I'm so sorry it took me a long time to update; I was kind of just pulling this out of a magic hat.

Also I had a great idea for another that I wanted to write before I lost it.

Anyway, here is chapter 7 and I hope you all like it, on with the story

Buttercup's POV

"The Power Children Project," Blossom asked. "You never told us about any of this. What is it all about?" This got me a little curious as well. Why would the Professor deliberately hide something about our creation?

"It was just a little group of a few friends of mine. We were looking to figure out how to create life without needing the full process of it all. After a few months of nothing but terrible results we began to lose hope in the experiment. We started to fight amongst each other. Matthew was the first to leave, or at least the first to be kicked out. He kept on ranting about how everything needed to be rushed and finished so we could get back at all the people who laughed at us. He became mad with revenge in the end it ruined him." The Professor explained. He went on telling us about our 'birth', but I stopped paying attention. I didn't really care about how and why we were created, I was just satisfied that we were. I could tell that I wasn't the only one losing interest with it either. Bubbles and Boomer were drifting off to the living room, talking about how cool it was to be counterparts with each other and how similar their interests were.

"They look cute together." I thought to myself and froze when I realized it. Me, Buttercup Utonium was thinking about cute couples? I had to get away from my girly sisters before it was too late. "Hey Butch, want me to show you where the skate park is?" I whispered leaning close to him. He looked back and nodded eagerly. I grabbed my two best skateboards and tossed one to Butch. I told Bubbles what was going out but I don't think she heard me completely; she was too interested in the conversation she was having with the blue brother. I didn't doubts that anyone would miss us though, in any case not until it got dark. We flew all the way there. The park was on the other side of town but it didn't take us that long. There were a few other skaters but we just ignored them. "So Butchie boy, what you got?" I taunted.

"Well Butterbabe, to watch and learn." Butch said. Soon after he was doing trick after trick. The other skaters stopped what they were doing and watched him. They even backed away so he could use the whole area for his tricks. He finally came to a stop in front of me and everyone around us clapped. My mouth dropped and all Butch could do was laugh. "Liked what you saw?" Liked it? That was frickin' amazing but I couldn't tell Butch that. Shaking my head, I put on a face of indifference.

"It was okay. I could have done better." I said and Butch snickered. "What, don't you believe me? I guess it's your turn to watch and learn from the real master." In no time at all we were both showing off our best tricks and having a blast. Never before had I had so much fun. There was nothing I loved more than competitions. They could erase everything going on around me and I concentrate only on winning; it was my form of escape. Blossom tries to get me to stop all my fighting, but that's like asking her to purposely fail all her classes or Bubbles to go emo for life. I could never and will never do it. Our competition continued for a long time. Neither one of us were willing to admit defeat. When both of us were too tired to continue we called a temporary truce. "Not bad, for a spoiled pop star." I said breathing heavily.

"You're not too bad yourself, for a girl at least." He said back, breathing as heavily as I. All around us, the world started to fade back around us. All the people and their voices cheering us one started to register in my ears. Most of these skaters there had seen me on some day or another but none had seen me go all out like what I just did. I wondered what else Butch could do that would result in a major battle like the one we just did. I wouldn't be that surprised if there was. I guess that's what the professor meant when he said counterparts. We looked at each other when we finally got our breaths, then lost them again laughing. "Wow, I haven't had that much fun in a looong time." Butch said with a wide smile.

"Yeah, same here," I laughed along. It was kind of fun to hang out with Butch like this. It wasn't like hanging out with someone famous or even with someone I just meet (which I was). I was hanging with a friend who got me and I got him. I may have had other male friends who got me, but none gave me the same feelings I got when I was hanging with Butch. I couldn't really describe it, but it felt like something just clicked between us.

"Yo, Buttercup! That was awesome!" I heard a voice call from the crowed. I turned to see my best male friend in the whole world, Mitch, walking up from the crowd. "I knew you always held back whenever you do, well anything, but not that much." He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Well of course. I don't want to show off. Besides, didn't think I was as weak as you are, did you?" I said sarcastically. We laughed lightly. Mitch and I go back all the way to kindergarten. He was one of the few people that could keep up with me in gym class, and I always liked having a guy to talk with. "So how have you been lately? We haven't talked in like forever." I really wanted to catch up with Mitch but apparently my counterpart had other plans. He grabbed my upper arm and started to pull me away from everyone.

"Come on; let's get back to your house." He said never talking his eyes off of Mitch. I couldn't really tell what it was but there was something in his eyes that made me want to protect Mitch from him. This confused me a little. I know I am not as smart as Blossom but there was no reason for Butch to be protective. Mitch was a good guy with no powers so there was no way he could hurt us even if he wanted to.

"What? Why? No one will notice or disappearance. And it's not like we do homework or anything. Besides, it's still light outside." I said trying to take my arm back with no such luck.

"It just I am not liking the company." Butch half growled. It then realized what he meant. He didn't like me talking to Mitch. What did he think I was; one of his little trophies he has on his fireplace? "Let's get going."

"No!" I yelled angrily. My refusal studded him enough so I could get my arm out of his grasp. "If you want to leave, then go ahead no bodies stopping you. But I would prefer to stay here and talk with my friend Mitch. You cannot tell me what to do, okay? If anything it is the other way around since I am your bodyguard for what, the next three days. Oh, and don't expect me to come and pick up your stupid ass tomorrow cause I won't be." I just stared at him angrily. Who was he to tell me who I could hang out with or not?

"Fine, but if anything happens, oh faithful bodyguard, it will be on your conscience." Butch growled throwing my skateboard at me. I caught it easily but had to take a step back from the force.

"However will I be able to sleep?" I said. I then walked away from him pulling Mitch along with me. I felt the gust of air hit my back as he took of leaving only a green strip of light in his wake.

"Buttercup, if you still wanted to hang out with him we could always later. Besides I didn't mind his comment about 'the company'." Mitch said calmly.

"Yeah well, I did mind it. How could he be that rude? He doesn't even know you. He was just being his spoiled little rich boy self and that is what irritates me." I huffed as we walked out of the skate park. I wondered why Mitch was so calm about it. He was basically insulted and still he took it as if it was nothing.

"He likes you." Mitch said emotionlessly. I stopped and stared at him. He stopped and turned to me. "That's why he wanted to leave. He didn't want to have to fight for your attention with another man."

"What do mean by that? If I know him like I think I do, he wouldn't care if he had to fight. It would just be another challenge he already considers he won." I growled. Butch liking me that was one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Sure he would flirt with me but that didn't mean anything; and sure we had some common interests but that was beside the point. We would be friends if anything not… I couldn't even think of what it would be like to date him. Mitch suddenly laughed bringing me out of my thoughts. He was almost doubled over laughing so hard. "What's so funny?!" I yelled.

"You may be a tomboy, BC, but you are no boy." He continued to laugh. I just stared at him dumb founded. What did he mean by that? Of course I was no guy, and I wasn't trying to be one either. "I'm going to leave you think on that. Maybe you should ask one of your sisters to explain it to you." He waved and left me standing on the sidewalk. I watched as his figure disappeared from view. I was totally confused. How could my sisters explain it to me? With nothing better to do, I decided to walk home. Brick and Boomer had already left when I go there and Bubbles was starting to make dinner. I wasn't hungry so I walked up to my room and laid down on my bed. I stared at the white ceiling above my bed. My eyes felt heavy and I let them fall slowly with one person still on my mind. Why did he always have to be so hard to figure out.

Sorry again it took me so long to figure out.

Thank you for waiting so long and reading, now please review.
