-------- The Island --------

The sky of Bubble Island is constantly filled with soap bubbles. These soap bubbles are created by a combination of the heavy rainfall and a special substance in the islands ground. The island always seems to be drifting in a sea of foam.

~ Bubble Bobble Boatyard ~

Bubble Bobble Boatyard is a special made harbor. Since the island is surrounded by foam ships can't seem to directly dock next to it. Henceforth a special dock was created that allows ships to dock ways of from the island and walk down the pier to reach it.

~ Plop Town ~

A simple small town with nothing exceptional going on. It has a few shops and bars but it mostly consists out of regular houses.

-------- Docking Area --------

The only place one can dock is at Bubble Bobble Boatyard.

Ula started bouncing with joy when she saw all the bubbles, "is that is!?" she asked in a childish tone.

Link looked around at all the bubbles and smiled, "yep, this place hardly ever changes" he said pulling the dingy into the specially made dock, "that'd be the famous foam sea of Bubble island" he said pointing to the foam between them and the island

Ula giggled, "cool!" She shrieked as she picked up a big bubble and it popped in her hand.

Link chuckled a little and grinned as he stopped the dingy, he pulled up the sail and tied the boat up, "I don't know how long you'll want to stay here, but you may as well bring your stuff, we can look for somewhere to spend the night"

Ula didn't hesitate. She grabbed her bag and ran off the dingy, "where can we stay!?" she asked with excitement.

Link laughed a little and grabbed a few things before joining her on the dock, "I know a little town a little ways off, it's known as Plop Town but it's a really nice place" he said walking along the long dock that went over the sea of foam around the island

"Is it bubbly too? Of just the water?" She asked, more exited then ever. She would give anything to live in a place with a bunch of bubbles around her.

Link chuckled a little, "this whole island has bubbles floating around it, they come from this foam sea the islands got" he said pointing to the foam underneath the docks they was walking across

Ula looked down and jumped a bit, "cool!" She was acting like an overgrown six year old, "I want bubbles!" She screamed as she chanced one and giggled when it popped in her hands.

Link smiled as they approached Bubble Bobble Boatyard, they passed under a sign and Link turned off to head towards Plop Town, "well they have plenty of them here for you" he chuckled

Ula giggled, feeling more free and happy then she ever did back home, "then lets goooo!" She took his hand and led the way.

Link laughed as she tugged him along, he hurried to catch up so his arm didn't stretch and freak anyone out, "glad to see you so excited" he laughed, he followed her along the road out of Bubble Bobble Boatyard as they headed for Plop Town

Ula looked around and was speechless. She was surround by bubbles and wanted them all. she looked at Link with a goofy smile.

Link laughed as she looked at him with her smile, "go for it, I bet some won't even pop" he suggested with a laugh, it was refreshing to see her having such a good time, it reminded him of him on his first visit here

She jumped with joy and ran around. After about ten minuets she came back with a bubble the size of a baseball, "look Link!" She held it up to him childishly.

Link continued walking as she ran around and looked at the bubble she help when she came back, "If you think this is good, wait till night, they basically glow with the lights, it's amazing"

"Really!?" She asked with a shriek, "that's amazing!" She cleared her throat, "I mean.. Cool.."

Link looked at her and tried to hold back a laugh, "smooth" he said letting out the laugh, "don't worry this Island is pretty amazing" he grinned

She forced herself to roll her eyes and not run after the bubbles like a child, "lets just find a hotel.."

Link grinned as he turned back to face the path, "not to worry, Plop Town should be just up ahead, it's a pretty simple town, it has a few shops and bars but it mostly consists out of regular houses, I was actually thinking of buying one, it's always nice to have somewhere to hole up wherever you go"

She nodded and looked around the path, watching all the bubbles, "are the houses nice?" She asked, thinking that if she was going to stay here then she should have a place to live.

Link shrugged, "I like them, they're your basic regular houses, got everything you'd need and travelling around like I do basically gets you everything one could want, if you want to stay here that's up to you" he said smiling at her as the town became visible in the distance

She nodded. She wondered what a "regular house" would look like and have in it. She didn't really leave her place much, but she doubted it had three kitchens..

Link laughed realizing that regular for her would probably be three stories tall and filled with servants, "well, I suppose it wont be regular for you, but I mean a humble small town home, usually mean for a family"

She nodded and swung her bang back and forth out of boredom. She got a bit nervous when they got into the town.

