P.O.V. Blossom
Brick's behavior was strange. I wonder why he and his brothers have been acting so different. They used to just destroy everything in sight and when we came to stop them, they would try to destroy us. How do you just stop being a villain, is that possible? Asking myself is getting me nowhere. Bubbles or Buttercup might have an idea.
I go down to the living room where Bubbles is at the dinner table reading a comic book, I think, she's reading it backwards from right to left instead of left to right. Buttercup is laying on the floor playing a game on the playstation, the professor gave it as a Christmas gift.
"What are you reading, Bubbles?" I ask.
"Fruits Basket." Responds Bubbles.
"You're reading a book about fruit baskets?" I asked puzzled.
"No, it's a story about people with a ability to turn into animals. The animals they turn into are from the Chinese zodiac, including a cat. But they only change when they are hugged. And-"
"I see." I say cutting off bubbles. Not trying to be rude but, when she gets excited she has a habit of saying everything that's on her mind.
"Bubbles, have you noticed how the Rowdy Ruff Boys have been acting lately?" I ask.
"What do you mean, Blossom?" Ask Bubbles looking at me no sure by what I meant.
"I mean, they haven't done anything evil lately. Do you have any idea why they have changed?" I ask more thoroughly.
"It's just weird!" We hear Buttercup call from her game. She pausing her game and joining us at the table. "They haven't robbed any candy stores or broken any vending machines lately." Says Buttercup as she pulls a chair.
"I know, have either of you talk to them?" I ask.
"I've fought Butch, unless you include insults we haven't have any real conversations. But he doesn't seem interested in destroying me anymore." Says Buttercup.
"What makes you think that?" I ask.
"The other day while we were fighting, I got caught in electrical wiring. The electricity knocked me out, Butch could have easily destroyed me then and there but, he didn't. I woke up untangled and laying on the ground without anyone in sight. It was weird." -Buttercup.
"I'm sorry I didn't know this happened Buttercup." Calls Bubbles as she gets up to hug Buttercup.
Buttercup smiles pats her sister on the back and says it ok.
"It's in the past Bubbles, don't worry." Says Buttercup comforting Bubbles.
"I'm glad it worked out, but just like with Boomer and Brick yesterday. It is strange." I say out loud while thinking to myself. I pause remembering I haven't told them about Brick, yet. Sure enough I look up to see them both staring at me.
"What about Brick?" Asked Buttercup with a stern look on her face.
"What happened, Blossom?" Asked Bubbles concerned.
"The other day, I found Brick laying down on top of a building." I state.
"And?" Asked Buttercup wanting more. "We talked." I say. Feeling a slight glare from Buttercup. "You talked to him, what if it was a trap!" Says Buttercup almost yelling.
"I know, but I couldn't help it. When it looked like Boomer saved a bank I had to get answers, if I had called to you two he would have taken off. So I asked him." I say.
"What did he tell you?" asked Bubbles.
Buttercup just stared curious as well.
"Nothing, he didn't tell me anything... wait he did say something." I say recalling the part about school. Buttercup and Bubbles eye grow wide as I finished my statement. "
What did he say?" Asked Buttercup. "
He said they are going to school but, he didn't say what the school was. It's got to be local." I state.
"Well that is something, but why would they go to school?" Ask Buttercup.
"Maybe they turned a new leaf and want to have a proper education."
Claims Bubbles. Buttercup and I just stare at her, Buttercup scoffs at the idea but I remain hesitant.
"Brick did say they weren't villains anymore." I say.
"Why didn't you mention that first, sure them going to school is weird. But claiming not to be villains anymore is, I don't know a BIGGER statement." Says Buttercup clearly annoyed.
"Calm down, yesterday was random. I'm trying to peace it all together. That's why I came down here ask what you two knew." I finished.
Buttercup sighs looks at me then to Bubbles then back to me. "Sorry." She says. "Next time I get in a fight with Butch I'll ask what he knows, no promises. But it wouldn't hurt, right?" She ask as she looks at me.
"Thanks, Buttercup." I say as I hug her. I look at Bubbles who has been rather quite.
She looks at both of us, she puts her mouth to her hand and looks down making a thoughtful expression. Then, she looks back up to us. "I'll try asking Boomer." She says.
I thank her as I pat her on the head, she smiles back. Ok, we are going to find out why the Rowdy Ruff Boys changed... no matter what.
