What They Really Think
Chapter 7
Professor and the Girls
Love That Lets Go
The hotline rings. Our small heroes look up and Blossom answers. She takes the call and the girls fly out the window. The Professor watches sadly. His little girls, risking their lives for a city who had hated them. They were selfless and caring. He sits down and waits for them, emitting a small sigh.
After the fight they arrive home, and he breathes a sigh of relief. Bubbles turns to him and crawls into his lap.
"We're back. It's okay.", she says softly, placing a hand on his shoulder. Her soft voice fills the room.
There's a gold frame,
That sits by the window.
And my heart breaks,
A little more each time I try,
To picture the memory inside.
He starts to sing with her. The other girls crowd around them, listening.
There's a notebook,
It's to hard to read it
But if you look,
You'd see how you look through my eye's,
But now one more chapter's gone by,
And I know...
The group embraces and a few tears roll down the Professor's cheek as he looks at them each in turn. Blossom, his gorgeous, sassy, redhead leader. Buttercup, his amazing, loyal, ravenette fighter. And Bubbles, his beautiful, sweet, blonde joy. He holds them all as they sing together.
It's time to move on;
Even though I'm not ready.
I've got to be strong,
And trust where you're heading.
Even though It's not easy (not easy),
Right now the right kind of love...
Is the love that let's go, go
It was so difficult to watch them go out and fight everyday. He worried that every fight would be their last. He worried that all the fighting would become the only reason they wanted to be heroes, especially with Buttercup.
Bubbles squeezes his hand innocently as she sings.
There's an old dance that we've done forever
Blossom takes his other one.
You give me your hand, but let me decide when to reach
Buttercup hugs him around the neck and stands on the couch, which didn't bother him today like it would usually.
You always let me be me
Bubbles starts crying as well, though without her usual heartbreaking sobs, but still manages to keep singing with her sisters.
But now's my time to take chances
And find my own wings
And whatever happens
I know you'll be there waiting for me
The Professor joins his daughters again, the words going from his heart to his mouth.
It's time to move on, even though I'm not ready
I've got to be strong, and trust where I'm heading
And even though it's not easy, (it's not easy)
I know the right kind of love
Doesn't wanna miss the future,
Or stand in the past.
It will always hold on;
But never hold you back.
And even though It's not easy (not easy),
Right now the right kind of love
Is love that let's go.
The Professor smiles as his girls yawn tiredly. He puts them on the couch and covers them up. He sings a final line.
It's time I let you
They respond sleepily.
With a love that let's
Then they finish together, in a harmony only a family could understand.
Go...
