Chapter 2

Hello all! I would very much like to thank MonstarzGirl for INSPIRING me! :D Her plus my random ideas should make this fic VERY enjoyable! :)

I don't own PPG.

Bubbles poked at her spaghetti, completely lost to the current conversation. She couldn't stop thinking of the text...

Was Him just messing around? Or was he being serious? She wasn't totally sure. What if he was telling the truth? What would Blossom say, or do?

"Bubbles!" Blossom's voice brought her out of her thoughts. She blinked, and saw that the Professor, Buttercup and Blossom were all staring at her. She shifted uncomfortabley.

"Um, sorry guys. I guess I was zoned out. What were you saying?" she asked nervously. Professor Utonium looked at her carefully, making her a bit on edge. Finally, he repeated his question.

"How is your relationship going?"

The Professor didn't really like the idea of Bubbles dating Him, but he knew that she really loved him, and he couldn't do anything to upset her. Besides, he knew that if He stepped out of line, she would be more than capable of defending herself.

"Oh, um... It's going great" Bubbles replied honestly. Actually, things were going better than great. Although people had been skeptical at first, the citizens were now accustomed to seeing the blue puff out on a date with her demonic boyfriend.

"Good. And how about you, Buttercup?" the Professor turned to the green puff.

"Ace is the best boyfriend ever!" Buttercup gushed, and while she babbled on and on about her recent date with the green-skinned male, Bubbles was back in her own thoughts.

Bubbles knew that Him wouldn't kid about something so serious, especially to her. So that just left the main question...

Did Blossom feel the same?

Although Blossom had earlier explained how she had no feelings for anyone at the moment, Bubbles quickly remembered something that a new girl in school had told her, right before she began dating Him.

Flashback

Bubbles gathered her books, and headed out the door, going straight towards her locker. She saw that Tamry, the new girl in school was already at the locker to the right of hers.

"Hi Tamry! You didn't get lost today, did you?" Bubbles joked as she put in her combination. Tamry giggled.

"Nope, I actually made it to all my classes. I'm kinda shocked about it myself" she answered. Tamry glanced at the blonde out of the corner of her eye.

"Bubbles, can I ask you something?" she asked after a few moments. Bubbles glanced at her, and saw that Tamry seemed nervous.

"Sure, anything" the blue puff responded cautiously. She and Tamry closed their lockers in sync, and began to walk to the stairs.

"Well... Since you're a superhero, I guess you're the best person to ask... Can a villain and a hero fall in love?" Tamry inquired anxiously. Bubbles froze. Tamry winced.

Bubbles just stood there for a moment in shock, but soon looked to the ground in shame.

"I know for a fact that a hero can love a villain... But I don't know if the villain can feel the same" she whispered, just barely heard over the noise of the school buses outside. Tamry stared at her for a moment.

"Bubbles... If there's one thing I've learned over the years..." she finally began to speak, placing a hand on Bubbles' shoulder.

"It's that... If one person falls for someone who is basically forbidden to them, then chances are that the other person can just as easily feel the same"

Bubbles glanced up, smiling.

"Sometimes, they'll have to dig and dig, but eventually, deep down inside, there is at least a chance of reciprocated love" Tamry finished softly. Bubbles wiped her tears- when did she start crying?- and gave Tamry a hug.

End Flashback

Bubbles smiled softly. If Tamry could help her with Bubbles' own love problems...

"Professor? I need to make a phonecall"
