Bubbles was lying on her bed, face on her baby blue pillow. She was still pretty upset about what happened yesterday. It was pretty depressing. She actually loved Boomer with all her heart and she couldn't believe what he did. She felt a warm tear leave her eye and the pillow soaked it up as more and more fell. It was Valentine's Day, and Bubbles had to spend it with no valentine. She never imagined a single Valentine's Day to be like this ever since she started to be with Boomer. She thought they here going to be togehter forever. It was a drag, but she wiped her eyes and put up her head. (A/N: I got that sentece from a song. LoL!) She couldn't be crying about someone who played with her all this time.

But Bubbles didn't know the real truth of why Boomer made those excuses. She didn't know that Brat was the one who kissed Boomer. Not Boomer to Brat. She didn't know the truth.

Bubbles sighed heavily as she stood up from her bed. She went out her room and into the livingroom with her sisters. She had to get distracted somehow so she could get Boomer out of her head.

Bubbles P.O.V

I walked slowly down the steps with my eyes looking at the ground. I had to get distracted. Thinking of Boomer will do nothing but make me cry. I just can't believe him. I felt another tear leave my eye. I quickly wiped it away before my sisters could see.

"Bubbles! What's wrong?" Blossom asked worriedly. Too late... She placed a pink bookmark in the story she was reading and placed her book on the small stand near her. Buttercup looked away from the television to look at me. The thing with me is, the more people worry about me and ask what's wrong, the more I cry. I felt another warm tear leave my baby blue orb.

"Bubbles what happened?" Buttercup asked also. She can get over protective at some times when it's nesessary.

"Nothing." I simply said. "It's just.." I paused as I wiped a tear about to fall. I knew I was gonna cry and hiccup a lot, so I sat down between my sisters and hugged them both tightly as tears fell. I let them go and hid my face on Buttercup's shoulder.

"It's Boomer!" I managed to say. My voice came out shaky. Buttercup snarled while Blossom looked surprised. Boomer had once promised Blossom that he was never gonna hurt me. He promised that since we started dating. And Buttercup was there when he made that promise.

"What did he do?" Blossom asked. I hiccuped and couldn't answer her question. I had to calm down first.

"What did he do to you?" Buttercup demanded. She moved her shoulder up and down slowly, shaking me lightly, not moving me from her shoulder.

"H-he-e he w-was k-kissing-ing B-Brat." I said. More tears left my eyes as I hiccuped rapidly. Buttercup put her right arm around me. "I was gonna go visit him because he said he was sick. And I thought he was lying because of all the other excuses he has told me because supposely he was busy or something. So I went to his house and into his room and i saw them."

"That little m-" she caught Blossom's stern glare before she could finish her sentence.

"I thought he made a promise!" Blossom said.

"He's a Rowdyruff Boy! Of course he was going to break the damn promise if he fucking wanted to! We told you about this, Bubbles! We warned you!" Buttercup said as she hugged me tighter. Blosson gave her a stern look again but my green-eyed sister ignored it. Blossom let it slip since it wasn't a time to argue with Butteercup right now.

"Don't worry, Bubbles. I know how it feels and I will make sure that he won't get near you." Blossom told me.

"Do I need to kick his ass?" Buttercup asked. I shook my head.

"You know I don't like to solve things with violence that much." I told her as I wiped a tear. The only times when I solve a problem with violence is toward a criminal that commited crime.

"Fine. But only because you said it." Buttercup said.

"But wait, do you even know if he wanted to kiss Brat? You know how she is. She tries anything to get get Boomer and you apart so she can be with him and have him all for herself. What if she went to his house and she kissed him? And not he kissed her intentionally. Was he even kissing back?" Blossom questioned. She has a point.

"Well, no, he wasn't. In fact, I saw him trying to push her away." I told her. I was calming down a bit, but I would still hiccup a little every ten seconds.

'You see?" "But this explains all the lies he has told me. He was trying to cover up the times he was with her." Blossom had a point, but why else would the lies be for? I felt more tears build up. Blossom scooted closer to me and hugged me like Buttercup was doing.

"Don't worry, Bubsy. Don't worry." Blossom whispered as she rubbed my back.

I know my sisters would be there whenever I need them.

