(A.N) Hey, everyone! This is my first FF story, so enjoy, but don't forget to review!

Oh, and keep in mind that I'm new to FF, but I still have experience with writing, so my stories won't be as boring as you think. ;)

PS: In the intro, the Rowdyruff Boys aren't criminals, but they still have powers, and the Powerpuff Girls still fight crime, so they still have their powers. Each Powerpuff and Rowdyruff have many powers, but each of them also have their own special powers. Read to find out what they are!

Alright, enough with the Author's Note. XD Read and review!

Intro

Pokey Oaks Middle, Hallway

Blossom's POV

It was exactly three weeks before 7th grade was over, which meant finals were coming up.

I was heading to the library to study, with a large stack of books in my arms. In fact, the stack was so big, I couldn't see where I was going, so I ended up bumping into someone, and I fell, dropping my books to the floor.

Brick.

Out of all people in the school, I just HAD to run into Brick. Seriously?

You see, ever since 6th grade, I had a crush on Brick. So right now, I was trying to pick up my books, while blushing at the same time.

"Sorry, Blossom. Here, let me help you with your books," Brick offered.

"Thanks," I replied, trying to stop myself from blushing even more.

Brick and I were good friends back in 6th grade (We still are). Actually, all of my sisters and I are good friends with Brick and his brothers, otherwise known as the Rowdyruff Boys. But after Brick and I started talking more, I started feeling romantic emotions toward him. And I guess I can say the same for Bubbles and Buttercup, my sisters, but we all decided to keep our crushes secret. (-A.N- Bubbles X Boomer and Buttercup X Butch later in this chapter! (; )

"What were you carrying all those books for?" Brick asked.

"Oh, I was actually going to the library to study. You know, for finals."

Brick looked surprised. "Really? Because I was going to the library too."

"Oh, cool," I answered.

"... Do you mind if I study with you?"

I couldn't believe it. Brick was asking me if I wanted to study with him!

"O-of course you can study with me!" I know I stuttered a little, and I hoped Brick didn't notice.

"Cool. I'll carry some of those books for you," Brick said.

"Thanks!"

School Library

Brick's POV

I can't believe I actually had the guts to ask her that question! I thought.

In 6th grade, I started having a crush on Blossom. Actually, my brothers Boomer and Butch also have feelings for Bubbles and Buttercup, the three girls together known as the Powerpuff Girls, though the three of us never told anybody else. (-A.N- I know I'm getting to the romance part pretty quickly, but don't worry. The story's supposed to be that way. (; )

"So what are we going to study first?" Blossom asked.

"Well, I haven't been doing well in biology lately..." I told her.

"If you want, I can help you," she said.

"Alright."

For the next couple of hours, she helped me out with certain topics in biology that I was struggling in, and I understood everything she was explaining to me. I was actually amazed at how well she explains. She uses simple words so it isn't difficult for me to understand, and the few times I don't understand, she doesn't get mad or anything. She just repeats herself more slowly and makes sure I understand what she says.

"Thanks a lot," I thanked her after she finished helping me. I really learned a lot from her, and I was surprised at how smart she was. I mean, I knew she was smart all along, but... wow, this smart?

"You're welcome," she said with that cute smile of hers.

"Is there any subject that you're struggling in?" I asked, hoping I would get the chance to help her and impress her with my intelligence.

Just as I hoped, she said, "Actually, I do need a little help with science..."

So for the next two hours, I helped her with a few topics in science, and she seemed impressed that I knew so much about the subject.

Blossom's POV

I was honestly VERY impressed by how much Brick knew about science. After he helped me, we talked about our grades, what our favorite books were, and a bunch of other things. One thing we had in common was that we both excelled in math. We both got straight A's in math all the time.

Then, while we were talking, I accidentally dropped one of my textbooks.

"Heh, clumsy much? Just kidding Bloss, I'll pick it up for you."

"No, I'll get it," I said.

I reached down to get it, and after I got it, I pulled myself back up, and found myself looking into Brick's intense, deep red eyes.

They're so... deep... and beautiful...

And before I knew it, Brick leaned in, his lips touched mine, and we both kissed.

