I wish you a Merry Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Well the "happy New Year" thing will be a little later but these are the lines of the song. Don't sue me, I didn't write it!
This story is dedicated to my favourite cousins Mara and Irina (yrynna).
Thank you very much CamillaMB and BC chan for reviewing the last chapter!
I'm terribly sorry if I misspelled anything!

On the right side
Chapter 4: Consequences
HIM stood up fuming. If there was something that he really hated, that was being betrayed. He was the most evil villain of all and exactly for that he demanded respect. He looked at the magical mirror again to convince himself that he hadn't been seeing things: the boys were smiling and talking civilly to the girls instead of fighting them.
"They are going to pay for this! I swear Rowdy Ruff Boys that you'll be sorry for even thinking you could trick me!" he shouted angrily in his evil voice.
HIM turned his eyes to the circular crystal that was now black. He smiled evilly and looked at the boys in the mirror.
"It's not like I wasn't going to do it anyway..." he said in his female voice. "Time's up!"
Butch looked from Buttercup's face to their hands and then back to her eyes.
"That doesn't mean I'm gonna' go to tea parties or some other crap like that!" he said horrified of the thought.
Buttercup started to laugh so hard that she didn't notice that now there were only a few inches separating her from the raven-haired boy.
"If that was something you had to do to be on the good side I would've became a villain long ago!" she said still laughing.
The Green Ruff looked away blushing. He figured out that he had said something ridiculous. "Man someone could accuse me of stealing Boomers lines!" the thought feeling very stupid.
He turned his eyes to the girl in front of him who was still laughing. Some time ago, well a few minutes to be exact, he would've kicked her for laughing at him, but he realized that he really liked to hear her laughing.
He smiled amazed at how a short-tempered person like her could be so pretty when she was laughing... and not only in those times. She was always pretty. He liked the way her emerald eyes shined every time she was angry. Her raven hair was a little ruffed from their fight. He couldn't help but go "wha" at the way she always faced him in battle. She was a great fighter and she was so cute.
"I think I'm going crazy" he thought, still holding her hand. He didn't want to let go. He felt like if he did everything will prove to be a dream.
Buttercup stopped laughing and looked at their hands. "Why the hell are we still holding hands?" she asked herself, but before she could move in any way a voice in her head screamed "Don't you dare do it!".
"Huh? Why not?" she asked the vice.
"Because it feels so bloody good!" her conscience said in an 'isn't-it-obvious' tone.
"No it doesn't!" she snapped.
"Liar!"
"O.K., O.K.! It does feel good! What would you want me to do?" she said irritated furious that she was loosing the mental battle. "God! I'm arguing with my mind!" she thought exasperated.
"It's the first sign of insanity" her conscience said with a sigh.
"Oh, shut the Hell up!" she yelled in her head getting sick of that mental conversation.
She looked up and startled when she saw the distance between her and her counterpart. If any of them moved their head a little forward their lips would touch.
They stared in each other's eyes for what seemed an eternity. Butch was feeling something warm inside. His heart was racing. He had felt like that only once before: last night when he was in her dream... when they were so close...
Boomer felt like he was in Heaven. He didn't want to ever let go of her. But like they say you can't get everything you want.
She pulled back but she kept her hands on his solders. She had no idea what to say. She looked down.
He was staring at her. "Man she's so pretty!" he thought. The Blue Ruff was studying her. He was wondering why he never noticed how beautiful her golden hair was. Her sky blue eyes were always so kind and her body looked so fragile... like a little porcelain doll. "But she really hits hard" he thought remembering their fights. "Ouch!" he thought smiling at himself.
Then something came to his mind: "Man! Those boys are mean!" she had said that (A\N: I'm not sure if this is the exact line but it's something like this). He couldn't remember when but he was sure that she said it. "Does she still think that?" he thought feeling like he could cry if she said yes.
"Bubbles?" he began in a weak voice.
