A/N: Hey hey howdy hey! I am back with another chapter! ^_^ Sorry it had taken a little longer than I would have liked to have taken on uploading this, I had really struck out with ye ol writer's block and I had a shit ton of stuff to do for school. Like literally for my final two weeks of school (which was at the beginning of the month) I had assignments back to back to back, I had around 4 papers due, one was one of my finals, one had a presentation due with it, and the other was attached to my english final. It was a hectic two weeks but now I am on summer vacation and I am so grateful that hell week(s) is over with. I have a lot more time to continue my shitty ass writing, so hopefully I will update a lot better than I have been.

TO THOSE WHO REVIEWED YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW ELATED I HAD FELT LIKE THANK YOU SO MUCH, I ALMOST CRIED BECAUSE IT REALLY BRIGHTENED MY DAY AND GAVE ME HOPE THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY ENJOY MY POOR ATTEMPT OF WRITING. THANK YOU AGAIN

Anywho, onward with the chapter! Please enjoy!


Chapter 2: I Want You To Want Me

Buttercup mumbled profanities under her breath as she cautiously made her way to the center of the makeshift stage that was in the middle of the football field. It had taken Butch, with a little help from the other boys in their group, to pull Buttercup from her seat and then push her all the way to the stage while trying to restrain her from flying off and hurting them. And now, here she was, about to grab the microphone that was sitting so snug in its little holster attached to the mic stand in the middle of said stage. Butch smugly strolled over to the back of the stage where the karaoke machine was located, tapping on the screen and scrolling through the playlist of songs, trying to find the perfect song for Buttercup to sing. Once he was satisfied with his selection, he gave his scowling friend a thumbs up and got off of the stage. Before the song began Butch called up to Buttercup, "And you have to dedicate it to me." She gave him a confused look as he winked at her and the beginning chords of the song blasted out of the surround sound speakers.

She grabbed the microphone and brought it up to her mouth, keeping it a few inches away from her mouth, she cleared her throat before saying "This one is for Butch. Fucking asshole." Muttering the last part, she glanced over at the screen to see what song she was going to sing and cringed internally, rolling her eyes physically, and giving off an exasperated expression. Of course the asshat would choose this song, she thought to herself as the words appeared on the screen, readying herself to sing the first line of I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick. Her face burned a little as her cheeks turned pink once the lines had left her mouth, belting out each line perfectly, and resisting the urge to jump off of the stage and punch that laughing green-eyed fucker right in the face. As the last round of words for the final chorus of the song lit up on the screen, Buttercup gazed out at the crowd and saw her blonde haired sister striding towards the back with an abnormal expression across her face. Buttercup's face contorted to a confused expression as she halfheartedly sang the rest of the song, not even staying on the stage for the final chords as she made her way through the crowd towards her sister. "Hey, Bubbles." She called out to the blonde, noticing that her sister was crying once she had finally reached her, the expression contorted onto the sweet girl's face was unfamiliar to her sister.

Bubbles turned around at the sound of her name being called, coming face to face with her black haired sister. She swiped away the tears that were falling from her eyes and sniffled a bit before giving her sister a sad smile, "Hey, Buttercup." Buttercup rose an eyebrow and hugged her sibling, wondering what, or who, had made her dearest sister cry. Bubbles hated crying in public but sometimes she just couldn't help it, knowing that she was overwhelmed Buttercup started comforting her the best she could which wasn't much in the eyes of others. "Hey, hey now. It's okay. What's wrong?" She asked into her hair, Bubbles just shook her head and cried more into Buttercup's shoulder mumbling, "Can we go home? Please." Buttercup nodded and let go of her sister, linking arms with her and started to go look for Blossom.


