Chapter nine:
"Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,"
I sighed, rolled my eyes and rested my cheek on my right hand while my elbow was being prompted up by the arm rest of the car seat.
Blossom would not stop singing at the top of her lungs! I mean, usually I wouldn't mind but come on! Why must she sing a song that fits my current situation!? Actually, why must there be a song on the radio that fits my current situation?! WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO FIT MY CURRENT SITUATION!? Gosh, I hate life sometimes.
"or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere?"
I looked over at Blossom and saw that she was trying to sing passionately while remain control of the steering wheel.
"I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Wait then as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?"
"Enough!" I shouted then turned down the volume of the radio.
Blossom looked at me then started laughing hysterically.
"What are you doing Blossom?! Stop laughing and looking at me! You're driving keep your eyes on the road!"
She turned back to the road but continued laughing.
I sighed and turned to look out the window.
"Why couldn't you have brought Bubbles along?" I grumbled.
"Because Bubbles is getting Robyn her own present and since you will "forget" to, you're coming with me."
I sighed. "Can't I just get her a card?"
She shook her head. "Nope, and if you're not going to get her a present then you're going to help me pick something out for her and say it's from the both of us."
"Fine, I'll get her something." I guess it was the least I could do, she was a good person after all.
Blossom pulled into the parking lot of the mall, found a parking space and turned off the car.
"Ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
"Sweet let's go."
We got off the car and walked into the mall. I really didn't know what to get her so I just followed Blossom into all the stores.
"What are you going to get her?" I asked her.
Blossom shrugged. "Something pretty."
"Yes, very specific."
Blossom sighed. "I'm just looking around until I see something that screams her name. Then, I'll get it for her."
"Is that really all?"
"Yeah, what do you do when you buy me or Bubbles a present?"
"Well, I just go by what's on your wish list."
"Well, Robyn didn't give us a wish list so we can't do that."
I sighed. "I guess I should start walking around."
We went to a couple stores and I still hadn't found anything. Blossom had already bought her a makeup kit and I was about ready to give up.
"Blossom I still haven't found anything that's caught my eye."
"Okay, then just get her something simple like a box of chocolates or something."
I sighed. "Alright." I went into a store where they sold greeting cards and boxes of chocolate but when I was looking for a good box of chocolate I saw a little teddy bear that caught my eye for some reason.
It was a small white teddy bear inside a small white mug with a heart on it. I was going to walk by it and ignored it but my gut instinct told me to get it. I got it and bought it for Robyn.
"That's a nice teddy bear." Blossom commented.
I shrugged. "It caught my eye and I didn't know what else to get her."
"Don't worry she'll like it."
I sighed. It was only one more week until we had to play at Robyn's birthday and I still didn't know what song I was going to sing. I needed to think of something fast.
After we walked around the mall again and bought smoothies we walked out and made out way home.
"So, how's everything going on with you and Brick?" I asked to prevent her from turning on the radio.
She shrugged. "Good…" She smiled and turned pink. "I love him you know?"
I gave her a sincere smile. "I know, and he loves you too."
She blushed harder. "Thanks Butts."
I laughed, I actually laughed. "You're welcome Bloss."
She smiled. "Yeah, but he's actually having a hard time without his powers."
"Really? He doesn't act like it."
She nodded. "He doesn't want to show it. But, he said at first it was really hard to get used to not having powers. He almost jumped off a building because he forgot he couldn't fly anymore."
"That would've been messy."
"Yeah," She sighed. "I hope the professor finds a way to give him his powers back. He grew up without them and they're part of him you know?"
I nodded. "Yes, I do."
She sighed heavily. "You know Buttercup; I just want to let you know that you and Bubbles are my best friends."
"W-what?" I was actually kind of shocked.
She nodded. "Yeah, you guys are my best friends and I am very thankful that you guys are also my sisters."
I felt tears gather up in my eyes. "Aww, you're pulling at my heart strings girl!"
She laughed.
"You're my best friend too." I mumbled.
She looked at me and her eyes were getting red. She let go on the steering wheel and hugged me.
"Uh, Blossom!"
"Yeah?"
"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVING!"
"Oh yeah!" She quickly put both her hands on the steering wheel and controlled the vehicle.
I sighed in relief. "Remind me never to get into a car with you…Ever."
She laughed. "Oh you know you love me."
I laughed. "Well I can choose my friends but I can't choose my family!"
"Ha! You just admitted to me that I was both!"
"Well…Sometimes…"
She gasped and slapped my arm playfully.
I laughed. I loved spending time with my older sister…Even if I didn't want to admit it.
Blossom pulled up the drive way and we walked into our house to find The Professor explaining something to Boomer and Bubbles in the kitchen.
"What's going on?" Asked Blossom.
Bubbles sighed and looked bored. "The Professor came up with the name for the chemical."
"Oh really what is it?" Blossom asked excited.
