It's January 26, the day before my birthday. Of course my dads don't know about it. I haven't told them yet because they're all stressed out about returning to their own castles in their own regions of the world. I feel that it would not do them any good to know a meaningless thing such as my birthday. Concerning my true family, my fathers have asked many questions. I have given them all the information I could without giving too much away. I have told them about their powers and what they look like, but that was all they got out of me. Since the New Years Eve party was over and another one would be held for another five years or so, I have moved back into Princess' room and took down the stupid sniper photos of my green dad. Everything is more or less the same from before the party and after. Boomer has completely forgiven me for trying to run away, I even think he has forgotten it. However, Butch and Brick have been keeping a watchful eye on me at all times. Butch is still couching me with my powers. He is even helping with the sonic scream and ice breath. Boomer, in my opinion, has become more of a love struck puppy. At every opportunity, he will try to find out as much as possible about Aunt Bubbles. Brick attitude towards me hasn't changed much. However, he has changed his mind about me not being able to leave the mansion. The school he send me to is somewhere in the city a few towns over. The school isn't that bad though, I even have the top grades in the school thanks to Brick's teachings. I have even made friends with a girl named Marissa and a guy named David. (A/N those are great friends of mine) I don't even know how it happened. One minute I was sitting in the back of the class room minding my own business trying to pay attention to the lesson, which I wished Brick was teaching because he would have made interesting; the next thing I know I am laughing up a storm in the café over something David had said at lunch. I liked the school and the people in it. None of the people were jerks or stuck up, I was in heaven. What made me even happier was that some of the cousins of the ASRA members were in the school. I knew most of them and they knew me. They happily sent messages home for me, and even brought some back. Most of the messages were just telling me how worried they were about me. I just keep telling them not to worry because I'm safe but leave out the part that I'm safe because the RRB protect me from everything they can.
Anyway, it is a Saturday and I was making lunch. I had made soups, and sandwiches of all kinds. The guys were up in a spear room, like that narrows down the possibility of their location in the mansion, having a meeting. I wasn't allowed to know what it was about. I knew that if it was important for me to know then they would have told me. It was going to be really lonely once they left. When lunch was ready, they still hadn't finished their little conference. "What are they even talking about? It been two hours already." I asked out loud to no one. "I guess I'll just go to get them then." I walked up to the room they were in and was almost blown backwards by a wave frustration. I could tell that all three of them were feeling the same way. I wished they would have told me what they were talking about; I could have helped in some way. I leaded my ear against the door. I knew eavesdropping was wrong but I wanted to help them. But then again, what I heard shocked me to the core.
"I don't think we should decide for her." Boomer said, but in a way that made me think he had said it numerous times before.
"Well we can't leave Bunny behind either." Butch retorted. "They were talking about me." I thought to myself. "How long has this been going on?"
"I keep telling you, I don't want to leave her. I just said she should choose herself who she wants to stay with for the summer." Boomer explained my guess for the hundredth time.
"As her teacher, I still say she should come with me, for educational purposes of course." Brick added to the conversation.
"And I said that's bull shit. She can go to school anywhere." Butch said angrily. "There is no reason why you should keep her for yourself the whole summer."
"This has gone on for two hours. Just let her pick who she wants to stay with." Boomer half yelled. They were talking about me, and where I will be staying when they leave. I didn't understand why they were so worried about me. Of course I thought that I would just stay at the mansion and watch over things here and wait longingly for their return. They might think I would run away again, or a something else might happen if they don't keep a watchful eye on me.
Without fully realizing it, I interrupted the meeting by simply knocking on the door a few times. Everyone in the room went quiet. "Lunch is ready. Come get it while it's hot." I called covering up my mistake. I heard a few more whispers but they eventfully came out and walked with me towards the lunch I had made for us.
It was a silent lunch, almost like them discussing me was too unbearable to talk about. "We have something we want to talk with you about, Bunny." Boomer said suddenly when we were almost done with lunch. Butch and Brick didn't even acknowledge that their brother had spoken. I just nodded as I took the last few bits of my sandwich. "You know will be leaving February 1st and almost everything is ready for our departure. The only thing that remains to be dealt with is you."
