An Angel's Halo

Chapter 16: Have A Little Faith

Disclaimer: I will not ever own my childhood heroes, the Powerpuff Girls.

Butch sat up on the bed. "They're sending her to Hell right now?" Butch asked, horrified. Ravyn shook her head. "Not right now, I managed to pospone the ceremony. But I need you and Buttercup's sisters to come to the Heavens with me." Ravyn said. Butch looked at Ravyn with curious eyes. "Don't you have to be dead to go to the Heavens?" he asked. "Technically yes." Ravyn answered.

An image of Ravyn with a giant machete in her hands, cackling evilly popped up in Butch's mind. He gulped. Ravyn seeming to know what he was thinking face palmed. "I'm not going to kill you, you imbecile. I'm just going to extract the living part of you from your body." she explained. Butch seemed to calm down a bit when she said that. His eyes then narrowed. "Where you going to put it?" he asked.

"In this pouch." Ravyn answered, holding a silver pouch with an image of an hourglass on it.

"Let me hold it when you extract the living part of me in it."

"Do you really not trust me that much?"

"With my life? No."

"Gee I love you too Butch."

"I know right? I'm so lovable!"

"I was being sarcastic..."

"..."

"Okay standing here talking isn't going to do anything for Buttercup. Now lie back down and take off your shirt." Ravyn ordered. Butch looked at Ravyn with a freaked out expression. "Not like that! I need to locate your soul." Ravyn sighed. Butch nodded as he took off the black muscle shirt he was wearing and lied down on his bed. Ravyn put her hands on his chest. Butch shivered at her cold touch on his bare chest.

"Manufesto." Ravyn murmured as she closed her eyes. A faint green light revealed itself on Butch's chest, seeming to be inside his skin. "Is that supposed to be there?" Butch questioned, nervously. Ravyn opened one eye to glare at him. "Don't question my authority, I know what I'm doing." she said sharply. Butch obeyed the order.

"Iter." The green light traveled up Butch's esophagus and came out of his mouth. Ravyn opened the silver pouch and the sparkling, swirling forest green dust came into it. Butch watched as his living element left his body and sank into the silver pouch. He then took notice of the changes of his body. His skin was now pale rather than the tan he had. His body temperature seemed to have dropped to zero since his hands were as cold as Ravyn's. He walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He took note that around his pupils were white like Ravyn's and Buttercup's.

She grabbed Butch's hand and put the pouch in his hand. "Do not lose this." she said. Butch nodded. Ravyn turned and motioned Butch to follow. "We have to find Blossom and Bubbles." she said. Butch trailed after the Angel of Time. "Ravyn?" Butch asked. "Hmm?" Butch scratched the back of his neck. "What colour was Buttercup's live thingy?" he asked, curiously.

Ravyn stopped and chuckled. "Now that I think about it, hers was green as well. Lime green." She then walked out of the room. Butch grinned. "So we are meant to be together." he said to himself. Minutes later, Bubbles and Blossom were in his room. "So we need to go now?" Bubbles asked. Blossom face palmed. "No tomorrow Bubbles." she said. "But the trial is today." Bubbles said, confused. Everybody in the room face palmed at her naivety. Blossom then looked at Butch. "Butch! Suicide is never the answer!" she cried. Bubbles covered her mouth. "Butch took his own life to be with Buttercup! It's so romantic!" Bubbles teared up.

Butch face palmed. "I didn't commit suicide." he deadpanned. Blossom looked at him. "Then how are you... dead?" she asked. "I took the living element out of his body so he could come to the trial." Ravyn answered. The two sisters looked at her curiously but said no more. "Are you guys ready?" Ravyn asked. Everyone nodded. As the stepped onto the balcony Butch realized something. "Wait!" he said. Everybody looked at him.

"I don't know how to fly..."

...

...

...

...

...

...

