Chapter Ten:
"OMG Buttercup! That is a great song!" Bubbles cried out in excitement after I made them listen to the song I was going to sing.
I smiled and rubbed the back of my neck nervously. "Thanks Bubs, I-I thought so too."
Blossom put her hand son her hips and smiled. "You did pick a good song Butts. It's ironic too since you had that chemical explode in your face." (A/N This is a hint to what song it is.)
"Ha ha, very funny Blossom."
She smiled wider.
"I hope Robyn doesn't hate me." I mumbled.
Bubbles sighed. "Why would she hate you?"
"Because she told me that she liked Butch…What if she thinks I'm trying to steal him or something?"
To my surprise, Blossom laughed. "Geez Buttercup."
"What?" I demanded.
"Butch has been yours ever since we were five! If anything Robyn is stealing him away from you…Actually, not even that because Butch doesn't like Robyn…Not as a girlfriend anyway."
I sighed. "I just feel bad okay? Robyn's a nice girl and I don't want her to hate me. We may not be best friends anymore but I still consider her my buddy…"
Bubbles nodded. "We understand Buttercup we really do. But you and Butch make such a good couple! UGH! You guys make me so mad sometimes!"
I was taken aback. "What? Why?"
"Because you guys love each other so much yet you guys are too stubborn to admit it!"
I groaned. "Whatever."
Bubbles giggled. "You know I'm right."
I rolled my eyes.
"Hey Butts?" Blossom asked.
"What's up?" I replied.
"How are you going to do your hair for the party?"
I bit my lip. "I was actually thinking about leaving it down."
Bubbles squealed. "Really?"
I sighed. "Yes Bubbles."
"Yay! Your hair is gorgeous Buttercup! People are going to lovey our dark wavy locks!"
I smiled and blushed. "Thanks. That means a lot to me for some reason…"
Bubbles smiled back. "No problem."
"Kay girls, we better practice the song now. I don't want to mess up on stage." Blossom said.
Bubbles and I nodded. "Alright."
Blossom smirked. "I wanna be so good that we explode with awesomeness. Kind of like that chemical eh Buttercup?" (A/N Another hint)
I groaned. "Maybe I should pick a new song!"
"NO!" Bubbles shouted. "It fits your situation so well!"
"Which one? The one with Butch or the one where the chemical exploded in my face?" I asked sarcastically.
"Both!" Blossom and Bubbles answered at the same time.
I groaned. "Whatever! Let's just play the song!"
Blossom and Bubbles laughed as we made our way to the music room.
*Butch's POV*
"Hey guys." Boomer greeted us when he walked through the door.
"Hey." Brick and I mumbled while still looking at the television.
"How long have you guys been gaming?"
"Ever since you left." I replied.
"You took breaks right?"
Brick and I shook our heads and answered at the same time.
"No, not one."
"But I've been gone for four hours!" he shouted.
Brick and I just shrugged.
He sighed. "Whatever."
H walked into the kitchen, took a rootbeer from the fridge and began drinking it.
"Hey guys?" He asked.
"What?" We replied without looking away from the television screen.
"Are you guys going to Robyn's party?"
"Yeah." Brick answered.
I scoffed. "No."
Suddenly, Brick dropped his game controller and turned to me.
"What?" He demanded and looked completely surprised.
"Uh…I'm not going…?" I replied having it sound like a question.
"But you have to!" Boomer shouted from the kitchen.
I sighed and put my controller down. "Why?"
"Well, why do you not wanna go?" Brick asked.
"Because Robyn likes me…"
Boomer laughed. "Then tell her you belong to Buttercup!"
"It's not that easy!"
"Yes it is; you just like making this harder than they need to be."
"But what if she goes all extreme and hates Buttercup and I?"
Brick shook his head. "She probably won't. Robyn's not insane, she'll understand."
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Plus," Boomer said. "You have to go, the puffs are going."
I shrugged. "So?"
"They're performing there too."
"Really?"
"Mmhmm…And your girlfriend's singing."
"Buttercup?"
He chuckled and nodded. "Yes Buttercup."
I shook my head. "That's impossible she doesn't even sing."
This time Brick chuckled. "Well, she does now. You better go for moral support, if you didn't could you imagine how bad of a boyfriend you'd be?"
"We're not even dating." I snapped.
Brick smirked mischievously. "Not yet you're not."
I sighed. "So what song is she singing?"
Boomer shrugged. "We don't know. Bubbles just told me that she was going to sing one song because Robyn asked her to."
I nodded. "I see."
"Yeah," Brick said. "So now you have to go."
I groaned. "But I don't have good experience at parties!"
