Chapter 3
April 6th 2030

Back at the hospital Buttercups condition went from bad to worse. Without warning she had begun to bleed from her nose. The Professor was doing all that he could do but even with his advanced knowledge of everything that is scientific.
"Is she going to be okay Professor?" Blossom asked.
"I don't know," the Professor said, "I just don't know."
Right at that moment Bubbles flew through the ceiling leaving another hole.
"Where's the Chemical X?" The Professor said with slight urgency in his voice.
"It's right here." Bubbles said in a low voice while holding up the sponge containing the Chemical X.
"Oh god, Blossom hurry up and see if you can a beaker. The ones that we do have are too small." The Professor told Blossom.
All in a second Blossom left the others and returned with a large beaker. When the Professor got the beaker he instantly started to squeeze the Chemical X into the beaker.
"Do you think that the Chemical X will really help Buttercup?" Bubbles asked.
"It's all that we have to work with so if the Chemical X doesn't get her well again it won't hurt to try don't you think?" The Professor snapped back.
And with that he put the funnel of the beaker up to Buttercups mouth. As soon as the Chemical X went down through her throat she coughed and stared up at the patched ceiling.
"Buttercup you're okay!" Bubbles exclaimed out of pure happiness.
"What... what happened?" Buttercup asked trying to get over her daze,
"Don't remember anything" The Professor asked.
"I remember carrying the body of the robot up into the sky. But after that nothing." Buttercup replied.
For the next hour or so Blossom, Bubbles and the Professor explained everything that happened.
"But if there was a giant shockwave then why weren't you two hit by it?" Buttercup asked when they were all done telling the story.
"Well I did get hit but not by the shockwave," Blossom began, "but when the shockwave hit the ground it sent up lots of rubble and I got hit by the rubble. But the rubble wasn't enough to really done a lot of damage."
"And since the shockwave was at a slant all the damage was pushed away from me." Bubbles said.
"And what about Mojo being the only one to age?" Buttercup asked.
"Well that part isn't really clear to anyone really." Blossom explained.
With that said there was a long pause. No one could think of anything that was worth saying. Pretty soon they were all sleeping and the horrible day was done.

The city of Townsville was now in ruins. The only souls brave enough to go outside were the ones that were carrying M-16's with them. Women would stick their heads in the windows only to pull them back in. Criminals ran all over the place. And the place that could honestly be called peaceful was now in shambles. Back at the hospital the Power Puff Girls were talking to each other.
"Remember how easy it was back when we were growing up." Blossom said.
"Yeah we could always beat the bad guy however hard they were." Buttercup said.
"Yeah." Bubbles said in a dreamy voice.
"I remember all those times when we thought about what we would look like now." Blossom said.
Yeah I bet Blossom will keep that dorky red hair when we grow up. The voice of Buttercup popped into Bubbles' head without Bubbles even thinking about it.
"What did you say Buttercup?" Bubbles asked.
"I didn't say anything." Buttercup exclaimed.
"Yes you did I heard you." Bubbles said back.
"I didn't hear anything." Blossom cut in.
"Weird." Bubbles said to her self.
