Ok so here is Chapter 2! Y'all (I come from a redneck family) are really nice. I'm glad you enjoyed the first chapter. BTW this story will have 3rd person POVs like last chapter but this chapter will be half Bubblina's POV and half Barry's. This will also be mostly just a short filler chapter but you might get another hint on what disorder Bubblina has.
Disclaimer: I do not own Wreck it Ralph or the OCs or iPhones (you'll see why I say that in the beginning of the chapter)
Bubblina's POV
It was near 7 am when I started getting tired. Yea I know I really did stay up all night but I couldn't help myself. After all I didn't really take the pill like Barry thought I had. I swear I really HATE those pills. They always just remind me of my situation and what the kids- no wait bullies, they were far too mean to be called innocent kids, said. Even though everybody has what I have at some point, usually when they're little, I somehow have an incurable case of it while it only lasts like a night or two for others.
Anyways I knew I couldn't sleep by this point because my brother was either going to call or check up on me in a few minutes. He always changes it up but if I am correct (which I am almost always am, a little egotistical but it's true) he's going to call me. And 3...2...1...
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lie- came blasting from my pink cased iPhone before I picked it up. I smirked seeing it was Barry. 'Right on cue.'
(A/N: Bubblina will be regular while Barry will be italics.)
"Hello?", I said with a fake groggy voice giving the impression I had just woken up.
"Good morning Bubblina. Did you sleep well last night?" He must have been up for a little while because he sounded wide awake. I put on speaker phone and started getting dressed for the day.
"Oh good morning Barry. I slept pretty good last night." I lied. I did feel guilty about lying to my brother but he wouldn't like it if he found out I wasn't taking the pills like I was supposed to. The problem would eventually fix itself. I started thinking about the pills and the kids again when I heard Barry's voice.
"Bubblina? You still there little sis?", Barry said with a slightly worried tone. I guess I had zoned out and he had been trying to tell me something.
"Huh? Oh yeah I'm still here. I just zoned out for a moment." I started mentally hoping one thing. 'Please don't ask why I zoned out. Please don't ask why I zoned out. PLEASE don't ask why I zoned out.' was what kept repeating in my mind. I grabbed my hairbrush and started to brush the tangles out of my hair. I didn't have very many because I had been sitting up pretty much the entire night.
"You were thinking about the kids again weren't you?" I froze and stopped brushing. I silently cursed Barry for knowing me so well. "No I wasn't," I replied with my voice going 2 octaves higher than normal.
"Bubblina..." Barry now had warning tone in his voice. Which meant I would be in trouble if I didn't say the truth. He might have been cocky last night when he said he was older than me but it was actually true that he was in charge of me. However this also led to him being overprotective of me. I couldn't go anywhere by myself and if I went out with a friend, he had to have met the friend first. The only reason I was allowed to live by myself was because he lived next door. So much for freedom. I decided that I was ready for the day and put Barry off speaker phone.
"Ok I was thinking about the kids again. What if what they said was true?", I told my big brother.
Barry's POV (This time he will be in regular text and Bubblina will be in italics)
"Bubblina? You still there little sis?", I said in a worried tone. I had asked her if she wanted to go see one of the races today so we could see the track and know what terrains there were but she hadn't responded. I had a feeling she had zoned out thinking about the kids that bullied her. She did that from time to time.
"Huh? Oh yeah I'm still here. I just zoned out for a moment.", my sister's voice said through my blue cased iPhone. I knew she zoned out but she could have been thinking about what Sugar Rush was like. After all I had also been thinking about what our game was like. Well only one way to find out. "You were thinking about the kids again weren't you?"
"No I wasn't." I knew she was lying 'cause her voice was 2 octaves higher than it normally was. I hated when she lied to me. "Bubblina...", I said with a tone that meant she was on thin ice. "Ok I was thinking about the kids again. What if what they said was true?"
I sighed. Even though it was just a backstory and it never technically happened, she was still programed to have lived it. Which meant that she knew each and every memory of the kids that bullied her. In fact, they had bullied her so much instead of 'those kids' we referred to them as 'the kids'. In my mind they were just a bunch of idiots that didn't know how to respect people and accept them for who they are. In Bubblina's mind, they were people that pointed out her flaws, but they mostly just teased her about her situation. "Bubblina they were just idiots that couldn't respect people", I replied, hoping that she would believe me. After all they were partially the reason that Bubblina believed that the problem could fix itself and why she would be so stubborn about taking the pill. But she knew she had to take the pill.
I didn't understand a word of what Bubblina said next. "Barry, I have been diagnosed with a disorder that should be for a temporary amount of time but my case is incurable and I have to take medication every night. How would they not be true?" I tried to understand what the heck my sister just said but couldn't make it out. I might be older but she was a lot smarter than me. I won't admit it but it is true. "2 things sis, 1: Because I love you for who you are", I said knowing that she was talking about one of the kids saying that I probably didn't love her. Now my backstory included me putting the kid in a hospital for a broken arm for saying that. He was the only one that stopped teasing Bubblina after that. "And 2: What in the name of code did you just say?!", I continued overdramatically to make her laugh. It worked. I smiled as I heard her giggle.
"Never mind Barry", she said still giggling a bit. I remembered that I had asked her if she wanted to see the races. "Oh by the way, do you want to go see the races after breakfast?" We usually went out to breakfast, either with each other or with a friend. I didn't want my sister to be by herself at any times except if she was at home since I lived next door. "Ok. Oh and Jerry told me about this diner that we can to for breakfast if you want", I heard Bubblina reply. I frowned at the mention of that berry themed boy's name.
"Uh Bubblina are sure that yo-" I was cut off.
"Yes I am 100% sure that I can trust Jerry!" I threw my hands up in response but then remembered that she couldn't see me and just sighed," Ok, ok. If you say so. I'll be over to get you in about 10 minutes."
"Remind me again why we can't just meet up at the diner." She would always ask that when I said I would come get her. I would usually just say because I wanted to take her but this time I actually had a really good excuse. "Because I have no idea where the diner is and only you know how to get there. And I thought you were the smart one", I said playfully while smirking. I heard her fake gasp and say that she was going to go back to sleep if I was going to be rude. I told her that we both knew she couldn't do that even if she tried her hardest. She told me I better be here in 10 minutes or less or else she would leave by herself. "Ok I'm coming." I said bye and quickly hung up.
I got dressed as quick as I could knowing that she was serious about leaving. As I got ready, I thought about my sister's situation and thought that maybe I should ask someone for help to find a permanent cure for her. But I then remembered that I had promised to keep it a secret.
And I would keep that promise if it made Bubblina happy.
It wasn't as short as I thought it would be but it's still just a filler chapter. Anyways you have a couple more hints on what you think Bubblina has. Let's go over them:
She has to take pills.
She has a disorder that usually happens to you if you're a little kid but it isn't permanent and doesn't really require medicine or pills most of the time.
She couldn't go to sleep because she didn't take the pills.
She wouldn't be able to go back to sleep even if she tried.
This is actually a real disorder in real life.
That's it for now. This actually isn't a well known disorder but maybe someone could get it. I will announce what disorder she has if someone gets it correct.
Anyways, Read'n'Review! P.S. The ringtone that Bubblina chose for her phone was 'Really Don't Care' by Demi Lovato.
