Author's Note: Hello, this is my first fanfiction. I hope you like it. This takes place when they were around five. They don't have their powers during this story, so I'm trying to make this story as realistic as i can. Please try to enjoy yourself.

It was a quiet, cold snowy morning. She just woke up from a nightmare that kept replaying over and over again. Bubbles took a look at the little clock on the wall. It was about 6, everyone was still fast asleep. She put on some clothes and slipped on some shoes and headed out across the street to the park.

Bubbles sat down on a park bench and watched dawn come. It was a breathtaking site. The snow looked so white and beautiful. Watching the sun rise and looking at the snow always made her feel a little better, but she still couldn't help thinking about what happened that dreadful day. She sat up and started making a snowman of her father, her sisters, and her mother… She's not here anymore… Their mother had died in a car crash, because she pushed Bubbles out of the way so she wouldn't get harmed. It was a terrible, bloody site, Blossom and Buttercup witnessed it as well.

"Why, why, why? Why did I have to see it? Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't God take me instead of her? Why am I always the useless one who always needs someone to protect me?" She thought to herself.

Bubbles felt tears welling up in her eyes and started crying her eyes out. "Sniffle, sniff… Mommy… I'm so sorry… Please don't leave us…. Please..."

"Crying for your mommy, eh?" said a boy's voice out of nowhere. Bubbles looked up at the boy; he had kind of curly hair and a dark shade of blue in his eyes and looked about her own age..

"Come on, don't be such a crybaby. I can't stand it when girls start crying."

Has he been watching her the whole time? Bubbles immediately became embarrassed and flushed red. He was probably going to make fun of her, like typical boys around their age would, but he didn't.

"Who-o a-re you?" Bubbles asked as she was hiccupping.

"I'm Boomer, and you?"

"Bubbles, wh-at do y-ou w-ant?"

"Just strolling around and I just happened to come across you. Why are you crying?" Boomer frowned.

"My mommy is gone and she can't come back." Tears started to well up again, but Boomer clamped his hand over her mouth so she stopped.

"Please don't cry anymore." Boomer was getting quite tired of the crying and the whining.

"Well it's not like you understand! I bet your mommy is safe and sound in your home!" Bubbles started to get angry.

"You're right, I don't understand… You see, I don't have any family except for my brothers, so I don't know what's it like to lose somebody, but it's lonely. We have to stay at a orphanage and they don't treat us well." Boomer sighed and noticed that Bubbles got kind of wide eyed.

"Oh I'm so sorry I didn't know… It's just that ever since my mommy's death, it's been really hard for me and my family."

"It's okay. I'm not mad." He blushed. She was a really cute girl.

Bubbles sat in a swing and Boomer sat in another and they started talking.

"Aren't you sad that you have no family cept your brothers?" Bubbles asked.

"No not really." Boomer replied.

"Why should I be sad if I don't even know them?" Boomer sighed.

"Oh..."

Boomer got off the swings and Bubbles felt something cold hit her. She turned around and found Boomer with a grin on his face.

"Hey, no fair! I wasn't ready!" She shouted as she prepared a snowball to throw at Boomer.

Boomer stuck his tongue out at Bubbles.

"Heh! You can't hit…" Boomer was interrupted with a snowball to his face.

"Ha! Got ya!" Bubbles giggled.

"Why you…" Boomer grabbed a bunch of snow together and threw it at Bubbles.

The snowball fight lasted for about an hour. It was the first time Bubbles has laughed in months! She was actually having fun and not feeling so guilty for once.

Boomer looked at the clock pole it was almost 8 and he would get punished if they find out he's not in his room, because 8 was the time everyone was supposed to wake up. He really didn't want to leave though.

"Well I'd better get back to the orphanage." Boomer told Bubbles.

Bubbles became disappointed that he had to leave. She was really starting to like him. Boomer noticed the sad and disappointed look on Bubbles' face.

"Don't worry we'll see each other again someday." He took off his necklace and put it in Bubbles' hand. It was a silver cross necklace.

"Why are you giving me this?" Bubbles stared at Boomer in curiosity; he gave her a warm smile.

"I've decided, lets get married when we get older."

"Huh?" Okay, now she was a little confused.

"I know we just met, but I think I love you, I guess its love at first site?" he confessed, as he blushed.

"Promise you're not lying?" She held out her pinky.

"Pinky swears." He kissed her on the forehead and ran off.

As he was running off he yelled to Bubbles, "Stay strong!"

Bubbles stood there blushing madly. She examined the necklace and saw that it had Boomer's name engraved in the back. She put on the necklace and smiled once more. This was the first time in months that she felt truly happy.

"Mommy, I think I'm in love." She whispered to herself.

At that time, she swore she saw her mother standing before her happy to see her happy. Since that one morning, she swore to herself to stay strong for Boomer, her family, and for herself.
