The Powerpuff Girls were all sitting on their bed looking out the window. They had been waiting for Becca to return for a day. They thought that someone with superpowers would at least be seen flying through the town or something, but they could never see her.
Buttercup sighed for the twelfth time. "This is stupid, there's no way she's coming back."
Blossom looked at her. "Why wouldn't she?"
"She has no reason to, she already met us."
"Yeah but don't you think she would like to visit us?"
"That depends. If she's a fan then maybe, but I don't think she is."
"Why not?" Bubbles entered the conversation.
"Because she has powers of her own, why would she be fans of people who can do the same things she can?"
Blossom thought for a moment. Buttercup had a point; there was a good chance that Becca wasn't a fan of them.
Suddenly they heard a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" Bubbles rushed to the door and opened it. She was a little surprised to see Boomer. "Boomer?"
"H-hey Bubbles…" He looked nervous, and He wasn't looking at her.
"Hey, is something wrong?"
"No…I just wanted to ask you something."
"Ok what is it?"
Boomer struggled to get the words to come out of his mouth. It was like the hardest thing he'd ever done. "W-will you…g-go on a…date…with me?"
Bubbles blushed at the question he just asked her. "Sure Boomer…"
Boomer immediately looked at her. "Why not?! I'm a cool guy! Can't you please just give me a… did you say yes?"
Bubbles nodded.
"Wow…ok… I'll pick you up tonight at 7:00."
She nodded again.
"Cool… see ya Bubbles." He turned around and flew up into the air. When he looked back he could see Bubbles waving to him. He waved back and then dashed off, leaving behind a blue trail. 'Wow,' He thought. 'I've got a date. I'm not going to go to hell. Brick's going to love to hear about this.' He was almost home when he saw a yellow light heading straight for him. He was barely able to dodge it. "What the heck is that?!"
The light kept going until it was out of sight.
Boomer looked in the direction it went for a while then just shrugged and continued heading home.
Bubbles flew back up to her room to tell her sisters the good news. "Guess what!!!"
Blossom and Buttercup looked at each other.
"You lost your mind?" Buttercup teased.
"No! I have a date!"
"With who?" Blossom asked.
"Boomer."
"BOOMER!?!?!" Buttercup yelled.
"How did you get a date with Boomer?" Blossom asked.
"He came here and asked me out."
Blossom thought about it for a while. "Bubbles, you can't go."
Bubbles' smile quickly faded and was replaced with a shocked expression. "…W-what?"
"You can't go on a date with Boomer."
Bubbles could already feel the tears welling up in her eyes. "Why not?"
"He's a Rowdyruff Boy, it's just not right." Blossom felt like dating a Rowdyruff Boy was against the Powerpuff rules. They were villains, even though they hadn't done anything that bad in a while. They were actually trying to be nice to her sisters and her. Brick even sang her a song, but even though it was sweet that didn't mean it was ok to become their friends and date them.
Bubbles was about to cry. "But…"
"My decision is made."
She knew that at that she couldn't change her sister's mind, so she burst into tears and flew downstairs.
Buttercup was smiling. "Good for you Blossom, you told her that she couldn't date that jerk."
Blossom didn't respond, she just sat on the bed and thought about what she had done.
Buttercup started looking out the window. There wasn't anything unusual going on in Townsville. She kept looking until a yellow light broke through the window at almost light speed and knocked her down.
Blossom quickly got prepared to fight what ever it was that had broken into their house. When the light diminished, she saw a familiar face.
"Hello Blossom."
Blossom's eyes had widened. It was Becca. She had returned.
Buttercup stood up and yelled. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!?! YOU CANT JUST BURST THROUGH OUR WINDOW LIKE THAT!!!!"
Becca turned to her. "Don't you do it all the time?"
Buttercup just stared at her. She was right, she did do a lot when she had to get to Townsville quickly and didn't have time to open it.
"What are you doing here Becca?" Blossom asked.
"I came to see you."
"Oh." 'I better stay on my guard, I don't know whether she's a new villain or not.'
"Where's Bubbles?" She asked.
Buttercup answered before Blossom could. "We told her she couldn't date that idiot Boomer so she flew downstairs crying."
Becca looked at her, confused. "Why can't she date him?"
"Because he's a villain." Blossom said.
"No… I talked to him and his brothers yesterday, and there's no way he's a villain. If he does anything bad it's because his brothers tell him to."
"No it's because he likes to do bad things." 'So she did talk to the Rowdyruff Boys. That just makes me more suspicious.'
"Dating those boys is a mistake." Buttercup said.
"Boomer's a nice guy." Becca said.
"Yeah right." Buttercup said. "If he's nice then why does he terrorize the town?"
Becca was about to say something but she didn't, instead she walked to the door. "You two can be so childish. I don't know how you girls became so popular. Bubbles is the only one that thinks."
Blossom and Buttercup gasped as Becca walked out the door. She made her way down the stairs and quickly spotted Bubbles crying on the couch. "Hey Bubbles."
She looked up at her then got back to crying.
"There's no reason to cry, everything's going to be ok."
"No it's not! My sisters won't let me date Boomer!"
Becca sat next to her. "Well maybe it's for the best."
Bubbles looked at her with tears running down her cheeks. "It's not for the best. My sisters always tell e what I can and can't do just because they think I'm the weakest and the most likely to make a mistake." She leaned down and started crying on Becca's shoulder.
