Weeks later in the Utonium Chateau…

(Bubbles wakes up in the middle of the night, holding her head and squeezing her eyes shut to try and ward off her headache. She only peeked her eyes open to spy at the time, which was around 2:30 am. Quickly, her headache transformed into a wave of nausea, and she rushed out of bed.)

(She barely made it to the bathroom before vomiting straight into the toilet. Right as she came up for air, she vomited again, falling onto the floor afterwards. Bubbles pulled herself up and shakily leaned against the counter.)

Bubbles: (Moaning) "Ughhh, end me now…"

(Bubbles flushes the toilet and rubs her eyes, feeling like death. As she stumbles out of the bathroom, and she only makes it a few steps before she realizes that she had to pee. Bubbles quickly dashes back to the bathroom, locks the door, pulls up her nightgown, and gets to the toilet just in time. She let out a sigh of relief as she emptied her bladder.)

Bubbles: (Groaning) "Typical body. It doesn't want to use the bathroom until after I'm almost down the hall. What's going on with it though…?"

(When Bubbles finished relieving herself, she tried to clean herself up, wiping herself, adjusting her hair, and checking to make sure there was no vomit on her. When she was positive that she was ok again, Bubbles turned around. Unfortunately, it was just a bit faster than she should've because she immediately felt ready to vomit again.)

(Bubbles leaned over and vomited into the toilet again. Her throat burned, and fresh tears stained her face. She didn't feel like there was possibly anything left to come up, but somehow it just wouldn't stop. By the time her body did, Bubbles had stars all around her vision, and she couldn't think straight. The Powerpuff Girl didn't even get to flush the toilet before she passed out on the bathroom floor.)

Three hours later…

(Bubbles painfully groaned and opened her eyes. All her muscles felt sore, and her mouth tasted terrible. The very first thing she did was get up and flush the toilet, then turned on the faucet and washed out her mouth. Afterwards, she paused and examined herself in the mirror.)

Bubbles: (Mumbling) "God, I look like a train wreck… Let's fix that."

(Bubbles turns on the shower faucet, watching the satisfying wave of steam billow out as she takes a deep breath. She tossed off her night clothes and prepared to hop in the shower, pausing for a second and looking in the mirror, tracing her hands along her figure.)

Bubbles: "Have I gained weight or is it just the mirror…? Ugh, whatever. Later problem."

(Bubbles sighs and hops in the tub to clean herself off. It was a hot and satisfying shower that she was more than happy about. When she hopped out, she put on a towel and started her morning routine. She blow dried and styled her hair and brushed her teeth before stepping out of the bathroom. Bubbles was startled to see all of her sisters outside the door giving her impatient glares.)

Bunny: (Smiling) "Good mor-"

Buttercup: "Finally! What the hell were you doing in there?!"

Bubbles: "Umm… getting ready?"

Blossom: (Running into the bathroom) "My turn! Shower time!"

(Blossom locked the door before anyone could react, and Buttercup slammed her fist against it.)

Buttercup: "Hey, it's my turn!"

Blossom: (Through the door) "Be faster next time!"

Buttercup: "Argh! No fair, I was distracted!"

Bubbles: (Hesitantly) "Ah… Good morning?"

Buttercup: (Grumbling) "Morning."

(In the bathroom, Blossom strips out of her night clothes & took a moment to admire her naked body. The commander & leader ran her hands across her muscles, feeling the bulging muscles of her six-pack and smiling. Her body was one of the things that Blossom prided the most.)

Blossom: (About her chiseled physique) "All those sit-ups & ab crunches at cheer practice really paid off.

(She quickly makes her way to the toilet & sits on it just in time to let out a loud sigh with a stream of relief into it. After her bladder was finally empty, Blossom gives her vagina a thorough wipe before standing up & flushing the toilet.)

(She then hops in the tub to clean herself off. It was a hot and satisfying shower that she was more than happy about.)

Buttercup: (Pounding on the door) "Hurry it up, Leader girl!"

Bunny: (Also pounding the door) "Yeah! You two sisters are about to pop at any minute!"

(Meanwhile, Bubbles walks away to her room to get dressed and finish getting ready, while Buttercup and Bunny wait outside of the bathroom for it to be their turn. They waited in silence for a while before Blossom swaggered out of the bathroom, knowing that she took extra time to make them wait.)

Buttercup: (Elbowing Blossom out of the way) "Finally!"

(Buttercup ran into the bathroom and slammed the door, not even sitting down before using the bathroom. It was an odd skill that she had practiced to do with ease. Not that her sisters were ever very impressed by it.)

