Hello. I have a lot of free time and I wanted to give "When Hell Froze Over" at least a day before I update it again. I looked at my Poll and saw That this was the top and I'm actually glad cause I wanted to introduce my own Ruff/Puff kids to the Fanfiction world.
I know it's boring, but I wanted give kind of a back story to my creation of Blaze, Blitz, and Berry. I wanted to stay in the lines of keeping the B names, but I wanted it to have material of who they were. Blaze and Berry was easy. Blaze being "Brilliant" and "Bright", plus you have the fact of his orange hair and red eyes. Berry was also easy, because of her double personality, you have good, sweet berries and then you have the bad, poisonous berries. Blitz was hard for me. I couldn't think of something that would fit her. Then I had a friend over who was listening to Techno music. She looked to me and said: "I love the Blitz that music gives me. It helps me feel calm. No matter what kind." I remember looking at her funny, because I never heard that expression. She laughed at me and started to explain. "I call it Blitz because it sounds like a crazy, yet relax saying. I made it up, you like it?" I chuckled and instantly asked if I could use it. So that's how Blitz was named.
Sorry, for that long boring story, but I look at the kids as my own... is that weird? O.o Anyway, I hope you like this story. I plan it to be a heart-warming, funny, family, romance. It is much happier than my other one. Hah. ^.^'
"Grandpa!" Berry yelled as Boomer carried her inside. She jumped down from her father's embrace and ran over to the elder man in his well 50's. The Professor knelt and caught his youngest grandchild in his arms. He chuckled as she gave him a bone-crushing hug. Balancing her on his right arm, he gave Boomer a hand-shake and hugged Bubbles.
"Happy-Late-Birthday, Berry!" The Professor cheered. Berry laughed, blushing softly.
"Hi, Daddy." Bubbles greeted. "Hi, Sandy." She greeted her mother. Sandy, also known as Sandra Keane, was The Professor's wife of 20 years. She had helped raise the girls, from the minute they stepped foot in her Kindergarten classroom.
"Hello, Dear." Sandy replied, wrapping her arms around Bubbles. She gave her a peck on the cheek as the separated. She then wrapped her arms around Boomer. "Hello, Boomer. Taking care of my young ones?" Sandy asked. Boomer nodded, wrapping an arm around Bubbles.
"Of course. You know these two have me wrapped around their fingers." He chuckled. Bubbles giggled, kissing his cheek. Berry outstretched her arms to Boomer, feeling left out of her father's affection. Boomer kissed her cheek and bounced her in his arms. She laughed uncontrollably, kissing him back. Bubbles smiled and lifted the plush octopus in her arms that she once held dear to her. Berry grabbed it and snuggled it against her cheek, laying her head on Boomer's shoulder.
"Happy Birthday, sweet heart." Sandy cooed, brushing a piece of hair out of Berry's face. Berry smiled hiding her face in Boomer's neck. The Professor grinned as he came by Sandy's side. Bubbles smiled with pride as she stared at her husband and daughter. "She's too cute." Sandy smiled.
"I know. Wasn't I blessed?" She replied affectionately.
"I'm proud of you, and of your sisters. You have all found happiness. All have beautiful children." The Professor complimented. A throat cleared in the doorway, gaining all of their attention. Blaze stood with confidence as he walked in.
"I'm handsome, Grandpa. Not Beautiful. Only girls are beautiful." Blaze stated. Berry giggled as she saw her cousin. Blitz came in behind him, calmly strolling in.
"I couldn't tell that you weren't a girl with all that hair you have." Blitz commented, giving him a smirk as she passed him. Blaze growled at her. She simply blew it off and gave both her grandparents a hug, before doing the same to her Uncle and Aunt. Boomer chuckled, while Bubbles try to stifle a laugh. Berry got down from Boomer and walked to her seething cousin.
"Don't worry, Blaze. I don't think you look like a boy." She smiled at him, holding Octi close to her chest. Blaze glanced at her, his expression softened. He brought Berry into a hug and sighed.
"Thanks, Bear-Bear. That's sweet of you to say." Berry beamed up at him. She then gasped excitingly, seeing her Aunt Blossom step in, her Uncle Brick close behind. She ran up to her and smiled brightly. blossom smiled back, picking her up.
"Hey, Berry. Golly look at you! You're so big. Didn't you have birthday the other day?" Blossom asked, knowing full well of the answer. Berry nodded anxiously. "How old are you now?"
"I'm six!" The girl cheered.
