Me: Hello People of Fanfiction!
Brick: Hey don't you have an announcement to do or something?
Me: Oh yeah! Blossom start us off!
Blossom: Well, AP got a review from a reader and they have a broken toe. ),:
Bubbles: Oh no! Poor reader. :'(
Boomer: So yeah this chapter is dedicated to them. . .
Butch: What's her name?
Buttercup: turtleluver18. Hey at lest she can get ice cream now.
Me: Buttercup! But yeah ice cream make everything seem better. Alright, enough chit chat let's get on with the story for turtleluver18. Along with the rest of the readers out there! Reds, your turn. =P
Reds: AP owns the plot and AP's Life Lessons.
Blossom: She doesn't own, however, my sisters or myself.
Brick: AP doesn't own my brothers or me, too.
Both: So enjoy the story!
"Let's take them out side. That always seems to calm them down," Blossom shrugged patting Bonnie on the butt.
"Then come on," Buttercup said moving towards the door.
"Here let me get the door," Butch said getting up from the dinner table. As he got the door Bubbles was getting Blake, too.
"Are you sure?" Boomer asked handing over Blake.
"Yeah, have your brotherly time or something. You've helped me out a lot and you need some of your own time," Bubbles smiled as Boomer helped her set the kids right so it would be easier to hold both struggling kids.
Brick went to rub Bonnie on the head. As he was doing that he looked Blossom, "If you need us call for us. We'll be here."
Blossom nodded, "Okay, we'll let you know."
With that the girls went outside and sat on the darkened porch.
Buttercup sat on the last step so she could see the stars and moon and put her bare feet in the soft green grass.
Blossom sat on the next step up so she was able to see the moon and stars, but was closer to the kitchen.
Bubbles on the other hand couldn't go down the stairs since. . . she had a hand full. Bubbes was patting the babies, but it didn't seem to be working, "Hey girls should we sing that one melody we know?"
"The stars one?" Buttercup asked.
"Yeah that one," Bubbles said excitedly.
"Alright let's sing it girls," Blossom smiled.
All the girls started to hum the tune into the kid's ears and they sang in perfect harmony,
"Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true
The lamb lies down and rests it's head
On it's mother's downy bed
Dolphin plays in the moonlight's glow
And butterfly dreams of a violet rose
Dreams of a violet rose
I'll cradle you in my arms tonight
As sun embraces the moonlight
The clouds will carry us off tonight
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true."
"Aww very beautiful girls," came a creepy low voice.
The girls jumped with a gasp as they looked towards the voice. Coming out of the dark corner of the back yard came a tall figure.
"Ace. Where are your goons?" Buttercup hissed, but was answered when she head something shut. The girls looked over to see Big Billy shutting the gate. Another sound came from the other side of the yard. The girls heads snapped in that direction to see Little Arturo jumping over the fence then leaning against it. Another sound came from the back of the yard. The girls watched as Snake and Grubber walked out of the darkness to stand by their leader's side.
Bubbles held Blake and Brook closer to her as she was in a panic. Blossom was worried, but didn't show it. As for Buttercup she was flat out pissed.
"So girls do you want to do this the hard way or the easy way?" Ace asked rubbing his nails like a Prima Dona on his jacket.
"Is there even a difference when it comes to you?" Blossom retorted venom in her voice.
"True. So boys. . . show no mercy," Ace said nonchalantly not even glancing up.
"Shit," the girls mumbled under their breath. The Gangreen Gang started to get closer. As much as Buttercup wanted to fight them she knew she couldn't hand Beck off to Blossom on this one. Grubber and Snake launched themselves at the girls, but missed. The girls had jumped and landed in the back of the yard, which caused the kids to choke a little and cough. Surprisingly they didn't wake up.
Ace saw this and faked his voice, "Aww look the girls are hurting the kids. You know you shouldn't do that. It could choke them."
"Shit he's right," Blossom muttered.
"Now what?" Buttercup asked plainly.
Bubbles looked at her sisters, "What girls normally do in this sort of situation."