Becca patted her back. "It's ok Bubbles, I'm sure they'll do that less as you get older."
Bubbles just continued crying.
Becca thought about what it must be like to get bossed around by your two sisters. It was difficult and it made you feel like life was unfair, but then again it was unfair. Becca got a serious look on her face. "Bubbles, you're going on that date."
Bubbles stopped crying and looked at her. "I am?"
"Yes, you are."
"But what about my sisters?"
"Forget about them. They don't have the right to tell you what to do. If you want to go on the date then just go."
Bubbles agreed with her and nodded.
"Good."
"I'm gonna go get a new dress I can wear." Bubbles ran to the door, opened it, and flew off.
Becca smiled.
"What did you just do!?!?!"
She turned around and saw Blossom standing at the top of the stairs. "Oh…Blossom."
"Why did you tell Bubbles to go on that date?!"
Becca glared at her. "Because she has the right to! You can't tell her what she can and can't do!"
"When I don't things like this happen!!!"
"Boomer's a great person; the date will be just fine!"
"How do you know?! What if this is all part of some kind of plan to destroy us!!!"
"It isn't!!"
"And what if you're helping them with it!!"
"What?!?!?!"
"Why else would you want Bubbles to go on the date?!"
"…" Becca flew to Blossom and pushed her against the wall. "I'M NOT HELPING THE ROWDYRUFF BOYS WITH A PLAN!!!!!! THERE IS NO PLAN!!!!!! BOOMER JUST WANTS TO GO OUT WITH BUBBLES, AND IF YOU WERENT SO STUBBORN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT!!!!! YOU HAVE TO STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE OUT OF THE TREE OF YOU WHO HAS A BRAIN!!!! YOUR SISTERS CAN THINK FOR THEMSELVES!!!!!!"
Blossom didn't know what to say after that.
Becca released her and started walking to the door.
"Fine…"
She stopped.
"I'll let her go… but Buttercup and I will have to watch her the whole time."
Becca smiled and nodded.
At the Rowdyruff Boy's house…
"This is awesome!!!" Brick yelled. "Boomer finally got Bubbles to go on a date with him!"
"Yeah!" Boomer said, just as excited as Brick.
Butch was looking at them, jealous. He finally decided to just leave, and his brothers didn't even notice.
"Boomer you have to get ready."
"Um… how do I get ready?"
"Like this." Brick flew outside, got a rose, and came back. "Give this to her."
"Ok." He took it.
"And um… I guess that's it."
"Yay."
"Oh and me and Butch are going to be spying on you and Bubbles."
"Why?"
"So we'll know what happens."
"Oh."
Brick walked outside and said to himself. "This is gonna be awesome."
At 6:55…
"Bubbles, you're gonna be late." Blossom said.
"I know!" She was putting on her new dress.
"Why did you have to fall asleep before your date?"
"I don't know, I just needed a nap." She finished putting the dress on. "How do I look?"
"You look great."
"Thanks…Blossom can I ask you something?"
"Sure what is it?"
"On the date… how should I act."
Blossom smiled. She knew Bubbles was going to ask her for advice. "Well Bubbles you should just be yourself, that's what made him ask you out in the first place."
"Ok, thanks."
"You're welcome."
Buttercup came in. "its 6:59"
"I know." Bubbles flew downstairs and to the door. "Well… here I go." She opened it and saw Boomer. "Hi… you're early."
Boomer looked at his watch. "Only by one minute."
Bubbles giggled. "So where are we going to go?"
Boomer thought about it. He didn't really make a plan for where to go, luckily he got an idea. "Let's go watch the sunset."
"Ok!"
Boomer extended his hand and Bubbles grabbed it with hers, and they flew up and headed for the best place to watch the sunset.
Blossom and Buttercup were following them from below, while the Rowdyruff Boys were above them. The reds and greens didn't know their counterparts were there.
Boomer led Bubbles to the tallest building in Townsville, where he first appear after he came back from hell. They sat at the edge and talked while they watched the sunset.
"It looks so beautiful! Thank you for taking me here Boomer."
"You're welcome Bubbles."
"I'm having a great time with you."
Boomer smiled at her and she smiled back, then they both continued watching the sunset.
"Bubbles." Boomer looked at her.
"Yeah?" She looked at him.
He gave her a quick kiss on the lips, then looked away and blushed.
Bubbles also blushed, then she looked back at him. They stared into each others eyes and before they knew it, they kissed again only this time it was much longer.
Blossom couldn't help but smile at them.
Buttercup was disgusted.
Butch was jealous.
And Brick was happy.
After their kiss ended, Bubbles snuggled up to him and rested her head on his chest. "You know Boomer, this was the best night I've ever had."
Boomer wrapped his arms around her. "Mine too."
They stayed like that until the sun was finished setting, then they said goodbye to each other and shared one more kiss before flying home.
Bubbles now knew that she was in love with Boomer, and she planned on telling him the next day.
'This is great!' Boomer thought. 'The plan is working, but I wonder what Bubbles will feel like after I break up with her. Will she be sad? Of course she will.' He stopped and looked back at the building him and Bubbles were sitting on. 'She really loves me, and if I break up with her she'll feel terrible, but why should I care? This was the plan all along…but still… is what I'm doing really right?'
To be continued…