Link strolled through the archway at the entrance of the town with "PLOP TOWN" written across the top, "Well what do you think about the place now?" he asked with a grin as he remembered the last time he'd been here

She glanced around, "it doesn't look to bad," she stated, trying to hide her amazement and excitement. There were so meany bubbles!

Link laughed a little, "I suppose I should welcome you to the life of the common people, they live simple lives and enjoy everything they do, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, but personally I love the sea too much to live a life here"

She nodded and looked at him sadly, "so your not going to be staying here?" Her voice gave away her disappointment.

Link looked over at her as she sounded rather disappointed, "I don't think so, I've been drifting around on that dingy for almost ten years now, I don't think I'd be able to settle down in a town, even one as great as this one, who know, with the gems and jewels I got now I might even be able to get myself a proper ship" he said with a smile trying to cheer her up

She nodded and sighed, she didn't want him to go now, she had gotten to use to his company. She looked forward as the continued walking, "will you visit?" She asked, wondering if this would end up being the last time they saw each other.

Link laughed a little, "Well since you're staying here I'll have to find myself a new navigator, who know where I'll end up without one" he said with a smile as they walked past several houses and a few shops and bars

((Is she going to stay here or come back and travel the sea?))

((Not sure yet))

She rolled her eyes, she knew she was a terrible navigator. She hit him in the shoulder playfully, "don't make me come with you," she threatened.

Link grinned at her with a sly smile, "no, no, we can't have that, you might get drunk again" he said sarcastically at the start then cheekily when he mentioned her getting drunk

She scrunched her nose at him, "maybe I'll get drunk here! I'll be by myself for the first time!" She stated and stuck her tongue out at him. The thought of being alone scared her slightly.

Link thought about going back out to sea but didn't want to go alone anymore, he was thinking of joining the Revolutionary Army, he could use his own ship, but he'd need help and he'd grown to like Ula, "well that sounds great too, you should always be yourself, even if it's you drunk and rolling around with some girl" he said sticking his tongue at her cheekily

"Hey! That wasn't my fault!" She yelled, blushing bright red. She barely remembered anything from that night, "besides, it's not proper for ladies to drink," she told him in a snooty tone, like her mother use to say when her father offered her a sip of alcohol.

Link chuckled with and at her, "who you want to roll around with is completely up to you and it's a good thing we're not proper, it makes life a lot more fun"

She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, "I don't roll around with girls," she bit out at him in a slightly playful way. She moved a strand if hair from her face, "is it lonely?" She asked vaguely.

Link wanted to point out that he didn't mean 'roll around' the way he thought she thought he meant it, but was intrigued by her question a little more then her sexual interests, "is what lonely?"

"Living by yourself.. Doesn't it get lonely?" She asked, meaning both him on the water and her in a house here. She didn't want to feel lonely.

Link thought she was talking about him leaving her here to live by herself, he then realized that it would probably be the first time she would be on her own, he remembered what it was like the first time he went out on his own, but that was a lot different, "I suppose it would be a bit but you're not as bad as the other nobles, I'm sure you'll make friends with people around town easily"

She nodded and hugged herself, she wasn't good at making friends.. She wasn't even sure why Link was still here, "what if I can't make friends?"

Link shrugged, "I can't say I've had that problem before, but it it doesn't work out then feel free to join me back out at sea" he wondered if he should tell her of his plan to join the Revolutionary Army, but decided he should only tell her if she decides to join him, as a noble he didn't know how should felt about the Revolutionaries, "but I still can't see you having too much of a problem with it"

She nodded, "I duno.. I guess I'm just nervousness..." She admitted, "this is my first time on my own.."

Link smiled at her as they walked along, "you'll do fine, and like I said if it doesn't work out, then you're always welcome back on my boat"

She nodded and looked around, actually trying to find flaws with the place. She lived it though.. It was so perfect. She sighed lightly and kept walking.

((we need to think of something :3 otherwise we'll end up like Firelight, Rp'ing about a board game or something :/))

Link looked over at her wondering why she was so quiet now, she'd been running around like crazy before, he shrugged and looked around, he saw a pub a few houses and then in the distance was the inn he stayed at last time, "well, I've been there before" he said pointing at it, "up to you where we stay though" he said thinking about how she would be the one staying here

((any ideas?))

((No clue... We could make them lovey-dovey, her parents could cat h her? I duno..))
