Chapter 13

Buttercup's POV

'What should I do? I can't find Bell anywhere!'

I am searching for Bell or a while now, then I saw her with Blaine. I felt relieved. Now I can go around and have my own fun. I guess that I will finish my chocolate later too. I take out the box of chocolate. I taste the first one. Bitter! Just like what I want. (^_^)

I like bitter chocolate. I still can't believe that Bunny hate it so much. I take out the second piece, I was going to eat until I saw Butch and Bunny walking toward my direction. They saw me and wave me to come over.

"Bunny? Butch? This is just weird. What have you guys been up to?" I asked.

"I just rescue Butch from the fangirls," Bunny answers nonchalantly.

"Is that chocolate bitter?" Butch starts looking at my chocolate with interest.

"Yeah? Why?" I hold my chocolate defensively.

"I want some too." Butch was about to tackle me, I quickly dodge away from him.

"GET YOUR OWN CHOCOLATE!" I scream into his face.

"But… All of my chocolate is sweet." Butch looks at me, pouting.

He has to do better than that since it isn't working at all. It was a completely useless way to ask someone for chocolate. I continue eating the chocolate while Butch was drilling every piece that is in my mouth. I got annoyed seeing someone staring at me while I am eating.

"Will you stop looking at the chocolate?" I glared at him.

"I want one!" Butch looking at it likes a child looking at a prize candy.

I shake my head with a grin. I throw the chocolate in the air, read for it to land into my mouth. Butch has another idea instead. When the chocolate is falling, Butch went to grab it using his mouth instead. I was looking up to see his masculine face every close. I notice how tan his skin are from playing sports. When he part away from me, he looks satisfied and happy.

"The chocolate tastes great!" Butch just finished eating the chocolate.

I look back at my box of chocolate again to see that it doesn't have any left. I just notice that Butch took the last one.

"What is so great about bitter chocolate?" Bunny looks at us weird.

We started to debate about the taste of chocolate. It was like 2 against 1 along the way. I still didn't forget that Butch took the last one. I will get my revenge later.

Boomer's POV

Butch was having a huge grin on his face every time he sees me or Brick or Blaine. All three of us agree that Butch was acting very weird. Since from time to time he will start to giggle like a little girl, then later he will start jumping up and down.

I felt like I have seen this before. Something oddly familiar that happens before…

Memories of last year…

I finally finish eating all the chocolate that I receive from Valentine day. I think it took me about two months to finish it. I even have to exercise more too. principal HIM forces to exercise because all the Valentine chocolate piling up our mailbox or in front of the door. We are also responsible for finishing it too.

I went out for a jog, my last extreme jogging for a now until Valentine again. After all, those jogging I notice that I miss one chocolate box left. It was placed on the coffee table assigning to me. I look at it and sigh because it was my responsibility to finish it. I open the box and eat it.

The chocolate tastes…VERY BITTER!

I quickly spit it out. Then I can hear someone laughing. It was Butch. I should have known better. I throw the bitter chocolate at Butch it went into his mouth. Butch tastes it then swallow. I can see that Butch really like it.

I start throwing the chocolate at Butch. He catches using his mouth every piece. I was amazed since I tried to throw at him very bad. I show Butch that there wasn't any chocolate left. Butch looks disappointed.

Suddenly he starts to jump up and down, running around the house. He was knocking out some items out of the shelves. I have to dive a lot of time to catch it.

Brick and Bandit came in to see the situation. They just stand by the doorway looking at Butch monkeying around. Then they see me diving down the floor catching some of the fragile pieces. Brick and Bandit wait for a while. Then at one moment they both tackle Butch at the same time. Butch was pin down onto the ground, Butch was lying down on his stomach on the floor. His body was spread out. All three of us are sitting on top of his back. I think we stay like that for a whole hour.

Brick was the one who told us to get up from Butch. He knew when will Butch calm down. Then I have to explain to what happen. Brick then band Butch from eating bitter chocolate ever again.

Memories End…

"Maybe it is the bitter chocolate?" I sort of ask and suggest.

Brick head quickly snaps looking at Butch's direction. Looking at Butch very hard, Brick then sighs.

"Butch must have only eaten a little bit of bitter chocolate. That maybe the reason for him being somewhat active, but I don't think that is the reason why he is giggling like a school girl." Brick is now glaring at Butch.

Butch lip starts to become thinner, we all knew that happen when Butch is busted. It became his habit that he didn't know. We all told each other not to tell Butch, so when we guess something correct we will just have to see Butch's lip find out the answer.

"I was right then." Brick nodded in approving.

Brick was best at guessing people, he even knew that I was eating a chocolate brownie. I have already brush my teeth and wash my mouth nicely too! But Brick said that he can smell brownie in my mouth. I guess I didn't wash my mouth good enough.

Butch still giggle, not really surprise that Brick figure him out. This made us all very scared except for Bandit.

"Butch spill the bean, or else I will have to punch you until you tell me." Blaine's voice sounds very threatening and his glare was very scary.

