Bubbles and Butch had been dating for a little over a year now, it was nearing the end of their final year of highschool, and the two of them were trying to decide on what post secondary school to go to. Butch had been accepted into many different colleges for his sports, while Bubbles had been accepted to some for her cheerleading and her relatively high grades. There just wasn't that many they were both accepted into.
"I really want to go to the same college as you." Bubbles said as she nuzzled her face against his shoulder, the two of them were sitting on the couch in her living room, looking over their acceptance letters. Butch ran a hand through her light blonde hair, "Me too, what about this one?" He said as he held up a local college brochure, "I don't know…" She mumbled, hand on her chin, in thought.
He browsed through the list of other colleges with her, she held one up with a smile spreading on her face, "How about this one? It offers every sports team you're already on, and their cheerleading team seems promising, and if we wanted, we could rent an apartment really close to the school." She mumbled the last part quietly, a little awkwardly, as she turned her head away from him. A dark blush was forming on both of their cheeks, his dark green eyes were wide, in shock.
"You…want to rent an apartment together?" He finally asked, lifting his hand to her chin and tilting her head towards him.
"W-Well..I don't think it would be so bad, I mean….We've been dating nearly a year, and we were friends before that, and we could save money by renting an apartment compared to being in a dorm room and-" Bubbles began, but was cut off by Butch placing his hands lightly on her cheeks and tilting her head towards him. "Bubbles, I would love to rent an apartment with you." He said, as a wide smile spread across his cheeks. "I'm so glad to hear you say that! I was worried it would be too weird." She said and flung herself into his arm, her own arms wrapping around his neck as she giggled.
Butch wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her onto his lap, pushing the post secondary information aside for now. "Well look at you two all happy and cute, did you decide on where you're going?" The Professor asked as he walked through the living room towards the kitchen. "Yeah I think we've finally decided." Butch said with a grin. "Well I'm happy for the two of you, although things sure will be quiet without anyone around anymore." The Professor said with a slight shake of his head.
"Don't worry Professor! We won't be going far, and since we can fly, we'll make sure to come and keep you company on weekends." Bubbles said, getting up from Butch's lap. "You don't have to come keep me company Bubbles, thank you. Although I would love for you all to visit me every once in awhile." He said with a warm smile.
"We will, don't worry." Butch said as he stood up too. "I'm going to go work on a new experiment in my lab, I've been waiting to start since I got the idea in the grocery store this morning. Call me if you two need anything." The Professor said before heading downstairs into his lab.
"I'm going to miss him so much." Bubbles said as she wrapped her arms around Butch and buried her face in his shirt. "I know, but you can see him anytime you want, almost like a normal school day." Butch said, holding her body close to his. She nodded and sighed. "I guess you're right." She mumbled. "You seem kind of glum now….I think I know what can turn that frown upside down." He said as he pulled away lightly.
"What?" She asked, lifting her bright blue eyes to meet his dark green ones, "I guess I could let you drive my motorcycle, if you want to that is." He said, rummaging through his pockets for his keys. Her blue eyes instantly lit up with excitement, "Really?" She asked, grinning from ear to ear as she began to bounce up and down.
He pulled the keys from out of his pocket dropped them into her small, waiting hand, and not a second later she was dashing out of the house and towards his motorcycle giggling with excitement. "Adorable." He mumbled as he slowly followed her. "Thank you Butch for letting me drive it." She grinned, "I would do anything to see that breath taking smile of yours Bubbles." He said, kissing her forehead before placing her helmet over her head.
She blushed and smiled at him, "I love you." She said as she got onto the bike, "I love you too." He grinned, putting his own helmet on and getting onto the bike behind her. "Now I get to wrap my arms around your waist instead of the other way around." He chuckled as he lightly slid his arms around her waist, she could feel the heat radiating off his body from their close proximity. "Don't fool around Butch or I will end up driving into a ditch." She giggled and they began speeding down the road.
"Would you mind driving over to my house? There's something I'd like to grab from there." Butch asked her, she nodded, "Of course I wouldn't mind, but I'm taking all the back roads so I get to drive longer." She said without even looking back at him.
When they arrived at his house he got up off the bike and set his helmet down, shaking out his almost shoulder length black hair, and heading inside. "I'll be right back." He called out. Bubbles pouted slightly, taking off her own helmet and shaking out her honey blonde hair, that was let down out of its pigtails.
She turned her head towards the garage which was beginning to open slowly, "Hmm?" She hummed as she slowly got off Butch's bike and walked closer to the garage. "Butch?" She asked softly. When the doors opened fully she gasped at the sight in front of her. Butch stood in the center of the garage, and beside him was a baby blue coloured motorcycle, matching his own, although a different colour.
"You didn't." She said.
"Oh but I did." He grinned.
"You got me a motorcycle?" She asked, rushing towards him and tackling him in a hug, "I didn't get you one, I built you one." He said, hugging her back and lifting her up off her feet. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and her arms loosely around his neck, "You built me a motorcycle?" She asked, her eyes shining in amazement.
"You loved mine so much, and as much as I love riding with you, I thought you should have your own for when we're not together, or if we wanted to possibly look super awesome." He said, "Butch I love you so much! Thank you! I love it! And it's in my colour!" She cheered, kissing all over his face before hopping out of his arms and taking a closer look at the bike. "It's beautiful, I love it. Thank you." She smiled, pecking his lips.
"I'm glad you do, I spent a long time figuring everything out for it, it's a lot different from when I'm fixing up cars with my brothers, so it was a little tricky. Definitely worth it." He said, "Oh and here, these are for you." He said holding out the keys to her new motorcycle. She took them and cradled them in her hands, "I will take you everywhere." She said, talking to the keys in her hands. He chuckled, "Why don't you take it for a test drive?" He suggested.
"Okay! But I'll only drive around the block, then I'll be right back." She said, rushing over to his bike to retrieve her helmet, putting it on and getting onto her bike. "You're so good to me." She said before starting the bike and speeding off. He could hear her shout from down the street, "It runs like a dream!" and he smiled, "Definitely worth it."
"You really do make her happy." Butch turned towards the voice that spoke, it was Boomer, his younger brother, and the counterpart to Bubbles. "Of course I'm jealous of what you have with her, much like Blossom, I thought all the counterparts would end up together. But I can see now how much we were wrong." Boomer said, making his way over to Butch and lightly patting him on the back.
"I'm glad you two worked out, and I'm glad you're happy Butch. If anyone deserves to be happy it's you." He continued, giving a small smile to his brother before heading back inside. "Thanks Boomer." Butch said, although his words fell on deaf ears because Boomer had already disappeared.
"Maybe someday, you'll me as lucky as me." Butch said, just as Bubbles was pulling into the driveway, a huge smile lighting up her whole face.
