Blossom was in her bedroom, lying on her bed, deep in thought. As the bet she made with her sister began to sink in a little, she realized that this required some strategy.

Brick was, after all, a Rowdyruff Boy. He was created by the evil Mojo Jojo with his evil intentions. Brick was a complete brute and displaying absolutely no signs of mercy to anyone. Blossom highly doubted that he had one good cell in his body.

Blossom gave a frustrated sigh and held her head in her hands. As the leader of the Powerpuff Girls, she had the ability to create effective tactics, and she could come up with them in less than five seconds. To her dismay, though, this bet had no similar ties with any past experiences. She had no idea where to start.

Bubbles walked in and noticed Blossom's frustration. "You okay, Blossom?" asked Bubbles with worry in her baby blue eyes.

Blossom's head snapped up and locked eyes with her sister. She put on a small smile. "Yeah, I'm fine" she replied quietly.

There was a beat of silence before Bubbles went over to join her sister and spoke again. "You know, you got yourself into a really sticky bet with Buttercup" she said casually.

Blossom sighed. "Don't remind me" she grumbled.

"So how you gonna do it?" asked Bubbles with large, curious eyes.

Blossom shrugged her shoulder. "I really don't know," she replied earnestly.

Bubbles pulled her eyebrows together and folded her arms across her chest. "Hmm," she said. "Well, you have to start somewhere" stated Bubbles. "But put it this way, Blossom. You have to start somewhere…even if it means not really going anywhere…get it?" she suddenly proposed.

Blossom stared at her sister. Bubbles' theory was going under process in Blossom's mind, analyzing everything it could possibly mean.

"Hey! You're not allowed to help her!" exclaimed a voice that came into the room. Buttercup marched in and glared at her sister. "She has to figure it out on her own"

"I wasn't helping her! I just asked her what she was going to do, that's all!" replied Bubbles.

Buttercup then smirked and put her hands behind her head. "I smell an easy victory" she boasted.

Blossom shook her head. "Don't be so sure, Buttercup. I intend to win this bet and I'll do whatever it takes for that to happen" stated Blossom confidently.

Buttercup rolled her eyes. "Yeah, we'll see how you pull through in the next week" she mumbled.

"Oh, Buttercup! I need to see you for a second!" called Professor Utonium from a different room. Buttercup flew out and went to go see what her creator wanted from her.

Bubbles made sure that Buttercup was out of the hearing range and turned to Blossom. "Think about what I said. Find out what Brick is actually like, and then start from there" she whispered and then left the room.

Blossom repeated her sister's words several times in her head, and when an idea finally dawned on her, it felt as if she had seen the light. She searched frantically for a pen and notebook to have this all down on paper, to ensure that she didn't forget.

Once she got her hands on stationary, her hand flew across the paper, jotting notes down as soon as the plan unfolded in her mind.

"Perfect…" she murmured, holding the paper up to the light.

Meanwhile, the little red headed Powerpuff was oblivious to Bubbles watching her the entire time. A smile spread across her face and felt as if she accomplished something. She was quite proud of herself, knowing that she helped Blossom get things going.

As much as Bubbles thought that it was kind of a silly bet, she was a little curious as to how things would turn out. She did know that once Blossom set her heart on something, it would be finished and done well.

Somewhere deep in the forest, was a small shack that once belonged to the villain Fuzzy Lumpkins, but was now the home of the three devils themselves, the Rowdyruff Boys.

The three boys were doing nothing at all. It was a rare moment but it happened from time to time. And even though all villains needed a 'day off', it was absolutely absurd to one of the boys. Brick was tired of sitting around and he needed something to get his adrenaline going.

"BOOMER! BUTCH!" hollered Brick in an impatient voice that shook the entire headquarters.

The two brothers rushed to their leader, who had his arms folded across his chest and tapping his foot, clearly irritated.

"We need to show those stupid, whiny brats a taste of our medicine! Let's go tear up the city real good this time, and make 'em clean up after all of it. Then, we'll make sure to clobber them and show the Powerpuff Girls who runs the town!" he declared, cracking all of his knuckles with an evil smirk on his face.

Boomer and Butch looked at each other.

"Y'know, I'm kind of tired today. I don't really feel one hundred percent..." mumbled Boomer.

"Huh?" cried out Brick in complete disbelief. "Are you telling me, that you don't want to go cause trouble and kick some Powerpuff butt just 'cause you're not feeling 'one hundred percent'?" he spat.

