Your comments make my day! Thank you and back to the fic.

Buttercup POV

I heard Bubbles and Blossom burst into my room. I was sobbing on my bed. Basil was whining, nudging me with her nose, when my sisters entered Basil looked wide eyed and frantic, unsure about my behavior. It wasn't your fault, stop being a cry baby, be tough! I tried to make these thoughts calm myself down, but they just made me cry harder. My sisters both ran over to me and sat on my left and right.

"Buttercup, those last words you said…were they true?" Bubbles asked quietly. I nodded my head. I'm such a weakling.

"Buttercup, tell us what happened." Blossom said softly. I shook my head; it would just bring back guilt. "Buttercup please." Blossom pleaded.

"I-I c-can't it'll…I just can't!" I shook my head vigorously.

"Buttercup we should have the right to know what happened." Blossom said more sternly.

"Please Buttercup, you can't hold this guilt all to yourself, it would be better if you confide it to someone." Bubbles said. Blossom nodded in agreement.

"Fine… It sta-rted when…"

*Flashback* Normal POV

Buttercup was jogging with Basil at her side. They were just entering Townsville's park when Buttrcup heard 5 police cars pass by blaring their sirens. Buttercup stopped abruptly and Basil looked up at her confused. Buttercup watched as the 5 cars passed by. Must be another robbery Buttercup decided. They'll be fine on their own, they always are; besides if they really needed us they would've called the hotline…

*End of Flashback*

Blossom POV

"That's it?" Bubbles asked confused. I saw Buttercup's face twist into frustration.

"You don't get it! If I had went with them I could have saved the Mayor, Ms. Bellum, and the Professor! I had the chance to save all of them! I should've seen that there were more police cars! There were FIVE! And I just ignored them! And I'm usually the one itching for a fight, but I was selfish and wanted to work on my own fitness and not the town's safety!" Buttercup said letting out her frustration.

"Buttercup it's not your fault, any one of us could have done the same thing in your situation and even if you went to check out the incident the Professor might have been dead already." I said trying to reason. "Don't beat yourself up; it isn't your fault the Professor died." Buttercup looked pained and tears still rolled down her face.

"Blossom that's not the only thing I'm guilty about." She said quietly.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You and Bubbles are the perfect little girls, but I'm…I'm nothing like that. I always cause the Professor trouble. I always get in trouble, I'm short tempered, and I'm not innocent and sweet like you two. Bubbles is wonderful at art and can always make the Professor smile. You always get great grades and achieve amazing awards at school; you can even offer astonishing discussions to the Professor. But what can I do? I always get into detention at school, I always sneak out when I'm grounded, and I probably made the Professor's life horrible…I'm not like the perfect little girls you guys are and I'm regretting everything I've ever done to make him stress and yell at me…" Tears rolled down Buttercup's face and guilt filled her features.

"Please don't think that way Buttercup…" I heard Bubbles hiccup; I turned to see that she was crying. I barely noticed I was crying, too when I felt a tear roll down my face and drop onto my leg. "You are beautiful just the way you are! And the Professor loved you just as he loved us! Don't you dare go degrading yourself! You have accomplished many things and you are to darn stubborn to see that!" Bubbles said furiously. Buttercup looked up shocked. I was a little shocked myself to see Bubbles so furious, but she was right.

"Bubbles is right Buttercup, you're only looking at the negatives of yourself. You have accomplished many things, you have worked hard to get better grades you get A's and B's do you know how proud the Professor was when he found out that you were working harder and trying in class! You are by far the best in athletics out of the three of us and you have won many awards for that. And don't forget that you are the best musically. The professor was so proud of you when you won the talent show with your guitar and your amazing singing! The Professor only stresses and yells at you because he is worried about you. He loves you very much!" I stated. Can't she see that the Professor loved her, it was so obvious!

Buttercup smiled, "Thanks guys you really are the best and Blossom you're right the Professor would hate to see me like this or any of us like this. I'm sorry guys, but I felt like I caused him the most trouble!"

Bubbles laughed, "You? Cause him the most trouble? Do you remember when I brought home that jerk of a boyfriend?"

I laughed. One year Bubbles was dating this jerk named Tyler, and he treated Bubbles like trash, but Bubbles was too loved dazed with his looks. The Professor was utterly horrified by him and tried all in his power to show Bubbles that he was a jerk. It wasn't until Tyler called the Professor a crazy loony man and a horrible father that, Bubbles punched him in the face and stepped on his toes, and of course broke up with him by chasing him down the street hitting him with cookies (that she made for him) yelling "You are the worst boyfriend ever! You're not as awesome as you think! I'm breaking up with you!"

"Oh Bubbles your not that bad remember that time when I had the explosion accident!" They both bursted out laughing remembering the time I had decided to experiment in the Professor's lab. In the end I came out of the lab with smudges of black and my hair sticking out in all directions. We began to talk about all the troubles we caused and the good times we had as a family. We laughed, we cried, we smiled.

"Thanks for cheering me up guys; I know I'm stubborn, cranky, and short tempered. But I'm gonna try to change that…at least around you guys." Buttercup smiled. "I mean you guys are the only family I have left…and…" Buttercup sighed, "I just gotta love you goofballs!" We all laughed and gathered into a hug. I was happy that Buttercup opened up to us, she doesn't have to suffer on her own anymore.

"I love you guys, too." I smiled.

"Ditto!" Bubble chirped. Bubbles and I brought our beds into Buttercup's room (it was easy we have super strength); we decided that we all needed to be together tonight. We all fell asleep in the same room just like we used to when we were little.
