Episode 2: Blair and Bella Marie
In Townsville, it's raining hard that it can be hard loud from inside. Inside the Utonium Home, the two new girls, Blair and Bella Marie are sleeping in the girls' bedroom on their bed. The two are fast asleep. Downstairs in the living room, the girls explain to the professor about the girls, their situation, and their resemblance.
After hearing the story, the professor says, "I see, those girls have been stealing food and money because they were trying to survive and were going to leave town."
"It seems like it. We managed to bring back the food and money that they stole. It seems that they were saving all the money, but already eaten a few of the food," Blossom says.
"They are also wearing clothes that looks like you can get from a Flea Market," Buttercup adds.
Bubbles asks, "Professor, what are we going to do? We can't let them live like this, can we?"
"No. It will be wrong to allow those two to steal to survive. Especially what you told me about the uh, red girl, Blair could do," The professor answers.
"Yeah. That girl attacked us with her powers. She practically pinned us to the wall," Buttercup says,
"True, but I think she was a afraid. You saw how she hold that other girl, Bella close to her. She doesn't want herself and her sister to get hurt. If Bliss hadn't calm her down, she should have send us flying or something," Blossom says.
Bliss says, "That still leaves a few questions? Could the girls have other powers? Not only that, where did they come from? Who they really are?"
"Yes, that has been bothering me too, especially who those two girls resembles," The professor says.
"What do you mean?" Bliss asks, looking nervous.
The professor says, "You knew since you first saw them. It's also another reason why you decided to took them in. It was because who they look like. They both remind you of someone you know. I'll let you explain that part."
Bliss sighs, "You're right. When I saw them, I was shocked. They look exactly like us, but… For some strange reason, Bella Marie resembles Mojo, and Blair resembles Him. That has been bothering me for a while."
"Yeah. That has been bothering me too. Why do they look like villains we know and look like us?" Buttercup asks.
"I think we can agree that has been bothering us as well. Do you think they're aware of it?" Blossom asks.
"They have to be, if they were created," Buttercup says.
"Maybe. We should go ask them ourselves," Blossom says.
In the girls' bedroom, Blair and Bella Marie are still asleep in the room. Suddenly, Blair slowly open her eyes and lifts herself to a sitting possession. Blair holds her head with her claw and looks around the room.
Blair yawns, and says in thought, "That's right, those girls allowed me and my sister to stay in their home and to sleep in their room until they talked to their father."
Blair looks around to see the pink room, with a small table with small chairs, books, games, toys, and other furniture and house items in the room. Just then, she hears mumbling and turns to see Bella waking up as well. Bella is getting up and turns to see Blair.
"Hi Blair," Bella says with a smile. Of course, she isn't wearing her glasses.
Blair smiles, "Hi."
Blair turns to the desk in front of her to see Bella's glasses. She picks it up, and puts it on her face.
"Thanks," Bella replies.
Just then, the doors open, and the girls and their father, Professor Utonium walk into the room. Bliss and the girls sit on the bed with the two girls while the professor sit on a small chair that is in the room.
"Um, hello," Bella shyly says.
"Hi," Blair replies.
"Hi girls, it's good to see you again. How are you both feeling?" Bliss asks.
"We're alright. We;re just um, feel a bit weird being surrounded by you," Blair says.
"Why's that?" Buttercup bluntly asks.
"Well um, Blair and I usually just kept to ourselves. We don't hang out or surround ourselves by crowds," Bella says.
"Hmm, no wonder why no one is able to know who they are," Blossom says.
Blair remorse, "I guess so, but I'm sorry I used my powers at you. I-I was afraid you were going to attack us."
"Well, normally we would attack bad guys, but you both don't seem to be bad at all. You two seem to steal in order to get food and other needs," Bubbles says.
"I guess. We don't exactly have money to buy food, and the home we're living in is scheduled to be torn down. That is why we're stealing some food, and money for our leave. Usually, we just steal food, but with our situation, we need money," Bella says.
Blair says, "We try our best to take only a few things, stuff that you won't miss if they're gone. We mostly steal a little bit of food, so that no one will notice. However, because of our upcoming situation, we had to steal a little more than we're supposed to and that's how people begin to report of the robberies."
The professor asks, "how long have you both lived in that building, and what happened to your parents?"
The two girls look at each other with sadness and nod their head to an agreement.
Blair says, "The truth is, we don't know our parents. We don't even know what happened to us. It happened a year ago. Bella and I have awoke to see a destroyed building. There was no one except the two of us. That's how we first met each other. Since we don't know anything about our location, our origins, or our parents, we both decided to stay together."
"For the whole year, Blair and I have been traveling from town to town in short amount of time. Soon enough, we came to Townsville. We thought it will be a good home because it's known for having unique people and unusual creatures. We don't reveal ourselves to people because um," Bella says, but becomes nervous.
Blair says, "We're kind of shy, and worried how people will react towards us."
