P.S-
Be sure to check out my new GR story I put the (short) prologue up the other day! It's called stuck in reality!
(Butch's POV) (A/N- yes for the last two chapters I thought it would be fun to change up some POV's so HA! my story my rules if I wanted I could make everyone a blue cow floating on Pluto with lots of tape dispensers!)
The Star-Eater turned to dust and inside I exploded with relief it was finally all over. But just as I was about to celebrate I head a thud from next to me. When I looked over it scared me. Buttercup had fainted from what it look like. Was it from this battle? Probably not she was stronger than that. Then why had she fallen after this short battle? I was starting to get worried when Blossom ran over to her and checked her vitals.
"Okay... okay she's fine but I don't know why she passed out." Blossom looked almost terrified as she said this in a shaky voice. "Why did she pass out? Does anyone know? I mean she's too tough for this to be from the fight so what happened?"
We didn't have time to react it looked like BC was going into shock. Without thinking I walked over to Blossom. "She needs to get to a hospital!" Without arguments I picked her up bridal style and flew off towards Townsville ER. Suddenly they were all there. Blossom, Bubbles, Brick and Boomer. All of us traveling as friends and for some a bit more. It took a couple minutes but when we got to the ER I ran in. "We need a doctor now!" About three nurses came over and helped the still shaking girl into a stretcher and wheeled her off. Another came over to me and started asking all these questions. Things about who I was and who she was. All that dumb crap.
Without really listening I walked back towards where they wheeled her off. I looked from window to window trying to look for any sign of Buttercup. Room after room.. no BC. Finally almost at the end of the hall I saw her in a room. She had been hooked up to a bunch of wires and was still convulsing. A nurse walked out of the room a few seconds later and saw me with my face pressed to the glass. "Sir? You need to sit down on one of the benches please."
I looked over at her wanting to yell but I was too worried about what had happen to Buttercup. "Can I stay near this room?"
She sighed. "Well I guess. Do you know this girl?" She looked up slightly at me. I'd say she was a little shorter than BC.
"Um yeah... she's my friend." I mean for now she was, there was no real boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. we had only gone on one date and it had only lasted about an hour and a half. So I don't think were really 'together' yet.
The nurse brought me a small fold up chair and I sat staring through the window of the ER.
(Blossom's POV)
Butch had followed Buttercup right into the operation section of the ER. He didn't even seem to care that a bunch of people had been trying to stop him. But no he went back there anyways. Which surprised me, because when did Butch care? Oh yeah he had been on a date with my sister this very day.
So after talking thoroughly with one of the doctors about my sister condition. Well and of course who we were, I was allowed back there too. Brick, Bubbles and Boomer stayed in the waiting room trying to think of something to do while they waited. Mostly Bubbles was a nervous wreck like always but right now I wasn't concentrating on my little sister. I was thinking about Buttercup and Butch.
How long had they been friends? Because if they had been like this for a while then they were good at hiding. Did Buttercup know about the attack that was maybe a month ago now? How had this all happened in the first place?
Suddenly I cam across Butch sitting on a cheap fordable chair in the hallway staring into one of the rooms. I assumed this was my sister and I sat on the floor next to him calmly peaking into the small room where two or three doctors were working.
"This is all my fault." I heard him mutter. What? How was this his fault? Why was he blaming himself for all this?
I looked over at him. "What do you mean?" Yeah I know.. I know. 'What do you mean?' That line is over used. But right now I just didn't have anything smart to say. So I silently waited for his reply.
It seemed like it had been years when he finally replied. "If I had never... kissed her on that rooftop a month ago. If I hadn't saved her from that building collapsing. When the Star-eater first attacked if I hadn't saved you both from it... This never would have happened. If I had never asked her on that dumb date. I shouldn't have come back to Townsville this was all a mistake..."
Wow, I wasn't really expecting that. "Well I mean I don't think this is any of our faults. I think it has something to do with that creature we ran into earlier... I mean maybe it somehow affected her?"
All I got for a reply was silence, wow nice conversation. But right now I didn't really care... I only really cared about my sister right now. I had to stay strong... for BOTH of them.
(Bubble's POV)
I sat in the dimly lit waiting room with Boomer and Brick. I was starting to wonder if I should go back after Blossom, but seeing the state Buttercup was in might make me start to be all emotional. So I just lightly clung to Boomer's wrist. Not wanting to bother him too much.
"Do you think she'll be okay?" I whispered to Boomer. I could see Brick sort of glare at me from the small corner he had decided to sit in. No really he had actually pulled and entire small couch over to a darker corner and was just lounging around like he owned the place. What was with him my sister could... die. Couldn't he show ANY hospitality?
