What They Really Think
Chapter 4
PPG vs Princess
I Hate The Homecoming Queen
Little short skirt
With a big attitude
She wants to be a model
Wants to be on the tube, yeah
"Look at that slut!", Blossom hisses to her sisters. Bubbles frowns and Buttercup scoffs as Princess walks into the cafeteria wearing a short yellow miniskirt and and a skintight black tank top.
It's one thing or another
She's a trouble, trouble
Watch out if you're near
She can bring you to tears
The girls watch as Princess walks up to Robin. She laughs at Robin, who'd been rejected by Mike after sucking up courage to ask him for a whole year. Robin starts crying. Bubbles growls and they look at her in shock as she stalks over to Princess and starts screaming at her.
"ROBIN IS PRETTIER, NICER, AND BETTER THAN YOU'LL EVER BE PRINCESS! SHUT YOUR MOUTH BEFORE WE MAKE YOU!" Everyone stares at Bubbles, who is quickly joined by Blossom and Buttercup, all yelling at each other. Then a teacher breaks us up and gives us each a detention.
She's got two boyfriends
And three wannabes
They follow her around
Like she's Aphrodite
Later at lunch, Princess stops at the girls' lunch table with her two boyfriends, Brick and Boomer, and her little group of wannabes.
"You Powerpuffs will be sorry you gave me detention!", she hisses angrily. They roll their eyes, and Brick and Boomer high-five. Bubbles and Blossom stiffen, and Bubbles jets out of the cafeteria. Buttercup and Blossom stand up angrily.
"You and your stupid entourage need to leave.", Blossom says, glaring at her counterpart/crush.
"That's right!", snaps Buttercup, cracking her knuckles. Princess laughs.
"Why would I do that?", she asks. Buttercup's eyes narrow and she steps towards Princess menacingly.
"Because if you don't, Blossy and I will be forced to call in Butch." Princess stiffens. Butch was a well-known outcast. He has become a loner, and didn't have that cool, rich-boy look the populars and preps liked. Buttercup had been his good friend and everyone knew she wasn't bluffing.
"You're lucky you have our brother,", Brick snarls.
"Or you'd be dead by now.", Boomer finishes. The group heads away.
Yeah, she's number one rated
But she's already jaded
And she's following the trends
In her Mercedes Benz
Everyone wants to know her name
Walking down the hall she's every guys dream
The group rejoins their clique, Princess getting a fashion magazine read to her. 'She's probably planning what to wear tomorrow, stupid trend-follower.', Blossom thought bitterly, hearing the bell ring. Princess gets up, and a bunch off guys' eyes follow her.
I hate the homecoming queen
I'm pretty damn sure that she can't stand me
She thinks she's on the cover of a magazine
I hate the homecoming queen tonight, that's right
The next day, signs project Princess's face all over school for her Homecoming Queen campaign. No one knew why she botheres anyway, she always won.
"I'm going against her.", Bubbles announces at the coffee shop where she worked, which was incidentally their hangout. It was 7:30 am and her shift was almost over.
"That's big, Bubbs.", Buttercup says. Bubbles smiles wistfully, before the bell rings and heels click on the floor. Bubbles looks away from her sisters and takes her place behind the counter. Then she realizes that it's Bitchess anyway.
Non fat, sugar free
Mochachinies, she says
"Give it to me now
You can keep the receipt"
"Non-fat, sugar free mochachinie.", she says, barely looking up from her phone. Bubbles silently makes it and hands it to her.
Drinking one after the other
She's a trouble, trouble
Tossing back her hair
And she just don't care
She orders another one, then tosses her hair and walks past the girls' table, sending Blossom a superior look. Blossom scowls and Buttercup flips her off. She gasps dramatically and stalks out of the shop. Bubbles giggles quietly.
