Buttercup stood in front of me. Green fire surrounded her. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted tea while the world is about to be destroyed!" She yelled.

"Sarcasm not welcome." She glared at me. "I thought you were going to fix this!" she yelled.

"I'm trying but you came just a few days ago. Give me some time."

"We don't have time!" I sighed. "Well we're trying to reverse the curse. So if you know how to now will be a good time to explain."

"Light taken into the closest fire. Only darkness survives the heat. Hiding in the middle. No one can win. That's where you can find my soul."

"Heat? Is that why you're on fire." She smiled and disappeared.

"What you guys are leaving!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry Butch but the Mayor called and said the city is swarming with criminals." Blossom told us.

I sighed. "But I can give you something. Princess was found twelve miles away from her private island. On it was a volcano." I smiled.

"Thanks." Bubbles and Blossom waved and flew off.

I looked at Buttercup who was sad that they were leaving. "It's okay kid you'll see them again."

She looked up at me. "Really?" I nodded. I knew it won't be long before she saw them again, but if she sees us again is an entirely different story.

"Butch? Can I go to your job today?" She asked.

"I'm sorry Buttercup but I can't take you today." She pouted. "How about this when I get home I'll take you out to that café."

Her eyes widened like saucers. "Really!" I gave her a light smile. "Really."

Like I had promised I took Buttercup to the café. She got her favorite food. Then I walked her back home. As we walked we came across a toy store.

"Butch! Look!" I turned and saw a giant soft black wolf plush toy. "It's so pretty!"

I laughed. Then took her inside the store. "Buttercup I will buy this on one condition."

"Anything!"

Brick

I don't know what was more surprising. Butch coming home with a giant plush toy or for dinner Buttercup ate chicken without complaining for apples instead.

"How did you get her to eat that? All she eats is apples." I asked. He smiled. "Let's just say she and I came to an understanding."

"I'm finished!" She yelled showing us her clear plate.

After showering I got ready for bed. I saw a DVD on my bed. 'B.C' was written on the front. "Hey Buttercup come here!" I called.

It turned out the DVD had videos of the girls when they were younger. Buttercup sat on next to me silently as we watched. It was just me and her.

One of them was their tenth birthday.

"Here you go Buttercup." The professor told her giving her a present. She ripped it open revealing a black and green soccer ball. The words B.C on the front.

"I love it! Thank-you Professor!" She smiled. "Who are these people?" Buttercup asked me.

It had been a while but I remember their names. "Well the guy in the lab coat is Professor, the lady in the red dress is , next is , Mitch, Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup."

That night Buttercup and I stayed up all night watching that video. She stayed quiet the entire time.