"Oh well! You are going and watching your little Greenbean sing!"
I sighed defeated. "Okay, I'm only going to watch the puffs perform…But when they're done could I please leave?"
They sighed and nodded.
"Fine." Boomer replied. "Once they're done performing you can leave."
*Ace's POV*
I was watching TV but I wasn't paying attention to what was going on, I didn't even know what I was watching! I was sitting in the living room with Arturo, Big Billy, Snake, and Gruber. I guess we were watching a funny show because once in a while I would get startled by the guys laughing, I would jump then laugh nervously along with them. I guess I looked worried though because suddenly I heard Arturo ask:
"Are you okay Boss?"
"Uh…" I hesitated. "Yeah…I'm fine." I finally answered.
He narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure? You look like you have a lot on your mind."
I shook my head and answered too quickly. "I'm fine…I'm going to go to my room, knock if you need anything."
The house we lived in was small and it was no longer in the dump like it used to be. I mean, it was still a bit shabby but at least we got rid of the smell. We found a house that could fit all of us so we could have our own room.
I went in my room, shut the door, and locked it. I sat on my bed and started thinking, but eventually the silence got to me so I popped in an Eminem CD in my CD player. I had to be honest I couldn't stop thinking about Princess. I don't know why I was so worried about her all of a sudden, there was a time when I didn't care about her at all…But now…Now I just couldn't stop.
I groaned. "Damn it!" I growled through my teeth.
Why was I so damn worried about her? She's fine, she's probably at home resting and her dad's taking care of her…
I sighed, and kept repeating that over and over in my head trying to convince myself that she was okay but I knew, I knew that she wasn't okay.
I couldn't take it anymore; I was going to go look for her.
I got up and walked out of my room. I was about to open the front door when I heard Big Billy speak.
"Where are you going Boss?"
I sighed and didn't turn to face them. "I-Uh…I'll be back you guys I have to go get the milk…The one we have in the fridge isn't liquid anymore…It's solid…?" I didn't wait for them to reply; I opened the door, got in my car and drove to the Morebuck's Mansion.
I drove in silence and then stopped in front of the huge building.
I took a deep breath, got out of my car and walked up to the front door.
I cleared my throat and knocked loudly three times.
I waited nervously. Suddenly, I hear the door knob jiggle, the door opened revealing Princess' dad. He was wearing green pyjama bottoms with little dollar signs on them, a white bathrobe, and he had a cigar in his mouth.
"What may I do for you?" He said in a deep and hoarse voice.
I cleared my throat again. "I was wondering if your daughter was home?" I asked in the most polite voice I could manage.
He snorted which surprised me.
"Sir?" I asked; I've never been this polite in my life.
He laughed humourlessly. "I kicked Princess out!"
My jaw dropped and my heart stopped. "What?" I almost shouted.
"I kicked Princess out." He replied no sign of regret in his voice.
"W-why? Where did she go?"
He sighed and rolled his eyes. "I didn't want to put up with her anymore. She grew up to be a selfish little slut. I don't want to be responsible for that."
If he didn't have enough money to sue me, I would've beaten him up right then and there…But he had more than enough money so I punched him instead.
"What was that for?!" He shouted at me.
"Where is she?!" I grabbed him by the collar.
He laughed, his breath smelled like cigars. "You think you scare me?"
He pushed me off.
"Where is she?" I repeated.
He shrugged. "How should I know? She left when she got bailed out of jail."
My heart was beating fast and my face was turning red with anger.
"Look buddy," Princess' dad said to me. "I wouldn't go out looking for her, she isn't worth it."
"F-k you!" I growled at him and stomped off his porch.
I got in my car and slammed the door shut. I turned on the ignition and stepped on the gas.
"Princess," I whispered to myself. "Where the hell are you?"
*Princess' POV*
I woke up in the cardboard box this morning with my stomach grumbling louder than it ever has…Stupid stomach, stupid box, stupid everything! I began to cry. I couldn't do this anymore. I had nothing, what was I supposed to do with my life now? I mean, sure I could help Mojo and Him defeat the Powerpuffs and the Rowdyruffs but what about my life after? Mojo and Him hate my guts, they're not going to let me stick around with them forever, and well, I didn't really want to either…so what was I supposed to do?
Suddenly, my mind flashed with images of Ace. I groaned and tried to shake them out; they would leave for about thirty seconds but then magically would find their way back.
I groaned again when my stomach growled at me. What was I supposed to eat now? I sighed and got up from my cardboard box, maybe I could find some way to make money? I walked around and found a small little Styrofoam cup lying on the ground, I picked it up and walked around some more and found an old black permanent marker.