"And here I thought is was something important." Blossom commented. Butch glared at her. "Well I'm sorry that I've only been dead for ten minutes and didn't learn how to fly." Butch retorted. "Blossom don't be mean." Bubbles scolded. Blossom scoffed. "All you have to do is think of a happy moment, spread your wings and fly." Bubbles explained, adding a little twirl at the end of her sentence. "Did you really have to make it sound like gumdrops and unicorns?" Butch asked. Bubbles shrugged. "As far-fetched as it might sound, that is how its done." Ravyn said. Butch face-palmed. "This is so girly." he groaned.

"Do it or you'll be left here with no way to insert your living form back into your body."

"Happy moment, happy moment, happy moment..."

Butch was thinking of the happiest moment of his life. Then he got. The day of the spring formal when he kissed Buttercup. That was the happiest moment of his life. He felt as his wings spread from his wings. He looked at the three angels in his room. Blossom and Bubbles looked surprised as Ravyn just smirked. "Just as I thought." The eldest angel said. "What do you mean by that?" Butch asked, not being able to see his wings. Blossom walked him to a mirror. "Look at your wings Butch." she told him. He looked at his wings and his forest green eyes widened. "They're the same as..." his voice watered up as he choked up.

Ravyn came over and laid her hands on his shoulders. "Buttercup's." she finished. She squeezed both of his shoulders. "But what I noticed is that your wings are the opposite. Your left one is black and the right one is black. Buttercup's left is white and her right is black. This shows that you two are two halves meant to be together. And no matter what the council says, you'll always have my blessing." Ravyn whispered to him, kissing his cheek in a motherly way. Butch sniffled and hugged Ravyn. She was like the mother he never had. Ravyn was shocked but hugged him back anyway.

"Alright Butch, we have to go. I can't stall the trial forever." Butch nodded. The four angels stood on the balcony and took off in the night sky to save the one person they all deeply cared about.

Buttercup stood in front of the council, waiting for Ravyn's return. Whatever "secret weapon" she had better be good. She didn't want to be sent... there. As she was thinking this a golden staircase appeared and one by one four angels emerged. Bubbles came up first, looking at Buttercup with such caring eyes. Blossom came next and she looked at Buttercup with her regular stoic eyes. But behind her stoic facade, Buttercup saw worry. The next thing surprised Buttercup the most. Butch was coming up the stairs and he was an angel just like the rest of them. Ravyn came up last and she looked at Buttercup with motherly eyes. She glared at the council.

"Alright I want them to be able to testify for Buttercup's defense." Ravyn demanded. She reminded Buttercup of an angry mother defending her kids. Her mouth twitched upward into a smile. "Why should we?" The council asked in the same demanding tone. "Because I'm older than all of you put together and you should respect your elders." Was Ravyn's comeback. The Council started to murmur among themselves. "Fine, they may testify, but that doesn't meant that we will change our minds about this... girl." The Head Angel replied. He said girl will such disgust, Buttercup cringed.

Then Buttercup brought her attention to Butch. Why was here? He didn't... Oh my gosh. Buttercup inwardly groaned. "Dammit Butch, didn't I tell you not to commit suicide in my note?" She scolded him as the angels began to set up the court. Butch face palmed. "Why does everyone think I committed suicide?" he whined to no one in particular. Buttercup didn't have a chance to answer since they had started the testimonies. Blossom was first.

"I understand that Buttercup was a bit of a rebel when we were alive. She got in trouble a lot. Sometimes with the police. But I don't think that you should hold that against her because we lost our parents at a young age by the same person who killed us. I think that was part of the reason that she was such a troublemaker when we were alive. I know that she lacked attention too. People hardly gave her as much attention as they gave Bubbles and I. We were practically showered with it as she was left in the dark." Buttercup started to see Blossom's eyes water. Blossom then looked at Buttercup and her pink eyes showed two strong emotions. Guilt and Regret. Blossom continued. "This caused her to do bad things to get attention. I wish I did something about when I could, but I didn't. I left her in the dark. I didn't want to get involved with such things. I wanted to keep my good girl reputation. But if I just did something before, even the day before we died, she probably wouldn't be in this predicament. We wouldn't be here right now. Shit," This was the first time Buttercup heard Blossom curse. The redhead on the stand was now crying waterfalls, but she kept her voice steady.

