Gil's Problem
A/N: Something you should keep in mind while you read this story is that all the guppies are the same age as they are in the show. If you find the idea of preschoolers consuming alcohol offensive, I apologize in advance. This was an idea I came up with on the spot and I apologize for not making them older. This is the first really edgy and risque Bubble Guppies story that I've ever written. If you finish reading this story and find it very offensive, I will no longer write edgy stories.
This was a special weekend for Gil. He was visiting his aunt, uncle, and cousins. However, Gil's cousin Brad was a troublemaker. He had recently began drinking. After a long day of visiting, Brad pulled Gil aside.
"Hey, Gil. Follow me," Brad whispered mysteriously.
Rather than being suspicious, Gil was instead curious of what Brad was up to. They went behind the house.
"Yes?" Gil wonders.
Brad pulls out a brown glass bottle.
"Try it," Brad said.
"What is it?" Gil asks.
"It's beer," Brad explains.
"I thought that was for grown ups," Gil says.
"Just try it," Brad urged while shoving the bottle toward Gil.
With no way out, Gil took the bottle and drank the beer.
"Mmm, that tastes good," Gil says.
That following Monday, Gil went to school.
"Hi Gilly," Molly said lovingly.
"Hi Molls," Gil said.
"How was your weekend?" Molly asks.
"I made a discovery, but I can't talk about it until after school," Gil explains.
After school, Gil and Molly swam home together.
"Wait, we're not going home yet. I have to stop somewhere," Gil says.
"Ok, I'll go with you," Molly says.
They head to a nearby shopping center. Gil enters a store while Molly waits outside. 5 seconds later, Gil comes out with a beer bottle.
"Uh, Gilly. What is that?" Molly said cautiously as she pointed to the beer bottle.
"This? Oh, it's nothing," Gil said. He opened the bottle and drank some of the beer. Gil belches louder than Molly ever heard.
"Oop. 'Scuse me," Gil said as he continued drinking the beer.
Molly was shocked. She knew that there was only one thing that could make people burp that loud. Alcohol.
"Gilly! That's beer! You're drinking beer!" Molly yelled.
Gil stopped drinking and wiped his mouth.
"Yes, Molly. I know I'm drinking beer," Gil said. He continued drinking it.
Molly was perplexed that Gil was still drinking it.
"GIVE ME THAT BOTTLE!" Molly shouted as she tried to take the bottle from her boyfriend.
"No, Molly. It's too yummy!" Gil said as he pushed her back.
He quickly drank what was left of the beer. By the time Molly snatched the bottle, it was empty.
"Gilly, how...how could you?" Molly said with a concerned look on her face.
"I can explain. See, my cousin Brad, who's a bit of a troublemaker, made me try some beer over the weekend and...yeah that's it," Gil explains.
"I...I just don't believe it," Molly said as she put her hand on the side of her head.
"Look, Molls. It's not a big deal. I just started drinking," Gil says.
"Well I want you to stop," Molly said.
"I will stop. Just...not right away. Molly, can you promise me something?" Gil said.
"Promise me you won't tell ANYONE about this. Please, Molly. I don't want to get in trouble," Gil pleaded.
"Well...ok, Gilly," Molly said hesitantly.
"Aw, thanks sweetie. You're the best," Gil said. He put both his hands on both of Molly's cheeks, kissed her forehead, and swam home.
Molly picked up the empty beer bottle from the ground and stared at it. Gil's smart. Surely he'll come to his senses and stop drinking, Molly hoped. She threw the bottle in the garbage and swam home.
