Her Depression, His Comfort and Their New-Found Peace

Chapter 1 : Her Depression

A/N: Hello! It's me again, with another Powerpuff Girls Fanfic. This one will be a multi-chapter, how many I'm unsure.

~I'm posting this up to see if I should post my other multi-chapter up (Except that one has an OC). Please tell me if you would like to read that one as well in a review or PM and I will post it. I got this idea from one of my short stories and from a little bit experience as well.

~This is a BubblesxButch fic. I've grown to love the pairing and I see there are not many on this site so, as a fan of it I'm helping to contribute, with the best of my abilities. As always please R&R. No flames. I apologize for the long rant and as always enjoy your read (^-^)

She sat there on her light blue bed, in her blue room, staring out of the window. Tears slid from her sky blue eyes. Her silky blonde hair was put perfectly into their signature pigtails and went down to her mid-back. She gazed out of her rounded window, looking over the suburbs she lived in.

The golden handle on her door jiggled but, she didn't look back. Her door was opened. "Bubbles?" One of her sisters, Blossom, said. Blossom's hair was an orange red, which she put up with a red ribbon, trailing down to the back of her knees. Her eyes were a shining pink.

Bubbles made no noise but turned her head slightly, giving her sister a partial view of her face. Her eyes were reddened from crying. Just like everyone said, she was the crybaby of the group, but she had stopped her wailing sounds when she turned thirteen. She was sixteen now, just like her sisters, but unlike what everyone believed before, she was just as strong as them. Her white spaghetti-strap shirt and opened throw-over blue blouse were wrinkled from when she threw herself on her bed when she had started to cry earlier. Her jean Capri's were water-stained and she had kicked off her ballet shoes earlier.

Blossom's eyes widened slightly to the sight of her youngest sister crying. She quickly walked over to Bubbles and sat next to her. Blossom's arms wrapped around her sisters' petite form. "What happened, Bubbles? Why are you crying again?" She asked her voice hushed.

Bubbles shook her head, turning so that she could hug her elder sister. Her face was buried into the shoulder of Blossom's pink vest and white t-shirt. Her jeaned legs rested against Blossom's, which were in a jean skirt and tights. Her feet were covered by black heels.

Silence engulfed the room for a few moments until Blossom pulled back from the hug to hold Bubbles' shoulders. "Seriously Bubbles, tell me what's wrong. This has been the third time I caught you crying this week. Buttercup caught you two times, too."

Bubbles thought back to what happened earlier that made her this way.

Bubbles was rested comfortably against her boyfriend for two years, Boomer, who had his arm slung around her shoulders. They were in the movie theatre, watching as the movie came to its end. Something on the screen made Bubbles jump slightly and hide her face in Boomer's chest. Unbeknownst to her, a small smile had crept up onto his face, but when she came up to see if it was over, his facial features reverted back to his original bored-like state.

The blonde counterpart couple walked out of the cinema, hand in hand. "So how was the movie?" She asked him, smiling brightly. He looked down at her.

"It was alright." He said. Truthfully, he enjoyed every minute of it, especially with her by his side.

"I had a lot of fun! Thanks for taking me, Boomie." She said, calling him his pet-name.

His eyes narrowed slightly, out of forced will. "You know Bubbles, that name is really embarrassing. Are you trying to embarrass me, in public, too? And you're always clinging to me. I couldn't breathe that well during the movie with you constantly hanging onto me and burying your head during the 'scary' parts." He said, a bit of an attitude placed in his voice for good measure. He was lying to her. He loved it when she called him her pet-name for him, it was cute. When she constantly clung to him, he loved the feeling it gave him whenever she did that.

Bubbles' eyes widened and tears lined the brims. He did it again, he was making her cry and he hated every part of himself for doing so, but he still continued with his charade. "B-Boomer..?" She looked at him questioningly through her tears.

"Stop crying." He said angrily, the anger was directed towards him but it just seemed like he was saying it to her. She nodded a little, holding back her tears to the best of her ability but, a few slipped down her cheeks. They were gingerly wiped away by his gentle hand, as he looked at her sternly. Boomer pulled her toward him into a hug that held a silent apology.

Too soon for both their likings though, he pulled away but, gave her cheek a lingering kiss. "Go home." He said to her, still looking at her with those stern eyes. She looked at him as if to say "Why?"

"The date's already over isn't it? I'm sure you're tired and I have things I need to finish up." He said turning her in the direction of her house. When they first began dating, the first year and a half, he would always fly with her home, just to make she got there safely. Then… It suddenly stopped with him saying the same excuse over and over "I have things I need to finish up."

She nodded looking once more at him before she took to the sky, leaving behind her a trail of baby blue.

At first Bubbles believed he was cheating on her but, her trust in him was too strong and she threw that thought away. Maybe he really did have something he needed to finish up. He never hurt her after their sudden truce, when Blossom and Brick where caught kissing when they were twelve. Even before that, Boomer had found some way to soften his hits on her and even apologized at times when he really did hurt her, though it was mainly mumbled, she could still hear it. She loved him with all her heart and if you asked her a year ago, she would have said Boomer loved her completely as well, now though, she wasn't exactly sure what to make of his actions or feelings anymore.

Blossom cleared her throat, indicating that she was still waiting for her answer. She snapped Bubbles out of her small memory and thought trance at once.

Quickly Bubbles thought of something to say. "Um, well Boomer and I went to the movies and during the movie I saw something really scary, that happened to an animal and well you know how I get with animals, e-heh." Bubbles said, wiping her eyes. It was a partial truth, because she did in fact see something happen to an animal that made her want to cry, but still, she felt bad for not telling her sister the complete truth.

Blossom gave her a look, telling her that she did not believe what she had but Blossom didn't push it. Instead she let go of Bubbles with a sigh and lifted herself from the bed. She walked to the door, placing her hand on the knob.

Blossom looked back once more at Bubbles and said: "Bubbles, I know there's something you're not telling me and I know it's something you don't feel comfortable with right now to say but, if you ever need to talk to someone, you have a lot of people willing to listen. Buttercup, Professor, me even Boomer and Brick are here for you. You might even be able to talk to Butch, though I wouldn't really count on him so much in that department." Blossom gave her a small smile before she left, shutting the door quietly behind her.

Bubbles lay back onto her bed with a sigh. 'Blossom's right. I do need to talk to someone, definitely not Boomer, at least not yet. But who? Professor? No, he'll forbid me to even talk to Boomer anymore… Blossom? No I can't, she'll have Brick talk to Boomer about it, crossing Brick off too. Buttercup? Maybe…. What about Butch? Ha! I doubt he'll listen completely.' Her thoughts raged on.

'If only they knew that Boomer was the cause of this confusion… And hurt.' She finally thought, holding tightly to her pillow before drifting off to sleep.

A/N: Okie so this was the first chapter of my first ButchxBubbles fic! How was it? Good? Bad? Alright? Hope you all enjoyed! Sorry, there was no Butch in it. Please R&R! Thank you, until next time.