"We could still be alive right now. So if anything you should be sending me to Hell, not my sister Buttercup. Thank you for your time, and I hope you change your minds on where you're sending Buttercup." Blossom walked off the stand leaving the Court in silence. "Next is Bubbles Utonium." Bubbles who was crying because of Blossom's testimony walked to the stand.

"Wow. I have to say that I didn't expect that from my older sister Blossom. I don't think I can top that, but I have to agree with her. Blossom and I were showered with all the attention while Buttercup didn't get any. I wish that this didn't happen. Buttercup was such a nice person. When we were nine, I had a nightmare and she let me sleep with her in her bed. For our tenth birthday, she gave me my purple octopus that I named Octi. I remember when we first entered high school, she defended me from the bullies. Yeah Buttercup was a rebel and got into a lot of trouble. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. But her badness is equaled with her goodness. I think that is why her wings resulted in the way that they did. I don't think that you should punish her for it. So please, please don't send her there. Please." Bubbles wiped her eyes and walked to the stand.

"Butch Jojo."

Butch walked by Buttercup. They met each other's eyes. Butch gave her a reassuring smile. Buttercup gave more of a nervous one. "Hey everybody. Yeah I'm the one who fell in love Buttercup. But I have to say she is a good girl. I have to admit, when you guys first sent her to me, I thought she was a bitch." Buttercup glared at him and he gave out a nervous chuckle. "I mean she is a troublemaker, but that's her personality. But as you get to know her, the more she grows on you. She's like mushrooms, the warmer it gets the more they grow." Buttercup glared at him again. He sighed "Alright I'm not really good with words, but the bottom line is, is that you shouldn't send her to Hell. I mean sending her to Hell for falling in love is ridiculous. Falling in love is something that you can't avoid, as much as you try not to. I saw it in her eyes how hard she tried not to fall, but she fell anyway. Falling in love should be a blessing, it shouldn't be punished. I know that I never met someone like her, and I probably won't ever again. I don't know if I could live with myself knowing that she was in Hell because of me. So if you guys can find it in your hearts, even if you have to dig really, really, really, really, really, really, really-"

"Butch!" Buttercup yelled at him. He looked at her and smiled. "Yeah sorry. Really deep down to understand her, I don't think that you would send her to Hell, because nobody is that cruel. Besides serial killers, and murderers, and-"

"Butch!" Buttercup yelled again. Butch smirked. "Sorry off topic again. Thank you for your time." he said as he stepped down from the stand. He took his stand next to Buttercup. "Ravyn Madison, would you like to testify?" one of the announcers asked. Ravyn crossed her arms. "If I do, I'll end up cursing out the council." Ravyn stated. The announcer laughed nervously. "I guess I'll take that as a no." he said. The announcer then turned to the Council. "What is your decision now?"

The Council stayed silent. Buttercup was shaking. Butch noticed this and took Buttercup's hand in his. Buttercup looked at him. He nodded. She took a deep breath. Blossom and Bubbles were standing next to each other and they both stared intently at the council, awaiting an answer. Ravyn kept her cool demeanour but on the inside she was just as nervous as anyone.

The tension in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife. Ravyn, Blossom, and Bubbles were now standing around Buttercup and Butch. Ravyn stood in front of the group, as if she was guarding her young. She was staring the council down as she waited for the final answer.

"Our decision is..."

(Kitty Note: Aww you thought I was going to stop it there didn't you. Ha trolled ^_^.)

"Our decision is that you, Buttercup Utonium, will not be sent to Hell." The group took a second to process this, and when they did they cheered and jumped with joy. The group hugged Buttercup as she was crying with joy.

"In addition to this, we will abolish the black rule." This just made them happier. "Buttercup you're safe!" Blossom cried. Buttercup nodded. The middle child walked up to her older sister. "Blossom, what you said at the stand. That was-" Blossom cut off her sister with a hug. Buttercup's eyes widened as she heard her sister cry. "Buttercup I was so worried about you." the redhead whispered. "Buttercup, I love you so much. Don't scare me like this again." Blossom said. Buttercup slowly hugged her sister back. "I love you too Bloss." she whispered to her. A couple of seconds later, Blossom finally let her go. She smiled at her as she let Bubbles hug her. Bubbles practically glomped her.

