Bubbles's POV

"Okay, class, today we will be working in partners!", Ms. Keane exclaimed. Buttercup rolled her eyes, but Blossom and I were excited. We'd never had partners before, it was a grown-up responsibility. Ms. Keane smiled at us all.

"Today's project will also include homework.", she says. The majority groans. I wonder who my partner will be?

"You are to find something interesting outside and write three sentences about it and bring it in.", she says. "Here are your partners. Mitch, you will be with Robin, Mike with Elmer, and..." She goes through, naming partners. Finally, the only people left were the Ruffs and us. Oh no... Was she really gonna...?

"Bubbles and Boomer, Blossom and Brick, and Buttercup and Butch.", she says.

"WHAT?", shriek Butch and Buttercup.

"No way!", Blossom and Brick yell.

"COOTIES!", Boomer screams. I frown. He thought I had... cooties? Ms. Keane frowns.

"You kids need to learn to coexist. You're in a symbiosis in class.", she says firmly.

"What?", I ask confusedly. Blossom turns to me, anger shining in her pink eyes.

"It means we have to work together, and we're not getting out of it.", she snaps.

"Let's just do it. It's not like we're getting married or anything.", I say later at recess. We were in a huddle. Buttercup gags.

"How could you even say anything like that?", she asks angrily. I roll my eyes at her.

"Yo Powderfluff Girls!", the boys yell, coming out of their own huddle and crossing the playground. Buttercup and Blossom cross their arms and and look at the boys.

"What?", Blossom snaps.

"Let's just start, okay?", Brick growls.

"Whatever.", Buttercup mutters, before she and Butch walked to a particularly muddy part of the playground, probably to find bugs, or...

"I think we should look for plants.", Blossom says.

"I don't care.", Brick says. Blossom rolls her eyes, and they head for the small garden we had planted as a class a few days ago. I look at Boomer.

"So what do you want to-", I begin, but he interrupts.

"Do whatever, just don't touch me! Brick says you girls have cooties!", he says fearfully. I sigh.

"Okay, sure. Just... meet me at the park later, okay?", I say, before walking over to Robin. Boomer sighs in relief and walks away.