"So there are now going to tell me where I'll be staying for the summer." I thought. In reality I said, "I will be staying here, right? Keep the house clean; don't through any parties, and patiently a wait for you guys to return in August." I tried to keep any emotion out of my voice. I had to make it sound like I was okay with them leaving me.
"We were actually planning on taking you with us." Butch explained. He sounded a little bit hurt; whether that was because I didn't want to go or if he thought I wouldn't want to go with him I was unsure about.
I scrunched up my face and tilted my head as if I was confused or something like that. "I don't get it. How can I go with all three of you guys? This is the only time when all three of you are together. I can't be split into three parts, so who will I stay with?"
Brick laced his fingers together and put his hands on the table. "That is why we are stumped. Since all three of us want you, we are going to leave it up to you. Who would you like to go with?" I thought about this for a few seconds. I knew that if I made a choice right now, the other two will be saddened. Seeing my discomfort Brick added, "Of course you don't have to make your decision now. That would be too much of a pressure on just a single moment. But please let us know who will choose before the 30th." Brick finished.
"I rather not choose at all." I said which was the truth. Brick was a great teacher, Butch was someone I could really connect with, and Boomer was one of my closest friends. How could they ever expect me to choose between the three of them? "Can't I just stay here?" I asked but I came out more like I was whining.
"That would not be okay with us, you know." Boomer said almost scared. "Who knows what might happen to you?"
"You don't have to worry about me." I said, trying my best to sound brave. "Don't forget, I'm a daughter of the Power Puff Girls. Nothing will bring me down without a big kick in the butt." I pump my fist in the air to show I was ready for anything.
"We don't doubt you, little rabbit. We just can't leave you, for both moral and physical. If we left you behind and something did happen to you, how would we ever live with ourselves?" Boomer asked. Ever since New Year's, 'little rabbit' became my nick name for them.
"Nothing will happen to me, I promise." I plead. I looked at their faces and noticed none of them were buying it. "Please don't make me choose."
"We'll there is no way we are leaving you behind!" Butch said, starting to get a little bit angry with me, most likely for refusing to pick and then trying to stay behind.
"Then don't leave!" I yell back at him. I then freeze for a second along with the other people in the room. The thought never really came to me before now. I didn't have to choose which guy I wanted to stay with. I didn't have to leave my friends and everyone was happy, I liked this idea. This apparently had not seemed to cross the guys mind's either. They all looked at one another, as if trying to think of a down side to my plan.
"We…could," Boomer said slowly, still trying to figure out what staying her for the year meant.
"It's not like we are really needed to do anything." Butch explained further. He too looked like he didn't fully understand what was going on. "But if we are we can always fly, or if were needed ASAP, we could teleport." He added giving me a quick little wink. They then looked over at Brick with anticipation. I always thought it was funny how they look at him to make the decisions. They could both stay with me whether Brick did or not.
"That doesn't seem to be a very detailed plan," Brick said almost glumly. For a split second it almost looked like he was going to say 'no'. "But I guess the Rowdy Ruff Boys and the air to the Power Puff Girls legion can defeat anything that gets in our way, don't you think? But I like the plan. I mean it is always good for a change once in a while." I smiled widely at my fathers. I never would have thought that a random idea that slipped out of my mouth.
"YEA! WE GET TO STAY WITH OUR LITTLE RABBIT ALL YEAR NOW!" Boomer cried, jumping out of his chair and running over to me to give me a big hug. I just couldn't stop smiling while Boomer rocked me side to side in the hug.
"You act like such a little kid sometimes, Boomer." I laughed out. We then all started to laugh; no one would have thought the men in front of me were evil rulers.
