"Why didn't he tell us that THE Professor Utonium was the friend he we were staying with?" Asked Brick lounging on the couch in the game room that intersected the boy's rooms. "It would have been nice to have some warning."

"Well he's kind of a spaz. You know that." added Boomer. Butch and Brick muttered agreement.

"Shut up." Blossom hit Buttercup when she laughed and continued to watch the screen that displayed the boys.

"Sorry I forgot they might here us through the screen." Buttercup sassed earning her a dirty look from Blossom and a giggle from Bubbles.

"Those girls look better than in pictures, I didn't know people could be that perfect." Boomer said sullenly.

"No they didn't." Brick chided. "They looked like normal girls just ones with a rich daddy."

"You sound jealous." Butch smirked.

"Of course I am. They had their whole life handed to them."

"Have you forgotten that you're a rich spoiled boy?" Boomer joked.

"No, you know what I mean."

"Daddy problems." Buttercup sang under her breath.

"I hear that." Blossom whispered.

. . .

"You guys are starting your tour next year right?" Bubbles chirped pulling out a bowl of strawberries. The Puffs and Ruffs were gathered in the kitchen for a bit of breakfast before school.

"Worldwide." Said Butch.

"That's cool. We came back from a worldwide tour last month. It was grueling." Bubbles sighed checking that she had backed Belle clothes for school. It was a lot of work with the Ruffs around, they had to dress up in the morning as pop stars yet arrive at school as the Uranium triplets.

"True that." Buttercup agreed.

"Well I'm sure we can take it." Brick said confidently.

"Oh yeah?" Asked Buttercup, who was rather bitchy this morning due to the ruffs being there. She had stopped picking these kinds of fights with her sisters forever ago.

"Yeah." Boomer said cutely confident.

"Oh, yeah?" She said smirking.

"Of course, we already practice every day. This is no problem." Butch cut in.

"That's what we said." Bubbles said happily grabbing a handful of strawberries.

"Well, we aren't you." Brick said.

"Okay." Bubbles chimed, and then she grabbed the bowl and left the kitchen singing "Practice time girls!"

"I wonder where they practice." Boomer questioned after the Puffs had gone. "I keep finding new corridors in this place. This morning I walked into a room that said 'Bullet' on the door thinking they had a gun collection and got yelled at by a pissy squirrel."

"What?" Butch laughed.

"I asked Bubbles about it later and she said 'oh she's just visiting' and when I asked from where she said 'I don't know. She has her own life.' That was a squirrel. A squirrel!

"You got bitched out by a squirrel."

"Shut up."

"Time for school." Brick whined slumping out of the kitchen.

. . .

The girls were used to changing in the car, but having to add all the extra things that made them 'Uraniums' was a bit more difficult.

"Why are these extensions so difficult? Buttercup whined trying to adjust her hair to secure the large black spot at the back of her head. The rest of the extensions had locked on and turned blonde already.

"I'll fix it for you in a second." Blossom called pulling a red baseball shirt over her brunette hair. "Hurry up and change though." She threw a green TMNT t-shirt at Buttercup for her to put on.

Bubbles wasn't having quite as much trouble as her sisters were. She pulled a gigantic blue sweater over her tank top and change into polka-dot leggings.

"Why won't this work?" Buttercup was now fully dressed, Bubbles had helped her tie up her Nikes when Buttercup haphazardly shoved her foot next to her face.

"You are connecting the wrong end." Blossom said a second before the raven spot of hair became sun shiny blonde. "Here." Blossom put a beanie on Buttercups head because it wouldn't be Billie if she didn't.

"Thanks." Buttercup said dabbing chestnut x-eye shadow on her lid. Her eyes immediately changed from their trademark green color to a soft hazel color. Then she put some x-bronzer on to distort her square face shape and give her a slimmer face. After that process it would be next to impossible to identify her as someone from the PPG.

