Chapter 8: Good Bye, Buttercup
Buttercup stood in the rain on top of a skyscraper. Her jet black hair was soaked through as her green emerald eyes continued to stare into the vast dark sky.
"Lost in my dreams- I'm here in the shadows of my life. Wondering where you could be. I know it's just my foolish heart."
She looked down to find the leader of the Green Gang exiting the building with his members. Buttercup swallowed hard and kept her eyes on his figure. None of them held an umbrella as they climbed into a limo.
Ace was the last to enter but before he did, he looked up. Buttercup's eyes widened and he smiled up at her. He disappeared into the vehicle with a wink and Buttercup looked away holding her hands to her chest. Ace had been her first crush when she had been five, but he had changed when she had grown older.
Her sisters never found out, but Buttercup began to date Ace. Ace now worked in the negotiation business, all of it was done legally. He and his group had gone back to school and now made a good living. Most of them anyway.
"I just can't let him go."
She had lost her mind over him again and wanted to be with him every day. Ace seemed to love her too, but then he said their relationship couldn't go on any longer. He said he wanted a woman and that she was a child who couldn't give him what he needed.
Buttercup hardly saw him after that. Buttercup sat down on the edge of the building. "When I think of you, you never say no."
Buttercup traced her lips with her pinky and sighed with the memories of his lips against hers. Ace was the only man she had ever kissed. Ace was twenty some years old now.
Buttercup lay on her back and stared blankly at the thundering sky. Butch's kiss didn't count. Butch was a teen boy. He wasn't a real man like Ace. There was nothing to compare.
Buttercup was searching for a man who was willing and able to protect her. Butch was able, but he was nowhere being mature. What kind of a man would that make?
Her eyes closed and then she heard feet landing besides her. She reopened her eyes and stared at Butch's face. "What are you bothering me for again?"
Buttercup sat up and jumped off the ledge hovering a few feet off the edge. Butch crossed his arms, "Do you love Trevor?"
"What are you insane? Of course not." Buttercup stared at his dark forest green orbs.
"Then why did you let him touch you?"
Buttercup lifted an eye brow," Touch me? Gosh, you're so possessive. Plus it doesn't concern you who I let or don't let touch me. Butt off why don't you."
Butch formed his hands into fists," Feh, you think you're not mine, but you are. Once I kiss someone they are marked as mine." Buttercup frowned and then smirked," So you're a dog now. A dog that marks its territory."
"Mock me now, green, but you'll see I'm no one to mess with." Butch flew off and Buttercup stared at his fading trail of light. "No, I can't love you. Not you Butch. You're just an ass looking for action."
'Isn't action and power all I ever wanted- the company of my sisters and saving the town by fighting.' Buttercup made a gagging noise and sighed, her shoulders slump, "Lovey dovey, Buttercup. Uhh, this makes me sick. Forget love. Who really needs it?"
Buttercup flew off.
School started and Buttercup failed to see Trevor in class. She began to worry. Butch might have done something to the guy.

"Hyper Rolling Arial Ace!" Blossom pointed to the sky and the monster shrieked in anger or was it fear?
The monster was odd looking. He seemed to be almost in pain as it walked, but it was destroying the city and people were screaming in pain. Buttercup was used to seeing the blood of the victims. As young girls, the monsters were not killed because they were never truly evil. As of recent years true evil monsters had found their way into the city and were totally executed.
They were going to do the same thing to this one.
Bubbles stopped mid way and called out to her sisters. " Girls! I think it's in real pain."
Buttercup scoffed," Of course it is, Bubbles. We are trying to kill it."
Blossom flew over to her blue sister, "The faster we do this the less it will experience pain, Bubbles." Buttercup continued to attack, "Yeah, plus, I always finish it off."
Bubbles obeyed her sister and continued her directions.

Blossom and Bubbles waited for Buttercup at home. They were in the bath tub, waiting for Buttercup to return. When she did turn up minutes later, she was covered in blood. Buttercup ignored her sisters' comments and climbed into the tub turning the bathtub water red.
Bubbles freaked and jumped out of the bath and so did Blossom. "Buttercup!"
She didn't reply and just sat there with her clothes on, a blank on her face.
"What's wrong, Buttercup? Did something happen?" Blossom held Buttercup's shoulder shaking it slightly.
"It was human. He said, Good bye, Buttercup. " Buttercup stared at her sisters. "It sounded like Trevor."
"Who do you mean by 'it'? Blossom spoke softly.
"The monster I just finished off." Buttercup stared down at the red water.
Bubbles placed her hand over her mouth and muffled a cry, "No."
A/N: DUM DUM DUH- Hopefully BC was in character! :3
