Disclaimer: I don't own Powerpuff Girls, wish I did, but you can't have everything ; )

Thank you to all who have reviewed, I just wanted to get the basics of the story, that's why it's short, in the future the chapters will be longer.

The Blue Mermaid

Bubbles looked out her window as the sun slowly went down, she could just barely make out the lake, which was calm and peaceful. She titled her head to the side and thought back to when she was in the water. She smiled as she remembered the feeling. Blossom stopped studying her conversational Chinese to look over at her sister who was still staring out the window.

"Uh Bubbles? Why are you staring out the window? Why don't I teach you some Chinese, I bet you'll find it useful. Just think, another language you can learn" Blossom said excitingly. Bubbles shook her head, and continued to stare.

"Well you should at least do something productive, why do you review some math problems with the professor, I noticed you've been having a bit of trouble with fractions this week" Blossom said picking up her book again, as Buttercup came into the room.

"No thanks" Bubbles whispered.

"Really Blossom, I would rather stare out the window, then review fractions." Said Buttercup, walking over to Bubbles.

"Come on Bubbles, stop staring out the window, why don't you play with your stuffed animals, or color, you like coloring." Buttercup said. Bubbles sighed.

"No" she said. Buttercup and Blossom turned to her.

"No!?!" the both girls exclaimed, confused and alarmed.

"You have got to be kidding me, you rather stare out the window than color. Weren't you the one who started crying her eyes out, just because I smashed your chalk?" Buttercup said angrily.

"I just can't stop thinking about the lake" Bubbles said in a dazed voice. The two other Powerpuff girls looked at each other, then back at Bubbles.

"Bubbles, you've been to that lake lot's of times before, why is this time different?" Blossom said confused. Bubbles shrugged, and continued to stare out the window.

"Look if you stop staring out the window, we'll got to the lake tomorrow, okay." Buttercup said. After a moment, Bubbles turned around, and started coloring. Buttercup smiled with satisfaction, and went downstairs to play video games. Blossom watched her leave and glanced at Bubbles who was drawing pictures of fish. Puzzled by Bubbles sudden interest in the lake, Blossom stopped studying and went to bed.

* * *

"Yes Bubbles stare at the lake, draw pictures of fishes and dream about an underwater world. Eat, drink and taste that feeling you had in the water this afternoon, don't think about anything else." Said an echoing high- pitched voice, watching the scene from his television at home. Him's menacing eyes lingered on Blossom.

"You always have to be annoyingly observant don't you." Him growled, then smiled wickedly.

"No matter, though, even you won't be able to stop me this time."

* * * "Now who knows the correct answer? Bubbles?" Miss Keane asked her class. Bubbles, had had a dazed look on her face all through class, she wasn't paying attention at all.

"Bubbles?" Miss Keane asked again. Bubbles blinked a couple times.

"What?" said Bubbles. Blossom glanced at her slightly. "Do you know the answer?" repeated Miss Keane.

"Of course I know the answer, it's uh very simple, because um I studied very hard last night, and that's why the answer is....er what was the question?" Bubbles rambled. Miss Keane looked at her sternly.

"Bubbles, pay attention. Anyone else?" Miss Keane asked. Blossom shifted in her seat.

"Bubbles what is up with you lately?" Blossom whispered. Bubbles had her dazed expression on her face again. Blossom sighed, there was no point in bothering. After school ended, as the girls promised Bubbles, they went to the lake. Bubbles jumped in immediately jumped in.

"Be careful Bubbles, you don't have your floaties on, and you can't swim that well without...them...on..." Blossom trailed off as she saw Bubbles playing in the water with no trouble. Buttercup sat grumpily on the grass, shooing away the mosquitoes.

"Great we're all here, can we leave now?" Buttercup complained. Bubbles poked her head above the water looking as if Mojo Jojo had just crushed all the daises in the world.

"Are you nuts!?! We just got here, and I never want to leave, never ever." Bubble giggled, and dove underwater again. Blossom floated above the lake and pulled Bubbles out of the water the same way she did yesterday.

"Bubbles, I'm worried about you. You haven't been yourself lately, all you seem to think about is the water. Maybe it would be a good idea if you stayed away from it." Blossom reasoned, as Bubbles struggles against her grasp.

"No! You don't understand! I want to live here. I can't explain it, but there is nothing you can do to change my mind, and I'm no leaving here" Bubbles said plunging into the water. Blossom and Buttercup looked at each other for a moment.

"Grab her." Said Blossom. The two Powerpuff girls each took hold of Bubbles' hands and flew her home.

"Maybe the Professor can figure out what's wrong with her." Blossom said as Bubbles struggled.

"He had better." Grumbled Buttercup
That's it for now!