Blossom (now in a red sweatshirt and a blue button up) dabbed on x-eye shadow in the same color as Buttercup and x-blush so that freckles appeared across her cheeks and nose, before she took the brush she was using and patted some on Bubbles. Once she was Bonnie she wasn't exactly ugly, none of them were. Buttercup was boyish. Bubbles was messy-looking, but the real reason they were bullied time after time could only be attributed to high school being a scary place full of mean and unforgiving people.

Bubbles let down her hair so that it lay in a halo of soft blonde waves down her shoulders. She put a little black x-eye shadow on, it made her bright blue eyes more of a navy color but it didn't do much(it did more than the brown however, the brown just highlighted the golden flecks in her eyes).

At school the girls went their separate ways. Blossom walked to math, in the halls people stared at her, always scooting back to avoid touching her. Bubbles had the opposite problem. People pushed her into walls she had to keep her bag close. Sometimes some funny guy would take it and play monkey in the middle with her. Buttercup was completely ignored, sometimes she'd get rammed into and someone would spread a rumor about a poltergeist in that hall that wants revenge on cute girls because they died of being so ugly.

"You're in this class too." Said Butch passing Belle to sit next to Brute in Japanese. Then for the rest of class he bragged loudly about how he had to learn other languages for his world tour. "I want to be able to thank my fans." He said

He looked back at Belle from the front of the class when he made a joke but turned his head with a 'tch' when he saw Belle's passive face. Brute stopped laughing and looked back at belle with cold eyes. She made a mental note to run to her next class.

Billie had PE second period; it was her favorite class despite always being picked last. They were playing dodge ball with the boys and Billie was in the zone. A storm of balls came at her but she blocked most of them with the ball she held and dodged the others.

Twenty minutes in Billie was the only one in the game on the girl's side. On the boys side was Butch, he had all the support of both teams but Buttercup wasn't discouraged. He began to throw a brigade of balls at her but she was limber enough from dancing to dodge them all. They bounced past her and rained down on the girls that sat against the wall behind her. She snickered when one hit Princess and she cried out.

"Nice job giving me all your balls." She taunted loading up on ammunition.

"If you could dodge that then I can take anything you—"Butch jumped out of the way of a particularly dangerous throw. It sped past his ear and landed against the wall with a great thud.

"I was going easy on you because you're a girl, but if this is how you want to play it-game on." The two threw ball after fastball at each other. Butches balls were coming in a pattern high low fast ball to the chest, Buttercup didn't think he notice he was doing it, but she started in her own pattern, duck jump spin away and throw. Despite their ferocity, this went on with hardly an end in sight, eventually Ms. Craig their teacher had to stop them because the bell was about to ring.

"You were great!" Princess exclaimed in an effort to console his pride.

Buttercup left immediately to clean herself up. It had been a while since she had gotten this sweaty from anything. In the dressing rooms Billie took her hair out of its hair tie and ran cool water on her face. The water felt refreshing against her skin. She made a mental note to challenge butch to basketball later and left the dressing rooms early because Princess was already snooping around to find her.

Buttercup felt free walking down the empty hall. No one looking at her no one teasing her. She stopped by her locker to switch out her books. She fixed herself again, taking a long look at her green eyes. They were green? Buttercup realized what was wrong. She was Billie but her face was Buttercup's.

"Shit Shitty shit shit." She breathed reaching in to get the emergency x-kit she had.

"Billie!" Buttercup froze at the sound of his voice. "That Is you right?" Buttercup moved her cursing inward and maneuvered her arms inside her locker doing her best to not move her head as she dug threw her the x-kit.

"That was amazing during dodge ball." Butch said coolly. "What are you doing in there?" He asked as if just noticing.

"It's nice in here. Cold." Buttercup said.

"Okay." Butch said uneasily.

"So what do you want?" She asked.

"Can, can you come out of there?"

"Yup, one second." Buttercup came out of the locker hoping she did a good job and smiled uneasily at Butch. "Yes?"


Thank you for all the feedback on this story, especially ConformityisNonsense for your detailed and helpful reviews. On this website the stories are often she's mean and slutty vs she's nice and pretty I don't think that reflects the real world so I try to write characters in the gray instead of it always being black and white so expect to see more things from the Punks pov.
