*Bubbles Pov*

Walking into school I noticed the normal cliché cliques in their perspective corners. Blossom turned around facing me and Buttercup. This was the one place we could feel somewhat normal yet we spent it apart. We barely hung out together only eating lunch on occasions.

"Ok, BC here's your note for gym class." She stopped her movement looking up at our sister. "You'll be back by nine right?"

Buttercup took the slip. Shrugging as she thought it over. Buttercup took different jobs for money to help with bills. The Professor makes plenty of money but the funds go towards him and his wife. She's been providing for us since we were thirteen. Paying for our after-school activities and even our clothes and food.

"I'll try. I might have to sneak out again tonight." She pulled out a notepad looking over it. A quick glance and I could tell it was Blossom's and I phone bill. I most likely went over again. Blossom nodded giving a quick 'Okie' as Buttercup handed us lunch money.

And just like that. We were strangers. I turned around looking for the one person that always brighten my day. My shooting star, Chase Matthews.

"Your boy toy is talking to Miss Snob." I hear Buttercup's disdain as she points towards Chase and my friends. He was on the bleachers talking to Princess Moorbucks. A little too closely for my comfort.

"Thanks, Big Sis. See ya guys." I wave a quick goodbye as I skipped over to my boyfriend. I catch Blossom heading inside to the office most likely and Buttercup heading to her table. Picking up the pace I smiled as I saw the long dark brown lashes of Chase.

I slightly push the still talking Princess a little as I jumped into his arms.

"HEY BABE." He kissed my cheek as his arms wrapped tightly around me. "I haven't seen you in a while."

My legs instantly wrapped around his waist as I sighed into his neck. Remembering how Legacie forced us to stay home for two weeks. I had to cook a big brunch for her friends and their family. Blossom was treated like a nanny. Babysitting the children and taking them out. And Buttercup I still don't know what they made her do but she flinches whenever the phone rings or the family comes back.

"Yea sorry family business," I lie smoothly. Smiling as I pecked his lips. I look in the corner of my eye seeing a seething red face Princess. Why was she still there? She never stayed around Chase or even talked to him. Before I could question the two the bell rung. Chase put me down with a chuckle as he took me to class.

"I'll walk you to the first block." Nodding at him I laid my head on his shoulder. He's the second shortest guy on the football team and I couldn't be happier. I loved being able to just stretch to kiss him.

Stopping at my locker I gathered the books I need for class. He quickly took them holding them in his hand as he guided me to class.

"Thank you, my star." I thanked him kissing his cheek as we reached my class. Taking my stuff I waved goodbye and sit in my seat waiting for class to finally start.

Walking towards the front office I immediately went to the desk. Mrs. Freya, the normal secretary was on maternity leave. So I agreed to help her and the principal. I would do her normal work until she was back. I just had to files morning announcements if there were any.

I was now updating the school's website. It didn't take long for me to finish the simple task. I didn't have a first block so I was bored. I finished my homework last night. With nothing else to do, I started playing around in the office chair. Sledding across the room behind the desk I smiled as I figured out how to add a spin. I was so deeply into my fun I didn't notice the four men walking inside.

"Ahem" I halted my spin with a quick stomp of my feet. Looking up I blushed deeply at the grinning men in front of me. The tallest one smiled at me. I just smiled back and rolled towards the Dell computer desktop.

"How may I help you, sir?" I asked for ing myself to calm down.

"Yes. I'm Jeffery. These are my so-"

"Step-sons." Jeffery was interpreted by the blonde boy. He seemed to be the second shortest out of the four. Jeffery is a couple of inches shorter than him.

"Um...Okay. What're their names?" I asked setting the info pages on the computer.

"Yes, Well Brick Keane, Butch Keane, and Boomer Keane." I typed in their names. I slid over to the filing cabinet. I grabbed three sets of five different papers. I handed them to the three boys.

''Fill these out and I'll set up your schedules," I said. The three boys nodded and went to sit in the waiting room. I handed Jeffery a card.

"This is a parent info card. Please fill it out.'' I said. I waited quietly for them to finish. The three boys brought me their paperwork. I looked at all three of their course sheet. Checking for availability I smiled. I hate having to change someone else schedule. It was a pain.

Printing out their schedules with a map of the school, I looked them over for any mistakes. Nodding quietly. I handed them their respected schedules.

"I'll show you to your classes ok," I said to three boys. Jeffery handed me the parental sheet and left. I grabbed my school bag and showed the boys to their class.

