Chapter XI

Tough Love

6:10pm (Townsville's Skate Park)

I was late…true I knew I was going to be late because of Bubbles's and Boomer's loving moment knocked me into a spiral; but still I was late. I wanted to be there closer to a time where I could see who Buttercup's mystery guy was since she was all over the place with him in the skate park and I knew judging by the time people from gangs, skate freaks, and other people that would make me faint just by them came near me were there. True I could handle myself, but still I am a 17 year old young woman that boys would love to chew on. I sighed, Hopefully I won't stand out too much. I landed near the skating entrance and already saw Buttercup tearing it up on the ramps as she would say and I couldn't help, but to smile. I'm glad she's having fun…now I wonder where lover boy is?

"Yo, Butters you ready to take me on?" shouted a boy with black hair who had a dark tan on him. He was wearing ripped up jeans with a chain hang out of it, a white short sleeved shirt with the words 'Up Yours!' on it, a black vest, and old Vans. He was also holding a blue and green skateboard.

"You know it Joe you little hoe!" laughed Buttercup while kicking her light green skateboard with dark green stars on it. I could finally see that Buttercup was wearing her tight green shinny jeans, a black, short sleeved shirt with a light green star spray painted on it, and a light green flat cap.

"Oh, that's mean girl…I thought we were cool?" the boy named Joe said while snaking an arm around her shoulders pulling her into him.

"You know we are idiot, but it just too hard not to say that." she grinned while lightly punching him then hugging him around the waist.

So, this must be the mystery guy…well, he fits the bad boy act and they seem close, so he will do; as long as it wasn't Butch than the world is right.

"So, let's go Butters, people got money on us."

"Oh, they do," she smirked while they got a high ramp to skate. "then they are going to be sad when you lost."

"Fat chance."

"Alright, you two ready?" said a girl with green hair while blowing a bubble. "Good, let's hit it!"

"I'm first!" shouted Joe while skating down the ramp.

"No fair, hoe!" laughed Buttercup while waiting on the top. Joe was pulling out skateboarding moves I didn't know the names of, but to say they did look interesting. Everyone was shouting for more and cheering for him to beat Butters- I mean Buttercup. He got back on the top and smirked at her as she just shooked her head with disappointed. "It that all! If I knew you were going to use baby moves like that I would have betted on myself."

"Ooh, snap!"

"Get it girl!"

"Oh really," he said while pushing her close to the ramp. "let's see what you got."

"Gladly." she said while grabbing her board and going down the ramp. I got to say if I knew any of these moves I could tell Buttercup was pulling out the best moves out there. Everyone who was cheering for Joe was now cheering for Buttercup and the skaters who didn't cheer were cheering now. When she finally finished she land on the top and kicked her board up as she placed it on her left shoulder. "Who's the hoe again? Oh, you are!"

"Yeah, yeah you won this round Butters." said Joe while high fiving her and everyone who was here was groaning or shouting.

Probably because they lost their bets. I feel somewhat bad for them since they should have known to bet on Butters- I mean Buttercup. Great, hopefully I won't be saying that or she will know I was spying on her.

"Good thing I put all my money on Butterfly or I would have lost it all."

I know that voice and I know that nickname Buttercup hates…Butch.

And there he was wearing baggy, black pants, a green shirt with a black smile face printed on it, green and white Jordans with his green skateboard that had orange skulls on it. Buttercup was looking hard at him and I knew they were going to throw down some. "Butcher, you made it!" smirked Joe while fist bumping Butch.

"Yo, dude saw you got your ass kicked by Butterfly over here."

"Yeah, she whooped me good."

So, Buttercup's boyfriend and Butch are friends? That just makes everything complicated for Buttercup.

"So, Butterfly aren't you going to give me a greeting?" he smirked while getting closer to her.

"Ooh, I'll give you a greeting alright." she said while grabbing his shirt and then…she pulled him down for a kiss!

Hold on! Back up! I didn't not see that! I stared while rubbing my eyes like crazy. Yup, my hard-headed sister was kissing Butch of the Rowdyruff Boys! What just happened? I know the book say her boyfriend was going to be late and..and it said that she would kiss him, but it wasn't suppose to be Butch. I panicked while turning away from the scene.

