It was a sunny Saturday morning in Malibu, and Barbie was in the middle of packing for a Lakeside Picnic with her sisters—Skipper, Stacie, and Chelsea. They had a long list of fun things planned: lemonade, lilacs for decoration, and even a lazy hammock to lounge in.

Just as Barbie zipped up the picnic basket, a sudden loud laugh echoed from the garden.

“L Monster!” Chelsea squealed, running outside.

Standing by the rosebushes was the adorable, pink, letter-shaped creature—L Monster—waving both hands and balancing a giant lollipop on his head.

“Hi friends!” L Monster said cheerfully. “I was looking for you! I heard there’s a lighthouse nearby that’s been acting… well… loopy!”

“A loopy lighthouse?” Stacie tilted her head. “Do you mean the light is broken?”

“Not exactly,” L Monster grinned. “The light keeps flashing in letters, and today, it’s been flashing the letter L over and over again.”

Barbie exchanged a curious glance with Skipper. “That sounds mysterious… and fun! Maybe we can figure out what’s going on.”

So the group—Barbie, Skipper, Stacie, Chelsea, and L Monster—loaded up the picnic basket, hopped into Barbie’s pink convertible, and drove toward the rocky coastline where the tall white lighthouse stood.

At the Lighthouse

The lighthouse keeper, Mr. Lambert, was pacing nervously when they arrived.

“Oh, thank goodness!” he said. “For hours now, the light’s been spelling out the letter L in Morse code. I have no idea why!”

L Monster’s eyes sparkled. “Leave it to me! I’m an expert in L things—and this lighthouse is clearly calling for L Monster!”
