45 minutes later...

Buttercup had her bandaged now taken off as she no longer felt her eye hurt. Although her gums unexpectedly started hurting. From the fight she guessed. She felt like if she was in the middle of a desert. While her stomach felt like if it was on fire. She could feel her old and new bruses sting, but she didn't know if it was all because she was sick, or because she was about to be punished again.

"Unbelievable!" The Professor said, "That was hands down, the worst party I have ever seen! Do you girls realize all the paperwork it'll take for me to fix all this disaster?"

Bubbles glared at Buttercup. "She's the one who called my fighting moves terrible."

"You don't teach things you don't know, Bubbles!"

"Enough!" The Professor silenced them, "I expect so much from you girls, especially you, Bubbles."

Even Blossom started getting tired from all the shouting. "Professor, calm down. Please try to keep your cool." She then turned to her sisters. "But look guys, we were supposed to show the whole world our honor of being Townsville's heroes. It was just supposed to be a nice place to relax, not a wrestling ring."

"I was trying to stay calm, Blossom." Bubbles then glared angrily at Buttercup. "But she decided to start all of this mess!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

That was it.

The Professor was putting the foot down.

"Okay. Since you two won't stop being so stubborn, we're gonna take some Drastic Actions."

The room felt silent with horror.

"Bubbles. Until you mature, i'm gonna have to take away your toys." He hated punishing, but with Bubbles... it felt exactly like kicking a puppy.

"D-Does this mean Octi too?"

"I'm afraid so."

The youngest Powerpuff got to the floor slowly, then collapsed on it.

Seeing Bubbles upset was torture for Blossom. "Professor, are you sure this isn't too far?"

"It's tough love, Blossom." The Proffesor explained. "It has to be done."

"P-Proffesor please, anything but that." Bubbles managed to say.

It took Buttercup a few seconds of thinking before she spoke. "So, with Bubbles punished," her voice broke out excitedly, "does this mean I can finally fight crime again!?" Buttercup already began to celebrate.

"Who said she'll stop fighting crime?"

Buttercup stopped. "Well, all my money is spend, i'm not fighting crime, what other thing is there for me?" She couldn't imagen anything worst than those.

"First of all, your time for not fighting crime has expanded. Second, you'll now raise money to fix the charges you caused at the Ball Room. Every. Charge."

Buttercup. Was. Horrified. "What!? No no no no no no! Please Professor! Anything but that!"

"The decision is final. Now go to your room!"

If only she obeyed.

If only she said yes.

If only she agreed.

Then, maybe, probably, she wouldn't be on the mess she herself made.

"NO! I'm not going!"

"Excuse me you don't talk to me like that!"

"I'm so sick of being pushed, by all of you! I had to waste my time taking Bubbles to the store. Following every single order from Blossom." She then looked at the Professor. "And you yourself are no better, how can you always agree with them?"

"If you think your life is hard, you don't have to pay the bills, clean the house, and deal with your behavior."

"My behavior? No wonder, I have to deal with all of you!"

"Enough!" Blossom shouted. "Buttercup, this has gone far enough, now stop it!"

"About that, Blossom, there won't be a next time, because I had it with this place!!!"

She started heading towards the front door.

She was out of here.

"Look, let's just talk about this straight." The Professor rushed towards her by the entrance of the room, but Buttercup pushed him back. "Get out of my way!"

In the stairs, Bubbles stood in front of Buttercup. "Buttercup stop! You don't know what you're doing!" Bubbles said.

"I know exactly what I'm doing! I'm leaving this city!" Buttercup pushed her against the wall.

She was about to reach the entrance door before Blossom tackled her, stopping her. "Your part of the Powerpuff Girls!" Blossom informed her .

"Not anymore!" With that, Buttercup used all of her strength to push Blossom away and send her crashing against the wall. Buttercup moved towards her until they were both face to face.

"Are you gonna kill me?" Her trapped sister said in a clear but low voice.

Buttercup released her. "No." For a moment, her voice turned back to normal. "I'm not that kind of person."

She contined making her way outside.

Once the door was in front of her, she grabbed the knob of the front door and twisted it, opening it, and out she went.
