Rising Stars: Chapter 2
The main seven were staring at Dave and Jerry in disbelief, unblinking.
"Look, I know this is shocking, but our music company decided that it would be a great idea to have you six work together in making music so we can make more money, and they could make more money." Dave Explains.
"But we already make enough money on our own." Buttercup interjects.
"Yeah, we do to. And we don't want three girls ruining our music." Mitch says, the other 3 boys nodding in agreement.
"Well, unfortunately, it doesn't matter what you four think." Jerry rebukes, giving then a disapproving glare.
Butch scowls and stands up.
"I don't got tiiime for this shit. C'mon babe, let's go." He says as he grabs her hand and starts walking out, Brute following, smiling like she won something.
Buttercup wanted to smack that smile off her face. So. Bad.
"Butch! Butch where you goin!" Dave shouts after him.
"Out."
Blossom shakes her head. She doubts that she's going to be able tolerate not only Butch, the rest of the three. The red one seems bossy too. Stuck up.
Blossom studies him.
He's not bad looking. In fact, he's very handsome. It's just his red eyes that throw her off. But then again, she has pink eyes..
Brick catches her staring at him and stares right back at her, raising an eyebrow.
"Can I help you?"
She blinks and turns away, a bit flustered from being caught staring. But also a bit upset. He's a bit rude.
If they're going to work together, he needs to learn how to talk to people for starters.
"Why does your brother always act like he's grown?" Dave sighs as he rubs his face.
"I don't know ask him." Boomer says with a lazy shrug.
"Anyways, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, the music industry has also said that it is a requirement to have four members in your group." Jerry explains
"What!?" Buttercup exclaims .
"But, why?" Bubbles says.
"Because they believe it would only be fair, since the boys are a group of four, they think that you girls should be a group of four too."
"Oh that's some bullshit." Buttercup snapped.
"So you three are going to have to host a competition, and pick one girl to be in your group." Jerry states, ignoring Buttercup's comment.
"And you four will help them pick, opinions can help." Dave says, nodding his head towards the boys.
Buttercups eyes widens in alarm, but she doesn't say anything. She just wants the conversation to be over so she can go to bed. But that doesn't mean that she won't protest tomorrow.
The boys don't know how to feel about this. Smug that their opinions matter, but upset that they have to help the girls.
"So, are we clear?"
They all took a moment to answer.
"Crystal." They all muttered.

"I can't believe this! I mean, why them!? Like what the fuck." Brat rages, gripping onto Boomer's arm. Boomer, not liking seeing his girlfriend upset, untangles her from his arm and pulls her closer to him, kissing her forehead, causing Brat to swoon.
"There's nothing we can do babe, besides, there's nothing to worry about, it's not like I'm attracted to them." Boomer reassures.
But, while they were discussing the matter a few hours ago back at the office, he did sneak a few glances at Bubbles. She's not ugly at all, and she has a nice body. He couldn't help it. He's a guy after all. But he has Brat, his girlfriend.
Boomer shakes his head and focuses on the movie that they're watching in his room.
Brat smirks to herself. Bubbles can't possible take Boomer from her. It's against the contract rule after all….

"Brick sweetie."
"Yeah?"
"Do you think that Blossom chick is attractive?"
"Why would you ask a question like that?"
"Because I can, now please answer it."
"No, I don't" He sighs, he doesn't feel like having this conversation because he knows that she would throw a fit.
Of course he found her attractive. She's beautiful, hot, sexy, you name it. But he has a girlfriend.
Brick scowls a bit and continues reading his book, until Berserk sneaks up on him and wraps her arms around his neck. Brick rolls his eyes and continues reading, ignoring her presence. She leans down to his ear and sighs.
"Babe I'm bored!"
"Then entertain yourself."
She licks her lips and whispers in his ear.
"Or, we could have some fun. Please Bricky?" She pleads, nipping at his ear.
Brick really wasn't in the mood right now. He had a lot on his mind. Being paired up with the Utonium's is a tough situation for him and his brothers to handle. He will admit, they are a very talent group, but him and his boys can do just fine without some girls cramping their style. Brick's scowl deepens as he continues thinking about it. But he's soon snapped out of his thoughts when he feels Berserk kissing all up on his neck. He shifts uncomfortably.
"Berserk… Babe I'm really not in the mood right now."
"But Bricky-"
"I said, I'm not in the mood." He says sternly.
Berserk huffs and pulls herself away from him, defeated.