Everyone wants to play her game
Walking down the street she's every guys dream
Buttercup and Blossom scowl as guys turn to stare at Princess. Bubbles shift ends and she flies to school, making her posters. Later, half the school is covered in baby-blue posters.
"Go Bubbs!", Blossom and Buttercup yell as their sister stands up to Princess when she confronts them.
I hate the homecoming queen
I'm pretty damn sure that she can't stand me
She thinks she's on the cover of a magazine
I hate the homecoming queen tonight, that's right
"... And the votes say Bubbles is tied with Princess.", says the principal over the announcements. Princess is outraged and turns to the only one left to vote. Butch.
"Butch, you better vote for me!", she hisses. Butch rolls his eyes and yanks out his earbuds.
"What?", he asks irritably. Princess frowns at him.
"I said, you better vote for me!", she snarls. Butch rolls his eyes again.
"Why should I? I never vote."
"Because if you don't, Buttercup will be informed of your little, ah... misadventure. And you wouldn't want that, would you?" Butch sighs. Buttercup couldn't know about what he'd done. It wasn't his fault, but she'd never believe him if he said he was under Him's control. After all, they were counterparts, and she didn't know he loved her. Stupid Him and stupid Brute, making things so complicated. He nods and she walks away, smirking...
She gets everything she asks for
But she's some how always wanting more
"What'd she want?", Buttercup asks in disgust, walking over to him.
"She was begging me to be her dirty little secret. Told her no from the start!", Butch says, slipping into his cocky attitude.
*Hoemcoming*
"And the votes are in! Princess wins by one vote. Congratulations again, Princess." Princess walks up on stage in a sparkly yellow minidress. The skirt rides up as she climbs the stairs, giving a few guys an eyeful.
Little short skirt
With a big attitude
She wants to be a model
Wants to be on the tube, yeah
"Not all of them!", a voice yells. Robin steps onto the stage, her red dress shining under the lights.
"There's one thing I have to say before my vote: I HATE THE HOMECOMING QUEEN!" She scrawls Bubbles on the piece of voting paper and tosses it into Bubbles's votes.
"Well, um, it's a tie.", the principal announces.
"Butch!", Buttercup says. "Do something!" Butch looks her in the eye.
"Sorry, Butters, I already voted.", he says, before hurriedly looking down.
"Butch, what did you do?", she asks lowly, before standing up.
"Look! Everyone here knows Princess is an evil, lying, conniving, bitch! So why vote for her? WHY? MY SISTER DESERVES THIS CHANCE AND YOU KNOW IT!" A teacher pulls her out of the gym and kicks her out, with the promise of suspension.
It's one thing or another
She's trouble, trouble
Watch out if you're near
She can bring you to tears...
A disbelieving tear runs down Bubbles's cheek. She'd worked so hard... And Princess still won... Or she would. She always had a back-up nerd to vote for her, usually after a chaste kiss on the cheek. She was done for.
" I hate the homecoming queen
I'm pretty damn sure that she can't stand me
She thinks she's on the cover of a magazine
I hate the homecoming queen"
Hearing this, Blossom starts a verso of song. The students who voted for Bubbles start to sing in protest.
" I hate the homecoming queen
I'm pretty damn sure that she can't stand me
She thinks she's on the cover of a magazine
I hate the homecoming queen tonight, that's right Yeah yeah"
Then an unlikely person steps out of the crowd, a person with brown hair and blue eyes.
"Excuse me.", the girl says, getting onstage. "I haven't given you my vote either. I vote for my sister, Bubbles Utonium. So she wins." The girl takes off, leaving a purple streak behind her...
*Epilouge*
Bubbles won that night, and she never forgot it. She often started out her kids' bedtime stories with a homecoming queen, but unlike the real event, she kept it PG. She had gotten together with a reformed Ace from a now well-thought-of Gangrene Gang.
Butch had gotten together with Buttercup after telling her the truth behind the vote.
And Blossom had happily married a lawyer in town, with the name of Ed Plum...