Butch cleared his throat, getting Brick's attention. "I hate to actually admit this, but I'm with Boomer. I don't feel like doing anything today, either" he said lazily.

Brick looked back and forth between Butch and Boomer. He had a look of disgust on his face. "Stop acting like such cowards! I mean it, LET'S GO!" commanded Brick, his frown creasing deeper.

Butch and Boomer went up against Brick. "We don't feel like it!" said the two brother's simultaneously.

Brick felt like punching them both in the face for acting like such ninnies. It sent his temper skyrocketing when people didn't listen to him, let alone ignore his commands. But seeing that he was outnumbered by his brothers, plus also knowing the fact that both of them had similar anger issues, he backed off. For now.

"Fine! More fun for me, then!" he said in defeat and flew out to venture off on his own.

Butch and Boomer shrugged their shoulders and brushed Brick off quickly. Sometimes, not even Brick's own family tolerated his outbursts.

Meanwhile, Brick muttered curse words about his brothers to himself while he made his way to Townsville.

Blossom was currently in the city park, making sure to stay out of the view of the citizens. The reason she did not want to attract attention was because she had the plan in action.

The other reason behind that was because she looked like an absolute wreck. Her heroic attire was torn and dirty, she was missing one of her black shoe's, her usual neat ponytail was now messy, and she had some spots of 'blood' on her face and arms. But in truth, it was all part of the plan. She made herself look like this. Of course, it was done without causing any harm to herself.

The plan that she had come up with was to look as if she was roughly beaten in a battle. Once that was accomplished, she was now in a public place and in hopes of seeing the Rowdyruff Boy's. Even though her main interest was Brick, she knew that they were almost always together, so catching him alone would not only be a bonus but extremely unusual and lucky. Once she spotted the boys, she would somehow have to separate Brick from the rest.

What she intended to get out of this was to see exactly how heartless and cruel Brick was. She would be shocked if he showed any signs of compassion, but she really didn't know what to expect. It was the only plan she had so far and it was definitely worth a shot.

Keeping herself away from the people in the park just so they didn't make a commotion, but staying in a spot where she would be spotted if she called for help, she patiently kept a lookout for the target.

She knew it would probably be a long wait before they decided to destroy the city, but she decided to kill some time by looking at the clouds in the sky. She picked out various shapes and categorized them all as well. But pretty soon, she was getting bored.

She must have been lying there for at least an hour because her muscles felt all stiff. She was about to call it quits for the day, until she saw something soaring through the sky. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she made out the figure. It was Brick, and not only was he the one she was looking for, he was alone. Blossom felt like dancing for joy, even though he was for her rival.

Not wasting any more time, she zapped her lasers not directly at him, but close enough to him to get his attention.

Brick flinched back and paused in the air when he saw the flash of pink light. He only knew one person capable of shooting those kinds of beams. He frantically searched bellow him and his eyes finally narrowed at a girl lying on the ground.

Blossom tried to look as weak as possible when she saw that he was making his way towards her. When she saw him land a few feet away from her, she let out a small cough and a groan.

"B-Brick…" she rasped as she cracked her eyes open weakly.

Brick gave her a confused look. He hesitantly made his way towards her but still kept at a safe distance. "What the heck happened to you?" he asked but it didn't sound the least bit caring.

Blossom frowned. "I just fought a giant monster. Please," she hacked "help me get home"

Brick stared at her for a long time. His large, crimson eyes were intently fixated upon her frame, his eyes scanning her from head to toe. They had captured her in a strange kind of trance once his eyes locked onto hers. His eyes were alive and burning, the light of them drawing Blossom like a moth. She squirmed in her place uncomfortably.

Suddenly, he began to approach her. She blinked a couple of times just to make sure she wasn't imagining it.

Wow, I guess he is capable of doing something right… she thought to herself.

That thought, however, was completely destroyed when he kicked dirt in her face and ran away, laughing. Blossom spit and coughed out some dirt that got into her mouth and used her hands to wipe away the dirt from her eyes.

"I ain't helping you! Catch you later, babe!" he snickered as he flew off into the air.

Blossom felt her face redden from the anger bubbling up inside of her. Sure, it was expected, but it didn't mean that she was pleased with his actions. She quickly made her way home after that and went straight into the washroom to wash the dirt off.

Her impression of Brick was now proven. He was a complete heartless jerk. It was now that Blossom realized that she had a very big challenge ahead of her. But it made her the more determined to change his demeanor and turn him into a positive person.
