Hi everyone! This is a Boomercup Drabble for ConfomityisNonsense's Fandom Week. It is Boomercup week and today's prompt is 'Lose'!
Be sure to check out the calendar on the story called: 'Powerpuff Girls Fandom Calendar' by ConformityisNonsense. It's really fun to participate!
Somehow. She didn't know how it was even logically possible, but somehow it happened. And it happened quite a bit.
Soccer. Football. Volleyball. Baseball. Tennis. Even air hockey for goodness sake! No matter what sport or game Buttercup played with Boomer, she always lost to him. And it angered her off more than Butch touching her blanket.
He could probably beat her at cheerleading for all she knew. And video games. Oh she knew very well that Boomer could kick her behind at any video game. She once spent two months mastering the moves and such on a game he'd never played. The boy still beat her. Then he had the nerve to demand a kiss from her. 'Winner's wishes' he had said.
Today, Buttercup sat bored out of her mind, with three little green prawns safely in their home. Bubbles was losing, badly. All four of her yellow prawns were continuously sent back to start, after never once picking up a 'sorry' card. Boomer, who had viciously fought Bubbles for the blue prawns, was one 'number two card' away from winning. Just like Buttercup
The hope that she may win had faded just as quick as it came. She knew she wasn't going to win.
"You guys suck!" Bubbles pouted, as she picked up yet another card that wouldn't help her get out of start.
Buttercup lazily picked up a card and set it down, not even looking at it. "No Bubs, you just suck at this game… horribly." She peeked over at her boyfriend, who remained still. "Your turn Boomie" she said, nudging him in the side. But his eyes were glued to the stack of cards where she had placed hers. Following his gaze, Buttercup's lips slowly curled into a large grin.
'2'
That was the number on her card. The very number that would bring her to victory. She threw her arms in the air and began to shout, "OH YEAH! I DID IT! I BEAT YOU, YOU COCKY LITTLE JERK!" Blossom, Brick, and Butch flinched all at the same time from their seats on the couch, and Buttercup slammed her fourth green peg twice on the game board, landing it in 'Home'.
With her victory set in stone, Buttercup flipped the board high into the air. "Hey Boomer, guess what? I beat you!" she shouted. Boomer yelped as the collar of his shirt was gripped tightly and Buttercup brought him into a long kiss which completely confused him. When she pulled him away, Buttercup pressed her forehead to his and spoke with insanity clear as day in her voice, "Oops! That's all you get. You don't get any tonight! You know why, Boomie?! Because you're a loser!" In a burst of maniacal laughter, Buttercup vanished up to her room to celebrate some more.
Five stunned superpowered teens were left in the living room. Butch gazed at Boomer and smirked, "Ha! You don't get any-" Butch's teasing was cut short when the game board mysteriously fell from the air, knocking him out cold.
Bubbles glanced at Boomer, "Oh don't worry Boomer, she'll gloat for a few days and then be back to normal before you know it!"
Boomer smirked, his eye glued to the staircase, "Oh it's not that. I'm just trying to decide if I should go up and show her this…" Boomer peeled a sticker off of Buttercup's winning card, revealing a number '4'.
So the game was 'Sorry' if anyone isn't familiar with the game. and to add to the sweetness of Boomer's plan, a '4' in 'Sorry' actually makes you move 4 spaces back... :D
Review, and check out tomorrow's prompt and try to participate!
XOXO
