Hey! Let me explain. This is a short that I actually wrote before It's hard to be a Hero and this story takes place sometime in the story.

Yeah I got it all in my head, I just have to type it.

So this is the reason Bubbles got distracted, hence title, in my other story that hasn't been written yet.

Don't worry I don't get it either.

"Fine!" Bubbles huffed as she walked out the front door. "It was just a thought!" The blonde screamed after her, slamming the door for effect.

"Uurgh!" Bubbles threw her hands in the air as she walked down the driveway towards the mailbox.

The blonde grudgingly opened the mailbox, grumbling all the while, she was too preoccupied to see a brunette woman with a stroller watching her only a few feet away.

"Um, are you okay?" The woman asked, concern filling her voice. Bubbles blinked and turned towards the woman, noticing her for the first time.

"Uh..." Bubbles mumbled, fumbling with the envelopes in her hands, slightly crumpling them. "I'm fine, thanks for... um... sorry..."

The woman smiled, "No it's okay, you weren't bothering me, I'm glad your fine though."

Bubbles looked at the woman in front of her. She was tall, about 5'10, she had dark brown hair pulled into a bun, dark eyes, and a friendly smile. She was wearing a simple light yellow shirt with jeans that hugged her hips. She had a large pink back pack and a black travel handbag slung over her shoulder.

Bubbles heard a tiny gurgle and looked down at the baby before her. The blonde's eyes lit up. "Oh, he's soo cute! How old is he?" Bubbles asked as she walked over and leaned over the baby in the stroller. The baby giggled as he took Bubbles' index finger and tugged it.

"This little booger?" The woman chuckled tickling the top of the baby's head, "Josh is only two, can you believe that?"

Bubbles looked up at the woman, Josh still pulling at Bubbles' finger. She looked really young to have a baby. Bubbles looked back at the baby.

"Really? He's a big boy, aren't you?" Bubbles gooed. Josh looked up at her with dark eyes like his mothers and short, light brown hair falling angelically onto the sides of his rosy cheeks. Bubbles poked his chubby cheek making him giggle.

Bubbles looked down and noticed two baby bags behind the stroller, one large and one medium sized. One was decorated with colorful dots with the other was decorated with little cartoon duckies and bubbles. It looked to be filled with baby items to the brim.

"Are you moving?" Bubbles curiously asked. The woman nervously glanced at the bags and smiled at Bubbles. "Not really, more like visiting."

"Oh, I'm Bubbles by the way." Bubbles said pulling away from the baby. She stuck her hand out as her cheeks flushed with embarrassment for being so rude and curious.

The woman smiled a sad smile, "Bubbles," she took the blondes free hand (the other is still holding the mail) with both hands, "I'm Alice." She said with enthusiasm.

Bubbles looked at her hand, in Alice's, "Um..."

"Oh sorry," Alice said releasing Bubbles' hand free.

Bubbles smiled, she was used to people doing things like that, with her being a heroine and all. "Hi Alice, welcome to Townsville." Bubbles said as she threw her hand around in the air dramatically.

Josh giggled again. Bubbles looked at Josh. "Do you want to carry him?" Alice said watching Bubbles.

"Really?' Bubbles said excitedly, putting the mail back in the mailbox as Alice handed her Josh. "Aw, he's so cute!" Bubbles looked into Josh's big eyes. Josh giggled reaching for Bubbles' even larger eyes, Bubbles squinted. Where did I see those eyes before?

"If I didn't know any better, Josh's eyes remind me of the Professors." Bubbles said pulling Josh's fingers out of her hair.

"Really?" Alice said happily with her hands clasped in front of her face. "Tell me, is the Professor a good father?"

Bubbles arched an eyebrow. "Uh, yeah, he's not really my father, but my creator, I was the first to call him dad though." Bubbles said giving up on prying Josh's fingers away. "How about Josh's father?" Bubbles asked nervously.

Alice smiled a sad smile. "Oh," She rested her hands on the stroller, "He's kind of the reason why I'm where I am right now."

Bubbles looked down, "Oh... I... Uh..."

"Don't worry about it, father's aren't perfect," Alice said looked towards the Utonium house, "I grew up without a father and-" Alice stopped abruptly to stifle a sob and wipe away tears that escaped from her eyes.

Bubbles looked up sadly at Alice, understanding perfectly why she was here. Before she could say anything Alice perked up, "Is your father home?"

Bubbles placed Josh back into the stroller, "I'm sorry, he went grocery shopping, but, he should be back soon, if you want, you could come in-" But she was cut off by a loud crash from the city of Townsville, seen far off in the distance was a huge, green, one eyed monster. A light green light zipped by Bubbles and towards the monster.

"Let's go Bubbles!" Blossom said floating above Bubbles' and Alice's heads. Blossom glanced at Alice, "Hi, sorry for interrupting but we have to go." Blossom said, politeness taking over. She gave a stern look to Bubbles before she zoomed away.

Bubbles gave an apologetic look at Alice before jumped up in the air trailing before her sister. "Sorry Alice."

Alice watched the girls, the monster's screaming faintly heard in the distance. She sighed, took one look at the Utonium house, and walked away pushing Josh in the stroller. The mail forgotten.

I know it's short.

But... deal with it.

OOH it feels good to have power over things like this.

MUAHAHAHA

Sorry, Just had to.
