Bubbles the Bear and the Colossal Cocoa Cup

5 min 39 sec

Bubbles the polar bear loved two things more than anything in the bright white Arctic.
He loved splashing in a warm bath, and he loved sipping cocoa so chocolatey it made his whiskers twitch with joy.

Every evening, as the sky turned pink and the snow began to sparkle, Bubbles waddled to his favorite little pool.
He plopped in with a happy splash, pulled on his tiny green bathing cap, and hummed silly songs about marshmallows.
Then he took slow cocoa sips while snowflakes drifted down and tickled his nose.

One chilly morning, when the sun was barely awake, Bubbles noticed something that made him stop mid waddle.
A cup.
Not a normal cup.
A cup so huge it looked like a mountain made of shiny ceramic.

It stood right in the middle of the snowfield, steaming like a gentle dragon sigh.
The smell was so wonderful it felt like every birthday treat and cozy winter night had gathered in one place.

Bubbles blinked.
He rubbed his eyes with both paws.
He blinked again.

The cup stayed exactly where it was.
Worse, it wobbled just a little, and thick cocoa waves sloshed over the rim, dotting the snow with chocolate freckles.
A marshmallow the size of a sofa floated by, bobbing politely as if it had somewhere important to be.

Bubbles giggled so hard his belly jiggled.
Polite marshmallows were his favorite kind of surprise.

He crept closer, leaving round pawprints that looked like shocked little circles.
When he tapped the cup’s side with one claw, the sound rang out like a teacup bell, only giant sized.

Warm steam curled upward, carrying the smell of cinnamon, whipped cream, and happy thoughts.
Inside the cup, Bubbles spotted something dangling down into the cocoa.

A ladder.
Made from licorice ropes and candy rungs.

At the top, frosting letters swirled in a fancy loop.
They read, Climb if you love bubbles.

Bubbles adored bubbles more than he adored making fish jokes, and that was saying a lot.
He grabbed the ladder and began to climb.

Each step stretched like soft taffy beneath his weight and bounced him higher with a gentle boing.
The licorice tasted faintly like cherries, which made Bubbles even happier.

When he reached the rim, he leaned over and gasped.
The cocoa seemed endless, like a deep chocolate sky, with marshmallows floating like slow, sleepy stars.

A rubber duck the size of a walrus drifted past wearing a monocle.
It gave a dignified quack and offered Bubbles a tiny towel with a serious little nod.

Bubbles took it because manners are important in any situation, even ridiculous ones.

He dipped one toe into the cocoa.
It was perfectly warm, like sunshine melted into a mug.
So Bubbles slid in with a big joyful splash that sent cocoa spilling over the sides.

The overflow didn’t make a mess.
It formed little steamy cocoa springs across the snow, as if the world had decided to become cozy on purpose.

Bubbles took a sip.
It tasted like the warmest hug he had ever gotten.

He took a second sip and felt his fur tingle in a happy way.
He took a third sip and his tummy made a satisfied rumble, like a cheerful walrus singing in its sleep.

Then the giant cup began to rotate, slow and gentle, like a quiet merry go round.
Foamy sparkles rose around him and twisted into glowing words in the air.

Bathe bravely, sweet bear, and earn your prize.

Bubbles laughed because prizes were wonderful, especially prizes with bubbles involved.
He dunked his head, took a deep breath, and blew chocolate bubbles that floated upward like glossy balloons.

Each bubble popped with a tiny musical sound, like a toy kazoo playing a bedtime tune.
Bubbles made more bubbles, then more, then a whole sky full of them.

When the very last bubble popped, the cocoa shimmered, and for a moment it looked like the northern lights had poured themselves into the cup.
A warm buzzing sensation started in Bubbles’s toes and zipped upward through his body.

He felt lighter.
Lighter than a snowflake drifting on a calm breeze.

With a soft little pop, Bubbles rose into the air.
He hovered above the cocoa, smiling in surprise, while tiny sparkling bubbles orbited him like happy moons.

Bubbles had become the world’s first cocoa powered floating bear.
He laughed so hard the cocoa wobbled again.

The rubber duck clapped its wings politely.
Bubbles tested his new talent and discovered that if he wiggled his paws just right, he could glide through the air like a fuzzy balloon.

He zoomed in gentle loops, drawing steamy hearts above the snow.
He tried a slow spin.
He tried a tiny barrel roll.
He felt like a warm dream with paws.

Then he noticed something below.
A group of little snow mice huddled together, shivering so hard their whiskers trembled.
Their tiny ears drooped with frost.

Bubbles drifted down carefully, scooped them up with his fluffy tail, and carried them to the cocoa cup.
He lowered them in like a warm blanket being tucked around friends.

The mice squeaked with relief and began to paddle through the cocoa using little twigs like oars.
They sang tiny grateful songs that sounded like squeaky lullabies.

Bubbles felt warmer inside than outside, which is impressive when your outside is literally a mug of hot chocolate.

As he floated away from the cup, Bubbles noticed something else.
Wherever his paws touched the snow, small puddles of cocoa appeared, perfectly warm for chilly toes.

He tiptoed across the white field, leaving behind little cocoa pools shaped like stars and hearts.
Arctic foxes came trotting up and lapped happily, then did joyful spins like they had learned a secret dance.

Even a grumpy snowy owl, who usually looked offended by everything, let out a tiny chuckle.
Bubbles decided that his new power was not just floating.
It was sharing warmth.

All afternoon he filled little dips in the ice with cocoa, turning them into steamy splash pools for baby seals.
Everyone toasted marshmallows and traded knock knock jokes until their cheeks hurt from smiling.

Eventually the giant cup began to shrink.
Smaller.
Smaller.
Smaller.

Until it was only the size of a thimble.
It plopped neatly into Bubbles’s paw, still warm as a freshly poured sip.

A tiny note dangled from the handle.
It read, Keep this. Refill it with laughter whenever you need warmth.

Bubbles tucked the thimble cup under his little green cap, where it glowed like a soft night light.
He waddled home through the snow, leaving behind a faint trail of cocoa steam.
If you looked closely, the steam almost seemed to spell out a message.

Kindness is warmer than chocolate.

That night Bubbles returned to his favorite pool.
He tipped one single drop from the thimble into the water.
Instantly, the pool filled with the coziest cocoa bath you could ever imagine.

Bubbles sighed, took a slow sip, and hummed a brand new song about floating bears and brave little mice.
Above him, the northern lights shimmered like rainbow bubbles, matching the sparkles that still drifted around his head.

From that day on, whenever anyone felt cold or lonely, Bubbles shared a thimble splash of warmth.
Because warmth shared is warmth doubled.

And the Arctic felt softer that winter, not because the weather changed, but because giggles did.
