There were barely any cars or trucks on the usually busy streets, for the daily news had warned the town people to stay indoors. It was an awfully stormy day, and the sun was nowhere in sight. According to what the television was saying, the girls would not be having school. At about 6:00 in the morning, Buttercup awoke to rain, thunder, and lightning. But all that went through her head was, "No school! Yes! Early weekend!" But when she turned to look at the clock, "Early in the morning, to!" She shouted. Bubbles yawned, then rolled over on her side, and continued sleeping. As she did this, Buttercup saw Octi in Bubbles arms. Not thinking her actions through, she snagged Octi from Bubbles grasp. Of course Bubbles awoke and began sobbing. This crying woke Blossom almost immediately. "What's wrong?" She asked Bubbles, who had tears running down her face. "Butter…cup…has Octi!" She replied. Blossom made an enraged facial expression at Buttercup as she lunged out of the bed and grabbed her. Once she was free from Blossom's clutches, Buttercup ran to the lab, and Blossom followed. The window of the lab had been left open by Buttercup the night before she was using it to throw water balloons at Bubbles and Blossom while they were playing outside. Next to the window on a table, sat a vile of Chemical X in a glass container. Buttercup ran into the corner where the window was. "Please, just give it back, please?" Blossom asked. But Buttercup shook her head and stuck her tounge out at Blossom. Blossom had had just about of enough of Buttercup's behavior. So she jumped on top of Buttercup and screamed "GIVE IT TO ME!" knocking the Chemical X out the window.
