Welcome to another chapter of this Buttercup Special, (I know, cheesy title, horrible word play with Pushing Up Daisies, sorry) ongoing special. Featuring Acecuppa, Brickercup, Butchercup (?), and my own personal invention, with a few suprises. I don't want to give it all away, but read on...
Buttercup: Oh god... BUTCH? ACE? AND BRICK?! Oh god... read and review...
Brick: She does not own PowerPuff Girls... at all...
Buttercup:...


'Finally happiness.'
That is... Until Blossom and Bubbles came bursting through the ceiling.


"Let her go!"
Blossom demanded. I looked down and then at him. He let me go. 'Blossom...'

"Good now hands up and kneel on the ground."

I looked at him, and mouthed, 'Sorry.'

"Let's go Buttercup."

They grabbed my arms and started to fly away, I waved to Ace. He waved back, but sat there confused. I looked up at them, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Saving you, duh!" Oh Bubbles. "Why?"

"Because you texted Blossom saying you needed help. Duh."

"No I didn't!"

I started flailing my arms and legs. I could still see Ace's face from a far. I could hear him say,

"See ya later kid."

"Can you let me go now?"

"Not yet, we're almost home."

"Well, what exactly did you save me from?"

They finally put me down. I dusted off my pants and rubbed my arms. They looked at each other; they couldn't come up with an answer.

"Of course. If you want me, I'll be in my room, if you're gonna save me again."

They looked at each other again and came in. A little while later there was a knock at my window. It was Ace, he was on his gangs shoulders.

"You forgot something."

He handed me my purse and jacket.

"Thanks." I took my things back and went to put them down.

"Wait. One more thing."

He grabbed me and kissed me ever so slightly.

"See ya later kid."

He climbed back down. I smiled and closed my window. I was lovestruck, I fumbled around trying to get into bed. Something inside me though that Ace was saying goodnight, so I whispered,

"Goodnight Acie."

I smiled and drifted off to sleep.


The next morning I dragged myself out of bed around 10 o'clock. I walked down and scratched my head.
"Good morning..."
My voice was groggy.
"Good morning Buttercup, these came for you."
Bubbles pointed to a bouquet of baby's breath with a single red rose in the center. I picked up the card, 'Buttercup, how do I compare thee to a summer's day? Let me count the ways...' No name.
"Do you know who sent these?"
"I do."
she didn't even look up.
"Well, don't make me beg."
"He said that I couldn't tell you. You figure it out. I mean how many guys have you been with recently?"
I just looked at Bubbles, rubbed my eyes and went to get dressed. I came down and headed over to the park on my skateboard.

I road over to the concession stand and bought a lemonade. I rode around looking for someone I knew. I couldn't find anyone until. *Crash* "Hey! Watch it."
I looked up to see Butch staring down at me.
"Oh, it's just you."
I don't know why, but something was different about him.
"I was just out trying to clear my head."
"Blossom told me you found out about Brick. Sorry."
"Not your fault, there's just a lot going on. With Brick and Ace and this mystery guy, I don't know what to think or say... Or do for that matter."
"Who's Ace?"
"Him."
I pointed towards the Gang Green Gang as they made their way towards us. Butch elbowed me, "Which one?"
He laughed. I turned towards him and whispered,
"Sunglasses."
He started snickering,
"Sunglasses, really?"
He nearly fell to the floor. I started laughing with him. By the time they reached us, our faces were red and we were coughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Your face!"
Butch and I started laughing again. "Butch!"
I playfully shoved him, still cracking up.
"It's true."
Ace flashed back to when we first met. How laughing made him notice I liked him. I hit Butch's arm, playfully. Ace snapped his fingers and Big Billy grabbed Butch. Butch and I stopped laughing and realized what was happening.
"Put the boy down! Now! Put him down Billy."
Big Billy didn't listen to me.
"Ace make him put Butch down! Butch blast off!"
Butch listened to me and flew out of Billy's grips. He flew back towards me. I looked at them then at Butch, he had marks on his sides. I looked back at the Gang Green Gang with flames in my eyes. I beat four of them up and Ace began pleading.
"Now Buttercup please. Can't we work something out?"
"I asked you to tell Billy to put him down."
I started beating him.
"You don't mess with Bubbles' boyfriend."
I spat on them and rode away with Butch. Ace mumbled something, "Bubbles'?"
I patted Butch's back after a while, "I'm so sorry about that. I don't know what happened."
"It's fine, who were those guys?"
he wiped off his sleeve and chuckled. "You know, Bubbles left me for Boomer."
"They're the Gang Green Gang, they just came back into town, Ace is... Wait what?"
I paused and Butch nodded. I covered my mouth.
"Why?"
"Princess is too spoiled for his blood."
"I'm so sorry."
My hands were still covering my mouth.
"Yeah."
Butch's cell started vibrating.
"I gotta go, sorry."
He kissed my cheek and rode off, I was still in shock.
"What was that?"
Ace and his gang started towards me, trying to get the dirt off of their shirts.
"I don't know. You tell me. When I ask you to do something I expect you to do it. Especially if I beg you. You owe me that much."
"Sorry if I don't want him touching you."
"Who are you to say who can and can't touch me? Butch is going through a tough time. He's my friend, like I thought you were."
I turned and put my board on the ground. Ace screamed after me as I rode away.
"If you leave, this is it."
I fought back tears and dug into my pocket. I threw the page of my diary about him when I was little. On the back it said,
'I wished for you.'
I turned my head and saw him pick it up. I rode home.

'I hope he cries.' I barged in the front door,
"Bubbles! Who sent me the flowers? Tell me now! I don't care what they asked you to do! You have to tell me!"
I turned about the kitchen. The door to the basement opened up.
"Bubbles isn't here right now."
I turned around to see him standing at the doorway.

"Did you like my flowers?"


Yeah, I know the spacing's off... I got lazy, sue me...
Buttercup: Yeah... Wait what?
Ace: Ha!
Buttercup: Grrr... What's going on here? Huh?!

Butch: Chill Buttercup... ;)
Ace: Hold up here...
Buttercup: Wait... Guys, what is this place?