"Well, are you hungry?"
'No, I'm good."
"Do you wanna go out?"
"No thanks."
"Do you wanna do something!?"
"Nope." He says, popping the 'P'.
Berserk growls in frustration and storms out. Brick just rolls his eyes. She's so immature.
He grabs his phone and calls Dave to get the details about the competition.
This is going to be very interesting.

Blossom sat in her bed, contemplating the situation, playing with a little bundle of fire.
Yes, her and her sisters have powers.
Shocker?
Weeelll..
It was long time ago..
Blossom shook her head, not wanting to remember the horrific moment.
Back on topic.
Blossom still couldn't believe that Jerry aloud this to happen.
Blossom hated it.
It made her and her sisters look weak. All three of them are capable of being successful on their own. Without some.. boy band joining. And to top it off, they have to add another member into the group! Blossom wasn't taking this to well. Bubbles, of course, tried looking at it in a positive way. Thinking a helping hand from the boy group wouldn't hurt. But Buttercup was livid. She believed they could do just fine on their own. They don't need 4 cocky boys showing them up. This will not happen without a fight.
Blossom's pov
I can't believe this. This is ridiculous!
I glare at my wall as my fire increases in size. All of a sudden a splash of water engulfs my hand my mini fire ball disappears.
"Bubbles!"
She giggles in response and jumps on my bed.
"What's buggin ya Bloss."
"This whole situation."
"Ugh, I know.. but look at it this way. We'll have helping hands with our music, and another member is amazing!"
"No Bubbles, it's not."
"Yes, it is! And we get to pick who we want!"
"But that's not the point! Putting us together, makes us look weak! We can be successful with a stupid boy band standing in our way."
"Well, we'll just have to see what'll happen from here. But let's get this straight, we are at least working with four hotties! Bloss you have to admit it. I mean the red one is so hot, but the blue is the most attractive to me, hot, sexy, and cute at the same time I mean c'mon, where can you find that now-a-days!?"
"Bubbles, they have girlfriends."
"Ugh, don't remind me. I'm trying to get over Cody as quickly as possible."
"That doesn't mean you lust after someone's man." I state firmly.
"I'm not! Is it a crime to find someone attractive?"
"Touché."
Bubbles giggles, but it soon falls silent as she looks at me.
"Is it seriously bothering you?"
I nod. It really is bothering me. But I'll just have to suck it up and go with it.
Soon Bubbles leaves and I am again left alone. I get out of bed and go to the bathroom and brush my teeth.
When I'm done I change and get into bed. Tomorrow we're going to be meeting at the boys house to discuss this competition that we're holding for our new band member.
The next day
"Fuck, I don't feel like doing this today." Buttercup mumbles, stifling a yawn.
I agree with her, I really don't feel like doing this today. But Jerry said we have too so now we're here.
Once we arrive we step out the car and stand in front of their house, their really big house, I may add. We knock on the door and Brick opens the door with a polite smile.
Ha.
Polite my ass.
"Hey guys! Welcome to our house." He says as he opens the door wider for us. Bubbles gives him a kind smile and Buttercup glares at him. We see the rest of them sitting in the living room, with Dave . Brick takes his seat next to Boomer while Dave offers to take a seat on the couch in front of them. The only thing separating us is the coffee table with papers over it.
"Good evening, everyone." Dave says with a smile. Bubbles and I smile while Buttercup rolls her eyes.
"Enough with the polite crap. Let's just get down to business." Buttercup states, earning a disapproving glare from Brick and an intrigued look from Butch.
Dave clears his throat and continues.
"So, the competition is hosted a week from now. All 7 of you with be the judges and all agree on who will be the new member."
Buttercup scoffs.
"The competition with be held in L.A, so we'll be taking a flight there in 5 days."
"Yaaay! I love planes!" Bubbles gushes. Boomer smiles.
"Me too." He says while looking at her, causing Bubbles to blush a bit.
What the hell is going on here? I'll talk to Bubbles about it later.
"We'll all be on the same plane, so I hope you all get along by then because Jerry and I refuse to be embarrassed. Again."
Buttercup rolls her eyes for the 100th time and speaks up.
"I don't think it's a good idea to put me on the same plane with them. Especially if their girlfriends are coming."
"Who said we were taking our girlfriends?" Mitch says.
"Well, from what I've seen they follow you guys around like they have no damn life. And you guys let them. What do you expect me think?" Buttercup returned, with a smirk.