I looked at all my fathers, giving each a few moments thought. Boomer, the youngest and the sweetest; the one I knew would always be by my side to help cheer me up when no one else can. Butch, the strong of body and mind; the one who will beat up anyone who treats me wrong and anyone who got in the way of that mission. Brick, the leader and the one with the brains; the one who will always have a plan ready to get me out of any kind of trouble I get myself into. The men known as the Rowdy Ruff Boys; the evil world dictators, my family's oldest enemies, my cruel masters, my teachers, my friends, my fathers. I love them all, and I knew they all loved me. I thought back to my feelings for them just last month. I hated them, and now I couldn't even stand to be apart from them for over a day.

Dinner time
Although Mitch had finally reveled his heart to Buttercup, and she showed she cared for him in the same fashion; they agreed not to call themselves a couple. Buttercup felt she couldn't concentrate on a relationship without Bunny by her side. "January 26!" Buttercup screamed, once she realized what day it was. Blossom and Bubbles were sitting at the table in the little make shift kitchen, while Buttercup paced back and forth. The family had already eaten and the Professor and Mrs. Utonium were out for their evening walk. "It's January 26! Its Bunny's birthday tomorrow. TOMORROW! Bunny's is most likely in a dark cold dungeon crying her little eyes out while those fucking shit for rulers are standing over her laughing."
"Buttercup," Blossom said. "You have to watch your langue."
"All the same," Bubbles said in her innocent, good natured voice that she always used. "Tomorrow will be Bunny's 15th birthday. What will we do?"
"We will go to with the plan to rescue her on the 2nd of February." Blossom said tiredly, picking up the newspaper and reading every detail on it for the first time that day. She usually read it in the morning but she just never got around to it. "I believe we made that clear, and had all agreed with it."
"What about her birthday?" Bubbles half winded. The room was quite for a long time. No one really knowing what to say or do, until Bubbles looked at Buttercup. Her green sister had stopped pacing and was now just staring out the window. "Buttercup, you okay? Usually with these kinds of conversations you would be trying to bite our heads off, trying to see her no matter what the cost." Buttercup snapped her head around to look at her sisters.
"I was just thinking…" Buttercup started slowly.
"Uh oh, this is either going to get us in trouble with someone, or blow up the entire world." Blossom said, trying to release some of the tension in the room.
"My plans don't always so that," Buttercup back at her, with a little laugh in her voice. "What I was going to say was if those kids from that little group they made, what was is called again?"
"I think it was the ASRA. Yea that was it." Bubbles said happily.
"Thanks, if the kids from the ASRA could get into the storage shed outside of the mansion before, couldn't they do it again?" Buttercup said sitting in one of the empty chairs at the dinner table.
"Most likely," Blossom said, not fully understanding where her sister was coming from. What had the silly teenagers have to do with anything? "What about it?"
"Well," Buttercup started. It seemed like she was still trying to think up the plan as she was talking. "How about we get them to deliver a birthday gift to her tonight? We'll get some treats, a card, and some other things she likes. They can slip in; place it on the front porch, then sneak out. If they get into trouble we can come in and save them."
Blossom looked quizitively at her sister, trying to come up with a list of pros and cons of her plan. From what she had in the first few seconds there was more cons than pros. On the other hand, Bubbles had the biggest smile on her face, and was almost jumping out of her chair in excitement. "Yea, we should totally do it! We can get all her little friends to sigh it and I can make those apple cookies she loves so much!" Bubbles chirped.
"Well, I don't see why not." Blossom said, ignoring what her mind told her and going with her gut.
"Yea!" Bubbles cheered before she ran into the kitchen, ready to make cookies.
"I'm going to go see Mitch. Maybe he will know where I can start looking for Blaze. We don't have much time." Buttercup said as she grabbed her purple coat and walked out the door. She hadn't even gotten out of the door when Blossom called her back, and shoved a full page newspaper article in her face. Buttercup pushed it out a little to look at it, but then wished she hadn't. Her eyes grew wide as ultimate shock and fear came over her face.

SO there is chapter 9.
Now I just need two more reviews to beat my record.
Please review. It would make me happy.
