The Next day (Starting with Buttercup and Blossom)
The next day, Buttercup and Blossom woke up to a rain storm; which fit their moods perfectly. Buttercup, the first to awake, turned on her side to wake Blossom.
"Blossom." she said shoving her softly.
"Five more minutes…" she said still asleep.
Irritated, Buttercup yanked the covers off and shouts "WAKE UP!"
Blossom's eyes flutter open, she sits up and says "I'm up, I'm up!" Now fully awake, Blossom says "Last night, I didn't sleep well at all."
Buttercup nods her head and replies "Me either."
"I wonder where Bubbles may be…." wonders Blossom.
"So do I…" agrees Buttercup, "We should probably get going…"
Confused, she asks "Going where?"
"To school… Today is Monday…" informs Buttercup.
"I thought we were going to search for Bubbles first thing in the morning."
"I guess, we will have to search during recess and after school."
"Yeah… I guess so."
There is a knock on the door, "Girls? Are you almost ready for school?" Professor Utonium asks, his voice sounds like he's been crying.
"Just a minute, professor!" said Blossom.
After they were ready, they opened the door. He entered, and walked towards the bed and sat down on it. He stretched out his arms allowing the girls to cuddle up to him.
"Girls, we will find Bubbles…" he said.
The girls nodded their heads. Blossom then asked, "Did you call anyone?"
"I called the mayor, Miss. Bellum and Ms. Keane." he says.
"And?" says Blossom.
With a weaker voice, "And…they haven't seen her." he then adds, "But they said that if they see her they will inform me of it."
Buttercup protests, "That will take forever, Professor. We need to go searching for her! She could be starving!"
"I know…" cries the professor.
"Then what are we doing just sitting here!?" Buttercup exclaims.
"I also called the police." he informs, "Told them to hire the whole FBI if they need to… I just want Bubbles back."
Buttercup bawls, "I want her back, too!"
"Me, three!" cries Blossom.
"Now girls, I want you two to clean up and then we'll head to school." orders the Professor.
They nod their heads and go clean up.
"We're done Professor!" Blossom says walking into the kitchen of the house.
"Yeah…What she said." Buttercup says.
"Alright, come on girls." says the Professor, "I have to be somewhere today, so I need you guys to eat breakfast at school today…" he informs.
"Okay." Buttercup says.
"Kay" say Blossom.
They walk outside and enter the car to go to school.
"Bye, girls!" the professor says, seeing them off to school.
"Bye, Professor!" the girls say.
"Now remember, if I am a little late picking you up, Ms. Keane will watch you until I am able to come."
"We will!" they say.
"Good." he says, "Bye." he leaves.
In the classroom:
"Hello, girls" Ms. Keane says as she sees Blossom and Buttercup enter.
"Hello Miss Keane." Blossom greets.
"Hi, Ms Keane." says Buttercup.
As they take their seats at their table, they sigh. Their table has three chairs; right now one of the chairs is vacant. Usually Bubbles sits in that chair. Ms. Keane walks up to the girls, she knees down to their height.
'Girls, I want you to know that I will keep looking for your sister." she informs.
"Thanks…"they say.
She smiles at them and proceeds back to the front of the classroom.
"Class!" she announces, "Today I have decided to have a free day!" She winks at the girls. The class room fills with hollers of 'yeah', 'yes!', and 'Alright!'
Buttercup raises her hand.
"Yes Buttercup?" asks Ms. Keane.
"Since you said it is free day, can I and my sister go searching for Bubbles?"
She nods, "Sure. Spend all the time you want."
"Thanks." she says.
They start to walk out when Ms Keane says, "And girls?"
They turn, "Yes?"
"Good luck!" she declares.
"Thanks!" they say and then walk out.
"Where should we search first?" Blossom asks.
"I'm not sure…" Buttercup sighs.
"Oh I got it! First let's check home to see if she might have came back home."
"I doubt that…" Buttercup says.
Let's see Bubbles!
Bubbles woke up to rain, it was not pleasant. She got soaked all the way from her toes to her head. And the bag she brought was now wet. She groaned.
"Stray Bullet?" she called out.
Stray Bullet climbs down the tree and says 'Come on, we've got to get a move on before it gets dark'
"Okay…"
They fly into the sky and make their way to Townsville.
Before stopping at their destination, they made a pit stop at the diner.
"Where's the bathroom, ma'am?" Bubbles asks one of the ladies who work there.
"Say aren't you that Bubbles… that girl who ran away?" she asks.
"Um…."
"Bathroom's over there dear." she points to the left.
"Thank you." Bubbles says and walks to the bathroom.
"Poor Professor… he's been so sad ever since that little one ran off" the lady whispers.
Bubbles hears this. "They miss me." she whispers.
After they leave the dinner, they head towards the house.
"Remember Stray Bullet, I'm only going there to see if they miss me." Bubbles says.
'What makes you think they won't?' Stray Bullet asks.
"I'm not sure…" she says.
'What made you leave in the first place?'
"Um… they were fighting and I tried to break it up and they just screamed at me saying stay out of this…" she says.
'Now that isn't something to get worked up for dear.'
"I guess I overreacted?" she says meekly.
'Now remember, they might not be there but I want you to wait there until someone comes' informs Stray Bullet.
Bubbles nods and then asks, "Are you going to stay and wait for me?"
'I'll stay as long as you like.'
"Thank you."
'Your welcome'
A few hours later, they arrive at the house. Like Stray Bullet expected, nobody is home. They fly in through the window of the girls' room. Bubbles removes the spoiled outfit and replaces it with a fresh one from the closet. Her stomach growls in hunger.
She touches her tummy and says "Hungry."
'I'll stay right here. You go eat' Stray Bullet says.
"Okay." she says walking out of the room to go to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, she sees a mess of papers on the table. Curious she checks it out. The paper was of last night, it had all the places where the Professor would look for her. She sets it back down and goes to get a cup of orange juice. Once she is refreshed, she goes back upstairs.
Bubbles enters the room. She pulls out her crayola and grabs a sheet of paper. She then places the paper on the table that is in the room. She sits down, and starts to color.
As she colors, she sings her coloring song, La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la; first you take the pink and then some blue and then the green and then more pink and then a dash of blue coloring, coloring, coloring, grab another color, doo dee doo!"
She stops her coloring as she hears the door slam downstairs.
