The City of Townsville is having another cleaning day. People around the city wiping their trophies, cleaning their house, and cleaning their attitude.
For today, they are cleaning their homes. And we see Bix with his family cleaning out their attic.
"Whoa, so this is an attic" Bix said wonderment
"Yep, this is where our junk gets stored" Blossom said
"Hey it's not junk! These are all our memories are stored" Bubbles correct her
"Either way, we gotta throw away something" Buttercup added while looking around the boxes while she was looking, spotted her green blanket and pocketed it.
"Yeah, what are we actually doing here professor?" Bunny asked
"Well, I would like Bix to see our memories but Sara suggested that we also would clean out some items while we were at it"
"That's a great idea" Bubbles said with enthusiasm
"That would be a great motivator for him" Blossom commented
"Or crush him" Buttercup retorts
"It's a possibility but let's not think negatively about this"
"Alright, with that out the way, let's show mine first" the Professor said as he walks to his chest with others following along
He stops at a large colorful chest with a sun and trains on a grass field. He opens it to see a bunch of toys. Bliss picks up Bix and sees all the toys that Professor had but some toys caught Bix's attention.
Three damp green soliders, rusted planes, and rusted jacks with small slings beside it.
"These are my toys when I was child and I've been meaning to throw some away"
"Are those one of them?" He asked while pointing to the damp toys
"Yes, those are one of them"
"What happened to them?" He asked
"Well, Buttercup spilt some chemical x while playing and made them come alive." Blossom explained
"Accidentally" Buttercup bitterly corrected
"And attacked us with those jacks."
"We splash some water and they return to normal" Bubbles explains further
"That is so cool!" Bix said with excitement
"Well there are a lot here with our crazy heroics and adventures. We'll tell you if you want" said Bliss
He jumps with joy in Bliss' arm which causes everyone except Buttercup who smirks instead to giggle.
"If you're that excited then hopping down and follow me. I got some cool things to show ya" Buttercup said
Bix hops down to Bliss' arms and follows Buttercup.
"While she shows him some of her stuff, let's clean up some muck on some corners and also fix up some of the holes while you're at it"
Everyone nodded in agreement and split up to clean up the muck in the attic. Back to Buttercup, they stopped at a box uninspired named Buttercup's Stuff. She opens up the lid and asortment of stuff ranging to a jar of teeth, a small coin, a small green dress, a bottle of glowing glue, and lastly a picture frame of her and an old person with a red and orange monk gown.
"Ohhhh, a jar of teeth" he said while picking up the jar "what happened"
Buttercup scratches her head in embarrassment and thinks of a way to make this a not embarrassing moment.
"Ohh uhhh, i-i uhhh w-work for a dentist" she lies
"And they let you keep other people's teeth? That's cool!" He said with enthusiasm
"Phew, you're really excited by a lot of things don'tcha?" She commented while ruffling his hat
"I wanna know your stories. I've missed a lot of you guys being heroes and stuff."
"Well I could tell about mine but it takes days upon days to say even a small part of it." She arrogantly told him which caused him to be more excited
/Crap he wasn't supposed to be excited. Looks I'm gonna Bs a bit even if the white thing pops up again/ Buttercup thought
"If ya want, when I have some time off school"
"Alright!" He said with a big smile on his face
Buttercup smiled a bit at his enthusiasm and continues to explain some of the items except one.
Bix notices it and picks up the frame and looks at it with a curious gaze.
"Who's this?" He asked while pointing to the old man.
"Oh...him...his uhhhh my mentor..."
"Mentor? For fighting or inte-inteli-inteligg...Smart" he said
"Nothing like that. He's more...on emotions...but he did teach me to fight too"
"Whoa! I wanna meet him" he said in wonderment
"O-oh...w-well, some other time" she hesitated to say
"Yay!" He said with excitement.
Bix continued to learn about this Buttercup exaggerated telling of her adventures from the past.
He moved next to Bubbles, who is excited to show him a bunch of her memories.