"Let me say goodbye to my pride real quick then. Pride I'm sorry, but goodbye," Buttercup said.
"Buttercup this is no time to joke. We have to," Blossom scowled keeping an eye on the Gangreen gang. Before the gang could get within twenty feet of them, the girls did the only thing that all girls are really good at. . . scream.
"AHHHHHHH!" They all screamed. The Gangreen Gang fell to the ground holding their ears, but powered though it and charged after the girls.
"Brick!" Blossom shrieked.
"Boomer!" Bubbles pleaded.
"Butch!" Buttercup yelled.
"HELP!" they finished together before hands clamped over their mouths. Not a second later did the boys come running out of the kitchen.
Brick stopped dead in his tracks and his face went from surprise to serious is a split second. Butch stopped right next to his brother and his feature said You-are-dead. Boomer stopped on the other side of Brick, but his expression just read worry then went to pissed.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Brick growled out.
"Oh just claiming what is ours, Red," Ace smirked while trying to hold a stuggling Buttercup with Big Billy, Grubber and Little Arturo held Blossom, and Snake held Bubbles.
"You better let them go or this is going to get very ugly, very quick," Butch seethed.
"Aww don't you sound like my precious sour flower?" Ace said in a baby voice rubbing his face against Buttercup who was ready to rip his face off.
Butch growled at the sight. Boomer saw and thought of how to distract the gang, "What the hell are you claiming? The girls or the kids?"
Ace just smiled and looked at his gang members then back at Boomer, "Both. The kids they are my main priority though. . ."
"Bullshit!" Butch screamed.
"Then why do you want the girls?" Brick asked.
"They are a bonus. . . for fun. You see the girls have something very special in store for them," Ace answered giving Buttercup a "seductive" (NOT) grin.
Buttercup had enough of this jackass. She opened her mouth and bit down as hard as she could on Ace's hand.
"OWWW!" Ace screamed in pain pulling his hand back.
This gave Buttercup the chance to step on Big Billy's foot and hard. He let her go squealing in pain.
Blossom saw what Buttercup did and copied the action except she back kicked Grubber in the stomach and elbowed Little Arturo.
Bubbles followed her sister's leads, but instead she kneed Snake where the sun never shines.
After Buttercup stomped on Big Billy's foot she was about to run towards the boys, but was grabbed by the ankle. She fell to the ground, but used her free arm to keep her from landing on Beck. Blossom and Bubbles were in the same position, except Bubbles had fallen on her back.
"I'm not going to let those kids get away from me this time!" Ace struggled to say, "Even if I have to kill you."
With that he pulled out a knife. Buttercup gasped and looked towards her sisters to see knives were also being used. Buttercup turned back to Ace and saw he was about to bring it down. Buttercup held onto Beck as she watched Ace bring the knife down.
In a flash, red, forest, and navy streaks the ones with knives were at the mercy of the Rowdyruff Boys in a deadly neck hold. The girls let out a shaky sigh, but were unable to move due to shock. Brick, Butch, and Boomer held up the gangs knives then used their laser beams to melt them right in front of their eyes. The Gangreen gang seemed a little fearful, but not much.
"If you ever come near the girls or those kids again, you are going to end up just like that knife," Brick threaten.
"Can't we just do it now?" Butch asked irritated.
"I wish, but let's settle with a nice beating," Boomer growled.
"Agreed," Brick nodded.
With that the boys threw Grubber, Ace, and Snake in the air and as they came down Brick, Butch, and Boomer sent solid punches to their stomachs. Ace and Grubber flew into Little Arturo and Big Billy while Snake when through the fencing. The Gangreen Gang scrambled to their feet and headed for the back fence. They were having a struggle getting over it, too.
"Having trouble," Butch teased a smirk across his face, "Here let me help you with that."
Butch sent a solid kick right into Big Billy's ass making him fly into a tree and knocking it down. Butch proceeded to punch Ace in the face and HARD making him do the same thing as Big Billy. . . landing on him.
The others were lucky and were able to get over before Butch could get a solid punch in. Brick, Butch, and Boomer were chuckling to themselves until they remembered why they just kicked the Gangreen Gangs butts for. . . the girls.
