Chapter 2

AN: So thanks for everyone who has read my first two chapters! I'm planning on updating every Tuesday until the end of the story. I hope you enjoy! :)

A FEW DAYS LATER

Everyone was at the Utonium house. The friends and family of the Powerpuff Girls always came back to Townsville for the month of January. Everyone wanted to be together for the New year after all. Blossom sat on the couch with her boyfriend of three years, Brick and Bubbles sat next to them with her recently wedded husband, Boomer. Butch sat across the room from them, watching with a frown on his face. Ms. Bellum was the new mayor since the old one had died two years before. Sandra Keane, now Sandra Utonium had married the professor one year after the girls graduated high school. Even Mojo Jojo was there, having made peace with the Powerpuff Girls after the supposed death of the middle sister. Finally, Buttercup's closest friend other than Butch, Mitch Mitchelson, was there.

Everyone was talking except for Butch. Everyone was here except for the one girl he wanted to talk to. The one girl he never had the courage to admit his love to. The one girl he would never see again. His brothers had told him that he needed to move on, but he couldn't.

"Let's get something to eat." The suggestion from Bubbles snapped Butch from his daze.

"Ooh! Let's go to that Chinese restaurant in central Townsville! We used to go there all the time!" Blossom threw in her thoughts, but both girls immediately went silent. That was Buttercup's favorite place.

"Yeah. Let's go there." The professor's mellow voice broke the silence and they all hopped in their cars to head to Townsville. The Ruffs, the Puffs, and Mitch opted to walk.

The whole way to the city was quiet until a young girl ran into them crying. Everyone in the group froze at the sight of her.

She looked just like Buttercup.

Bubbles was the first to come back to reality and hugged the little girl.

"Hey calm down sweetheart, what's wrong?" The girl wrapped her arms tightly around Bubbles and let her pick her up.

"I l-lost my mo-mommy! She told me not to r-run off, b-b-but I was cur-ious! We c-came here to m-eet my f-family, but no-w I lost my mom!" The girl buried her face in Bubbles's shoulder and continued to cry. The blonde girl looked to the other shocked adults.

"Hey it's okay, we'll help you find her. What does she look like?" The little girl wiped at her tears and her eyes widened.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! My mom would be so mad! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Rika." The six young adults blinked in shock at the girl's manners.

"No it's fine sweetie. It's nice to meet you. My name is Bubbles." The blonde sister introduced herself and looked to her older sister.

"I'm Blossom." She then looked to her boyfriend.

"My name's Brick." Brick looked to his black haired brother who was still looking at the girl in shock.

"Butch..." The blonde ruff got the cue and introduced himself.

"My name is Boomer." The Brown haired man then introduced himself.

"Name's Mitch." The girl looked up at them And nodded.

"It's nice to meet you guys, but I really need to find my mom. She's really pretty, she just made her hair blonde with dark brown at the top, she has tan skin like mine, but she has freckles, She has green eyes, she has really pretty earrings going all along her right ear, and she's dressed really cool. Please help me find her." Bubbles kneeled down to pick up the girl.

"Okay we can help you sweetie, what's your mom's name?" The little girl stayed silent for a moment.

"I don't know. I just call her mommy..." Blossom joined in on the questions.

"Have you heard any of her friends call her something else?" The girl frowned and looked down.

"My Mommy said she doesn't have friends..." The group looked to each other and frowned.

"Okay, we'll walk around and see if we can find her. Where did you wander off from?" Bubbles gently asked the child in her arms.

"We went to the bathroom at a Chinese restaurant we were supposed to eat at because we just finished driving here from Virginia. I didn't really have to go and instead of waiting for Mommy, I ran off. Then I realized I didn't know my way back and got really scared." Bubbles started walking and everyone followed her.

"That's okay, I'm sure your mom won't be upset once she sees that you're okay. We were headed to the same place to eat, maybe she's still there looking for you." Suddenly Blossom's phone started ringing. It was the professor.

"Hey Dad, what's going on?" A concerned voice came through the line.

"Blossom are you guys still in the city?" Blossom's smile dropped and she stopped walking.

"Yeah, why? What's wrong?" She could hear someone sobbing on the other end.

"Keep a lookout for a four year old girl. There's a mother here having a panic attack. Apparently her kid wandered off while she was using the bathroom." Blossom's eyes widened.

"Dad, what does she look like?" A brief silence followed the question.

"She's tan, freckles, blonde hair, she's wearing a leather jacket with a scarf, ripped jeans, white shoes and she looks like she's in her early twenties." Blossom thought on it for a second.

"Does she have piercings all up her right ear?" The professor was quiet for a second.

"Yes, she also has a small tattoo behind her ear." The auburn haired girl smiled and looked to the little girl in her sister's arms.

"Her daughter is with us right now and we're on our way there." A sigh of relief came from the other side.

"Great, thank you so much Blossom, all of you guys." She smiled and motioned for the group to follow.

"It's no problem, we'll be there soon." The little girl looked up from Bubbles's shoulder and turned her gaze to Blossom.

"You found my mom?" The oldest puff smiled to the small girl.

"Yes, she's at the place you were at before with my dad and a few other friends." The little girl smiled big, her fears from earlier completely forgotten.

"Thank you guys so much!" Bubbles kissed her cheek.

"It's no problem at all." The restaurant wasn't too far from where they were, so it wasn't long before they got there. The professor was sitting in the front, letting the young mother cry into his chest. He was trying to comfort her, but she was hysterical.

"I'm such a b-bad mom, I nev-er should have l-let her out of my sight!" The group looked at the woman sadly and the professor looked up at them in relief. His eyes landed on the girl and he froze. He looked back down at the woman and slowly back up to the girl.

"Mommy! I'm sorry I ran away!" The crying immediately stopped and the blonde mom turned towards the voice, relief evident in her puffy green eyes.

"Oh my god! Rika, you're okay!" Bubbles put down the little girl and she immediately ran towards her mom. She picked up the girl with no problem and buried her face in her daughter's hair. She looked up to the group of people who found her daughter and froze. She looked back to see the professor and a bunch of other people she knew from her old life.

AN: So Buttercup met up with her family sooner than expected. How do you think it's gonna turn out?
