Bubbles - The Adventures

Star Thunder halted in the middle of flying to the top of the nearest cloud, causing one of the mares to ram into her. Star turned over, pulled her from behind and tossed her into the clouds. She kicked the rest of the foalice after her with her strong hind legs, sending them flying across the sky. Hesitant, she flew towards the Everfree Forest.

The chirping of crickets buzzed in Star's ears. Then joined in a birdsong, then the beautiful, soft voice of another pony. Star buttoned her trench coat into covering her muzzle. Her black shades covered her sparkly red eyes. "Anypony there?" Star asked, quietly and cautiously. The singing, chirping and birdsong stopped. Star parted a bush then climbed over. At the sight of her, the birds flew off and crickets hid under plants. A pale yellow pony with a magnificent green mane and freckles backed into a bush across from Star. "Did I scare your animals? I'm sorry," Star murmured. "I'm St--" No, stupid, don't blow your cover! You're gonna get caught! Star shouted at herself in her thoughts. "I'm Bubble... Cha... ser..."

This was just like the moment that happened a generation ago. The story has been heard plenty of times, by everypony. Twilight Sparkle, a student of Princess Celestia, ordered to make friends. Fluttershy, a shy, yellow pony, with a pink mane. Was Bubbles living that moment, now?

"I'm... Lemonade..." the mare said unsteadily, turning to the tree, her pink cape gently flowing in the wind. Star - Bubble, now, looked at Lemonade's cutie mark. A clear gray pitcher full of ice cubes and bright yellow lemonade. Lemonade scattered bird seeds on the dry ground. "So, uh, how'd you get your cutie mark?"  Bubble asked. "Selling drinks is a family tradition. I'm taking care of my friends animals while she's in Cloudsdale," she replied.  "Where are ya from?" Bubble looked at Lemonade. "Canterlot."  "Ponyville. Wanna come see, Bubble? Oh, how about I call you Bubbles?"  Ugh. The last thing I wanted to do is make friends. I'll trust them then tell them my true identity, then they'll betray me. Bubbles thought. "Sure," she said, forcing a smile.

Lemonade trotted towards a small town, thankfully, away from the Everfree Forest. A white unicorn with a glossy red mane was walking along, carrying a small basket made of vines, full of gems and ribbons. A pink pegasus with a long, stringy royal purple mane flew next to her, multiple shade, color and patterned fabrics stuffed in her saddlebags. "That's Dream Bolt and Cloud Chaser," Lemonade pointed her hoof at them. "Nice, well, I better get going," Bubbles laughed nervously, ready to dash off. Lemonade grabbed her tail and took her deeper into Ponyville.

A hot pink and bright blue pony flew down from Cloudsdale, landing in Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack, tiredly picked up a young filly identical looks to hers. Sweetie Belle put down two white fillies. One with a purple mane, one with a blue mane. Scootaloo sat at a small picnic table, and Apple Bloom, Big Mac, Red Gala and Golden Delicious set the long picnic table. "Oh howdy, Speedy! Comin' for the party? Twinkle Blitz told us all about it," Apple Bloom said to the mare kindly. "Yup! It's been forever since a new pony's been to town," she replied. Dream Bolt pushed a mannequin pony to the scene. A dress had gold laced around the border of the dress. The bottom of the dress was navy blue, the shades getting lighter higher in the dress. Glitter covered the dress, which made it shine in the sunlight.  Bubbles covered the dark shades of blue, them getting smaller in the lighter shades.

"You really outdid yourself, Dream Bolt!" Sweetie Belle complimented. "It's beautiful!" Scootaloo said, admiring the dress. "Oh, it's nothing, truly," she laughed. Lemonade walked in with the alicorn at her side. Twinkle Blitz, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Applejack, Big Macintosh, Pinkie Pie, Red Gala, Golden Delicious, Cloud Chaser, and Speedy shouted as loud as they could;

"SURPRISE!"

Pinkie nudged at Twinkle. Twinkle cleared her throat and went onto the small stage.

Twinkle's voice was high pitched, just as her mother's was. It was a song that's lived a surprisingly long time. The words Twinkle sang exploded her Bubbles ears.

Welcome welcome welcome

A fine welcome to you

Welcome welcome welcome I say how do you do?

Welcome welcome welcome

I say hip hip hurray

Welcome welcome welcome to Ponyville today

Bubbles stared at them. "This is my welcome party?" Speedy groaned. "As grateful as I am, I cannot stay here in Ponyville," Bubbles sighed. A white alicorn with multicolored hair fluttered onto the ground. The ponies bowed down, but Bubbles stayed right in front of the Princess, eye to sunglasses. She found me.
