The girl giggled as she tip-toed carefully on the dirt road. A blonde boy watched her from down the street. He didn't know what she was so happy about. She was always like that. She was a bit odd if you think about it. Even in 95 degree weather she came out in baby-blue knee-high socks everyday. Each pair was different. It may have bubbles on it one day while the next there were puppies and bright sunshine hair was always in pigtails with a strand hanging over her cystal blue eyes. She wore a blue sundress with a huge pocket on the side. Something was peaking out of her pocket, but he never knew what it was. She giggled again as a butterfly flew by her.
The boy got a bit frustated. He never knew why she was so happy. He sucked in his breathe realizing he should ask her instead of watching her like a creep. He exhaled and walked towards her." Hello, I'm B-Boomer." He said shyly extending his hand for a handshake. His father always greeted guests like this and he had no other example to follow being only 7 years old.
" Hi, I'm Bubbles!I live on the corner with my 3 sisters and my parents." She replied happily shaking his hand. Then, that thing in her pocket started to move. Boomer yelped and stepped back.
"Whats the matter? Its just Mister Twirly." She asked gently taking the thing out of her pocket. She cradled the small brown and grey creature in her arms cooing over the thing.
"Who's Mister Twirly? Did that thing eat him?" Boomer asked heistantly taking a step towards the thing.
"No, silly. Mister Twirly is a squirrel. This is the little fellow." Bubbles giggled holding out the squirrel to Boomer. He paused for a moment before taking it his hands.
The creature let out a small sound and curled in his hands.
"I found him one day on the looked so thin and he kept twirling around in circles, so I took him in and named him Mister Twirly ." Bubbles said softly. Her voice was so beautiful to him. She was so cute and almost had a white aura surrounding her as if she was an angel.
"So, where do you live?" She asked snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Up the street on the corner with my brothers and Dad." He said pointing opposite of her house.
"Oh, my sister Everblaze likes a boy who lives down there. She's always talking about the fact he has purple eyes like her. Well, around me, but not Buttercup or Blossom because they get mad about boys." Bubbles drabbled smiling at the mention of her sisters.
"Really, my brother Evil bruiser says he likes some girl with purple eyes down the street." Boomer said. They got into a very long conversion about their siblings laughing and smiling.
"Bubbles!" Blossom yelled from inside the house.
"Oh, that's my sister. Got to go!" Bubbles said quickly. She gave Boomer a quick kiss on the cheek and ran towards her house. His hand touched the cheek she kissed and smiled.
"Wait, what about ?" Boomer yelled remembering the creature in his hands.
"Don't worry. I think he likes you." Bubbles yelled back giving a small wink.
"Come on, Bubs! I'm hungry!" Buttercup whined.
"Coming!" Bubbles shouted.
"Bye!" She waved at Boomer and started to run back to her house.
"Bye, Bubbles." Boomer whispered with a smile. He walked back to his house where his brothers were probably impatiently waiting. His smile grew. All because of some silly squirrel.
