Disclaimer: I don't own Powerpuff Girls, but I do own this story, I get no money off of it, if I did, I would be working at the studio of Cartoon Network, and not paying big bucks to got to an art school as an animator, because I would already be one.

Well, at least I passed that test, though I knew all the material, and should have gotten an A, but anyway I'm not going to rant, but I'm am going to give you guys another chapter, though it seems like only two consistent people are reviewing, so Hairy Gregory, and Tortured Artist.thank you very, very much, if it weren't for you two, I might not keep posting new chapters, so here it is chapter 6, my longest chapter ever!

The Blue Mermaid 6

"I kill them all! One way or another." Yelled HIM in annoyance. He grumbled under his breath, and sat down in his pink sofa in a huge huff. His eyes lingered on Bubbles as she splashed around in her tank. HIM's blood boiled as he through popcorn at it. Then slowly smiled.

"Oh I know just what to do!" HIM laughed wickedly.

Bubbles popped her head out of the tank.

"Did you hear something just now?" She asked her sisters who were near her on the floor reading comics. They both looked up, and shook there heads turning back to the comics. A loud knocking came from the door. All three looked toward it. Blossom peered out of the keyhole and gasped. She rushed back.

"We need to hide Bubbles, fast!" she cried.

"What why?" asked Buttercup and Bubbles looking very confused.

"Remember all those people that were around Bubbles when she fainted?" asked Blossom. Bubbles looked at Blossom and Buttercup.

"There were people around me? People from Townsville know I'm a mermaid?" asked Bubbles frightened. More knocking came from the door.

"Apparently so, come on." said Buttercup putting the neck brace on Bubbles and leading her into their bedroom. Buttercup went to the sink and got concealer and foundation and put it on Bubbles' face.

"What are you doing!?!" Shrieked Bubbles.

"Calm down do you want them to take you away, your going to pretend to be sick, but you to look halfway normal." Said Buttercup applying more on her face.

"I don't know if that'll work, Buttercup." said Blossom

"Hey I'm helping ok, get some blankets and gloves, and um a scarf to hide the neck brace, hurry." Ordered Buttercup. Blossom sighed and did what she was told.

"Okay you don't look like Mystique anymore" Said Buttercup, satisfied with her work. Blossom came in and covered her up.

"Just stay under those until they leave ok. Said Blossom.

"Wait what about my hair!" cried Bubbles. Blossom and Buttercup looked at each other.

"Um I'll get a snow cap" said Buttercup.

"Are you insane? She supposed to be sick not getting reading for snowboarding! I'll get a towel" said Blossom in her superior mode. She was tired of Buttercup giving orders.

"A towel? What she just got out off the shower, yeah that's convincing." Said Buttercup.

"Her hair is wet anyway!" yelled Blossom

"She'll look really stupid with a towel around her hair!" shot back Buttercup

"Oh and a snowcap isn't stupid at all?" asked Blossom. Bubbles covered her ears.

"STOP IT!" she yelled. Both girls stopped fighting and looked at her.

"I'll wear the towel now someone better open that door before they come barging in here!" Bubbles reasoned. Blossom smirked at Buttercup, then rushed to answer the door.

"Wow, hello people of Townsville." said Blossom greeting the large group.

"Out of my way where's the mermaid?" said a man. Blossom held him back.

"We returned that mermaid back to the ocean where she belongs, sorry, but there's no mermaid here." Said Blossom trying to close the door.

"Your not fooling anyone." The man growled and barged in. Blossom rushed in front of him.

"I'm afraid you all can't come in, Bubbles has a high fever, and a cold so she shouldn't be bothered with this racket." Said Blossom the man looked at her, while the group searched around the house.

"A fever and a cold?" he said, then looked around her at the empty tank.

"Pretty big tank you have there, how come there are no fish in there?" He asked her slowly.

"We haven't bought any fish yet." Blossom said quickly. The man peered at her closely.

"Is that so?" he said. Blossom nodded.

"Now everyone I must ask you all to leave, please" she said quickly pushing them out the door. The man stayed behind.

"Where is Bubbles?" he asked suddenly.

"I'm sorry but you can't see her, she's pretty contagious." Blossom said as went up the stairs.

"I just want to see how she's doing" he said opening the door. Buttercup and Bubbles looked up as the man came in. Buttercup glared at Blossom, Bubbles snuggled deep in the covers.

"I'm sorry sir, but Bubbles is very sick, she has the flu, and shouldn't see anyone." Said Buttercup. Blossom put her face in her hands.

"That's quite a disease you have their Bubbles, the flu, a cold and a high fever." smirked the man as he came closer. Bubbles glanced at her sisters and went under the covers.

"She can't bothered, sir, you really should leave." Said Buttercup.

"I would if you weren't hiding a mermaid under those covers!" said the man pulling the covers off the bed, showing Bubbles' blue scaly skin, and mermaid tail. Bubbles shrieked and tried to fly, but the man caught her around the waist, he pulled a tranquilizer gun to her shoulder.

"Both of you stay back." He warned, as Bubbles whimpered her eyes filling with tears.

"You don't understand, she's our sister! She just magically turned into a mermaid!" exclaimed Blossom. The man looked at her oddly.

"Well she a mermaid now, and now is what matters!" he said taking off her scarf and peering at the neck brace. Bubbles try to free her self from his grasp but he still held her tightly with the tranquilizer gun pointing at her.

