The Infamous Theatre

Blossom stood there, staring at the amazing theatre she stood in the middle of. The walls were painted the color of thick blood. The curtains that drooped around the stage were a dirty golden color. Props and pieces of costumes were littered around on the stage. The audience was huge and there was a big, crystal chandelier hanging over the chairs. The chairs themselves were velvet with wooden arms and legs. "Wow…" Blossom whispered. She turned to Buttercup in awe. "You work here?"

"Occasionally…I travel all around Europe doing two jobs…shows and running Boss' errands that he is too lazy to do himself." Buttercup replied.

"I happen to be very busy…"

"Really now? Snogging ladies while you steal from them? Gambling? Fighting?"

"Snogging?" Blossom raised an eyebrow at him. Brick's eyes widened and he glared at Buttercup through his mask. Butch turned away slowly, not wanting to watch. Buttercup stuck her tongue out at him. He looked at Blossom again.

"That was before we met, Love. You are the only one I want now." Blossom's expression didn't lighten for a minute before turning back to Buttercup. Sometimes, this man…

"So, you're really going to leave me here?" Brick shook his head.

"I'm just keeping you here until I get word that Dexter's men have moved in the opposite direction. Then, I'll come and pick you up personally…" He held her closely and smiled. "We'll get married, go back to that cottage…" He was speaking into her neck now. It tickled. She blushed and smiled as he swayed back and forth with her. "Have a couple of children...imagine it...I come home, two sons playing with their toys and dogs by the fire...a little girl playing with a doll as you finish setting the table...and when the children are all tucked in their bed, I'll give you a reward for being such a loving wife and mother." Then he squeezed her bum. She shrieked a bit and giggled, hitting his chest.

"Three children?"

"With another on the way."

"Do you wish to give birth to an entire village?" She sighed. He gave her a big smile and tickled her chin before whispering.

"I plan to give you the life you've been wanting."

"Boss!" Boomer called from the door. Brick dropped out of his romantic phase and went to Boomer.

"What is it now?"

"Well, I was looking over the route and I got a question..." Blossom couldn't hear anything else because she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned and saw Bubbles smiling brightly.

"This is going to get boring, want to go and see the costumes?"

"Can we do that?"

"Of course!" Buttercup said. "That's one of the fun things, trying on different costumes. Let's go!" The girls went off and climbed onto the stage, heading where Buttercup directed. The hallways were littered with large platforms, latters, buckets, rags and everything else you might need in a theatre. Buttercup opened a room and gave them a showy bow. "I present to you, the room of dreams...the costume room." Inside the room was a beautiful array of costumes for almost every story preformed on stage...Hannibal...Much Ado About Nothing...The Prince and the Pauper...The Forest Queen (which Buttercup had the lead female role in), it was amazing...Bubbles picked up a feathery mask and began dancing around and clapping her hands like a gypsy. They laughed and joined. Blossom grabbed a nearby sari and wrapped it around her body, twirling. Buttercup picked up a prop drum and began to hit it, laughing. They went around the room, grabbing random costumes and trying them on, giggling the entire time.

"Are we having fun, ladies?" Butch came in and smirked. Buttercup now had a viking hat on, she was dressed as if she were a beautiful Viking girl (one of the thin ones). "I'm a little frightened about you wearing that hat, Love."

"Why?"

"Because when you're mad, you'll probably ram into me with it."

"Possibly." She lightly pounded his chest when he grabbed her and kissed her straight on the mouth. It was just something you couldn't turn away from. Buttercup gripped his hair and pulled while he lifted her up and held her even closer, it that was possible. Finally they needed air and let go, panting with flushed faces.

"...I thought you both would suffocate..."

"Scandelous..." Blossom whispered. Buttercup stuck her tongue out at them before Butch grabbed her face and put his mouth around it. She mumbled protests before giving up, Butch wasn't letting go.

"Hey, Butch, did you-what in the name of the good lord?" Blare stared as his friend continued to snog his girl before shaking his head in frustrastion. "Butch, you were supposed to tell them it was time for us to leave!" Butch finally let go of her.

"I don't want to, I want to stay with my sweetie..."

"It's always like this..." Bubbles whispered to Blossom. "When they haven't seen one another for a long time, and after they're done chewing each other out, they go into a long romantic fit for days until it finally wears off a bit...they can be so dependant."

"Ahhh..." So Buttercup did the same with Butch as she did with Brick. "I would have never guessed."

"Butch, we have to go! The more time we lose, the closer we get to being found out...and the angrier Boss gets." Blare said. Butch growled, putting her down.

"Can't I take her with me? Then I'd stay out of trouble."

"Trust me, if that happened, I could die happy, but I promised the theatre owner that I'd act for the new play he's making. It's going to play in a couple of nights, so I have a lot to do." Buttercup said. "But, maybe...when we see each other again..." As she said this, she kissed his jawline, "we'll spend more time together." He chuckled before kissing her forehead and letting go.

"Well, ladies, sadly we must bid you ado..."

"I wish you didn't have to." Blossom sighed when she felt hands pull her back. She nearly screamed when she was spun around to see Brick smirking at her. "Brick!"

"Shhhh, 'Boss', remember?"

"Are yo correcting me, Boss?" She kissed his jawline, rubbing his pecks. He laughes as he hold her. "Do you really need to go? I want you here..."

"I know, I know, but I promise...as soon as it's all clear, I'll come and pick you right up...and we'll finally start our life together..."

"Promise?"

"Yup...did you know that at my cottage, far behind those hills far east...is a beautiful meadow of honeysuckle...blooms every spring...I'd bring as much honeysuckle I could carry...you would love it."

"It'll be nice..." Blossom giggled, loving the idea. Brick smiled and rocked her back and forth. "You have to go now, Brick?" He nodded and kissed her gently.

"And when I get back...I'm bringing you a nice necklace and flowers...just for you." Blossom sighed, smiling up at him again.

"Boss!" Butch called him over. Brick growled and put on his other 'mask', the cold hearted thief lord. "Let's go now, we're burning daylight."

"I know..." He pulled Blossom close and whispered, "I'll write as much as I can..."

"How will I know-"

"You'll know..." After that, Brick led the boys out.

I told you, everything is a little slow toda-(hears something blow up)

Okay, who?