"Okay, this is my box of memories!" Bubbles excitedly said as she drags a big box with colorful decoration.
She opens up the box and it is filled with what seems like random items but one caught Bix's eyes is a dirty purple octopus with a top hat.
"Let's start with this yoyo, I remember when I had it. When I was a little girl, the story was super cute." She said
Then she went on a story about how she got the yoyo but she goes into tangents when she got into another story which Bix was confused and bored at her constant change of stories. While she was talking, he grabbed the purple octopus and inspected it.
"Oh hey, it's Octi" she points out
"Octi?"
"He was my friend when I was a kid."
"Toys can be friends?" He asked
"Of course, anyone can be your friend if you're nice enough but remember that not everyone can be your friend."
"Really? Even the mean ones?"
"Well, there can be exceptions."
"That's kinda confusing" Bix lost on what she meant
"You'll know when you get to be strong and start to help us with more crime fighting!"
"Are you sure? Then why not befriend the mean ones too?" He doubted
"Like I said, not everyone can be your friends. For now, let me tell you about this one." She said and pointed out an item on the last part.
After what feels like hours, he moved on to Blossom who has just a small box. Bix noticed that Blossom is tried from the nodding she been doing.
Bix taps her thigh and snaps her awake.
"Sorry" she groggily said
She slaps her wake which causes her to be energized a bit.
"Alrighty brother, this is a special occasion, well at least for me" Blossom said
"Being in an attic s' a special occasion?" He asked curiously
"Yes because this is a special item that is near and dear to my heart and also where this keeps it safe" she over exaggerates while at the last part spreads her arms around.
Blossom coughs the daintily places her hands on the side of the lid. She then slowly lifts the lid until it reveals a small red bow.
"A bow?"
"Not just any bow, it's a bow that symbolizes being a leader." She told him
"Really?"
"Yep, this piece of history has been through a lot, Buttercup even used it."
"Buttercup used it? Is it really important?"
"Well...for me it is, this was kinda my only identity when I was a kid." She said with a hint of sadness
Bix's head tilts in confusion as to why Blossom became sad. He places his hand stub on her thigh which caught her by surprise.
"It's okay, you'll always be someone for me " he reassures with a grin on his face.
Blossom only stared at her with a single tear on each of her tired eyes. She then grabs him and hugs him tightly.
Bix was about to say something but he let the moment ride as he hugged her back.
He put down Bix and wipes the tears on her eyes.
"Is something wrong? Why were you crying?" He asked
"*Sigh*...it's just...been a mess"
"What is?"
"Before you were here...it was horrible... we've been fighting for our lives and I'm happy that we have a good purpose but...motivation was really a problem for us."
"Ever since we're growing up and responsibilities have been piling up and...it's...too much...for me at least. I've been stressed and lashing out more often."
She stares at the bow in the box and became more sadder and sadder. She picks up the lid and slowly closes it
"Being a hero with all of this gift can be taxing...with you, made it much more difficult that quarrelling any we had but " Blossom then smiles at him "with you, it might really be possible to make it quelled."
Bix smiles at him with a new found pride and she smiles back.
Blossom continued to speak about her bow and recounting the adventure she had with it.
After about an hour of talking about her bow. He moved on Bliss and Bunny, who has just one box.
"Wait, why is just one?" He asked
"Well this just for me, Bunny's is hidden somewhere in the house." Bliss explains
"And for those I trust are the ones who know." Bunny added
"Really?"
"Yep. Only our family knows, well except for you that is"
"Can I see it?"
"How about later? We have a lot of things from Bliss and it seems that she already opened it." Bunny said
Bix looked at Bliss laying out her stuff in a particular position. He raised his eyebrow in confusion as he looks at her placing her stuff.
"Okay" she clasped her hand stub "First, we have my old outfit" she said while pointing out a folded purple dress with a purple head band with a heart on the side.
"You were also purple?"
"Yep! I was the first. When the trio made Bunny, I gave it up and gave it to Bunny. Although, she might change her soon."
