Chapter 3: Birthday Awakening
The next day, many people of Townsville are at the Utonium house to celebrate Blossom and Buttercup's birthday. Everyone is in the backyard doing anything that is expected in a birthday party, except there are news reporters as well. They always come during the girls' birthday.
Blossom and Buttercup are doing stuff with their friends. Buttercup and the Derby Tantes are practicing death ball for their tournament which is coming up too. Blossom and the girls are looking at books, and getting the telescope ready for tonight.
Buttercup shouts, "Hey May Lin, catch!"
Buttercup throws the ball, and May Lin uses her head to hit it.
"Nice job, Butt-Lin," May Lin says.
"Thanks," Buttercup says.
Buttercup and her friends continue to okay the game as they practice. Blossom and her friends are looking at books about stars and getting the telescope ready for tonight because there is a special event happening.
"I can't wait until the meteor shower tonight,"the girl wearing sunglasses says.
"I know. I've been studying them for days. I can't wait to see the real thing. Of course, Buttercup and I have come across a few meteorites crashing to earth," Blossom says.
"Yeah. But I'm glad these meteors won't be crashing down on us again," the girl with the dark curly hair says.
"You can say that again," Robin adds.
Just then, May Lin hits the side of the table causing a bit of a crashing sound and the girls yelp or screams in response.
May Lin turns her head, and says, "Sorry about that. Didn't disrupt the eggheads, did I?"
"We are not eggheads. We're well read and educated," Blossom sternly replies, while the others crosses their arms.
"Still eggheads," Buttercup remarks.
"Come on Buttercup, even you guys are excited for the meteor shower tonight," Blossom replies.
Yeah. But not much of a reader," Buttercup says.
Blossom turns to the others, and mutters, "And Buttercup wonders why she only 3 C's, 2 D's, and 1 F in school this semester."
"I heard that!" Buttercup yells in anger.
Just then, the girls hear the professor calling out, "Okay kids, it's time to play some party games."
Hearing that the games are going to start, the kids head on over to the professor who is standing next to the big tree in the yard.
"So professor, what are we gonna do first?" Buttercup asks.
"We're going to start by playing with the pinata," The professor says, holding the baseball.
Buttercup happily shouts, "Alright! I'm going first!"
Buttercup takes the bat from the professor, and goes to the three where the pinata is. The pinata is pink, with light blue and light green cones to form a star.
Buttercup is about ready to whack it, but the professor sternly says, "Buttercup!"
"Oh man," Buttercup slouches in disappointment.
"Come on buttercup, you know that you end up sending the pinata to orbit like last time," Blossom says.
"That was last year," Buttercup pouts.
"In any case, I think your party guest should go first," The professor advise.
"Alright," Buttercup says.
She then walk to May Lin, and says, "Here May Lin, you can go first."
"Sure," May Lin says, taking the bat.
Buttercup grab hold of the rope holding the pinata and lift it into the air. Blossom ties a blindfold over May Lin's eyes and spin her around. Soon, May Lin begins to do her best to knock the candy and goodies out of the pinata. May Lin manages to get a few hits, but only manage to get tiny pieces of candy out. Soon, it's Bobby Suser Ray Lin's turns. Everyone take turns hitting the pinata and each manage to knock the candy out of the pinata. Buttercup hit the pinata too, but Blossom makes sure Buttercup doesn't hit it that hard.
After that, everyone are sitting at the table with Blossom and Buttercup sitting on one side with their birthday cake. Soon as they blow out the candles, the professor cut the cake and pass each piece to the guests. Of course, the girls get the first piece. Soon, everyone begin to have their lunch along with the cake for desert.
May Lin says, "That was a great party so far. I can't wait till we continue playing."
"Yeah. I am so going to crush you," Buttercup says.
"Not if I crush you first," May Lin remarks.
The two begin to look at each other with competitive looks on their faces.
Blossom rolls her eyes, here we go again.
Buttercup gets up, and says, "After we eat will play death ball in two teams."
"You're on!" May Lin says with a grin on her face.
After finish eating, and opening their presents. Blossom, Buttercup, and their friends are playing at the front yard. Buttercup and the Derby Tantes continue to play and practice death ball for their upcoming game. Meanwhile Blossom and the others are doing quiet activities. Buttercup and the Tants are laughing, and playing so loud and hard, that it can be heard for miles.
In her bedroom, The girl knows as Bubbles is in a coma with machines connected to her checking on her blood pressure and pulses. Just then, Bubbles arm begin to move, and her eyes begin to struggle as she begins to open them. After opening her eyes, she lifts her arm as she turn her arms around. Taking deep breaths, Bubbles begins sit up, and the connectors falls off as she gets up. She then begins to have her feet on the floor and slowly begin to walk.
