//------------------------------// // Bubblehead Bubblecup // Story: Tales of Another Ponyville // by Paradise Oasis //------------------------------// Written by the awesome Fanficpony, an awesome guest writer! Urgh, stubbed my hoof again! Stupid metal pipe. Why am I always so klutzy- oof! Oh, didn’t see you there! Sorry for, um, bumping into you. I have a bit of a habit of doing that. My name’s Bubblecup, and I’m Ponyville’s resident plumber! I don’t exactly know what my cutie mark is for, because I got it when I was really little, and I can’t remember stuff very well. After all, what could a few bubbles in a spotlight mean anyway? But I’m great at fixing ponies’ plumbing, so that’s what I do, even if it doesn’t always turn out so great… Yeah, my ‘talent’ with plumbing is sometimes more harmful than helpful, but most ponies don’t seem to mind it when I help them. They just stare at me when I work; I think it’s because I’m so clumsy, but sometimes the stallions hoot and holler at me. Speaking of stallions, I don’t see very many of them around, but when I do, they seem to look at me a lot. I’ve never heard of an attractive plumber before, and I don’t think that I’m really that good looking. I mean, sometimes I’ve helped model for Rainbow Dash, and she always says, “Oh Bubblecup, darling, you look so beautiful in this!” or “Bubblecup, you should really wear dresses more often!” She’s really nice, but I don’t really think I can be as pretty or ladylike as her. She’s even got a husband, Denim Blue! He’s a cowpony, but he’s not around all of the time. Most of the time, he’s out catching bandits in the wild west, and I’m sure he’s probably already told you about it. Rainbow Dash is my closest friend, and I’m usually the one that helps her model (even when I trip over my hooves a lot). She also loves to talk to me about girly stuff, like my huge stallion problem, and she’s always so helpful! I don’t know what I’d do without her. Rainbow’s usually the one who helps control all the stallions that seem to throw themselves at me, and usually they get distracted by her! I’m glad to have her around, because otherwise I’d be like some Mare-y Sue that has all the stallions! And that wouldn’t go over too well… Anyway, the first date she set me up on was with Anchors Away, a sailor stallion who loves nothing more than to brag about, well, whatever he can. I spent most of the date trying to stay awake, listening to him prattle on about sailory stuff. Then I found out he already had a girlfriend, and needless to say, that didn’t go over well. Oh, I should probably mention my one stallion friend that’s NOT throwing himself all over me. His name is Trolley, and he likes to build cute little model trains! I love how they even puff out little bubbles as they go around the little track! Anyway, he’s really nice to me and lets me babysit his little sister, Tripsy Daisy, when he’s out at train conventions. One time, he took me to one, and there were so many big trains! He really loved it there, and he always shows me all of the ones he knows. Sometimes there are humans there too, because it’s not in pony territory, but they don’t seem to mind. Well, except for that one time where little Tripsy tripped over some train tracks and got hurt- and also bent the train tracks over on each other! She and Trolley are descended from this super-strong pony from the past named Lilly Longsocks, so it’s no wonder that Tripsy is so strong! He’s got a HUGE family, with a brother and another sister, named Frisco and Love Wishes! Frisco’s married to Fiesta Flair, and she’s the number one Ponyville party planner! Love Wishes is a mailpony, and she like to deliver love letters most of all! I also have a sister, and her name is Waterfire. She does most of the underground work for plumbing, while I work up above ground! We don’t always get along, though... Oh, why do I always complain so much? I figure you’re tired of hearing me babble about stallions and stuff, and I’ve got some important stuff to do. See ya later!
