Chapter 2
"What do you mean we have to live there!?" Blossom screamed.
They are now standing at the Mayor's office, Blossom discussing the matter of their home. The girls have no idea how to pay their electricity and water bills for a month now and in result they have been shut off.
Bubbles is holding Buttercup's hand for two reasons: one, because she's scared of what' s going to happen to them; and two, it's to restrain Buttercup from screaming at Mayor and Miss Bellum.
"As I've said, Blossom, your father is… gone… " they all flinched at that, "…and according to law, children – even teenagers – under the age of eighteen cannot live on their own." Miss Bellum explained.
Blossom leaned over the Mayor's table, "Please, Mayor. We don't need to go to a foster home. We're more than capable of taking care of ourselves."
"I'm sorry Blossom, but Miss – ah – Bellum, here, told me that both your water and electricity have been cut off." Mayor said.
Blossom stood back, head down, hands on her sides, defeated. Buttercup and Bubbles walked towards their leader and put a hand on her shoulder. Blossom looked at both Bubbles and Buttercup and gave them a small smile.
They turned and left without another word.
Once they were outside the girls flew towards Townsville Park. They landed in front of a bench and sat there in silence.
Buttercup was the first to break the silence, "What the hell are we supposed to do now?" she said, leaning back.
Blossom leaned forward, head down, hands together, "I don't know, Buttercup. We've used the last of the Professor's – not mention our – money." She sighed, "It looks like we have to get jobs."
Bubbles looked at her, "But you said we don't have the time? Besides, even if we do work, whenever a monster or a villain do something we have to skip."
"I know. That's the problem. We won't do a very good job and we would wind up getting fired anyway."
Blossom and Bubbles leaned back as well. All three girls closed their eyes and groaned.
They've only closed their eyes for a couple seconds when they feel their sunlight being blocked. Buttercup opened her eyes and sat up and groaned. Blossom and Bubbles also opened their eyes and sat up, looking at Buttercup confused, then looked in front of them. Blossom groaned while Bubbles only sighed.
The Rowdyruff Boys are standing in front of them smirking.
"What the hell do you jackasses want?" Buttercup practically growled.
Butch only smirked more, "Oh you know. Eavesdropping… "
"… Like what criminals like us do." Brick finished, giving Blossom a pointed look. She just rolled her eyes.
"It sounds like you girls could use a lot of help." Boomer said.
"And it would be beneficial to all of us…" Brick started.
"… If you three would like to stay with us." Butch finished.
Buttercup stood up abruptly at that, "Hell no!"
Blossom stood up as well and put a hand on her shoulder, "Buttercup, wait." She looked at Brick and glared at him, "Why?"
He looked back at her, hands in his pocket, "Why what?"
She put her hands on her hips, "Why would you like us to stay with you?"
"Would you believe it's out of the goodness of our hearts?"
"No." she said bluntly.
Brick put his hand on his chest in mock pain, "Wow, Pinky. I'm hurt. And here I thought to act like a good Samaritan once in a while."
A vein popped in Blossom's temple and glared harder at Brick, "Oh shut the fuck up, Br-"
"Okay!" Boomer interrupted. All girls looked at him, "You wanna know the real reason?"
"It would really help." Bubbles said, arms crossed.
Boomer looked at Butch and Brick to see Butch grinning at Buttercup and her seething, trying to control herself from punching him in the straight on the face. Brick was daring him with his glare to tell them exactly why, and Boomer's having mixed feelings…
… Until he saw Bubble's hopeful face and found new found courage.
Boomer rubbed the back of his neck, "Uhh… you see… Mojo actually got us our own place and well… he sometimes check on us and well, you know us guys, we don't usually clean," he looked at Butch, "and well-"
"Hold up." Buttercup interrupted, "So you just want us there to be your maids!?"
Brick shrugged, "In a way."
Buttercup's fuming now, her hands clenched at her side, "There is absolutely no fucking way we're-"
Bubbles and Blossom yanked Buttercup to the side, a few feet away from the boys. The three of them crouched down and, knowing about the boy's super hearing, lowered their voices so it's a little below a whisper.