"Oh Buttercup we were so scared. We didn't want you to be sent there. We're so happy that you're alright." Bubbles sobbed. Buttercup hugged her younger sister back. "I'm glad that I wan't sent there too Bubs." Bubbles squeezed her and finally let her go. Ravyn gave Buttercup a hug. "I am so glad that you're okay. Let's hope something like this doesn't happen again, alright?" Buttercup nodded. Ravyn stepped to the side and Butch was standing waiting for his turn. Butch picked her up and spun her around.

"I'm glad you're staying here in heaven." he said. Buttercup nodded. She gave Butch a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for being here for me." she told him. Butch smiled. "I'll do anything for you, I'm hopelessly in love with you, Buttercup Utonium." He gave her a kiss on the forehead. She laid her head on his chest. "And I'm hopelessly in love with you, Butch Jojo." she whispered to him. Butch put his hand under her chin and made her look at him. He leaned down and kissed her. Buttercup responded instantly. Ravyn smiled. "Now that's a love story." she said to herself. An arm snaked around her waist. "But not as good as ours." a male voice said to her. She smiled. "Not even close, Alexander." she said to him as Alexander brought his lips to hers.

The Head Angel cleared his throat. The couples ended their kiss. "The Utoniums are to stay in heaven for some classified business that requires three months time. Angel of Time you are to escort Mr. Jojo back to Earth. Then you are to report back here to initiate the process." he announced. Ravyn nodded. She gave Alexander one last kiss and headed towards the group of teenagers. She smiled at them, like she knew something they didn't. "Butch I need the pouch." she said. Butch handed the silver pouch to her. She opened it. She did a couple of hand signs and then said, "Dimmite."

The green element returned to Butch's body and he was turned back human. Through his eyes, the heavens were fading into golden dust. The only one staying the same was Ravyn. He looked at Buttercup, and then to Ravyn who nodded. He went and hugged Buttercup. "I'll miss you." he said to her. "I'll miss you too Butch." she said. He closed his eyes as he held her in his arms. He felt her fading away. "I love you..." Was the last thing she said to him before she completely faded away. When he opened his eyes, he was once again in his room with Ravyn. She smiled at him. "Don't worry, she'll be fine." Ravyn assured him. He nodded. She gave Butch one last hug. While she did, she slipped something in his hand. It was an hourglass.

"If you need anything, anything at all, just flip it and I'll come." she said. She chuckled to herself. "I kinda adopted the Utoniums and you as my children, so..." Butch cut her off with a hug. "Thank you... Mum." he wold Ravyn. The Angel's eyes widened. She closed her eyes as she hugged her 'child' back. "You're welcome son." she said. She kissed Butch's forehead. "If you need anything just flip it over." she repeated. Butch nodded. She stepped onto the balcony. "I'll see you in three months." she said to him as she flew into the dawn sky, back to the heavens. Butch watched her as his eyes watered. He finally knew what it felt like.

He finally knew what it felt like to have a mother.

Kitty Note: So I decided to make Ravyn a motherly figure towards the Puffs and Ruffs. I decided it made sense since I made her protective towards them. So tomorrow is my birthday so I won't be on at all and I might update again on Sunday to make up for the wait. Two more chapters after this. Sadness... but happiness cuz MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!

Also I am thinking about making a new Greens story called Karaoke. Here's the Summary.

Butch walks into a club to see a beautiful girl with a voice of an angel singing there. He finds out that the girl works there and performs everyday. Going there becomes an everyday routine as he starts to fall for the girl. But he doesn't even know her name. When he finds out who the girl is will he keep his feelings or will they fade?

Yeah so I might change the summary when I post it but I think it's a good idea. Tell me what you think! Should I post it or not. If you have any ideas for it be free to tell me them. So that's all the announcements. Peace out people!
