Chapter 3: More Than Meets The Eye
PRINCESS MOREBUCKS
God, I hate this dam school.
If daddy hadn't cut my spending I would be rid of this place and those lousy good for nothing Powerpuff.
I walked in the classroom and took my seat in the front row.
Nearly every seat in the classroom had been taken except for four. Three of those seats belong to the ever so good, Powerpuff Girls. The fourth belong to a new student, which no one knew who he was, only that it was a guy.
Blossom and Buttercup slowly walked in the door, with out Bubbles trailing behind them.
Did they ditch her?
Finally my chance to be a powerpuff girl!
Well, "Ahem" If I wanted to...Which I don't.
Blossom handed up a note to Ms. Keen. She quickly read the note and covered her mouth in horror.
What the hell did it say? Where they being transferred? Did they have to repeat a class?
God dammit why don't I wait to find out?
Because I'm impatience, that's why.
She looked at Blossom and Buttercup and said, "This quite unfortinate." The nodded sadly and took their seats.
What was unfortinutate? And where the hell is their dumbell of a sister? She should have been here by now.
Ms. Keen stood up and said, "Please come down everyone. I have a importiant announcement."
I rolled my eyes and said, "Oh please what could be so..."
Ms. Keen interupted me and said, "As you know we have a new student coming in today, but he will be acting as a student and an special aid."
Special aid? Does this mean another wheelchair kid or something? This would be interesting.
I maybe a villain but, I don't mess with disabled people. That's my rule no matter the circumstance.
She turned to the door and said, "You two may come in now."
I looked to the door and heard the click of a stick running across the wooden floors.
A boy came in first. He was tall, pale, had black hair that ran in this weird spike, he wore a blue t-shirt with a blank smiley face on it, and a long black trench coat. He had a pair of glasses that covered his deep hazel eyes.
Oh my god. He is so hot! I can't belive we actually got a hottie in class!
He looked out the door and said, "It's ok Bubbles. There nothing to your way."
Bubbles? Why the hell would that hunk being helping that freak of nature.
She's nothing special in comparison to me.
A tip of a stick hit the door and made a loud clank.
It swung back and forth until...
Oh dear god...
I couldn't belive my own eyes.
There standing before the class was Bubbles.
She wore a pasty blue dress. Her usual pigtalls had been taken down letting her wispy blond hair fall in front of her face. She held a long white stick with bits of red tape on it and a strap that wrapped around her wrist. In her other hand she carried a book with little bumps on it.
But what disturbed me the most was her eyes. Her light blue eyes that was almost always filled with cheer, had turn grey and dull. They seemed so lifeless.
Ms. Keen looked at the class and said, "As you can see, Bubbles had an insident and lost her abilty to see, and has been blind for nearly three months now."
The classroom gasped.
I can't belive it...She's blind.
It doesn't even seem possible after all the fights we had.
My god...
Ms. Keen continued, "This young man is Dib Membrane, son of Professor Membrane, and our new student. Like I said, he with be acting as an aid for Bubbles because he knows how to read brail."
I just could take my eyes away from Bubbles as she stared into complete nothingness.
She really can't see...
It just doesn't settle right with me, I mean she blind!
How the hell does she of all people go blind?!
Bubbles looked up and said in her quite and wispy voice, "It very good to hear from you all again. I know this is a diffcult change, espeacilly for me. I just hope, you can see me for me, not my disability."
Ms. Keen said, "Bubbles you will have the the second to last desk in the front row, Dib will sit in the desk next to you."
Bubbles nodded and said, " I'm sorry but which way to my desk?"
Dib moved her stick in the right direction.
She smiled and said, "Thank you."
She clicked her stick in the direction of the last desk. She slid across until she heard three clicks.
She placed her book on the top of desk and sat down.
She was in the seat right next to me.
This...this is impossible...
My god, I can't even look at her in the same way.
What the hell happend to her?
Ms. Keen turned to Dib and said, "Why don't you tell the class something about yourself Dib?"
He nodded and said in his raspy voice, "Well besides what you already told them, I am very intersted into the paranormal and supernatural."
The class remained quite. They must still be in the state I'm in.
They just found out that one of their life long classmates and local superhero has lost her sight.
Ms. Keen nodded and said, "Go ahead and take your seat."
The boy walked up to the desk and sat down.
I looked at Robin who was standing in line with me and said, "It's still unbelievable."
She nodded and said, "Yeah, I know what you mean. They seem invincable, but when you see Bubbles like that it just boggles the mind."
I looked at the table where, Blossom and Buttercup sat on one side, while Bubbles, Dib, and some other girl with purple hair sat.
