a rough draft. i think i'll call it "though..."

once upon a time there was a little boy who liked to build cities out of legos. the houses were made to the scale of barbie and her ken. they were made that size so that he could play with his sister.

he was quiet about the barbie thing, though... whenever his friends came over to erect monstrous fortresses and have WW3 in their basement. barbie watched the battle from the arms of the sister on the other side of the room.

there were times that barbie was bored of ken and tired of just being his play thing. during these periods, she went for a more macho, yet much shorter GI that spent most of his time with the brother. joe, i think his name was. she never mentioned joe, or the brother, though... when the sister's friends were over playing beauty parlor and house.

whenever the parents were around, the sister usually ended up screaming at her brother... usually something about how he wouldn't let her have her way. the mother usually sided with the brother, though. him being the younger of the two. he always was a cryer.

she never really screamed and he never really cried though... when the two of them were playing by themselves.

...

15 years later... even though barbie and joe don't really hang out anymore, the brother and sister still play together, quietly... in secret.

forget i mentioned it, though.