Butches eyes flare in anger, because, she's right. I completely agree with her, and I also think it's a horrible idea to put all of us on the same plane.
"Well, unfortunately, they will be joining us. And we have to be on the same plane because we can't have two parties on different planes. That's just going to be too much." Dave explains. Buttercup curses under the breathe.
"But, what I can do is separate you guys, if that makes it better."
Buttercup shrugs, and Bubbles and I nod. I look over to the boys and see them share glances. Hm.. I wonder why.
Brick, again, catches me looking and smirks at me.
"Like what you see babe?"
I scoff.
"No."
He chuckles in response.
"Well, I like what I see." He says flirtatiously, sending me a wink. I try my hardest not to blush.
"Well, I don't."
"Ohhh I like em feisty." He says biting his lip. His brothers snicker as I become flustered. I can't believe him.
"D-don't you have a girlfriend!"
"Yes, and?'
"You shouldn't be flirting with other woman."
He shrugs carelessly.
"I can do whatever I want."
I Shake my head and look away from him. Dave and Jerry share amused glances with each other.
"Well, anyway, you guys are going to have sign these papers right here confirming the competition." Dave says.
We all sign the papers, Buttercup being stubborn, took the longest the sign the papers, but still signed them.
"Now that that's dealt with. We'll be going to the studio recording a song until it's time to leave for the competition. And we'll show the music company what we've made and see if they like it. Then we'll sign the contract for you guys to join the girls."
"This is bullshit." Buttercup mutters.
Jerry sighs.
"We can't really do anything. The company wants money. And they'll do anything to get it. Right now you 7 are the most popular music group so they thought it would be a great idea to put you all together. They don't care how you guys feel about. If you all don't agree, they'll fire you all." He explains.
"We'll also be staying in la for 2 weeks."
"Well that doesn't to bad." Bubbles says.
"Well, let's all start heading to the-"
All of a sudden their girlfriends come walking into the house, like they own the place. My anger flares for a bit but it soon vanishes because I have to set an example. I will not give them the satisfaction of seeing me angry.
"Why are they here?" Berserk asks, not to happy to see us in here.
"We were discussing the competition with them." Dave says.
"Oh, well, we're going."
"Oh don't remind me." Buttercup grumbles.
"No one was talking to you dyke." Brute seethes.
"Tch, you're talking to me now."
"Stop it! Both of you! I will not allow this right now." Dave says.
"Anyways, we need to get going, we have a song to make." Jerry says getting up.
Everyone walks outside, the girls going in their own car, and the boys going in their own car, their girlfriend following.
This is going to be hard.

Bubbles pov
I still can't believe that their girlfriends are coming. But I am still excited about the competition. What confuses me though is that the boys really didn't seem to excited about their girlfriends tagging along. Oh well, that's not my business.
As we arrive to the studio, I couldn't stop thinking about Boomer. He's actually pretty nice. And he so cute. But he has a girlfriend. A really annoying girlfriend that buys clothes 2 sizes to small for her. But that's her style and what not so whatever.
We walk into the studio to see the boys already there sitting down with their girlfriends having conversation. But once we walk in, everyone goes silent.
"Well, let's do this." Brick says, breaking the silence.
"Alright so, I'll sing lead-" Blossom starts but gets cut off by Brick.
"Uh, no, I will sing lead."
"Excuse me. I will."
"How about no one sings lead and we all just sing." Buttercup suggests.
"Well that's stupid." Brute states.
"Actually, no it's not. That idea seems fair."
Buttercup's face shows surprise and Brute's face shows fury that her boyfriend is agreeing with her.
"Butch are you serious!?"
"Brute, it's really not a bad idea. Calm down."
Damn.
She stares at him dumbfounded and slowly sits back on the couch.
Buttercup smirks at Brute, then looks at Butch with a flirty look.
What the hell?
Butch blinks in confusion as Buttercup walks towards him and sits next to him, earning a glare from Brute.
What surprises me is that Buttercup gets very close to Butch, too close, and smiles at him.
"So, Butch, do you have any idea's about what we should sing?" She says, licking her lip, causing Butches eyes to lower to her lips for a brief second.
"Well I.. Uh.." He says, having trouble forming a sentence. I look over to see Brute fuming.
"Hm?" Buttercup hums, reaching over the table to grab his cup, giving him a nice view of her cleavage, which I can tell he notices, because he's staring.
"That's um, my cup.."
