Ticking Time Trouble (PpgzxRrbz Kids) |Book 4|

Chapter 3 (Bj)

Bj didn't have time for this. He didn't have time for Bartholomew and Python to have their moments. He just didn't have time! Sam is out there in some random time period and he has no idea where she is. He has no idea if she is alive or safe. He just needs her back.

He began to scratch the back of his head with his hair tangling. He looked around trying to find some clues. Bj wanted to curse out the triplets for lying to him. Sam is nowhere around here! So, what is the answer he needs? What the question that he has to know? He doesn't have anything else on his mind but Sam.

"What's over there?" Bentley asked.

Bj looked over, with high hopes that it's Sam but it wasn't. Instead, it was a family standing there. Bj turns his head to the side and looked back at Bast. Can they be seen by people in the past? It would make sense if they mess something up. But the family are taking fast as they pointed towards Bartholomew and Python.

Benjamin nudged his foot against Python's side. Python raised his head and saw the family. He licked his lips and waved at the family. He said something in Japanese then turn back to the twins.

"They think that we are deities so we should fly to get out of here," Python said.

"They think we are what?" Bast asked.

"Gods? Why would they think that?" Bj asked, still wanting answers for Sam.

"Remember how I said back when they saw things as gods. They didn't understand why people were born with powers so they figured that we were gods. They just assumed that we are deities just having fun in the forest." Python said.

"Do they know where Sam is?" Bj asked.

"No," Python said.

"Then we should stay for a little bit to make sure that Sam isn't here!" Bj exclaimed.

"Anika wouldn't have taken her to a place she's never been. Anika home place was Rome and she will only bring Sam to Rome." Python said.

"Then let's go," Bj said.

"We can't," Benjamin said.

"Why not? Sam is out there!" Bj yelled.

Bast put her hand on his shoulder. Bj raised his eyebrow but saw her looking somewhere else. Bj followed her line of sight and saw his mother, Buttercup, running from something. Bj chest began to raised in uneven patterns but he couldn't move. He watched Buttercup slam against someone landing on the ground. 

Bj, without thinking, he walked forward and hide behind the nearest tree. Bj hands laid flat against the tree. He wanted to know that this isn't a dream or crazy book he's reading. He pressed his palms against the tree for the pain. He thought as long there pain then he's not dreaming. 

His eyes stayed on his mom and the stranger. Buttercup is wiping away the tears and apologizing to the stranger. Bj noticed the others Powerpuffs are calling out her name. They are looking for her. Bj pressed his lips together and watched them. He saw the stranger trying to calm down his mom but it isn't working.

"I don't speak Japanese." Buttercup said.

The stranger just nodded, "I know little English."

"I'm sorry for running into you."

"It's okay. I fine." 

"Do you know where we are?" 

"Kyoto. My home right there." 

Buttercup watched his finger and saw the house. She nodded as she brushed back her hair. She looked back at the stranger with a smile. Bj knew that smile. Buttercup usually has that smile whenever she is around Butch, his father, but he could see the pain in her eyes. He looked back and saw Butch calling out her name also.

Bj wonders what happened. He wonders why his mom is out here. He heard Butch scream out Buttercup's name but from the corner of his eye, he saw Buttercup flinch. She glared behind him. Bj guessed that they have gotten into a fight. He started to wonder how many times have they gotten into fights when they were together as teenagers. 

"Everything okay?" The stranger asked.

"Can we go to your place? I just need somewhere to sleep." Buttercup said.

"Yes. We go to my place."

"Thank you."

"Welcome."

Bj gulped and shook his head. He watched them walk towards the stranger's house. But they stopped, well his mom did, and Bj felt his palms get cut. He saw Buttercup kissed the stranger but heard a gasp. He looked over and saw Butch standing there, not even five trees away from him. Bj raised his eyebrow. 

Did his mom really just kiss this stranger because Butch is watching? Is it really that serious? He looked towards Butch who is hurt. A frown is written across his face with pain written in his eyes. Bj felt sorry for him. 

He heard someone sitting down next to him. Bj looked over and saw his sister, Bast, sitting there. Her long black hair covered her body but Bj could see her hands are twisting together. Bj sighed as he sunk down and pulled his hands away from the tree. He saw the blood running down them and pressed them against his pants to make them stop bleeding. 

"Mom kissed him," Bj said.

"I saw," Bast said.

"What does that mean?" 

"Bj . . . there's something I need to tell you."

"Okay?"

"I think . . . I think that this is the time where Buttercup did something to get back at dad. They think that you may not be dad's kid."

Bj froze. He felt his whole body turn cold. He couldn't move or didn't know what to do. Bj finally moved his head to look at Butch. He's sitting down by the tree watching the house. The same house that Buttercup and the stranger walked into. The same house that could hold his DNA father.

"She said that?" Bj finally asked.

Bast nodded, "She didn't want me to tell you but I did. I'm sorry."

"It's fine." 

"Really?"

"Bast, I can worry about that later. Right now I . . . we need to save Sam." 

"It's okay if you want to talk about it. No one is going to judge you."

"I'm fine, Bast. Really."

He wasn't. He doesn't think that he will ever be. Right now he just wants to save Sam. If he saves Sam then everything will be perfect. He doesn't have to second guess who is his father. He doesn't have to second anything once Sam is back in his arms.

But now . . . he couldn't help but to second guess everything.