"Don't get too excited Blossom, it's not that great of a name." Bubbles said.
"Yeah, we're trying to get him to change it." Boomer added.
The Professor ignored him and held up the chemical in the beaker.
"You see, this chemical is stronger than Chemical X and it made Buttercup immoveable and it can give Brick his powers back."
"Yes we already know that Professor." I said, he ignored me.
"So, I decided that this was just a magnificent chemical that it just had to be named!" He shouted in excitement.
"Okay so what is it?" I asked impatiently.
He cleared his throat. "I call it Chemical Y!"
"What?" Blossom and I asked at the same time.
"Told ya." Bubbles and Boomer said at the same time.
"Um, Professor, I hope you don't mind me asking but…Why?"
"Well, it's obvious isn't it Blossom?"
Blossom and I exchanged glances.
"Y comes after X!"
Our eyes widened. "Oh…"
"Professor, maybe we should look for something else to call it…Please…?" Bubbles asked.
"But, Buttercup and Blossom like the name Chemical Y…Don't you girls?"
Blossom and I turned red and started sweating nervously.
"Well it…has a nice ring to it…?" Blossom tried sugar coating it.
I thought about it for a second. Chemical X sounds cool but we already have a chemical called Chemical X…Chemical Y…I don't know it just doesn't sound cool enough for a chemical that is capable of such destruction…What about…?
"I GOT IT!" I shouted.
Everyone turned to look at me.
"Chemical Z!"
Bubbles, Boomer, and Blossom's faces all lit up.
"Yes! I like that better!" Boomer shouted.
Bubbles smiled. "I approve."
Blossom nodded looking satisfied.
I turned to look at The Professor to see what he thought about it.
He rubbed his chin and looked like he was deep in thought.
"Well…It does sound like a good name." He smiled. "Sure why not?"
I smiled and felt super smart for naming the chemical.
"Where are Brick and Butch?" Blossom asked Boomer.
"They're at home gaming…Speaking of which, I better go."
"Why so soon?" Blossom asked.
Boomer snorted. "I've been here for four hours hanging out with Bubs. Now she wants to go over what you guys are going to wear to Robyn's party and that's my cue to leave."
I groaned. "Really Bubbles? You want to go over what we're going to wear?"
"Well, we're going to be up on stage performing! We don't have to be wearing exactly the same thing but we have look sort of well put together."
Blossom bit her lip and turned to look at me. "She has a point."
I groaned. "Fine."
Boomer smiled. "Well, I'll see you guys later."
We nodded. "See you Boomer!" We called as he walked out the door.
*Princess' POV*
So, this the day when I get let out…I was going to get my freedom back, I was going to get all of my clothes and stuff back…So, why did I feel so depressed?
I sat in the corner of my cell hugging my knees to my chest again while rocking back and forth. I looked disgusting, I couldn't wait to get out and take a shower.
I waited a while longer, Mojo and Him had gone to lunch and I stayed here. I already knew everything I was going to tell Ace. Well, besides what I had already told him. When I saw him again I was going to tell him that Mojo and Him got the supplies to make the laser from things they found around the jail, they were going to use the laser to break down the wall and the electric fence. Then they were going to go to Mojo's house and get more weapons.
What was really happening though is that I'm going to get bailed out, tell Ace a bunch of BS, go home and see if my daddy will let me in, get some rest for a couple days then sneak into Mojo's place. I had worked this plan out already with Mojo and Him. They agreed to it, they said I needed to lay low for a couple days then come get them…I sighed, sounds easy doesn't? Yeah well, it probably would be if the guilt wasn't eating at my conscience.
My heart leaped as I saw the prison guard come and open the door for me.
"Princess Morebucks, you're free to go."
I slowly stood up. "D-did A-Ace…?"
"Bail you out? Yes he did, you can kiss this sweet place good bye."
I gulped and followed him out of my jail cell. He walked me out to the front of the jail where Ace was standing smile at me while his arms were folded across his chest.
"Hey there Princess."
"H-hey." I don't know why I was stuttering all of a sudden.
"Ready to go?"
I nodded. "Yes please just get me out of here." I mumbled.
He nodded and led me to his piece of crap car. I didn't say anything to him though, I was happy I was getting out of here, even if it was in an old rusted car that was practically falling apart.
"Am I taking you home?" Ace asked.
I nodded while looking out the window.
"Okay, have you talked to your dad?"
I shook my head. "No, he doesn't know."
"Did he go visit you while you were in jail?"
I shook my head again. "N-not at all."
He sighed. "Well, now you can go home and explain to him what happened and wash up…You look-"
"Like death? Yes I know…I look like shit."
He sighed. "I'm sorry Princess…"
I chuckled humourlessly. "You know, I used to love watching people suffer, but now that I'm in this situation I feel bad for enjoying it."
"You know what Princess?"
"What?"
"You've really changed."
"Thanks Ace."