Townsville Lake

Bubbles' POV

After school, I flew to the place I always go to after school or after fighting a crime; the Townsville Lake. Whether it's to relax or just enjoy the cool breeze, the lake always makes me feel happy.

I was lying down on the grass, closing my eyes and enjoying the wind, when I heard a male voice coming from behind me.

"Hey, Bubbs," the voice said.

I quickly sat up. I recognized that voice right away. It was the voice of my crush: Boomer Jojo.

I turned around to look at him and greeted him.

"B-Boomer! What are you doing here?" I asked him, and I felt my face turn red.

"I always come here. Y'know, to enjoy the water and the breeze," he said, and that surprised me.

"I do too! But wait... If you come here every day, why don't I ever see you?"

"Oh, it's because I usually hang out over on the other side of the lake, and because I come later. In the evening."

"Oh, that makes sense."

There was an awkward silence, but Boomer broke the silence.

"Hey..."

"Yeah?"

"... Can I sit with you?"

He asked me if he can sit with me! EEEEEEEEEE! But I hid my excitement and just said one simple word to him:

"Sure."

He sat down, and we talked about a lot of different things, but what really surprised me is how much we have in common. We both love to swim, and he challenged me to a swimming race. It was a tie, but I was really impressed at how good he was, and I could tell he was impressed too. We both also loved art and the outdoors, but one thing really surprised me: water seemed to make both of us happy and calm. He said whenever he was stressed or tired, he would come here to the lake, and that he just felt better being around water; just like me.

Boomer's POV

"Wow, Bubbles... I never knew we had that much in common," I said after we finished talking.

"Yeah, me neither," she answered.

And then, she scooted over and sat closer to me. And somehow, that made me feel... better. Safer. It just felt right to be close to her. I felt my cheeks turn red.

Yes, I liked her. But right now, this feeling felt like more than just that. I felt... love.

I loved her.

Then, my hand slowly went to touch hers.

We turned to look at each other, and our eyes met.

And slowly, slowly... we leaned in, still holding hands, and we kissed.

Buttercup's POV

It was nearly evening, and a cool breeze was blowing outside, so I decided to head out.

I grabbed my skateboard and skateboarded all the way to a small area with ramps, railings, and other skateboarding obstacles.

No, this wasn't the local skateboarding park. This was an area I found on my own while I was flying around town one day. So now, I come by here to skate and chill.

I was practicing a couple of tricks, and when I was done, I went to sit down and relax on the bench, but there was already another person sitting on it.

No. It can't be.

I walked closer to the person sitting on the bench, and the person was a boy. A teenage boy from my 7th grade class.

Butch.

What the fuck is Butch doing here? How did he even find this place?

"Ah hell, what are you doing here, Butch?" I asked.

I wasn't cursing because I hated him. It was exactly the opposite, actually. I liked him. And also, because it was in my nature. But mostly because I liked him.

Butch looked up at me.

"Oh, it's you, Butterface," he teased with a smirk. That's his nickname for me. Butterface. And I really hated it.

"You didn't answer my question, jerkface," I said back to him. "What are you doing here?"

"I just found it while I was flying around a couple days ago," He answered.

"Whatever. Just get out of the seat so I can sit down," I said.

"Why can't you just sit down next to me? … Or does your big butt take up too much space to share a bench with anyone else?" he teased again with another one of his smirks.

"Really funny, asshole. Now I suggest you cut it out with the teasing unless you want to get a serious beatdown," I said coldly.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop," he said.

I sat down next to him.

After a few moments of awkward silence, he asked me a question.

"Hey, BC, you alright? Usually when I tease you, you react much tougher than that."

"Sorry, Butch. I just... haven't had any good skateboarders to skate with in a while. My sisters are too scared to skateboard."

"Well, I'm pretty good at skateboarding. If you want, we can have a skateboarding competition."

I was really glad he said that. I didn't expect him to say anything like that, but I couldn't deny it.

"Sure!"

"Great! Let's see what you've got... Butterface!"

"Bring it, jerkface!"

Butch's POV

Buttercup and I performed our best tricks, but a few minutes later, I crashed.

"Ha, that's what you call a good skateboarder, Butch?" Buttercup laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I challenge you to a skateboarding race! Three laps around the area!" I said, a little upset that I lost.

