Chapter 6: Detention
Brick, Boomer and Butch sit at their usual table at lunch period; they were in the midst of a serious conversation. Well ….two of them anyway, Boomer was preoccupied with the intricate and innovative design of the spork "art truly does come in many forms".
Brick grins at him "having fun?" Boomer nods to him and brick decides not to even bother with him. Brick moves around globs of mashed potatoes on his tray "so you think Jack got his hands on some Chemical X?"
Butch nods while munching on his burger "you should have seen him, he went total ape shit, it was totally random. I almost had to kick his ass".
"Where is he now?" Brick says "I usually have woodshop with him, he didn't show up".
"Don't know" Butch says "he kind of bailed after his whole freak show moment".
Boomer's attention is drawn from his precious spork and he looks up at Buttercup who passes by with his tray. He doesn't smile or even react in a surprised way, with the same plain expression he calls out to her "HEY BUTTERCUP". His other two brother look at him taken back by his outburst, he ignores them and continues "BUTTERCUP, I HAVE A PACKAGE TO GIVE YOU LATER, IF I DON'T SEE YOU AFTER SCHOOL THEN I'LL JUST COME BY YOUR HOUSE LATER AND SLIP MY PACKAGE THROUGH YOUR BACKDOOR", within seconds an apple bounces off his head and cringes from the sudden pain.
Everyone in the cafeteria laughs hysterically; Buttercup is completely red in the face "ugh, SHUT THE FUCK UP STUPID".
Butch laughs uncontrollably while watching Boomer pout "that's fucking hilarious". He looks over at Blossom who is sitting at the table Buttercup returns to, frowning at the scene "HEY BLOSSOM, HOW ABOUT I GIVE YOU A PEARL NECKLACE FOR VALENTINES DAY?"
Everyone laughs even louder and Blossom gets agitated "eww, what's wrong with you Butch? That's gross".
Brick chuckles "that's not what she said last night, aye Butch?" the two chuckles like crazy. Blossom has now had enough of their taunting; she takes her sandwich and launches it right at Butch.
The sandwich slaps butch right in the face, for a while time stands still and everyone stops laughing. Blossom is the only who has ever challenged one of the toughest guys in school. Blossom glares at him "take that jerk", she then realizes her mistake and her smug smile disappears. Butch takes the sandwich off his face and grins at her wicked and blossom's eyes widen "butch….no…wait, I take it back".
Brick smirks at her "the damage is done blossom", he and butch pick up some food from their trays "now deal with the consequences".
Butch laughs like a maniac "FOOD FIGHT", and with that all hell breaks loose as everyone starts throwing food at one another. Food was flying everywhere, in all directions as every student in the room engages in the food battle. Butch picks up a slice of chocolate cake and flings it at blossom; it hits her chest causing her to cry out in shock.
"MY SHIRT" Blossom fumes at him and fly's over with a container of macaroni salad and dumps it on his head. He grabs her hands and slips on some spaghetti, falling backwards; he accidently pulls her with him. She accidently slams her face against his and the two lock lips for a moment before separating, she looks at him blushing furiously "y…you did that on purpose".
"And you're still on top of me" Butch says smirking "you want me that badly?"
"Ugh, just SHUT UP" Blossom picks up a random open carton of milk and sits up so that she is straddling his hips "get over yourself" she pour the milk on his head.
"BLOSSOM UTONIUM".
Blossom looks up and stares at the now shocked principal standing in front of her, she was so preoccupied with Butch she didn't even notice that not only did the principal walk in to break up the food fight. Her eyes widen as the principal sees her straddle Butch with an empty container of milk in her hand "oh…Principal Rayman, w…when did you get here?" he stares at her and blinks; she immediately floats off of Butch "this isn't what it looks like".
"Really?" the principal says "so you're not on top of Mr. Jojo and dumping milk on him".
Blossom grins at him nervously "well….ok it is what it looks like, but he started first".
"And that is why you have to be the responsible one to stop it" the Principal says "you are the student body president, it's important for you to be an example for the other students".
"But…but sir I…." Blossom stutters nervously.
"No buts' blossom" the principal says "you know the rules; I'll have to give you one days detention".
"Yeah blossom" Butch says getting up from the floor and dusting himself off "being the president doesn't make you above the rules", he chuckles as she glares at him.
"You too butch" The principal says "this entire fight was your doing in the first place. You get 3 days detention".
"Awwww bullshit" Butch curses and blossom smirks.
"Make that 4 days for swearing" the principal says walking away from them "come on you two, March".
Blossom sighs and Butch frowns a bit as they follow him to detention hall, Bubbles comes into the cafeteria, having been in the bathroom all this time trying to doll herself up for Brick to notice her. She then notices the mess in the room and everyone, including Brick and Boomer, filing out the door "what did I miss?"
After School
Blossom sits in her chair in the detention hall and sighs "why is it that every time I run into you or your brothers, my day turns to shit?"
Butch was sitting in the back of the room smiling "whoa…..someone is being a bad girl today, never figured you for the type who swears".
"Shut up" Blossom says miserable "it's your entire fault we're here in the first place".
"Actually" Butch says getting up from his seat "you were the one that attacked me first".
