Author's Note: Bubsie isn't exactly the most descriptive. She doesn't have the best vocabulary, so I tried my best. It was a bit challenging to write narration with limited language, but I did it.
War Against The Chemically Created
Chapter 3 – Chemicals Are Thicker Than Water
-This chapter is in the perspective of Bubsie-
I think it was a week ago when I taked away my leg. I taked it away 'cause of the hurts. It hurted so bad… it was sick, too. Bliss said the leg was very very sick. Something called "infected".
I've just been floating around now. But floating around makes me tired. It takes away my energies. Sometimes Porter has to carry me. 'Cause of when I get tired.
--
I think something's wrong with Bunny. I remember when I got borned, I could talk after a week. So could Blossom and Buttercup. Bliss told me she also did when she got borned a long time ago. But Bunny still isn't talking.
"Hey Porter?" I asked him.
"Yes, my little cookie?" I like when Porter calls me a cookie. It means he loves me.
"How come Bunny isn't talking yet? And why is she so big, and why doesn't she understand when I tell her things… is something wrong with her? Is she okay??" I said all that 'cause I wanted to know about if Bunny was okay…
Porter was quiet for a tiny bit but then he talked and said "I think Bunny's a bit different from the rest of you girls."
"What do you mean?" I didn't understand.
"Bubsie, honey, you know how you don't have a leg anymore?" he said to me.
"Oh, 'cause I taked it off?"
"Yes, honey… because you took it off. That's called a disability. When something in your body doesn't work right or isn't there. Your leg isn't there, you have a leg disability."
I didn't understand. "What's this gotta do with Bunny, Porter?"
Porter was quiet again. Sometimes when I get quiet when I talk, it's because I'm thinking. So I think he's thinking.
"Sweetie, I think Bunny might have a disability in her brain. Her brain doesn't work right. I mean, she's not even a year old yet, but all you other girls developed so fast, so I assume that's normal for mutants… Bunny's lagging behind."
I didn't understand. "Why does Bunny have a brain disability?"
"I… I don't know, honey. I don't know…" there was tears on his eyes, and I didn't understand why he was sad.
"Why are you crying Porter?"
"I just… I don't understand why this is all happening, baby… I just… I love Bunny, the same as I love all you girls, I don't want any of you to have to live like this. Isn't this stupid anti-mutant stuff enough!?" I was sad too. I didn't like that Bunny had to go through this.
--
I was sleeping on the grass. I was in a forest, and Buttercup was next to me. Except… I couldn't sleep.
"Buttercup…?" I said to her.
"…what Bubsie. What could you possibly want now." I don't think Buttercup likes me.
"How long until we go home?"
"Bubbles." Buttercup said my full name. She does that when she's mad at me. She gets mad at me a lot. She doesn't like me. "for the last god damn time, we can't go home ever." She sweared at me too. She sweared at me a lot.
"Buttercup, why do you think we can't go home?"
"Why do I think!? Why do I think!?!? Hmmmmm lemme think about why I think! Hmmm!! I sure fucking wonder! I WONDER!!!"
"I wonder too, Buttercup."
"…you fucking idiot." That was really mean of Buttercup. But it was normal that she said stuff like that to me. She doesn't like me. "Are you actually fucking stupid. Humans hate us. They want us to die. We can't go home. There's pretty much nowhere we can go. You and I, Bubs, we're five years old. Five years old and homeless. Five years old and wanted like prison men."
"I think that the humans will change their mind and remember how good we are." I said to Buttercup. "I think that the humans are gonna love us, Butters! We'll find some who will! 'Cause not everyone is mean!"
"You really are an idiot." She doesn't like me. "You actually think that a human will ever like us."
"Porter likes us."
"He has to. He's basically our dad."
"He loves us…"
Buttercup started to cry. "I just don't see what could be loved about freaks like us. Nobody will ever love us."
"Porter loves us!!!"
" SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"
Buttercup yelled at me, but I hugged her 'cause she was crying a lot. I didn't want my sister to cry.
"GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!!" she pushed me off of her and then flew to a different tree to sleep with Blossom instead.
She really doesn't like me.
--
I waked up and I wasn't alone anymore. Bunny must've got waked by the yelling. She must've seen I was alone and came to sleep with me. I think she understands some things.
"Hi Bunny…" I said. I was sad when I said that.
Bunny looked at me. She picked me up and hugged me. She started to cry, probably 'cause she was said that I was sad.
"I love you, Bunny.." I said to her. I gave her a hug as she held me.
"…Bunny." Bunny said.
"…Bunny.. did you just.. talk!?"
"Bunny love…" Bunny was trying to talk for me!
"I love you too, Bunny.." I started to cry more. But it was happy cries. 'Cause my sister learned to talk. I didn't think she would ever talk.
--
It was such a long walk. I haven't eaten in a long time. Bliss carried me.
"Food!" Blossom said. 'Cause she saw food. It was some bushes with yummy fruits on them. Strawberries.
We runned to the strawberries. Well, except I can't do runs anymore. Bliss still carried me.
We eated so many strawberries! Except, Buttercup didn't eat any. She gived me all hers. I didn't understand why. I tried to give them back, but..
"Eat. Them."
"But-"
" Now."
So I eated them. I didn't wanna make her mad if I didn't eat them. I didn't understand why Buttercup was being so nice to me. I thought she didn't like me.
After I eated the strawberries, I went and layed on a rock somewhere. We were tired so we taked a break.
But I saw someone. She had yellow hair like me. She also had a big head and no hands like me.
She was like me…
I floated down and said hi. She looked a little scared but then she looked at me and walked to me.
She was looking at me a lot. I think she was trying to figure-out me.
She had green eyes too. It reminded me of Buttercup. Buttercup's eyes and my hair.
The girl gived me some strawberries, too. But she sounded hungry too. Her tummy was rumbling.
I tried to give them back but she gived them to me again. So I eated them. I didn't wanna make the girl mad. I didn't know if she would be mad like Buttercup or not.
"I caught one, Bundles!!" said a girl who came out of some water. She had blue eyes like me but black hair like Buttercup. "Hey.. who's that? And why does she look like us…?"
The girl from the water came out and she had a fish in her hands.
"So.. um.. who are you..?" the girl with black hair is shy I think. Shy like me sometimes.
"I'm Bubsie…" I said. "I met your friend here. She gived me strawberries."
"Bundles, again!? You need to remember that you also have to eat!" So the green eye one does this a lot I think? "Oh, uh, I'm Bud by the way. Bud Wupaz. And this is my sister Bundles."
So the black hair one is Bud and the yellow hair one is Bundles.
Bud said to me, "Hey… are you by chance… mutant? Like us..?"
"Y-yeah… I got maked with Chemical X."
"Bundles and I are made of Chemical C."
We keeped on talking about stuff. Until Bud asked me, "Hey Bubsie… you wanna stick with us? Us mutants gotta stick together…"
"Actually, I have a family of my own. Do you have one?"
"Nothing but Bundles… and we're just five, we can't live on our own."
"I think my daddy Porter can help you two."
--
"Of course you two can stay with us…"
Porter said that after Bud talked about the stuff with her and Bundles. She said it to Porter. There was a lot. Like how she and Bundles got something called "abandoned" after getting borned.
"Looks like the Utoniums are getting a little bit of Wupaz mixed in the bunch." Porter said that, and when he said it it made us all happy.
Also, I learned that Bundles has a disability too. She can't talk.
Buttercup was saying hi to our new sisters but then her tummy rumbled.
"Buttercup?"
"Yeah, sis?"
"Why didn't you eat the strawberries?"
