Bubble's POV

I wait in the hallway for Boomer, he was using the bathroom. The halls buzzed with chatter as the dismissal bell released us about 2 minutes ago. I turn and look out the window, enjoying the beautiful blue sky when a bright pink streak zips across it.

Blossom?

I furrow my brows and wonder what's up. She doesn't usually go zooming around school grounds unless necessary. I pick up a muffled yelling and I tune in with my super hearing,

"Bubbles! Buttercup! Guys!"

It's Blossom yelling. In a flash a green streak joins her in the sky and they stop flying around and start talking. Blossom frantically waves her hands around and Buttercup shrugs, and begins looking around the school grounds.

Oh! They're looking for me!

"Bubbles?" Boomer's voice takes me away from my thoughts and I spin around. How long was he standing there?

"Boomer I-I gotta go." I say and start speed walking down the hall.

"Bubbles? W-Wait! What's wrong?" he asks, following me.

"I-I think something's wrong! I'll see you later!" and with that I take off down the hall. I slow down as I get to the front doors and walk through. I look up at the sky and thankfully they're still up there.

"Guys!" I yell and both whip their head in my direction. I zoom up and Blossom tackles me in a hug, almost sending us both crashing down.

"Woah! Blossom what's wrong?" I ask as I hug her back. She releases me and her eyes are so sad and filled with worry that I feel like crying.

"Bubs, Sedusa was here." She says and Buttercup's eyes go wide,

"You saw her too?! I was gonna tell you guys right after school but then Blossom came to me all frantic and-" she says but Blossom turns around and cuts her off

"Wait when did you see her?" she asks, and begins inspecting Buttercup. "Are you ok?! Did she do anything?

Buttercup laughs, "No mother Blossom she didn't do anything to me. I heard her talking about some strange room when I was in that empty back hall with.."

Buttercup turns red and stops mid-sentence. "Ahaaa uhm, nevermind." She says and smiles sheepishly. Blossom narrows her eyes and raises an eyebrow,

"In the empty hall with, who Buttercup." she asks and Buttercup turns away and coughs into her hand, muttering her answer.

"What was that?" Blossom asks, a smirk forming on both our faces because we already know the answer. Buttercup turns even redder as she says her answer out loud this time,

"BUTCH" She says through gritted teeth. Me and Blossom squeal as we squish her in a hug. Buttercup hasn't show interest in boys since like KINDERGARTEN this was a huuuugeee milestone.

"And what exactly were you and Mr. Jojo doing in the hall hm?" I ask, giggling.

"That empty, quiet hall, that almost nobody goes through, so there's a 0% chance of getting caught doing anything really." Blossom teases and at this point Buttercup is almost as dark red as Brick's eyes.

"SHUT UP. BOTH OF YOU." she hisses, sticking her tongue out at us. "Weren't we talking about Sedusa? NOT me."

"Don't think I'll forget about this, we are totally talking about this later." Blossom says, but then turns and looks at both of us, the seriousness back on her face. "So like I was saying, I had a run in with Sedusa earlier today. Luckily she didn't know about my ice breath so I caught her off guard."

"How did you know it was her?" Buttercup asked, "Even when I thought it was her, I thought I must've been imagining things."

Blossom chuckled, "She called Ms. Keane Ms. KINE" Blossom said and all three of us roll our eyes.

"Dumbass." Buttercup said.

"Even if she didn't do that, She had the stolen ring from the mayor's collection on her finger, and those steely green eyes would've given her away sooner or later."

"What did she want?" I asked and Blossom turned pale.

"She...she planned of shoving me into a room in that back hall...into a pool full of Antidote X" she whispers and I gasp. Buttercup utters a distressed "oh shit" and we both embrace her for what feels like the 100th time. "A-and she was receiving her orders from a guy named Mr.H..."

I feel my stomach twist into a thousand knots. There's only one being who's name starts with H, and that causes me to be filled with such dread.

"Do you think its...?" I trail off, not even daring to speak the name. Buttercup bites her lip, a nervous habit of hers.

"No." Blossom says firmly, "There were things even he didn't know about, Antidote X being one of those things and we can thank the Professor for that."

My stomach calms down now that I've been reassured, but a feeling still lingers over me. "But Blossom what if-"

"Bubs. Relax. We dealt with him so long ago. He's gone now. He's gone." Blossom says, patting my shoulder. I sigh and wring my hands, I wanted to be relaxed but I just couldn't.

"But Blossom he's so full of tricks. Always full of tricks. What if he only let us believe he's gone..?"

Now Blossom looks a tad worried, but it flashed over her face so quickly I could've missed it in a blink.

"No Bubs. We watched it happen. All three of us saw. It's over, he's gone, we're okay." she says, smiling sympathetically.

"Well, who put Ol' snakehead up to tossing us into a whole pool full of Antidote X?" Buttercup says, frustration in her voice, "I mean a whole pool full? Where did this Mr. H even get that much?!"

"Let's worry about that later." Blossom says, turning back to me. "I'm just so glad you're okay I mean she just disappeared into this cloud of dark matter, and I didn't know where she went but I was so scared she was coming after you!"

"Why me?"

"She was talking about how she was supposed to get you first, but then-." Blossom says but , a call from below interrupts.

"Hey girls? Come down we wanna walk you home." It was Brick and the boys.

"Or you could take your time I mean the view from down here is pretty great." Butch says, staring at Buttercup. Boomer and Brick snicker and nod in agreement.

The girls and I turn pink and burst out laughing.

"Shut up Butch!" Buttercup yells.

"We're coming down!" Blossom says.

"Blossom I-"

"Bubs, I promise. It's. fine." she says, and gives me a quick hug before flying down. My heart is thumping against my ribcage because I cannot shake this feeling. He wanted me first. This "Mr.H" wanted me to be first. And I know of someone who has a reason to personally want my downfall first.

And his name,

is Him.

Ok wow, I cannot offer enough apologies for my horrible updating skills. It's been an entire year (i think) and I've just been inhumanely busy. I've been working on my portfolio for college because senior year is almost upon me and so much more. Trying to get volunteer hours in etc. And on top of that my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer (she's ok now ^u^ ) so woah life has just been coming at me. But anyways yeah, i apologize and I'll try my hardest to update every weekend. Peace!
