(A/N: Hey guys its me Creampielover I know it's been a while and your all expecting a new My Life as a Rock star but after some extensive writers block I thought id write something new! So without further ado let the stories begin! )
General P.O.V
Over the years, life in Townsville had slowly begun to dull. At the start the girls fought crime nearly everyday but as they became older finding time for both studies and crime fighting became increasingly difficult. And so in an effort to create some desperately needed help the Professor created a fourth Powerpuff girl. Blaze.
With their new sister and comrade in the fight against evil the girls expelled almost all evildoers from Townsville, Keyword here being almost. Mojo jojo rebelled once again with his own creation a fourth Rowdyruff boy. Blade.
After much fighting and squabbling over the years eventually the boys gave up their part in the crime world of Townsville (Much to Mojo's dismay), going to live with their adoptive mother Ms. Sarah Bellum.
However as reparation for their many, MANY crimes against the city the boys were required to complete 500 hours of community service all overseen by non other than The Powerpuff Girls, much to their distaste.
Which brings us to bright and early Saturday morning at Pokey Oaks County Library where our favorite teens can be found.
At 16 both Rowdyruff and Powerpuff had flourished into diligent (well most of the time) teenagers. Blossom had left her hair as it was for the most part, ditching her comically large bow in the 4th grade and replacing it with an elegant red ribbon. Her fiery red hair was as long as ever and with out ribbon holding it back reached below her butt. Her skin was a creamy sort of pale from her many hours spent indoors participating in her father's experiments and reading. Rose pink eyes and delicate curves Blossom was a true vision off Beauty.
She remained with her natural born leader attitude and excelled academically. She was most likely to succeed 3 years running.
Brick had remained the same in most ways with his rash and nonchalant attitude. Even after relinquishing his role in the Crime world Brick still had an array of skills under his own belt. His hair remained in the same style as always-small ponytail and his famed red baseball cap. In height he was pretty average 5'10 lean and muscular. Ever the lover of competition Brick worked hard in his school career even while still technically a villain he and His brothers attended high school. Brick found a persistent joy in competing with Blossom in many ways she was the only one came any where close to his standards.
Buttercup stayed stubborn and resilient as always but with a much different perspective on life. Her raven black hair stayed choppy and short as usual and was almost always uncombed. She had many piercings up and down her ears and one on her naval that thankfully the Professor didn't know about. Her skin was tan from her many hours spent under the hot sun doing god knows what.
She had shed her boyish looks and had grown into a fairly beautiful young woman with generous curves and flawless skin. Still however Buttercup remained comfortable in baggy pants and graphic tees despite Bubbles and Blazes best efforts. Never one very content with just sitting around doing nothing Buttercup dedicated her time to a wide range of different activities. She was master in 4 different martial arts, Kickboxing Champion, Soccer prodigy and that was only the tip of the iceberg. Buttercup did well in school most of the time but she does still have quite the track record when it comes to detentions. Yet over the years she had come truly understand the meaning of Zen. While still foulmouthed and feisty she could now manage her anger… well with everyone but Butch.
Butch had most likely changed the least. He still enjoyed the perils of battle as if it were a fun game not to be taken seriously, Constantly finding himself in trouble Butch was never one to shy away from a challenge. His scruffy black hair was still spiked but now shagged and hung in front of his face. His twitch had miraculously disappeared for the most part but when he became truly agitated if one looked very closely they could see his right eye give a slight wince. Butch grew into his looks quite well reaching a height of 6'1, Muscular in all the right places, Tan skin and cocky grin his reputation with the ladies of Townsville was certainly renowned.
Butch had earned many reputations around Townsville. The Joker, The Playboy and The Manic his sense of humor never wavered. His attitude towards school was entirely indifferent if it weren't for Ms. Bellum's consistent nagging about his grades he would have probably dropped out all together.
