"Blossom, you shouldn't-" Brick started to say, but she silenced him with a look and said, "I am a heroine, Brick. Protecting others is in my job description."
Bubbles joined her sister as did Buttercup. "Plan Alpha?" Buttercup asked with a smile.
"Alpha? No, why not plan Beta?" Bubbles argued.
"Why not both?" Blossom compromised. "Use the strong points of each plan while positioning yourselves in Alpha mode."
The two girls smiled. "Roger," Bubbles said while Buttercup retorted, "Whatever." The two flew off and Blossom glanced at the boys with a smile. "Now, you get to see how much those two have actually improved." With that said girl flew into position.
The Powerpuffs surrounded Him. "Oh? You three think you can defeat me with that little plan from when you were children?" Him asked.
Blossom smiled. "Nope, it's a different game."
The three flew up and joined hands, then started spinning at super speed while shooting their heat vision. Him was used to heat so wasn't affected too much, but then Blossom quickly used her ice breath which formed a type of solid barrier encasing Him's body. Quickly, before the hard structure could fall apart, the girls grabbed it and headed straight for the jail.
The ruffs followed them. Halfway there, Him broke free in a dramatic fashion, causing the girls to spiral uncontrollably. The ruffs caught them and shot energy balls at Him before he could escape. Bubbles closed her eyes in order to concentrate on building her energy to form water out of the air. When she opened her eyes, water started to form. She controlled the water to surround Him in a barrier, isolating his movements.
Once again, Blossom used ice breath to freeze Him, but he was surrounding himself in flames.
"What should we do?" Buttercup asked.
"We can't use short range attacks since Bubbles would have to make the barrier larger and drain her energy. If we all use our sonic scream that might put Him into unconsciousness," Blossom said.
"It's worth a shot," Brick said. They all nodded and used sonic scream except for Bubbles. Him's eyes widened and he put his claws over his ears in order to block the sound, but they all just amplified the sound. Him's eyes started to droop, and Blossom took that moment to use her ice breath. This time, Him didn't have the energy to melt the ice.
All of them grabbed the now frozen Him and hauled the body to the jail where he was put into a specialized cell.
The girls sighed with relief when they left the jail. Bubbles' knees started to buckle and she fell to the ground. "I need a nap," she said.
Blossom smiled at her and helped her up. "You used so much energy on that. You don't even have it perfected yet."
"I can't believe you can use water now," Boomer said as he stood by her.
"Yeah, well, I can use earth," Buttercup stated.
Butch looked at her. "No way! That's awesome!"
The green eyed girl looked down with a bit of pink on her cheeks. "It's not that great," she mumbled.
Brick took Blossom's hand and squeezed it. "So, what do you want to do now?"
"How about we try going on a date again? I think it won't be ruined this time by crazy villains," she said.
The red ruff smiled mischievously. "I'd like that."
Blossom took his hat and flew off. Brick took off after her without missing a beat.
5 years later
Blossom sat by the fountain on the college campus. She was graduating tomorrow and soon would be starting her career. Her sisters graduated two years ago with her help and Bubbles was married to Boomer a year later.
The wedding between Bubbles and Boomer was not extravagant in any sense of the word. It was small and simple. Blossom and Buttercup were the maids of honor while Butch and Brick were the best men. Boomer didn't know who to choose and knew both would fight the other for the position, so he asked both. They weren't happy about it at first, but they couldn't ruin the happy day, especially for their cute little sister. They know she would have been upset if the two had fought. And, when Bubbles was upset, it was a scary sight. She didn't cry as the ruffs soon found out. She let someone have it. Thanks to Buttercup, Bubbles became violent when upset or angry. It was scarier than Buttercup's anger. So, the wedding had gone on without a hitch.
A year ago, Butch finally got Buttercup to announce the two as an official couple and a day later had asked her to elope with him. Shockingly, she agreed, but only the professor, her sisters and her brothers-in-law knew about it. They would have a real wedding in a year.
Brick hadn't even brought up the subject of marriage which made Blossom a bit anxious. She wondered if he was starting to get bored with her, but banished the thought from her head whenever she saw him smiling at her adoringly. But… she still had her doubts, no matter how minor they were.
The redhead sighed. She heard someone walk towards her and glanced over to see Kenny, her partner in chemistry.
"What's with the face?" he asked sitting next to her.
"What face? This is my face," she replied.
Kenny smiled. "That worried face."
Blossom's face dropped as her gaze returned to the ground. "Brick."
"What do you have to worry about with him? The guy's in love with you. Anyone can see that."
"I know, but his brothers have already asked my sisters to marry them, but he hasn't even brought up the subject with me."
"Have a little more faith in him. I am certain he is bound to ask you sometime."
Blossom gave Kenny a small, uncertain smile. "Right."
Kenny returned her smile and left. As he walked away, he called a good friend. "You need to get moving, man. She's starting to worry," he said, then hung up.
The next day, Blossom graduated. She spent the day with her family, including her brothers-in-law along with Brick. In the evening, Brick took her out to a lake and onto a speed boat where they had picnic on the lake.
The last item was dessert. As Blossom took the covering off of the tray, her eyes widened. There on the small tray lay a ring with a small diamond in the middle and pink dolphins surrounding the diamond. It wasn't gaudy or ostentatious, but still beautiful and something Blossom loved.
"Is this what I think it is?" Blossom asked.
Brick smirked. "Of course. I only waited so long because I knew how much school was important to you. Now that you're finished, I am asking you to make a life-time commitment. Will you do me the honor of being your husband, your only love now and forever?"
Blossom flew over the tray and landed in Brick's lap. She wrapped her arms around him with a smile. "I thought you would never ask."
"So, is that a yes?"
Her smile grew. "Yes."
"Okay, just making sure." She laughed and then he kissed her gently with all the joy he held in his heart.

becomingemo: So, what did you think? I know it was complete fluff at the end...but I CAN'T HELP WRITING FLUFF! I'M ADDICTED TO FLUFF STORIES! lol ;)
MeliRockStarNinja: Well, you just read the last chapter! :'(
blossom2day: I freaking love your story! Can I marry it! lol Nobody better die, then I would be upset unless it was Him, then I wouldn't be. lol! So, sorry I missed the ceremony. I will review again when I am not too lazy to get online. ;)
ROCuevas: Thanks for the luck and I think this fight was pretty crappy since it only consisted a forth of the chapter, but hey, I am no good at describing superhuman fights. XD
Wow Me: Well...um, sorry for not updating sooner...um...I've been writing essays and haven't had any creative juice flowing...So sorry! and yes, I did keep a secret from the readers! ;)
BBsevolEAR: Thanks a bunch for reviewing like every chapter! :D I am sorry to say this is the last chapter. :'(
mariposa: Thank you so very much! :D
a/n: To all of you amazing readers and reviewers, Thank you for keeping up with this story! :D It really means so much. I know, I know, everyone says that, but hey it's the truth from me at least! Anywhoozle, there were quite a few reviews for ch. 9 if you didn't notice! So, thank you all.
I want you all to know this is the final chapter. I know that it's mainly fluff, but that's what I'm best at when it comes to writing. Sad stories aren't really my thing since I believe there should always be happy ending. I'm a pure fairy tale girl! XD But, I can write sad stories and some might come from me later on. If you have a request, I'd be glad to hear it and be a co-writer or a proof reader to make sure there are no mistakes. ;) I probably won't write another PPG story for awhile, but I think you all should check out blossom2day's Stolen Without A Trace if you want more PPG. It's really good so far.
Again, Thank you all! :D
Over and Out, Timewriter.
