Chapter 12:
Bunny POV:
Blossom was done washing her herself up in the pond and same with Buttercup. They took turns. After that the four of us ate and headed to our sleeping spot. Everyone was sleeping soundly. It was quite windy at night, I opened one of eyes and I saw Bubbles shivering badly. I saw the quilt; it was covering me, Blossom and Buttercup. I got up and gave Bubbles a slight push and not hard, which would wake her up. When she was close enough to Buttercup I put the quilt over her and she stopping shivering. Thankfully the quilt covered my sisters. I went over to Rocky and lay my head on his stomach. He made soft sound, and I noticed to the other dogs huddling on me with their fur to keep me warm. I guess he noticed I was shivering and told the other dogs. It was a Cold Breeze and I was still very cold. I tired not to shiver much and did the best I could to go to sleep.
Next Morning…
Blossom POV:
"Girls time for school!" I say waking them up.
I see Buttercup and Bubbles starting to wake up, and I noticed Bunny was not here. I walk a little and see she is cuddled up with the dogs. I guess she was shivering. I walk towards her.
"Hey, Bunny wake up." I say waking her up gently. She opens her eyes and stretches.
"Hey Bloss, (sniffle)" Bunny says. I noticed her noise her red.
"Did you catch a flu?" I ask her.
"No. I am fine. Bubbles was shivering badly last night so I shifted her over to where I was laid down. It kept her warm so I came here and slept with the dogs." Bunny says sniffling again. I guess she got a little sick. We only had one quilt with us.
"Bunny if you get really sick later, just come back here. I talk to Katy and she will explain to your teachers." I say to her and she nods.
I go and get dressed.
Buttercup POV:
Blossom told me Bunny got sick overnight and dams it; she can't take a day off. Stupid parent notes. I am starting to hate the person who came up with this idea. Today for school I am wearing green pants, with a plain black top, black and white converse, and hair in a low ponytail.
Bubbles was wearing blue jeans, with a plain white shirt with a blue hoodie, Dark blue running shoes, and her hair was in two ponytails.
Blossom was wearing red jeans, with a white shirt that said 'PINKY' in pink letters, pink converse, and her hair in a high ponytail that was held up by a red bow.
Since Bunny was a little sick, she wore blue jeans, a white full sleeved shirt with a purple hoodie, purple converse and her hair in a side braid.
"Hey Bunny, how are you feeling?" Bubbles asks Bunny is worry.
"I'm fine Bubs. Let's go to school now." Bunny says while picking up her bag pack. Spike was following her around, guess he is also worried. My sisters and I had leftover snacks from yesterday that Bunny and Blaze bought. We all grabbed our school bags and headed out to school. I look at my ipod and it was 7:30 a.m.
Bunny POV:
We arrived at school and Bubbles was with me. After putting our bags in our lockers, getting our books she guided me to my first class.
"Thanks Bubs. You should head to your class." I say to her. She hugs me and whispers to my ear.
"I will be back at the end of first class to see how you are doing."
I give a little smile. She walks off. Blossom was on the second floor and BC was in gym, which was on the other side of the school. Bubbles class was down the hall. I walk in and go to my seat and log on to the computer. My head started to feel really heavy. I put my head down for a while.
It wasn't long till I heard some students walk in but kept my head down. I kept sniffling and then I felt a hand on my left shoulder. I look up and I see Blaze. He was wearing a purple and white stripped shirt, blue jeans and black running shoes.
"Hey." He says
"Hello Blaze." I say and then put my head back down.
"Are you okay? Your face is turning a little red." I hear him say with worry in his voice. Why does he worry so much about me?
"I'm fine Blaze don't worry about me." I say, lifting my head and walking towards the tissue box, which was at the teacher's desk. I take a few, use one to blow my nose, throw it in garbage and head back to my seat. Still sniffling.
"You have a flu and now you are catching a fever." He says feeling my forehead. I blush a little. Then the teacher walks in and noticed I that it was 8:00 a.m. meaning class had begun.
"Today we will be watching a movie called 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' we are watching because it is part of your project. You be working in pairs and will create your own story with visuals. So when you are watching the movie, make sure to look at the detail, color contrast and the artistic concepts." Mr. Ho says while passing out the sheets.
The project was worth 10% of my grade. Some student had turned of the light, and turned around to face the screen. It was hard for me because my eyes were getting watery, my head hurts and on top of that I keep sniffling. I already know the movie inside out so I did not pay much attention. I kept my eyes closed because the brightness of the movie was hurting my eyes.
"Bunny, are you okay?" Blaze whispers since he sitting next to me.
