Chapter 14
Just tried and wrote… then edited a few weeks later.
Eventually my friends got me to stop chasing Ken and he apologized. We were cool now. It was a short visit after that. The professor said he would help fix the RRBZ and we talked for a bit about how we had been for that past while. Ken told us about how he was doing and then the professor. The professor didn't say much because he was tired. Peach even told us a few stories. It was nice to reconnect with all of them. The boys played some soccer and even invited Ken to play. I of course played knowing I could beat all of them. But we made teams, Butch and I, and Boomer, Brick, and Ken on another team. It was a pretty interesting game, but of course Butch and I won. Pretty soon it was time for all of us to go home. We all went our separate ways from there.
As I was walking home I watched the day turn to night. It was just about dark when some kid on skateboard ran into me, knocking me on the ground.
"Hey kid! Watch where you're going!" I yelled standing up and pointing an accusing finger at him.
I then saw his face. He wasn't a kid; he was a teenager. I hadn't seen him in forever. He still had his shaggy brown hair and big brown eyes. He had grown a lot since I saw him last. He was a few inches taller than me. He looked good. He was tan and you could tell he worked out pretty often. His muscles weren't as big as Butch's but you could see them.
"Mitch?" I murmured
"Kaoru?" He said looking back at me.
"Oh my God it's you!" I said happily and gave him a hug.
"It's nice to see you too!" he said giving me a half hug.
"Why are you here?"
"My dad got another job transfer so we had to move, again."
"Are you going to be going to my school on Monday?"
"Tokyo High?"
"Yeah! It's so weird of me running into you!"
"Yeah I know! I was on my way home and I got kinda lost."
"Where you headed?"
"To here," he said handing me a slip of paper.
"I live in this apartment building too!" I said smiling.
"Ok, lets go then, cause I have to get home soon before my mom starts to worry," he said getting back up and picking up his skateboard.
We then walked back to the apartment building. We talked a little about ourselves, and how some things had changed and how some stayed the same. When we reached my apartment we said our good byes until Monday. I told my mom at dinner that I had seen my childhood friend and she was happy. Dai looked somewhat surprised and Shou didn't care at all because he didn't know him.
After dinner Dai came in my room again. I hoped he wasn't going to make a habit out of this.
"I remember Mitch, you two use to eat paste together," he laughed.
"Ya shut up! I was little!"
"That's what they all say, but anyway its kinda weird that Mitch just shows up right as you're about getting ready into a relationship," he said seriously.
"Is not. Mitch and I are just friends."
"Again, that's what they all say. But -"
"Dai, I'm not committed to Butch. But he knows I like him and I know he likes me. I don't know if I can trust him, but I'm trying. Mitch has nothing to do with this. I just happen to see him again after 10 years. I don't even like him like that," I said cutting him off.
"Ok, I'll take your word for this," he said and walked away.
I then sat down back at my desk and decided to get on chat because I felt like I needed to tell someone whom I just saw. To my luck every one was on.
Kaoru logged on (not gonna use screen names cause I don't feel like it so I'm just gonna use their names)
Blossom: Hey Kaoru
Bubbles: you don't usually get on chat with us at night
Kaoru: I know but I have something to tell you guys!
Brick: what could that be?
Kaoru: well you guys wouldn't know whom I was talking about cause you weren't created for a while…
Blossom: Whom did you see?
Kaoru: Mitch!
Blossom: you saw him! Where?
Bubbles: oh! I remember him! You two use to eat paste together *giggle*
Kaoru: ya I know… that was a long time ago though…
Butch: who is this Mitch guy?
Kaoru: one of my friends from like 10 years ago. Don't worry we're just friends.
Butch: ok
Kaoru: what?
Butch: nothing.
Kaoru: are you sure?
Butch: no
Kaoru: what then?
Butch: nothing
Kaoru: you're impossible!
Butch: ya ;)
(Maybe Butch is jealous… But why would he be jealous, he already has me… wow that sounds so weird to say coming from me. Butch never seemed like the jealous type before…)
Blossom: well is he coming to our school?
Kaoru: ya and he lives in my apartment building a few floors up
Bubbles: what does he look like?
Kaoru: the same except taller, tanner and, more muscle
Bubbles: I never understood that boy… you two always just sat together making trouble.
Butch logged off
Kaoru: Butch?
Brick: way to piss a guy off
Kaoru: what did I do?
Boomer: That was my room he went into… he has his own room… why mine?
Brick: he's just jealous
Blossom: I'm guessing you'd be jealous too if I connected with an old friend too?
Brick: hell ya! Especially if you described him like that!
Kaoru: oh
Boomer: I'm going to try and get him out of my room!
Bubbles: Kaoru just talk to him on Monday and explain it…
Kaoru: ok well I'm gonna go now…
Kaoru logged off
I wouldn't think of Butch being jealous. He has me… Do I need to prove it? What if Mitch likes me? He probably has a girlfriend… I hate this emotional part of me! Stupid girly emotions!
Short but that's what I came up with. Using Mitch from the original power puff girls. I don't know if he is actually in the PPGZ version but I'm putting him in.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the comments!
