A few days had passed and I hadn't seen Butch or had any strange dreams, my life seemed to return back to normal. Or at least as normal as it could possibly be for a super powered teen. Buttercup laid in her bed for a moment before there was a knock at the door. "Come in'. Bubbles entered slowly "Hey Buttercup, I was going to the mall and wanted to see if you wanted to come with?' I got up and stretched "Normally I would say No but you know we haven't hung out in so long so why not'. Bubbles giggled "You're normally too busy hanging out with Butch' How dare she! "Shut up Bubbles!'. Stupid bubbly sister. Bubbles smiled "Weird I still haven't seen him around, or any of his brothers'.
"They don't get out much, now lets go' I led the way taking my sisters hand heading for the door.
After flying for a few minutes we found the mall, there are a lot of places I don't like going to, the dentist, the doctor and the mall. Any one of these places are sources of pain for anyone with an IQ over 6. But Bubbles seems to enjoy herself and we don't really hang out as much as we use to so it was definitely a grin and bare it kind of day.
"Where to first, there's the places that sells make up and shoes and dresses and' Bubbles babbled on. At this point I tuned her out due to the fact I had no interest in any of these places but If I let her continue she'll name every store here. "Bubbles' I uttered yet she continued. "Bubbles?' Yet she didn't stop. "Bubbles!'
"Yes?' She politely responded.
"Where ever you want to go' I replied slowly realizing that was a bad choice of words for her eye's lit up and she dragged me into the closest store.
After the first forty minutes of watching Bubbles dig though bins of purses it dawned on me exactly what I had just gotten myself into. Who could possibly be this much into purses? It was a question that already had an answer and it was Bubbles.
"Hello, you there?' My Bubbly sister asked. "Oh sorry spaced out there' I chuckled. I'm so bored kill me now.
After another 2 hours of clothes shopping we stopped at a bench in the middle of the mall. Bubbles took a deep breath before collapsing on the bench. I don't blame her for being winded, watching her shop alone made me tired.
"You sure there's no place you want to go?' Bubbles asked trying to catch her breath. I scanned the place looking for something that seemed at least worth looking through. I looked around until I spotted a music store. "lets check that place out' I had been in there before it wasn't a great music store but compared to all the other store it was a haven.
Bubbles followed as I walked in and peered through the CD's and videos that I had seen once before, nothing special. While looking through the used section is where I struck gold. "Holy sh-t this is cool!'.
I peered down at a very rare cd that had been autographed by the band themselves. Why someone would sell this to this store I have no idea. Bubbles came up to me "Find anything?' she asked. "Well still kind of looking'. She nodded "Can you hold my purse while I go to the bathroom. I nodded "Sure'. Off she went.
I still never broke my gaze from the cd . German Punk band Die Kassierer single for mein glied ist zu groß. This is a rarity….I must have it. I searched my pockets to pull out just a few old receipts. Why must I be broke. After pondering what to do I looked at Bubbles purse. I seemed to look at it for a long time before it had happened. My hand slipped the cd into the purse and zipped it up.
After a few moments of just looking at the bag Bubbles returned. "Are you getting anything?' I started pushing her towards the door and right as we passed the door an alarm went off, Dammit. A store clerk approached us "mam I'm sorry but I'm going to have to see your bag'. I stepped forward "Excuse me but do you know who we are?'. The clerk hesitated "Your Buttercup and Bubbles'. I cut him off "That's right we're the PowerPuff Girls and why would we shoplift anything from this sad excuse of a store anyways you have Blink 182 and Good Charlotte in the Punk section and we all know that's Pop/Punk wussy sh*t!'. I put the scare in him cause he backed off "yes mam sorry mam, carry on'.
With that me and Bubbles left the mall and headed home. Bubbles seemed quiet "Something the matter Bubs?' I asked. Bubbles hesitated "I wonder why that alarm went off' she said looking into her purse.
Oh sh*t. Bubbles pulled out the cd "I don't remember getting this?' she said. I snatched it from her "It's mine I bought it while you were in the bathroom' I waved the receipts that I found in my pocket in her face.
Bubbles lowered my hand "If you had the receipts why didn't you just show that guy instead of yelling at him?' she asked. "Since when do we have to prove our innocence to anybody, we saved the city so many times doesn't that count for anything? I'm telling you there's lots of ungrateful people in this town I swear' I grumbled as we finally got home.
Bubbles still seemed bothered by the incident. "You want to listen to the cd with me. She nodded and smiled following me to my room. I plugged my guitar in cause I had be practicing it for a while. Plugged in my microphone and played the song. "thanks for coming out everybody especially Bubbles' I joked as my sister applauded. I played my guitar along to the song and sung the chorus. The song was in German and the chorus was the only part I could pronounce correctly.
I think Bubbles started to like it cause she would sing along with me from time to time.
"mein glied ist zu groß, du bist zu eng für mich. mein glied ist zu groß, du bist zu eng für mich.'
I played and let the last note ring out. My sister applauded "Buttercup that was so cool!'. I bowed to my audience, she had a point I was awesome. After bowing for a moment I saw Butch outside my window applauding me and wearing the signature smirk of his. I rubbed my eyes and check again and he was gone. "Buttercup what does Mein Glied ist zu groß mean?' My Bubbly sister asked.
I laughed "it means my penis is too big'. Bubbles ran out of my room "eewwwwww Buttercup that's so gross I can't believe you had me saying that!'.
Well I had to go to the mall she had to say funny things in German, it was a good day for both of us.
