The Search for Bubbles<\/div>\n
The Side Quest \u2013 Operation IMA Liberation<\/div>\n
Hero\u2019s Journal Bubbles Fan FICTION<\/div>\n
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/div>\n
This is a work of fiction. It is entirely a product of my imagination. Well, other than the people. The places are mostly real. However, the circumstanced are entirely FICTIONAL. And time is an illusion.<\/div>\n

\n
The box truck pulled into the Wendy\u2019s parking lot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI thought you were kidding,\u201d Angela said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cNope.\u201d Tacie replied. \u201cWhere\u2019s everyone else?\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cGetting Frosties,\u201d Angela replied. \u201cWe got you a vanilla.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cAwesome!\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Bubbles Raider came out of the Wendy\u2019s near the port carrying an assortment of bags and cups.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWe thought we should eat first,\u201d LL said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Bubbles Raiders sat down at a picnic bench and spread out a map. The map showed the location of all the cargo containers at the port.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWhich one are we looking for?\u201d Cheyenne asked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Skye consulted a piece of paper. \u201cContainer 808. But there doesn\u2019t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the placement! They seem to be random.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWe can find it,\u201d said LL confidently. \u201cLet get at it.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Bubbles Raiders studied the map as they ate, looking for the right container. \u201cAH-HA!\u201d Angela said triumphantly. \u201cIt\u2019s in section 6, row 1.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI miss Mirjam,\u201d Cheyenne said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They all nodded. Mirjam had to go back home to finish up her work and take her final tests. \u201cShe\u2019s with us in spirit,\u201d Skye said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cBecky, Heather and Tonya are meeting us in the parking lot of the port,\u201d Tacie said<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cAnd Melissa & Ilissa have bail money ready,\u201d Cheyenne giggled.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cEveryone ready?\u201d Tacie asked. The Bubbles Raiders all nodded and said yes. \u201cLet\u2019s go liberate some journals.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They all hopped in the box truck and headed to the port.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWait!\u201d Angela exclaimed. \u201cHow are we going to move over 3,000 journals?\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cNo problem,\u201d Tacie said. \u201cI\u2019ve got a forklift in the back.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When they got to the port, the stopped at the gate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cPaperwork,\u201d a bored guard said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Tacie handed the guard and packet of papers and waited. Now the would see how good the Bubbles Raiders skills in document creation were.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The guard handed the papers back. \u201cContainer 808, 6th section, Row 1,\u201d he said in the same bored voice.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cThe car behind me is with us to help,\u201d Tacie said. The guard looked suspicious. \u201cWe are just girls,\u201d Tacie said in her most vapid voice sounding like a complete airhead.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cGo on,\u201d the guard said gruffly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Bubbles Raider drove to section 6, row 1 and hopped out. \u201cThat is a lot of containers!\u201d LL said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI hope its on the bottom,\u201d Skye chimed in<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cLet\u2019s find it and get out before they realize we aren\u2019t really the trucking company,\u201d Angela said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWon\u2019t the guys be surprised when we show up with a truck full of journals,\u201d Heather said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Bubbles Raiders fanned out looking for the right container.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
After a short time, Becky called out, \u201cOver here! And we\u2019re in luck. It\u2019s on the bottom.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Tacie pulled the truck up to the container and unloaded the forklift, while Tonya opened the container.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a lot of journals!\u201d they all said at once. And then giggled.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cLet\u2019s get at it!\u201d Tacie said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Bubbles Raiders loaded the truck with the journals and the forklift.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWe will see you at the HJ warehouse,\u201d Tonya said as she, Heather and Becky climbed into the car.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cReady, ladies?\u201d Tacie asked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go surprise the Lads,\u201d LL said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When the Bubbles Raider pulled up to the warehouse Nick, Kyle & Tone came out. \u201cHey Guys!\u201d Nick said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d Kyle asked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Bubbles Raiders just looked at each other and giggled. \u201cWe brought you a present,\u201d Skye said as Tacie opened the cargo door of the truck.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Kyle and Nick looked in the truck. \u201cNo way!\u201d Kyle said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cHow did you get them?\u201d Nick asked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWe\u2019re the Bubbles Raiders,\u201d Angela said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWe can do anything,\u201d LL added.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cNow, move so we can get these off the truck for you.\u201d Tacie said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
AND that is how Nick & Kyle got the IMA journals delivered. Or not.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
