Springtime!
Happy first day of Spring, Barbie!
(I mean, not for me. For me, March 1 is the first day of Autumn. But I assume the majority of my followers are from the Northern Hemisphere.)
To celebrate the spirit of the season, here are a few Springtime Barbies. For example, remember when Mattel for some reason had a collaboration with direct sales company Avon? As a part of that, there was a series of Spring-themed Barbies available as Avon-exclusives.
Spring Petals and Spring Blossoms feel like they have some internal consistency, and then Spring Tea Party goes off on a bit of a tangent. Perhaps it's because Spring Bouquet, as a doll name, was already taken.
But of course, there are Spring themed Barbies that were released in places other than direct sales catalogs. For example, 2000's Goddess of Spring Barbie, in her beautiful lavender gown.
Or perhaps 2005's I Dream of Spring is more up your alley. I can't imagine why, as Goddess of Spring is clearly the frontrunner, but there's no accounting for taste.

A Summary of Events
Besides those in the Empire and Ponyville, Pinkie, Boomlord, and Spike had also been brought to the Spirit Realm; but neither Light nor Spike could fight the Shade, so they and Pinkie were sent back.
With Boomlord's notebook, and her newly granted connection to Nuntius, Pinkie brought Light back to Ponyville; here, along with Spike, they visited all of her friends one by one to ask them for help.
At the Boutique, Light was gifted an outfit by Rarity, designed to suit their Kirin self perfectly, before the fashionista joined the group as they left to meet Applejack at the farm outside of town.
The hard-working, honest farmer joined them to Fluttershy's cottage, where Rainbow Dash saved Light from an overprotective Discord hindering them; luckily, he was willing to help not long thereafter.
In a snap, Discord brought the group to Ponyville Palace, where the rest of the Mane Six joined the others in the Spirit Realm, as Discord told Light and Spike about their immortality, and the Realm.
The withering attacks of the Shade forced the trio into the Library, and to the Northern Mountains, as Celestia suggested; but the Mountain cold nearly froze Discord, and Light had to go there alone.
The Shade changed form to look familiar, yet not, when Light, hurt, and threatened by an avalanche, was saved by Spike, sent by Discord, when they noticed a too familiar power from an uncovered cave.
In a collapsed tunnel deep in the cave, Light found old scrolls, with hastily scribbled notes about balance atop neat writing; they sent Discord a message via Nuntius, and were brought to the Palace.
The realisation that balance had to be kept was key in defeating, or rather, accepting the Shade, a collection of evil Lost Spirits; but as others returned, Light was asked to enter the Spirit Realm.
Here, they were reunited with Spring Blossom, a dear friend they lost aeons ago, who helped them to stop blaming themselves; after Blossom departed, Light returned, and others left the Halls to rest.
But now, the letter and scrolls were crucial to research, while Boom's travels led him elsewhere…
