A/N: Prelude is from Bubbles' point of view.
Prelude
I laid the flowers along Blossom's bed.
"Please, wake up."
I flew to the graveyard, and laid lilies on Buttercup's grave.
"I love you, Buttercup."
My name is Bubbles Utonium. I am 16 years old, and I am a Powerpuff Girl. Well, I was a Powerpuff Girl. Until the day it all fell apart.
5 years before...
Riiing! Riiing! Blossom picked up the hotline.
"Blossom! Blossom! This is Mayor! The Rowdyruff Boys are attacking a bank with the technology they stole from the Professor's lab!"
"We're on it, Mayor!" We flew to The First National Bank of Townsville. I swooped down at Boomer, Blossom at Brick, and Buttercup at Butch. They were ready for us, and knocked us out of the building into a nearby office. They flew over, as fast as they could, a pulled out the stolen tech. Knives the could penetrate Chemical X, used as surgical knives for us. They all smirked and held us down, but when his brothers weren't looking, Boomer brought me to hide in an alleyway.
"Boomer, why did you save me?"
"No time. Stay here, you'll be safe." I peeked out from around the corner, just in time to see Butch stab Buttercup's heart.
"BUTTERCUP!" I screamed. I didn't care anymore. I leaped out from my hiding space and knocked Brick away. His knife slammed into her head, and she was knocked out. Butch charged after me. Boomer sped into him and knocked him to the floor.
"Get out of here! Just take your sisters and run!"
"B-but... I don't want to be alone." Boomer slammed Butch into a wall, and used his sonic scream on Brick. Quickly, he grabbed Buttercup, as I grabbed Blossom, and we flew away. He dropped her down on a rooftop.
"Boomer..."
"Bubbles, I have to go fight them. You know that," Boomer said, a sympathetic look in his eyes. "We'll meet again, I promise."
He flew off, leaving me standing there, alone, with my sisters in my arms.
It's been five years. I visit them every day. Buttercup is dead. Blossom is in a coma. And worst of all, I haven't seen Boomer since. Did he really die for me that day?