Normal P.O.V

Boomer was in his room, thinking if he should just tell Bubbles everything and show her the gifts. But he wanted it to be a surprise.

Boomer looked at the dog beside him. He never noticed how big its hazel eyes were. They looked as big as his brothers and Bubbles' sister's eyes.

"Watch out!" Boomer yelled. The puppy was laying down on the edge of the bed and it was slipping down. Before Boomer could catch it, it was already falling down. Boomer closed his eyes, waiting for the hard, loud thud.

But he didn't hear anything.

Boomer opened his eyes snd saw the dog floating, its tongue out. Boomer dtared in dhovk. The dog had superpowers? Awesome! The dog landed on the bed, laying bavk down. Wow.

Boomer faced his dark blue door as he heard a knock before it opened up.

"Hey, Boom." Butch came in.

"Hey." Boomer said simply as he looked at the floor sadly.

"Bubbles still mad at you?" Butch asked.

"Yeah. It just happened yesterday. Of course she is still mad. If I tell her that Brat was the one who kissed me, she wouldn't believe me because of all the other lies I've told her." Boomer replied.

"I think you should just leave the surprise and tell her the truth. I know she'll understand it. She just has it all wrong and if you tell her, she'll get it."

"But I worked hard to keep it. I even had to lie to her."

"But you're fucking losing her, bro." Butch said. "Forget that damn surprise and tell her everything. Or you prefer to lose her than tell her the truth and get her back and then give her the stupid gifts?" Butch questioned. Boomer thought about it.

Butch didn't understand why he was even thinking about it. He could see his brother still had some stupidness in him. "Go tell her the truth or else you'll lose her, dummy!" Butch said as he opened the window, signaling Boomer to get out.

"You know I can just get out through the front door?" Boomer asked.

"Get the fuck out!" Butch yelled. Boomer zipped out the room, but not before he picked up the necklace Bubbles threw on the ground earlier.

"Don't forget to get out my room!" yelled Boomer.

Boomer's P.O.V

I knocked on Bubbles' house door and waited for someone to open up. While I waited, I looked at the silver necklace that I held. It was real silver, and very beautiful. It had a dark blue heart-shaped diamond with little sparkly diamonds surrounding it. All were real diamonds. I remember I also had to work hard to get this for her. It was very expensive. I told Bubbles that i was working to get her a gift. I didn't tell her what it was, though. But I will do anything to get Bubbles the things that make her happy. I love seeing her happy. I placed the necklace inside my pocket when the door flew open. I saw a girl with auburn red hair and pink eyes.

"Hey, Blossom. Is Bubbles home?" I asked. Blossom didn't smile at me like she usually did when I came. Her face was somewhat a glare.

"Yes. But I don't think she would wanna see you. You totally don't have to lie to her anymore to be able to go be with Brat. I don't understand why you even came here. Just go." Blossom said coldly. She was about to close the door but I held it open.

"Please, Blossom. It's all a misunderstanding! I love Bubbles. Can you just let me talk to her?" Blossom looked at me for a while before replying, "Fine." she opened the door wide and I came in.

"You hurt her again or make her cry, I'll get Buttercup on you." Blossom threatened.

"Look, I'll be more confortable if I tell you first." I said. Blossom closed the door and headed to her livingroom. I followed.

"Look, all the lies I said to Bubbles were for a reason. A good reason. Not to get out of anything." I said as she sat down on a couch. I sat by her. "I was working on some temporary jobs to get her a Valentine's Day present. The present is at my house. I swear that I never lied to Bubbles to be with Brat. Cross my heart." I said as I did the cross my heart signal. Blossom stared at me. "I love Bubbles. I really do. And I would never do anything to hurt her."

"Okay so, the lies were so she wouldn't know you were working to get her a gift?" Blossom asked. I nodded.

"Yes. I wanted it to be a surprise."

"How do you explain the whole "Boomer and Brat were kissing" thing? Bubbles told me you were kissing her." Blossom told me. I sighed.

"Brat kissed me. Brick told me there were visitors and I thought it was Bubbles. So I hid the present and the door opened. That's when I saw it was Brat. She just started to flirt with me. I told her to get out. I grabbed her back and I was leading her to the door but she turned around and kissed me halfway out the door. I never kissed her back. She was the one who started it. I was trying to push her away but I couldn't. You know we're all evenly strong." I told her. Blossom grinned.