"Alright... one more thing for me to beat you at!" she said with a smirk on her face.

"We'll see about that..."

We skated around the area three times, and I won!

"Ha! Who's the winner now?" I exclaimed triumphantly.

"Ah, who gives a shit. It's just a stupid race." she muttered.

"Yeah... a race I beat you at!"

"Shut the fuck up, Butch," she said with a slight smile.

Wait... smile? Buttercup NEVER smiles! And I mean NEVER!

I ran to Buttercup and sat next to her on the bench.

"Hey, Buttercup, did you just SMILE back there?" I asked her. I was really confused.

"Yeah. Why?"

"You NEVER smile!"

"Well... you really are a good skateboarder. I was really impressed. I never skated against anyone like you."

Her compliment made my cheeks turn red.

"Well, you have really amazing skills. I was impressed too," I admitted. And I wasn't lying.

"Thanks," she said.

When I looked up at her, her cheeks were pink. She was blushing! Wait, does Buttercup like me back?

I looked into her bright green eyes, and she stared into my dark green ones. I suddenly got this feeling. As I looked deeper into her eyes, I realized what this feeling was.

Love.

I didn't like her anymore. I was in love with her. And it felt completely right.

Slowly, I closed my eyes, leaned in, and we kissed. And it was amazing.

The next day

Pokey Oaks Middle, Homeroom

Bubbles' POV

I went to my table (at Pokey Oaks Middle, we sit in tables), put down my things, and sat down with my sisters and our best friend, Lily.

Lily was Blossom's, Buttercup's, and my best friend. She's the one person we came to trust. She's sweet, nice, caring, and she's like an angel.

Suddenly, I felt something small hit me in the back. I turned around and picked up a crumpled paper ball. I looked around to find who threw it. Then I spotted the Rowdyruff Boys waving at us.

Of course.

I turned to my sisters and told them to look at the boys. The three of us waved back.

I shook my head. Those boys.

Then Lily cleared her throat, which got me and the girls' attention.

"Not all of us have boyfriends to wave to... which is making me feel left out," she said.

"Sorry," we apologized.

But I was SO happy that Boomer and I were dating! It took everything just to keep myself from squealing of joy!

And I could tell that Blossom and Buttercup were happy with their boyfriends too. Blossom kept batting her eyelashes at Brick. And Buttercup kept passing notes to Butch. They were probably teasing each other again, like they always do.

Before Lunch

Pokey Oaks Middle, Hallway

Brick's POV

I was walking to lunch with my brothers, when Lily came in our way.

"Great, it's you. What do you want?" Butch asked her, annoyed.

My brothers and I hated Lily, although we never told the Powerpuff Girls. We didn't want them to know that we hate their best friend, but we had a reason to hate her.

Because she hated us.

Ever since 6th grade, she started to throw us insults, get us in trouble, and even physically hurt us. (You know, punching, kicking, all that.) Last year, Lily even threw Boomer at a wall, and he almost broke his back. And trust me, there were a lot more events like that. A lot more.

That girl was tough. Tough and evil.

"I just wanted to tell you guys that you're a bunch of fucking dicks," she said coldly.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID WE EVER DO TO YOU!" I suddenly bursted out.

My brothers and I've been asking that same question in our heads ever since 6th grade. We never did anything to her, but then she started causing us all kinds of trouble.

Lily opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Blossom and her sisters.

"Hey, Lily. What are you doing here with the boys?" Blossom asked.

"Oh, nothing much. Just talk," she replied in an innocent voice.

But she's not really the "innocent person" the Powerpuff Girls think she is, that's for sure.

"Okay. Anyways, we should get going. We're going to be late for lunch," Blossom said.

"Hey, Boomer, are you and your brothers going to come with us?" Bubbles asked.

"In a bit, Bubbles," I answered for Boomer. "We have something to talk about."

After the girls left, I talked with my brothers for a while.

"I just don't get it," I said to Boomer and Butch. "What did we ever do to her?"

"I dunno. You have any idea, Boomer?" Butch asked his blue-eyed brother.

"No," Boomer answered. "But I just realized something."

"What?" I asked.

"She called us 'fucking dicks'."