They found her moments later, arguing with Brick (big surprise), Buttercup rolling her eyes at her sister as she cleared her throat disrupting their argument. She glanced at Bubbles and raised her eyebrows at her red-headed sister, having a silent conversation with and motioning with her head towards the parking lot. Blossom, fully understanding, nodded at her sisters leaving Brick standing there with no explanation. "I'm sorry Brick, but our conversation will have to continue some other time." And with that being said, she linked arms with her crying sister and they all started heading towards the parking lot. "Hold up, I gotta go say bye to the guys." Buttercup said, unlinking her arm and jogging back towards the football field in search of her friends.


Hearing the familiar sound of deep laughter, Buttercup emerged back into the group of guys that she was normally seen with. "Ah, look who finally decided to join us once again." Mitch said, giving her a grin. "Look Butters, I knew all along that you couldn't resist me but honestly going up there and singing to me. Tch. You really didn't have to yo-" Butch said jokingly, being cut off when Buttercup punched him in the gut, the rest of them bursting out into laughter once more. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can it, you jackass. My sisters and I are gonna bust this joint, so I'll see you assholes later." She says to the group, mock-saluting them as she turns around and leaves them. "Well shit." Butch says, moments later breaking the silence. The group then decides to disperse since it isn't as fun without Buttercup being there.


Buttercup catches up with her sisters in the parking lot a few minutes later, passing the blue eyed boy wonder and spitting profanities at him as she rushed back to her sisters side, climbing into the back of her dad's station wagon and putting on her seatbelt indicating to Blossom that they were good to leave. "Sorry for ruining the night guys." Bubbles said sheepishly, giving them a sad look. Blossom only shook her head reassuringly, while Buttercup hugged her from the back seat telling her, "No, don't be sorry." Blossom reassured her. "Yea. Those assholes should be the ones apologizing. Fu-" "Buttercup, watch your language." Blossom had cut in. Bubbles quietly giggled at her sisters' bantering, feeling a bit better in the presence of her siblings. After their bickering had stopped, the rest of the car ride had been silent; it wasn't an awkward silence, more of a comfortable silence.


Once Blossom had pulled into their driveway, the girls had all climbed out and entered their dimly lit home; the Professor's lab door had a light shinning underneath the crack of the door indicating that he was going to be pulling another all-nighter in the lab. Blossom went into the kitchen while Buttercup plopped herself onto the couch, turning on the T.V., Bubbles didn't say much other than a small "good night" to her sisters before ascending up the stairs and locking herself into her bedroom.

As soon as the girls were old enough they had all decided that they didn't want to share a room anymore, so the Professor had split up their old bedroom and added some floor space to keep everything even, each room still having a circular window on the far wall that was the front of the house. Bubbles didn't go much into Buttercup's room, only really seeing glimpses of mass piles of clothes littered across the floor, she would sometimes be allowed into the clean fortress that is Blossom's room but only if she wasn't busy with homework or if it was truly important. So Bubbles numbly walked into her room, through the door that was located on the far end of the stairs, not bothering to turn on the lights, and trudged her way across the blue rug that was over-top of the hard wood flooring and fell face first onto her bed. The soft sky blue bedspread wrinkling as the mass that is her body slightly bounced as it made contact with her mattress, not even really bothering to put on her actual pajamas Bubbles had slid underneath the comforter and stared out the window that was across the room.

A street light illuminated the abandoned street and the houses that lined it, a small patch of woods lay in the distance and the subtle sound of cars on the main streets could be heard as Bubbles slowly closed her eyes and let out a small frustrated sigh; the last thing on her mind before she had drifted off to sleep was the staring of a set of dark blue eyes.


A/N: So yeah! This was my chapter 2, I hope you enjoyed it! I already know what type of direction I want to do with chapter 3, writing suggestions are always welcome as well! Please review and give me some criticism! ALSO I JUST HAD TO WRITE THAT FUCKING SONG FOR THE GREENS CUZ I THINK THAT IT WORKS PRETTY WELL FOR THEM (and the others as well, but then again I am biased as hell towards those green eyed douchbags)
