Tears streamed down our favorite pink PowerPuff's face. She couldn't believe what was happening. This couldn't be real, could it? To think that Brick, the most obnoxious and rude RowdyRuff in existence could—
Blossom's thoughts were cut off suddenly by her realization that this was, in fact, real. She stared at the man before her. He looked the same, wearing his classic red cap backwards with his wild hair sticking out in every which way. His clothes were casual- nothing too preppy like his brother, Boomer, but nothing too edgy like his other brother, Butch. Just classic, casual Brick clothes, full of warm colors like red and orange. He dressed the same as he always did. But something was different.
Something was very different.
His trademark smirk wasn't gracing his face. Instead, he wore a serious expression; his lips tightened into a thin line. He was trembling slightly, and Blossom could notice his hands shaking. His usually mischievous eyes looked nervous. Were those… tears? Was Brick, "the strongest, toughest RowdyRuff" (a quote made directly by Brick himself) crying? Blossom couldn't believe this.
"B-Brick…" she stuttered. Blossom, often considered the smartest of the PowerPuffs wasn't able to think of any words to say. She tried to remember English, but all she could think of was all of the events that had happened that night. Her brain couldn't process what was going on. This was too much. She knew this was real, but she never saw this coming.
Blossom and Brick had been dating for two years. They were awkward at first, especially with Blossom's sisters and Brick's brothers always teasing them about their relationship, but they eventually grew into a loving couple. Blossom was wise and kind, and Brick was impulsive and strong. Together, they created a perfect balance. Sure, Brick got on Blossom's nerves every so often, and Brick couldn't always understand what Blossom was saying, but they were perfect for each other. Brick had troubling saying "I love you", since he always tried to play himself off as an intimidating tough-guy, but Blossom knew that he truly did love and care about her.
But tonight everything changed. This was real. Tonight was wild from the start. It all started with the young couple going on a casual date in the city, when suddenly there was an attack. Blossom, being the super heroine she was, fought against the monster. Brick seemed angrier than usual that she went off to fight the monster instead of stay with him, but he ended up helping her destroy the monster. But then things got crazy.
Brick looked like he was desperate for the answer. His eyes were wide, and his cheeks were flushed. If Blossom was going to say anything, she should say it now.
"Brick… my answer is…"
Blossom's mind flashed with the night's events. What could have led to this happening?
Let's start at the very beginning… when Brick picked Blossom up at her house.
