Chapter One : Townsville Bridge
Blossom Utonium's Pov
The city of Townsville,the place where I had fought countless amounts of villains and evildoers along side my two sisters, and to be honest with you, I was growing tired of it. Sure,at first saving the town was thrilling and exciting when you're five years old because it's pretty much what my sisters and I were born to do but over the years it became tiring especially when I became older and wanted to live a normal life.
My sisters,well... sister Buttercup thought I was crazy after our latest fight with the RowdyRuff Boys,that was when I had finally reached my breaking point. It happened while I was battling my counterpart Brick for like the millionth time,that I decided enough was enough.
Flashback to the Puff/Ruff fight earlier that day
" Oh what's the matter pinky? Am I moving too fast for you?" Brick taunted me
"Whatever Brick."I said deflated "Let's just finish this so I can go home okay? "
"Okay Pinky,What's with you? "asked Brick almost as if he really cared "I thought you liked when we fight each other. "
"Not anymore..."I said as I slowly shook my head "I'm tired Brick,I just can't anymore."
"If you want a way out so bad,why not steal some of that antidote X your professor keeps in his lab?"Brick suggested " It'll be a damn shame though you giving up your powers..." Brick said as he flew off in a flash
Antidote X huh?...Maybe that's the only way...I thought to myself. Realizing that I had left Buttercup and Bubbles alone fighting with Butch and Boomer, I lifted off into the sky and saw my two sisters still fighting. Instead of lending them a hand,I flew off for home where I locked myself in my bedroom until they get home.
Lying in my bed I thought about the conversation I had with Brick,and started to think about whether or not my sisters could handle the villains of this city without me. While I was so deep in thought,I snapped back to reality the second I heard Buttercup's voice hollering up the stairs for me.
" Hey Blossom are you up there? " Buttercup shouted
" I'll be down in a minute." I hollered back
Leaving my room,I floated back downstairs and saw my two sisters along with the Professor sitting in the living room talking about the fight from today. Greeting them with a fake smile which is something I did very ofteh now,I took a seat next to Bubbles who greeted me with a cheerful smile.
" So Blossom! I hear that the three of you fought the RowdyRuff Boys today."said the Professor
"Yeah. " I said as I looked at the floor
"Are you kidding me ?! Blossom was awesome when she threw old Brick head through that building. "Buttercup said as she re enacted some of the fight
"I guess he really had it coming huh?"I said uneasily
" Blossom are you okay?"Bubbles asked me with worry
" Yeah bubbles, I guess I'm just tired from all of the excitement from today."I lied
"Im not."said Buttercup "In fact,Im going to go blow off some steam down at the gym."
"Dont be late for dinner Buttercup. "said the Professor
"I wont professor! "Buttercup shouted as she ran out the front door
Now all that was left in the house were Bubbles, the Professor and myself. All was quiet until I heard Bubbles say something about going over a friend's house, and then it was just down to two.
Assuming that Professor had some kind of experiment to do down in his lab,I got up from my seat and was about to float up to my room, when Professor asked me to help him down in the lab with his latest scientific discovery.
Sighing as I agreed to help,we went downstairs to the lab where it still looked the same as the day that I was "born". While the Professor went to go find what he discovered, I looked around the lab and found a few small vials of Antidote X. Carefully picking up one of the vials,I heard the professor call my name.
" Blossom, could you come over here please? "asked the Professor
"Coming Professor!"I said quickly shoving the vial into the pocket of my jacket
Finding out that Professor had discovered an unknown planet some where past Saturn,I congratulated him with a small hug as he smiled back at me. Spending a few more minutes with the professor, I looked at the time on my cell phone and asked the Professor if he had eaten anything today. Placing a hand upon his chin,the Professor looked up at me and scratched his chin for a minute until he finally spoke.
"You know, I dont think I have. "the professor sighed
" Come on professor,I'll make you something to eat." I said as I grabbed my father's hand
After the professor and I left the lab,I went into the kitchen and made him a tuna fish sandwich and poured him a glass of iced tea. Remembering that I have the antidote x in my jacket pocket,I quickly handed the professor his food and then race upstairs to my room,as the professor calls out my name.
Locking myself in the bedroom, I sat on my bed and rolled the vial between my fingers as I hear the words that Brick had said to me earlier that day. Staring downat the vial,I suddenly heard the sound of my two sisters outside of my bedroom door.
Before I could hide the vial,Buttercup walked in my room and plopped down on my bed. Trying my best to conceal the vial,I accidentally dropped it. And before I could grab it,Buttercup beat me to it and had an angry expression on her face.
" Mind telling me why you have a vile of Antidote X? "asked Buttercup
"I was planning on using it."I sighed
" Using it on who? The RowdyRuffs?"Buttercup asked still holding the vial
"No. I was going to use it on myself."I said "So please give it back to me Buttercup. "
" Blossom, why would you do that to yourself? "Bubbles asked me with tears in her eyes
"Because Bubbs,I'm tired." I explained "I'm tired of fighting crime day in and day out,and nobody appreciating the fact that we've been risking our lives since we were five."
"But I thought you loved being a powerpuff, and saving lives."said Bubbles
" Not anymore. "I shook my head " All I want to do now,is live a normal life away from crime fighting. "
" Funny how you just want to give up just like that. "said Buttercup
" And just what do you mean by that?"I asked as I became annoyed
"Oh nothing, except I never thought I would see the day that leader girl would take the cowards way out. "said Buttercup as she crossed her arms
"I don't care what you think,I don't need your approval on anything I do. So, if you dont mind..."I said as I held out my hand
"Whatever leader girl."Buttercup huffed as she threw the vial on my bed "Come on Bubbles,lets go. "
" Blossom..."Bubbles said as she statred to cry
Townsville Bridge Present time
With the image of my younger sister crying still fresh in my mind, I sat on the railing of the bridge ready to drink the antidote x when suddenly a bright red flash came across the nighttime sky.
