//------------------------------// // Soap Bubble Catastrophe // Story: Sisterly Struggles // by FireworksPOP //------------------------------// It was a cool day in Zephyr Hights. The wind blew softly and every pony in the city was happy and content with life. After all, Queen Haven announced the arrival of her new daughter just a week before. Zipp Storm, the new princess. Pipp had been around for about two years prior to her sisters birth. Though when Zipp was finally seen by the public she looked nothing like her sister. She took a lot after her father. "Pipp! Pipp! Pipp Petals were are you!?" "Mommy! I'm on live stream!" "Well stop. I need you to help find your sister." "Yes mama." Pipp looked back at her phone. "I gotta go. The royal pain got lost again." "PIPP!!!" ____ A while later Zipp re-appeared hanging of a chandelier in the main dinning hall, along with huge mountains of...soap bubbles? Zipp was holding a bottle of dish soap in her mouth, and an empty bottle of potassium iodide on the floor. Oh great...she now knows how to cause soap bubbles explosions. Great. OK. We'll deal with this later. For now, YOUR FREAKIN' KID WHO CAN'T FLY IS HANGING OFF THE STUPID CHANDELIER!!! Pipp looked up and frowned. "OK. I will deal with this later." She rolled her eyes and began to trot away. "Pipp get back here, your sister is stuck on the chandelier hanging nearly a hundred feet off the floor." YES. GET. THE. KID. DOWN. What kinda family are you? "I agree with that voice. We need to get her down. Zipp! Zipp! How did you get up there!?" Zipp looked down at the dinning table and pointed to the pile of bubbles. "I use da latter." "You...used. A latter." "Mhm." "May I ask, where did you get the latter?" "Guard." "WHICH. GUARD." "Uh..." "Never mind. Pipp! Help me find the latter...under the big pile of soap. Great." (Four hours later) "Gahhh! Finnally!" Pipp's head popped up through the blanket of bubbles. "I got the latter. It's under my hoof." "Where are you!? Haven yelled. "I'm on the other side of the mountain of bubbles!" "Which mountain of bubbles!?" "Uhh...the big one!" "That's it! Does anyone see PIpp!?" "No my queen!" "I can't see anything!" "Me neither!" "UGH! Why do I even keep you guards around!?" "Uh...because it's tradition and if you fire us all our families will be poor and we'll most likely die?" "Right. I want half of you to make your way to Zipp. Maybe we can catch her. I don't know why we didn't try that earlier." Pipp scowled. "YOU MEAN I SWAM THROUGH AN OCEAN OF SOAP BUBBLES FOR NOTHING!?" Yeah. You did. "SHUT THE H*** UP!" "Pipp! Watch your language! I swear you act more like your an adult with anger issues than a kid." "Yeah yeah." Half the guards began to swim toward the middle of the room, what looked like miles above them was little Zipp hanging on to the crystal chandelier. "Zipp! Honey! Just let go!" "Ma-" "If they don't catch you, you'll land in a pile of bubbles! You...should survive!" "OK! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee!" She fell into the mountain of bubbles. She disapeared. It was silent for a moment. And for the next five minuets. And for the next five minuets. And for the next five minuets. By Scootaloo's name...she's dead...Oh well. "WHAT ARE YOU STUPID HEADS DOING!? SAVE MY DAUGHTER!! THAT'S YOUR JOB!! TO KEEP US FROM DYING!!!" The queen yelled. "YES MA'AM!!" One dove under the sea of bubbles. It was silent for a moment. And for the next five minuets. And for the next five minuets. And for the next five minuets. By Scootaloo's name...he's dead...Oh well. The guards looked at each other nervously. "GOT HER!!" He jumped up out of the bubbles holding Zipp. Only to fall back in. Ya know. Because you lost your ability to fly hundred's of years ago. Dude where have you been since everyone in g4 was killed off by Hasbro? The room sighed in relief, Pipp finally finding where the guards and her mother were. Pipp looked annoyed but relived that her little sister was safe. "Mom. Will this happen often?" "Very. Very. Possible." "Oh great. What will it be next time? A pool full of sharks!?" "Hopefully not. Now- will someone please take the princesses to their rooms? I need one of you to get someone to clean this room as well." One unimportant guard character looked over at her. "What do we do with all the bubbles?" "Put them in a giant sink." "Uh..." "Kiding. Just- let the kids from the elementary schools into here. The'll pop all the bubbles in less than half an hour." Queen Haven began swimming back fallowing her two children and a couple guards. They all looked terrified. Queen Haven was going to interrogate them about how Zipp got her hooves on a latter, soap and whatever chemicals she stole from the royal lab. That would be a nightmare. Queen Haven was scary when she wanted to be. Pipp still needed to get used to having a little sister who needed more attention, and Zipp needed to take a class in what to do, and what not to do while in the palace. 1. Do not trick the guards. 2. Never lie to Mother. 3. Never make friends with three other ponies that are unicorn or pegasi and go on some epic quest without telling any one. 4. Never disobey rule number 3. And 5: Don't. Cause. Soap bubble explosions. In. The. Dinning. Room. Rule five was added just two minuets ago. Queen Haven sighed. "Well, this was one heck of a day." She looked to the tiny Pegasus sitting on her back. "You sure you don't have anymore tricks up your sleeve? Wait we don't have sleeves..." Zipp blinked and looked to the left, then the right, and hopped off her mother's back and onto the floor where Pipp was walking. "Pipp!" "Mhm?" Pipp looked down at her sister, bored. "Bubbles." "What?" "Bubbles." "Uh..." Queen Haven opened the room to Zipp's nursery...and guess what happened next? An avalanche of soap bubble's. That's what happened next.