They looked at each other after realization hit them and they quickly spun around to find the girls in the same position they were left in when the fight started.
Blossom and Buttercup were propped up on their elbows holding Bonnie and Beck close, their breathing heavy, and their eyes almost coming out of their head. As for Bubbles, she was laying on her back also breathing heavy and eyes huge she tried her best to look at what was going on from the side.
The boys ran up to the girls, "Are you guys okay?"
"What. . . took. . . you. . . so. . .long. . . to. . . join. . . in?" Blossom panted out.
"I was waiting for the right moment for us to get those dirt bags," Brick replied smirking a little seeing that she was alright.
"Yeah. . . and. . . waiting for us. . . to. . . get stabbed. . . was the. . . perfect timing," Buttercup huffed bitterly.
"Brick, thought it was," Butch shrugged still smirking.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm really scared right now. I mean even monsters that we fight aren't this aggressive," Bubbles said.
Boomer helped Bubbles sit up since there was no sign of her moving any time soon.
"Agreed," Blossom gasped still not moving.
"Totally. I have no idea what to think," Buttercup nodded.
"We'll continue this inside because they weren't hurt to badly and I don't want them coming back with us still sitting here," Brick stated looking around.
"True, but I can't remember how to move," Blossom joked trying to sit all the way up, but her body prohibiting the movement.
"Then here," Brick said scooping her up into his arms. Blossom didn't even blush because she was still trying to get over the affects of shock. Brick started towards the door.
"Boomer, can you help me?" Bubbles asked shyly. He was holding her back up since her hands were full.
"Here I gotcha," Boomer nodded getting his other hand under her legs and picking her up. Once she was set with the twins he followed his brother towards the door.
"Give me a hand," Buttercup mumbled trying to sit up.
Butch grabbed her hand pulling her to her feet. She tried to walk, but she took one step and collapsed. Luckily, Butch caught her.
"You aren't walking. So don't complain," Butch commanded.
Surprisingly, Buttercup obeyed, it was probably because she was to tired and still in shock mode to care. Butch picked her up effortlessly and was right behind his brothers.
When they got to the kitchen the girls were starting to come out of their state.
"You can set me down now. Thank you, Brick," Blossom said.
"Yeah, Boomer. You can put me down," Bubbles nodded.
"Butch, you can let me go," Buttercup commented.
Butch and Boomer raised their eyebrows at their brother not sure if they should or not. Brick nodded to them to set them down. When he put Blossom's feet on the ground and she stood up he saw she was shaking furiously. Brick looked at his brothers to see that Blossom's sisters were also shaking uncontrollably.
"Maybe I should carry you so more," Boomer commented to Bubbles.
She shook her head, "No it's fine. This is normal."
"But you're shaking like crazy," Boomer countered.
"And how is this normal?" Butch asked confused.
"This is not the first time we've been in shock guys. I mean we fight monsters everyday and sometimes some can be a little overwhelming. At lest for those two," Buttercup motioned to her sisters with her head.
"And shaking is normal because it is an after effect," Blossom explained.
"Fine, but for now lets get you somewhere to rest," Brick said helping Blossom balance herself. His brothers looked at him questionably.
"Where bro?" Boomer asked.
"Our rooms," Brick said ushering Blossom towards the hallway.
Everyone looked at Brick as if he had just announced that he was not a Rowdyruff Boy anymore, "What!?"
"You heard me," is all he said looking back at his brothers then retuning to look at the shocked Blossom.
"You can't be serious, man?" Butch whined.
"As serious as Ace was to kill the girls? Yeah I'm dead serious," Brick glared over his shoulder again.
"Why should we go in your rooms though? They are probably all dirty and bad for the kids," Buttercup sneered fully coming out of her shocked state.
"Because if you want to get yourself or those kids here go ahead and stay in the guest bedroom. I can tell you this, those dweebs are not foolish enough to come into are room since we know that they will come back. So listen to what I say," Brick retorted deadly low.
