I've been wanting to finish the series of just these three one shots. I really hope this one turned out alright. I'm a bit rusty! I hope you enjoy~! ^.^ Have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me!~
"Blossom!" Bubbles whined.
Blossom had been up long before her siblings. She sighed, taking a sip from her tea and scooting her chair back. She began to walk up the stairs calmly.
"Shut up Bubbles! We do this almost every morning!." Buttercup groaned and turned in her bed. Blossom rolled her eyes at their bantering, until she heard Bubbles' soft sniffling. She briskly walked to her bathroom and filled a pail with water. Buttercup's door swung open, as Blossom rushed in and splashed water on her. 'Just another day, isn't it?' Blossom sighed internally, as Buttercup wiped her face off and shook her messed hair.
Blossom placed her hands on her hips, "Buttercup, you know better than to be mean to Bubbles." She stated as she set the bucket aside.
Buttercup scoffed and crossed her arms. "You know I don't mean her harm! It's just… every morning?" the green puff shivered and began to walk to her own bathroom.
"At least I don't have to tell you to get ready." Blossom giggled and left her room. The faint patter of water in the distance made her smile, 'She's finally learning.' Blossom stretched her arms as she walked back down to her cup of tea. She took smalls sips, while gazing out the window. A nice bright and sunny day, once again. She sighed and closed her eyes, until she heard Bubbles' cry once more. Blossom finished her tea and floated up to her sister.
Gently knocking on Bubbles' door she peaked through, casual laughing turned into a more serious note as Buttercup's eyes met with Blossoms."Knock-knock! It's me. What did you need?" Blossom slowly entered Bubbles' room. She rushed over to her younger sister after she saw her laying on her bed sobbing.
"B-bubbles! What happened?" Blossom questioned. Bubbles sniffled and rubbed her eyes.
"I have nothing to wear!" Bubbles sobbed louder into her pillow. Blossom sighed and opened her closest, only to be ambushed my clothes.
"Bubbles you have plenty! Besides you never had trouble finding a new style in the past." Blossom dig her way upwards through the mountain of clothing. Bubbles sat up and hugged her childhood stuffed animal Octi.
"I know! But I need a new way to arrange them and I have no idea what to do!" She hugged Octi tightly. Blossom groaned and picked out a plaid baby blue skirt.
"How is this?" Blossom held it up.
Bubbles nodded. "I-I like it." She stood up next to her pink sister. And looked through her clothes with Octi in one hand and shoes in the other.
"See, you have something to wear." Blossom smiled at her sister. Bubbles hugged Blossom and ran into her own bathroom that the professor built since buttercup complained it was too 'girlie'. Once Bubbles came out in her plaid baby blue skirt, loose white long sleeved frilled shirt, black stockings, and baby blue pumps she went over to Blossom. "B-blossom? Have you ever liked someone so much you would ask them out?" Bubbles blushed.
"Um… Well yes." Blossom blushed and adjusted her voice. "But what is your problem sister?"
Bubbles gulped. "W-well you see… I like Boomer ruff… a-and we've been friends for a while. But I never really asked him if he's ever had feelings for someone. He's so sweet and gentle Blossom! It makes my heart race when I stand next to him." Bubbles cheeks turned bright red. Blossom smiled and hugged her little sister.
"Then you go ask him! I know you can do it!" Blossom looked her sister in the eyes and smiled warmly at her. Hoping it would give her some confidence. Bubbles nodded and squealed excitedly. She rushed down the stairs and out the door to her bike as she waited for her sisters so they could venture to school. Buttercup leaned against Bubbles door frame as she looked at Blossom who was still sitting on Bubbles' bed.
"So she likes a rowdy ruff?" Buttercup moved and stood next to Blossom.
"It seems to be so." Blossom stiffly laughed.
"If he hurts her, you know what I promised." Buttercup stared at her sister seriously.
"Yes, I remember. You'll beat the hell out of the poor fellow." Blossom stood.
"Exactly." Buttercup laughed. "Now it's time to leave." Buttercup exited the room and down to where Bubbles had been waiting. Blossom followed her raven haired sister.
