You checked your bag over again. You had everything you thought you would need. Some clothes, toiletries, and your uniform. It wasn't going to be a long term stay, you hoped.

You looked over to see Brat packing both her and Courage's bag. Courage only really needed some food and water for the trip itself. You could always cut a water bottle in half for a water bowl.

Brat, on the other hand, didn't need much and she packed like she was in the military. She had three whole outfits tucked snugly in the bag and still had plenty of space for Courage's stuff.

You had already sent a text to Zak, Mitch, and Bubbles regarding what time you would all be heading out. Zak confirmed that you had the Airship to use.

After school was out, everyone was going to meet up at your apartment and head out from there. Then, you'll head straight to Lakeview to find the brothers who defeated the Beast.

Though, that did leave Townsville with only two heroes to protect it from monsters. Luckily, you knew three other superpowered teens who were willing to keep an eye in things while you and Bubbles were gone.

This should be a fun trip.

Power Up!

Zak: Welcome to Saturday Airlines.

Zak gestured towards the large orange airship. Everyone stared at it for a moment before Courage sneezed.

Zak: What?

Y/N: It's just....how have you never been caught flying this giant orange thing?

Mitch: It's like a traffic cone in the sky.

Zak turned around and looked at it.

Zak: Huh. Good question.

You just shrugged and grabbed your bag. Bubbles and Mitch had their own bags packed. Bubbles was like Brat's, but less put together and, of course, she had Octi sticking out of her bag.

Mitch had his bag, but he also had his gear. A few Chemical A grenades and his sword. Now that Football was over for the season, he had no problem taking the weekend off.

Y/N: Alright. We'll make it to Lakeview by night fall. From there, we'll look for the brothers and find out how to break this curse.

Robin: What curse?

Everyone turned around to find Robin standing there. She didn't really seem all that surpised to see you all about to board a giant Airship. Nor was she really that surpised to see her boyfriend with a sword.

Zak: Hey, Robin.

Robin smiled.

Robin: Hi, Zak.

Mitch: What are you doing here?

Mitch walked over to Robin. Her smile remained, however.

Robin: Well, I pieced everything together the other night. When I saw Y/N flying away from the Utonium house. And from there, I realized that Brittany was actually just Bubbles with an attitude.

Brat: Hey!

Robin: And from there I began to think back on all the times you canceled our dates to help Y/N. Like the night when all those males ended up in the park. And again when Brittany suddenly appeared out of the blue.

Zak looked to you.

Y/N: Wow. I'm bad at this secret identity thing.

Robin: So, I decided to tag along to ame sure you all stay in line.

Mitch: We don't need a hen mother, Robin. Besides, we have no idea what we'll end up coming across.....

Robin: Even more of a reason to have another person watching your back. Plus, if Blossom and Buttercup are clueless about their sister being cursed, then it must be something serious.

She crossed her arms.

Robin: Besides, what about Brittany and Zak? They don't have powers.

Brat: My name isn't Brittany and I do have powers.

Zak: I also have powers.

Robin stared at them for a moment. She then nodded.

Robin: My point from before still stands. Besides, do any of you have any medic training? Basic first aid at least?

No one answered. Zak gave a so so hand signal.

Robin: Great. I can be the medic. Now, let's get going. You can fill me in on the way there.

She walked past her boyfriend and headed towards the Airship. You and Zak both moved to the side to grant her access. Mitch looked to you for support, but you shook your head.

It would be nice to have a medic on your side in case Mitch or Zak got hurt. And, although you, Brat, and Bubbles healed faster, you still got hurt.

And she was right. More eyes meant less of a chance of getting blindsided. Especially against the Beast.
-------------
Bubbles sat against the window and watched as the clouds passed by. She looked at her hand and plucked out a lead from her fingernail.

She sighed just as someone walked by the room. Zak stopped and looked in. After thinking about it, he headed in.

Zak: Hey, Blue.

Bubbles looked over to him. She smiled a bit just so he wouldn't worry.

Zak: You hanging in there?

Bubbles: Yes. I'm doing good.

Zak: Cool. You want anything to drink or....

Bubbles: No, thank you. I'm fine.

Zak just nodded. He then looked out the window. He gestured to it with a nod.

Zak: I'm sure you're used to this view by now.

Bubbles looked back out the window. She laughed a bit.

Bubbles: Actually, I don't really ever fly this high. I actually get afraid when I fly too high.

Zak: Really? That's a surpise.

Bubbles looked a bit embarrassed.

Bubbles: I know.

Zak nudged her.

Zak: No need to be embarrassed. I used to be scared of heights. I get it.

Bubbles and Zak shared a smile. She then looked past him to see you and Mitch talking in the next room. Robin was petting Courage while Brat caught her up to speed.

Bubbles: Do you think Y/N was ever scared of heights?

Zak laughed. He then shook his head.

Zak: For as long as I've known that guy, he's never really been scared of anything. I remember visiting him for the first time after the accident. Couldn't find him anywhere. You know where he was?

Bubbles shook her head.

Zak looked around the area before he heard Muriel yelling in the other side of the house. He hurried over and found her looking at the windmill.

