Bubbles decided next to try getting information from the Mayor and Ms. Bellum.

She hoped that, perhaps, they, or at least Ms. Bellum, could help her piece the whole

thing together.

She flew into the Mayor's office and landed on his desk in front of him.

"Mayor, can you tell me anything about why everyone's acting so weird lately?"

she asked, hopefully.

Before he could say a word, Ms. Bellum burst out, "Why does everyone always

go to the Mayor first. Why can't anyone ask me for help. I could run the city just as

well. Even better. It's not fair."

The Mayor looked at her for a moment before bursting into tears.

"I try to be a good mayor." He sobbed. "No matter how hard I try, I can't please

everyone."

"Oh sure." Ms. Bellum muttered, full of jealously. "Cry so you get all the

sympathy."

Bubbles could see that this wasn't going to help. She would have to look

elsewhere. She flew out of the office, hoping to find someone who hadn't yet been

effected.

Ms. Bellum watched her go and thought to herself, why can't I save the day once

in a while?

Bubbles searched everywhere, but no one seemed normal. Even the villains

seemed to be effected by whatever was causing this. Bubbles felt ready to scream as she

slowly landed outside her house. Before she could go inside, however, she heard a noise

behind one of the trees.

A little nervous, she slipped over to the tree and looked behind it. A small

squirrel was throwing an angry fit, jumping around and heaving acorns. Bubbles was

filled with even more despair. Even the animals were behaving oddly. She felt tears

swelling again as she wondered how she could save everyone by herself. She didn't

know what to do. She leaned against the tree and began to cry again.

After a few minutes she stopped, a new thought occurring to her. Townsville was

depending on her and she couldn't help them by crying about it. She jumped up and flew

into the house.

She flew up to her room and looked at the newspapers again, more closely,

hoping to find even the tiniest clue. As she read, Buttercup peeked in.

"Is it just you, Bubbles?" she asked, still frightened.

Bubbles nodded and smiled as her sister hovered in and sat down beside her.

"Do you know anything about this whole mix up?" Bubbles asked.

"Well," began Buttercup. "Blossom and I had figured out who took the things

from the science labs and we were gonna go fight them."

"Yes." Prompted Bubbles, feeling she was finding her answer.

"But I don't remember who. It's so scary, I've blocked it out of my mind. But I

do remember a cape."

Bubbles thought for a minute about this when it hit her.

"Mojo Jojo!" She screamed before flying out the window.

Buttercup watched her go.

"She's gonna save the day." She said to herself. "I wouldn't."

As Bubbles flew towards Mojo's lair, she realized something else. She was by

herself. Her sisters couldn't help her in this case. She was scared, but still she pushed

forward, knowing this had to be done.

Meanwhile, Mojo sat in his lair, happily.

"Yes, I have defeated the Powerpuff Girls and the weakest one, Bubbles thinks

I'm effected too. I have tricked her and she doesn't know it. Now she can't stop me. In

fact, no one can stop me."

His ramblings were interrupted by a sound he knew well. She was coming. He

knew she wouldn't fall for it again so he quickly set up his machine to be ready.

Bubbles burst into the lair as Mojo fired. A stream of light covered Bubbles as

she screamed in terror.