"Let's go!" Blossom cheered as they all got on their bikes and raced off to school. When they arrived Boomer was waiting behind a tree for Bubbles. Blossom spotted him as did Buttercup, but they left it alone so their sister could experience puppy love.
"Let's give them some time alone." Blossom stared at Buttercup to come with her. She rolled her eyes at her sisters growl toward the younger ruff. "Fine." Buttercup spat. Blossom hated watching Bubbles grow up just as much as Buttercup. She remember how boy crazed she was. Blossom shivered at the memories and quickly turned to Bubbles.
"Bubbles, I have to go tutor someone today. Soooo later!" Blossom locked her bike down and ran towards the red bricked school. Bubbles tilted her head.
"That was weird…" Bubbles looked at her sister.
Buttercup had met up with Blossom within the confines of their school. Blossom smiled at Buttercup but quickly noticed her sisters expression drop as Butch approached them.
"Hey Buttercup. Hey Blossom." Butch greeted the two happily.
"Hello pinker. Sup B-cup." Brick snickered as Buttercup growled at him.
"Hi Butch, and Hello Brick."Blossom waved at the both of them.
Buttercup smirked, "Hey butch, Yo low weight."Buttercup roared with laughter as Butch snickered. Blossom quickly covered her mouth with her hand so Brick hopefully didn't see her giggles. She giggled more as Brick began to grit his teeth.
"You said you'd never mention that again!" Brick snapped.
Blossom watched her sassy sister shrug. "Well you were being more of and ass than usual, so I had to pull out the big guns."Her sister mocked and continued to laugh. Blossom remember how she went to watch Buttercups weight lighting competition. Brick waltzed up to her and began to talk about how much he could lift. She scoffed at the thought, which was followed by a snort as she remember the crimson ruff's defeat. "Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday." Buttercup took in a deep breath and laughed with Butch once more.
Blossom blushed as Brick's first instinct was to lock as with her, "Let us go Blossom." Brick tugged her away from the pair. She stumbled for a few steps before regaining her balance. "What was that all about?" Blossom tilted her head as she noticed Brick's bitten lip. His concentration finally broke, "Um, Brick?" She questioned.
"Hm? What? Oh! I was just... I er, sorry!" He quickly let go of Blossoms arm, and rubbed the back of his head. She blushed and held onto her book bag. Her heart raced as she remembered his warmth. Blossom quickly shook her head and snapped back into reality.
"So pre-cal has been pretty easy." She stiffly tried to make a subject of conversation. Which made Brick's dazed expression shed off of him, "Oh! Y-Yeah. It has been. Hey, um, pinkerbell, I was wondering if I may ask you a question."He stammered and shoved his hands into his pockets.
Blossom smiled and looked up at him, "Of course!" She stopped, and turned sharply to face him. Brick's face flushed as she did so. "I was just wondering if you maybe wanted to go… o-out, er, tonight. You know, with me?" Brick gulped, as he looked down at Blossom. Her gaze never leaving his. Her heart raced, as she froze in her place. 'Did he really just ask me out?' She blinked, as her face began to flush.
"I'd love to!" She jumped up and hugged him. 'Ohmygod, Ohmygod, Ohmygod.' Brick reluctantly hugged her back, pulling her close to him. She sighed and buried her face into his chest. Only to hear him adjust his voice. Blossom widened her eyes and quickly retreated from their embrace. "S-Sorry." She blurted nervous. "How about I pick you up at 5'o clock?" Brick choked out. She nodded as her flushed face turned into a faint blush, that kissed her cheeks.
"That sounds perfect." The blushing puff smiled as Brick held out his arm to her once more. She gently took it and placed her other on top of his. Brick tried to withhold his sigh of relief.
Once they reached their class, after an hour of wondering around, Blossom couldn't help but think of what would happen. 'My chest is tightening so much at the thought of him. What's wrong with me? It's just Brick.' She shook her head as she starred out one of the classroom windows. A soft sigh escaping from her. She didn't move from her position until she heard the bell blare. She quickly packed up her books, and hurried to her other classes. She wanted to get through with her schooling as quickly as she could. Each classes passed by, one after the other; until she heard the final bell ring. She floated up above her peers and zipped through the halls to get to her bike. Only to notice Brick leaning against the rack, holding her lock and helmet.
