Meeting Gloria in the Bubble

Sam

One day, two kids named Luna and Ruby were outside. You see, they had found a tube of bubble mixture, and they were very, very excited because they loved to play with bubbles. As they started to blow the bubbles, it was starting to float into the air. But they noticed something different about these bubbles. They were coming into some kind of shape. They were forming different patterns and then they were doing very strange things. As they watched, the bubbles continued to do all kinds of ridiculous shapes and circles and patterns and got more and more intricate. Until Luna looked very, very closely at one of the bubbles.

Luna

Um, Ruby?

Ruby

Y-yes, Luna?

Sam

said Ruby.

Luna

There's people inside the bubbles.

Ruby

What?

Sam

said Ruby.

Ruby

What are you talking about?

Luna

Look!

Sam

Ruby and Luna looked very, very closely at one of the bubble patterns that was flying around, and sure enough, inside they could see tiny, tiny, tiny little people. One of the people inside started to wave. Luna and Ruby were very confused. They waved back, and as they waved, a noise came out of the bubble.

Gloria

Um, excuse me, are you Luna and Ruby?

Luna and Ruby

Huh! Y-yes,

Sam

they said.

Ruby

H-how did you know our names?

Gloria

Well, we've been waiting for you to start blowing these bubbles for quite a long time, and we're so glad that you have finally started.

Luna

But who are you?

Sam

said Luna.

Gloria

My name is Gloria,

Shrinking Into the Mixture

Sam

said the tiny little girl inside the bubble,

Gloria

and we thought that you would like to be part of our bubble pattern crew.

Luna and Ruby

Huh! Really?

Sam

said Luna and Ruby.

Gloria

Really!

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

Come on.

Ruby

But how do we get in there?

Sam

said Ruby.

Ruby

It's too small.

Luna

Yeah,

Sam

said Luna.

Luna

It's- it's tiny.

Gloria

Don't worry about that,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

We've got many things to be able to help you. Firstly, just pop that tube of bubble mixture on the ground.

Sam

So, the girls popped the tube of bubble mixture down.

Gloria

Then jump into it,

Sam

said Gloria.

Ruby

Um, that's not gonna work,

Sam

said Ruby.

Gloria

Trust me,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

Give it a go.

Sam

So, Ruby and Luna looked at it, very, very confused.

Ruby

I-I think we can do it,

Sam

said Ruby.

Luna

Or we'll just squash the bubble mixture,

Sam

said Luna.

Ruby

Oh, well, we may as well try. Do we need to do it one at a time?

Sam

called out Ruby.

Gloria

No,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

You can hold hands and do it together.

Luna

That sounds a lot better.

Sam

So, Luna and Ruby held hands, and at the same time they jumped. As they jumped, they shrunk down teeny, teeny tiny- Shoom! straight into the tube of bubble mixture.

Ruby

What is going on?

Sam

said Ruby.

Luna

We're in bubble mixture!

Ruby

How can we breathe under the bubble mixture?

Sam

They could hear a voice from outside the tube.

Gloria

Now you have to blow your own bubbles.

Learning Bubble Controls

Luna and Ruby

What?

Sam

said the kids, very confused.

Gloria

Just start blowing!

Sam

called out Gloria from outside the tube.

Luna

O-okay.

Sam

So, Luna and Ruby started to blow. Fwhoo! Fwhoo! Fwhoo! And as they did, almost like blowing up a balloon, giant bubbles started to form around the outside of them. Well, it was giant for how small they were, but really they were just normal size bubbles. Until Ruby was in one bubble and Luna was in another.

Ruby

That is amazing.

Gloria

Now you need to get out!

Sam

said Gloria.

Luna

How do we get out?

Sam

said Luna.

Gloria

Well, put your mouth to the side of the bubble and then blow on the outside.

Ruby

Um, okay.

Mission To The Kinder

Sam

So, the girls put their lips to the side of the bubble, almost as if they were kissing the edge of it, and they began to blow. As they did, Fwooh! their bubbles started to float straight out of the tube, until they were in the air as well.

Luna

We're floating!

Sam

said Luna.