"You were the one who provoked me" Blossom retaliates.
Butch sits right next to her, smiling "but you are still the one who attacked me first".
"Throwing a tuna sandwich at you is not an attack" Blossom suddenly gets up, grabs Butch and slams him on his back on the table "this is an attack, now get away from me". She moves to another seat as butch gets up from the table "you three have been thorns in my side since you started going to school here".
"Riddle me this" Butch says sitting on the desk she had moved away from "what exactly have we done to you since we came here?"
"You're kidding right?" Blossom says "you're a bully, who thinks he's god's gift to women, Brick is a drug dealer and boomer video tapes girls taking a dump in the ladies room".
Butch blinks at her a bit shocked "Bricks a drug dealer?" he then smirks "cool, I wonder if I can score some?"
"Oh please Butch" Blossom glares at him "don't pretend that you and boomer don't know".
"Chick if I knew, I would have gotten me some a long time ago" Butch says glaring back.
"Oh whatever" Blossom says looking away from him at the window; they sit there for a while in silence, not really wanting to talk to each other. She then looks back at him, no longer glaring at him, but staring at him with a curious look "you really didn't know he was selling drugs?"
"Nope" Butch says, cleaning the dirt from his finger nails "I told you, I would have been in on that shit from the ground up".
"Why would he hide that from you?" Blossom inquires "I thought you guys were together on everything".
"Well yeah" Butch says "but not all the time, we do have different interests, just like you and the girls". He slides off the desk quietly and strolls over to her "we're individuals after all". He sits down next to her again and touches the ends of her hair "now about your attraction to bad boys"; he gives the end of her hair a kiss.
Blossoms eyes widen and she blushes, backing away from him" W…what are you doing?"
Butch smiles and puts his hand on her chin, drawing her face to him "giving you what you want". He leans in and plants a soft kiss on her own lips.
Blossom's eyes widened as she finds herself actually liking it, she then panics and pushes him away from her "don't touch me Butch".
Butch grins "you know, it's ok to like kissing, especially if it's from me".
Blossoms face turns red and she turns from him "I would never associate myself with the likes of you".
Butch frowns at her and instantly loses interest "right, sorry your highness, should have known a princess like you would be too good for a commoner like me".
"As long as you understand your place" Blossom says smirking, the two glare at each other angrily and Butch gets up.
"Fuck you bitch" Butch angrily walks back to his seat.
"And you never will" Blossom says, the two sit there separately, in silence for the rest of their punishment.
Later that night
"How did I end up here?" Bubbles says, after blossom came home from her punishment, the girls decided to do some patrolling in the city. For some reason bubbles ended up at the Rowdyruff house, standing at the side of it. She looks up and sees the windows where the bedrooms are and blushes "no way, I'm so not doing it, only creepy stalkers would do something like that". She floats up and fly's a little away from the house but then stops "although, I have been just a little curious about what he looks like with his shirt off". She then shakes her head vigorously "what am I thinking? That's a total invasion of privacy". She then floats back to the floor and dashes towards the bedroom windows "if the tables were turned, I bet he would do this in a heart beat, I mean butch saw my boobs for crying out loud, they owe me a peak". She continues to rationalize her actions as she floats up to the window, she peaks in and sees her target "bingo". Brick is lying on his back in bed reading a porno magazine; he lifts his pajamas top and sticks his hand in his pants. Bubbles eyes widen "oh my gosh, is he really going to…..no I sooo should not be watching this". He doesn't do what she thought he was going to do and instead scratches his inner thigh, "oh, false alarm, too bad though". She giggles and continues to watch him "he's so hot".
"Bubbles?"
The blond looks down and sees Boomer on the ground looking up at her curiously "uh oh".
Boomer tilts his head "what are you doing?"
"Uh nothing" Bubbles says nervously and floats down to him "I was just…uh…I ".
Boomer grins wickedly at her "are you here for brick again?"
In a panic bubbles ambushes him onto the floor on his back and covers his mouth with her hand "shush, no one can know I'm here boomer". The other blond struggles against her, Bubbles then looks at him sternly "ok look, I'll give you buttercups phone number if you will pretend you never saw me here". Boomer blinks at her and blushes, bubbles smirks at him and let's go of his mouth "yes I know your crushing on buttercup, anyone who even pays attention to you can tell that". She floats and stands him upright "so how about you be a good boy and let's keep this to ourselves".
As she floats away, boomer frowns at her "what about the number?"
"Added security" bubbles smiles at him "to make sure you don't talk".
"Smart" Boomer says blinking at her as she floats away, flying home. He stands there for a while wondering if she really will give him Buttercups number, he then goes inside the house.
Butch sees Boomer walk in through the door and looks at him "hey, where have you been?"
Boomer looks at him and blinks "outside talking to bubbles".
Butch quirks an eyebrow "Bubbles? What was she doing here?"
Boomer stops in his tracks "uh oh, I'm not supposed to tell anyone she was peeping on Brick". He then grins at him deciding to keep his promise in the best way he can "Bubbles was not floating by Bricks bedroom window scoping his bode. She does not have a crush on him". He walks away proud of himself that he did not reveal her secret, "all is safe".
