I'm sorry I haven't posted a story in over a year. I've been busy with life and all that jazz. I swear I've been constantly trying to come up with new stories but I always end up dropping them because I wasn't so pleased with where it was going. If any of you have something specific you want to read, feel free to send me ideas because I'm totally stuck right now.

This story was inspired by those au idea posts that are floating around on tumblr. The time of the story is taken place while the the girls and boys are college kids now. I have a weird habit of writing my characters to be around my age (although they are actually a little older than me here let's just say around twenty and twenty-one). This story also doesn't tie to any other of the PowerPuff stories I've posted. I will most likely state otherwise.

Ok I've talked too much. I'm so sorry oh god please enjoy. Please.

That Halloween Night

"Buttercup, are you really not going to the party?" I heard Blossom ask.

I sat up in my bed to see Blossom and Bubbles standing before me. Bubbles was wearing her complete Sailor Moon sailor scout cosplay she put together last year for one of the local conventions close to campus. Blossom was wearing her Neon Genesis Evangelion cosplay of Asuka in her plug suit.

"I thought I closed my door." I laid back in bed.

"Halloween doesn't normally happen on a Friday night. You won't have to worry about going to class the next day," Bubbles knelt beside my bed. She tugged on my hand. "You use to love Halloween."

"It's not about Halloween," I turned over to face away from them. "Mitch broke up with me."

"What? When?" Blossom sat on the bed next to me.

"After our three pm bio class." I took my pillow and covered my face in it.

"Come to this party Buttercup. You'll have fun, trust us." Bubbles hugged me.

I didn't pull away. Being comforted was nice but I couldn't stop being stubborn. "Boys are so fucking dumb." I talked into my pillow.

"Let's go to the party to have a good time. We'll treat you to some sweets after the party. If houses are still giving out candy we'll go trick-or-treating too," Blossom tried to convince me.

"But I don't have anything to wear to the party..."

"Don't you have your Shingeki no Kyojin Mikasa cosplay that you wore to the last con?" Bubbles got up to look through my closet.

I sat up again. "Yeah, but remember my wig got fucked up when I got into that fight with that asshole who was trying to look up Bubble's skirt?"

"It's fine. I'm not wearing my contacts for my Asuka cosplay. And besides, your hair is black and is the same length as Mikasa's," Blossom helped Bubbles put together my cosplay.

"Fine, fine. I'll go. But you guys have to help me with my belts." I got up to close the door and started to put everything on. Amazingly it took us ten minutes to put the belts on, which normal would takes us nearly thirty minutes. After Bubbles put my makeup on, we made our way to Blossom's car and left campus.

The car ride was pretty quite with the radio softly playing in the background. "Mr. Brightside" started playing and Blossom and Bubbles started singing along, encouraging me to sing with them. I gave in and sang with them. By the time the song was over, I felt great. I finally felt my night getting better.

We got to the location of the party. It was in a large house in one of those rich neighborhoods. It was also one of those neighborhoods that were great for trick-or-treating.

I quickly ran up to a house across the street with a small group of kids and took a big chocolate bar from the bowl. I threw it into the car before Blossom locked the doors.

We walked into the house. It was one of those parties with flashing lights and music playing so loud you have to scream to talk to the person next to you. We were greeted by the host who was this nice girl from Bubble's art class. I stayed close to Blossom and Bubbles as we made our way through the party.

"I honestly thought the party was going to be pretty calm like one of those parties where people eat rather than dance," I shouted to Bubbles as Blossom went to get us some drinks.

"I thought so too," Bubbles laughed.

Blossom came back with some punch for the three of us.

We stood away from the group of people dancing. I recognized a few people from campus but everyone else were either complete strangers or I couldn't recognized them through their costumes.

"Hey look, Mitch is here," Blossom said in a bitter tone. "He keeps looking at you."

I looked over to Mitch. He gave me a small smile and waved at me. Suddenly Princess came out of nowhere. She was all over him.

I wasn't happy to see him. I was definitely not happy to see him with any girl let alone Princess.

Mitch looked like he wanted to come over to talk.

"Screw him," Blossom took my hand and dragged me to another room in the house. She sensed I was getting angry.

We somehow ended up in a quiet room towards the back of the house. Everyone was sitting around just talking and having a good time.

Bubble's friend came in with an empty beer bottle. "Come on guys, let's play seven minutes in heaven."

Everyone began to gather up in a circle. Those who didn't want to participate left immediately, leaving a small group of people sitting in the room.

"I'm out," I began to walk away.