Ruby

This is amazing!

Sam

said Ruby.

Gloria

Now you have to control it,

Sam

said Gloria.

Luna and Ruby

How do we control it?

Sam

they said.

Gloria

Have a look.

Sam

They looked around the inside of their bubble, and sure enough, there was some kind of strange control panel.

Ruby

What is this?

Sam

said Ruby.

Gloria

That's how you control the bubble,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

Come on.

Sam

They sat down at their control panels and started to push the buttons and pull the levers, and they learnt how to float their bubbles. One made them go up, one made it go down, and another one made it go from side to side, and there was a button that every time you pushed it, the bubble would squeeze flat and then go big again. It was so much fun. They played and they played until Gloria said,

Gloria

Okay, it's time now. We need to do something very important.

Luna and Ruby

What do we need to do?

Sam

said the kids.

Gloria

Well,

Sam

said Gloria,

Gloria

there's actually a kinder around the corner, and the kids have been having a bit of a tricky day, so we thought we would take our bubbles over to the kinder and make a big bubble show for them to make sure that they all have a wonderful time. Do you want to help?

Luna and Ruby

Sure!

Sam

said the kids.

Luna

That sounds like fun.

Gloria

Alright,

Sam

said Gloria,

Gloria

follow us!

Star Formation And Show

Sam

So Gloria's bubble flew off first, and all the other people in the bubbles followed along behind. Ruby and Luna joined in, and they sailed together in a V shape that helped them go super fast, like ducks as they flew. It was amazing. The girls loved it, flying over everything, being so teeny tiny small, and seeing the world from such a different angle. As they flew and they flew, they could see in the distance a tiny little playground at a tiny little kinder. They flew over the fence and into the yard. And there the kids were all playing in the yard, but they didn't look overly happy. They looked a little bit sad. You see, all the play equipment at their kinder had actually broken the day before. And so, even though they were outside for playtime, there was really nothing to play with.

Gloria

Alright,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

Now is our time to shine.

Luna

What do we need to do?

Sam

said Luna.

Ruby

Yeah,

Sam

said Ruby.

Ruby

W-what do we need to do?

Gloria

Well,

Sam

said Gloria,

Gloria

follow us.

Sam

As she flew into the air, the girls followed along.

Gloria

Alright, everybody. Is everybody ready?

Sam

They could hear everybody on some kind of intercom system coming through their bubbles.

Bubble person 1

Ready, Gloria.

Bubble person 2

Yes, Gloria, I'm ready.

Bubble person 3

Following along.

Sam

As they flew in the formation, Gloria started to yell,

Tornado Tricks And The Kids Join In

Gloria

Okay everybody, press the star button!

Sam

The girls looked down at their control panel and saw a star button, and they pressed it. When they did, all the bubbles together formed a giant star over the top of the kinder. As the kids from the kinder looked up, they were amazed.

Kinder kid 1

Look, there's a star up there!

Kinder kid 2

Oh, that looks like fun.

Kinder kid 3

Amazing!

Kinder kid 4

That's exciting.

Gloria

They haven't seen anything yet,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

Alright, everybody, now pull the star lever!

Sam

The kids looked across and they saw the star lever inside their bubbles.

Luna

O-okay.

Gloria

Everybody ready! One, two, three, pull!

Sam

As they pulled the lever, something amazing happened. They didn't just stay in the shape of a star, all the bubbles started shooting out tiny little star bubbles. As they started to fly out from the star shape, they flew down amongst all the kids, shooting out tiny star bubbles that got bigger and bigger until the entire playground was filled with star-shaped bubbles.

Kinder kids

This is amazing!

Sam

yelled the kids.

Kinder kids

Hooray!

Sam

As they danced and played with the bubbles, Gloria continued to call out commands.

Gloria

Alright everybody, now's the time for the spin! Press the swirly button!

Sam

The girls looked down and they saw it. They pressed the swirly button inside their bubbles, and their bubbles started to spin, and then the bubbles all around them formed into a big circle, and then the big circle started to spin. It got bigger and bigger until it made a tiny little bubble tornado. The bubble tornado got bigger and bigger, and then out the top came spinning bubbles. The bubbles flew into the air, and the way that they spun made them stretch and compress into different shapes, and then as they flew out, they popped. But when they popped, the spinning air caught the popped bits and blew them into new bubbles.

