Miss X enters the heart of Bubble town

After her failed search of the elusive Yeti and the Royal Bengal Tiger in South Asia, Miss X returns once again to her Bubble Island which she lived for 2 decades of her life. From the cow-filled dusty streets of Kathmandu, she is transported back to the island of Gen Y strawberries and Gen Z mango puddings. Unlike her first return from the land of the free last year, she was wiser this time round to avoid heading straight to the heart of Bubble town to prevent herself from being suffocated by the artificial air that the Bubbles have learnt to live and breathe in. Despite her valiant attempts to avoid the strawberries and puddings, she couldn't avoid them altogether. She wanted to grab the leaves of the strawberries and give them a good shake, especially when she discovers that she knew much more about what was happening on Bubble Island in her absence than this tribe of strawberries who have spent their whole lives on Bubble Island. But then she knows that she'll probably squash them if she handles the strawberries too harshly. And she is starting to find it hard to control the impulse to smash those little puddings whenever they kick up a fuss on which latest transformers toys they wanted. She is at a point where she dosen't know if it is better to smash those wobbly puddings now so that they at least reform themselves into something sturdier in the future or leave them alone to the strawberries and risk them becoming spoilt rotten puddings. Worse of all, she looks at the strawberries sitting on top of those mango puddings and she wonders if the dessert combination is well, just nice, but not really that essential to the rest of main course meal.

So Miss X once again leaves the heart of Bubble town feeling irritated, depressed and alarmed by the rate of how the strawberries and puddings are morphing into full-time Bubbles that accost one in mobs and disappear as suddenly as they arrive, leaving one with a slightly uncomfortable smell of soup in the air and on one's clothes.

And so Miss X awaits for the onslaught of Bubbles in a month's time. Will she finally succumb and morph into another Bubble? Or will she X her way through the Bubbles to break free of Bubble Island? The end is near...


PS: I hate mangoes and puddings.