"Why are you late, idiot?" asked Buttercup while letting him go.

"Well, actually I can right on time as you guys were skating; so I was here, but you didn't see me."

"Well, caught you green beans later, I got to see my girl DeeDee." Joe waved while heading to the girl who started the challenge.

"See you later, Joe you little hoe!' shouted Buttercup while Joe flicked her off from behind.

"He's going to get you one day." smiled Butch while wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"Aah, he knows I'm playing besides people like it. So, want to skate a bit before you take me to dinner?"

"You know it, but can my little Butterfly really keep up with me?" he laughed while placing his board down and skating a bit away.

"Oh, you know when I'm using my full power I will always win, Butch." she smirked while placing her board down and skating next to him.

I'm more confusing than when I stole those clubs for the Professor. I sighed while looking at them and dodging people from looking at me. They were the never ever couple you would see and here they are kissing and skating like them been doing this all their lives.

"Butch! Don't touch my ass!" hissed Buttercup while skating after him.

"Haha, you know you love it."

Maybe this relationship won't last long.

"S-Shut up, idiot!" she blushed.

Wait, Buttercup is blushing at Butch of all people! I guess I have seen everything when I see Buttercup blushing at him.

7:15pm (At Park…again)

"Hey! I thought you were taking me somewhere to eat?" stared Buttercup while they walked in another path opposite way where Boomer's and Bubbles's place was…I mean just Boomer's place since Bubbles only been there once.

"We are almost there, just wait a bit more."

"No, I want to know now, so I'm not moving from this spot." she pouted stopping right in her tracks.

That's Buttercup for you; but I'm glad she slowing him down from whatever he is planning to do next. I said while hiding in a tree just a few rows away from them.

"Stubborn like a mule." sighed Butch while fingering his hand through his spiky hair. "Guess I have no other choose."

"You are going to tell me where we are going?"

"No," he said while she stuck her curled tongue at him. "I'm going to have to carry you there." he smirked while picking her up and placing her on his shoulders.

"Aah, Butch this is not fair! Put me down you little snail!" she giggled while hitting him, but I could tell it wasn't really hard.

"Oh, calling me by what I was made of huh, spice girl?" he chuckled along with her while reaching up to her. "Guess I'll just get some more laughs out of you."

"No, Butch stop hahaha! You know I-I'm t-ticklish hehee! Stop! Hahahahehee!" she laughed while Butch tickled her silly as they were making their way off the path of the park.

Buttercup, stop laughing and see where he is taking you!

"Alright, we are here." he said while placing her down and she gasped. I looked at the scene and I gasped in silence too. It was probably just as nice as Boomer's place, but instead of a pond it was a river that started off as a waterfall and their were fewer trees that I bet if it was sunny it would have had nice lighting.

"Now, how did you have time to find this place?"

"After Blossom kicked me here cause I was teasing you about you wearing a pink skirt." he laughed while I saw a blush run across Buttercup's face again.

Why do I keep hitting people into nice, romance places like this every time? I hissed while mentally kicking myself in the butt for giving those boys a place to charm my sisters.

"Well, I hope she left a mark cause that was a horrible skirt."

"I know. So, are you hungry?"

"Yes, but where's the food?"

"I thought we could have a nice picnic together, would that make you happy." he said while standing right by her and holding the basket out to her right side.

"Y-You didn't have to do that." she said while turning her head away probably hiding another blush.

"But, I wanted to my Butterfly." Butch whispered into her ear and I'm telling you I could feel the chill running up my spine.

"L-Let's eat!" she said while taking the basket and Butch shrugged while landing down the blanket. "Man, this is good!"

"Yeah, me and Boomer have out done ourselves."

"I'm still surprise you guys learned how to cook just cause Mojo was being so lazy."

"Well, Brick is the real good one at cooking especially desserts."

"Maybe I'll get to try it when Blossom and him start dating."

Why do you guys keep bring that up!

"Those two are just stubborn probably just as bad as you."

