Can't Buy Respect, but you can pick up that Bill

The next day Bubbles wearily opened her eyes as she felt someone nudging her and the sound of a loud alarm clock blaring in her ears. Bubbles groaned. "Bubbles wake up school time!" she opened her eyes a bit only to find Brick sitting beside her on the bed and Boomer behind her nudging her, when she finally got up she noticed Brick standing in front of the bed, with his cool look and slouched posture. So things were normal again. Bubbles mumbled swearing before heading off to the bathroom to get ready.

When they finally got to school Bubbles saw Blossom with a clique, she was acting all girly, and perfect it was like she was barbie! Bubbles sighed and walked to class, just then she felt someone grab her wrist, she turned around to find the redhead barbie looking at her.

"Blossom let go of me" said Bubbles in an annoyed tone, she didn't have time to waste on this, she was still depressed about Buttercup, she didn't have time to listen to barbie babble on and on about how Bubbles was ugly and jealous and what not.

"It's all your fault you know, Buttercup could have lived if it wasn't for her loving you so much and trying to break out of the sp.." but Blossom stopped herself as she clasped both hands on her mouth and just walked away. Bubbles noticed the skull on Blossom's arm was the same as the one on Buttercup's. Weird thought Bubbles, but ignored it and went to class. As usual she sat beside Butch, and hung out with the guys, during recess as usual Brick and Boomer went off with their friends, leaving Bubbles alone, no one was talking to her since the incident, because they didn't want to loose their "popularity" and they were worried that they would if Blossom caught them talking to Bubbles. Bubbles sat on the grass by herself, plucking it out of the ground, bored.

"Hey loner, don't take your madness out on the grass." she looked up to see Butch smirking at her, she just frowned and went back to plucking grass. "I'm bored, their's nothing to do, no one to play tag with, no coloring to do, no nothing!" said Bubbles. He looked at her and cocked an eyebrow. "Aren't girls your age supposed to be obsessed with makeup and think playing is uncool because you'll break a nail and spend ALL of your time talking about boys, and jewelery and junk" said Butch. "That's the problem, all the girls except me do that, I want to play tag or skip rope or go window shopping or something, and just what do you mean by girls your age? It's not like your any older!" Bubbles thought about is, Butch did seem pretty tall to be a 14 year old guy, he seemed more 18, 19.

"Bubbles don't tell me you forgot, your school goes from the 8'th grade to college" said Butch with a smirk. "Oh yeah.." though bubbles rubbing her head. "Wait a minute so exactly how old are you Butch?" said Bubbles looking at him up and down. "Guess" he said.

"Um 20?" said Bubbles making her best guess.

"Close but too high" said Butch

"19, 30?" said Bubbles confused, "No Dumb ass, I'm 18" said Butch.

"Oh...ok..wait a minute! Their is no way an 18 year old guy, and his brothers who are the same age are in the class of a ...14 year old girls English class!" said Bubbles in shock. "I have my connections." said Butch smirking.

"Butch , you better not have threatened the Principle, or the mayor, or the United Stated or The statue of liberty, because that's wrong because!" Butch just stared deep in her eyes, not wanting to make her stop, she looked so cute...wait a minute Butch get your head cleared! Your 4 years older then the girl. But he kept on looking into her eyes. She noticed and eventually stopped, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

"Bubbles you said you wanted to go out somewhere, well what better time then now." said Butch. "That's stupid Butch, because it's school right now and..." That's when she noticed the look in his eyes and smile on his lips was mischievous. "No way Butch! Absolutely not! Their is no way, that I a perfect record and good student am skipping school! No way."

Yet 10 minutes later Bubbles was surprised as Butch carried her flying on the way to the mall, she couldn't believe that she had let him convince her to do this!Could this be a date... thought Bubbles her eyes in a state of wonder. "Hm..I'm not sure Bubbles." said Butch she looked up at him to find out that he had been reading her mind again!

"Butch !" said Bubbles, but her cheeks were flushed bright red of shyness. Finally he put her down as they had arrived at the mall. Both of them walked in the mall doors and Bubbles looked at Butch "So what do ya want to do?" Butch looked at her.

"I know exactly what I want to do" he said smiling devilishly, as he dragged her in a store filled with glamorous dresses. "I certainly hope we're only window shopping, these dresses look expensive Butch!" Butch just smiled at her and dragged her in. A lady walked up to him "Oh sir Butch! How may I help you" Bubbles cocked an eyebrow, sir Butch, what the heck since when did Butch become a "sir" thought Bubbles. Butch looked at her and smiled "Well then lady, would you mind accompanying this man who just happens to be a sir inside the store?" this made Bubbles giggle, yep he had been reading her mind again alright.