She looked up at him gazing in his eyes. "Yes?" she said in a gentle tone.
"Do... do you... think that... I'm... evil?" he asked almost scared of the answer.
"Why would I think that?" she said a little confused of his question.
"Well... I remember you saying that we... I mean my brothers and I were really mean and... well... I thought..." he stopped. He didn't know what to say. He looked away from her.
She sighed. She placed her hand under his chin and turned him so that he was facing her. "Boomer... do you feel evil?" she asked her kind eyes reflecting the sun light.
He stared in her blue orbs not sure why she would want to know that, but he decided to answer anyway. "Honestly... no." He said in a voice that was almost a whisper.
"See. If even you don't feel evil, you don't think you're evil why would I think that?" she said smiling at him.
"But I did feel evil... many times" he said more to himself that to her.
"But you don't anymore." she said moving a little closer to him.
"No... not since last night" he whispered.
Bubbles felt a wave of curiosity and excitement. "Could it be..." she thought hopefully.
"What happened last night?" she asked trying hard to act normal.
He looked in her eyes like he was trying to see something there, that was invisible to others. "You... you had a dream last night... 'bout us fighting... in a crystal forest..." he said.
She nodded "Yes. Yes I had". "I knew it! I knew it was more than just a dream!" she thought.
"Well it was real... in a way." he continued. "You see, HIM sent us in your dreams and… well… you know what happened next" he said getting closer to her body.
"And since then you felt different?" she asked not really expecting an answer.
"Yes. Since... since we..." he felt a little uncomfortable whit the word.
"Kissed?" Bubbles completed his sentence blushing.
Boomer nodded not taking his gaze from her. They were so close...
Blossom and Brick were staring at each other. None of them knew what to say next.
The Pink Puff was getting very pissed off with that silence. "Oh this feels so stupid!" she thought. "If someone doesn't start a conversation fast I'll go mental." She waited a few minutes for him to do something but when he didn't "It might as well be me" she quietly sighted.
"So..." she began not really sure of what she could say "...what made you change your mind, you know about the good side?" she asked in an uncharacteristic shy voice.
"You" he simply answered. He considered the question quite stupid.
"Me?" she said confused. "You mean that I convinced you in a few minutes to come see my side? You never felt at least curious about the good side, before?" she asked in disbelief.
"Well now that you said it I did feel weird 'bout being on HIMs side... from time to time..." he said without taking his eyes off hers.
"When... when did you exactly feel that?" she asked.
"I don't really remember... sometimes when HIM explained his newest plan to destroy you, but I got them off my head very fast." He answered.
"Why?" she said getting closer to him.
"Man, you really have a lot of questions!" he said and laughed when he saw her turning her eyes away.
This gave him the opportunity to study her without her noticing. He looked at the way her hair danced in the wind. Her pink, wise eyes were focused on one spot. Her cheeks were the same colour as her eyes and her thin body made her look so beautiful.
"I have to stop thinking" he thought smirking.
He thought of her question. The answer he had was so stupid that he wondered if it was really an answer or just a silly comment.
"I'm not sure" he began in a small voice. She looked up at him. "Every time I thought about it HIM 'reminded' me that you were our mortal enemies, that we hated you and that we had to destroy you" he said as fast as he could hopping that she wouldn't think he was stupid.
"And this time you didn't listen to HIM..." she said more to herself than to him.
He nodded relived that she didn't think it was ridiculous. "This time you were here and you didn't let my thoughts go away." he said smiling.
He turned his eyes from her. "Thanks." he whispered.
She smiled at the red-headed boy. "How can he be so cute?" she thought blushing.
She flew towards him so their eyes met again. She took his hands in hers smiling her warm sweet smile.
Brick looked at her, almost paralysed. His cheeks had the same colour as his eyes. "This girl is too beautiful for her own good." he thought while getting closer and closer to her.
In another part of the town HIM was scandalized at what he was seeing.
