"So, your biggest fear…" Brick said as he looked down at Blossom. The two were now sitting down in the sand at the beach. The girl's face took on a sad expression. "When I asked you that, you said it had already happened. My guess is that it was not using your powers."

Blossom nodded. "I was born superhuman like you, but when I 'lost' them, so to speak, I felt like a piece of me had died. I remember it more clearly now for some reason. The three of us were battling Mojo and Him. Mojo was battling my sisters while I battled Him. You know how Him has unusual powers," she paused and waited for Brick's nod before the girl continued. "Well, he wasn't holding anything back like he had before.

"I was so shocked that he held that much power. So, I did the one thing my sisters and I swore we would never do." She stopped. Brick waited and then asked, "What was that?"

Pink eyes met red ones. "I let all of my powers loose at full strength at the same time."

The red capped boy nodded. "I don't understand why it's such a big deal."

"It happened to Buttercup once before. She gave into a blind rage, and let everything out. She was glowing green all over, her eyes had turned to this sort of red color, but still green, and when she walked, the pavement cracked from that simple movement. When that happens to us, we lose all control over ourselves, and can't consciously do anything. Afterward, when we're done, a fierce bright light that's hot like the sun erupts from us and we fade into unconsciousness. It's like a supernova almost."

Red eyes had widened by this time. He was about to say something, but she wasn't done. "When I had become conscious again, I had no idea what had happened. I didn't even remember my name or my sisters." She laughed without humor. "I can't believe that had happened."

"So, what happened to Him?" the boy asked.

"He's been recuperating. Bubbles and Buttercup have been trying to find out where he is in order to catch him before anyone found out about me," she answered.

"You know, my brothers and I can find Him pretty easily. He did bring us back after all," Brick said.

She smiled. "That would be a great help, but I don't want to put you guys in danger. Him could easily destroy you again."

"Blossom, I doubt he could. From what you say, he's been weakened considerably. It would explain why he hasn't teleported or tried to come into contact with my brothers and me. The last time he did was two years ago when he said that he was weak," Brick countered.

The girl sighed. "Okay, but be careful."

He smirked. "Careful is not a part of my vocabulary."

"I suppose we should find the others," Blossom said while standing.

Brick jerked her back down. "There's no rush." He put an arm around her and turned her face to his.

"You're right," she said.

The two spoke for awhile longer before going back to the house. To the redheads' surprise, Butch and Buttercup weren't fighting for once. They were sitting on the same couch watching TV. Bubbles and Boomer had not yet returned from wherever they had gone.

"Well, this is a shock," Blossom said.

The greens looked over at her. "What are you talking about?" Buttercup asked in an annoyed tone.

"You two aren't fighting," Brick said.

Light green eyes rolled as Butch answered, "I finally got through to her."

Buttercup's blank expression did not change. The green eyed boy turned his attention back to the television.

The reds shrugged and sat on the floor in the space between the couch and coffee table. The two had decided not to say anything until the blues came home which wouldn't be for awhile.

Bubbles and Boomer were walking through town all day until the sun had started to set. They decided to go back then although neither of them was happy with that. The two wanted to spend more time alone, so they walked home.

"So, what do you think we're going to do now?" Boomer asked.

Bubbles thought. "Probably get Him once and for all."

The blue eyed boy sighed. "Him's not an easy one to find."

The girl groaned. "I know."

"Brick will probably have an idea of where he is."

Bubbles looked up at him. "How?"

"Well, Him did recreate us. We were raised by Mojo and Him for the longest time. It wouldn't be a surprise to know where they would be," he answered.

"Wouldn't that be a bit dangerous?"

A smile spread across the boy's face. "Of course it would be. That's what makes it fun."

Bubbles laughed. "Some things never change."

Boomer reached for her hand and kissed it. "And some things do," he said, his dark blue eyes smoldering.

She gulped and turned her face away. He made her nervous. Boomer stopped her from walking and looked down at her. His eyes were still smoldering. Her cheeks were filled with color.

He kissed her forehead chastely, and then kissed her lips. Bubbles was breathless when he pulled away only to place his forehead on hers. "You know, I've loved you for a long time."

Bubbles swallowed again. "I've always admired you," she said quietly. "The things you endured from your brothers made me see how strong you were."

Boomer smiled wryly. "I never thought you could admire someone like me."

"You've changed," she said simply.

"And I'm glad for it."

The two finally made it home a few minutes later. Brick scowled at them. It had taken them a whole day to come home.

"Where have you two been?" Blossom asked.

"We walked all day around town," Bubbles answered.

Buttercup had fallen asleep a few hours earlier. Her head was on Butch's shoulder and Butch was stroking her hair softly. "Brick wanted to talk to us, but we were waiting for you two to get back," Butch said quietly, careful not to wake the sleeping girl.

"It's about Him right?" Boomer asked as he and Bubbles sat on the other side of the coffee table in front of the TV which was turned off.

Brick nodded. "We should try to find him soon. The three of us have a better chance of finding him than the girls."

"What are we going to do when we find Him?" Butch asked.

Buttercup groaned and woke up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She realized that her head was on Butch's shoulder and quickly sat up, a bit sad to be away from his warmth.

"Well, once you three find Him," Blossom said, "you'll contact us, and we'll try to weaken him again, then put him in a specialized cell which he can't escape from."

The green eyed girl immediately understood what was happening. "So, basically, we beat the crap out of Him and throw him in jail. Sounds like a solid plan to me."

"But," Bubbles cut in and stared directly at Blossom, "if one of us loses control of our powers, we'll have to retreat."

Blossom stared hard at her. "It's not going to happen again."

"How would know, Blossom?" Bubbles demanded. "What if it happened to Buttercup or me? What would you do then?"

Pink eyes fell to the floor. "I'd get you home and stabilize you."

"Exactly."

"Bubbles is right," Buttercup said.

The ruff's nodded. "So, just in case it happens, we should be prepared," Bubbles said.

"You're right. Since when did you become so smart?" the pink eyed girl asked.

Bubbles smiled. "You're out of practice. Don't worry. It'll come back to you in time. You always said we needed to be prepared and to calculate things ahead of time before we made a move."

"I didn't think you two were listening."

"I wasn't," Buttercup interjected. "I like to just kick butt and then take a nap."

Butch smirked. "Me, too."

Everyone looked at each other and then laughed. Once they sobered up, they started to strategize and make plans along with back-up plans. It was a very productive night until they all started to yawn and nod off to sleep.
