Bubbles woke up to find herself back to normal. She had been terrified of that version of herself. Her eyes met the six pairs that stared at her.

"How're ya feeling?" Buttercup asked.

"Fine now," the now blue eyed girl answered. "I'm sorry Boomer, for hurting you."

Boomer smirked. "It's just a bone. Besides, it's already healed."

"Get some rest, Bubbles. You need it more than the rest of us," Blossom said.

Bubbles nodded. Buttercup followed Bubbles up to their room and stayed with her. Everyone else went into the living room except for Professor who was cleaning up in the lab. Blossom curled up into a ball on the Professor's chair.

"We'll stand watch tonight," Brick said.

"That's not necessary. You guys need rest," Blossom argued.

Red eyes met her gaze sharply. "They took control of Bubbles and tried with you and Buttercup. You really think we're not going to stay after that?"

"Brick, my sisters and I have been doing this for a long time-" she was cut off by Brick.

"You don't think we don't know that? The six of us have been fighting since kindergarten, Blossom. We know how to fight, and we're prepared to start fighting dirty, now. I won't have you become something evil," the angry red headed boy said.

"Brick," Boomer said in a warning voice.

"Boomer, not now."

Butch pushed Boomer outside. "It's best not to interrupt them or rather him."

Blossom stared at him. "I won't become evil. If I do, you'll bring me back."

Brick ground his teeth, picked up the still curled in a ball Blossom, and flew out the door.

The girl was shocked. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Flying you to somewhere we can have this conversation in private," he explained.

Blossom stayed silent as he flew to the park. The sun had already started setting. Everyone had been sitting around waiting for Bubbles and Buttercup to wake up the whole day. Buttercup had woken up two hours earlier than Bubbles and had surprisingly accepted the sandwich Butch had made. The boys stayed because they wanted to make sure the girls were okay.

He set her down on a bench, and he sat next to her. "Why did we have to talk in private?" Blossom asked.

"My brothers are worried I might be falling for you. I've not had a good past in the relationship area and falling for you isn't a bad idea. It's just strange, seeing as how we've been enemies," he answered indifferently.

Blossom's shoulders stiffened. "That's not exactly an answer."

Red eyes looked at her. "It is if I'm going to get irrationally angry with you which I was and am."

"Why are so angry with me?"

"Easy. You don't want me to protect you when you need to be protected."

"No. I don't want you to protect me when you've lost blood," Blossom argued.

Brick was about to say something when he heard a familiar annoying laugh. He stiffened as he looked at the brunette walking with a guy. She looked at him and walked over. "How've you been, Brick? I see you've found someone less pretty than me."

"I've been fine, Princess. Now, go mind your own damn business," Brick answered.

"Still as charming as ever I see," Princess said. "See you around losers." She walked back over to the guy and they left the park.

Blossom glanced at Brick. "You went out with her?"

The red eyed boy sighed. "Unfortunately, yes. Let me tell you, it was not pleasant. If she ever marries, may God have mercy on her husband."

Pink eyes read between the lines. "She hurt you, didn't she?"

He stiffened. "Yeah, she did. She hurt me more than anyone else."

Blossom scooted closer to him and touched his arm. "I know how it feels to be hurt. It may not seem like it, but I did go out with this one guy and he cheated on me, stood me up several times, and even kissed another girl in front of me. That was all a weak after he asked me to go out."

By this time, Brick had held Blossom's hand. It was so small in his. "Then, he's a jerk who deserves death."

The pink eyed girl smiled faintly. "And Princess can go through life without having someone there for her."

"Blossom, do you know why my brothers and I decided to help you?"

Pink eyes rolled. "You three are the ones who will destroy us, and no one else."

Brick smiled. "Not exactly. You know how guys are when they're little. They tease and bully the girls they like."

Blossom froze. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

He shrugged. "If you think I'm saying I like you, then yes."

Pink eyes met red ones. The girl didn't say a thing, couldn't say anything from shock. She realized her suspicion was correct. "Brick, I don't know."

"Yeah, neither do I," he said understanding what she meant. "After this mess with Bloody Pack, we'll talk more. But, for tonight, I'm your own personal guardian."

"Right. Like I need one," Blossom said.

"That's the Blossom I know and remember. The one who's been whiny lately has gotten on my nerves."

"Yeah, I know. I suppose it's time to come up with a better plan."

"You can think about that tomorrow. Let's get you home so you can rest," Brick said as he stood. He took Blossom in his arms again and flew her home. Blossom entered her house and went upstairs.

