Song: Feeling Good by Michael Buble

Feeling Good

After her talk with Bubbles, Buttercup was happier for some odd reason. She didn't even explode when Blossom told her and Bubbles that Brick snuck inside their house. She just didn't know why she was so happy but whatever it was, it carried on to the next day.

"You seem to be in a good mood, BC. Care to share," Blossom asked as the three where flying to school.

"Yeah," Bubbles chimed in.

Buttercup looked at her sisters and then at the birds flying by. "The birds flying high in the sky knows how I feel." She pointed towards the bright sun, as it beamed down on them, her smile never leaving her face. "The sun shinning so bright knows how I feel."

"Well, that didn't help but whatever put you in a good mood, I'm feeling it, too." Bubbles giggled as Blossom only smiled at her happy sisters.

Buttercup was in such a great mood that when Blossom went to wake her up, Buttercup was already dress and ready to go. Not having to wait for her, the three arrived to school twenty, thirty minutes early compared to their five, ten minutes. Waving bye, Buttercup took of inside the school building.

Buttercup smiled and waved as she walked down the hallway, her lime green eyes scanning, looking for a certain someone. She stopped when she heard someone calling her name from behind. Turning around, Buttercup's smile dropped.

It was only Mitch.

"Nice to see you, too, BC. Didn't know seeing me was such a downer." Mitch stuffed his hands in his pockets as he leaned on a locker.

"No, it's not your fault. I just thought you were someone else." Buttercup looked around where they stood but she didn't find who she was looking for before meeting eyes with Mitch.

"Who did you think I was?" Mitch looked at her with curiosities, some of his hair falling in front of his face. Buttercup looked away and looked behind her.

She sighed as she turned back to face him, adjusting her bag on her shoulders. "No one, is this going to take long? I really have to be somewhere."

"I was just making sure that you were still up for our movie marathon tonight." Buttercup gave him a confused look. "You know the same marathon that we have been doing for five years on the second night of school?"

Buttercup mumbled to herself. She had forgotten all about that. A first but what was it that made her forget. "Shit, Mitch, I forgot all about that. I don't think I can make it. Can we reschedule or something?"

"Sure, Buttercup. We'll reschedule or something." Mitch looked down and moved his foot on the floor a little, which Buttercup took no notice.

Smiling, Buttercup gave Mitch a quick pat on his shoulders while saying thanks. Turning around, she continued on her way, waving bye to Mitch and telling him she'll see him in math.

Finally, Buttercup found who she was looking for. Why she was looking for Butch, of all people, she wasn't sure but she did notice on how happier she felt when she saw him. He was just standing there, putting his textbooks away that he didn't need until later. He didn't see her standing there and staring at him. As she got closer, she stopped behind the door of his locker and waited.

Butch zipped his bag and threw it over his shoulders before closing his locker, wondering if he was going to see Buttercup at all today. As he closed his locker, Butch jumped. Buttercup was leaning on the lockers next to him.

"Don't kill me!" He covered his face with both of his hands. Wincing as he touched a bruise that would be officially gone, until later today. When nothing happened, he peeked and saw Buttercup standing with a hand on her hip, tapping away from his stupidity.

"You done?"

"Maybe," Butch crossed his arms and leaned on the locker. "What do you want, Butterbutt?"

"I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that. I came to apologize for my behavior yesterday."

Butch raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Why?"

Buttercup just shrugged as she looked away. "It's a new day and for some reason I feel good." She looked up to meet him in the eye, her face feeling warmer for some reason. "So, I'm sorry. Friends?"

She stuck out a hand for him to shake.

...***...

"So, what put you in a good mood today?" Butch looked over to Buttercup.

With school done for the day, the two decided to try out their newfound friendship and what better way to put it to the test, then at the park. It was nice knowing that they could be civil with one another and not go for the kill.

Buttercup shrugged her shoulders again as she looked at him and then looked away. Their siblings seemed to have had the same idea as them, as she saw Blossom sitting in a tree, laughing as silently as she could as Brick was looking for her. "Blossom knows how I feel as she sits in the tree."

"What does that mean?" Butch looked to see where Buttercup was looking. Apparently, Brick heard Buttercup because Blossom was now running from him. It was strange to see his brother so carefree like that, as Brick caught the pink 'Puff from behind, both were laughing. It made Butch wonder if one day, Buttercup and he could be like that.

"I don't know. She's just in a good mood, too. I think anyone that's in a good mood knows how another person feels if they are in a good mood, too."

Butch looked around to see the blues talking and laughing under the tree. Bubbles was leaning her head on Boomer's shoulders as he leaned his head on her head. He heard the birds chirping in the sky as they flew by. He caught a dragonfly speeding by and some butterflies that looked like they were having fun.

"You're right. It's like that dragonfly flying by, it seems to know how I feel."

Buttercup just smiled. Whatever this is, it felt good and she didn't want it to stop. She looked at Butch and for some reason when their eyes met; she became shy and looked away. The reds where now sitting down with Blossom in Brick's lap. They really were happy together. Her eyes caught Boomer pushing Bubbles in the near by swing sets.

Everyone was so happy.

"You know, I bet those two will be next to date." Buttercup looked over to Butch as they came near a bench to sit. "Bubbles and Boomer, I mean."

She looked back at them. Boomer was now standing on the swing behind Bubbles as the two laughed as they swung. "Yeah, it seems that way."

However, in Buttercup's opinion, Boomer wasn't ready for Bubbles. If Blondie thought he was just going to ask her sister out before toughening out, he had another thing coming. Of course, Buttercup was going to have to fix that.

...***...

"How was your day?" The girls heard their dad ask as they walked in. He was walking down from the master bedroom. Bubbles and Blossom replied that it was fine as Buttercup just gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked in her room.

"Is Buttercup okay?" Professor ask as he touched the spot she kissed. The blue and pink 'Puff just shrugged their shoulders as the two went up their rooms as well.

...***...

"Stars when you shine, you know how I feel." Buttercup sat on her dark purple sun bed by her window. The night sky cleared from clouds as she watched the stars twinkling back at her. "Scent of the pine, you know how I feel," she said as she caught the whiff of the trees in the neighborhood.

She looked back up to the sky, her smile never let her face. Now that she thought about it, she never did figure out why she was so happy. "Yeah, freedom is mine and I know how I feel."

Getting up, Buttercup moved to her bed to get some sleep for the night. Maybe the good mood she was in would still be here tomorrow.

Butch watched as his green counterpart walked away from the window. Yeah, it was weird that he was at her house but he just wanted to see her. Could this feeling be what Brick felt when he starting hanging out with Blossom? One day and Butch already couldn't get enough of her. She's right about one thing; it really is a good day.

...***...

"Where did you go this time?" Boomer asked as Butch came walked inside Mojo's dome.

Years of losing to the Powerpuff and after the Rowdyruff stopped doing crime; Mojo stopped his villainous ways for good. It's amazing how after Townsville two greatest villains stopped, all the others followed. Now, Mojo worked in his new restaurant that he opened for sushi. Who knew the green monkey could make some good sushi? However, apparently, it was the only thing could make.

Hence, the reason Brick and Boomer learned how to cook and took turns with Mojo on making dinner. Butch tried to cook as well but that ended up with him having to redecorate the kitchen instead.

"Out," Butch said as he kicked his shoes off and went to the kitchen. "What's for dinner?"

"What else do we have on Tuesday nights, sushi."