Bubbles had stayed true to the origin of her name. Her upbeat and cheery attitude had given her a definite advantage with the male population of Townsville High school. Nevertheless Bubbles with her head presently in the clouds she very rarely noticed the amount of attention she received, all the same these gestures were not unwarranted. Bubbles was very easily one of the prettiest girls in town. Sunshine kissed locks that curled effortlessly Stunning blue eyes and petite frame she often reminded people of a ceramic doll and was treated as such. She was captain of the cheerleading team, volunteered hours at the Animal Centre, Was an excellent artist and most men's dream girl. She maintained decent grades and was incredibly popular in their school she was the ultimate 'Girl next door'.
Boomer while still sometimes clumsy and scatterbrained had become more confident. He lost his beach blonde winged tips and replaced them with simple side swept hair. Much like his brothers Boomer was very popular with the girls in their school. They found him charming, sweet, kind and caring but also devilishly handsome. He stood at a fair 5'11 and slim muscles that made most girls swoon. Boomer had found he too like Bubbles was quite skilled with some paint and a brush but found much of his time consumed with photography. Often he would secretly take photographs of Bubbles.
Blaze had taken on a persona of a mysterious and thoughtful child and remained so when she was a teenager. She had medium brown hair with bangs that dangle in front of her amethyst eyes. She was very pretty in a curious sort of way. She had pale skin, delicate curves and a shy smile. Blaze had always been enticed by music and had a voice of an angel, however she could never bring herself to sing in public only in front of her sisters. Blaze to like her sisters attracted all types of boys but was always to shy to see through on any of her crushes.
Blade was a hyper and excitably type of guy. Even at 16 he still often acted like a child, Chocolate brown hair, dark violet eyes and an intoxicating grin he was frequently the life of the party. Standing at the shortest brother Blade was a reasonable 5'9. He had forever needed an outlet for his constant energy so he took interest in so many things they are unable to list. Blade was very proud of being exceptionally smooth with the ladies all but one. When it came to Blaze Utonium, Blade could never find the right words. No matter how hard he tried, one look from her sent him spiraling into hysterics, his tongue felt like sand paper the back of his throat became flaky and dry and his voice seemed to raise a full octave. This resulted constant chiding and teasing from his brothers but even with their help the closest thing Blade could bring himself to a conversation with Blaze was a painful hello.
"I don't see why we have be here at the fucking crack of dawn." Butch growled. The 8 teens waited outside the library as Blossom fumbled with the keys in the door. "What the hell do you have to complain about? We're the ones who have to be here to babysit you." Buttercup hissed. The key in the lock finally clicked and Blossom pushed open the doors. "Fun fact~ Townsville Library is one of the oldest buildings in the city dating back to the early 1900 's"- "Blossom there is absolutely nothing fun about that fact" Brick snarled. Blossom glared at him "I'm just trying to lighten the mood Brick. We are going to be spending the next 3 weeks together"
"Oh god don't remind me" Brick said in a sullen voice "Lets just get this over and done with" He then sulked into the library Blossom lecturing him in the importance of history. With a sigh the rest of the group followed.
When they reached the middle of the library they stopped "Alright all you boys need to do is sort these books into the shelves in the correct order. If we want to get this done quick we should split up into pairs." Blossom decided gesturing to some crates stacked full of books. "Oh joy that's just what I wanted to do with my Saturday morning. Stack books." Butch said sarcastically "Oh come on Butch it can't be that bad. Think positively!" Bubbles said with a kind smile which only earned her a scoff.
