Chapter twenty-six

Buttercup and Blossom flew around the entire town in search for Bubbles, but they couldn't find her. They went back home after 6 hours of penetrating. Blossom sat on the bed, "What are we going to tell the professor?" She frowned, Buttercup looked at her, "Yeah, he's going to freak! AGAIN!" She added. Buttercup and Blossom frowned at each other, and then they heard the door open. Then right after the door opened, they heard this, "BUTTERCUP AND BLOSSOM GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" Buttercup and Blossom looked at each other as they both slowly went downstairs waiting for the professor to blame them. When they arrived downstairs, the professor looked worried instead of mad, "Girls, I think I found Bubbles." He said uneasily as he looked down. By that expression, Buttercup and Blossom sort of got the idea. "Where was she…?" Blossom asked nervously. "Come with me I'll show you." The professor meant for them to go with him, and they followed. The professor drove them to a place near the edge of the town; He pulled over near a lake. He got off as the girls followed. He went on the bridge over the lake, he looked back mention Blossom and Buttercup to go there also. And they followed. He pointed down to top of the lake, as the girls looked down. "OH…" Was all they said. Blossom and Buttercup looked at each other, as tears fell down their face. "She was such a good sister, although she was kind of mean this summer, but think of all the times she was always there for us." Blossom sobbed. Buttercup stared at where the professor pointed, "No, that's not Bubbles. I know it!" She argued as she flew down the bridge. Blossom looked worrily down at Buttercup as she heard Buttercup laugh. "What's so funny Buttercup?" Blossom yelled from up the bridge. Buttercup flied up the bridge, "That's not Bubbles. It's just a piece of blue cloth with a bit of yellow at the top." Buttercup snorted. Blossom looked at the professor, "Oh" Was all he said while his face turned red. Blossom started laughing as well. The three of them got in their car and drove home.

The professor sat on the couch, and he buried his head in his hands, thinking. "You know girls, I have a feeling we will never find Bubbles," He said, "So we might as well give up and continue our life without her." Buttercup looked at Blossom, "I guess…" Blossom just nodded.

And they all went on without Bubbles. Buttercup and Blossom talked to Tino at school. "Did she do all this because of me?" Tino asked. Buttercup and Blossom both nodded. Tino gasped, "Did she really like me THAT much?" Again they nodded. Tino looked down, "But I just didn't like her that way. She was always so childish, and immature. But she still wants to grow up so fast, I mean we're only in grade 8 and she wants to go out! And you wouldn't believe how much she calls me. It's like she think we're married! I was just trying to avoid all that…" Before he could finish, Buttercup slapped him across the face. "How could you! She ran away because of YOU, and here you are, complaining! How selfish can you get!" Buttercup yelled. Blossom took Buttercup's hand, "Come on, let's go. Bubbles' already gone, there's no point arguing anymore." As they both walked away, leaving Tino standing there.
