~~~~~Normal P.O.V~~~~~~
It was a normal evening in Townsvillie... well for Buttercup and Butch that is. On the weekdays the two had been fighting a lot more than usual so it had become a regular "thing" for them. Buttercup was taking her regular patrol around Townsville (Blossom's orders) and she was almost finished when Butch appeared.
~~~~ Butch's P.O.V ~~~~
Buttercup was patrolling Townsville. Probably ordered by Blossom again, heh. She was flying close to the ground around the East end looking in alley-ways for trouble. I knew this was her "sweep" before going home because I'd watched her do it again and again. Today, I had decided to appear when she was done everything.
"Hey Buttermilk," I said while leaning against a streetlight.
She stoped and didn't look or sound shocked at the sound of my voice, she just crossed her arms and said "You again?"
"Did you miss me?" I asked.
"As if," she rolled her eyes.
"Mmmm, I think you did," I said.
She sighed. "Look, let's just make this quick. I'm late with this patrol thing and I have to get back home."
I laughed.
"What?" She said sternly.
"Your like a watch dog, always patroling Townsville. Nothing really happens while your doing it anyways," I said.
"The only reason why you know that is because your always stalking me," She didn't look very amused.
Dammit. How was I supposed to respond to that? Wait! I've got it...
"Because your the only person worth fighting,"
Shit... That wasn't a good response.
"Still, it doesn't explain the stalking part," She said. "But I really don't care right now, let's just get this over with,"
"Ladies first?" I cocked an eyebrow.
"Does that mean you make the first move?" She smiled while saying it that time.
Damn. She was really on the ball with comebacks today. Why the hell couldn't I think of a decent one?
"Heh, very funny Sugar but yo-"
"Spice actually," She interrupted me.
"What?" I said.
"It's not 'Sugar' It's Spice," she said smiling.
Screw conversation.
I made the first move. I shot at her with my heat vision but she dodged it. She ran towards me, picked me up and tossed me towards a fire hydrant.
She kneeled down to my level. "A little off guard today?" She asked while smiling.
I mumbled to myself.
"BUTTERCUP! YOU DONE YET? YOU'RE LATE," We both heard Blossom with our super hearing.
"Well. That's my signal to go. You might as well just give up so you don't get hurt again," She said.
She's such a hardass sometimes... The next thing I did was crazy and honestly, I don't know why I did it. She stood up and I grabbed her hand.
Still holding onto her hand, we both just stood there for 5 seconds. She ripped her hand out of my grasp.
"What the hell?" I think she blushed a little... just a little.
"BUTTERCUP!" We both heard Blossom again.
She just flew away, without saying anything. I noticed she flew really fast. That's when something hit me. Like a pile of Bricks or one of Buttercup's super punches. I stood up.
"Oh Buttermilk... if you think I'm off guard today. Just wait until Monday,"
~~~~~ Buttercups P.O.V ~~~~~~~~
Blossom was staring to irritate me... but that definetly didn't match Butch's irritation.
I was flying home thinking about what had just happened. He grabbed my hand... Why did he do that?
"UGH! Just don't think about it!" I said outloud.
I flew down to the steps of my house opened the door to be greeted by Blossom and Bubbles.
"Don't think about what?" Bubbles asked.
"What?" I asked. "Oh, nothing."
"Anyways... your usually late all the time.. care to explain why?" Blossom raised an eyebrow.
"I'm only like 15 minutes late, it's not really a big deal,"
"Yesterday was 20 minutes," Bubbles added.
"Wow, an extra 5 minutes." I shot back.
"Okay," Blossom looked at me questioningly.
"... If you must know, I was taking care of some unfinished business with 'crime'," I said.
"Why didn't you call us over?" Bubbles asked.
"Look guys, It was a couple of robbers by the icecream shop, okay?" I lied.
"Oh, well then why did you sound so defensive about it?" Blossom questioned me like I was doing something wrong.
"Because! I don't need your guy's help for that! If I would have mentioned something you might always be on my back. I don't need someone following me," I said.
"And everyday these 'robbers' have been showing up?" Blossom said.
"No.. Well, yes. I think they're all apart of the same gang. The first day I was late was because I was just bored so I was walking... and Tuesday to today I was catching them and taking them to the police station," I tried to say it like it really happened.
Blossom smiled. "Okay then,"
She went back up to her room. Thank God none of us shared one of those anymore.
"So how many of them were there today?" Bubbles asked.
"Oh, uh... 4. A girl and 3 guys," I said.
"Age range?" Bubbles kept asking questions.
"Oh, I don't know. Does that really matter?" I spat.
"Nah, I was just wondering. When I'm on patrol, I just keep seeing this guy walking, and it's the same guy everytime... He only comes out when it's dark... It's kind of weird,"
"How do you know it was a guy?" It was my turn to ask a question.
"I can tell." Bubbles said.
I sighed. And with that, I went up to my own room.
He... touched my hand... Why did that idiot do that! What right does he have.. "Okay, calm down," I said to myself. He was probably just trying to mess with me. I was tired, so I changed into my pajams, shut off the lights, grabbed my Ipod, put my headphones in my ears and fell asleep.
