Buttercup: I gotta admit, it was actually pretty good
Me: Thanks BC, but it's not over yet, we have some loose ends to tight... enjoy :)
Buttercup's POV
It was Christmas, and I couldn't have been happier. Ace and his gang were taken to a heavily guarded prison, where I would be notified the moment he tried to escape. There was no way he would get out of that.
I felt like myself again. I didn't feel shy, or scared of anything. The night before, Butch and I had another dream of Bella. We decorated a Christmas tree together. Butch and I lifted Bella on our shoulders and let her put the star on top, like parents would for their child. She may not be with us, but she is in a way. She's like our child, and always will be, as long as she keeps visiting us.
My sisters and I woke the Professor in the morning like little kids on Christmas morning. We ate a delicious breakfast, made by Bubbles, as a family. While we ate, a car pulled up in the house next door, and Robin ran out.
"Robin!" Bubbles shouted. Robin walked right into our house, and Bubbles was the first to greet her with a hug. Blossom and I stood from our seats and did the same. We didn't really care why she was back early, we were just happy she was back.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" four voices sounded from behind us. The Boys, including Mitch, were standing in the doorway of our kitchen wearing Santa hats. Bubbles practically jumped into Boomer's arms while giggling uncontrolably, Blossom kissed Brick on the cheek, and Robin gave Mitch a romantic hug. Butch pulled me into the living room while the others started to talk.
"Merry Christmas, Flo-… uh… Bab- no… Resses', no" It took me a minute to realize what he was doing. I shushed him in the middle of his mumbling.
"Butch! You don't have to change your nickname for me just because Ace used it. He can't hurt me anymore. Besides, I really like that name" I said. He smiled and held something over our head. I looked up to see mistletoe… or what was supposed to be mistletoe.
"Butch, that is a piece of our Christmas tree, not mistletoe" I said pointing at the poorly broken off branch. He chuckled and lowered his arm.
"Well, I don't know where the heck to get that stuff!" I rolled my eyes, and brought his head down to mine in a kiss. I felt his smile against my lips, which made me smile. It had been a while since I got a kiss that wasn't forced, and it felt great. Butch held me close to him, but he was gentle. After our kiss, I looked into his forest green eyes and said something I realized just then.
"I love you Butch. I mean, I really freaking love you!" I said.
"I love you too, Flower" he said back. He smiled a genuine smile, and just hugged me tightly. That's one thing what I loved about him, he knew how to keep a moment sweet. He didn't want me for the same reasons Ace did, he respected me and all other girls he knew.
When we pulled away, I smiled mischievously, and ran for the stereo in the room. Everyone, including the Professor, walked in by then.
"BC, what are you doing?" Blossom asked. I ignored her, and let the stereo blast Christmas songs throughout the room. I grabbed Boomer's wrists and made him dance, and soon everyone else was dancing to the music. I spun around with the Professor, and jumped around like an idiot with Brick.
I took a few steps back and admired my 'work'. Everyone was dancing and laughing, having fun. Butch walked to my side and watched with me.
"You sure do know how to get a party going. We missed that." He said sweetly. He took my hands, and we started dancing. I laughed out loud as he spun me in circles.
I was as happy as could be, and I would never let myself cry about Ace again. He was gone, out of my life, and I wouldn't let him ruin this moment for me. I was with Butch, my family and friends, and in a way I still had Bella. Ace was nothing to me. Nothing but my least favorite name.