"My, my you're in a rush." He smirked as she hovered back down and retrieved her belongings. She stuck her tongue out at him, with her blush kissed cheeks.
"I am not! It just so happens, that I have to help Amber with a project." She huffed as she rolled her bike back.
"I've never seen you go sonic the hedgehog speed for a project." He chuckled and ruffled her hair. His cool allure had risen once again. Blossom hopped onto her bike hurriedly. She strapped on her helmet and rode next to Brick.
"Just because I'm rushing home to look at outfits, does not mean I'm over thinking things." Blossom puffed out her chest as she began to ride away.
"I'm sure it isn't." Brick smiled, as watched her ride away. Blossom quickly rode her bubble gum pink bike home, and neatly set under the iron canopy. Leaving her helmet and lock in the bike's basket, she rushed into the house. Frantically looking around to see if anyone was home. To her pleasure, she was the first to be there. She hovered up to her room, locking the door after she enter. Her neat room was about to look as if a whirl wind had hit it. She took a deep breath and began to search her closet and dresser for the perfect outfit.
She held up a white button up blouse, and jet black pencil skirt up to herself while looking in the mirror. She scrunched her nose and tossed the ensemble aside. Her next choice was a sleek bubble gum pink dress, with a black satin frill at the bottom hem of the dress, as well as at the waist. She tilted her head back and forth before tossing it aside to the pile.'Now I finally understand what bubbles meant, when she never has anything to wear.' She blew her bangs out of her eyes, and decided to try one more outfit. She held up an onyx colored, off the shoulder top, and a baby pink tightly pleated skirt. She smiled and laid it to the side while she washed up. After her quick shower, she glanced at the clock; reading that it had just turn to be four exactly. She shivered and quickly began to get ready, drying her long hair, and coating on a small layer of makeup. 'Now for the finishing touches.' She thought as she dressed. Checking herself thoroughly in the mirror, she squealed and placed a few sterling silver bracelets upon her wrist. Blossom glanced down at her phone, and notice it was already, 4:50pm. She shivered with excitement, brushed her hair once more before, placing her signature bow on top of her high pony tail. She jumped as the door bell buzzed. 'He's here!' She squealed quietly and opened the door.
"Hey, you're here kind of early." She giggled, as Brick starred at her. "Hey, I heard pictures last forever." She winked, swaying her hips as she passed him, and heading to the passenger seat of his charger. Brick blinked as he rushed to go open her door, "I must say, you do… take my breath away." He gently closed her door, as the charger purred. He smiled and slide across the hood to get to the drivers side. Getting in with one swift motion.
"Wow, you like to make a big entrance don't you?" She bumped her shoulder with his. "Whoa, whoa. Easy there." He winked at her, while he put his seat belt on, "If you get scared, don't be afraid to hold onto me." He smirked at her. She opened her mouth to speak, but right as she did, he switched gears, and calmly back out of her drive way. His eyes flared up as she began to switch gears, to speed up the car. Blossom's eyes widened as she saw the increasing speed.
"S-Stop!" She held onto his arm, and closed her eyes tightly. He smiled and gradually slowed to the speed limit. He leaned over to her, while watching the road and whispered, "Told'ya." He leaned back up and laughed as her cheeks puffed out. Blossom placed her hands into her lap as she noticed all the lights that dangled from the trees, and how the restaurants were filled with laughter. This was a side of Townsville she had yet to see. Brick pulled over to the valet, and gave his keys to the respective man who greeted them with a smile. Blossom held her hands together as she looked around, Brick smiled, as he gazed at her with admiration. She leaned over and subtly point at a small quiet looking restaurant out of the lot.
