Chapter 2
Awake

The Utonium family rushed to the hospital. Buttercup layed there unmoving she was bruised badly. Bubbles wept quitely and Blossom just stood horrorfied.

" Can she hear us?" asked Blossom

" I'm not sure," replied the nurse, " There's no way of telling."

" I'll leave you girls alone, I'm going to go speak with the doctor," the Professor said leaving the room.

" Buttercup?" Bubbles squeaked.

No Reply.

" Why? Did you....." Blossom trailed off.

Silence.

" Girls?" came Professor's voice, " The doctors said that it's most likely Buttercup will not wake tonight, I think it's best we go home and get some rest."

" Blossom?" came Bubbles' voice from the dark, it was already 3am and Blossom hadn't got a wink of sleep.

" Bubbles? Aren't you asleep?" Blossom said tired.

" No, I was wondering..... can I sleep in your room?"

" Sure."

Bubbles squeezed into the pink bed, " Do you think Buttercup did it on purpose?" asked Bubbles.

" I don't know, I hope not."

*****

There was silence at the dinner table during breakfast. " Girls, I have to ask you a very important question." The Professor suddenly said.

" What?" asked Blossom and Bubbbles.

" Well, I spoke to the doctors and they said that witnesses saw Buttercup fly to where the monster collapsed."

" You mean, the monster fell on her?" asked Bubbles

" Yes. Now, do you think it was an act of suicide?"

" Well Professor, me and Bubbles found this poem that we think was written by Buttercup...." Blossom explained.

" Can I see it?" asked the Professor. Bubbles handed him the small piece of paper. Professor read it and sighed, " Why didn't you tell me?"

" We were, but the phone rang." Said Blossom.

" Then...... I guess we were too scared to say something." explained Bubbles.

" Can we go visit Buttercup?" asked Blossom.

" Yes, but there's one more thing. The good news is last night Buttercup woke up," said the Professor.

" That's great! " exclaimed Blossom and Bubbles in perfect unison.

" The bad news however is that she will not communicate. "

" She'll have to talk to us! We're her sisters! " Bubbles said her eyes full of tears.