*Buttercup POV *

"BBBBUUUUUTTTTTEEEERRRRCCCUUUUPPPP!" I shot out of my bed from the ear-piercing screech. Running quickly down the stairs I forgot I was still in my pajamas. It wasn't much just an oversized tank top that barely covered anything. I skidded to stop between my sisters. I looked at the devil's worst creation or maybe it was his best? Our stepmother Legacie stood happily in front of a group of people. The men were looking at me and my sisters over nodding in approval and whispering to themselves.

"These are my maids. John made sure I had the best. Isn't that right sweetheart?" Legacie lied. We looked towards our creator we haven't called him our father in a long time now but I don't think he actually cared.

"Yes my dear, you must have the finest and the best money can afford. What I will like to know is why they are not in their uniforms." The Witches lap dog glared at us. Blossom walked forward. Her eyes looked dull compared to the bright pink I remember.

"I apologize, Mr. Utonium. We were not informed that there would be a company over. Please, we will get dressed right away." Blossom bowed slightly. I looked towards Bubbles who shakingly bowed behind Bloss. I slowly bowed keeping my eyes down.

"Please do. Your uniforms are in your closet." Legacie said whispering the last part. We nodded. Walking upstairs my sisters and I stopped at the last step. I looked at them Bubbles still shaking. I grabbed her hand and smiled slightly at her. We turned to Blossom she looked tired but I knew she wouldn't admit it if we asked. She took my hand.

"We'll do whatever it takes. We won't fall to them. Ok. We're the Powerpuff Girls and we don't lose." Blossom said. Pulling us into a hug. I and Bubbles nodded. I smiled watching as her eyes twitch from the painful migraine she was most likely sporting.

We went to our room and got dressed. We were in the standard English maid uniform. Walking down together and we stood in front of our 'masters'.

"So have you boys decided yet," John asked the men in the back of the room. They nodded and whispered to him and Legacie. That bitch started to smirk. Her grinning face and excitement in her eyes made me nervous. I hated being nervous. She stood up and walked in front of us. A big smile on her face as she looked us over.

"Bubbles go make a big brunch...NOW!'' She screamed when Bubbles didn't move fast enough. Bubbles walked quickly towards the kitchen.

"Blossom, take the kids to the park. make sure that you are back with all ten. O and here's a credit card. Make sure they have fun." Blossom nodded and walked to the kids that were watching cartoons on the TV. I watched as Blossom and the kids walked out the door holding a bright red rope. I turned towards Legacie and her friends. A shiver went down my spine when all the men smirked at me.

"Buttercup you will be these six gentlemen's maid for the day. You will do whatever they ask. No, if's, an's, or but's. Do you understand?" Legacie moved my right bang out of my face. Her grin deepened as she looked me in the eye.

"Does she talk?" One of the men asked. Legacie shook her head. The man stared at me licking his lips with hunger. John may have taken away our ability to fly but I could still read minds. I gained the ability on my ninth birthday I hated it and typically kept it off.

' I'll make you scream.' I heard him loud and clear I know exactly what they were going to do to me and it made me want to cry.

"Miss Utonium! Is my lesson that boring that you fell asleep."My English teacher, Mr. Cider yelled. I shooked my head no. I looked up at him watching him frown softly. My head was ringing as I forced myself awake. He walked back up to the board and started the lesson again. I looked forward to seeing flashes of that day again and again. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. I'm Buttercup. I don't cry. The bell finally rang and I stood to leave.

"Miss Utonium. Please stay." Mr. Cider said. I nodded and sat down at the desk close to his. He moved forward and looked at me. I leaned back a little and looked behind him on the clock.

"Miss Utonium. Is everything fine at home? If there is something wrong you can always tell. Just the week before last you were giving out smart comments and now your not saying a thing in class. If something is going on please tell someone it doesn't have to be me." Mr. Cider said. I could see the worry in his eyes. I don't know why I'm his worst student, shouldn't he hate me? I could tell him. I probably should sense it'd getting worst but all I could muster was a nod. I took a deep breath and let it out.

"I will. If anything is ever wrong I'll tell you first I promise." I lied. I couldn't tell if he knew I was lying but the worry in his eyes never left. There was so much going on that just thinking about my summer makes me want to jump off a building. Mr. Cider smiled at me and wrote me a pass to my next class. I had to hurry this time. I went to the gym and gave Coach Freya my note and left the school. Heading back to hell, I open the door and the devil was there with her minions smirking at me softly. As I closed the front door.