"Everything okay?" Butch asked his brother once the pink puff had gone inside.

"Yeah. It is now," the red head answered.


In the morning, the girls found the boys in a tree, dozing.

"How should we wake them up?" Bubbles asked.

"I hit the tree and manage to have all three on the ground," Buttercup suggested.

"Let's give them a 'kinder' awakening. After all, they did save us yesterday," Blossom said.

Green eyes showed disappointment. "Fine. I'll hit the tree softly."

Bubbles flew up to the tree and shook Boomer awake. "Bubbles!" Buttercup shouted.

The blue puff ignored her sister. Boomer looked into blue eyes groggily and then was so shocked that he fell out of the tree. Bubbles caught him before he fell. "Sorry."

"That's one way to give someone a heart attack," Boomer stated.

The two blues were on the ground now. "You saved my life yesterday. I never thanked you for it," Bubbles stated. She kissed his cheek and then took her place by her sisters.

Stunned dark blue eyes had followed the blonde girl. Then Buttercup hit the tree, hard.

"Buttercup!" Blossom scolded.

The green puff shrugged her shoulders, not really caring. The two dozing ruffs had landed on Boomer. Blossom helped Brick up while Bubbles helped Butch and Boomer up.

"Sorry. Buttercup isn't in the best of moods," Blossom said to them.

"It's understandable," Brick replied.

"What should we do now? Obviously, we couldn't handle Ash and Frannie on our own," Buttercup stated as she came up to the group while avoiding Butch's punch.

"We surrender," Blossom said.

Five pairs of eyes stared at her in shock. "You really expect us to do that, puff?" Butch finally said.

Pink eyes flashed with amusement. "No. We act like we surrender."

"That's not the best plan," a new voice said.

They all turned to see a girl wearing violet and black. She had black hair with streaks of violet in it. Her eyes were even violet. Everything about this girl was violet and black. She approached them and Boomer recognized her.

"You. You're the one who helped Bubbles yesterday," he said.

The girl smiled. Everyone stood in shock as they stared at the girl.

"Who are you?" Blossom finally managed to ask.

Bubbles then recognized her. "You're the girl from the dreams."

"I am," she said.

"Are you Bunny?" the blue puff asked shyly.

The girl shook her head. "I am not. My name is Violet."

"You're the one that Maverick warned us about," the pink puff said.

Violet nodded. "He fears me, because of the fact that I can overpower him and release the members of his pack from mind control. The only problem is they protect him when I get too close."

"You're not evil then?" Brick clarified.

"No."

"Why are you here?" Buttercup asked impatiently.

Violet sighed. "I'm here, because I want to help you lot. There are six members to Bloody Pack. There are six of you. You've got your work cut out for you."

"What makes you think we need your help?" Butch demanded feeling slightly offended.

"My talent lies within using the mind like Maverick. I can communicate telepathically and can be served as a link. If you're in the middle of a battle, it'd be an advantage for your enemies not to know your plans. I also have other useful abilities," Violet explained.

Bubbles hadn't been paying attention to the conversation. She was trying to remember where she had met the violet eyed girl. The blue puff's eyes widened. Bubbles tackled down Violet and hugged her.

Everyone was suddenly confused. What was Bubbles thinking?

"I can't believe you did that! You could have just called us!" Bubbles said, but she was smiling down at her old friend.

Violet smiled genuinely up at her. "Where's the fun in that? Besides, if I made my presence known too early, I'd have been attacked."

"Bubbles?" Blossom questioned.

The blue puff looked at her sisters. "Do you guys remember junior high and how that jerk face had dumped me in front of the entire school?"

"Vaguely," Blossom stated.

"Nope," Buttercup said.

"Do you remember that jerk getting beat up?"

Blossom and Buttercup recalled that event. "Violet!" They said in unison.

"Um, can I stand now?" Violet finally asked since Bubbles was still giving her a hug.

The blue puff got up and helped up her old friend.

"Care to explain?" Brick finally said.

"Violet's an old friend from junior high who beat the crap out of one of Bubbles' ex's and boy, did he deserve it," Buttercup explained.

"She moved last year and we haven't heard from her since. We knew she had powers because she helped us out," Blossom added.

Violet looked sheepish. "Sorry about not staying in contact, but I was tracking Bloody Pack."

"Why?" Bubbles asked.

The dark haired girl sighed. "How do I put this? They're a part of my family."
