In Brick's head.
OK, what am I going to do? Boomer is going to ask out Bubbles no matter what I do. Butch was making out with Buttercup. And I keep wanting to hold Blossom close to my body.

This can't happen! They killed us! If anything it should be making us stronger like that time when Him brought us back to life. But it's not! We're staying the fucking same! There has to be some explanation of why we don't explode anymore. OK let me think this through.....

What Him said was almost exacly this:
"Circle, circle, dot, dot. Now you have a cootie shot."

What still baffles me is we actually have a scar like that. On the insides of our left arms. OK if I look at mine...wait a minute..... I have both circles but the dot is just on both of them. I know when I was little I had both dots and circles. They were spread out though.

The only thing I can come up with is that the shot is loosing effect, or because we're getting older the chemicals in it are mutating and causing us to not explode or get stronger.

And of course, knowing my luck, it was the second one. Guess there's nothing that I can change. (During this thought process the 6 had headed off to school)

Out of Brick's thoughts
Blossom's POV

We got to school about a half hour early. When we walked into school we got the strangest, most terrified looks ever. I could guess why. We were the six most powerful humans in the country. And as you can imagine together we were a pretty scary group.

Anyways we paired up and headed our separate ways.

Boomer had really wanted to talk to Bubbles about something and she really wanted to show him the schools student art gallery. So They headed off in the way of the fine arts classes.

Buttercup and Butch they had some stuff they had wanted to do. (After seeing Brick close their door the way he did I assumed they were an item now.) So they headed off to the track field.

I headed off to my locker to drop my stuff off and Brick followed me. He had told me he wanted a tour of the school so we were going to do that once I dropped my stuff off.

On another note, why did he kiss me? It made me blush just thinking about it. I mean the first time he had kissed me to shut me up it had been so fast most wouldn't count it as a kiss. But when he did it last night it felt like he had put his whole heart into it. I will never forget how it felt when he had his arms around me. It had felt like the entire world was happy.

Anyways after a few minutes we had arived at my locker.

"Hey Blossom, I know this might be a pain, but do you think I can store my big books in your locker until I get one?" Brick asked once we had got there.

"Sure." I said as I started dialing in my combination. I got my locker open and a note fell out. Brick looked at it with question and I picked it up. We put our stuff in my locker then I started reading the note aloud.

"Dear Songbirds...." I read the first line. Both our eyes went wide. I started reading again, softer.

"Dear Songbirds,
I saw you at the hidden rose last night. Who ever would have guessed that you two would be the perfect duet? Obviously you guys want to keep this a secret or you wouldn't have been at the opposite side of the town. AND you wouldn't have flown away so fast. So, if you want to keep the secret safe I suggest you listen to my next note. Until then, have fun with singing.
Ain't blackmail fun?
-The Hidden Face"

Brick's POV
Blossom read the letter aloud and I just couldn't believe it. Who would want to blackmail us? Everybody in school was afraid of us and our siblings. Why would they blackmail us? I looked at Blossom and she was just staring at the letter in disbelief. I knew one thing then and there.

"Hey Blossom. I have some sweet and sour news for ya'." I said.

"What is it?" She asked looking me in the eyes. I looked back into hers and the entire world stopped. I knew what I had to do in order to tell her this right.

I wrapped my arms around her, dipped her in the middle of the hallway, and pressed my lips to hers. I tightened my hold around her. After a minute I finished the kiss and said,

"We're in this together."

There you have it. I'll be honest I was going to have it be a cliff right after he said that he had sweet and sour news but sense I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to update I decided to go with it in this chapter.

So Does this mean Brick likes Blossom? Will she like him back? Who's blackmailing them? Find out next time in, 'Players and Secrets." Please rate and review! :)
