tori speaking (there aren't many of these fanfics... not for Barbie Movies, at least) to a Keira that obviously isn't in front of her and probably will never even know how her best friend feels about her. Out of all the slash and femslash couples for Barbie Movies, though, this is one that I can appreciate, even if I don't ship it (anything is better than Keira/Liam, for me). Keep up the AWESOME work!

nmdis Really good work. Like Ceci I usually don't read slash but this one is written perfectly and I am impressed by it. You should keep writing because I loved your work and I guess others will too, just keep writing. @Cleocorinne : Why don't you like shipping Kiera/Liam as far as I know Liam had a crush on Keira (Transformed as Tori) and I think he had crush on her because of Keira's personality...

ariel306842 good work.keep it up!

CleoCorinne @nmdis: Liam has a crush on Tori because she's the one who is actually playful and such. Keira was PRETENDING to be Tori, so she also had to copy her behaviour. So Liam is actually in love with Tori and no one can convince me otherwise.

geekylatina Thank you all for your really nice comments. It really means a lot to me that people liked the first fanfiction I publish here, and that CleoCorinne and nmdis liked it even though you don't usually read slash. @CleoCorinne I think you have a point in the fact that Liam at first wanted to approach Tori and approached Keira only because he thought she was Tori, and that when he developed a crush on her she was impersonating someone, but I'm not sure he has a crush on Tori either, because Keira had only known her for a few days, and I don't think a few days of knowing someone can make for a perfect impersonation. Just saying

nmdis @Cleocorinne : I guess we will never be confirmed LOL and Mattel have made us confused. Okay you keep think that Liam loves Tori and I will think that he loves Keira. xD

nmdis @geekylatina : That's what I thought you can't know somebody in few days of course. Okay let's end this conversation here. Anyway you're welcome in fact thank you for posting this it's amazing. I mean the first plot is so good that I am really excited to read it ahead.

DelancyKeira Too complicated I think so but that Tori should be with Liam and Keira with Crider xDDDD
