Chapter 2: The First


"Applications are online." Brick stated to his brothers that lounged in his room.

Bliss nodded. "Cool. I guess we'll sign ourselves up."

Brick spun in his chair to face his white haired sibling, staring at him blankly as if thinking.

"Actually you know what?" He spun back to his laptop. "I'll sign us all up."

"You have no faith in us, do you?"

"Nope."

Bullet chuckled and looked at the school website from his own computer. "It says Pokey Oaks is known for its football team."

"Can this school get any more cliché?" Butch scoffed leaning back against the headboard of the bed.

"I guess not." Brick mumbled. "It says they're also known for their school spirit."

Bliss laughed in disbelief. "Give me an F! Give me a U! What does that spell?!"

Boomer blinked. "Fuuuu…?" He answered as a full word confused. His brothers stared at him.

"It…It's two letters, Boom." Bullet said while Bliss slapped his hand on his forehead. "Bliss is just saying F U."

"Oh!" Boomer smiled, happy he understood.

Butch looked at Brick. "Can you just apply already so that this conversation ends?"

"Already done. We'll be checking out the school today." Brick said rubbing his temples. He pulled himself out of his irritation and smirked. "We start tomorrow."

"Great…" A chorus of sarcastic voices replied.


~~XxX~~


Buttercup abruptly lifts her head up after hearing a loud slam right next to her ear. She looked for the cause only to find perfectly filled acrylic nails and a painted on crown on each one. She groaned knowing exactly who they belonged.

"What do you want, Princess?" She narrowed her eyes in distaste.

Princes harrumphed flipping her curly puff balls haughtily. "I'm trying to get your attention and tell you about my weekend but you won't even listen!"

"Of course I won't listen!" Buttercup said. "I don't care enough to!"

"Don't be rude!" She scoffed. "I'm gracing you with my presence." She put her hand to her chest that was covered with a metallic dress, seeming to have cost a fortune.

"Yeah," Buttercup rolled her eyes. "Okay, Princess. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a well-deserved nap to attend to." She was about to put her head down again until Blossom passed her to sit behind her.

"No you don't." Blossom said shortly and Buttercup groaned.

Princess snickered and sat next to Buttercup.

Princess, although still spoiled, has stopped trying to take the title of a Powerpuff girl. Especially because of the way it effects the girls. However, she's one of the only people in the school that isn't afraid to talk to the girls. Due to this, she and the girls have a unique friendship.

"Hi, Princess!" Bubbles chirped out happily sitting next to Blossom.

Princess waved back while Bell rolled her eyes and sat behind Bubbles. "Don't talk to her, Bubbs. She's contagious."

"Hey!" Princess yelled at the white haired girl who smirked back challengingly.

"Oh my god, guys," Bunny groaned out before an argument could break out. "Let's not do this so early in the morning."

"Fine."

"Whatever."

A loud ringing sound rang throughout the building signaling the start of class. Anyone who wasn't in their seats had scurried off to find them.

The teacher had begun teaching whatever subject Buttercup didn't care for taking that as her signal to put her head back down.

~~XxX~~

"I'm not waiting all day for you Butch." Brick grit out irritated.

"I'm not telling you to wait." He heard his obnoxious brother say back through the door. He grunted but waited anyway. After a few minutes his brother came out the door wearing a black jacket and a forest green shirt with black jeans. His messy hair was styled in a spiky fashion.

"Of course." Brick rolled his eyes.

"Can't rush perfection, leader boy." Butch shrugged coolly phasing through the floor with Brick.

"Can your ego get any bigger?" Bliss said to the green eyed super.

"Can your dick get any smaller?" Butch shot back.

Bliss narrowed his eyes. "Can the stick up your ass get any-?"

"Stop." Brick growled out with authority, ceasing their argument.

"Ha!" Bullet snickered. "You two got in trouble~!"

Boomer laughed with him while the two that were "in trouble" glared.

Brick face palmed. "Let's go before HIM wakes up and decides to catapult us there."

Bullet's purple eyes shined in amusement at the idea. "…Wicked."

"We're not catapulting anyone, Bullet!" Boomer yelled at his brother fearfully.

Brick rolled his eyes. There is no way they were going to survive high school, Brick thought disappointingly.

~~XxX~~

Princess, Bell, and Bubbles walked together to drop Bubbles off at Art class. They chatted about miniscule things, if anything, makeup.

And boys.

"I heard there are gonna be some new boys coming tomorrow~!" Princess cooed out swooning. "I wonder if they're cute!"

Bell rolled her eyes. "How do you know that?"

"I heard that they registered today!" Princess said defensively. "And that they're coming to check out the school today!"

"You literally didn't answer my question." Bell said shaking her head.

"I wonder if they're nice." Bubbles thought out loud innocently.

Princess giggled. "I'd hope so~! Maybe boyfriend material~!"

"I pity the poor soul who has to slave himself to become your boyfriend." Bell smirked.

"You're so mean!" Princess huffed.

"I know~!" Bell sang flipping her white locks. However, the thought of new students joining the school rang through her head. She narrowed her eyes a bit suspiciously. Why now?

'I'm just overthinking this.' She shook her head. 'A lot of students transfer in the middle of their high school year.'

The anxious feeling has yet to leave her though. 'I have a bad feeling about this…' She thought out suppressing herself from looking into the future to find out.

She kept a promise that she can't break when it comes to that power.

"Bell?" Bubbles worried voice broke her out of her thought. "Are you okay?"

Bell snapped back to reality and smiled gently, suiting her features. "I'm fine, Bubbs."

Princess whistled lowly. "You should smile like that more often."

"You sound like a fuck boy."

"I mean it!"


~~XxX~~


Brick descended to the ground of the school campus and looked around with his siblings.

"Not that impressive." Bliss mumbled.

