Alright, so thanks again for the reviews (getting closer and closer to 200 ^_^). And yeah, I know it was sad…but I PROMISE it gets better. And yeah, okay thanks Wildone97…it was a typo about the apology thing. I meant to ask if you had forgiven me, which you have. So thanks! :) Anyway, enjoy! Oh and btw, I never wrote that Butch died…you people assume a lot of things. *rolls eyes* Sigh…I have to write more of this now…I really hate killing people. Especially babies, I love babies. I want to have a bunch when I grow up (:


(BUTTERCUP POV)

Everything was in slow motion.

Butch's eyes fluttered closed, while Bliss' body grew colder and colder. I saw Brick and Boomer rush over to Butch, and pick him up. Blossom and Bubbles were back, with smiling faces that soon turned to frowns. Blossom rushed over to Butch, while Bubbles stood there…staring at Bliss.

I was looking down at my baby, tears strolling down my face. Him… He killed my baby, and probably my boyfriend.

Butch...he was more than a boyfriend to me. He had the same title, but he was more than just a simple boyfriend. He was like...a soul mate. But he was dying...and I couldn't do a single thing about it. If he left me, then I wouldn't have anything left.

My baby was already gone, I knew that. Her once beautiful creamy skin, was now pale and cold. Her eyes that once opened...were now empty, and shut closed. Her beautiful raven locks that used to shimmer in the light, was now nothing more than black strands of hair. They wouldn't have looked any different if I had drawn them with a black marker.

Suddenly, everything that I was ecstatic about earlier…was gone.

I was empty.


(BUBBLES POV)

I saw Butch, and almost ran to him. But that was before I saw Buttercup.

For a moment I couldn't tell what she was doing. But then I saw her holding Bliss, crying.

I didn't know why she was, until I saw Bliss' once green blanket…now scarlet.

I walked over to Buttercup, and fell down on my knees. I saw Bliss' neck slit, with red blood still oozing out.

Buttercup was shaking, while clear, salty tears dripped onto her baby's blanket.

I looked at her, and saw that her head was facing down, with her raven black hair falling in her face.

Then she looked up at me.

Black hair was matted to her face from the tears that spilled. Her nose was pink, and her face was pale. She had circles forming under her eyes, making her look like she was aging rapidly. Her emerald green eyes were filled with hatred, making her look like a….like a…monster.

It was like she was bloodthirsty, ready for her next victim.

And I was scared.

For her.


(BRICK POV)

"You did everything you could," Blossom told me.

"But was it enough?" I asked looking her in the eyes.

She leaned down, and kissed me, "We'll see."

She walked away, probably to help Buttercup. By the looks of things, Buttercup was going to need all the help she could get.

I glanced to the lab door, to see my raven haired brother lying on the bed with millions of tubes going through him. I did everything I could possibly think of, but I doubt it was enough. The Professor was out at some science convention, and Dad was out getting banana bread or something…so they weren't any help. Blossom was there, but she knew about as much as I did.

I wasn't sure Butch was going to make it.

"Alright I'm back…what has been going on?" I heard Dad say as he came into the room.

He saw me, "Brick? What is the-"

He cut off, when he saw Butch.

He looked at me quickly, dropping his grocery bag full of bananas.

"Butch was extremely unstable, but forced himself to fight Him," I said. "Because Him killed Bliss…"

Dad's mouth was open, "He…killed Bliss?"

I nodded, "Buttercup's not taking any of this too well…"

"Is Butch…alright?" he managed to get out, though his voice was rough.

I looked at him, "He's hanging on."

Mojo nodded, and picked up his bags, "I'll check on him in a minute."

I nodded.


(BUTTERCUP POV)

Nothing mattered anymore.

Nothing, except Him dying.


(MOJO POV)

My son...dying.

I had to save him.

Now.

I did the one thing I could think of, and if anyone had seen me doing it...they would have killed me.

I had to kill him.


(BUTTERCUP POV)

Butch wasn't dead yet...I would have heard his monitor stop from the floor below me. I was listening very carefully, and nothing had changed in the past two hours.

That is...until it did change.

His heart...

Stopped beating.

I flew downstairs, and into the lab faster than I'd ever flown anywhere before. Mojo was leaning over Butch, with an empty bottle of Antidote X.


(MOJO POV)

I saw Buttercup fly in, and she looked like she was about to murder me.

"I'm about to save him," I said. "Now will you help me?"

She nodded slowly, "B-but what did you do?"

"I killed him...to stop the imbalance," I said. "But if I can bring him back if we hurry. I've done this before..."

"With who?" she asked.

I looked up, "Brick."


(BUTTERCUP POV)

Mojo could bring him back...after killing him.

Yeah, I totally see a knuckle sandwich in his future.


(MOJO POV)

I stuck multiple needles into his arms, and shot galons of chemical X in his system.

"He was imbalanced, from an overdose of chemical X," Buttercup choked out. "How is this going to help?"

"Too much escaped his system, his body went in overdrive," I said. "So he is pretty much empty when it comes to chemical X. Until now..."

She nodded.


(BUTCH POV)

I shot up in the bed, and heard my heart monitor going insane.

"BUTCH!" I heard Dad yell. "CALM DOWN!"

I couldn't calm down…not with what Him did to my baby.

I ripped the tubes that were attached to my skin off, and got out of the bed.

"Butch please!" Dad yelled grabbing my wrist.

"I CAN'T!" I yelled. "I'M FINE! JUST LET ME GO!"

He shook his head, "Calm down…"

I growled, pulling away…and started to walk out.

That's when I froze.

"Stop."

I turned to my left, and saw Buttercup standing there.

She was obviously upset for many reasons.

Her hair was a mess; her face was pale, eyes bloodshot, nose red; she was altogether…a disaster.

I stared at her, extremely angry. But not at her.

We stared each other down, waiting for the other to give in (though everyone knows NEITHER of us EVER give in). Then she did something unexpected.

She grabbed the collar of my shirt, and then pushed me smack into the wall.

I couldn't fight her off, and not because she was too strong. In fact, she seemed extremely weaker than normal. But I wouldn't fight her off.

She glared at me, "Give me one reason not to hit you right now."

"You love me," I said simply.

"HOW CAN I LOVE YOU AFTER EVERYTHING YOU'VE PUT ME THROUGH?" she screamed at me. "I'VE BEEN RAPED MULTIPLE TIMES, I HAD A BABY IN ONE WEEK, AND WATCHED IT DIE! AFTER EVERYTHING YOU'VE PUT ME THROUGH THE PAST FEW MONTHS, BUTCH, HOW CAN I LOVE YOU?"

I realized now, she wasn't angry with me. She was just letting everything out.

She was shaking all over, tears started to escape her eyes.

I grabbed her by the waist, and pulled her into a hug, "I'm sorry Buttercup…I really am."

She burst into bitter tears, hugging me closer to her.

"I'm going to kill that bastard if it's the last thing I do," I said. "I won't let him get away again."

She looked up, "I-I'm sorry…I d-didn't mean…"

He kissed her, "I know."

"I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too," I said.


Alright, this was a little bit boring…but it was a needed chapter. Every chapter is needed. :) I promise the next one will be better. REVIEW! Love you my lovely lemon drops! I'll try to update soon, but ya know…I kind of randomly get on the computer. And I have church tomorrow, which will take up a lot of my day. So anyway, PEACE!