"Well dang." They suddenly heard a voice come from th door. Buttercup smiled at her niece and held out a bag. "My present is only for seven-year-olds and up. Oh well. Butch! we have to exchange the present!" Buttercup called out to her husband. Berry's eyes widened in horror as she reached out for the gift.
"NO!" She yelled, grabbing a hold of it. Buttercup laughed at her reaction, pleased that it turned out like the one's her mother gave at such a trick. Bubbles, knowing the feeling, glared at her older sister.
"Don't tease my baby like that." She scolded Buttercup. Laughing even harder now, Buttercup gave her a hug.
"I couldn't help it. Old habits die-hard." Buttercup chuckled. Blossom put down Berry and Brick gave her the present from the bot of them. Blitz went to her baby cousin and gave her a hug and kiss. Berry giggled, loving the attention. Butch walked in with a small, light blue bike, designed with daisies and training wheels. Berry gasped, tears coming to her eyes.
"I love it!" She screeched. She instantly tried to jump on it, ringing the bell on the right handle. "Daddy look! It's so pretty!" Berry gushed. Boomer laughed and nodded. He walked over to her, helping her balance on the seat. Brick shook his head as butch came over to greet them.
"Just had to overdo us." Brick chuckled. Butch laughed and shook his hand.
"Hey, Buttercup and I picked the Karaoke machine, Blitz is the one who chose the bike." He said, giving his daughter her credit. Blitz grinned proudly up at her uncle. Blaze fidgeted beside his mother with the small box that was hidden in his pocket. Bubbles noticed his uneasiness and became worried about her nephew.
"Blaze, are you okay?" Bubbles asked. Blossom, hearing her son's name. Blaze blushed when he realized he had caught their attention.
"Yeah." He replied. "I.. I have a present for Berry, but I don't know if she'll like it. It's hard to beat a bike." Blaze stated. Brick smacked Butch's arm.
"You made my boy feel uncomfortable about his gift." Brick whispered, not wanting Blaze to know they heard his insecurities. Blaze was a very confident boy, rarely ever self-conscious, but when his self-esteem was low, he didn't like anyone to be aware of it. Butch gave him an apologetic smile. Bubbles smiled at Blaze and giggled.
"She'll love it, especially if it comes from your heart." Bubbles reasoned. Blaze blushed a little more. He then nodded and approached his cousins. Blitz gave him a smug smile, refueling Blaze's competitive spirit to have a better present. Berry stopped short of ringing the bell. She tilted her head to the side, trying to see what the box was in his hand.
"Happy Birthday." He said, handing the box to her. Berry took off the top, a smile erupting on her face. She squealed in delight when her eyes laid upon the pretty necklace that was inside. It was a white gold chain, with a tiny bear. The bear held a heart in its hands that said "Berry" on it. Berry jumped from the bike, landing in Blaze's arms.
"Thank you!" She yelled. She then kissed his cheek and ran to Bubbles. "Mommy, look! It's a bear and it say my name!" Bubbles gasped, her eyes flashing to Blaze.
"It's beautiful. Here, let me put it on." Berry turned around and lifted her golden hair. Boomer patted Blaze on the shoulder.
"Great job." Boomer stated. Blaze beamed up at him and then turned to Blitz, sticking his tongue out. blitz replied in the same fashion, along with dragging the bottom skin of her right eye. Sandy clasped her hands together in delight.
"Okay. everyone. Now let's go into the kitchen for ice-cream and cake." Berry cheered, racing past her. Blitz and Blaze not far behind. The adults laughed at the children, following them in. "So," Sandy drawled out after they sang Happy Birthday and gotten cake and ice-cream. "Should I be expecting anymore grandchildren?" Buttercup coughed, Butch laughing. Blossom blushed as Brick smirked at her. Bubbles and Boomer only laughed. Blitz stuck her tongue out in disgust and popped a headphone in her ear. Blaze just shook his head, focusing on his cake. The Professor chuckled. berry seemed to be the only one excited of the idea.
"Ooh! I want a baby sister! Can I have one for my birthday?" She asked innocently, looking at her parents, who blushed in return. Everyone else laughed.
"I don't know. Butch and I have talked about it. With Blitz being already eight, I have been thinking of having another baby." Buttercup answered truthfully.
"So have we." Brick answered, laughing at his son's disturbed expression. Blossom nodded.
"I have craved a baby since Blaze turned nine. It would be nice to have an infant again." Blossom added.
