Tough Love (On Hold)

Chapter 14

Wait, what? How... wha....??!!

Brick/Taro's POV:

"She was gone yesterday then wandered off elsewhere today. What happened to her this time?" Momoko asked.

I walked up to the beds where my brothers were laid. They're sleeping peacefully with hat... thingy on their heads with wires connected to the computer. It's showing images of what's going on their minds. I hope I won't end up like them.

"Hey Professor, do you have a submarine?" Kaoru asked. I looked.

"No. And if I were to make one, it'll take months to finish it. Or maybe even a whole year."

"Then how are we supposed to get it?" Momoko asked.

We pondered for a moment. "Why don't we sneak into the Powerpunks' house to look if there's any of it there?" I suggested.

"No. We don't want to risk anyone of us getting injected by them. We have to think of something else," Kaoru said.

"Why don't we sent a machine deep underwater?" Momoko suggested.

"Then we need tons of batteries for the power and light. But I left the rest of my batteries at the lab so it's not gonna be enough," Professor said.

"Look around the market?"

"I doubt that any of the vendors have those kinds of seaweed," Kaoru crossed her arms. "It's very rare, remember?"

"Why don't we dig?"

"It's going to take months - or maybe even years - since the time machine isn't here. Plus, we'll get arrested for destroying the place," Professor said.

"Umm... why would we need the time machine to dig?" I asked.

"The girls can change the machine by choosing who is in the head. And I mean is that if Blossom is at the head part, the whole machine will look like her. We need that machine since Buttercup's form has a drill. We can get to it in a few days." (There really is a drill on it. Look at the opening "Sunshine Power". You'll see it there.)

"Why days?"

"It's rare!"

"Right! Right, right..."

"Then, how are we supposed to get it?" Kaoru asked.

"Just think. But not too much or else your brains will get fried," Professor said.

~Next Day~

"Any ideas?" Professor asked.

We came back to Professor after breakfast. We all shook our heads no.

"Ask Kanae. If you know where she is," Momoko said.

"I have no idea where she is," Professor answered.

"I GOT IT!!!!" we heard someone yell outside.

We turned and saw Kanae with a proud look on her face.

"Where have you been?" Momoko asked.

She ran up to us and shoved her hand on our faces.

"Hey! What-- huh?" I said and opened my eyes.

"H-how did you get and... where... what?" Momoko stared at her wide eyed.

"Eh, I have my ways," Kanae shrugged. "Are you going to get it or not?" she said, waving the seaweeds on our faces.

Professor grabbed the seaweeds and looked at it in disbelief.

"H-how did you get it...?"

"Secret! I have my own ways," Kanae said. "And if you need more, just come to me."
