Bubble Guppies Holiday Novels & Stories

Gabby wore pink glitter sunglasses and named every fish like they were members of her palace staff. “That one’s Princess Bubble.” “That’s a clownfish,” Xavier said. “She can have two jobs.” Mama bought too many souvenirs because “they’re still little, Ara, don’t be stingy like a Swiss accountant.” Papá bought more at the shop next door when Mama wasn’t looking. In the end, we came home with two stuffed sharks, one plastic crown, an octopus-shaped fridge magnet, and Al crying because Gabby said his shark “had no emotional depth.”

AMBER'S POV . I was in the sitting room with Rose, we were both trying to decide on the best helium balloon colors to opt for against the intimate surprise birthday party I was planning for Emmett. Thanks to Rose and Wynne, I was able to get the information about Emmett's birthday that he never celebrates and had never been at home for until hopefully this year.

Just then, a message from Sophie popped up. [Honey, tons of private videos from hotels and clubs have leaked online after the holiday season! So scary! Luckily, we didn't do anything risky… but still, I can't help but worry.] She attached a censored video as an example. I opened it out of curiosity. Although the video was blurry and the sound was altered, one short clip struck me. The people in it looked just like Tessa and me! "Damn it! What's going on?" I gripped my phone, barely containing my rage. I called Tessa immediately, demanding, "Where did you post our video?"

It's been two weeks since the school year started. Things are starting to get real because of the projects and assignments that the teachers are giving their students. It's the spring season, and the first semester of the year. Friendship are being built, for some, romantic relationship. Olga Fuentes and Xavier St. John are no different. They met each other through a friend, and since then, they became boyfriend and girlfriend. However, they are the most hated couple in school. They always have their fun by bullying other students. No one wants to fight back because of their association with out of school youths that live in on the south side of town, the gang members.

Bonus points if they ask who Gerald is. “Absolutely not,” William said. Haley looked scandalized. “You want to crush Gerald’s dreams? His first holiday?” From inside her tote, she dramatically pulled out the tiny pumpkin from earlier, drew two googly eyes on it with a marker, and set him gently in the cart cupholder like a VIP guest. “I stand corrected,” William muttered. “Gerald deserves justice.” “We can do this,” I said, grabbing his hand and dragging him toward the outdoor vendors. “Come on. Let’s find someone with a selfie stick and poor judgment.”

With the holiday season coming up, I decided to return home after being on a business trip for the last six months, wanting to give my wife, Zara Hudson, a surprise. I was shocked by the scene I was greeted with when I stepped through the door. The originally simple but upscale decor of my villa had been replaced with an old-fashioned and overly luxurious style. However, what shocked me even more was how my wedding photo with Zara had been replaced with an intimate photo of her with a young man.

She didn't get the chance. Holiday clapped her hands once, sharp and percussive, and the moment dissolved. "Change of plans." Maya immediately distrusted every word that was about to follow. Holiday turned the tablet around. The photo was everywhere. Her and Hunter outside Night Haven, millions of comments and shares and reaction videos reacting to other reaction videos because humanity had fully lost the plot. "We're accelerating the timeline." Even Hunter went slightly still. "Your public debut as a couple. You're attending the charity gala tonight."

When I clicked back into the work group chat, hundreds of new messages had piled up. Stanley's name was right at the top, indicating he was typing. "Oh, by the way everyone, I forgot to mention. Dylan's restaurant is giving out free seafood gift bags to everyone when we leave. Don't forget to grab yours!" The group chat exploded. "Gift bags too? I want scallops, sea cucumber, and smoked salmon!" "All six of us from my family are coming. Do we get six bags?" "Can I swap the sea cucumber for premium wild caviar? My wife just had a baby and needs the premium stuff."

Ashwin's eyes lit with joy. Jagger, Noah and Ford looked at each other. "Baby Guppy"? "Daddyyyy. Amusement park. Yayyyy". ---- Tabby