"Yeah, we know," Butch said. "And...?"

"She never cursed at us before," Boomer said, and I suddenly realized that this was true.

This was the first time she actually cursed at us.

Even though Lily insulted us, she never actually cursed at us before. Usually, it was just plain insults, like 'You're retarded.' Or 'You're the most stupid people I've ever met.' But just a few minutes ago, she cursed at us.

"Whatever we did, we must have really pissed her off," Butch said.

"No, Butch. We didn't do anything," I reminded him.

"Yeah, we didn't do a thing to her. I just don't get why she's bothering us," Boomer said.

"I guess that's something we'll never know," I said.

Then, just as Lily was about to enter the cafeteria down the hall, I saw her glaring at us. And my brothers and I glared back at her. She stuck out her middle finger at us.

Damn, we hated that girl.

Pokey Oaks Middle, Cafeteria

Butch's POV

My brothers and I each got a slice of pepperoni pizza and sat down with the girls and with... Lily. Blech. Just thinking about her name makes me want to throw up.

The girls just talked to each other, but throughout the whole lunch period, my brothers and I didn't even bother trying to listen to what they were saying. We were glaring at Lily. And she was glaring at us.

After School

Behind the Pokey Oaks Middle School Building

Boomer's POV

My brothers and I always hang out behind the Pokey Oaks Middle School building for a while before we head home.

Brick was reading a book, Butch was writing on the wall with a Sharpie marker, and I was sitting up in a tree, when who happens to come around the corner and join us but Lily Jones.

"Oh shit, it's Lily," Brick groaned.

"Yeah, that's me. What, do you have a problem with me, asshole?" Lily growled at Brick.

"Yeah, actually, I do," Brick replied.

Lily glared.

"Oh, you asked for it, you fucking dick."

Before Brick could react, Lily kicked him in the stomach, and he fell to the ground. Then, before Brick could even get the chance to get back up, she punched his forehead and the back of his head hit the wall behind him. HARD. Brick fell to the floor, unconscious.

I gasped and jumped down from the tree I was sitting in to go help Brick. Butch was literally burning with rage. I could see the fire burning intensely inside of him.

Butch's POV

I was burning. That fucking little bitch just beat up my brother and made him unconscious. I couldn't believe it. She was going to get it.

"YOU BITCH! YOU FUCKING BITCH!" I screamed at her at the top of my lungs.

I dashed at her at an extreme speed to tackle her (she knows the Powerpuff Girls and my brothers and I have powers. The girls told her.), but she just simply stepped out of the way, and I crashed into the tree behind her.

I wasn't unconscious, but it hurt. A LOT.

Oh, bitch, if only you knew what my electricity can do to you...

The Powerpuff Girls told Lily about our powers, but there was one thing they didn't tell her: We each had our own special powers. And electricity was me and Buttercup's special power. (-A.N- PS: Each Powerpuff and Rowdyruff do have their own special powers, but they share it with their counterpart.)

But I didn't electrify her. I didn't get the chance. She pinned me to the ground and I couldn't move. Then, she picked me up by my shirt and threw me towards the wall. I hit the wall headfirst, and then I went unconscious.

Boomer's POV

I couldn't believe it. She knocked out both of my brothers! And since I was the weakest of the three, I knew I had no chance of beating her, and I didn't want to wash her away with my water power. (-A.N- Water– Boomer and Bubbles' special!) I knew I had to keep my special power secret from her.

Suddenly, she ran towards me, grabbed me, and threw me to a nearby tree. I fell to the floor, and laid still.

No, I wasn't knocked out. But I was pretending to be. It was the smartest thing I could think of. If I did get back up, she would knock me out, so to avoid becoming unconscious, I just laid there, and didn't move a muscle.

Soon, Lily was out of sight, so I quickly got up, picked up both of my brothers, and flew straight home.

The Rowdyruff Boys' Home

I took Brick and Butch to my room and gently laid them down on my bed. And I waited.

An hour later

Brick's POV

I wake up and find myself in a dark blue room.

Boomer's room.

I sat up and looked around, and I saw Boomer reading a book. When he saw me, he looked so happy. He smiled and ran to me.

"I'm so glad you're all right!" he exclaimed. "How do you feel?"