"I want to go there." She stated, as her eyes fluttered. The lights gleaming within her eyes. He nodded and stuck his arm out for her, she smiled and gladly took it. The strode over to the tiny cafe. The hostess, sat them under the few oaks that they had. The cobblestone mixed well with the wooden look the whole area had. Blossom folded her hands in her lap, glancing around at everything. Brick took the menu in his hand and looked at the cuisine. "A water on el rocks sounds amazing."He winked at Blossom, trying to keep his cool. She smiled and giggled, as she picked up the menu. After a few minutes a cheerful waitress came to their aid, "Hello! My name is Sophia. I will be your server tonight, what would you like anything to drink?" Sophia held her notepad out.
"I'll just have a water." Brick smiled at her. Blossom shivered, as she felt her chest tighten.
"Oh! I'll just have… I suppose a water as well." Blossom smiled at the waitress and continued to look at the menu. Studying it intensely. Brick placed his hand on top of the menu and brought it down, "This is a date Bloss, not a pop quiz." He chuckled, and leaned his cheek into his palm. Blossom smiled sheepishly as she put the menu down. "So, why did you ask me out in the first place?" She tilted her head, but quickly lifted it back up as the waters where placed in front of them. "Are you two ready to order?" The waitress chirped happily. Brick nodded then look at me, as I reciprocated.
"I'll have the salmon, with rice, and steamed veggies." Brick handed his menu to Sophia, not letting his gaze off of me.
"And I-I'll have just the wood grilled snapper, with just steamed veggies." I looked down at the table as I handed her the menu. She smiled and nodded as she briskly walked off to tend to other tables. Brick placed his hand over mine, "The reason I asked you out, is because… i-is because I..." He tried to clear his throat, until a guitarist came up to the table. The kind looking boy played random rhythms, and tunes. Blossom clapped along happily, as the boy bathed in her attention. Brick puffed out one of his cheeks, as he sighed. 'Maybe I won't be able to tell her…' He swirled his thumbs as he enjoyed the young boy's performance. Once it was over, Blossom turned back to Brick and smiled happily. She sighed and wiggled her fingers to interlace with hers, "As you were saying?" She gazed into his eyes like a newly brought home puppy. Brick choked on air, from her adorable looks. "Ah, y-yes. The reason I asked you out is because tomo-" Brick was cut off with Sophia and one other waiter as they laid the few out in front of them. The scent filling the air. "Enjoy!" Sophia clapped her hands together before taking her leave to attend to other guests. Blossom looked at her food, and began to eat. 'Maybe I'll just ask him in the car.' As she continued to eat, every bite got better, and better.
"Wow, this is amazing!"She giggled and held her cheek in delight. Brick chuckled as he enjoyed the meal as well. Within a few minutes both of their plates had been polished. Blossom, covered her mouth as she yawned.
"Getting tired already?" Brick smirked. Blossom tried to shake her head, but she sheepishly smiled, as a faint blush crept upon her cheeks. "How about we go home after I pay." He smiled warmly at her. Blossom's chest tightened once more as she began to study his features more. He had truly grown up from when they were young. Blossom nodded and sat up straight.
Sophia dropped off the check as soon as she saw the both of them adjust. Brick swiftly payed the bill and stood. Holding his hand out toward Blossom. She gently took his large, warm hand. 'Warm hands...He must have a warm heart.' She smiled to herself as they returned to the valet, who quickly retrieved their car. Opening the door for Blossom. Brick hip bumped the valet out of the way and gently closed the door for her, before walking over to the drivers side. He buckled up and glanced at his back seat, letting out a small sigh. Blossom tilted her head, before just shaking it off. She leaned over to turn on the radio. Saltwater room by owl city, began to play. Blossom hummed along, until she heard a small crack of thunder.
"It'll be okay. A little rain won't hurt you." He laughed, as he continued to drive. Blossom gently placed her hand over his. She felt a small pulse of electricity flow throughout her body. Brick shivered, as he felt the same shocking feeling. The rain softly patted against the car, as the Utonium house hold appeared before them. "So I guess this is where we part ways." Brick looked down as he parked in the drive way.