"Boomer and I talked as well about it. I want a boy this time, though." Bubbles stated, putting Berry's hair up so that it wouldn't fall in her food. "Berry is such a Daddy's Girl. I want a Mommy's boy like Blaze." Bubbles said, not noticing the hue of pink that crossed Blaze's cheeks. Blitz laughed hysterically, pointing at him. Blossom only smiled, knowing that it was true. Sandy smiled, loving the image of more grandchildren.
"Well, I hope you do. I just love the cuties you pop out." Sandy laughed.
The family continued to talk and laugh with one another about recent things that were happening to them. The children, Mainly Blitz and Blaze, teased each other about their school lives. The girls helped clean off the table for Sandy, even when she tried to object. Bubbles took a wet rag and wiped off Berry's face and teasingly did so to Boomer. He simply smiled and kissed her softly. This caused Blitz to gag and Blaze to look away. Berry smiled brightly at her parents.
Suddenly the lights went off. Berry screeched and immediately yelled for Boomer. Sandy felt around the counter for one of her candles that she had. Brick helped by blowing a bit of fire on the candle, lighting it up. Berry calmed down as the dimmed light showed her that Boomer was only inches away. She whimpered as he picked her up in his arms.
"What happened?" Buttercup asked. She grabbed another candle, in which Brick lit up.
"I think a socket blew out. I will try to fix it. Brick, care to join me with your fire?" Brick nodded and followed The Professor out the kitchen. Boomer rubbed Berry's back, trying to calm her.
"It's okay, baby. Grandpa and Uncle Brick left to turn the light back on." Berry snuggled her face closer into his neck.
"I don't like the dark." She whimpered.
"I know, Sweet Heart, but Daddy's here. I won't let anything happen to you." He told her soothingly.
"What time is it?" Buttercup asked out loud. Blossom's phone lit up as she pressed the power button.
"It's 6:12." Blossom replied. About that time, footsteps could be heard. The Professor and Brick came back into the kitchen.
"The whole socket is fried and I have nothing to replce it. I won't be able to call an electrician until tomorrow morning." The Professor stated. "Luckily, we have a lot of candles and it's almost summer."
"We can stay with you, if you want?" Blossom suggested. Buttercup nodded.
"Us too."
"Ooh! A slumber party." Berry cheered.
"You don't mind the dark?" Boomer asked her. She shook her head quickly, clutching Octi to her body. He smiled and looked up to The Professor.
"We'll stay too." Sandy and The Professor smiled at them.
"We can sit in the living room, and if it's too cold, just turn on the fireplace. It'll be like camping but inside." Sandy suggested, gaining cheers from her grandchildren. She felt a tug on her dress and looked down to meet the bright blue eyes that belonged Berry. Sandy leaned down to hear what she wanted to say.
"Will there be bears in this camping trip?" She asked, taking the idea wildly in her imagination. Sandy giggled and nodded also whispering.
"Teddy the Snuggle Bear will be there with us." She answered. Berry giggled and went to grab Blitz's hand, who was standing by the kitchen table. "Alright then, let's get some more candles and some snacks and meet up in the living room." Berry followed Blitz and Blaze into the living room, as the adults grabbed the snack and candles.
"This was the best birthday ever." Berry smiled.
"I'm glad." Blitz grinned at her. Blaze also smiled at them, sitting in front of the couch. Soon enough, everyone was situated in the living room. Blaze was sitting in between his parents on the floor. Bubbles and Boomer were above them on the couch, Berry in Boomer's lap. Blitz was on the floor below her parents, who sat on the Lazy boy recliner, Buttercup sitting on Butch's lap. The Professor and Sandy sat on the loveseat. "So, what do people do on camping trips?" Blitz asked both her parents.
"Usually they tell stories." Brick replied.
"Let's tell stories. I want a fairytale!" Berry cheered. Bubbles and Boomer chuckled at their daughter.
"Ew gross." Blitz said then she smirked. "I want to hear a scary story." Berry pouted and glared at her older cousin's suggestion.
"How about family stories?" Blaze stated. He then looked up to Blossom. "You never told me how you guys met." Blossom smiled at him and then at Brick you returned the gesture. The Professor laughed, knowing all the goofy tales that were about to told.
"Excellent choice, Blaze." The Professor said. "Who's first?" Blossom and Brick raised their hands.
"This is the story of how your father and Uncles became the lovable men we all love." Blossom said looking down at Blaze.
So next chapter will be the first story. It's kind of like a bunch of One-shots, but they all go together. I tried to capture the family relationship as well as I could. R&R.
