The Blue Mermaid chapter 7

Bubbles flew through the chilly air until she landed next to the lake. At duck the lake seemed to mirror the sky making it more beautiful than ever. She knew the Professor would worry about her, so she would return before night fell, but she wanted to stay at the lake for at least an hour, a place where she wouldn't be made fun of, where she didn't have to hear fighting, where she didn't have to worry about being caught, unfortunately this was the only place she could think of.

"Hi there little fishes, is it fun living there?" Bubbles sadly asked the fish that were near her.

"Oh, I think they enjoy it more than you do Bubbles." Said a high-pitched echoing voice. Bubbles quickly turned around.

"HIM!" she gasped. HIM bowed deeply.

"Glad to be known" he said.

"You go back where you came from, I don't want to talk to you." Bubbles said glaring.

"Oh are you having a bad day? Too bad, well I guess you don't want to turn back into a Powerpuff girl." Said HIM tauntingly. Bubbles whirled around.

"You did this!" Bubbles screamed.

"Little Bubbles, when will you learn? Every time I'm involved, I only provide things to happen, you are the one that really makes it happen. Remember? You didn't have to listen to Octi, but you did, therefore making your sisters fight even more, I provided the chalk when you were the one that drew the monsters, and now all I did was make sure that the molecules in the lake matches the chemical X and sugar in your body to create a little mermaid. It was your love for marine animals that made this possible." Said HIM proudly.

"I don't suppose if I ask really nicely you'll change me back, right?" asked Bubbles. HIM laughed.

"What do you think I am, part of the Amoeba boys? No, no sweet little Bubbles I actually have no intention of changing you back." Said HIM

" WHAT!" screeched Bubbles, in two seconds she through several punches at the red and pink demon. Who dodged and quickly removed her neck brace and breaking it with his claws.

"Have fun living in the lake" he said and disappeared with a puff of smoke. Bubbles quickly dived into the lake with a terrified expression.

"I can't believe I have to stay here forever." She said feeling too defeated the water level was going down.

The two other Powerpuffs kept searching for their lost sister, but to no avail.

"Maybe we should split up, we'll cover more ground that way." Suggested Blossom.

"Well I'm going to follow my first instinct, which is go to the lake, I have a feeling she's there." Argued Buttercup, flying faster.

"And what makes you so sure she's there? She wasn't there last time!" said Blossom.

"Well I didn't have a feeling that she was there last time! Besides this is her fault, she should have known not to go off on her own again," said Buttercup.

"Buttercup, you've been meaner to her than usual lately, why? I mean she's going through a tough time." Said Blossom

"Yes and have you noticed how's she's getting all the attention? I mean I don't want to be a mermaid or anything, but I did beat up that guy who tried to kidnap her, I mean what do I have to do to get noticed around here!" yelled Buttercup in frustration.

"I'm sorry Buttercup, why didn't you say anything?" Blossom asked.

"Because, 'Bubbles is going through a tough time.'" Repeated Buttercup.

"So you think you'll get attention by being mean to Bubbles?" inquired Blossom.

"No, look I know I've been acting stupid about this, but I don't mean too, it just happens." Said Buttercup

"Well, maybe when we get home we can all play video games, would that make you feel better?" asked Blossom

"Yeah, but only cause I'll kick both you butts!" challenged Buttercup

"Your on, now let's follow you intuition and go to the lake." Said Blossom.

The lake's water was now only a foot and a half deep. Bubbles having great difficulty breathing had to lie straight across just to let water pass through her gills.

"Bubbles?" yelled Buttercup

"Where are you Bubbles?" yelled Blossom.

Bubble stuck her head out of the water.

"Blossom? Buttercup? I'm at the lake hurry!" Bubbles screamed, and put her head back under the water. "Did you just hear Bubbles?" Buttercup asked. Blossom nodded.

"You were right, she screamed about the lake, come on, let's go" Blossom said, and the two rushed forward. The water in the lake had been completely drained, all the fishes, along with Bubbles seemed to be gasping and jerking wildly.

"Buttercup! Blossom! Hurry!" screamed Bubbles her vision kept focusing in and out. She stared up at the sky trying to keep her mind on something else besides the pain she started feeling in her chest. The sun was setting showing beautiful colors across the sky, only a few clouds could be seen, but none of them were rain clouds.

"Blossom. Buttercup" she whispered, before passing out.

"There's the lake. I think." Said Buttercup looking at the drained lake. Blossom picked up Bubbles and noticed the broken neck brace on the ground.

"You don't think she tried to kill herself do you?" asked Blossom.

"No, she wouldn't break the neck brace, but how did the lake just drain itself? It was filled this morning." Said Buttercup

"I don't think Bubbles can make it back to the house, and she wouldn't want these fish to die." Said Blossom. She used her ice breath and then her laser eyes to make the lake fill with water. She and Buttercup quickly splashed water onto their unconscious sisters face until she stirred. Her half-closed eyes stared at their faces.

"You came in time." Bubbles said softly.

"We heard you" said Buttercup. Bubbles smiled and hugged both her sisters.

"How did your neck brace break?" Blossom asked. Bubbles gave her sister a confused look.

"Hang on, I'm trying to remember, it was um, red, yes red, and pink, reminded me of a lobster." Bubbles muttered

"HIM!" both girls yelled

"Yes! HIM, he's behind this he turned me into a mermaid and....he has no intention of turning me back." Bubbles looked down.

"We'll deal with HIM later, right now we have to get you home. If we fly fast enough we can get you there before you pass out again." Buttercup said. Bubbles nodded and joining hands they flew home.

"Quick, I need to get into water." Bubbles gasped out, as her two sisters placed her in the tank.

"How are we going to explain all of this to the professor?" asked Buttercup.

"We have to tell him the truth. There's no other way around it." Blossom said.

"That's good to know." Said the Professor standing in the doorway. All the girls gulped and hanged their heads.

"I want to hear all about it" said the Professor, and the three girls started to explain the days events.

Meanwhile Him was watching them on his television set boiling mad.

"You won't get away that easy you three, I'll think of something, just give me some time, and I'll think of something."

Well, what do you guys think HIM is going to do? Read and Review, I may have a day or two off before finals roll around at the end of May, so I'll try and update then. Till then, later!