"I knew it! That's why I let you inside! So you could explain! I knew that Bubbles had it all wrong! Now go tell her. You have me on your side. And you'll have Buttercup on your side soon, too." Blossom said as she stood up and went up the steps to Buttercup's room. She looked at me and pointed to Bubbles' door, signaling me to go there. I stood up and did as told. Er, umm, signaled.

Normal P.O.V

When Boomer was in front of her door, he knocked on it lightly and called her name. "Bubbles?" he asked. There wad slight crying comimg from the inside, but it died down when Boomer called her name. There was shifting before the door opened up. Bubbles looked up at Boomer and her face turned into a glare.

"What do you want? Don't you have someone to be with?" she asked.

"Bubbles, you have it all wrong. Brat was the one that kissed me. I have two people on my side. I-"

"Your brothers? If they are, I won't believe it." she was about to close the door put Boomer held it with his hand.

"No, your sisters. Just let me explain everything I did. The lies, and the Brat thing."

"No." she was about to close the door again but this time, Buttercup came and held it open.

"Let him explain, Bubbles." Buttercup demanded. Bubbles looked confused.

"Buttercup? Wh-"

"Just let the boy explain." Bubbles slowly opened the door wider and moved aside for Boomer to come in. Her face still held the same confused expression.

"I'll be here outside. Just let him explain everything. He has me and Blossom on his side." Buttercup told Bubbles.

"But-"

"Butts are for pooping. Just go." Buttercup pushed her inside, not harshly, and closed the door. She stayed outside, leaning against the door quietly so she could listen to the conversation. She saw Blossom coming up the steps and signaled for her to come. Blossom joined her.

Inside, Bubbles stood in front of Boomer, waiting.

"So?" she asked.

"First, the lies. The reason I made all those exuses up were for good. Not to cheat or any of that. The reason I lied was because I..." Boomer paused. He didn't want to tell her. It was supposed to be a surprise. But what Butch had told him earlier was right. He was losing her. "I was working three jobs to be able to buy you a Valentine's Day present, okay? I wanted it to be a surprise. But it just didn't work." he finished.

Bubbles now knew she was wrong all along. She didn't know. And now she ruined his surprise for her with her dumb thoughts. Bubbles now knew that part of the story, but he still didn't explain the whole Brat thing. That was a reason to be mad for.

"What about Brat? Why were you two kissing? And weren't you supposely sick?"

"The sick thing was one of the excuses I made up to cover up that I was working. Because if you knew I was working, then you'd know that Valentine's Day was near and then you'd know that I was working for a present." Boomer explained more. "Brat had just come to my house for no reason at all. Brick let her in because you know that he doesn't know Brat wants you and us seperated and that she'll do anything to do it." Boomer looked at Bubbles for a second. He saw that Bubbles seemed to understand everything. He watched as she sat down on her bed. "She was the one who kissed me. I was leading her out the door when she turned around and kissed me. I tried to pull away but you know how we're all evenly strong. (A/N: Just pretend they are) Since we all have Chemical X in us." Boomer said.

"I told Blossom and Blossom told Buttercup. It's true." Bubbles seemed to get it. She was definately wrong all along. But wouldn't you think the same thing if you saw what Bubbles saw?

"Boomie, I'm sorry. It's just that I put two wrong pieces together. Because all the lying and then seeng you and Brat. I thought that you were with her. I'm sorry." Bubbles stood up and hugged Boomer tightly.

"I should've gotten your side of the story."

"It's okay, Bubs." Boomer said as he hugged her back.

He pulled away and pushed his hand in his right front pocket. He pulled out his hand and it held the beautiful necklace Bubbles took off with anger yesterday. Bubbles saw the necklace and smiled. She turned around and grabbed her hair, getting it out the way. Boomer put the necklace around her and tried to fix the part where Bubbles had pulled it, making it rip. All he had to was open one of the small chains, put in the other chain and close the chain tht he had to open. But it was hard to do all that due to how small the necklace chains were.

Outside of the door, Blossom and Buttercup smiled at each other.

"I knew they were gonna get back together soon or later." Buttercup said.