"I suppose it is..." Blossom looked down saddened. She looked over at Brick, who wasn't letting go of her hand, that hand been placed over his. Blossom took a deep breath, "Brick." She called to him, his eyes moving to meet hers. She unbuckled her seat and jumped up, planting a gentle kiss onto his lips. Brick's eyes widened as she deepened the kiss, his arms slowly wrapped around her waist. Their lips melting, with every second that passed. Blossom hesitantly pulled away. Blinking as she realized what she had just done, her face flushed. "I-I'm sorry!" She quickly opened the car door and closed it before Brick could stop her, she rushed to her room through the window. Brick bit his lip as he unbuckled his seat and leaned into the back. Grabbing a Dark pink covered book, with an envelope sticking out of it's pages. He gripped it tightly. His breathing turning into pants, as is eyes welt with tears. 'No, I mustn't cry. She needs to know how I feel, and how I've always felt.' He wiped away the tears that had yet to leave his eyes. The rain began to pour down harder. He zipped out of the car, book in hand. Brick knocked on her window constantly, until she unlocked the circular frame.
"W-What!?" She closed her eyes, as tears fell down them. Brick's heart began to shatter at the sight of his precious Blossom withering. He sat down on the window ledge. "May I come in?" He beckoned. She gently nodded, looking towards the ground.
"Blossom, Here." He held out the now semi-soaked book. She gently took it and held it close to her, "What's this?" She questioned, but was silenced immediately as Brick pulled her into a tight hug. Blossom buried her face into his shoulder. "I love you, Brick." She sighed happily. His heart went from broken to soaring. "I-I love you too, Bloss. I have ever since the second time we were risen. I can't say much right now, but please… I hope you always enjoy this novel." He sighed and rubbed her back. A few tears escaping his eyes. "I...I have to go now. Don't ever stop being to independent pinkerbell."Brick kissed the her forehead, before hovering over to the window. Blossom, ran over to him and gave him one last kiss goodbye. "I love you, and don't you ever forget it!" Blossom smiled with teary eyes. He smiled and zipped into his car, before reluctantly backing away, and driving home. His hand balled into a fist, as his tears continued to flow. 'I hope she will understand I much I have loved her since the beginning.' He sighed, as the Utonium house slowly faded away.
Blossom tilted her head as she pulled out the envelope. Until she heard her sisters cry. She gently sat the book and envelope on her desk, before rushing over to her sister.
"Bubbles?" The asked in unison. Bubbles looked at them with a love struck expression.
"Girls! I did it! Well sort of." Bubbles hugged her childhood toy octi.
"What do you mean?" Blossom questioned.
"I sort of… kissed Boomer." Bubbles blushed and shielded her face with octi. Blossom looked at Bubbles speechless.
"Gah. Well t-that's good! I'm glad you're breaking out of your shell." Blossom smiled. Buttercup looked too angry to speak. Her body language scream she was going to kill someone.
"Um… Buttercup go take a nap." Blossom gestured Buttercup to leave. Buttercup stiffly left Bubbles' room while she mumbled some gibberish and insults towards Boomer.
Blossom smiled and congratulated her sister once more, before retiring to her own room. She locked the door, and looked around as she gently the envelope, carefully opening.
"Dear Blossom,
I figured by the time you read this I'd be long gone, or packing with my brothers. Him has threatened the city, he's threatened everyone. He even threatened you, as well as your sisters. I could never forgive myself if something were to happen to them, or especially you. Ever since I was young. I still noticed how beautiful you were. Whether you were beat up, dressed up, or just you. You were always so beautiful to me, even after all the things that had happened. You were reluctant but, still kind to me. I will always cherish the memories we created, good and bad. You will never leave my mind even for a split second. As long as I breath, I will fight to protect you. As long as my body withholds strength, I will make sure to support you. As long as I have you, I know I can survive. I hope you keep blooming into a beautiful rose, while I'm gone. I will love you until the very end.
Love,
-Brick"
Blossoms hands shook as she finished every last word. She held the letter in her hands gently, as she glanced at a hand drawn rose, that Brick had left on the letter. She held the rose up to her lips, as she kissed the rose softly. "I will love you to the very end Brick. To the very end." She sniffled and held the letter close to her once more, as her tears silently streamed down her cheeks.
-End