"I don't know about you idiots but I'm going to get this done as fast as possible" Brick said pushing his individual crate towards the back of the long shelves using his super speed. "WAIT! Brick I forget to tell you NO POWERS!" Blossom called racing after him "I call Boomer" Bubbles said wrapping her own arm around his. Boomer blushed. Butch laughed, "I guess I'll go with Butterbuns" Buttercup scowled "Don't call me that you dick"
Blaze smiled spinning to face her own counterpart who had been suspiciously quiet all morning "I guess it's just you and me then!" She said with a small smile. Blade tried to answer but instead rasped and sputtered. Blaze gave him a weird look and walked of in another direction
Once far enough away from the others not to be heard Boomer dropped his crate and slyly wrapped his arms around Bubbles waist. She giggled as Boomer kissed her neck "Boomie stop what if the others see us" "Don't worry about them they're all to busy bickering to come looking for us" He smirked into the crook of her neck but Bubbles shied away "I'll tell you what. For every shelf you clear you get two minutes" Bubbles said with a wink. Boomer grinned like a Cheshire cat and zipped towards the shelf. " Uh Boomer no powers remember" He groaned and floated to the ground.
On the other side of the library Blossom curiously shifted through a pile of books. Brick stacked the shelves behind her. "Wow. I knew this place was old but I'm finding books here I've never heard of." Blossom said impressed. Brick grumbled, "Only you would be impressed with old, dusty books" She ignored him and continued. " I wonder if the librarian would mind if I to take a few of these home with me"
"Pinky you do realize it's a library right?"
"Fun Fact"-
"NO. NO MORE FUN FACTS OR SO HELP ME GOD BLOSSOM." Blossom smirked and began to list of Fact after fact. Brick glared and tossed a book at her.
A little way off Butch crammed the books upon the shelves. He could feel Buttercups cold stare burning into him but tried to ignore it. "I saw what you did back there," She stated in a mischievous tone. Butch tensed for a second. "I have no idea what you're talking about"
"Yes you do"
"No I don't"
"Liar"
"Bitch"
"Ass"
"Whatever."
She gave him a curious look "I saw it Butch you can't lie to me. You purposefully made sure Blade got Blaze as a partner. He scratched the back of his neck nervously. Not replying Butch continued to clear his crate. "I KNEW IT! I got to admit Butchy boy that was crafty. Though I could never figure out why he didn't just ask her out."
"Buttercup I really don't know what you're talking about." She pulled her arms around his neck into a chokehold "SAY IT BITCH!" Butch flipped her sending her flying into a pile of books near by. She glowered at him "It's on now Butchy Boy"
Blade peered at Blaze through the space between the shelves he sighed 'She's enchanting' he thought dreamily
So go over and talk to her you dumbass
I can't I-I wouldn't know what to say
Dude did you really just try to lie too your conscious
Yeah I forgot about that
Blade straightened his back, slicked back his hair and approached her. Blaze didn't notice him until he was directly next to her. "Oh hey are you done already?" She asked looking at his empty crate Blade swallowed "Ya-ah" He moaned mentally 'Great just fucking fabulous could I sound any more like a dumbass?' Before Blaze could reply they both heard a crash followed by cussing 'Dammit Butch'
As the two went tumbling down the stairs they went straight past the blues who were viciously sucking face. Thankfully they didn't get a chance to see them, as both were two busy clawing at each other's hair. "Was that who I think it was?" Bubbles asked with a panicked expression. Both went chasing after their squabbling siblings. Brick heard them before he saw them. Turning just in time to see the pair rolling toward him at high speeds Brick only had a split second to react. He dove pushing Blossom out of the way knocking them both into a wall. Butch and Buttercup slammed into the space that had previously occupied Brick and Blossom. "YOU ASSHOLE" Buttercup shrieked rubbing her head painfully "YAH WELL YOU STARTED IT" Butch replied angrily. The two turned to their other siblings expecting a fresh reprimanding for their little fight. But nothing came instead the Reds stared wide-eyed at something lying on the floor. During their brawl the two knocked over a few books and one lay on the floor glowing. The remaining four arrived just in time to see the spectacle. But before any of them could say anything the book began sucking them into its vast vortex. They screamed grabbing the thing closest to them and in Blaze's case just happened to be Blade. But no matter how strong the object one by one the teens were sucked into the swirling nothingness.
(A/N- I really enjoyed writing this first chapter and can't wait to get started on the second. Please review!)
