Buttercup came home the next day around noon. Blossom and Bubbles helped her up to her room. " See Buttercup, your room! Sure is a lot better than the hospital, huh?" Bubbles said sitting Buttercup down. Buttercup still didn't make eye contact, but she shifted her eyes about looking around the room, but never laid eyes on the Professor, nor her sisters.
" I'm going downstairs to make B-cup a sandwich," Bubbles said turning to leave the room. She couldn't stand watching her sister, whom she use to know as the energetic girl who could almost never sit still. Blossom got up from the bean bag chair she was sitting on and stood directly in front of her face so she was forced to look at her.
" I know you can talk, so just say something." No reaction. " Promise me you'll look at me an' Bubbles, an' the Professor when ever you can, okay?" Nothing. " Please, you'll make Bubbles cry again, and I know you don't want that......So I'm gonna walk away and your gonna keep your eyes on me, and when Bubbles get's here, you'll look at her. " Blossom walked away from Buttercup and as she was told she never took her eyes off Blossom.
" I'm back! " said Bubbles, she flew in with a PB&J sandwich and handed it to Buttercup, who took it and put it aside. " Hey she's looking at me! " Bubbles said cheerfully. " I wonder if she'll talk? Hi.... Butt...er....cup, How..... are .....you?" she spoke as if Buttercup was an alien from outer space. Buttercup didn't answer, she didn't even change expression.
" Hello girls, how's everything going?" asked Professer. He turned to Buttercup and patted her on the head, " Hi sweetie, everything alright?" again Buttercup didn't speak, just stared. " Well, I'm glad you're home. " but still Buttercup only stared.
" Blossom, Bubbles, let's leave Buttercup alone for a while."
" But...." Blossom and Bubbles objected.
" Downstairs," the Professor commanded. Blossom, Bubbles, and the Professor left the room. Buttercup looked at the PB&J sandwich. She would eat it, but she wasn't hungry, she didn't feel like talking, and her muscles didn't feel like forming a smile. What was there to smile about? What was there to do? Normally she would listen to music or talk to her sisters, but she didn't feel like either. She decided to go to bed, what else was there to do?