"No don't touch that!" yelled Buttercup. The man ignored her, and took off the neck brace. Bubbles eyes filled with terror, and looked at sisters for help. Blossom and Buttercup got ready to charge but the man taunted them with the tranquilizer gun. Bubbles started gasping and jerking wildly.

"I need water!" she cried out. Both girls looked at each other and charged at the man anyway who was caught by surprise, and dropped her and the tranquilizer gun in the process of being knocked over. Blossom quickly put the brace back on, as Buttercup threw a few punches at the man.

"Don't you ever do that to my sister again, got it! She could have almost died, she's not some animal you look at in a zoo, and she's not going to be sold to science or experimented on either, now leave and don't tell anyone or you'll be sent to jail! Now LEAVE" yelled Buttercup, and flew him out the door and slammed it shut. She smiled and flew back upstairs to see if Bubbles was all right Bubbles was on all fours on the floor, gasping deeply.

"Don't worry I took care of that creep for good." said Buttercup proudly and beaming hopping for approval, but again the focus was on Bubbles.

"That's great Buttercup, I think Bubbles is going to be okay." said Blossom. Buttercup sighed, frustrated.

"Yeah that's good to know." She said smiling at Bubbles.

"But did you se how I whopped that guy, pow, bam, one hit after another." Boasted Buttercup, doing effects with her arms. Blossom simply nodded.

"Thanks you guys." Murmured Bubbles looking down sadly.

"What wrong Bubbles?" asked Blossom. Bubbles played with her green hair.

"I'm not going to get better am I? I can't even save myself, how am I suppose to save Townsville!" Bubbles said crying her eyes out. Buttercup's anger started to arise. She slowly counted to ten in her mind.

"Come on Buttercup, you want to show some anger, Bubbles did a great job when I gave her the chalk, until she expressed it in a 'positive way,' but you can't resist can you?" Him said to his TV.

Bubbles stopped crying for a bit.

"Tell me you heard that right." said Bubbles wiping her eyes.

"Heard what?" asked Blossom who looked at Buttercup who shrugged.

"That voice, it sound so familiar, yet I can't remember, but I've heard it before why can't I remember." Said Bubbles thinking. Blossom rushed to her desk and pulled out a print out of her research on mermaids. Skimming through it, her eyes widened.

"Um Bubbles are you in the mood for a bit of bad news?" she asked

"Not really." Said Bubbles in a timed voice. Buttercup glared at both her sisters.

"Just tell us!" she said through clenched teeth.

"Well, um mermaids seem to have good hearing" started Blossom.

"That's your bad news?" exclaimed Buttercup aggravated. Blossom glared at Buttercup, who folded her arm sin a huff.

"I wasn't done! Unfortunately, mermaids aren't exactly too bright, they have short-term memory." Finished Blossom.

"So Bubbles is dumber than she was before?" shouted Buttercup. A tense silence followed. Bubbles eyes started to fill with tears again. Blossom quickly went to Bubbles so she would fly away. Buttercup looked down.

"Ohh nice touch." said HIM gleefully.

"I didn't mean for it to come out like that, but well you know what I mean." Said Buttercup Bubbles started to cry.

"Buttercup, I know Bubbles isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box, but that's no reason to say something like that!" said Blossom.

"She thought you were the real Mojo Jojo, when we were pretending to play Powerpuffs when it was raining!" yelled Blossom.

"So? It's not her fault she has um a healthy imagination." Said Blossom

"Healthy! She can't even figure out a ransom note, and she wanted a cute girl bunny to beat up an imaginary fiend! Oh, and lets not forget she let all the animals in the zoo loose!" yelled Buttercup. Bubbles cried harder.

"Now look what you've done! So she's not the smartest, well neither are you, miss I don't need to take a bath" yelled Blossom.

"Look who talking! Miss I got a ten on my SAT's! Bubbles only got a high score out of dumb luck!" yelled Buttercup. As the fight continued, Bubbles morale and self-confidence shrank. She wiped her face and went to the lake.

"Well that worked almost too perfectly. Time for phase two." Said HIM wickedly.

"You're the one who hit her with darts!" yelled Buttercup.

"GIRLS!" came a harsh voice from downstairs, the Professor had finally come home. Buttercup and Blossom rushed downstairs .

"Yes Professor?" they said glumly.

"I could hear you two a block away, and then I see a very interesting newspaper article about how the Powerpuff girls are keeping a mermaid. Do either one of you want to explain this to me?" asked the Professor sternly. Both girls looked at each other.

"Just a small little mix-up, but we cleared it up." Said Blossom professionally. The Professor raised an eyebrow.

"As long as you fixed it, I don't want anyone coming in here and taking Bubbles away, got it, I'm still trying to help her change back, now let's all eat dinner." Said the Professor going to the kitchen.

"I'll get Bubbles, you'll just make her cry more." Said blossom going upstairs.

"What difference would it make, she's always crying." Mumbled Buttercup. Blossom rushed downstairs.

"We have a problem" whispered Blossom.

"What do you mean?" asked Buttercup.

"Bubbles kind of left again, but I think she's got her neck brace on because she didn't leave it in the room." Blossom said quickly. Buttercup's eyes widened.

"I did it again!" she said.

" We have to find before someone else does.' Said Blossom

"Or before the Professor finds out!" said Buttercup, as they took off again to find their sister.

Well good going you two, HIM's evil plan is about to unfurl, and you two led her away and right into his trap. Stay toon everyone, and PLEASE review! 'Till then. Adios!