"Oh no you don't, Mikasa," Bubble's friend quickly grabbed my hand and sat me down. "I'll go first." She spun the bottle and it landed on some guy not wearing a costume. They went in for exactly seven minutes and both came out looking pretty happy. Bubble's friend sat back down next to me and handed me the bottle.

"You're kidding me. Isn't this like a high school game?" I looked at her with an unamused look.

"Just play," she smiled at me while handing me the bottle.

"Fine," I took the bottle and spun it. After a couple spins it landed on this guy who I assumed was cosplaying Nine from Zankyou no Terror because he was wearing what appeared to be a school uniform with a Power Ranger looking mask.

We both hesitantly got up and made our way towards the closet.

I turned back to Blossom and Bubbles and they just smiled at me. Bubble's mouthed, "good luck."

We got inside the cramped closet. I'm glad I decided not to wear my 3d maneuver gear or else we'd really be cramped. It was dark and quiet. I couldn't find the light switch. I heard the guy take off his mask. He seemed pretty calm.

"So," I broke the silence. "Should we kiss or something?"

"Sure," he whispered. His voice sounded familiar but I couldn't remember who it belonged to.

He gently caressed my face and brought it closer to his. He pressed his lips against mine. He had snake bites.

Butch?

I felt around his face. He had an eyebrow piercing. He also had multiple ear piercings.

He grabbed me around the waist and pulled my body closer as he pulled out of the kiss. "Buttercup, what are you doing?" He kissed me once again.

"Butch?"

"Hm?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Brick and Boomer dragged me along." He let go of me.

"What happened between you and Princess?"

"What happened between you and Brick?"

"We broke up." I tensed up.

"Yeah same here. I don't care though. I was just going out with her because she wanted to rebel against her dad. She paid me to go out with her." He laughed. "It was all for show. We never did anything."

"We didn't do anything either but I really liked his company, you know? We were going out for over half a year and we didn't kiss. You don't think the reason why we never did anything was because he liked Princess." I felt so angry. How the fuck did leave me for Princess?

"I'm sorry Buttercup."

"How could I have been so stupid?" I wanted to cry but not in front of Butch. Butch is a friend but I don't know why I didn't want to look so weak in front of him. I felt tears well up in my eyes.

He hugged me and I just broke down. I cried into his chest.

"I'm sorry," I apologized between sobs.

"Hey, it'll be alright. Stop crying. Let's get out of here," he handed me his mask. "Put this on so no one can tell you were crying."

He wiped my tears before I put it on. He grabbed my hand and led me out before our seven minutes ran out.

"Hey, it hasn't been seven minutes yet," Bubble's friend call out.

"Brick, Boomer, let's get out of here," we started walking out.

"Buttercup!" Blossom called me.

"You guys come too," he yelled over the crowed.

We were stopped by Princess.

"Hey Butch," she hugged him.

He held my hand firmly. "Princess, get out of my way."

"Oh, who's this you're with?" She looked over to me.

"My new girlfriend," Butch said bluntly.

"Girlfriend?" Princess and I asked simultaneously.

"Buttercup?" Mitch approached us. "You're with Butch now?" He laughed. "You slut, you couldn't wait to get a new boyfriend?"

I took off the mask. "Don't call me a—"

"Don't you dare call her a fucking slut," Butch let go of my hand and grabbed Mitch's shirt collar. "Listen here you little shit, how could you call yourself a boyfriend? Going out for half a year and you couldn't even kiss your own girlfriend? What? Are you fucking scared of getting cooties? Or were you scared of fucking commitment?" Butch shook Mitch.

I started laughing. Mitch really didn't treat me like his girlfriend at all. Butch was right. Why do I have to be all depressed over some piece of shit like Mitch. "Butch let's go," I smiled at him while grabbing his hand.

He let go of Mitch. "Are you sure? We can fuck him up right now." He was still pretty worked up.

"Not with all these witnesses," I held his hand. "Let's go."

"Hey, you stretched my shirt," Mitch shoved Butch.

Butch turned around and decked Mitch square in the face. Mitch stumbled backwards and held his bloody nose while Princess screamed.

"That felt great." Butch lead us out of the house.

"And now we can go," Boomer laughed.

The boys walked us to our car.

"Well you guys have been holding hands for quite some time now," Boomer teased.

After hearing that, neither of us let go.

"Yeah," Butch smiled at me.

"Do you guys want to get something to eat?" Brick asked.

"Lets go to that new boba place with the cute desserts near campus," Bubbles suggested.

Everyone agreed and we split up into the two cars.
