A/N: WickedJelly: When I read the "Read: I am to stupid to recognize its meaning" thing in your review, I laughed and went "aww" at the same time :P. Thank you for the compliments; I really appreciate it. I actually like describing things, but in drabbles I feel it's sometimes best to keep things short and sweet. Whatever. This one's a less deep and meaningful one I wasn't planning on updating right away, as a thanks for you. 100 words (as I plan on making the rest of them, if I can, unless a lot of people object x.x). I don't like this one all this much, but oh well xD.

Little Elphaba cowered in the corner, the humidity of the bathroom giving her a headache.

"Oh Elphaba," Melena crowed, refusing to use the ridiculous nickname her husband had christened her with, "silly one, bubbles won't hurt you."

Elphaba looked at her solemnly, gnashing her teeth as she replied, "Horrors, horrors."

Melena grimaced and turned to her Nessarose, who had managed to worm her way under a mound of soap bubbles, even armless, and was laughing delightedly.

Melena clapped her hands, laughing along with her youngest daughter. "Oh, Nessie!"

Elphaba abruptly wondered if bubbles would make her mother love her more.
