Hey, people everywhere.
Told you I would have a Buttercup/Butch story coming soon.
I just wanted to write it all down before I started to type it and upload it.
Well here is the first chapter.
-0o0-
"OMG! Buttercup did you hear?" My best friend Robin screamed as she ran up to me before school. Robin was a lot like Bubbles when it came to personality but she was an old family friend that we all had grown to love. We were seniors in our final months at high school, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. I looked at her in a way that said, 'tell me.' She was wearing her normal red pants and white shirt with the green apple on it; she loved apples just like me. Her brown hair was an inch off the floor. I had once asked her how she could keep her hair that long and she said she cared for it like you would care for short hair. She also seemed to be holding a poster. It was a dark green color. "Butch is coming to Townsville and he will be performing for one night only!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. The whole school seemed to stop and look at us. Butch was this famous singer that had been found from a small town that nobody had ever heard of, but everyone has heard of it now. He apparently was part of a triplet set, and his brothers were also his managers. I never cared for boy bands; I prefer musicians like Evanescence, Within Temptation, Flyleaf, and Nightwish. (All my fav. Bands) Suddenly we were surrounded by dozens of giggling girls. They had all ran over to Robin and me the moment that they heard the name 'Butch'. The girls were so tightly packed I had to blast out of them and fly to my class. Luckily, there were already people in the class that open the windows for me to fly in. I sat in my seat, popped in my earphones and turned on my iPod; letting everything disappear in my music.
A few songs later, Robin came in to the class with her hair a mess and the Butch poster crumpled and torn in places. She took her seat next to me and started to press out the folds in the paper. I stopped my music and looked over at her. "Let me guess, after you told them everything they wanted the poster, didn't they?" I asked but I already knew the answer. Anyone could have told just from the poster's condition that there was a fight over it. Robin nodded slowly, still trying to fix the poster. "Did you fight any of them?" I asked and she shook her head. I was the only one know to fight. "Good girl." I said turning back to my music. However, just before I pressed play, Robin grabbed my wrist.
"Will you please go with me to the concert?" She blurted out. I almost fell out of my chair in shock. She knew I didn't care for the famous pop star, why would she ever ask for me to go with her.
"What? Why me?" I yelled.
"Because you are the only girl I know who does not love Butch, and I want to change that. Besides, I want someone strong to hold me back from tackling him." Robin laughed. I just looked at her like she was crazy.
"This will never happen I hope you know. I will go with you, but don't expect for me to like him afterwards." I sigh and roll my eyes.
"THANK YOU!" She screamed but then looked at me as if there was something wrong. "Wait, did you give in so easily. That is not like you at all, Buttercup. I know you better than that. What's the catch?"
I leaned my chair back and folded my arms under my head. "There is no catch. Your birthday is coming up, am I right? So you can just qualify this as an early birthday, okay?"
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" She cheered. I put my music back on and tried to block out her girlish screams and giggles. The one thing I had to worry about now was getting us into the consort. There was no way that I would ever wait outside a ticket booth to get tickets; but if I didn't, I probably never get the tickets and Robin would never forgive me. The next question was money. There was no way I was ever going to save up enough money to get them, I couldn't even ask for the money. The Professor and Blossom were all about working for yourself to feel more accomplished. Bubbles would have given the money to me, but she rarely had any to spare. Then it hit me. The Mayor always got to tickets to everything coming in Townsville. They were supposed to be for contest but the Mayor would use them most of the time for other reasons. I just had to hope that he didn't already have plans for them.
At lunch time, I decided to fly over to the Mayor's office. I just thought I would try and get them as quick as possible. "Hey," I called as I walked into his office.
"Oh, Buttercup, it's you." He said surprised by my appearance. "Aren't you supposed to be in school right now?"
"It is lunch time and we can leave if we come back before lunch is over." I explain. "I just need to ask you for a favor." I said taking a seat in one of the chairs on the other side of the desk.
"Sure. I will do anything for a town hero." He said happily.
"I would like to ask for your tickets for the upcoming Butch concert." I said with a lack of emotion in my voice. This surprised him more than I would have thought.
"Excuse me." He fumbled. "Did you just ask for Butch tickets?"
"I know it is a weird request but everyone knows you get a pair of tickets for every consort and event that comes to Townsville."
"Well, that's true. But I never thought you would be the one to ask for them. Bubbles and Blossom have done it a few times, but…" He stuttered. Now this surprised me. I knew Bubbles when to concerts all the time, but not Blossom, not miss, science geek.
"I just want them for my friend. She loves Butch and her birthday is coming up. So I thought this would be an exhalent birthday gift." I said trying my best to sound like I care a lot and would be heartbroken if he refused. It worked and he fell for it all.
"Okay then, if that's the case I would be happy to give them to you." He then reached into the draw of his desk and shuffled around a few papers. He then handed me a thick envelope. "There you go. Two tickets and two back stage passes. Now you better go back to school, I don't want you getting in trouble. Oh, and tell your friend I said happy birthday."
"I will. Thanks again." I said giving a rare smile. I quickly flew back to school, with just enough time to eat before my favorite class of the day, gym. I then realized what I just did, and what I held in my hands. All because of a friend me, Buttercup Utoium the toughest of the Power Puff Girls, was going to a consort I truthfully never wanted to go to in the first place. And oddly enough, even if I didn't know it at the time, Butch was on his way to Townsville thinking almost the exact same thing.