Blossom: "Jeez, she's bad at saying good morning."

Bunny: "I think it's because Bubbles hogged the bathroom for hours, and she's been holding it in all morning."

Blossom: "Why has she been in there since before the sun was up anyway?"

Bunny: (Holding a hand up) "Oh, I know. It's because our sister's been poisoned by an evil seed that's burrowed in her. An evil seed that Boomer put in her that'll parasite off of her for months until it bursts out in a cry that will shake Heaven, Hell, and Earth."

Blossom: (Legitimately speechless) "…alright then. We either need you diagnosed or medicated."

(Blossom walked to her room as the toilet flushed and Buttercup walked out of the bathroom, thoroughly relieved. She moved downstairs as Bunny ran into the bathroom herself. When Buttercup reached the kitchen, she saw that Bubbles had formed an amalgamation of breakfast foods all in one.)

(On Bubbles' plate was a small stack of waffles with syrup drowning out most of them, and whipped cream on top. She had also decorated the top with intricate slices of strawberry and banana. Finally, it was all garnished with rainbow sprinkles and served with a glass of orange juice.)

Buttercup: (Weirded out) "Is that for all of us?"

Bubbles: "My breakfast."

Buttercup: "All of it?"

Bubbles: (Defensive) "Hey, don't shame me!"

(Bubbles sits down and starts digging into her breakfast while Buttercup gives her a weird look. Right as Buttercup starts making her own food, Blossom comes downstairs and gives Bubbles the same odd look and whispers to Buttercup.)

Blossom: "What's with our sister's appetite?"

Buttercup: (Shrugs) "I dunno, but our girl's starving apparently."

Blossom: "You don't feel at all worried or suspicious about that?"

Buttercup: "You mean she hasn't always eaten like that?"

Blossom: "You seriously can't see it?"

Buttercup: "Would you judge me if I said no?"

(After a flush from the toilet upstairs Bunny runs downstairs from the bathroom in a hurry, also looking to get breakfast, but not casting the odd looks at Bubbles. Either she wasn't surprised, didn't care, or didn't notice, or a combination of the three. She only noticed something was off after she got her own waffles.)

Bunny: "Hey guys, where'd the syrup go?"

Buttercup: "I'll give you one guess."

Blossom: (Thinking) "Why aren't they more worried about Bubbles?! When did she have such an appetite…? It seems way too sudden to be natural…"

At Megabay High…

Mrs. Clewston: "BUBBLES!"

(Bubbles bolts up at her desk, disoriented and confused. She had fallen asleep at her desk, having already been exhausted and bored from first period history class. She rubs her eyes as the class chuckles and the teacher's frown intensifies.)

Mrs. Clewston: "I'd suggest you pay attention. If day one is apparently too boring for you, I'd recommend you drop out now."

Bubbles: (Groggily yawning) "I'm sorry… I'm just so tired…"

Mrs. Clewston: "I don't tolerate excuses in my classroom, young lady!"

Bubbles: "I wasn't trying to-"

Mrs. Clewston: "I don't need to hear it. You can talk back in detention."

(As Mrs. Clewston writes down a note for Bubbles, the school bell rings through the hall. The teacher puts the detention slip on her desk and looks at the class bitterly.)

Mrs. Clewston: "I trust that the rest of you can stay awake long enough to do your homework. Bring it in tomorrow! Class dismissed!"

Bubbles: (Groaning) "Fantastic…"

(Bubbles grabbed her detention slip and backpack, trudging her feet out of the classroom door. After throwing the slip and some books in her locker, she makes her way to the bathroom. She passed a bunch of her giggling and whispering classmates on her way to the girl's restroom, but she tried not to pay attention to them. Bubbles knew she looked like a mess, because she felt like one too.)

(Bubbles slipped herself into a bathroom stall, pulled her short shorts down, sat on the toilet and sighed as she relieved herself. The moment of relaxation from hiding in the stall was ruined by a girl coming into the bathroom just to smoke though.)

Bubbles: (Coughing) "Can you smoke outside?"

?: (Annoyed) "Can you piss faster?"

Bubbles: (Thinking) "I can't wait for this day to be over…"

(Bubbles finished using the toilet, pulled her underwear and shorts back up, flushed the toilet and marched out of the stall. Bubbles just wearily locked eyes with the smoking girl as she washed her hands, rushing out of the bathroom to second period before the bell rang.)

At lunchtime…

(Bubbles walks across the lunchroom, humming a tune and carrying her tray. She had asked for lots of extra food, having stacked burgers, hot dogs, and fries. Everyone was giving her weird looks, but she was either oblivious or didn't care. As Bubbles sat down with her friends, Lola and Bambi raised their eyebrows.)

