A/N: This should probably be considered a prologue for a bigger fic, but it's still in the beginning stages, so updates will be slow. In general, it's definitely going to be a BC/Bubs sisterly bonding story because I don't think there's enough! I thought posting this would motivate me to do something with the story. It's grossly in first person, but I don't plan on that being the pov the whole time. Let me know what you think!
When we were little, maybe around seven or so, we were still just itsy-bitsy little cuties (not accounting for Buttercup though, she was kind of gross) and there was this movie. And oh my gosh, did we bug the Professor to go see it.
I can't even remember the name, it really wasn't that good—bit too loud and action-y, and the romantic sub-plot was really subpar. Anyway, spoilers, but the big twist was that the good guy was really the bad guy. It had been super predictable according to Blossom, but I had thought they had done a pretty good job! I was sure surprised! It had got me thinking, who'd it be out of the three of us?
It then became a fun little game for me and Blossom that we'd sometimes giggle about. Usually, we'd agree on Buttercup. And that made her soooo mad. Like blotchy red faced, I'm-telling-the-Professor mad, which was nice leverage 'cause she always was picking on me about being girly or too much of a baby, so if she made me mad I'd just go:
"You're the evil triplet, meanie!"
And she'd go sniffing to the Professor:
"Professor! Bubbles said it again! She said it again! I'm not evil!"
So anyway, one time she swore it wouldn't be her. She said it'd be me. Me! Something about a crazy deadly underlying temper or whatever. She was totally silly thinking that. When I get angry it's usually totally justified.
Like sure, maybe I get a little too defensive about things, but that was every once in a blue moon! I've always prided myself on being very in touch with my emotions and I've always been able to positively express them, so compared to Buttercup's constant state of rage during puberty, me snapping a few times is like nothing.
Besides, I'm just too sweet! A little too sweet is what Butters would say, but she's just jealous and really bad at counter arguments that don't involve her fists. I mean she's calmed down a ton since fourteen, but even today Butters is super aggressive and witty, a little cocky, and can hold a grudge like no one else. A perfect mixture for a bad guy, right?
She's walked the fine line plenty of times before, way more then myself for sure!
Anyhow, I know I really shouldn't be thinking about some kiddy debate in my head right now, being in the midst of a battle and all, but it's relevant! I suppose I had played the bad guy game for so long, nothing about today and the current situation was surprising. In a weird way, I guess, I must have been preparing for this on some sort of subconscious level, with the three of us fighting this way. The ominous red fog and the group of villains surrounding us also didn't feel so flabbergasting.
Per usual, my sisters were yelling at each other, but it was mostly Buttercup, who was desperately pleading with Blossom to join her. I had tried zipping over to get closer, but Blossom had shot me a warning glare before darting her eyes back to Buttercup and the bad guys that stood behind her.
Buttercup's begging fell on deaf ears, again, like it had the bajillion other times we had been in this situation. Which meant I needed to get the heck out of here with my sister in tow, because those other guys were definitely closing in. I had to work fast, which wouldn't be too huge of an issue, but I couldn't stop thinking about the game we used to play.
I guess I'm just a little peeved is all because I had been wrong about the evil triplet thing.
"Please Bloss! Please just come home!" Buttercup shouted still effectively blocking Blossom from the larger group of enemies.
In the end, the evil triplet wasn't Buttercup!
"Home?" Blossom spit, "We don't have a home Buttercup. We haven't had one in three years!"
Instead, welp, it was actually Blossom!
But in my defense, I really don't think anyone saw that coming.
