"BOARDING SCHOOL!" yelled Buttercup, she was outraged

"wh-wh-why?" asked Bubbles, she was on the verge of tears

"girls don't be sad or angry, this is a privilege" said The professor "this is one of the finest schools in the world, you will love it there"

"NO WE WON'T!" yelled Buttercup

"keep your voice down Buttercup" said the Professor in a calm tone "this school deals with all your academic abilities, Blossom you will enjoy all there classes, Buttercup you will enjoy there sports and Bubbles you will enjoy there after school activities"

"I understand Professor" said Blossom calmly "you know best"

The Professor smiled at Blossom "trust me girls, you will all be better off at this school than at Townsville High"

"what about our friends?" asked Bubbles, a tear escaped her eyes

"don't worry sweetheart, you will be able to reunite with your friends during the summer and on school vacations" replied the Professor

Bubbles sighed, Buttercup continued to pout "this isn't fair, we should be able to make our own decisions" Bubbles nodded in agreement "and…" Buttercup continued "what about Townsville, we are its protectors, we need to stay"

"don't worry about Townsville, it is time to worry about yourself" said the Professor "you need to be ready for life and this school will do that for you"

"ready for life?" repeated Buttercup "Pfft! I am ready for life! I don't need a stupid school to help me get ready for it! I AM NOT GOING!"

"Buttercup what did I tell you about raising your voice?"

"I DON'T CARE!" yelled Buttercup furiously "YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GO!" then she flew to her room and slammed the door

Bubbles started to cry "I don't want to go!!!" then she flew up to her bedroom and shut her door

Blossom looked down at the ground and sighed "don't feel bad Professor, you are doing what is best for us"

The Professor nodded "thank you for being so reasonable Blossom" he walked down to his laboratory and left Blossom alone

Blossom walked upstairs and knocked on Bubbles door. She could hear Bubbles crying "Bubbles, can I please come in?"

"No I don't want to talk" she said through many tears

"Bubbles…" said Blossom and she opened the door slowly, Bubbles was laying on her bed hugging her Octi "don't cry" Bubbles sat up quickly and looked at Blossom and then turned to face the window. Blossom sighed and sat down beside Bubbles on her bed "you know the Professor isn't trying to ruin our lives"

"He is!" said Bubbles sharply and she started to cry even more "he is…" she whispered

Blossom wiped one of Bubbles tears "no he isn't, he wants us to get a good education, you will thank him later"

"I don't care about later I care about now and I don't think he is doing the right thing at all!" replied Bubbles angrily

"Bubbles…" started Blossom but Bubbles cut her off

"I AM NOT GOING!" shouted Bubbles and she hugged her toy tighter and shook her head "nothing can make me, not even you"

"you are going!" said Blossom in a strict voice

"NO!" shouted Bubbles and she jumped off the bed and ran into her closet "YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!"

Blossom rolled her eyes and walked over to the closet "Bubbles, you will make tons of new friends, meet new boys and they have tons of fun activities for you to do"

Inside the closet Bubbles was sitting against the door with her knees held close to her chest, she stopped crying and thought about what Blossom was saying

"it will be a whole new experience, don't you ever get bored with Townsville?"

"sometimes" replied Bubbles quietly

"yeah, so you can think of this like a really long vacation"

Bubbles nodded and got off the floor, she didn't open the door she just turned to face it and looked at the floor "but I will miss the Professor and my friends"

"same here but don't worry we can still communicate with technology and visit on school vacations and hang out over the summer" said Blossom

There was a long silence. Bubbles finally opened the closet door and hugged Blossom "your right"

Blossom smiled and hugged Bubbles back "good now lets go try to convince Buttercup"

"ok" said Bubbles and they went to get Buttercup "Buttercup can we come in?"

There was no reply "Buttercup?" repeated Blossom and she opened the door "Buttercup? I know you don't want to talk but…" she stopped

Buttercup wasn't in there "where did she go?" asked Bubbles

"I don't know but when she gets home we can talk to her" said Blossom, Bubbles nodded and they went downstairs to watch some TV

Meanwhile Buttercup was at the skate park "yo Dee what's up?"

"hey Buttercup" replied Buttercups friend Dee "nothin' much just skatin'"

Buttercup nodded and started to skate around "cool" she replied

"what's wrong wit you and don't say nothing because I can tell your upset" said Dee

Buttercup hopped off her skateboard "I have to go to some stupid boarding school"

"WHAT!!" shouted Dee "YOU CAN'T"

Buttercup sat down on the curb "well I am"

"that is so bogus!" said Dee angrily "they can't make you, they just can't! you are old enough to make your own decisions and they should let you decide! I mean it is your future and your probably better off at Townsville High than at like some super smart place! Don't they know they are hurting you by taking you away from your friends! You grew up here, you can't just leave! UH! This is totally bogus"

Buttercup didn't even bother to listen to Dee she just sighed "how am I gonna tell Todd?"

Dee froze "oh my god, this is gonna break his heart"

"I know" said Buttercup then she put her head in her hands "UH! We have been friends for so long, since kindergarten, how in the world am I gonna tell him?"

"well Buttercup you better think of something quick cause here he comes" said Dee looking over at Todd

"Hey guys!" said Todd as he walked over "why so down?"

Buttercup looked up at him and then down at the ground and sighed, Dee looked down at Buttercup "should I tell him?" Buttercup nodded

"tell me what?" asked Todd in a worried tone

"Buttercup is being sent to a boarding school"

Todd felt his heart break in half and sink down to the bottom of his stomach "why?"

Buttercup stood up but didn't face him, she looked in the other direction "cause the Professor said so" she jumped on her skateboard and left Dee and Todd

Dee turned to Todd "now I bet you wish you told her"

"I love her" said Todd "and if she is going to boarding school then I am too"

Dee looked at Todd strangely "can you afford it?"

Todd glared at Dee "of course, plus I don't want her to go there and fall in love with some other dude"

Dee scratched her head "but we don't even know what boarding school she is going to and what if you had to like apply to it or something?"

Todd thought for a minute "I don't care I will figure out what school she is going to and I will get in somehow"

Dee nodded "good luck with that brainiac"

Back to the Utonium household…

"home" said Buttercup as she walked through the front door, Bubbles and Blossom jumped off the couch and pinned Buttercup to the wall "HEY!" shouted Buttercup and she started to kick and fight back but couldn't get out of their grasp, she calmed down and glared at them "what?"

"we need to talk to you" said Blossom

"yeah"

"about what?" asked Buttercup

"boarding school" answered Blossom

Buttercup rolled her eyes "I don't want to talk about it, I don't care anymore, I will go but I will hate it"

Blossom and Bubbles looked at each other then back at Buttercup, they let her go an stepped back "oh ok then" said Blossom

Buttercup glared at them "I am gonna go pack"

Blossom and Bubbles smiled "us too"
