Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me. "Just Jane," by Christopher Rouse
"No."
"You will."
"No, I won't, and that's that."
"Brick!"
"Blossom!"
She pulled on his arms as he refused to get out of his chair. "Why are you going to bring me to a club if we're not even going to dance?"
"It seemed romantic all the time." Brick replied, grunting, as Blossom threatened to pull of his arms. He struggled and struggled, but then…Blossom put on her puppy dog eyes. He couldn't resist.
So, he stood up from his chair. Blossom giggled, leading him to the dance floor, and more than ever Brick could feel his heart beating loudly in his ears. To his utter misfortune, a slow song was put on. He nervously wrapped his hands around Blossom's waist as she placed her hands on his shoulders. "I warn you, Blossom, I'm not that much of a dancer."
It was an average day
Dull in every way
Until, until the sun broke through
"I'll let you in on a little secret, Brick, neither am I. There was this one time that I started dancing in front of everybody for a school talent show, and I fell off the stage. Everybody was laughing at me. That was the end of my dancing career." Blossom explained, looking up at Brick, as he laughed at her. "It's not funny! I sprained my ankle."
It's wasn't the sky, no
The light came from her eyes
On that cold September morning
Brick tried to put on a straight face, but found that it was impossible to do so. "Poor baby. I'm sorry. It's just I can't imagine you not always being Miss Perfect. I mean, you're always so graceful, and you falling is a sight to see."
I saw her in the rain
To me she was the moon and the stars the world
She was
"Really? You think I'm graceful?" She asked, amused by Brick's words.
Just Jane
But she's everything to me, she is just Jane
And she's all I'll ever need
Brick couldn't help, but let his cheeks change to a red color as Blossom giggled at him. "Well…, um, yeah. I always thought you were graceful."
She gives more than she takes
And she takes my breath away
"Always?"
Yeah, in the words I should always be Just Jane
But because of her my world has changed
Oh yeah
"Always," he replied, smoothly.
I tried to catch her eyes
As she was walking by first
As first she seemed confused
"I know I kind of chickened out earlier when I was trying to compliment, but you really do look amazing tonight, Blossom. Not that you don't always look amazing. Really, every day, you look breath taking, but what I'm trying to say here is that I'm glad that I'm here and making an idiot out of myself." Brick said, nodding.
I saw she wasn't sure, my smile was meant for her
I said I can't help but notice you
Blossom grinned playfully. "Thank you, Brick. You don't look all that bad yourself. I'm really happy that I'm here, too, and with you. I never expected to feel like this about you.
And when you find that someone special
You don't let them slip away
So tell what your name is, she answered by saying
"Phew! I'm so glad I'm not the only one here. Blossom, there's just something about you that I like. I mean, there's nothing all that specific, but what I mean to say, or what I'm trying to get out is, that I really really like being with. I'm happy that you're my girlfriend, but all of this is happening so quickly. As if…"
Just Jane
But she's everything to me, she is just Jane
And she's all I'll ever need
"As if?" Blossom questioned, nervously.
She gives more than she takes
"As if, I was meant to feel this way about you." And that was the bad part, Brick still had his plans to kill Blossom, but he didn't want to anymore. But then there was…Him.
And she takes my breath away
Oh, yeah. In the words I should always be just Jane
But because of her, my world has changed
Oh
Blossom blushed as Brick continued babbling like a lovesick idiot. He was so cute when he didn't know what to see, and it was nice to see that he wasn't the jerk she once thought that he was. And, to top that, he had just revealed to her that he thought that he was destined to have these feelings. She felt the exact same way. "Brick," she interrupted his thoughts, looking in his red eyes. He looked back into hers.
Oh she might seem ordinary
But she was hard to find
One main thing that really impresses us is her love
She rested her head on his chest, closing her eyes. Brick was almost shock, but that quickly turned into something else. Something that he wasn't sure of. It felt like…, but it probably wasn't. He wasn't designed to feel that way about a Powerpuff. Yet, he was still here, with Blossom, and he didn't want to hurt her. Brick wanted to keep her safe from the world. He would have to eventually tell her.
And her love if just mine, just mine
Blossom pulled away from the embrace with a soft smile adorning her pink lips. She had a look in her eyes that made Brick want to run away and hide. It was all too much for him. Alas, the temptation was pulling him in like a fish to a hook.
She is just Jane
But she's everything to me
She is just Jane
He started leaning down as their lips neared.
And she's all I'll ever need
"Blossom, there is something that I have to tell you."
She gives more than she takes
"Shhh," she whispered, smiling.
And she takes me breath away
But she ignored his plea to stop, and so did he. There was only one thing on his mind, and that was Blossom. The person that made him feel alive for the first time, or maybe when Brick was with her he really was living. Either way, he felt something with her.
In the words I should always be Just Jane
Because of her, my world has changed, oh, changed
She is just Jane, she is just Jane
At last, their lips pressed against each others sweetly.
She is just Jane
