Throughout the years the small underwater group of mermaids known as the Bubble Guppies stayed close. Of course, they had their fights but they always end up back together again. They weren't just friends. They were family.
Molly's House
Deema knocks on the front door. She looks down to check what she's wearing. A gray crop top.
"I hope Goby likes it." Deema thinks to herself as she looks up to see her best friend standing in the doorway.
"Hey, Deema. Come on in." Molly says with the sweet voice she always had.
Deema swims into Molly's house. Her eyes quickly flicks over to the two males sitting on the couch. Gil and Nonny. No Goby.
"Where's Goby... and Oona?" Deema asked.
"Oh and hi to you too." Gil says sarcastically.
"Hi Nonners. Hi Creature. Now where are they?"
Molly and Gil looks at Nonny. Nonny is always quiet but he always knows Oona's whereabouts.
"Probably getting ice cream or watching the sunset." Gil joked.
Nobody laughed. Not even a chuckle. The room just went quiet.
"Yeah...probably." Nonny says depressingly.
Nonny dug through his book bag and pulls out a pair of scissors. He snips a triangle off the end of his red t-shirt.
"Why did you do that?" Gil asked.
"You made a bad reference." Nonny replied.
Molly sits on the other side of Gil.
Deema still stands.
"Why is everyone so gloomy?" she asked.
Silence. Deema. Hates. Silence.
"Oh c'mon lets do something fun. Lets go to Goby's place. We can pick up Oona on the way there."
Molly rests her head on Gil's shoulder. Nonny stares at the cut out fabric. Deema sits on a separate couch.
"I like your shirt, Deema." Molly says breaking the silence.
"Thank you." Deema replies.
"Well, that wasn't random." Gil says sarcastically.
Nonny still stares at the triangle. The room falls silent again. So silent you can hear a teardrop hit the floor.
There's a knock at the door.
"Finally." Deema thinks.
Molly swims over to the door. She opens it and sees the two missing guppies. Oona wears a pink and white pokadot dress and Goby wears a green pull over hoodie.
"Well, hello there." Molly says as she welcomes them in.
"Hi everyone." Oona says kindly.
"Sup." Goby says relaxed.
Deema notices they're holding hands.
"Oh no. Oh Neptune no." Deema thinks with a worried expression on her face.
"Hey." Gil says with a smirk. "Now going into shipping mode."
Molly hits Gil and slightly points at Deema.
"Ah. Got it." Gil says.
Oona and Goby sits on the same couch as Deema. Nonny still stares at his fabric shape.
Deema studies him. Tears are building up in his eyes.