Lola: "Did you get lunch for all of us?"

Bubbles: (Frowning) "Why does everyone keep asking that?"

Bambi: "Because you've got like, triple portions. What's been going on with you?"

Bubbles: "What do mean? Nothing's going on."

Bambi: "Oh that's not fooling anyone. Even if we ignore the copious amounts of food, there's still the fact that you've been going to the bathroom like 2-3 times a period, you haven't been able to stay awake in any of our classes, and on top of that you've been puking every hour or two. It's been driving the janitor crazy."

Bubbles: (Obviously lying) "I just had a pretty crazy night last night."

Lola: "Your sisters didn't mention going out last night."

Bubbles: "Well, I think I just have a stomach bug. And I have an infected bladder."

(Lola and Bambi give each other an unamused glance and glare back at Bubbles.)

Lola: "Let's take you to the nurse then."

Bubbles: (Putting her hands up) "Oh no no no, I'm fine-"

Bambi: "You're taking a trip to the nurse, girl!"

(Bambi and Lola grab Bubbles by the arms and drag her out of the room and down the hall, attracting stares from everyone as they pass them by. As the two girls dragged Bubbles into the nurse's office, she tried to shake them off, but was too weak to fight the two of them. Nurse Stickler only looked mildly concerned at the sight.)

Nurse Stickler: "Girls, girls, what's going on here?"

Bambi: "Something's wrong with Bubbles and she keeps lying about it."

Lola: "She's over-eating, throwing up, using the bathroom every half hour, and can barely stay awake through her classes."

Bubbles: "You're making this a bigger deal than it actually is!"

Nurse Stickler: "Just calm down and let her go."

(Lola and Bambi drop Bubbles and let Nurse Stickler approach her.)

Nurse Stickler: "Alright, when was the last time you ate?"

Bubbles: "A few minutes ago."

Nurse Stickler: "When was the last time you vomited?"

Bubbles: "Umm… like 30 minutes ago?"

Nurse Stickler: "Alright, answer honestly, were you making yourself vomit?"

Bubbles: (Exasperated) "Oh, no! I swear I'm just feeling really nauseous today."

Nurse Stickler: "Okay then… Let's do a few tests to see if I can get an idea of what might be wrong then, ok? If you are sick, we should figure out what you're sick with."

Bubbles: (Sighing) "Fine…"

(Lola and Bambi sit in the nurse's office and watch Nurse Stickler run tests on Bubbles, including looking in her throat and ears, urine test, measuring her blood pressure, and listening to her heartbeat. After the many tests are over, they keep her company while waiting for the nurse to come back. When Nurse Stickler does, she looks noticeably surprised.)

Nurse Stickler: "So… good and bad news. The good news is that I know for sure what's wrong with you."

Lola: "And the bad news?"

(Nurse Stickler wordlessly holds up a pregnancy test that was marked positive. The three girls' jaws dropped in shock, and Lola and Bambi gave Bubbles a surprised glare. Nurse Stickler gently places the test in Bubbles' hands and turns away.)

Nurse Stickler: "I'm going to, um, go do some paperwork now that my job here is done."

Lola: "You're seriously pregnant?!"

Bambi: "Since when?! From who?!"

Bubbles: (Mumbling) "Probably from, um… Boomer… When you guys dared us to have unprotected sex in that lodge basement during that party-"

Bambi: (Smacking Bubbles in the back of the head) "You actually went through with that?! I thought you understood it was a joke!"

Bubbles: "We did know! One thing just led to another and well… It became not a joke anymore."

Lola: "Your sisters are going to kill you."

Bubbles: (Begging) "Please don't tell them! Just… keep it a secret from everyone, ok? This is just between the three of us."

Lola & Bambi: "Promise."

Bubbles: (Signing) "Thank you."

Bambi: "Are you going to tell Boomer? He should probably know."

Bubbles: "I probably will, but I just want this all to be hush hush."

Lola: "It's alright B, we'll keep it locked up. Just between us."

(Lola and Bambi both threw their arms around Bubbles, and the girls shared a big group hug. The two friends promised to keep the secret and comfort Bubbles through her new journey in life.)

Later during cheerleading practice…

(The Megabay High cheerleading team are in the gym, practicing their new moves for the school year on a bunch of mats. The energetic cheerleaders were practicing their prided pyramid move. Bubbles and Lola were two of the girls at the bottom, supporting Brick and Bambi while Blossom stood at the top.)

