Author Notes: Do you like shipping? Then you won't like this story. Even beyond the typical Golly, Doby and Noona, I think I about sink every combination possible.

The closest this story has is a little Neema, but even then it didn't work out.

And if you don't like depressing moments involving characters you like... ow...

The Guppies, especially as adults, are out-of-character? Very much intentional. Especially for the likes of Molly and Oona.

Plus a lot of swearing. Really, a lot. This is a very different Bubble Guppies story, people.

This story was inspired by 'BoJack Horseman'. If you've seen it, you may be able to make connections with the characters. Also, some inspirations come from Aviator's MLP song 'Friendship'.

Rated M for coarse language and adult themes.

CHAPTER ONE - BUB-BUB-BUBBLE

'Alright, that's a wrap! Break time everyone!'

Molly placed her microphone on the snack table. She sighed in relief, and smiled. She watched the person behind the scenes moving the set around.

'Today's episode is going so well!'

Gil stood next to her, sipping down a provided box of apple juice. He leaned against the table confidently.

'Tell me about it. I can not wait for the popcorn storm!'

Deema remained on set, in front of the camera and in the middle of the light.

'No! We must keep rolling. I was so into it. We cannot stop now!'

She continued to overdramaticly be herself even as the set piece she sat on was being pushed away.

'Wait, no! It's too early. I need that spotlight...!'

Molly and Gil couldn't help laughing. He began chomping on a piece of carrot.

'She's really happy considering the show's ending.'

Molly's eyes widened. 'Do you think she knows?'

'Uh... I don't know. She's never mentioned it.'

Goby read the script to make sure he had his lines memorised.

'Alright. A story with Oona. Easy.'

'Reading the script, Goby?'

He jumped as he heard Oona's voice. She was dressed as a farmhand.

'Are you okay with doing a scene with me later today? I know being filmed makes you nervous.' She said.

He chuckled. 'It'll be fine. I've been doing it for four seasons. There's not even much more to go through.'

The film crew moved to the next set to prepare shooting.

'Wow. You've really come far since the beginning. You could hardly talk while filmed, let alone act.'

'I think it was your enthusiasm on camera that kept me going.'

Nonny sat at a desk, writing on the paper work. He knew there was less paper work than normal, and he knew why.

Deema swam up to the table, and peered over the work. She didn't understand a word, other than 'Ms Swimmer' obviously meaning her, but she enjoyed watching Nonny know what he was doing.

'Are you excited for the popcorn storm?'

He chuckled. 'Of course. Are you?'

'You have to ask?' She drew her attention to his smile. 'Wow. I forget you smile way more off the set.'

He wrote down his signature. 'I get told that a lot. It's hard not to smile when I see you so happy despite what's happening.'

Her happy expression disappeared in favour of a surprised and concerned one.

'Wait, what's happening?'

His smile faded.

'The show's ending after the next few episodes.'

'Wait WHAT?!'

'No one told you?'

Expecting her to cry about it in an over the top way, he was surprised to see her smiling.

'Well, might as well make the most of it I guess. I don't care if this show ends right now. As long as we're all still friends, who cares? My friends are all I care about.'

He had to smile.

Author Notes: 'As long as we're all still friends, who cares?' Ever heard of tempting fate, Deema?

Just a short calm before the storm. The other chapters will be longer, and show off that M rating as things get a lot more adult and cynical. Consider reading the second chapter before you decide to keep reading or not.

I wanna establish the situation and the behind-the-scenes personalities of the Guppies before the hell sinks in.