The girls and the professor are doing their best to keep up with the girls' story. Their story seems like a very sad one, and it's show that they had a hard life up to now.
Blair adds, "We actually heard of you girls. It made us wish we were brave like to show yourself despite of your gifts, and be able to be friends with everyone in the city."
"But we were too scared to," Bella adds.
"Well, now you got us to stand by you," Bliss says.
"Yeah. you don't need to be afraid of us or anyone. Except for the bad guys that attack Townsville," Bubblessays.
Buttercup asks, "So you have no idea who your parents are, like at all?"
"Unfortunately, we don't know if we have parents at all. We woke up all alone in a destroyed building," Blair says.
"Sounds rough," Buttercup says.
"It's okay. We've been used to this for a year," Blair says.
"Yeah. Only problem is that you're stealing in order to survive. No offence, but you can't just your life stealing, and hiding," Blossoms says.
Bubbles asks, "Why? They do it in the books you read."
"Like what?" Blossom asks.
"Remember that book you read not too long ago. I think it's called 'The Borrowers' or something," Bubbles says.
Confused Bella asks, "What is 'The Borrowers?'"
"It's a book I read. I guess, it's kind of similar to what you and your sisters do. The Borrowers is a about a family that it small as a person's thumb, and they live until a house of normal sized humans. They take stuff like sugar, crumbles, and other things. Things that humans won't miss if they're gone. They also had to remain hidden from the humans as well," Blossom says.
Bella and Blair become interested in this story.
Blair says, "That sounds like something that we do. We take things that human won't think of looking, and we try our best to remain hidden from society."
"Talk about the likeness," Buttercup says.
The professor says, "Still, after what you and my daughters told me, I think it will be best for you both to stay with us."
"Are you sure? We don't want to be a burden," Blair asks.
"Yes. We don't want to cause any trouble," Bella adds.
"It's okay, we just want to take care of you. You'll be happy if you surround yourself with a loving family," The professor says.
Bubbles says, "Yeah. We have super powers too. You both will fit right in."
"I have to agree," Buttercup says.
"And we can also sign you of for proper education. You can go to our school," Blossom says.
"No way. They don't need school," Buttercup says.
"They do," Blossom denies.
"Do not," Buttercup adds.
"Do too!" Blossom says.
"Do not!" Buttercup shouts.
"Do too!" Blossom shouts.
Soon, the two begin to fight and argue with each other. Blair and Bella Marie become confused to see the two girls arguing with each other.
The girls look at the others.
Blair asks, "Are they always like this?"
"Um usually, but we all get along," Bubbles says.
Then Bliss asks, "Uh, you both want something to eat. You both must be hungry."
"Um sure," Bella says.
"Okay," Blair replies.
After walking downstairs to the kitchen, Bliss gives the girls a bowl of cereal. Bella and Blair enjoy it, even though they say the milk is cold.
"This cereal does taste good, but milk is rather cold," Blair says.
"Well, the milk need to stay cold otherwise they'll become sour when they warm up," Bliss says.
Then the professor says, "Now girls, because you'll be living with us, there will be a few things we need to talk about."
"Like what?" Blair asks.
"Well, for one, you do need to give back the money and food you have taken," The professor says.
Bella and Blair blush a little.
"You're right. What we did was bad, even though we were desperate," Bella says.
Blair says, "Okay, we promise to give the money back, and return the food we haven't wait."
Then Blair asks, "But, what do we do about the food we already ate?"
"I'm sure once we explained your situation they won't take it too hard, but you both will need to work for it," The professor says.
"Yes sir," the girls says.
"Yes. I suppose we haven't been introduced. My name is Professor Utonium," The professor says.
"It's very nice to meet you. I'm Blair, and this is my sister Bella Marie, but you can call her Bella," Blair says.
"It's a pleasure to meet you two," The professor says.
Blair asks, "Is there anything else we need to know, like the rules and other stuff?"
"Well, you both need to behave and not get yourselves into trouble, and you need to listen to the girls when you go out," The professor says.
"Okay," The girls say.
"Now that all that is settled, we should make sure to make you all feel at home. The girls and I will get the guest room for you both to sleep in," The professor says.
"We really appreciate it. We never been around such kind people," blair says.
"Yeah. We're super cool," Buttercup says.
"Yeah. We're here to help. So if there's anything you both need, just tell us and we'll help," Blossoms says.
"Well, I guess Bella and I could stay here. We both actually have super powers, but we don't use them so much. It the best way to remain hidden is to use our powers when it's needed the most," Blair says.
"Yeah. Seeing you girls, you used them a lot," Bella replies.
"That's true. We use our powers for all sort of things, besides saving the day from bad guys," Buttercup says.
"I understand. Maybe with your help, Bella and I can understand and control our powers. That is, if you don't mind having two sisters in your family," Blair says.
The girls hug the two girls, and shout, "Yay!"
Blair and Bella look at each other confused, but them smile. They decide to stay with the family and learn about living in the real world among the people of Townsville, and learn more about their powers.
