Everything started out so perfectly on this Saturday for Bubble and her girls. First it was a trip into Manhattan then to Sotho with the quaint stores, all the so-called fashionable clothes finally they were just hanging out in the book and costume shops shopping, giggling and simply goofing on the people walking to and fro when suddenly there was a scream from a woman and Bubble could hear shouts of “Hey there he goes! Don’t let him get away! You there stop!” That were coming from the worthless beat cops. She was coming out of a store to meet up with Sharon and Marilyn to grab a bite to eat when her vampiric senses allowed her to locate the purse snatching slime wad running full force through the crowed street straight towards her! Oh no what will I do whoever stole that lady’s purse is coming straight towards me! She thought to herself setting down the multitude of bags and as the prick ran by Bubble thrust out her right arm; clothes lining the dickhead square in the Adams apple of his neck and he dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes! “Did yall enjoy your trip…I hear the concrete is lovely in the fall ha-hah-hah-ha!”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, real funny bitch…let’s see how funny yous think it is when you’re spittin up bullets!” The prick said picking himself up off the ground and pulling a 38 revolver from his pocket aiming straight between her eyes. This didn’t have the reaction that he desired which was for her to start screaming or do something to give him time to get away!!! Instead, she just stood there smirking at him like he was wearing a clown suit!!! “What’s the matter yous gotta death wish or somethin…get the fuck outta here!!”

“Oooooh oh no the bad man has a gun what’s Bubble gonna do!” Bubble cried sarcastically as suddenly she delivered a swift round house kick with her left leg cracking him square in the ribs. Then she struck again with a right jab straight to the nose taking great satisfaction and pleasure in hearing and feeling the crunch of his nose breaking then dropped him to the ground again with a left uppercut to the stomach. “Now then slick why don’t yall just stay down and save yourself a hell of a lot of embarrassment hmm?” She proceeded to bend down pick up the purse then place her left foot on his back as though he were a hunting trophy while he howled like a dying animal! Well, it’s about damn time these worthless cops showed up!!!

“Nice work ma’am but you really should leave catching criminals to professionals like us.” One of the beat cops stammered and panted while he and his roly poly partner finally showed up on the scene. Without so much as a word the roly poly man reached down grabbed the punk by his shirt collar and yanked him up so hard that Bubble nearly fell on her butt considering she still had her foot on the perp’s back!

Well, thanks so much for doing our jobs for us!! “Um you’re welcome and a warning would have been nice before ya tried knocking Bubble on her ass grabbing the scuzball.” She thought to herself and then sarcastically spat rolling her eyes.

“Oh, sorry didn’t know I’d be getting help from a fuckin mutant!!” The fatso cop angrily snarled back locking the perp’s arm in a vice-like grip behind the kid’s back. He stomped off towards the squad car not even bothering to wait for his fresh from the academy wet behind the ears partner. These goddamn freaks don’t deserve to fucking be breathing the same air as me…now I gotta take guff from um!! Boy, I tell ya this world is sure goin to hell in a fuckin hand basket!!!!

“Oh, thank goodness you’ve gotten my purse back! I can’t thank you kind officers enough for catching this horrible man and returning my Louis Vuitton purse!!” A ditsy blonde hair blue eyed woman came running down the street huffing and puffing all the way towards Bubble, the two officers and the man that they had in custody.

“Actually, ma’am the one responsible for his capture is this young lady over here!” The rookie cop said as he took off his police cap and ran his left hand through his hair. Ah geez would ya shut up already!! Look lady I just told you we weren’t the ones who got your god-damn purse back! He thought to himself as he began to follow his partner back towards the squad car completely ignoring the woman who was still babbling. Then much to Bubble’s relief the woman finally realized that there was no one listening to her and she stopped talking long enough to catch a glimpse of Bubble still holding the purse…her eyes became the size of dinner plates as she just stared at Bubble who was starting to get very, very, very creeped out by this strange ass woman!

“Ummm okay so here’s your purse back and yous can quit staring any time now…weirdo!!!” Bubble tossed the purse at the woman who deftly caught it with her right hand. As Bubble slowly picked her bags off the ground and turned to walk back up the street to meet up with Sharon and Marilyn as the blonde woman snapped out of her catatonic state.

“Excuse me miss, wait please…T-T-Tawny?” The woman called after Bubble causing her to freeze dead in her tracks!

No one has dared to call Bubble by that name s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-since!!!!!!!!!!! Bubble screamed to herself as she slowly turned around to bore a hole through the woman who had called her that! “Sorry lady you’ve got the wrong person!”

“I don’t think so…it’s been thirteen years but I’d recognize my own daughter.” The blonde said as she cautiously approached Bubble. All of a sudden, a black BMW roared up the street and stopped two inches from Bubble’s legs.

