Chapter 1
The Poem

Buttercup was always messy, and Bubbles would clean her sister's room, because she couldn't stand it looking like a pig's pen. One day while cleaning Bubbles found a small piece of paper and was very curious so she read it:

'Why?
Why does everyone hate me so?
Blossom's smart; Bubbles sweet
And lately I've felt like it's my time to go
Should I just allow defeat
Hurl myself into death's way?
End my life forever
Why not, I have the chance every day
My death would not have to be clever
I'll just let a monster swallow me
No, it would never work
My sisters would fly after me; why can't they leave me be?'


Bubbles gasped, her sister had these thoughts? Should she tell? Buttercup..... suicidal? She had to tell. " BLOSSOM!!!" she screamed so loud the whole neighborhood could hear. Blossom flew in to find a shaking Bubbles clutching the small paper.

" Bubbles what is it? " Blossom said worried.

" Read this," she managed to sqeak, handing Blossom the poem. Blossom read the poem quickly. " Buttercup wrote it, " explained Bubbles.

" Yes I know, but-- " she trailed off, " We have to tell the professor."

" He'll be mad."

" Maybe so, but he needs to know," Blossom

The girls flew downstairs to find the Professor reading the newspaper, he looks up and notices the girls' sad faces. " Girls, what's wrong?"

" Well, Professor we found this--" Blossom is interrupted by the telephone.

" Hello...... Oh no..... Yes, yes of course........ right away...... good-bye and thank you," said the Professor into the phone.

" What is it Professor?" asked Bubbles.

" There was a monster attack in Townsville, but Buttercup has taken care of it, but was badly hurt; she's in the hospital now."

" I- Is it critical?" said Blossom in a hushed voice.

" I'm afraid so, she's in a comma."
