Today was the night of the dance; Buttercup was on the phone with her friend Derek

"Ok so we will meet by the food table" said Buttercup

"Yup, see you there sweetheart" replied Derek

"Bye gay boy"

Derek was laughing on the other end of the phone "love yah"

Before Buttercup hung up the phone she heard yelling in the background and a smash, before she could ask any questions Derek hung up. Buttercup sighed and prayed nothing bad would happen before the dance, she went downstairs so her and her sisters could head to the dance

"Whoa why are you so dressed up Bubbles, it is a casual dance" said Buttercup

"I always have to look pretty" replied Bubbles

Bubbles was wearing a blue and white striped halter sundress, with white heals. Her hair was down and curled, she had a white headband in her hair with a Blue flower on it. She had on silver hoop earrings and a matching silver bracelet and blue sparkly eye shadow. Blossom was wearing a red mini skirt with a pink tank top that had a heart on it; she was also wearing red flats. She had her hair up in a pony tail with a red and pink polka dotted ribbon tied around it. She had on pink eye shadow and diamond earrings she got when she turned thirteen.

Buttercup was in dark blue jean capris, and surprisingly they were girl capris, but they did have a hole at the knee. She had on her black sneakers with white laces instead of green and a black t-shirt with a skull on it. Her hair was down and a mess. She had on a spiked black bracelet on her right arm and she didn't wear any make up, as usual.

"Lets go girls, I told my uh date we wouldn't be late" said Blossom

Buttercup and Bubbles looked at Blossom strangely "who is your date?" asked Bubbles

"Brick" said Blossom quickly and quietly

"BRICK JOJO" yelled Buttercup

Blossom rolled her eyes "yes he asked me out and I said yes"

"Whatever" said Buttercup angrily

She yells at me for being friends with Butch but now she is going out with Brick. That makes no sense

The girls flew to the dance and once they entered they all split up, Buttercup headed over to the food table to wait for Derek

"Hey toots lets dance" said Butch

Buttercup smiled "don't call me toots"

"Sorry babe"

Buttercup rolled her eyes and punched Butch "don't call me babe either"

"Fine let's go Buttercup"

Buttercup smiled "that's better"

The dance was only two and a half hours long, an hour had passed Buttercup and Butch were having a great time dancing and eating but they were kind of worried about Derek

"Ok it has been an hour, where is Derek?" asked Buttercup worriedly

"Did he say he was gonna be late?" asked Butch

"No but before I hung up the phone I heard yelling and a smash in the background" said Buttercup, she looked up at Butch with wide eyes "you don't think they beat him again, do you?"

Butch sighed "we have to do something, lets go save him"

Buttercup nodded and they flew off full speed towards Derek's house

They were too late; outside of Derek's house were several police cars and an ambulance, not to mention a huge crowd of people. Derek's parents were being handcuffed and shoved into the back of a police car while a body was being brought out of the house on an stretcher and placed in the ambulance

Buttercup eyes widened the body was Derek, Buttercup couldn't handle the sight she broke down. Her and Butch were hovering above the seen, but once Buttercup saw her friend being put into an ambulance she couldn't bare it, she started to fall to the ground, she couldn't find the strength to fly. Butch flew down and caught her before she hit the cement, Butch held Buttercup close to him as she started to overflow with tears; he held her head to his chest not caring if she was soaking him.

Buttercup kept saying the same thing over and over again "we should have helped him, we should have done something"

While Butch kept repeating "its ok Buttercup" even though it was far from ok

Buttercup's heart was racing, would her friend make it? Would he be ok? Why didn't she save him? She wanted to go back in time and help him; she wanted to stop this from ever happening. Butch felt the same way but he knew this event, this tragedy couldn't be undone.

They both prayed that Derek would be ok, that he wouldn't be to injured, that he wouldn't get brain damage or anything serious. They both knew they couldn't do anything they could only pray for their poor friend Derek

Sadly no one could help Derek anymore because….

Derek is dead
