NOTE: Okay, we're back in the PRESENT.

Chapter 7:

"Wait!" Bubbles said, "I don't want to hear this next part!"

"Okay, Bubbles," Blossom said, "Why don't you tell us what happened while our future selves were talking to the Professor." Bubbles nodded her head happily and continued.

*****************

"It was almost exactly a year in your future," the future Buttercup started, "And we had just come back from defeating Mojo Jojo's evil robot. Of course, I thought that I was the one who had served up the final blow, but Blossom argued and said it was all because of her we weren't killed. We weren't really paying attention to Bubbles because we were arguing, but I think I remember her saying something about 'if you two don't quit right now I'm running away.' We didn't take her seriously until the next day, when she was gone."

"We searched for her everywhere, but by then Mojo Jojo had kidnapped her and brainwashed her into thinking we were her enemies. She destroyed all of Townsville. The only reason she hasn't moved on to other places is because she wants to finish us off first. I think our younger selves are in grave danger in the future. We need to save them!" That's when the three of them heard soft sobbing on the stairs. They looked up and saw Bubbles' teary face staring back at them. Blossom and Buttercup gasped and stepped away.

"Please, don't be scared," Bubbles said between sobs, "I would NEVER hurt you." She walked down the stairs and hugged the professor tightly. She looked up at the Professor. "Isn't there some way we can help them?"

The older Powerpuffs felt very ashamed for having to tell their awful story in front of such an innocent young version of their worst enemy. They also stared at the professor as if agreeing with Bubbles.

"Well, I could always dig up that time machine I used with you girls before," he said, "but there might not be a way to come back to the present."

"I don't care," Bubbles said, "We have to help Blossom and Buttercup." The professor nodded and faint smiles appeared on the older girls' faces. They walked to the lab and searched for the time machine that would probably be the only hope for Blossom and Buttercup's survivol.

"I found it!" The professor exclaimed after fifteen minutes of searching. The time portal was opened, and the four went through one at a time, praying for the safety of the younger Blossom and Buttercup.