"What's the big deal!?" Buttercup scream-whispered.
"I think we should take it." Bubbles said.
Both Blossom and Buttercup looked at her oddly, "What!?" they whisper-screamed.
Bubbles stared at them, "Well, they're offering us to stay with them. I know they're the enemy but really… what other options do we have?"
Buttercup and Blossom looked at each other. Both of them don't want anything to do with the boys, but with the way their living, what other choice do they really have?
They both, though reluctantly, nodded. Bubbles smiled at them and all three of them walked back to where the boys were. Buttercup went back to where she was standing, arms crossed, and a scowl on her face. Blossom stood in front of Brick, a hand on her hip, and a very irritated expression.
She glared at him and growled, "Fine."
All the boy's eyes widened. Brick put his pinkie in his ear and pretended to clean it, "I'm sorry, I didn't get that." he took it out, "What did you say?"
Blossom took a deep breath with her eyes closed. She opened them and looked at each of the boys, looking at Brick last, "I said… f-fine. We'll… help… out." She struggled to say.
Brick and Butch smirked. Brick crossed his arms and Butch put his hands in his pockets, while Boomer flew to a nearby tree and sat on one of its branches, not wanting to be part of the other condition the boys have in mind.
"So~ you girls aren't going to back down?" Butch asked, they, though reluctantly, nodded.
"You sure? You ain't gonna chicken out on us?" Brick asked.
Buttercup glared at him, "Yes! Okay!? Now when do we move in!?" she yelled.
Butch put a finger up and wagged it, "Uh-uh. Before that," he looked at Brick, grinning, and Brick smirked back in return, "there's something that you girls would need to do every time we come home."
Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup looked worried. They're not sure what the boys would want, and they're pretty sure that they wouldn't want to find out.
"THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY I'M WEARING THAT SHIT!" Buttercup yelled.
The boys showed the girls their house and they have to admit, it actually looks pretty decent and is actually pretty big, also considering the fact that the house was messy. The boys showed them their rooms which are right beside the boys', all three having their own room.
Butch also led them to a special closet right beside the bathroom. Inside were three different designs to a lot of costumes that ranged from nurse's outfit to a sailor uniform, and even a playboy bunny outfit.
Blossom turned to Butch, irritation and disgust clear on her expression, "Is this your idea?" she asked, arms crossed.
He put a hand over his chest, mock hurt, "It pains me to be the first to be pointed on." He put both his hands inside his jean pockets, "But, yeah, it was. But Brick didn't disagree."
Blossom turned her head towards Brick with the same expressions that she directed towards Butch but intensified and Brick glared at Butch for aiming the blame at him, "Aren't you supposed to be the leader of you three? Why would you agree to this!?"
He shrugged, "Never really knew that they would be used." He said in a very nonchalant way.
"These are so cute!" All heads turn towards the blonde shifting through the outfits. She felt eyes looking towards her and turned around, sheepishly smiling, "Yes?"
"How can you fucking say that these-these... things... are cute!" Buttercup shouted at Bubbles.
She pouted, "What's wrong with them? They are cute."
"You do know that they're going to make us wear these at some point, right?" Blossom asked.
"I kinda got that. But still, these are adorable!" Bubbles cooed.
Buttercup turned towards the boys, "So what's the connection between these disgusting things and us!?" she demanded, then added, "Either than me burning them to ashes."
Butch and Brick looked at each other, "May I?" Butch asked.
"Be my guest." Brick answered, still smirking.
Butch took out a folded piece of paper from his back pocket and handed it to Bubbles, knowing that she's the only one of the sister's who won't rip the paper to pieces. Butch tapped the paper, "These are the order of the outfits that you three are going to wear the outfits in this closet. We know that you won't be able to pay rent, or for anything really, so this little cosplay will be payment enough..."
"Oh hell no!" Buttercup screamed.
"... And if you don't," he continued, "then have fun sleeping on the streets. Not just the one who wouldn't wear them, but for all you three." Butch finished.
Ha ha! Oh Butch, why so evil?
Okay, so the Hint... not really all that helpful but I'm saying it anyway: It is not a date or anything to do with time ;)
