"Who is Karen?" Mary asked. "I thought you were single. Who is Barbie?"

"Uh...wait a minute, Mary," I replied while turning two shades of red. "Karen, I think you should come down right now. It's important! We have company."

Karen again,

Bob and I were going dancing after we saw Barbie off on her big night. If I do say so myself, I looked elegant as I entered the living room to meet our guest. My long, curled hair flowed down my back, my face was beautifully made up, and several large gold hoops dangled from my ears. My blue, tight fitting, below the knee length dress hugged my every curve. The open front and sleeveless collar allowed my mature breasts to peek above the low bodice. Sheer nylons caressed my legs, and I walked easily in matching blue evening pumps with three inch spike heels and pointed toes. "MARY!" I gasped upon seeing her on the sofa.

"Do I know you?" Mary asked.

I stood next to Bob and took a deep breath. The dreaded moment when I would meet my ex-wife had arrived. Deciding to come clean, I stammered, "I was your husband, but my name is Karen Reynolds now. I'm now Bob's wife!"

"Remember when Ted told you Bill was impersonating my wife?" Bob interjected.

If Mary hadn't been seated, she would have fallen to the floor. She took a deep breath and muttered, "You're Bill?" "Mother...Mother," Barbie called from her bedroom. "I need your help."

"I'll be right there, dear," I answered. "Bob darling, please entertain Mary while I help Barbie. Todd will be here soon."

I felt Mary watching me as I walked from the room, knowing she would notice the gentle sway of my hips caused by my high heels.

Bob again,

"BILL? Is that really Bill?" Mary gasped after catching her breath.

"That WAS Bill, but Bill no longer exists. Her name is Karen now," I corrected.

"I. . .I don't understand," Mary gasped, still trying to catch her breath. "You and Bill. . .are living together as husband and wife?"

"Her name is Karen, and we are married." "MARRIED? But he...she was my husband."

"Hello, Mrs. Lamb. My name is Barbie Anne Reynolds. I'm going to the prom with my steady... a boy named, Todd," Barbie blushed.
