Blossom, Bubbles, Brick, Butch, and Boomer were all sitting on the couch at the Powerpuff Girl's house. The Professor was in his lab trying to save Buttercup's life. Everyone was sad about what had happened to her but Butch seemed to feel the worst. He hadn't said a word since they first got there, and he had this cold look on his face.

Bubbles looked at Blossom. "Do you think Buttercup will be ok?"

"I…don't know Bubbles…but don't worry she's strong and wont die that easily."

That answer just made Bubbles feel worse. Usually Blossom knows just about everything, especially when it was about her sisters. It was sad that she actually didn't know if Buttercup was ok.

"You know this is her fault," Brick said. "She was the one who gave her life energy to Butch. She's the one to blame."

Butch suddenly stood up and grabbed his brother by the neck. "It wasn't her fault, nothing was her fault!!!"

Brick try to get free from Butch's grip, but it was useless.

"Let him go Butch." Blossom said.

After a few seconds Butch finally let Brick go, then he flew up to the girl's room and slammed the door.

"Man what's his problem?" Brick asked.

"Isn't it obvious? He's worried about Buttercup." Blossom said.

"I know that but with the way he's acting its like he loves her or something."

Nobody said anything after that. Butch and Buttercup were the last two people who would fall in love, but Brick was right he was acting like he loved her.

The professor finally walked in with tears on his cheeks.

Bubbles flew over to him. "Well? Is Buttercup ok??"

"…N-no…s-he is…d-dead…" He fell on the floor crying.

Everyone just stood there with there eyes widened. Buttercup was actually dead, it was unbelievable.

Blossom started crying along with Boomer.

Brick arranged his hat so that nobody could see his tears.

Bubbles just stood there. Her pupils had shrunk and her eyes were open wider then they had ever been. "B-Buttercup's…gone…" She fell to her knees and tears started to stream down her cheeks.

Professor Utonium finally stopped crying so much and looked around. "Where's Butch?"

Brick was the only one who wasn't crying so much that he couldn't answer. "He's in the girl's room." He said still not letting any one see his tears.

The Professor nodded then slowly made his way up the stairs. When he reached the door he sighed before he slowly opened it. He was surprised to see Butch crying on the bed, it was the first time he had ever even seen a tear come from his eye. "Butch?"

Butch looked at him then quickly wiped his tears away. "How's Buttercup???"

Professor Utonium didn't answer him. He knew Butch was the one who was the most worried, so he wasn't sure how to tell him.

"Well?!?!" Butch demanded.

"She's…dead…"

Butch's eyes widened for a second then he just looked down at the ground as more tears began to stain his cheeks. "That can't be…"

The Professor didn't say anything.

"That's impossible…she can't be dead….she just can't!!!" Butch hovered in the air. "She can't die!!! I WONT LET HER!!!!!!" He flew full speed down to the Professor's lab and picked up Buttercup's body, and then he broke through the ceiling and flew toward the forest.

Everyone rushed to the lab when they heard the sound. They gasped when they saw that Buttercup was gone.

"Where is she?" Blossom asked.

"Butch took her…" The Professor said as he walked into the lab.

Bubbles walked to him. "Why?"

"Because he cares about her, he doesn't want to lose her."

They all just looked down until Brick spoke.

"I'm telling you he loves her."

Nobody responded.

In the forest near the lake...

Butch sat Buttercup down against a tree and looked at her lifeless body. After studying it he could see that she really was dead. "No…NO!!!" He punched a tree. "There has to be a way to save her!!!" He then got an idea. He grabbed her and laid her down on the grass, next he cut himself with a switchblade and drew an alchemy symbol around her with his blood. "This has to work." He waited for something to happen, but nothing did. "…damn it." He started crying next to her body. He didn't notice the red smoke forming in front of him. Then he heard a voice.

"Hello Butch."

He looked up and saw the last person he expected to see. "HIM?!?!"

"Yes it's me. I'm here because you tried to revive someone using ALCHEMY"

"Oh…so when someone uses alchemy you're the one that makes it work?"

"That's right, now what do you have of equal value?"

"…The only thing equal to a life…is a life." Butch looked around and saw a random man walking by. He quickly jumped on him and beat him until he was unconscious, then he took his body to Him. "Here's your life."

Him looked at the body for a moment. "Ok." He moved his claw and the red smoke went over to Buttercup and inside of her. "But remember when using alchemy you cant be surprised WHEN YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT!" He vanished along with the smoke.

Butch looked at Buttercup and waited. After about a minute she started to get up. "BUTTERCUP!" Butch ran to her and hugged her tightly. He noticed that she didn't respond to his hug so he looked at her. "Buttercup?"

Her eyes were filled with nothingness. No emotion was showing in her. She just stood there looking at Butch with a blank expression.

"Buttercup what's wrong?" After he asked that he figured out what Him had did. He wiped her mind so she didn't remember anything, not even him. "Buttercup…" He hugged her again. "I'm so sorry!!!"

They stayed like that for some time.
