Foolish Fate

Chapter Three: The Truth Will Set You Free

I turned around to see that Boomer was gone.

"Tch, moron! I didn't keep my eyes shut."

"Who's the moron this time?"

Butch.

"Butch?"

"Buttercup."

"Butch."

"Buuuttercup."

"Ok, stop it. You're annoying, get out."

"Naaah. So what are you doing back?"

"Just looking around for people to beat up."

"Glad to see you haven't changed a bit."

"I would say the same but then I wouldn't be telling the truth."

He merely laughs my insult off and grins at me again.

"So Boomer was bugging you, huh?"

"How'd you know?"

"Well he um-"

"He told you he was here?"

"Yep!"

"Whatever… SO, what are you doing here?"

"Just checking on you. I can't believe you got hit by a truck! Why didn't you just fly out of the way?"

"If I saw it, I would've you idiot."

He scratched the back of his head and chuckles.

"Oh yeah, you didn't see it."

I merely rolled my eyes at his stupidity he was still the same, and as much as I hated to admit it, it was a relief.

"So, I can't believe you haven't left this rotten ass town yet."

"I can't believe you came back just to beat people up."

"Well to beat you up in particular."

He smiles.

"Glad to see I'm still important to you!"

"What?"

I looked down and sigh as I feel my face heat up when I looked up again he was blushing too.

"Nothing! So um, wanna go get some… I dunno lunch?"

"I would if I could move."

"No problem!" He wraps his hands around me and picks me up. He grins again as he flies out the window and on to the roof.

"Weirdo, put me down."

"Ok, I'll just drop you!"

My eyes widen as he lets go and I fall off the roof.

"Buttercup!"

Shit, I'm gonna die.

I close my eyes as I fall down.

Wait, the fuck?

I'm Buttercup! I don't give up!

I'm the strongest powerpuff girl.

I smirk as I steady myself.

I aim my hands right at the ground and shoot a green laser out of them.

With enough strength I float in the air.

"Butch, you're gonna pay!"

I slowly lower myself down and I glare up at him.

"Bye bye!"

I shoot a laser up at him, which causes him to scream. He falls back onto the roof and I walk away.

The guy got what he deserved.

"Ah, Buttercup, haven't changed a bit?"

"Exactly what Butch said."

"Figures; he always did copy me."

"So you're a role model, good for you."

"I don't understand why you hang out with him after what he said."

"What'd he say?"

"He didn't tell you?"

"Why am I even talking to you? You're just a weak liar!"

I can see his hands glow red as he takes a step closer to me.

"I've grown Buttercup, it's time for you to grow up to."

I turned on him.

"I have to grow up? Oh really? Then tell me EXACTLY what Butch said!"

"HE NEVER EVEN FUCKING LIKED YOU! HE ONLY DATED YOU BECAUSE WE DARED HIM TO!"

I take a step back, I can feel my eyes watering.

"What?"

His eyes widen.
"Buttercup, I mean…"

"No, I know exactly what you mean, I was wrong about you, and Butch, and Boomer. You're all still the same players you were before, you're all still the same jackasses."

"Buttercup…"

"Save it. I just need to tell Blossom and Bubbles I'm leaving the town again, and this time never coming back."

The first tear rolls down my cheek, another goes down with it.

"Buttercup, please stay…"

Seven tears. Eight.

"To think when I was younger I actually looked up to you."

"You what?" I flew up in the air.

"You're all the same, but you, Brick… Out of all your brothers I trusted you the most."

His eyes get even wider.

Ten tears, eleven.

"I'm done with this town, and I'm done with you… Stay out of my life, Brick."

"Buttercup…" He walks towards me and tries to hug me but I shoot a laser at him.

I begin coughing.

I can't stop.

My eye sight is blurring.

I fall to the ground and I keep coughing, but now I'm coughing blood.

The last thing I hear is Brick yelling.

And someone saying;

'I'm afraid she won't make it.'

Damn it.