Outside, Buttercup and the Derby Tantes are playing a game of death ball on roller skates at the front yard. The girls are having a great time playing the game. Blossom and some of the girls are doing some reading and other crafting. Soon Buttercup and the Derby Tantes stop playing.
May Lin says, "That was an awesome game. All of this is making me thirsty."
"Me too. I'm going to get something to drink. Any takers?" Buttercup says.
"Me!" The other Tantes and Blossom's friends shout.
Blossom gets up, and says, "I'll help you Buttercup."
Soon the two sisters head to the backyard to get some drinks for everyone. Of course, they use the side entrance to get to the backyard. Everyone else sit down so they can relax. Just then, the door opens to reveal a girl around thirteen, with blue eyes, and blonde hair. She is wearing a blue nightgown with long sleeves.
At the backyard, Blossom and Buttercup are getting the drinks for themselves and for their friends.
Before they can head back, the professor calls out, "Buttercup, can you help me out here?!"
"Sure," Buttercup answers.
Then Blossom says, "I'll bring over some of the drinks."
Buttercup nods her head and gives Blossom some of the drinks. Then Blossom takes the cans and bottles to the others.
At the front yard, May Lin and the others are looking at the girl with confused looks on their faces.
"Hey kid, what brings you here?" May Lin asks.
"We're sorry if we make any noise here," Jay Lin adds.
Bubbles becomes a little nervous, and unsure about talking to them. She has trouble finding a way to speak to them.
"Um… Uh… P-p-pla… Pla… Play…" Bubbles manages to says.
Everyone becomes a bit confused to hear Bubbles having trouble speaking.
"Play ca-ca-can… I, play… Can I play wit-wit… Bubbles adds, trying to speak.
As Bubbles tries to speak. Zoey Kings is cleaning up her yard, when she notices the conversation. She becomes surprised and stop what she is doing. May Lin and the others are looking at each other with confused look. Seeing what is going on, Zoey Kings gasp in shock.
Bubbles smiles, and says, "Can… Can I… Play with you… On your.. Your…. Game."
May Lin and the others look at the new comer with confused looks on their faces.
"What's up with her?" Jay Lin says.
"I have no idea," May Lin answers.
Then Bob Lin says, "She's a little weird thought, but does seem rather nice."
Bubbles looks at the young teens with confused looks, and wonder what they're talking about.
Just then, they hear loud clattering and tapping sound of glass hit the grass. Everyone turns to the source of the noise. They look to see Blossom in front of the cans and bottles that has fallen from her arms, and is showing shocked look on her face.
Blossom manages to say, "Bu… Bubbles…"
Blossom is still stunned to see who is with the others. She then takes a step forward in shock.
Blossom smiles and begin to shed a few tears from her eyes, "You finally woke up."
"Bubbles!" Blossom cries out as she runs to Bubbles.
Bubbles becomes surprised to see the new girl running towards her with tears coming down her face.
Blossom reaches Bubbles as she continues to cry out, "Bubbles… Bubbles…"
Then Blossom gives her sister a big hug and continues crying.
At that moment, Bubbles realizes who this girl is, "B-Blo… Blossom…"
Bubbles then begin to look at Blossom, "Blossom… I'm… I'm so glad to see you."
Bubbles become happy and gives Blossom a big hug. Blossom continues to cry with a smile on her face.
May Lin and the others are looking rather confused as to what is going on.
May Lin asks, "Hey Blossom, mind telling us who this girl is?"
Blossom looks at the girls as she leaves Bubbles' embrace. She wipes the tears from her face.
After calming down, Blossom answers, "Girls, this is my sister… Bubbles."
"Bubbles? I think I remember Buttercup telling us about her," Jay Lin replies.
"Yeah. And I'm very happy to see she has finally wake up," Blossom says.
"Uh, um, Blossom… wha-what do you mean b-b-by… wa-wake up," Bubbles asks, still a bit out of practice with speaking.
Before Blossom can explain, Buttercup comes in, and says, "Hey Blossom, guys, I'm back! So let's continue with our…"
Buttercup walks to the group, but stops in her tracks to see someone is with them.
Seeing who the girl is, Buttercup shockley says in a quiet tone, "Bubbles… is… is that you?"
"Bu-buttercup…" Bubbles question in a quiet tone.
Blossom calmly speaks up, "Yes Buttercup, it is Bubbles."
Buttercup eyes actually begins to water shows a smile on her face. Then gives Bubbles a big hug on the head, and trying her best not to cry. Blossom then hugs Bubbles as well. Bubbles has no clue what is going on, but is glad to be with her sisters again.