Kinder kids

This is the best!

Sam

yelled the kids. The kinder teacher came out to see what all the kids were yelling about. She was amazed as she watched the bubble show. All the kids sat in a perfect line, and then they continued to watch.

Gloria

Alright,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

It's time for the kids to have some fun too. Are you ready?

Bubble person 1

Ready, Gloria.

Bubble person 2

Yes, ready Gloria.

Luna and Ruby

Ah, we're ready too,

Sam

said the kids.

Gloria

Okay, now everybody fly directly at a kid and make sure that you crash right into their chest.

Luna and Ruby

What?

Fireworks And Flying Upside-Down

Sam

said Luna and Ruby.

Ruby

Crash? But what will happen to us?

Gloria

Don't worry,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

It's all part of the fun.

Sam

So, when Gloria yelled "Go!" all the people inside the bubbles flew down towards the kids and flew straight towards them.

Kinder kid 1

That bubble's gonna crash into me!

Kinder kid 2

Oh, this will be fun!

Sam

As the bubbles flew down and crashed into the kids, they exploded into millions of tiny bubbles. So many bubbles that the kids got caught up in bubbles as well. And they started to be able to fly around too.

Kinder kid 3

What? This is incredible!

Gloria

Hello children,

Sam

called out Gloria.

Gloria

We're here to help you have lots of bubbly fun. Alright, take control of the steering wheel inside your bubbles and follow me!

Sam

The kids from the kinder were having the best time, and Ruby and Luna helped them all to be able to learn how to use their bubble flying machines. Gloria taught them all big tricks and new formations. It was so much fun.

Gloria

Alright, Ruby, it's your turn to control the bubbles.

Ruby

What?

Sam

said Ruby.

Gloria

Yeah,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

You can call out the commands.

Ruby

Um, o-okay,

Sam

said Ruby.

Ruby

Um, everybody press... She looked down at the control panel to try and work out which button to press. Um, press the one that looks a little bit like a- a question mark?

Gloria

Oh, good choice,

Sam

said Gloria.

Ruby

What does it do?

Sam

said Ruby.

Gloria

Don't worry, just wait and see.

Ruby

O-okay, um, one, two, three, press!

Sam

As everybody in the bubbles pressed the question mark, something incredible happened. Because no longer were they inside just bubbles, the bubbles started to split, and then they started to fill with some kind of strange, strange sparkling. And then the bubbles that were around them started to explode into tiny little bubble fireworks. P-chew! Pchoosh! Pew! Zhew! Pssh! Nyeow! Pssh! All the kinder kids were laughing and giggling. Gloria was so happy.

Gloria

Your turn, Luna! Call out a command!

Luna

Um, everybody fly upside-down,

Sam

she said.

Gloria

Good call,

Sam

said Gloria. And so all the bubbles tipped up the other way, and everybody was flying around upside-down in their bubbles. It was so much fun.

Gloria

Alright,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

It's time for us all to get back to what we're meant to be doing. We'll see you later, kinder kids. Have a good day!

Sam

As Gloria called, all the kinder kids' bubbles popped, and the kids landed straight back on the ground. Their teacher was so happy. She smiled and she waved as Gloria, the bubble team, and Luna and Ruby flew off back to Luna and Ruby's house. When they landed in the yard, Luna and Ruby's bubbles popped, and Gloria started to speak to them.

Gloria

Thank you so much for your help today,

Sam

said Gloria.

Gloria

We couldn't have done it without kids just like you. Alright, we'll see you later!

Sam

said Gloria. And with that, her and her team flew off into the distance, making incredible formations as they flew. As Luna and Ruby walked back inside, their mum was there waiting.

Mum

Hey girls, did you have fun playing with the bubbles? What did you end up doing?

Luna

Well,

Sam

said Luna,

Luna

I don't think you'd believe us, even if we told you.

Sam

And that is the end of the story.
