Wowzers! I haven't uploaded for almost a year! Soooo sorry, guys, I know you've been waiting and stuff, and I really need to make it up to you ;~: Sorry, sorry sorry. Then I forgot my passwaord, and the thing wouldn't get this chapter and ugh -_-
My life is a series of unfortunate events ^^;;
Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter. (The story is almost finished, by the way ;~;)

I flew back home, even though it could've been dangerous. I stood outside my door, wondering what I was so afraid of. I had never been more scared than that moment. But I couldn't figure out why.

I slowly opened the door, trying to be as quiet as possible. I went inside to find everyone in the living room, not saying anything. No one even noticed I was there. All of their eyes were transfixed on the floor, soulless and scared. I noticed Butch and Bubbles had regained consciousness; I knew they would, they were strong. They all sat on the floor like statues, not saying anything, not even moving. I felt a lump in my throat and started to turn back.

"Buttercup."

I turned around. They were all staring at me now. I stared back with the same soulless stare they gave me. I gulped and I thought I heard one of them gulp as well. I opened my mouth to say something, but then shut it. I couldn't turn around now; they were all focused on me. I used all my strength to keep from crying.

"Buttercup," I heard Bubbled say. I turned my head in her direction. She stood up a walked towards me. "Buttercup. Buttercup." She kept repeating over and over again. She stepped over everyone who was on the floor and stood in front of me. "Buttercup," she said again, "Why did you come back here?"

"Bubbles," I said. As soon as I did, I felt my lip trembling. "Bubbles!" I threw my arms around her, but I didn't feel her hug me back. In fact, she became stiff; she was scared of me. "Because I need you. I really need you."

Bubbles lightly pushed me back and looked into my eyes. "Need me? For what?"

"First, let me ask something. Are you okay?"

"Okay? I'm a bit shaken, but yeah, I'm okay. I'm just surprised that you came back. We thought you were gone for good." I looked at everyone, who looked at the floor with big sad eyes. I gave them the same big sad eyes.

I gave Bubbles a hard look. "You know I never run away from anything," I said. That was partly a lie. I did plan on running away for good, but now the world was in danger, and my loved ones are part of this world. "But I mean different. You aren't in love with Butch, are you? And are the boys still in love with the wrong person?"

"Love?" Bubbles answered with a skeptical look. She gave me a sad look the sighed. "There's no love here anymore. Everything is broken, now. Even the Professor doesn't love." I looked over at the Professor. He was beginning to age; he looked older now with all the stress.

"Damn!" I punched a wall. The little ones flinched. I looked at everyone. "Listen up!" I could hear the determination in my voice. "I found out where all this confusion is from. Him, Mojo Jojo and Princess are all behind this. They put a spell on us and made us turn against each other. They used me as a weapon. But now, with all of us, we have to beast them. Look at all the destruction so far, it has to stop! Let's do it, together."

They all stared at me. Bubbles "Buttercup, no. No. We can't."

My mouth fell open. "What do you mean 'no'?"

She took a step back. "We can't do it. We...don't trust you. You almost killed us. Leave, Buttercup. Go away."

My heart broke. "Damn!" I punched a hole in the wall. "Damn! You just don't get it, do you? This isn't a fight, this is war!" I lowered my voice. "And I can't fight it alone." I fell to my knees and began to sob. I threw my head into me hands. "I can't do it by myself. I'm just nothing alone, I need you guys. I need you."

"I'm going."

I looked up. Butch had finally spoken to me and he stood towering over me. He held out his hand. I took it. He pulled me up. "I'm in. I'm going to help you with this because I trust you really mean it."

"I'm going too." Blossom stood up. "I can't leave my sister when she's in need. And when the world is in danger." She walked over to me. "We're in this together!"

"You can count me in too!" Brick called. He floated to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, BC. We're in this together, and I'm going to help you. No sweat!"

"Don't forget me!" Boomer chimed in. He jumped over to me. "I'm going to help you to, for sure! Count on it!"

The little ones flew over to me. "We'll help out anyway we can," they said. I stopped sobbing. I had no one and now, here I was, with everyone around me, supporting me. I could even see Professor giving me a thumbs up from his seat and giving me a weak smile. I softly smiled back at him and returned his thumbs up. Everyone was back on my side. Everyone but one person. I walked over to her.

"Bubbles," I said softly. I tried to touch her, but she slapped my hand away. "Bubbles, I really need you right now. We can't do this without you." I tried to touch her again, but she slapped my hand away, harder than she hand done before.

"No! Buttercup, I've been with you all this time, and I put up with your bullying and your teasing, but this has gone too far! It's over between you and me! Over! Don't you call me your sister, and don't you ever come near me again! And if you won't leave this place, then I will." And with that, she flew away. I saw her blues streak in the distance and hung me head.

"Bubbles is gone," I said. I shook me head. "Okay. We have to do this, whether she was here or not. So are you guys ready to do this?"

Everyone nodded, determination in their faces. They flew off and waited for me to lead them. I nodded and flew off in front of them. As we flew I saw the last of the light blue streak in the sky fade away. A silent tear slid down my cheek. "We still need you, Bubbles," I whispered under my breath.

Whooooo, it's dramatic! I promise the story won't take another year to finish ^^;;
The ending is coming pretty soon, and I can't wait! Yet, I feel sad that it's ending ;~; Oh well3
