"Hey."

I didn't look up just chuckled, then it hit me, my head shot up.

Can I talk to you."

Bubbles let out a 'humph' and said,

"Better not let Brick catch you with him."

I shot her a look that made her shut up. I walked out and slowly closed the door behind me.

"I saw you today, you didn't call me." 'Ace has emotions?'

"You're probably curious about how I look the same. Well, after we parted ways I found Princess and she told us she could let us stay teenagers, for a
decade. It was interesting, I couldn't say no. Mostly because, I'd get another shot at you. That's why I'm here. I know I messed up real bad, but I want to
make it up to you. Just call me."

Just like that, he left I stood there dazed as he walked down the street. Then I heard Brick's car, 'How am I gonna explain this to him? Wait is that...
Blossom?!'

I hid behind a bush and watched Blossom kiss Brick goodbye and get out of his car.

'Who's gonna tell Boomer?' I sat and buried my face in my knees, I couldn't hold back the tears.

I got up the strength and walked into the house. Inside Blossom was acting all innocent talking with Bubbles, I walked up to her and said,

"Either you tell Boomer or I do."

Blossom glared at me as I walked up the stairs. I went straight into my room and grabbed my phone, sat on my bed, and searched my
pockets for Ace's number. If Brick had seen me take it, he surely would've gone berserk (ha-ha). I fumbled to find the number.

[Hey, I need to talk to you. Let's meet up at your old hideout. Tonight. -B]

I looked around and pressed send. 'What have I done?' just then, my phone buzzed.

[Great! See you then. ;-)] 'Winky face?' just then Blossom burst into my room.

"What do you mean either you tell Boomer or I do?"

"I saw you and Brick, you kissed him." I tried not to look at her, I was still hurt.

"Listen, Boomer cheated on me with Princess, Brick was there when I needed him."

She sat down on my bed next to me, hesitant to touch my shoulder. I turned around to look at her, my eyes were watering, my voice was sharp,

"How long?"

Blossom looked down, then at me, she must've just realized that I wasn't going to back down,

"Two weeks." She looked down, I started screaming,

"Two weeks? You've been seeing Brick for two weeks? Behind my back! I thought you my sister!"

"Buttercup, I am. I'm sorry, I thought you two broke up."

like that mattered to me.

"No, you can have him, and we might be sisters, but we will never be friends."

I walked out and slammed the door behind me. She called after me, but I kept walking. I grabbed my leather jacket and purse off of the couch down stairs and shoved my phone in my pocket. I put my jacket on as I reached the door, I looked back at Bubbles and slammed the door.

I slid down against the door and started crying. After a while, I put myself back together and wiped off my face. I had quite a walk to clear my head.

'Why'd I have today tonight?'

I quickly made my way to the city dump. As the sun went down I reached the entrance. The moon was high in the sky by the time I got to their door. I
knocked, looked down and thought,

'What am I doing?'

I started to walk away, when he opened the door. He grabbed my shoulder and pulled me in closer, I wrapped my arms around him. A lone tear ran down my face. I buried my face in his chest, he grabbed my chin and raised my face. I stared deep into his eyes, he stared into mine. I smiled and chuckled, he let go and I looked down.

"Please come in."

I walked in and placed my jacket and purse on the chair next to Snake. I ran my hand through my hair and sat down. I looked at the guys and smiled.

"It's been a while hasn't it?"

I chuckled,

"Too long."

They all stared at me and Ace took the chair next to me. No one said a word. I looked at them, then at Ace. They all looked confused. I played with the deck in front of me, but put it down and grabbed my stuff. I stood up and headed for the door.

"It was a bad idea coming over here, I'm sorry."

I closed the door behind me and headed back. Ace ran out after me.

"Wait!"

"Wait!"

he grabbed my shoulder. I turned around and apologized,

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come."

"No! I mean, I don't really know what to say... I'm still in shock that you agreed to talk to me. I... I'm sorry."

"You don't know what to say..."

I was just thinking out loud, I chuckled and started heading back towards the entrance. He grabbed me again and screamed,

"No!"

He pulled me in, kissed me, just like I always dreamt it would be, passionately, and hugged me, I put my face down, and he kissed my forehead. He whispered,

"Don't go."

I was stunned. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to their hideaway. They were grouped together by the door.

"Ahem,"

all he had to say.

"Oh... Bye."

They were as confused as I was. When they left, I looked at him,

"They'll be back. With pizza."

I laughed. He pulled me in close. Our noses touched, our eyes met, he hit a button and rock music started playing, I laughed

'Finally happiness.'

That is... Until Blossom and Bubbles came bursting through the ceiling.
