That is just a little one shot I could not get out off my head ever since I saw the promo for the Season Finale. It's not beta'd and pretty much written in under 30 minutes but I just had to get it out before 1x13 airs (and knowing me I would not have managed if I had let it sit on my desktop to let it be looked over)

Enjoy and please leave a review and tell me what you think

P.S. I can't figure out why there are so little Julia/Barbie fanfics anywhere. That's now going to change if I have to say anything about it :) (already working on my first one)


The Monarch

All four of them came to terms with trusting her with that egg and mini Dome business completely but this is something they had much rather done alone. Changing circumstances of the last two days however made them stick together like glue. Since Julia had been shot and Barbie had been blamed her life was threatened. When Angie helped Barbie get her out off the clinic so Big Jim could not get to her and keep her silent, the teenager practically promised him to keep Julia safe. Not believing Big Jim in his accusations (even Junior came to realize his father was the crazy one of them two) Angie, Joe, Norrie, Junior along with Julia hid in the basement of the clinic until it was safe to go outside.

They are standing in the woods in the middle of the night, at the only place in Chester's Mill where the Dome directly cut through the trees, and the only reason it is safe for them to be outside is because every single town resident was camped out in front of the town hall to watch Barbie getting executed. They would've liked to help him but, being four teenagers and a woman who recently got shot, they do not have any other option but mourn the wrongful death of a loved one.

They picked this particular spot not just because it is out of range of being spotted but because the kids all had dreamed of this moment last night. The dream did not give much information or even told them what to do or why this place but it clearly directed them here.

"What now?" Julia asks, after all they were the ones with visions and seizures.

"I don't know, but I think we need to touch it" Joe answers. His hand is interlocked with Norrie's and Julia couldn't help but think how cute those two were together and that if it wasn't for the Dome they never would have met. Nor would she and Barbie.

"Then let's do it" Angie breaks her out of thoughts of Barbie that were more than inappropriate in front of those kids. "Could you hold onto that?"

"Sure" Julia takes the egg from the mini Dome out off the girl's hand and watches them move towards the invisible barrier. For a moment they form a chain, all four of them holding hands, then they simultaneously bring their hands up towards the Dome and touch it.

There is a long time nothing happened at all and just as they are about to remove their hands, disappointed, Joe catches a flash of red in the corner of his vision.

"Wait" he tells them and a second later they all are stunned into complete silence.

Before them stands the most beautiful little girl they ever saw. Fiery red hair framing an angel-like face; freckles bringing out her gorgeous eyes. She is dressed in a dark green sun dress, her feet covered by flats the same color as her hair. She looks at them with a questioning gaze as if they were her vision and not the other way around.

"How old do you think she is?" Angie wants to know.

"Not older than five I'd say" Norrie answers.

Junior is about to roll his eyes because wasn't it more important to find out what the little girl meant, than how old she was, when he realizes something. "She looks like Mrs. S"

"That's right" The girls agree in unison.

"The fact that we see her as a little girl could mean the answer to lifting the Dome is somewhere in her childhood already" Joe, ever the practical one is already thinking further.

"That's not me" The four kids almost drop their hands. Julia is standing between Norrie and Angie, right in the middle of their line, the egg cautiously placed on a pile of leaves on the forest floor.

"You can see her?" Junior asks.

"Yes, I can. And she's not me" Julia answers.

"How's that possible? She looks like a carbon copy of you" Joe again.

Julia takes a while to answer this time. She drops to her knees in front of the invisible barrier and touches her left hand to it. On the other side, the little girl does the same and suddenly there is no barrier anymore. The exact place their hands touch the Dome dissolves, letting them interlace their fingers. They both repeat the action with their right hand and sure enough Julia's large hand engulfs the girl's little one. The smile that lights up the girl's face is radiating. It lets her look even younger – not a day older than three. Her eyes light up for a second and then she breaks the connection between them and then disappears. Julia's forehead rests against the Dome surface, her arms are wrapped around her stomach, a tear slipping down her cheek. Then she finally speaks.

"She has Barbie's eyes"
