Narrator: The Next Day.

The girls had a day off school so Blossom took full advantage of it by having a duvet day and like her other duvet days she probably won't wake up till 12 or even as late as 5 in the afternoon. So Buttercup and Bubbles saw this as perfect opportunity to sneak away to the Wilkins to report back anything else they found out.

Bubbles POV

Buttercup knocked on the Wilkins door which was opened by Jen who saw us and giggled before letting us in. We sat in a circle in their living room some on the floor and some on the chairs. Buttercup was the first to speak.

"So girls anyone wants to start." Buttercup asked.

"I will." Laurie said as she was bursting "Well I was walking last night to go collect our take away and I saw Brick and his brothers near town just floating in the air talking before Brick flew off separately in the other direction to his brothers." Laurie said with a smile on her face.

"Well did you hear what they said?" Buttercup asked impatiently.

"Yep they seemed to be arguing and teasing each other so I snuck behind a tree."

Flashback to that night (Laurie's POV)

I was stood behind a tree listening and watching them luckily it was quite dark so I was easily hidden, except for my neon bracelets which now seem like a bad idea in wearing.

Anyway I could see Butch and Boomer snickering and Bricks look of disdain.

"Aww look little Bricky is growing up so fast." Butch teased.

"Yeah and he doesn't want us around so he can spend some alone time with his girlfriend." Boomer laughed.

"SHUT UP! What I do on my own is my business and not your concern, all you need to know is that I'm fine and I'm not in any danger, and whatever I'm doing isn't for you to know, I don't have to tell you where I'm going whether I'm visiting her or not."

"Oooh isn't he sweet Boomer he actually cares, and by the way Bricky it doesn't matter what you're doing. We're your brothers it's our job to care and seeing as you don't tell us anything we can only assume whether it's our business or not." Butch replied smugly.

"Fine I'll explain everything when I get back okay? But for now leave me alone and find something for dinner I'll be back later."

"Alright but Brick just remember don't let the love bugs bite." Butch said as Brick flew off red faced and Butch and Boomer laughing as they flew off towards town.

End of Flashback

Bubbles POV

"That's all I know, I don't know where Brick went after that but I know his brothers went to the Chinese restaurant near the subway." Laurie said.

"You might not know where Brick went but I do and that's why I called this meeting because I happen to know that Brick came to our house last night during dinner and was sitting with Blossom in her room giggling and talking." Buttercup beamed.

"So that's why she was so eager to finish dinner." I thought out loud.

"Well then there's something they aren't telling us and I'm sick of the lieing. But seeing as Bricks brothers must know why don't we just ask them?" Dee suggested.

"Yeah and especially after Brick said he'd tell them everything and surely he's told them by now." Jen replied.

"Exactly what I was thinking, now who wants to do it?" Buttercup asked.

No one raised their hand. I wouldn't mind doing it as long as I had to talk to Boomer and not Butch. Plus I don't think Buttercup would risk anyone of us talking to Butch as most of Butch's conversations end with hospital appointments and a slap on the backside. But Boomer is quite friendly and only causes destruction when his brothers pressure him into it and lately Boomer and I have been getting on well of course if he finds out what's going on I could lose his trust and I'm not sure if I want to risk it.

"Well then I guess me and Bubbles will do it, come on Bubbles lets go see if they're around." Buttercup said and with that we flew around town looking for Butch and Boomer.

After searching for about half an hour we saw them at the park but unfortunately they were with Brick too which meant we couldn't talk to them until Brick left, no doubt to see Blossom again.

"I got an idea we'll tempt 'em away from B rick and he'll probably leave to visit Blossom anyway, since he's seen we're not there, and he might stay there longer giving us more time to get information."

I followed and soon met the RRB's stares of confusion as we landed in front of them but I shyly and discretely smiled and waved at Boomer who, to my relief, smiled back.

"What do you want Butternut we're kinda busy." Butch snapped.

"1) Its ButterCUP and 2) what could you possibly be busy doing?" She snapped back.

"Nothing now scram." He replied harshly as he started to approach Buttercup who wasn't fazed by this at all. Then again neither were the rest of us we're all pretty much used to their arguing by now.

I was obviously too busy watching them argue that I didn't notice someone behind me.

"Hey." I quickly turned only to calm down when I saw it was only Boomer, I relaxed and smiled.

"Hi." I replied.

"So… umm do you want to go to the new ice cream place that opened up down town?" He asked.

I could tell he was uneasy but he hid it well.

"Umm yeah, sure." Well that was easy "But I don't have any money with me." I said avoiding eye contact I could never say things like that to people's faces in case it looked like I was asking for money.

"Don't worry I have enough for the both of us, I'll pay." He offered with a smile.

"Okay and I promise I'll pay you back tomorrow at school or something." I said now looking straight at him.

"Don't worry about it, you don't have to." He said.

"No, please otherwise I'd feel like I was taking it from you." I insisted.

Oops. I didn't mean to phrase it like that now it sounds like I don't trust them which I don't but Boomers okay and I don't remember the last time they took something I didn't want to make it sound like he was a criminal.

"Wait I didn't mean it like…" I was interrupted.

"No its okay. I know what you mean. You can just pay me back whenever I really don't mind." He replied.

We made our way to the ice cream shop, we decided to walk as it was quite close and it was a very nice day today, so why waste it.

********With Buttercup************

Buttercups POV

"Well if you're so tough why don't you fight me?" I shouted trying my best to tempt Butch into a fight.

While arguing with Butch I saw Boomer and Bubbles start to stray away, I must admit I'm kinda impressed at how quick that took.