"I'm fine, just pay attention to the movie." I say in a low voice.
…
Class was over and Mr. Ho stopped the movie at the part where Snow white is cleaning the house. I turn around and log off my computer, pick up my bag and started to head out and I noticed Blaze. I guess since we are friends I might as well wait to be polite. I waited for him at the door and then we left. I saw Bubbles approaching me.
"Bunny! Are you okay? How are you feeling? Oh hello Blaze!" Bubbles asked me in concern.
"Hey Bubbles, what's wrong with Bunny?" Blaze asks Bubbles. I did not have to courage to talk because I was really tired. Even though only one class had gone by.
"She got sick over night." Bubbles says to Blaze.
"Guys, I am alright. Bubbles go to your next class and at the end of the day meet me at the lockers." I instruct her before she gets late for her class.
"Ok. See you later and take care." with she heads off and so do we.
Blaze and I go to our next class. I don't know how I will survive through today, even if it's just the second day school. God help me.
Bubbles POV:
I was in my Art History class. Boomer knew I was worried about Bunny since I told him in my first period class. He was wearing a sky blue shirt, with dark blue jeans, and white running shoes. Boomer and sat together in every class. Mrs. Condren taught my art history class.
"Today students you will be taking notes on the Impressionist and Post Impressionist. You may work with a partner on this if you choose to do so." Mrs. Condren says and we get to work.
Boomer and I were working together and we decided to split up the Work. I did the impressionist and he did the post-impressionist. All we had to do was; write down a name of the painting the artist did, their technique and inspiration they sent other artist around the world.
After a while Boomer and me were done were done taking notes and we shared each other's information. I took some notes from his research and he did the same. When we were done that my mind started to drift towards Bunny's fever.
"I hope Bunny is ok." I say looking down at my notes.
"She will be fine and besides, Blaze is with her. He won't let anything happen to her." Boomer says, I managed to do a little smile.
"How can you be so sure?" I ask him,
"We are brothers. The four of us care for our friends in all ways. Therefore, Blaze cares for Bunny, you and your sisters." Boomer says which relaxes me, completely. He knows exactly what to say to me. It's like he is the other half of me. The bell rings and we both head to our last class.
Blossom POV:
I was in my last class of the day and Brick was sitting beside me. I couldn't help think of Bunny. She was sick and we had no medicine with us either. I was in English class and the teacher's name was Mr. William. We were given a story to read which 5 pages long single-sided, and there five questions near the end. Every now and then Brick would glance at me, to see if I was okay. He was wearing a blood red shirt with black jeans, red converse and a red cap from yesterday and had it backwards. What is the deal with the cap? I thought. I told in my math class about Bunny and he told me not to worry because Blaze is with her.
I finished my work and handed it in on the teacher's desk and went back to my seat. I was really impatient right now and really eager for class to end. There were like 15 minutes before the end of class.
Fives minutes passed by and Brick went and handed in his reading comprehension. Sadly we couldn't talk. Suddenly a paper ball landed on my desk.
I unwrapped it and it said:
Relax, Bloss Bunny will be fine. We will go straight to the locker hallway after this and meet Bunny there with Blaze. Don't worry, we are all here for her and you.
-Brick :)
I turn my head sideways to meet Brick's face. I gave him a smile to let him know that his note helped me, which it did actually. Then I hear the bell ring and I zoomed out of class and headed towards the locker hallway. Brick was behind me.
Locker Hallway Bunny POV:
I started to feel worse by now. Class ended and I headed out of the room and went to the locker hallway. I didn't bother to wait for Blaze, but apparently he his bag packed before me therefore it was the opposite. We were walking down the hallway and I had trouble standing. When I reached my locker I sat down beside it instead of opening it because now I could hardly stand. I was shivering and had zipped up my hoodie. I was hugging my books to my chest and Blaze was in front of me in an instant.
"Bunny we need to get you home. Now." Blaze says to me sternly.
"I don't need to. I will get better soon." I say with my eyes closed because water was dripping down my eyes. I wasn't crying or anything.
"BUNNY!" I knew those voices therefore I didn't need to turn around. It was Bubbles, Buttercup and Blossom. They rushed over to me.
"You have gotten worse. We have to take you to Ms. Katy." Buttercup says with extreme worry.
"Guys… I am having trouble walking. Bring her here. My legs are tired." I say in a really tired voice.
Suddenly, someone had scooped me up in to their arms and was now holding me Bridal style. My eyes that were hardly open, went wide open when I saw who it was. Blaze.
"Blaze put me down!" I couldn't yell since I was so tired.
"Be quiet Bunny, you just said you could not walk because your legs gave out." he says.
