A/N: This was written for Mystii's free-verse challenge on HPFC. The prompt and pairing given was Victoire/Lysander and bubbles. The spell check underlining was driving me nuts (all those red and green squiggles…) but overall, this was very fun to write.
-when two bubbles collide-
:~:
She's that type of girl
perfection and elegance walking hand-in-hand
a star so b r i g h t in the night sky
it hurts just to look at her
(and oh, how she shines.)
:~:
She's the → center ← of her very own universe
that everyone (r(e(v(o(l(v(e(s( around
living in an alluring
b u b b l e
&&everywhere she goes
luck showers its affection upon her head
&& every time she -s-m-i-l-e-s-
the world *sparkles* just for h• e• r
:~:
But then he comes a lon g.
He's different,
unlike anyone she's ever known.
&& when they meet,
It's a catastrophe,
Because he defies her laws of gra•vi•ty
and her perfect world is turned
^upside^

:~:
They're just a b o y and g i r l
living in two completely different worlds
&& when those 2 fragile bubbles collide
one has to !pop! in the end.
She knows something for certain:
it's not going to be his.
:~:
So her world goes !pop!.
&&when she sees things in a new light,
from outside that bubble,
she never thought
they'd be so beautiful
(like his glowing s a p p h i r e eyes)
(or his heart-wrenching smile)
&&she'd never imagine
he'd be the one to show her the way
:~:
&& so what if she's changed?
:~:
So maybe the world doesn't *sparkle* as much as it used to,
&& maybe she's not as
b_l_i_n_d_i_n_g
of a star
as flawless
as invulnerable
as dazzling
as she used to be.
:~:
But she's perfectly fine with that.
:~:
Because now it's h•i•m
who s'h'o'w'e'r's her with affection
(with flowers and chocolates
and kisses besotted with L-o-V-e)
&& now it's him
who smiles at her
in a way that's meant only for her eyes to see
:~:
He !burst! her bubble
He r'a'i'n'e'd' on her parade
&&gave her something new entirely
and now he's her e v e r y t h i n g
:~:
And, if you really wanted to know the truth?
She couldn't be any happier.