I nudged at Robin and asked, "Who's the girl with purple hair?"
She looked at her and said, "That's Gaz Membrane, Dib's little sister. One of the teachers got on to her for playing a video game, and she gave him a glare and said, that she would send him to a nightmare world from no return if he was to ever mess with her GS2."
I looked back a the girl who was contently playing her game.
My eyes drifted back to the girls who were eating in complete silence.
I can't take much more of this.
I stepped out of the line pulled out my phone an call my driver.
Robin looked at me and asked, "Where are you going?"
I looked at her and said, "Out. I can't be here right now."
I walked out of the cafiteria and make my way to the exit.
My driver opened the car door and said, "Were are we going Miss?"
I looked at him and said, "Mojo's lair. I need to talk to him and the rest of the main villains." The driver nodded and said, "As always you will find your supersuit underneath the seat. I will make the calls as we drive."
I nodded and he closed the door.
I quickly pulled out my super suit and put it on.
The gold bullet proof dress, edged into the natural curves of my body.
The long black rocket boots, went up to my knees.
My laser gloves were a little snug, soon I will need to replace them.
For the final touch, I put on my singature crown.
The vehicle stopped and the driver got out of the car.
He opened the door and he said, "The major villains have been notified and shall be arriving momentarily."
I nodded and began to made my way up the steps of Mojo's volcano lair.
The group of villains sat around the table, talking amongst themselves.
It was quite an impressive turn out on short notice.
There was Mojo (obviously), Him, The Rowdyruff boys, Fuzzy Lumpkin, Sedusa, and Gang Green Gang.
There was one I did not know. He wore a dark hood with holes for his antenna, his hands were cover with black gloves, but I looked closer I noticed he only had three fingers. He remained fairly quite and sat next to Mojo.
I yelled out, "SHUT THE HELL UP EVERYONE!"
They all turned their attention to me.
I nodded and said, "Now down to bussiness. Who was last to fight the Powerpuff girls?"
Ace lifted his hand and said, "We did, last week in fact."
I looked at them and said, "Was Bubbles with them?"
Ace looked at me and said, "No, which is really weird now that I think about it..."
I sighed and said, "Today in class, I found out something completely shocking. I still can't wrap my head around it."
Him smiled and said, "Well then, SPIT IT OUT! We are all waiting for your reply. "
I looked up solemly and said, "Bubbles can't see... Not anymore."
The complete look of shock came from everyone in the room, except Mojo and the hooded stranger. They remained emotionless.
Him said in disbelif, "Well let just see about that."
He waved his claw in the center of the table and a portal appeared.
Him laughed and said, "Let us see and let it be, if we find out the girl can't see."
An image appeared of Bubbles and Dib walking on the sidewalk.
Bubbles is holding her cane tapping it along the sidewalk.
Dib held his arm in front of her and said, "Lights red."
A bunch of cars zoomed across the street.
She laughed and said, "Well that's helpful, can't they make a talking one instead. I mean how am I suppose to know?"
She waved her hand in front of her face.
Dib smiled and said, "Well, it would help sightless pedestrians."
She smiled and said without looking away, "You mean me?"
He gave a small giggle.
She laughed and said, "I maybe blind, but I still am superstrong, don't forget that. Unless you want me to punch you in the arm."
He waved his hand and said, "No, I know my place."
The light turned green and the two walked off.
The portal fizzled away and Him stepped back in shock.
The hooded stranger looked at Mojo and said in a weird high pitched voice, "Your plan worked a little to well earth monkey. She was meant to be immobilized for minutes without sight, but it appears to be permanent."
"The Dib-Monster being here too won't help our plans either, he always plotting against me."
The group turned to the two. Mojo smiled and said, "I see you have caught me and my assoicate red handed."
I looked at them and asked, "You two blinded Bubbles?"
They nodded and Mojo said, "I actually did it three months ago after our friend here supplied me with his advanced technology. I'm actually quite suprise they hadn't gone public with it till now."
Him looked at the stranger and asked, "And may I asked who the hell this is? He seems to know something we all don't."
The stranger held a laser pistol up to Him's face and said, "Gladly, just as soon as you get fuck out of my face."
Him backed up and made his way to the other side of the table.
He placed the pistol on the table and took off his hood.
There sitting next to Mojo was a green alien with bright red eyes and nearly as tall as me.
He wore pink clothes and a backpack that looked like a metal ladybug.
He smiled revealing his fanged teeth and said, "I'm Invader Zim of the Irken Empire, and I have an agreement no one here will want to refuse."
