She couldn't remember the last time she'd had this much trouble
sleeping, but
Bubbles knew right now it didn't matter. Every time she closed her eyes, she could see
his burned face and those horrifying knives on his hand.
However, by the third night, she could no longer stay awake and finally fell into a
deep, dream filled, sleep. This was a huge relief for Professor Utonium, who had been
worried about her since their trip to Springwood. Finally, however, she was getting some
much needed rest.
Bubbles herself was feeling a great deal of relief as well. She knew she was
dreaming and was thrilled to not find that terrifying man anywhere. In fact, all she could
see was the cool looking waters in Bonsai Gardens Park.
She was just about to go for a swim when she heard a familiar voice calling for
help. The Mayor was in some kind of trouble.
When she got to his office, she screamed in terror. Standing beside the Mayor
was the man with the knives. But her expression was nothing like the one on the Mayor's
face. The man's glove was right next to his face, almost taunting him.
"Get away from the Mayor, you big jerk!" Bubbles yelled, not very convincingly.
The man looked at her for a moment before laughing at her, cruelly. Then he
turned back to the Mayor.
"You know," he began, as he moved his knife hand down a little, "They say
politicians are heartless. We can't have you being an exception."
With that, he rammed his right hand into the Mayor's chest and ripped his heart
out. It continued to beat for a moment before going still. The Mayor, meanwhile,
dropped to the floor, the expression of fear and pain frozen on his face. Bubbles' legs
gave out causing her to fall to the floor. She and her sisters had seen violence before, but
nothing like this. She let out a scream as the man merely laughed.
"Bubbles, wake up!"
Bubbles opened her eyes to see Blossom, Buttercup, and Professor Utonium
looking down at her. It took a moment for her to realize she was back in her own room.
She took another moment to finally catch her breath.
"That must have been some dream." Buttercup commented. "You even had me a
little freaked out."
Bubbles, suddenly fell, sobbing into the Professor's arms.
"It was terrible professor." She said, between sobs.
"I know, honey. Dreams can be pretty scary. But it's over now."
He carried her downstairs and gave her a glass of water. After she finally calmed
down, he took her to the living room to let her sit with him for a bit while he watched the
news. It was then that he noticed the upset expression on the newscasters face.
"To repeat the story just coming in, the Mayor has been found dead in his home,
the results of a massive heart attack."
Bubbles didn't hear any more as she began hyperventilating.
"It's just like my dream! I could have saved him! It's my fault!"
The professor tried to calm her but she flew out of the house sobbing. He
watched, sadly, knowing how this would effect the other girls when he told them.