"Yeah but-"
"No buts… Now where is the Nurses office BC?" he says looking over from me to Buttercup and my sisters.
"It is this way" BC says, and all of the boys and my sisters follow. I put my head against Blaze chest because I started to hurt again.
"My head hurts." I say in a low voice.
"Don't worry. I'm here." Blaze whispers into my ear, I guess he heard. He kept following my sisters while holding on to me.
The Nurse Office (No ones POV):
The Boys and Girls arrived at the Nurse's office.
"Hi Ms. Katy." Blossom says.
"Hello Blossom. What brings you all here? And what happened to Bunny?" Katy asks with worry, when looking at her.
"She got a cold overnight. But now has a fever as well. Can you help her?" Bubbles says with tears going down her check.
"Ok, lay her over there on the bed." She says and Blaze goes over and puts Bunny down gently on the bed. He steps away when Katy comes over to Bunny with a thermometer and places it in her mouth.
"How did she get this sick?" she asked the girls.
"Well she found Bubbles shivering and gave her the whole space, making sure the quilt was covering her. Then she went over to the dogs and laid with them." Blossom says with a tear coming down her check. Brick hugs Blossom, attempting to comfort her. Boomer wipes Bubbles tears away with his thumbs and hugs her tight. Butch was beside Buttercup, with his hand going up and down her arm for comfort. Buttercup was trying to remain strong, but later butch hugged her. When they heard the thermometer beep, Katy takes it out of her mouth. It said 103 degrees.
"She needs a to rest two or three days, or it can get worse. This is a normal fever, but let me give you the medicine. I'll give her one now, but make sure to give her one again at night after eating." She tells them.
"Ok." Blossom says.
"Do I have to rest that along? What about school?" Bunny says after taking the medicine Katy gives her.
"I'll write a note to your teacher's explaining your condition Bunny. So don't worry about." Katy says and informs everyone. Ever since, the girls were in school Katy took care of their health and the girls were thankful. Katy treated them as if the girls were her own daughters. They boys were a little confused.
"Why not get your parents to write it?" Butch asks the girls and Katy with a confused face.
The girls went silent. They didn't know what to say or how to answer that question, because only Katy new their secret. Expect for their hideout on where they live. They had told Katy they live in a near by apartment.
"Girls, I suggest you tell these boys your story. They seemed to have helped you a lot since yesterday. I know what happened with Bunny and Bubbles, and know Bunny is sick and it hasn't even been a week. It's best for Bunny and yourselves." Katy says.
"We understand." Blossom says.
The eight teens head out and Blossom takes to medicine before leaving. Bunny wanted to walk but Blaze didn't let her, instead he held her again, bridal style. Blossom did say anything since they knew her condition and same with the rest of Bunny sisters. Buttercup was carrying Bunny's bag pack and Butch was carrying Blaze's bag pack. They headed out of the school building and started to walk down the street.
"Well are you girls gonna tell us your story?" Butch asks the girls.
" Aren't you guys gonna go home?" Buttercup says to Butch, completely ignoring the question.
"Nope, we are gonna drop you off first, now answer my question." Butch says to her with full determination.
"It's not a big deal." Buttercup says to Butch and the boys
"It is a big deal otherwise Ms. Katy would not have asked you to tell us." Brick says to Buttercup.
They stop in front of Townsville park.
"Ok. Put me down now Blaze, my sister can help me stand." Bunny says to Blaze.
"Bunny I will put you down at your home and so stop complaining. You know you like it" Blaze says to Bunny with a smirk.
"I DO NOT!" she yells, with a bright red blush.
"Guys they deserve to know." Bubbles says eyeing her sisters. They all look at her shocked.
"Bubbles we can't." Bunny says
"Yes, we can. Me, you Bloss and BC need help. We can't live like this forever. Ms. Katy would not have said that if she did not trust them." Bubbles says with tears falling from her eyes again.
"What's wrong?" Boomer asked
"We won't tell you, instead we will show it to you." Blossom gives in with Bubbles because she knew that Bubbles was right. They did need help and it was about time they got. The Boys followed the girls in the park and were confused to why they were here.
"What are we doing in the park?" Butch asks the girls.
"Just keep walking." Bunny says to Butch.
Blaze looks down at her and sees that Bunny seemed nervous and scared. It wasn't just her, it was all the girls they never really showed anyone their hideout. When they arrived near a cave. The boys saw Patch, Spike, Rocky and Rex guarding the cave.
"Why are they guarding the cave?" Brick asks Blossom.
"Because… This is where we live." Blossom says to Brick. He and his brother froze on their spot.