"I'm still deciding on what color I should use but I wouldn't mind keeping my colors. I mean, you're not going anywhere anytime soon."
Bliss's eyes widened in shock which Bix and Bunny didn't notice and she was upset causing her to suddenly stood up leaves in a huff.
Bunny and Bix were surprised by the sudden attitude change of Bliss.
"Did I say something wrong?" Bunny asked
Bix just shrugs as why Bliss left. Bunny looked at Bix and said "sorry for the sudden stop of the tour but I'll check on her okay? I promise we'll continue our tour"
"Okay sis" he said
Bunny pats his head and leaves him behind.
Bix patiently waited for them. As he was waiting, he looked at the stuff that Bliss places.
He sees the folded dress,a golden necklace with a screen that displays a green heart on it, a photo of an island, and lastly a paper that is rolled up.
He grabs the rolled up paper and unrolls it. He is in awe of the rolled up paper to be a poster of her doing a heroic pose and monsters all around her with the captions
/ A HERO FROM THE BLUE PLANET/
He stares at the poster in awe of what he saw. Before he could get to analyze the poster, he heard a voice call out his name.
"Bix, we're back!"
He rolls up the poster in panic and quickly places it back to its original position. Bliss and Bunny returns to Bix and sits down to there respective position.
"Are you okay sis?" He asked Bliss
"Yeah, i just needed the bathroom. Probably just had something bad I ate."
"Let's continue were left off okay? Now..." Bliss said
--
After 30 minutes of Bliss recounting her memories and Bix was intently listening. Bliss puts away all her stuff and Bunny places a small box which is much smaller that Blossom's.
"Alrighty, you're about to see some piece of history" she hypes up.
Bix was excited when Bunny hyped up as she slowly opened up the small box to reveal a torn purple and black cloth.
"I'm confused..." Said Bix "what is it?"
"For anyone it would be a piece of cloth but for us here. It's the first time I was made by Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup" she explains
"First time?" He asked. Intrigue by the implications that she was made again
"Yeah...long story short. when Bliss was off fighting aliens, the three made me to help with fighting crime but they didn't do a good job of it and became an unstable puff and blew up. Needless to that hurt them."
Bix is surprised that she blew up for being unstable.
"She is not the only one who was unstable. You count me in it" Bliss comments
"Really sis?"
"Yep, mine was emotion. When my emotions get really high or unstable, a burst of lighting comes out of my body. Good thing I've controlled it over these years."
"Woahhh, that is so cool!"
"It may be cool but it is highly dangerous. That's why Bunny was made in my place. I left because I was too dangerous."
"Dangerous? You sis? You never are. You're one of the sweetest sister that I can ever have!"
"Awww thank you but I was. Just thinking about hurting dad made me very sad and left to 'Bird poop' island"
Bix and Bunny chuckled at the name Bliss said about the island and Bliss crossed her arms.
"I still can't believe that you've named it like that"
"Hmph, I was five when I named it that"
"Anyway, back on topic..."
She tells about what happened to these past 2 years of non stop fighting crime which Bix was surprised that they struggled with villian but he also understand that enemies get stronger.

After cleaning up the attic and telling tales of yore, they all gathered around the tv with Ms.Bellum joining them as late as it was. The Professor didn't mind as well as the others. Bix is sitting on the lap of Ms.Bellum and being engrossed in a broadcast of The Super Summit of Society of Associated Puffketeers or SAP.
"Still kept the stupid name...Major Butthead should really change that" Said Buttercup.
"We're the one who came up with that you know. Besides, Puffketeers are a great name." Bubbles rebutted
"Well sorry if your stupid brain could think of something better, I wouldn't rag on it" Buttercup insults
"You call me stupid? Wanna go!" Bubbles instigated
They continue aguring with each other while Blossom tries to stop them with help of the Professor and Bliss.
While Bix is staring at the heroes on the T.V slowly blinking and drowning out the sounds of him thinking
"I wanna be a hero"
Over and over again