"I would but I have a strict rule about fighting babies." He replied I didn't really want to fight but it was the only time me and Butch really spoke to each other in a nicer manner than usual.

You see it's the same all the time me an Butch act horrid to each other we fight, calm down and have a few minutes of civil conversation before going off and then the same cycle again the next day.

After a few minutes of trash talking each other I realised I really wasn't in the mood to fight. Today was hotter than previous days and I had other things on my mind like my sisters secret love life that she denies having. I was preoccupied and slowly floated to the floor and stared at Butch while he looked back at me with a confused face.

"Can we talk? I'm really not in the mood for a fight today and I really need to speak to you about something." I said the nicest as I could but due to my strong voice it still came out a little harsh.

"Why we always fight we've never really talked before why start now?" He asked as he made his way to the ground staring straight back at me as I approached.

"Exactly, we never talk only fight. I'm not in the mood for it today and I really don't want to fight just to talk to you, there was a reason I came here but I couldn't say it in front of your brothers. Look I just need some answers." Id decided to take the direct approach Butch isn't the smartest person to take a hint.

"Okay like what?" He asked sitting down near a tree.

I followed and sat with him "Like what's going on between Brick and Blossom?" I saw butch's eyes widen slightly therefore I knew he had some idea to what I was talking about.

I err…dunno. what do you mean?" he said trying to cover up but failing badly.

"Don't play dumb, I know you know what's going on, now why won't you tell me?" I asked leaning forward in hope of intimidating him.

"Look I only know as much you probably do, but I'm not allowed to say anything. I promised Brick." Butch replied.

"Ugh, well fine what can you tell me?" I asked.

******************With Boomer and Bubbles*************

Bubbles POV

We finally reach the ice cream shop. It had been a nice walk we hadn't spoken much but I guess we were just so absorbed in the nice surroundings. It wasn't everyday this happened as Townsville tends to have nice scenery blocked by whatever monster or villain is attacking the city.

We walked in the door and looks at one of the huge menu boards above the counter.

"So anything you like?" he asked still staring at the counter.

"Hmmm I think I'll have the vanilla cone with butterscotch topping how about you?" I asked.

"I think I'll have the bubble gum with almond sprinkles and a flake." He replied before leaning against the counter.

The old lady at the counter approached us and took our order before pointing at a small table in the corner between the window and the wall.

It was a nice place the main colours were pink, blue and white with some thin green stripes on the counter.

We sat at our table and waited for our order until Boomer turned fully towards me and spoke.

"So why exactly did you and your sister stop by?" He asked curiously.

"Well it was kinda her idea I just follow she umm-"but again I couldn't finish our order arrived and in that minute I was having an inner fight about whether or not to tell Boomer the truth.

"Here you are, you two enjoy okay and if you need anything just ask." The old lady said before she left.

"You were saying…" He trailed off eating his ice cream.

I decided not to say anything about the plan and just make something up. I mean it's not like Buttercup will find out and I'll tell her I didn't get anything.

"Well she just though that she'd go mess with Butch as she can't stand to see people happier and more relaxed than her. Especially when it's Butch and she assumes everyone's up to something anyway." I said nervously.

I don't know if he bought it and if he didn't he didn't mention anything.

We spent the rest of the time talking and enjoying time away from our siblings.

*****************In Blossom's room****************

Brick's POV

Seeing as Buttercup and Butch looked like they were about to fight and slowly started to trail away and Bubbles and Boomer had already left, so I decided to see where Blossom was as she wasn't with her sisters. But then I realised it's a day off and Blossom is lazy.

I quickly made my way to her window and as I guessed she was still asleep she was tucked up in her covers with only the top of her head showing. So I quietly lifted her window, she keeps it open just in case I visit or if I'm hiding from Mojo then I can quickly sneak in her room as Mojo wont dare go near their house after the babysitting incident.

Anyway I opened the window and closed it quietly and floated towards the bed. I was thinking about scaring her but then I remembered the last time I tried that and I don't feel like getting another accidental black eye. Plus she looked pretty and peaceful when she slept and the fact she smiles in her sleep is quite cute. So instead I gently shook her and she started to stir.

"Ugh…Yawn…Oh hi Brick. What's the time?" she asked.

I looked at the clock and said "its 11:30 only half an hour earlier than the time you usually wake up and don't worry your sisters are out with my brothers which is why I'm here." I said lying down next to her as she cuddled into me.

"Why are they out with your brothers I mean bubbles isn't so surprising but what's Buttercup doing?" She asked as she slowly looked up at me.

"Dunno all I know is that Boomer and Bubbles went to get ice cream and Buttercup and Butch was in an argument which she started as she flew down to us while we were sitting in the park near Mojo's." I replied.

I never realised how tiny she was until now, I also found it amusing that she was more comfortable on her front, which is weird as many girls find it uncomfortable, whereas I prefer to sleep on my back. Then again Blossom sleeps in a bra, which I only know because Blossom is the queen of TMI she's the type that tells you anything like her time of the month and details about how great her pee was, but that's the price you pay as the boyfriend that listens.

"Wow Well I'm sorry if they disrupted your day, I haven't really seen them or had a proper conversation since the whole thing at school and the sleepover." She said shifting to get more comfortable.

I remember the first time she did this and it felt weird and I tried moving her but she told me I was being stupid and to get over it and now I have its quite comfy having someone lean against you. But I'd never admit it.

"Nah it's okay I got to see you which even though it's been five minutes and we have yet to do anything but it's better than sitting on the floor with my brothers." I was becoming tired as well and soon both Blossom and I fell asleep.