"I just know what you guys have someone special in your heart right now. Like someone is like a sister to you. Or someone that was sleeping happily today. Also, somebody just got his crush back." Butch smirks very widely. All three of us have a different color on our face, pale, red and neutral.

I know that I am the one that is sleeping happily. I knew immediately that the person got his crush would be Brick. I was very confused by the sister part, I wonder why would Blaine have a sister. I look at Blaine, who faces is very pale while Brick is very red. I am around the middle. I think that sleeping on Bubble's lap was very nice. I wasn't embarrassed about it that much. I even have a sweet dream too. I did apologize to Bubble later for making her sit at the fountain for an hour. It was a good thing that she has her sketchpad with her to kill time.

"Butch…" Blaine's voice was dangerously low.

Butch stop jumping around and start to sit still.

"What is so wrong about it?" Butch pretends to look confuse which he couldn't pull it off. Butch decides to run back to his room.

"That was the first time that Butch made the right decision." Brick looks at where Butch has run off too.

"Still…" I spoke up, really curious about Brick and Blaine. I decide to be quiet because I don't want to end up like Butch running away.

"Guys… what happen?" Bandit asked instead.

Brick and Blaine look at Bandit. They don't look that happy.

"Come on! Tell me! I was totally in the dark for a long time already. It happens since the day after the dance. You guys haven't been telling me anything." Bandit looking really sad and depress. Brick and Blaine soften a little bit.

"Brick you tell Bandit then, I guess you must have told a lot of people already." Blaine nudges Brick.

"Wait… how did you know that?" Brick looks even more confused.

"It was on the school newspaper." Blaine throws the newspaper to Brick. He read the title "Childhood LOVE of Brick and Blossom".

I took a glance to look at it. I laugh really hard at the title.

"I don't think that Brick need to tell, Bandit you can just read the newspaper." I grab the newspaper out of Brick's hand, then throw it to Bandit. Bandit quickly read and start smiling very wide.

"Hohoho! You are not a gay after all." Bandit starts laughing.

"Again! The gay thing…" Brick starts to felt uncomfortable. He already ran out of energy to shout about gay.

"I guess everything has answered me in this newspaper about Blaine too," Bandit spoke up. This caught everyone's attention. After Brick's story, the second one is about Blaine. The headline said, "Brother and Sister reunited at last!"

"Blaine? I didn't know that Bell is your sister?" I asked.

"She isn't. It is just a way to let the RRB fangirls stay away from her. Now she can spend more time with me." Blaine answers, then he suddenly realizes what he said. He dashes away from the same path as Butch except into his room.

"I see… That is how Blaine thought of solving the problem." Brick thinks, "Bad choice. He should have asked me for help."

"At least, he gets to spend time with Bell," Bandit smiles happily for Blaine.

"Not the way that Bell wants," Brick spoke up.

"What do you mean?" I thought that Bell would be happy being able to spend more time with Blaine.

"I think you guys should know since you guys have more experience with girls than me anyway." Brick got up and go to his room. That leave me and Bandit hanging.

"I am in the dark again aren't I?" Bandit sigh.

"You are not the only one this time." I lay down on the coach confuse. I look to the other wondering what the girls would react about the newspaper.

Bubble's POV

I was shocked! Really shock! I can't believe that during Valentine day something huge would have happened to our friend. It isn't one friend but TWO! I place the newspaper on the coffee table showing it to Blossom and Bell. They both were surprised to see it too.

"Now explain what happen! I want to know! Also… Blossom why didn't you tell me that you are dating with Brick now." o(TヘTo) I pout while looking at Blossom.

"I… er… it's just…" Blossom was stumbling, her face was really red. That is the first time that I see Blossom not able to say anything.

"Hehehe… still you finally get to be with your childhood love! That is so CUTE!" I squeal with delight. Then I turn to Bell. Bell immediately look away from me. She didn't even make eye contact.

"Bell? You are not related to Blaine aren't you." Bunny said. Bell flinch a little, but nod as the answer was correct. We all can tell what Bell doesn't feel good.

"Bell, you can release out the feeling for us to hear you know that?" Blossom said reassuring.

"I guess that keeping it to myself isn't good." Bell tries to smile.

We all gather around close to Bell.

"The newspaper was saying half false and half truth. The false would be that me and Blaine aren't really related. But… Blaine really does see me as a sister. I can tell when he pats my head. He looks down with the eyes of a caring brother." Bell felt depress even more thinking about it.

"I don't want that." Bell couldn't say it anymore, she got up and leave. She went into her room and lock it.

We all look at Bell with worries. I guess that not everyone has a good Valentine day. I look at Bunny and Bunny seems to understand Bell's feeling the most.

"Buttercup?" Bunny said breaking the listen.

"What?" Buttercup looks at Bunny.

"How was it like looking at Butch's face in close up?" Bunny has her playful smile on her face.

Buttercup's eyes grow wide, then her face has a tint of pink.

"Normal." Buttercup looks away from us. We all join in to tease Buttercup which lightens the mood from before. I hope that everything will be better soon.