“Oops sorry, Madeline darling there you are what the hell where you thinking chasing after the police like that you could have been killed!” The man reproached the blonde not even bothering to check if he had hit Bubble or anyone else.

“Phillip look…i-i-i-it’s Tawny! She stopped the mugger and got my purse back for me!” Madeline cried quickly wiping the tears that were now streaming down her face away with the back of her left hand.

“Oh, Madeline no please not this nonsense again! We only have two children and their names are Tanya and Tyler!! Two children not three do you understand?!!!” Phillip stoically but emphatically stated not taking his eyes off of his wife for a minute. “Look now you’ve had a nasty scare but it’s all over so come along we’ll get you home then you can lie down, all right?” He put his arms around Madeline and firmly steered her towards the passenger side of the black BMW.

“Yes, Madeline run on home now and go lie down like a good little dog!! Geez Bubble thought mankind had come out of the dark ages already?!!!” Bubble sarcastically stated as she proceeded to walk up the street to meet her friends.

“Wait, Tawny stop; I know that you are Tawny!!! I would know you anywhere! Please don’t walk away from me…I don’t blame you for denying it but that is who you are!!!” Madeline shrieked pulling away from her husband and rushing towards Bubble.

“All right stop, just stop right there…that girl no longer exists!!! Tawny Andrews is dead; she died the day her so called parents dropped her off at a neighbor’s house, told her that they’d be back in a little while and NEVER returned!!!!” The emotional flood gates floodgates could no longer be held shut and everything that Bubble thought she had let go of so very long came rushing up and out as she began to rant and rave like a lunatic!

“How dare you shout at my wife…we appreciate your assistance in getting my Madeleine’s purse back but I won’t allow you to keep disrespecting her?!” Phillip sternly stated as he took Madeline firmly by the arm and stopped her from chasing after Bubble.

“How dare I shout at yo wife…aaawwww man Bubble knew that yous were a shmuck BUT I never figured you’d be this DEEP into denial!!!!” Bubble responded as she spun around so quickly it appeared to the untrained eye that she had disappeared and then reappeared out of thin air.

“Oh, for god’s sake Phillip stop!!! I should never have allowed you to get away with this!!” Madeleine shrieked wrenching her arm out of Phillips’ death grip and stormed away from him straight for Bubble. “You are Tawny and I can prove it…do you remember these?” She pulled something out of her purse and held it out for Bubble, and cautiously the girl snatched the papers from her. Bubble slowly unfolded the papers and started to look at them.

“Those are some real pretty pictures lady but they coulda been drawn by anyone…yer gunna have to do a hell of a lot better than this!” Bubble responded as she callously flung the drawings at Madeleine and turned to walk up the street. Tears were streaming down Madeleine’s face as she fell to her knees scrambling to pick the pictures before they were ruined.

“I know what that bastard did and tried to do to you!! Tawny, you defended yourself the only way that you could…it’s not your fault! You were still learning to control not only your fire magick but your mutant power as well; although I can’t blame you for wanting vengeance.” Madeleine stated as she rose from the street carefully folding the pictures and putting them back in her purse.

“Anything that happened to this daughter of yours can all be blamed on you!!!! YOUS were the ones that threw her away simply because she was born a mutant! Now Bubble is telling yall for the last time…you’ve got the wrong girl!!” She screamed turning a final time to face Madeleine; then she dematerialized into mist and was gone.

“Well, I sincerely hope that this is the absolute last time that I’m going to have to deal this foolishness Madeleine. Honestly where is your brain?!! Now I want you to get in the car NOW because we’re going home!!” Phillip shouted grabbing Madeleine with a vice-like grip and dragged her towards the BMW; they wouldn’t get very far before Madeleine dug her heels into the ground! “Madeleine don’t do this…you know you’re only making it worse by acting like this!”

“I’ve already told you Phillip; you’ll never silence me again!!! She has the right to know about her siblings and she has the right to know why she was abandoned!!” Madeleine shrieked wrenching her arm out of Phillip’s death grip. She disappeared within a cloud of sky-blue smoke; reappearing in her living room she stormed straight into the kitchen and pulled out a small cauldron. After filling it with water she slammed it down on the stove and started throwing herbs and various liquids in; suddenly the liquid within the cauldron started frothing and an eerie gurgling sound was heard throughout the kitchen!! Suddenly the liquid in the cauldron became a gel like consistency and it began oozing out of the cauldron!! “Oh, gawd what the hell have I done?!! Oh, great I-I think I might have just created something I might not be able to handle!” As the gel made its way to the floor it started to grow!! It soon began taking a human like form and it became as tall as Madeleine; soon a face appeared and when the mouth formed Madeleine was in for quite a shock!!

“Mistress how may I serve thee?” The gelatinous form solidified into
