Love or Hate?
Chapter 5: Mistake
Buttercup's POV:
I feel so nervous right now. HIM took me to his lair, tied my hands and feet together, and laid me down on a table. The table has candles on it. Right now he is reading from a red book and chanting in some language I don't recognize. I start getting a headache, then the pain starts spreading through the rest of my body. After a couple seconds, the pain increases to the point of where it feels like someone is trying to rip me apart from the inside out. I let out a long agonized scream until my voice starts feeling raw.
I look up to see a light green orb rise out of my chest. HIM grabs a jar and catches the orb in it. He unlocks a chest, opens it, puts the jar in it, and locks it. "It's done.", HIM tells me while releasing me. "They'll be alive after this, right?", I hesitantly ask him. "Yes. When you get back home, they should be awake.", HIM tells me while opening a portal for me. I quietly float through the portal then start flying home. Each second I find myself flying faster and faster due to the anxiety and nervousness I'm feeling at the moment.
Eventually I reach my front door. Right as I'm about to open the door, Blossom answers it. She looks really panicked. "Buttercup! You're not going to believe this! They're alive! They're alive!", Blossom yells at me while hugging me really tightly. "Bloss. I can't breathe.", I manage to choke out despite the lack of air. "Oh. I'm sorry.", Blossom says while letting go of me quickly. I take in a few deep breaths of air. "Are they awake?", I ask Blossom. "No. They are sleeping right now. But I bet they'll wake up soon.", Blossom says while looking hopeful at me. "Yeah. Maybe.", I reply to her.
Blossom and I walk down to the lab to see the professor talking to Brick. They are whispering so I use my super hearing to listen in on their conversation. "Will they wake up anytime soon?", Brick asks the professor. "Their heart beats are getting stronger so I believe in the next hour or so, they should wake up.", professor reassures Brick. Brick notices Blossom and comes over and wraps his arms around her waist. The professor doesn't even notice because he's too busy checking the heart monitors. He whispers something in her ear. It's so low that even with super hearing, I can't make it out. I'll ask Blossom about it later.
Then we all look up because the professor yells something we've all been waiting to hear. "They're waking up!", the professor yells. Brick, Blossom, and I watch in astonishment as Bubbles sits up and shakes her head then opens her eyes. She looks around and her eyes get wide then she flys off the table and tackles Brick. Then we hear Bubbles yelling. "Dude! I missed you so much! I promise that after this I'll be the best brother in the world!, Bubbles says to Brick. "What are you talking about?!", Brick asks Bubbles.
"What do you mean what am I talking about? You're my big brother.", Bubbles tells Brick. "No I'm not. You're Blossom's and Buttercup's sister.", Brick slowly tells Bubbles. "Wait a minute. I feel different. What's wrong with my voice?! Why is it so high pitched?!", Bubbles screams. "Who are you?", Brick asks Bubbles. "Duh. I'm your brother, Boomer.", Bubbles says to Brick while putting her hands on her hips. "I don't know how to tell you this, so I'll just show you.", Brick says while picking up a 3 foot mirror and putting it in front of Bubbles.
Her eyes get wide then she screams an earsplitting scream. "WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?! I'M A GIRL! SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!", Bubbles screams. As this is going on, Boomer wakes up. "What's with all the fucking screaming?!", Boomer yells. Everyone's jaw drops as they look at Boomer. He has a glare on his face until he looks at me. "Buttercup.", Boomer whispers. He runs across the room and pulls me into a hug. I push him off. "Boomer, what the hell are you doing?", I ask Boomer.
"Boomer?", Boomer says while looking at me confused. "I'm not Boomer. I'm Butch.", Boomer tells me. I sigh then pick up the same mirror Brick did and hold it up in front of Boomer. "What the fuck?", Boomer says while touching the mirror. This is all so weird.", Brick says. "If Boomer is in Bubbles's body and Butch is in Boomer's body, then Bubbles has to be in Butch's body.", Blossom says. Blossom walks over to Butch and tries waking him up. "Bubbles?", Blossom asks. "Blossom? What happened? Where am I? Why is my voice deep?", Butch asks.
Blossom looks at me for help. I sigh and pick the mirror up again and put it in front of Butch. His eyes get wide and he faints. "Great. Just great.", I mutter as Blossom and I pick up Butch and put him on the table. "What do we do now?", Brick asks. "I don't know, but we will figure something out.", professor tells him. I thought everything would be okay after this. I honestly don't see how anything could get worse right now. I hope everything will turn out right.