"OH NO YOU LITTLE BRATS! THIS STORY DOESN'T HAVE A HAPPY ENDING!" HIM yelled in his evil voice and disappeared in a pink cloud.
Back in town things aren't going to be so quiet anymore...
Suddenly everything was surrounded by a red light.
Cut to Buttercup and Butch
The brunettes looked at the deep red shy.
"What the-" they said at the same time.
Cut to Bubbles and Boomer
The blue-eyed children started at the sight.
"Oh my God!" they whispered.
Cut to Blossom and Brick
The leaders didn't need to think more that a moment.
"HIM" they hissed.
"I warned you, you can't say I didn't, but some people just won't listen!" HIM's evil voice filled their ears.
Cut to Buttercup and Butch
"What the hell does he want?" the green eyed girl said getting angry.
"No idea" Butch said tightening his grip on her hand and pulling her closer so he could block any attack that could hit her. "But I'm sure he isn't here just to say 'hi'".
Cut to Bubbles and Boomer
"Boomer what's happening?" the Blue Puff asked panic rising in her voice.
"Don't worry Bubbles." The blue eyed boy said warping his arm around the girl's waist. "I won't let him touch you."
Cut to Blossom and Brick
"Why is he here?" the red-headed girl asked. "Does he know about...?"
"Yeah I think he does." Brick said pushing her behind him so she won't get hurt. "This 'ain't gona' be pretty."
"Oh how noble of you boys... trying to protect the girls..." HIM said in his feminine voice. "WHEN YOUR MISSION WAS TO DESTROY THEM!" he yelled. "Oh well, this had to happen... sooner or later, but I was hoping that you would've completed the mission you were created for, first." HIM sighted.
"What are you talking about?" the Red Ruff shouted getting really angry.
"Oh I'm talking about something I warned you about, but you didn't want to hear." the devil said a little grin appearing on his face. "THE CONSEQUENCES OF BETRAYAL!" he screamed furiously, in his evil voice.
HIM got out the circular crystal which began to glow with a weird light. It seemed to make things darker instead of lighting them up.
Suddenly the boys felt a great pain in the chest that spread quickly into their whole bodies. They fell into the girls' arms screaming in agony.
Cut to Buttercup and Butch
"Butch! What's happening?" Buttercup said trying to calm him down.
Cut to Bubbles and Boomer
"Boomer! What's wrong?" she said trying to hold back tears.
Cut to Blossom and Brick
"Brick!" Blossom gasped. She looked up to where HIM was. "What did you do to him?" she yelled at him.
"Oh, don't worry my dear Blossom, he isn't alone in his pain" HIM said in his feminine voice. "His brothers are in the same state because they're all a bunch of traitors." he smirked. "We've never been close but I'm sure that you know I won't let anyone be stronger that me. But I like to make others take care of my business. So I made a compromise. You see that little potion I gave the boys wasn't something that would protect them from your cooties. I just convinced them it would do that and because they believed it happened exactly like I said." he smirked.
"Then what did it really do?" the Pink Puff asked holding her counterpart who was still screaming.
"It gave them power, but only for a short time. After that time was up, the power went away slowly taking their vital energy with it. For this little problem I created this" he pointed at the crystal in his hand "to keep the power there longer. And it worked. But now that the spell wore off the crystal needs energy to keep existing. And it takes their energy."
"You monster!" Blossom shouted feeling tears forming in her eyes.
In the same moment all boys stopped screaming and fainted.
"Oh look. They couldn't keep it up with the pain." HIM said a big evil smile creeping on his face. "If they're lucky they'll stay like this and die in their sleep and they won't feel a thing." he said in his feminine voice.
"NO!" all three girls yelled feeling like they could do anything just to know that the Ruffs were going to be O.K.
"I hope you'll enjoy these hours because they are the last of the of the Rowdy Ruff Boys' lives!" HIM laughed and disappeared in a pink cloud.
Voila! End of chapter