"Hey!" pouted Buttercup while he just laughed. "You are probably right Blossom is a tough nut to crack and I should know."

"Haha…hey you got some pudding on your face."

"Where?" asked Buttercup while trying to see where the pudding was that was on her left cheek.

"Here," Butch said while licking it off of her cheek. "I got it."

"Idiot you could have just used a napkin." blushed Buttercup for more than I ever seen here blush in my life.

"Well, that wouldn't be any fun now would it?" he smirked while leaning against his hand.

"Shut up and eat." she said while putting her spoonful of chocolate pudding to his mouth. And that how it stayed for like an hour with them talking, laughing, eating, and looking like a couple.

No way, Buttercup wouldn't like Butch the pervert of the boys…but, Bubbles does like Boomer…why aren't they telling me anything? I looked over to them and saw they were looking at the star constellations which it kind of surprise to me that they knew them.

"Hey, look it Aries that mine and my bros. sign."

"And there's Scorpio mine and my sisters sign." Buttercup pointed then she sighed softly which didn't go unnoticed, but Butch and me.

"What's the matter?"

"I would start to head back it's about eight thirty-eight pm, Blossom."

"But, I want to hear what's wrong." I whispered to the book, but I knew it was right. Bubbles was going to expect me at 8:42pm and I didn't want her to think Boomer and her had anymore time together like what I was think. I packed up my stuff and floated to my house to only hear and see one last thing.

"Aah, nothing I'll tell you some other time."

"Or you will tell me when we go, I hate see you struggle with inner problems."

"Thanks, Butch." Buttercup smiled while pulling Butch into a heat kiss and I quickly turned away from it as I flew even faster to home probably creating a nice breeze for them.

8:42pm (Home)

"Hey, Bubbles! I'm home!" I shouted looking at the clock to see I made it on the time I texted her, I was going to be.

"I will be right down!" she shouted while I heard a bit of noise and I knew already that Boomer hadn't left yet from the book.

Those two can be so naïve at time. I sighed while heading into the kitchen to grab an apple while Bubbles dealt with her blue boy.

"Hey, Blossom glad to see you home." she smiled looking like she cleaned up in her pjs and I could see a bit of disappoint swimming through her eyes.

"Did you fall asleep and get tangled up in your sheets again?" I said helping her covering her up, but I couldn't figure out why.

"Yeah, silly me." she giggled.

"Hey, Bubbles want to watch a movie when Buttercup gets back?"

"Sure! I'll start making the snacks."

"Alright I'm going to put my stuff away and hopefully Buttercup will be coming through that door to help pick a movie." I said while she nodded and I headed upstairs keeping my eyes away from Bubbles's room just in case. I placed down my stuff and started undress into my pjs. I smelled the popcorn, ice cream, salty pretzels, and any other junk food coming into my room as I had to giggle under my breath I then heard the door close and I knew Buttercup was home.

"Yo, Blossom!" she shouted while passing my room probably going into her room to change.

"Hey, Buttercup!" I yelled back then exited my door not before setting my alarm clock and taking my phone downstairs just in case we fell asleep.

"So, which movie should we watch?" I asked while looking at the DVDs when both my little sisters got into the room.

"The '101 Dalmatians'!"

"No way! 'The Wolfman'!"

"Nooo, that's going to be scary!"

"Crybaby!"

"How about we watch 'Scary Movie'? The comedy about scary movies."

"That's perfect." grinned Buttercup.

"I can live with that." smiled Bubbles remembering watching one of them and laughing all throughout it.

"Ok, let's begin." I said while playing the movie.

11:31pm

We ended up watching 'Scary Movie 2' and now they have falling asleep on my shoulders while I was still half awake. I sighed and remembered I wasn't really paying any attention to the movie because my mind was filled with questions. I turned off the movie and put Bubbles in her room then did the same with Buttercup. I yawned and got into my bed as I noticed that 3 questions keep playing back in my head. Does Brick know about his brothers and my sisters? Are they really in love or is this some trick? And the most important 1 I hated was…Why didn't they tell me about it?