Muriel: What did I tell you about climbing up there?! Get down here this instant!

Zak looked up to find you sitting on the top of the windmill. You had your legs dangling down while you rested your head against another bar.

The bandage was still covering your eye. You looked down and spotted Zak. You didn't smile, however.

Bubbles: Seriously? He didn't even know he had powers then, right?

Zak shook his head.

Zak: Not as far as I know. I don't think cared. He's always been a bit fearless when it came to himself.

Bubbles looked at you for a moment. She realized that she didn't actually know much about your childhood. Only that you had lost your parents and that you lived with your grandparents.

The accident happened when you were 10, as far as she knew, and Liz was 6 years older than you. Now that you were 15, Liz would be 21. You only lived with your grandparents for 5 years.

That made sense.

But what were you doing in those five years? How did you become who you are now? How did you go from the quiet and depressed boy to being this charming and happy person?

Zak: Y/N has always been an enigma. A mystery to me. Even when we were kids. And trust me, that says a lot.

What was the true story?
------------
The ship landed outside of town so you wouldn't draw too much attention. You all decided to just sleep on the Airship rather than get a room at a hotel or something.

Though, the Airship did have a pretty nice showering system.

However.....

Mitch: I feel like I'm back in the locker room.

You all stood in your own shower areas and washed off. Walls blocked the view and the steam made it hard to even see. Plus, you were all pretty comfortable with yourselves to be embarrassed.

Zak: It was made like this to house a bunch of people. Like a crew and stuff. My dad figured it would be cheaper just to leave it like this.

Y/N: It works.

Courage even had his own area where he was washing his back. He wore his green shower cap and his rubber duck was slowly drifting away from him.

In the next room over, the girls took their showers in their shower rooms.

Bubbles: Wow. You really are an exact copy of my physically.

Brat: Stop staring at me!

Robin: Can someone pass me the shampoo?
------------
You laid in one of the guest beds with your phone next to your head. It was playing some of your music.

Mitch: Do you really have to listen to music to fall asleep?

You looked over to Mitch who was laying on the other bed. The room was a bit like a college dorm room. A small space with two beds and storage for your things. Though, you learned that Mitch just slept in his boxers.

A bit odd, but you weren't one to really judge.

Y/N: It's become a habit. I, uh, can't really sleep with it.

Mitch: Really? Why? When did that start?

You shifted a bit in your bed.

Y/N: When I was still living with my grandparents. It was shortly after the accident. All I would do is lay in bed and, uh, listen to music. That's actually why I'm shorter than you and Zak and Brick and Butch.

Mitch: You were malnourished.

He looked at you slightly concerned.

Mitch: Is that why you eat so much now?

You gave a hand motion. You dropped your hand back down.

Y/N: I was kinda surpised you wanted to share a room with me. I figured you'd want to be with Robin.

Mitch rolled his eyes.

Mitch: I don't even want her to be here. We don't know what we'll be facing at Lakeview.

Y/N: Guess you'll just have to keep her safe, Prince Charming.

Mitch shook his head.

Mitch: I'm supposed to be watching your back. I'm a Black Knight, after all.

You smiled a bit.

Y/N: Then, as your King, I command you to keep Robin safe. She's our medic now, you know.

Mitch just groaned and rolled over to go to sleep. You just laughed a bit as you closed your eyes.
------------
Brat stared at the wall. She was somehow both tired and restless. She wanted to get this all over with. She didn't like not knowing what was going on.

Bubbles: Psst. Brat. You awake?

Brat rolled over and looked at Bubbles. They ended up bunking together while Zak slept in his room and Robin got his parents'.

Brat: What?

Bubbles: I, just wanted to talk to someone.

Brat sighed.

Brat: Talk, then. I'm listening.

Bubbles smiled. She laid on her side so she could look at Brat. Brat just laid on her back and looked up at the roof.

Bubbles: Are you excited?

Brat: Why would I be excited? Why are you excited? You're cursed right now.

Bubbles: Yeah. But, being cursed is kind of....cool? I mean, it's like a fairy tale, right?

Brat: I don't read fairy tales.

Bubbles just smiled.

Bubbles: Maybe it's something like, "only true love's kiss can break the curse" or something.

Brat looked at her oddly.

Brat: And who is "true love" to you?

Bubbles pulled her blankets closer to herself.

Bubbles: Well.....I don't know. I guess I hope it's Y/N.

Brat scoffed. She then sat up and looked at Bubbles.

Brat: Why's that?

Bubbles: Because I like him. I mean, he's a great guy. He's nice and selfless. And he's always trying to do the right thing. He helped Dutchess when he had nothing to really gain from it. That, and he's going through all this trouble to help me. Even before I knew about his powers, he was always special in his own way.

Brat: You say that like I don't know.

Bubbles looked at Brat, then smirked.

Bubbles: Wait, do you like hi....

Brat: Go to bed.

Brat rolled back over and pulled the blanket over her head. Bubbles laughed to herself before she got comfortable again.

Brat couldn't slow her heart down. She hated it when this happened. She would think about you and how nice you were to her and she would just turn into a mess. She decided to get you out of her head and get some sleep.

After all, you had a long day ahead of you tomorrow.