"I feel fine," I answered him.

Then, I heard a mumble. I turned around, and saw Butch lying down next to me on the bed.

Then, Butch opened his eyes.

"What the hell? What am I doing in Boomer's room? What happened to me?" he asked.

"We got knocked out by Lily, remember?" I reminded him. But at the same time I said that, I was burning inside. That bitch knocked us out.

"Oh yeah... I hate that fucking bitch..." Butch growled.

"Hey, Boomer, did she make you unconscious, too?" I asked him.

"No, but I pretended I was knocked out. After that, she just left," he explained.

"Nice one, bro. That was a smart move," I complimented him.

"Thanks."

"But I'm really pissed that she actually beat us like that," I said. "I could have burned her to ashes right there." (-A.N- Fire- Brick and Blossom's special!)

"Yeah, but then she would know about your special power," Butch reminded me.

"Right, right..." I remembered.

After a short silence, I spoke.

"I hate her more than ever, now. She nearly killed us all. She's a sick bitch. She's..."

Everything goes silent again.

"She's going to get it, and she's going to get it good," I finished.

Boomer and Butch nodded in agreement.

Three days later

Pokey Oaks Middle, Homeroom

Blossom's POV

I sat down at my usual table, with Bubbles, Buttercup and... Lily... only... Lily wasn't there.

"Hey, girls, where's Lily?" I asked my sisters.

"I dunno, she hasn't come yet," Buttercup answered.

"But... she's NEVER late to class!" Bubbles exclaimed.

This was true. Lily has never been absent or late to school. Not even once.

"Don't worry, girls. She's probably just sick or something," I said, trying to reassure Bubbles. "I'm sure she'll come to school tomorrow.

Three days later

Pokey Oaks Middle, Cafeteria

It's been three days, and Lily never came to school, and my sisters and I were getting worried.

"What if... what if something terrible happened to her!" Bubbles cried.

"Nothing terrible happened to her! Don't worry!" I exclaimed, trying to calm Bubbles down, although I wasn't even so sure myself.

No one's EVER absent for this long... I wonder what happened...

"Hey, have you guys seen the Rowdyruff Boys lately?" Buttercup asked, tearing me away from my thoughts.

I glanced around the table, but the boys weren't there.

"That's strange... they always sit with us..." Bubbles said, sounding even more worried.

"Actually, I haven't seen them in two days..." I said. I was getting really worried.

Something's wrong, and I'm going to find out what.

The next day

Pokey Oaks Middle, Homeroom

I looked around the classroom right when I walked in. So did Bubbles and Buttercup.

We couldn't find any sign of Lily or the Rowdyruff Boys anywhere.

Suddenly, our teacher got a call from the principal. After a few minutes of talking, she hung up and told the class that she had some news for us.

Oh no, this can't be good...

"Class... you may have been wondering why Lily hasn't been showing up lately..."

No, no, no, no...

"That's because... she..."

No, don't say it! Don't!

"... She's been murdered."

Bubbles and I burst into tears, and Buttercup let a couple of tears flow down her cheeks.

This can't be... She can't be...

I hugged my sisters tightly as I cried out every single tear I had inside of me. This can't be.

The teacher continued. "We don't know who the murderer is, but the police found her body and told Lily's parents, who told the principal, who told me... and now I am telling you. And the principal and I were heartbroken when we received the devastating news..."

I couldn't hear anything the teacher said after that. My feelings consumed me, and I felt a variety of emotions:

Depression. Confusion. Sadness. Heartbreak.

But there was one emotion that suddenly blocked out all other emotions:

Rage.

Then, the darkness consumed me, and one thought took over my mind:

I'll find the murderer. I'll find them, and when I do... they're going to get it.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Who is the murderer? What happened to the Rowdyruff Boys? And will their sudden disappearance affect their relationship with the Powerpuff Girls?

These questions and more will be answered as chapters are added!

I'll be working on the chapters!

But in the meantime... here's a question for you to answer:

Which "date" did you like most?

Blossom X Brick

Bubbles X Boomer

or

Buttercup X Butch?

Leave your answer in a review!

PS: Sorry the intro was really long... But it's supposed to be that way for the story to flow!

See you! (; 3