I felt Boomer's hand squeeze mine. "Don't worry Bubbles I'm sure everything will be alright." But I could still hear the uncertainty in his voice. Which only made me a little more worried. So we sat there in the same odd silence hat we had been sitting in for a while. Boomer reading a magazine, but I think he was just flipping the pages to keep himself occupied. Then Brick was still sulking in his corner blasting his iPod that he somehow still had. It was so loud I could hear it ten feet away. Or was that just the super hearing? I was glancing nervously around at Boomer and Brick also at the random patients that were coming into the building or leaving in a wheelchair or walking out.
Slowly I felt more and more like I HAD to go check on Buttercup, Butch and Blossom. Just because my constant worry had to stop. Maybe I did need some type of therapy to get rid of my over acting emotions like Buttercup said. I knew when she said this that it had been a joke. But... maybe she was right.
So slowly I let go of Boomer's hand and walked back into the ER. Bracing myself for what I might see.
(Buttercup's POV)
All I could see was darkness, there was nothing at all just empty black space. Where am I? I mean I remember fainting after the fight but why was I in dream land. This was all so... so weird. I felt like I could feel people around me. Some I didn't recognize ans some were more... accurate. Like I could tell that Butch and Blossom were near by and Bubbles, Boomer and Brick were somewhere close too.
"What is happening!" I yelled in my mind, it was almost like I was actually stuck in a little dark box. Not just stuck in my head for whatever reason.
Suddenly a tall dark figure stood before me the dark area I was standing in lightened a bit. But just enough to let me see the silhouette of the being. Then what appeared from the shadow shocked me beyond belief.
It was me.
But I looked different, really different.
I had long hair that went down to my elbows it was the same color. My eyes had no pupils and were only lime green. My skin was completely smooth and a light tan. Since when was I tan? Anyways, I had on a Black dress that went to mid thigh and was really ruffly. Then I also had tons of different necklaces in shades of green around my neck and waist. Why was there another me? Oh and she also had a black silhouette that was coming off of her like wisps of fog.
"Well it's about time you got here." She sounded almost like me only I want to say.. older?
I just sorta shrugged. "Um I'm sorry but I don't really know what you mean. Because I feinted and now I'm here... so I'm just confused."
She rolled her eyes and looked slightly down at me. "Well were in your mind. And I'm here to help you answer some questions."
"Oh so your my alter ego?" She did sort of resemble my old alter ego that I called Mange. But that was when I was five this is now. Ten years later.
It was her turn to shrug. "Well I guess. So before I forget we need to answer your questions and from what I hear you have many. Like about that Rowdy Ruff named Butch. Oh, and about those creatures the Star-Eaters. Didn't you think you made those up?"
I just nodded letting my subconscious do it's work. This was really all so weird and with every passing second I just got more and more confused. "Um yeah I guess... but then why were they... real?" This was all very weird.
"Well you see Buttercup, you have powers that you don't even know about. You were the one who created those creatures. Two of them are dead now but there's still another out there, and you are the only one who can stop it."
I looked up at her. "What?"
(Blossom POV)
We sat in silence while they worked on Buttercup I didn't even know what they were doing but I really didn't want to know. For the first time in my life... I was scared passed death. This was more terrifying than when I was hospitalized a couple weeks ago.
This hallway was getting less and less crowded as the hours went by. All of us must have been at the Emergency Room for at least four hours now. They were still pondering over what had caused this. Earlier they had come and asked me and Butch about her to try and figure it out. But I don't think we helped much.
I thought I could take the opportunity to ask Butch some questions but he just stared through that glass. By midnight we were the only two there besides our siblings, doctors, some nurses, and other patients. I know it seems like a lot but it was actually about... eh thirty to forty people? Compared to the day time when there's about a hundred its a big difference.
This whole thing was just strange and every minute I thought about it the more my brain hurt. How was this even logical? Why had Buttercup feinted. Was she going to be in a coma? If so then for how long?
I pulled out one of my favorite books, it had all of Shakespeare's plays in it. I think it was published in 1942. So it was an old book.
All that thinking had made me more worried. And gave me a bad headache.
(Butch's POV)
I didn't feel the least bit tired. All I could think about was Buttercup... and how this was all my fault. When you looked at everything bad that happened this last moth it all leads back to me in some way.
When the doctor did finally come out of that god forsaken room he walked up to me and Blossom. Who sadly was still sitting on the floor reading some old book.
"Buttercup will be okay. We think she is just at war with herself for some reason. ….. and also she's in a coma. But we don't know when she'll wake up."
WHY WAS IT ALWAYS A COMA!
