Chapter 4

"I only want one thing and that is to help you in your battles", Mike replied. The Girls and the Prof huddle together.

Blossom: "How can we be sure we can trust him? If he is a spy from Him, we'd better not reveal too much sensitive information to him"

Bubbles: "But he doesn't seem like a spy"

Blossom: "Think about it, he's been watching our every move, knows everything about us, who knows what more he knows that could endanger our existence?"

Professor: "Bubbles, I think Blossom has a point. He knows too much about us to be trusted that easily. I think you should put him to some sort of test."

Blossom: "But what could we let him do that wouldn't harm us?"

Professor: "Well, he says he can revive Buttercup, I think it would be ok if we let him try it, he can't kill her, since she's already dead."

Bubbles looked at the Professor with tears in her eyes. "Don't worry, sweetie, if anything goes wrong, I won't let him come near you", the Professor said.

After a few minutes, they break up the huddle and Blossom addresses Mike: "Ok, we've decided you can try your thing with Buttercup. But if anything goes wrong, you won't be coming back here!"

Mike looks at Blossom and says: "Don't worry", if this fails, you'll never see me again"

Mike pulls out a syringe, filled with a black substance and pokes the needle into Buttercup's arm. He injects the fluid and pulls the syringe out again. Soon after, Buttercup's heart starts beating again and the girl slowly opens her eyes. "Ungh… what happened?", Buttercup asks.

Bubbles jumps up with joy and gives her sister a big hug. "Buttercup, you're alive again!"

Soon after, the rest of the family joins the group hug. Not exactly sure why she gets so much attention all of a sudden, she savors the moment, not knowing if she'll ever get one again.

Once everyone lets go of her, she asks: "What happened? Last thing I remember is being very cold, and then all went dark."

The professor explains the whole story: the dragon freezing her, her dying, the strange man in their home, everything.

After all this information has sunk in, Buttercup just sits on the couch like she's stoned. Eventually, she starts to mumble: "I was dead… I died… I got killed, I, the strongest Puff, got killed by a stupid ice-breathing dragon! Him is soo gonna pay for doing this to me!" and with that, she flies out of the door.

Blossom: "You'd better go after her, Bubbles, I don't think she knows what she's doing!" Bubbles nods and flies after Buttercup.

Mike: "So much for gratitude, you bring her back to life, but s simple 'thank you' is apparently too much for her!"

Blossom walks up to Mike. "Don't worry; she has trouble expressing her true feelings. Deep down inside, I'm sure she's grateful for what you've done." This brightens Mike's mood a bit. Blossom looks out of the window: "We'd better go after them; they can't handle Him by themselves." And with that, they fly off after the two Puff sisters.
