The moon shone through the window, casting bright beams across the tri-colored bed. Three little girls slept peacefully side by side, nestled under the blankets. Blossom mumbled in her sleep and turned over, Buttercup was punching the air at her invisible enemies, and Bubbles was just softly cuddling up to her favorite plush Octi. The light atmosphere was suddenly darkened, the air felt stifling and a scent of spice filled the room. A red billowing cloud entered the room, dipped onto the ground and dispersed, revealing a tall lean figure. Cloaked in the shadows of the darkest corner, what only showed was a gleam of white teeth twisted up into a smile.

Bubbles groaned a little then slowly opened her baby blue eyes, she blinked a couple of times trying to bring her back from the sleepy express, when she noticed that she was not the only one awake. Her small body jolted with fear as she noticed a pair of jade green eyes staring at her from the darkness, an arc of teeth shone through the dark. She quickly rubbed her eyes and looked again, she saw nothing in the room staring at her. She snuggled back under the sheets and held Octi close to her. Closing her eyes she tired to fall back asleep, but the air was thick, almost sucking the breath out of her. She turned over trying to get comfortable. Minutes passed and she found herself still awake. The heat some turned to an uncomfortable prickle under her skin, and the feeling that she was being watched. She sat up and looked out into the room, the green eyes stared back at her. She whimpered as she tried to rouse up her sisters.

"Girls, girls. There's someone in the room!" She whispered hastily to them.

Blossom glared in her sleep. Buttercup just kicked. Bubbles took a shuddering breath as she looked out once more. The green eyes stared at her, almost beckoning her to come closer. Bubbles took a deep breath and climbed over Blossom out of the bed, and closer to the figure. The air become heavier and the scent of spice increased. Bubbles tried not to tremble, "What-what do you want?" She said trying to keep her voice steady.

The figure said nothing, but instead stroked her blond hair. She flinched. "He don't do that-" Her voice cracked with fear as she tried to smack away the offender's hand. Her eyes widened as she felt the offender's claws.

"You, HIM! What are you doing here?" She queried as she struggled to keep her voice at a low level.

The red skinned demon smiled down at her, "Well my dear-" His high flamboyant voice echoed loudly. Bubbles hushed him by covering his mouth with her hands.

"No! You're too loud! Go away!"

HIM smirked behind her hands, "Oh then when should I come back my dear?" he said an octave lower than usual.

Bubbles glared at him. "Not ever! You're not allowed here!"

HIM calmly removed her tiny hands, "Oh but my dear Bubbles. I'm only here to talk; and to help you."

Bubbles halted. "Help me? Why would you want to help me? You're our enemy."

Bubbles knew the difference between right and wrong and had a strong sense of justice, yet she was very much a naïve little girl and believed that everyone has good in them and could change.

What is HIM doing, he's our enemy! He's always doing really bad stuff and making everyone sad or really mad!

HIM smirked at the child as her thoughts shown through her eyes. "Yes I am the Powerpuff Girl's enemy, but you my dear, I don't have to be your enemy."

Bubbles was about to speak out when HIM covered her mouth gently with his claw. "Hush dear girl, your sisters will wake. Let's talk again real~ soon~." After his words he disappeared. Taking along the stifling atmosphere and scent of spice.

Author's Note: So I seem to jumping around a bit. My first fanfic was an Invader ZIM one from my Jr. High Days, then I did a few OroXSaku/OC drabbles, now I'm doing a PPG fic. Wow does time fly by. I haven't written anything like this for a while so please be gentle. I was at first planning on doing a oneshot but…this could actually be something. Critques would be nice but reviews are favorable for mah ego.