"You're welcome." I heard a smile in his voice.
The rest of the car ride was silent and then he stopped in front of my big mansion.
I sighed and turned to look at me. "Thanks Ace…For everything."
He smiled. "No problem Princess…Do you need me to go inside with you?"
I shook my head. "It's okay I'll be fine."
"Are you sure? Your dad might be pretty surprised if he sees you."
I nodded. "He probably will be but don't worry about it really…It'll be okay."
"Do you want me to at least wait out here for you?"
I sighed. I'm not going to lie I was terrified. I looked back at my house then back at Ace. I shook my head, no; he had done way too much for me. And here I was betraying him.
"No you go home Ace, you've done enough to help me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." I whispered.
He sighed. "Okay."
I tried to smile. "Thanks again for everything." I opened the car door and walked out; I sighed and slammed the car door.
I turned around and waved to Ace, he bit his lip but drove away. I stood there until I was sure he was gone.
I turned back to my house; I took a deep breath and walked up to the front porch.
I knocked three times and heard loud footsteps walk toward the door. I gulped when I realised they were my dad's. I braced myself when the door opened and revealed him looking down at me.
"Princess?" He asked shocked.
"D-daddy?" I was on the verge of crying.
"What are you doing here?!" He exploded.
I gulped. "I-well-I…"
"You? You what?!"
"Um, I was bailed out…"
His face was red with anger. "BY WHO?!"
"B-by Ace from the Gangreen Gang…"
He groaned. "You know Princess I kept you in jail for a reason!"
Tears escaped my eyes and I quickly brushed them away.
"I am sick and tired of your attitude, your behaviour, and…And of YOU!"
I couldn't help it, I started sobbing. "Just get out of my sight Princess; I don't want to look at you."
He slammed the door in face. I stood there after he left staring at the door processing everything that had just happened…It's over now…I have nothing.
I turned around and started walking away from my house…From my old life.
*Buttercup's POV*
"No! No! NO!" I shouted. "I am NOT wearing a SKIRT!"
"Come one Buttercup! Majority rules!" Bubbles giggled.
Blossom sighed. "Come on Buttercup, it's not like it's a formal skirt. It's a jean skirt, you'll be able to wear converse with it."
"Yeah and knee high socks and a tee shirt." Bubbles added.
I sighed. "Why?"
"Because!" They said at the same time. "Majority rules!"
I looked down at the outfits we were going to wear.
I was going to wear a jean skirt, green and black stripped knee high socks, black converse, and a green tee shirt. Bubbles and Blossom would wear pretty much the same thing except they would be wearing the outfit in their colours.
I sighed. "Fine, I'll try it."
Bubbles squealed in excitement and hugged me. "Thank you so much Buttercup! I love you!"
I laughed. "Yeah, yeah."
She let go of me. "Do you know what song you're going to sing yet?"
"Well…I do have an idea…"
"Ooh, really what is it?!"
I smiled and plugged in my ipod to the speakers. I found the song and pressed play.
*Princess' POV*
What was I going to do now? I had nowhere to go, I had no one…I sighed and continued to walk down the street, the sun was setting and it was getting dark. And if that weren't enough my stomach was screaming at me to eat something…What the hell was I supposed to eat?
Suddenly, I walked by a store that had apples, oranges, bananas and other fruits for sale outside. Maybe I could take and apple and slip it in my pockets without anyone noticing.
I walked casually by the fruit and waited for the sales person to turn away. I quickly grabbed and apple and stuffed it in my pocket. Just when I thought I was making a clean getaway I heard someone yell:
"Hey get back here!"
"Damn it." I mumbled under my breath and started running. No way am I giving up my apple!
I continued running and started turning corners to make the man confused but he was gaining on me. I turned a corner and groaned when there was a big fence in my way. I started climbing it rapidly, when I was on the other side I jumped off of it and turned to see that the man had spotted me and was beginning to climb the fence.
I groaned again and started running faster, finally I was sure that I had lost the guy.
I sighed and sat down on the muddy ground; I took the apple from my pocket, wiped it on my sleeve and took a big bight of it. The juicy apple left a big wave of flavour in my mouth, my stomach begged for more. I tried savouring it but I needed more and it seemed like I had finished it too soon.
I got up and looked around to see if I could find something to make a shelter with. I found a lovely little cardboard box; I took it and saw that it was actually large enough to fit me. I also found some newspaper I could use to wrap myself with when I went to sleep.
I sighed and tried to make myself comfortable in the cardboard box. So this was it eh? I went from being the richest girl in my school to the poorest in a matter of weeks…I guess I really am a loser.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I must be honest I actually feel sorry for Princess! Who would've thought she would've ended off that way?! So, I don't know if I'll be able to update again this week, that's why I updated quickly. I have to study for a test on Friday so I don't know…I promise I'll write more and update more next week because that's Christmas break. Anyways, please review! BYE!