I actually felt lucky at the moment; I grabbed my marker and drew a dollar sign on the front.
I dropped the sharpie and went to sit back down on my cardboard box. I made myself comfortable and then held out my hand with the cup. I think it took me an hour to finally collect two dollars. But eventually, I collected five dollars and I happily took my change and skipped to a nearby convenience store to buy a chocolate bar or something…I didn't want to spend all my money at once.
I ended up buying a small granola bar since that was all I could really afford; I had to save some money for supper you know…
After I was done eating my granola bar, I sat back down in my box and more images of Ace fell in my mind. What if I told him the truth? What if I told him everything that Mojo and Him are planning to do? What if I leave Mojo and Him in the jail and never go back for them? I sighed and then a few more tears escaped my eyes.
I couldn't do it. If Mojo and Him were to find out that I had told Ace about our actual plans then they would kill me, if I left them in jail they would find their way out and kill me…But what was the point? It's not like I had much to live for anyway…But, but I didn't want to leave this world like this!
I groaned. What was I supposed to do?!
*Buttercup's POV*
It was supper time and of course the Rowdyruffs came over to eat our food again. This time we were having stake and mash potatoes while The Professor went over what his ideas were for giving Brick his powers back.
"I was thinking that maybe if I made a laser with the Chemical Z and then shot it at Brick, it would give him his powers back." The Professor told us.
"But wouldn't that hurt him?" Blossom asked.
"That's one thing that worries me Blossom." The Professor replied. "I don't know."
"Well, I'm willing to try it." Brick said.
"But what if you get hurt Brick?" Blossom snapped. "I wouldn't be able to live with myself."
I rolled my eyes. She needs to stop over reacting.
"Well Brick, we can't really try it at the moment because I haven't built the laser yet."
"Well Professor, I think you should. I really want my powers back; they're part of me…Please?" Brick looked like a little boy again begging his mom for a toy.
The Professor sighed. "Oh, all right Brick I'll make it, but I don't know-"
"Yes! Thank you so much Professor!" Brick shouted in excitement before The Professor could finish his sentence.
The Professor couldn't help but smile. "You're welcome Brick but it could really harm you."
"What's the worst that could happen?"
"Uh…Well…" The Professor bit his lip nervously. "The worst that could happen is that you die…If everything goes well then, you get your powers back but you might end up as sore as Buttercup was."
I groaned remembering how annoying that was.
Everyone ignored me.
Brick nodded. "Okay, it's a risk I'm willing to take."
Blossom gasped but didn't say anything to stop Brick.
The Professor nodded. "Alright Brick. I will get started on the laser right after I'm done my supper."
Suddenly everything went silent and the colour on Blossom's face was flushed away leaving her looking extremely pale.
I poked her arm. "Are you okay?"
She slowly turned her head toward me, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
I held my breath and let it out when she nodded.
"Yes…I'm fine…"
I nodded and felt a bit freaked out. "Okay then…"
I saw that Brick was looking down at his feet.
He sighed. "I'm sorry Buttercup but I feel like I really have to do this."
I could tell Blossom was trying hard to control herself. "I know Brick I know…I just don't want you dead you know?" She didn't look up at Brick when she said this; she stared down at her plate.
Brick nodded. "I know, but I need to try."
She looked up at him. "Just don't die or I'll bring you back to life and kill you again myself."
Brick laughed. "Don't worry Pinkie I won't die."
She smiled slightly. "Thanks Brick."
I went back to eating more of my mashed potatoes when I felt someone poke my arm, I turned and saw it was Butch.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I heard you're singing at Robyn's party?"
I nodded. "You heard correct."
He smiled. "I didn't know you could sing."
I couldn't help but smile back. "I have been singing ever since I was five years old…Just not in front of you."
He laughed. "Yeah obviously."
I blushed.
"So what made you want to do it?"
"Actually, I didn't want to do it. Robyn asked me and I really didn't want to but Blossom wanted me to…I'm doing it for her."
He nodded. "I see."
"Yep." I said popping the p.
"So what song are you singing?"
I shrugged. "A song."
"A song?"
"Yep, a song. I'm not telling you what it is, you're gonna have to wait until Robyn's party to hear it."
He chuckled. "Well Greenbean, I can't wait to hear it."
I smiled. "I can't wait until you hear it either…"
"Is it a good song?"
"Trust me, it's as awesome as combining two chemicals and making them explode."
Okay, that's it for now! Please tell me what you think! This story is coming to a close! I'll update soon maybe tomorrow, maybe in two days, maybe next week who knows?! Lol anywayz, I'll see you soon Bye!