"What did you expect?" Bullet chuckled sarcastically. "It's high school."

"I've always loved your sarcasm, Bullet." Bliss snapped. "Please continue."

"Behave." Brick glared. "Let's show them how normal—" Brick winced at the word. "—We can be."

"Saw that, leader boy." Butch sang walking past him and inside the building. The rest followed in suit while Brick glared at the worn out, lettering sign spelling out in bland letters, 'WELCOME TO POKEY OAKS HIGH'

"What a welcome party." Brick spit out walking inside the building with a glare prominent on his handsome features. "I fucking hate Townsville."


~~XxX~~


Blossom sat in lunch with her sisters playing with her pink case of her phone. She stared wistfully at it, messing with the chain that hung from the case.

"Staring at your phone won't make it ring, leader girl." Buttercup said munching on her fries. Blossom looked up. She knows that. She knows that very well. But that doesn't mean she can't wait.

"Maybe it's a good thing people don't need us anymore…" Bubbles spoke up playing with the cold macaroni and cheese. "Crime is gone…Isn't that what we wanted?"

Blossom stiffened and looked up. "Of course it is!" She spoke up rather loudly. "But…" Her voice softened down to almost a whisper. "Why haven't people spoken to us…?"

"Because they're human and we're not." Bell spit out cynically. "That's why people don't like us. After they're done with us, they just throw us aside like trash—"

"Enough Bell." Blossom said sternly. "No matter what it's our duty to protect them."

"Since when?" Bunny said. It had no sarcasm just curiosity.

Blossom stayed silent and looked down at her phone.


~~XxX~~


"Hi, Mrs. Keane." Blossom smiled walking into the Principals office. Her former preschool teacher smiled.

"Hello, Blossom!" Mrs. Kean smiled back warmly. "I'm sorry to call you down from your class."

"It's no trouble." Blossom smiled back reassuringly. It was but she wasn't going to say it.

"I wanted to inform you of some…Interesting new students joining us starting tomorrow." She said reluctantly.

Blossom looked at her skeptically. "Alright. I'll show them around with my sisters. We Powerpuff's are always ready to give a helping a hand."

'You won't be saying that come tomorrow.' Sara Kean thought to herself. She smiled once more.

"I had already given them their schedule and locker combinations. One of them is in all AP classes like you Blossom."

"Wow." Blossom said impressed. "I can't wait to meet him or her!" She grinned excited to not be the only one in school with all accelerated classes. Maybe she'll make a new friend.

"Good. You can go back to class."

"Okay Mrs. Keane!" Blossom waved and left the room.

Once Sara saw that she was a good distance away where her super hearing wasn't focused, she hit her head on her desk letting out a tired moan.

"I'm going to ask for a raise!"


~~XxX~~


"New students?" Buttercup quoted at Blossom's news. She sat cross legged on the couch at home with her sisters scattered in the living room. The television played in the background but none of them payed any mind to it.

"Yup." Blossom confirmed munching on her sandwich.

Bell took a bite from her cut apple and looked at them. "I think Princess was saying something about that."

Bubbles gasped. "Is Princess like you Bell?" She squeaked out in surprise.

Bell rolled her eyes as Bunny laughed. "No Bubbles." Bell sassed. "Princess is just nosy."

"Sounds like you." Buttercup jibed smirking.

"Oh, shut up."

Blossom rolled her eyes smiling. "Still, it's a bit difficult to move in the middle of high school."

"Family problems maybe." Bunny debated staring at the television set.

"Yeah. Well either way," Blossom turned her head at all of them, getting all eyes on her. "We have to show them a good welcome!"

"Ugh, please don't ever say that sentence to me again." Buttercup laughed while Blossom threw a throw pillow at her.

"That's not fighting I hear, right girls?" Professor's voice rang out from his lab.

"No Professor!" The girls chorused and giggled.

"Maybe we can make new friends!" Bubbles smiled angelically.

"Maybe." Buttercup humored biting her lip while her eyes shined in amusement.

They glanced at each other and smiled at the opportunity to start new with someone.

~~XxX~~

"I can't believe we have to live in an apartment~!" Bliss exclaimed jumping up and down on his new mattress.

"Don't get too excited." Brick warned, remembering HIM's words clearly. "It's only temporary. We can't have the girls realizing we live with their worst enemy."

"I thought we were their worst enemy." Bullet yawned laying back on his separate bed.

"We are. But HIM's a different level." Butch growled out hate prominent in his voice.

"I don't like living under HIM…" Bliss' joyful mood had disappeared and Boomer glanced at him.

"Don't be so whiny, Bliss." Boomer's naïve persona broke around his albino like brother.

"Shut up, Boomer!"

"Stop fighting!" Brick snapped. "I don't have time for this annoyance. Get a good night's rest now." He snarled.

"Jesus, what's got your panties in a bunch?" Butch hissed back.

Brick's nostrils flared in anger and irritation that he was manipulated into a situation like this. It doesn't help that their privacy is even more relinquished. "HIM is always watching."

His brothers, realizing Brick was right, quieted down.

"…'M sorry." Brick mumbled.

"No," Bullet answered him blankly staring at the wall. "You're right…"

"We'll be happy once we get this over with…" Bliss grinned. "Let's go to Hawaii after this!"

"What? No way!" Boomer whined. "I wanna go to Europe!"

"Like Italy?" Butch asked curiously.

"Nah, more like France!"

"Don't be a basic bitch, Boomer." Bullet snickered.

Brick let out an airy laugh at that and smiled. He was not going to allow HIM to take his only reason for living away from him ever again.

Brick spoke up smirking. "We're obviously going far away. Maybe we should take over Monster Island."

His brothers grinned mischievously. A smile they all shared. Their extra little boyish traits shined and they were prepared for tomorrow.