Blossom nodded."Boomer really loves Bubbles, doesn't he?" she asked as she and her green-eyed sister headed downstairs. Buttercup nodded a yes.

"And you really love Brick, don't you?" she randomly said. Blossom's cheeks turned a fiery red. "I-I d-do not. You like Butch!" Now it was Buttercup's turn to blush.

"Shut up!" she yelled as he cheeks got more and more pink. She walked down the steps fast, tfying to get away from Blossom.

Back inside the room, Bubbles waited patiently for Boomer to fix her necklace. And as she did so, she thought about how crazily she was thinking. Boomer? Cheating on her with Brat? It sounds impossible yet she actually thought it was happening. But Bubbles knows that Boomer will never do anything to hurt her feelings. He had worked hard to win her heart and he wouldn't just throw all that away to be with Brat. Bubbles sighed as she smiled. She loved Boomer. Very much. And the idea of him being with Brat killed her. They were back together, right? He apologized, after all.

"Close your eyes." Boomer said. Bubbles smiled and closed her eyes shut. Boomer walked closer to her and stopped when he was only inches away from her. Boomer whistled and Bubbles made a confused look, her eyes still closed.

"Bubbles..." he paused. "will you be my valentine?" he asked as the dog came flying from the window.

Bubbles gasped as she saw the present and hugged Boomer tightly. Obviously, she will be his valentine.

"Yes. Yes! I would love to!" she said happily. When she pulled away, Boomer held the fluffy ball he had in his arms. Bubbles carefully took the puppy, hugging it tightly and petting its curly, soft, white fur.

"It's so cute! Is it a boy or girl?" Bubbles asked.

"It's a girl." Boomer said. "It has superpowers." Bubbles squealed in excitement.

"We're both gonna take care of it. Together." Boomer said. Bubbles smiled at him.

"And I also wanted to ask you something else." he started.

"What?" Bubbles asked. The puppy leapt out of her arms and onto the floor.

"Just to make sure. Will you be my girlfriend again?" Boomer asked. Bubbles nodded her head repeatedly and answered,

"Yes! Absolutely!" Bubbles pulled him into another tight hug.

"Sorry I didn't get you a gift or anything. I just thought that you were gonna break up with me later on so I thought 'what's the point in buying him something?'"

"It's alright. You're the only gift I could ever want." When they pulled away from the hug, they looked into each others eyes deeply. Boomer leaned in, Bubbles leaned in, both slowly closing their blue eyes. Their lips touched, and they shared a sweet, passionate kiss. Bubbles couldn't help but smile as the kiss went on. Boomer pulled away and smiled.

Both blues turned to the dog as it barked at them, trying to get their attention. The dog jumped on Bubbles' arms, and Bubbles hugged it tightly.

"So, what are we gonna name her?" Boomer asked.

"She's soft. Has a lot of fur. Is really cute. How about fluffy?" Bubbles asked.

"Fluffy?" Boomer repeated.

"Fluffy it is." he confirmed. The white puppy once again jumped out of Bubbles' arms, landing safely on the carpeted ground.

"We're acting as if we were naming a baby." Bubbles said as she giggled. She sat on her bed and signaled for Boomer to sit by her. So he sat beside her.

"It's like a practice for when we have our baby. The only difference is our baby will have a real name not a dog name." Boomer said as he wrapped an arm around his three-year-old-and-at -the-same time-new girlfriend. Bubbles blushed.

"Yeah. Practice for when we have our baby." she repeated. Her and Boomer were seventeen. They promised each other they would get married and try to have children at eighteen. Eighteen and just married. Bubbles couldn't wait until she had her little miracle on her arms. She couldn't wait until she had her kid. Bubbles loved babies and she wanted one of her own. But she just had to wait. One more year.

Boomer looked at Bubbles as she played with her fingers. She sensed someone looking at her and she turned to him. Boomer smiled warmly and Bubbles smiled back.

"I love you." Boomer told her a he caressed her cheek.

"I love you, too." Bubbles said. She smiled and closed her eyes as Boomer leaned in for a kiss.

The way this Valentine's Day went was unexpected. But luckily, it worked out and turned out okay.

A/N: So did you like it? Sorry it was late... My other special, All I Want For Christmas Is You, was late, too. I don't know what's wrong with me and specials! But oh well. It's better than nothing!