Lola: (Whispering) "Bubbles, you're shaking the pyramid."

Bubbles: "I'm trying to steady it…"

(Bubbles starts to shake and all the cheerleaders look down at her with uncertainty. Even the cheer coach shot her a deadly glare. Suddenly, a sharp pain tore through Bubbles' back, making her cry out in pain and completely let the pyramid down. A dozen teens cried out in pain as the whole thing came crashing down.)

Cheerleader #1: "Bubbles!"

Cheerleader #2: "What the hell?!"

Coach: (Furious) "Girls! What the hell was that?! This is how we're starting our practice on day one?! Can't you hold someone?!""

Cheerleader #3: "Bubbles was the one who dropped us all!"

Coach: (Turning to Bubbles) "What's wrong with you?! Can't you do the one thing you're assigned to do?!"

Bubbles: (Mumbling) "The bottom of the pyramid is hard to hold up…"

Coach: "Oh, I see. So the Powerpuff Girl is too weak? Alright everyone, who wants to carry Bubbles since she's too good for the bottom of the pyramid?"

(Since nobody really wanted to be on the base of the pyramid, all the cheerleaders glanced aside and awkwardly coughed.)

Coach: "That's what I thought. Either shape up or go home! Otherwise, you're just dead weight and we don't need you!"

(Tears welled in Bubbles' eyes as she ran out of the gym, hearing the insults of the coach hurled at her without mercy. She retreated to the locker room, followed by her sister, Blossom. As Blossom walks into the locker room, Bubbles is furiously packing her cheer clothes into a bag.)

Blossom: "Bubbles, wait-"

Bubbles: (Dejectedly) "You heard the coach. I'm just dead weight…"

Blossom: "You're just having a bad first day. Come back to practice and-"

Bubbles: "I have to go serve my detention anyway…"

(As Bubbles pushed past her, Blossom noticed something fall out of her bag and clatter to the floor as her sister rushed to her detention. Blossom curiously picked up a pregnancy test marked positive and looked at her sister in shock while she continued running off.)

Blossom: (Whispering to herself) "What the…? Bubbles, we're so having a talk when we get home…"

(Meanwhile, Bubbles arrived at detention, receiving a glare from Mrs. Staker.)

Mrs. Staker: "You're early."

Bubbles: "I got let go early."

Mrs. Staker: "Fine, then you can start your detention early."

(Mrs. Staker throws a thick history book onto a desk along with an empty notebook and a ballpoint pen. She glared at Bubbles cruelly as the girl set her stuff down.)

Mrs. Staker: "You're going to copy this textbook word-for-word. Understand?"

Bubbles: (Groaning) "Oh man…"

(As Bubbles sat down to start her punishment, she thought about what her classmates would think if they knew that she was pregnant. What would her friends think? What about her teachers? Or her sisters…? How was she ever possibly going to break the news to everyone?)

After detention…

(Bubbles met with Lola and Bambi the minute her detention was over to take her home. There wasn't much talk on the way, and the girls said their goodbyes as Bubbles walked into the Utonium Chateau. She made her way to her room and set her stuff down, but soon her sisters were all standing in her doorway with their hands on their hips, giving her a look.)

Bubbles: "What?"

Blossom: "We have to talk."

Bubbles: "Listen, it really hasn't been a great day, so-"

(Blossom tossed Bubbles' pregnancy test on her bed, making her quickly shut up. Bubbles' mind raced with how to respond.)

Blossom: "Do you want to explain that?"

Buttercup: "Bubbles got someone pregnant!"

Blossom: (Hitting the back of Buttercup's head) "No, she's the pregnant one!"

Buttercup: (Confused) "Really? She doesn't look like it."

Bubbles: "I only found out today, I swear! I wouldn't hide it from you guys, but… I just didn't know how to say anything…

Bunny: "It's just as I said. The evil seed grows within her…"

Blossom: (Rubbing her temples) "Can I not be the only one to take this seriously…?"

Bubbles: (Crying) "I-I let myself get knocked up, ok? I was being stupid and didn't think about the future, but… I don't want to get rid of the baby. I just don't know how Boomer is going to react or if he'll even accept being a father… I'm afraid of mine and the kid's future being totally ruined…"

Blossom: "Aw, c'mon, we'll help you through it though."

Buttercup: "Yeah! We're sisters before anything!"

Bunny: "We'll fight the evil sickness within you together!"

Bubbles: (Tearfully) "Oh you guys…"

(The three sisters pulled each other close in a tight hug. They made a promise to each other that they would always stick by each other through thick and thin and support Bubbles through her new but scary phase of life.)