Buttercup froze up for a second before looking at her pink eyed sister, who was now out of her previous state and now realizing the seriousness of the situation. Blossom looked at Buttercup and nodded, "Do it Buttercup. Just listen to Brick."
Buttercup sighed in defeat, but nodded nonetheless, "Fine."
"Good now Butch and Boomer," the boys straightened up at the mention of their name, "Take Buttercup and Bubbles to your rooms. Then meet me in the hallway so we can discuss about tonight and sleep," Brick commanded.
"What about us?" Bubbles asked shyly.
"We'll tell you what will be going on after we come to a conclusion," Brick explained.
"Okay," Bubbles muttered.
With that the boys led the girls to their rooms. Once in the boys rooms the girls made a spot on the bed for the babies.
Boomer's room:
Bubbles was silent the whole entire time she set up a bed for Brook and Blake. Boomer just watched her kind of worried that she wasn't talking. Bubbles then finished making them Brook and Blake's bed and laid down on her side right next to them. Boomer didn't know what to do so he did the only thing he felt like doing right now. . . lay down. Boomer went to the other side of the bed where Blake was and laid down. He looked at Bubbles and saw her just staring at the kids with a blank expression on her face. Boomer was about to say something, but she finally beat him to it.
"Boomer?" Bubbles asked quietly.
"Yes Bubbles?" Boomer responded from the other side of the bed.
"Do you think that the Gangreen Gang will come back after the kids, again?"
"Yeah I do Bubbles. I think we finally see that he is really after them."
"Will you protect them and. . . umm. . . Boomer could you. . . uhhh protect. . . me?" Bubbles asked hesitantly.
That took Boomer by surprise. Why would she be asking if he would protect her? Not that he wouldn't, he is and will. But just that she, Bubbles of the Powerpuff Girls, the super hero's that fights crime and monsters every single day of there lives, is asking him, Boomer of the Rowdyruff Boys, a criminal that wants to destroy the Powerpuff Girls, if he could protect her.
Boomer thought about it for a second and came to the conclusion that sometimes even the protector needs some protection.
"Bubbles," Boomer sat up and got off the bed. Bubbles watched him as he moved around to her side of the dark blue bed. When he was on her side he crawled into bed behind her and put his arm over her and the children. She kept her arm draped over the two sleeping figures that were also on the bed. After Boomer made sure that Bubbles adjusted to him being behind her he continued to whisper in her ear, "I will always protect you. I don't want you to get hurt or the babies."
Bubbles turned so she could see his face. She had a huge smile across her face. "Thanks, Boomer," she said in her sweet tone. Then she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. She turned away and closed her eyes.
"You're welcome. You better get some sleep now," Boomer whispered as he laid back down next to her, but he wasn't going to sleep tonight even if Brick told him, too. Nah he had too much on his mind because Boomer had completed Brick's plan. He had finally found her weakness. . . the protector needs protection.
Me: Another chapter down and . . . some more to go!
Butch: Please tell me I'm not going to sleep with Buttercup.
Buttercup: Butch, we can all see through that lie. You are just asking because you want to sleep with me. But I can just say this. . . PLEASE TELL ME THAT WE AREN"T!
Me: You'll just have to see.
Brick: Sooo. . .
Blossom: AP should we umm. . . get on with the AP's Life Lesson?
Boomer: Yeah because this is kind of disturbing.
Me: Yeah Bubbles you're up now that you are finally back.
Bubbles: Thanks, AP! And Sorry about last time. Well, AP's Life Lesson is. . . Even the protector needs protection. This is true for anyone and everyone. You could be the protector of a younger sibling like your mother is of you and your father or your father is of you, your siblings, and your mother. It's like a big circle. You have your mother and father to protect you from the Boogie man or from the other monsters under your bed. But sometimes your father or mother need to protect each other whenever one feels vulnerable or can't take something alone. You can take on some things, but I promise you that even a protector needs help to feel like they are being protected.
Me: Yep I always try to protect my family. I sometimes need to know that there is someone there to protect me though. Thanks and Review! =P