"Oh, is it?"
She then swishes the drink around in the cup, stirring it with the straw while looking at him.
Buttercup what the hell are you doing!
I fidget with my shirt as I watch.
The nest thing she does makes me gasp so loud I chock.
SHE JUST DRANK FROM THE STRAW!
OMG
I can't believe this! This is.. oh my gosh what will Blossom say!?
Everyone just watches her as she drinks, and drinks, and drinks. Especially Butch, he watches with his mouth hanging wide open as she drinks. I look at Brute to see that she finally snapped. She stands up and snatches the cup out Buttercup hand , causing the drink to splash on both Buttercup and Butch.
"Brute!"
"Why you bitch! THAT'S MY BOYFRIND YOU'RE MESSING WITH!" Brute rages, dumping the whole drink on Buttercup and pouncing her. They both begin fighting and yelling at each other. Jerry and Dave quickly jumps in and separates them, both looking roughed up. I look at Butch to see him upset, and wet. But what surprised was that he was glaring at Brute.'
"Brute are you serious!? That was so uncalled for!" He yells.
"Me!? It was her fault she!-"
"Oh please, you the one who dumped the drink on her!"
I couldn't believe by eyes. Butch arguing with Brute. AREN'T THEY SUPPOSE TO BE DATING!?
"I think you two should get some fresh air, blow off some steam." Jerry says, Dave nodding in agreement. Buttercup huffs and storms out, and Brute screams and runs out, her sisters following right behind. I quickly follow Buttercup outside and stop her.
"Buttercup! What was that!?"
"Shut up, I was only having some fun."
"Fun. Fun!? Buttercup you could've gotten seriously hurt! And that's her boyfriend! You can't go around messing with other girls boyfriends! That's so unlike you! I mean, I know that you hate her with a passion but come on, that was a low blow."
She rolls he eyes in response and fixes her hair. Soon we hear footsteps approaching us. Thinking it's Blossom, we both turn around, only to be surprised that Butch and his brothers are walking towards us. My eyes widens and almost immediately I lock eyes with Boomer. We stare at each other for a bit until I break the eye contact and look down. Oh my gosh he is so freaking cute.
Butch walks up to Buttercup with an apologetic look.
"Look, I'm sorry that my girlfriend went hay wire on you."
"It's cool. I was expecting her to."
"What?"
"You really think in interested in you in that kind of way? Oh Bubbles, remind me to brush my teeth when I get home."
I hold back a laugh but a small giggle escapes. Boomer looks towards me with amusement flashing in his eyes and I blush.
"But then why did you-"
"Because I wanted to get under you girlfriends skin, why else?"
Butch stares at her in shock as his brothers busts out laughing.
"Looks like you got a hard on for no reason Butch!" Boomer laughs.
Woah! Buttercup gave Butch a hard on! This is priceless!
"Shut up, Boomer!" Butch says, becoming flustered and soon storming away. I did notice he was walking kind of funny.
Soon everyone leaves, including Buttercup, except Boomer stayed behind.
"So.." I start awkwardly.
"Are you excited?"
"I mean.. yeah I'm excited about it, a little iffy on the whole new member thing, but I'm pretty excited!" I say cheerfully.
"I'm glad to hear that.. look, I'm sorry about our girlfriends, they can a little.."
"Yeah, I know."
He chuckles and look back at me, biting his lip. Oh god.
"I-I think we should head back." I stutter. Get a hold of yourself Bubbles!
"Yeah. Time to make some music." He says as he begins walking back, me following besides him.
0~0~0
"Alright you guys," Blossom starts.
"We have 5 days to make a song, and show it to the music company."
"We have to make sure that this song bomb guys!" I gush.
"Hopefully they like it." Mitch says.
"They better like it." Buttercup butts in, examining her nails.
"I like your attitude." Butch says, smirking at her.
Buttercup casts him a side glance but looks away, a faint hue of pink gracing her cheeks. Woah.
"C'mon guys, we got this. If this doesn't work, we lose everything." Brick says determinedly.
"That being said, let's get down to business." Blossom say.
This is going to be one hell of a roller coaster.
~Meanwhile~
"So what are we going to do about the three goons trying to take our boyfriends away?"
"We're going to eliminate them."
"How?"
"Hm… I don't know yet, but I'll figure it out."
"Do you need Daddy?"
"No princess, we don't need your dad-"
"Actually yes, we will. This plan is going to juicy.."
