Bubbles sits in a booth in the corner of the bar, not really doing anything in particular.

She would really like someone to talk to. Just to talk for the sake of talking.

"Hello, Bubbles."

he smiles at her, even as he wonders how she is.

"Good evening."

Bubbles looks up at him with a warm smiles, "Mister Hank! It's so good to see you. It's been too long."

He closes in and hugs her gently.

"It is nice to see you too, Bubbles. How have you been? We seem to have missed each other a lot around here."

She returns his embrace, "I'm fine." she smiles, "I guess it's a big bar, huh?"

"It does seem so sometimes. what have you been up to?"

He smiles at her and settles on the chair next to her. He has missed her terrbily.

Bubbles has missed him too. Very much so. She gives a gentle shrug, "Nothing recently."

"What about your condition?"

He cocks his head curiously. He knows what Blossom said, but he wants to hear Bubbles' take on it.

Bubbles has a feeling that he had brought this up on purpose, so she figures that she just get to the point. Though, she does wonder why he's bringing it up in the first place. More than likely, it's because he's worried, Bubbles figures.

"About being a teen." she glances up into his eyes. "It isn't a condition anymore. I'm really a teenager now."

He cocks his head, his ears canted forward.

"Why?"

His voice is kind and concerned and supportive all at once. Even if he is worried about her.

"This weird, short being called Smeagol somehow sped up my mind, I guess." Bubbles shrugs. There isn't really a best way to describe it. "It's like living allot of years all at once. I remember everything."

"Is this what you want?"

He smiles a little sadly at what she may have lost. But he hopes she will be happy.

Bubbles nods, "It is." She frowns slightly, a thought occurring to her, "Blossom has been talking to you, hasn't she."

"Then I am glad for you."

He smiles at her. Then he nods.

"She did tell me her concerns. She is frigthened and sad at what she sees as losing her sister. I dont know if what you did was the wisest course, but if it is what you want and makes you happy, I will support you however I can."

Bubbles sighs, "It is. But Alphonse and Bubbles don't seem to think so." she shrugs a shoulder, "Boomer seems okay with it."

"They miss the person they knew. She doesnt exist anymore and that makes them sad. In time, they will give you the love you knew before, but you have to give them time. I have to admit, I think this isnt the best thing you could have chosen, but I'm not your father and it isnt my place to tell you what to do."

he smiles sadly.

"I dont know what I can do to help, but I will try."

It disheartens Bubbles to know that even Hank doesn't think this was the best choice for her.

She smiles sadly, "You've already been more help than you know, Mister Hank. Thanks for listening."

"Anytime, Bubbles, anytime."

He smiles softly to her.
