Me: Are you guys ready for this update?
Everybody: Yeah!
Me: Alright, I know I kind of left all my readers off at a cliffhanger that is kind of confusing for some of you. Well, I hope it all makes sense in this chapter.
Brick: Oh come on it wasn't that confusing.
Blossom: Oh Brick. Just go work on something.
Bubbles: So AP can you tell us some of the plot this chapter?
Boomer: Yeah just a little sneak peek?
Me: Nope you have to read.
Butch: So who's doing disclaimer?
Me: BC go!
Buttercup: Sweet! Well, AP doesn't own me, my sisters, or the boys. She just owns the plot, the kids, and the AP life lessons. Enjoy!
Me: Oh and sorry this is so short.
"What could be more sick then that," Boomer asked.
"Nothing that's what!" Butch growled.
"Oh but there is," Ace lowered his sunglasses to the bridge of his nose as a smirk slithered onto his face, "You."
Everyone was lost for a second.
"What are you talking about?" Brick asked narrowing his eyes.
"Oh you know exactly what I'm talking about, Brick. You came up with the plan yourself," Ace slowly emphasized 'plan' as he put his hands behind his back. That's when Brick, Butch, and Boomer's eyes almost came out of their head.
"The hell?" Buttercup was confused.
"Oh I forgot you girls don't know about their plan," Ace gasped as if he didn't know.
"You're lying they would never!" Bubbles screamed outraged that someone would say that about Boomer and his brothers.
"Am I? Or are the people you love lying to you?" Ace asked mockingly.
"What do you mean?" Blossom questioned.
"Why don't you ask them yourself?" Ace motioned to the boys.
"Brick, Butch, Boomer, what is he talking about?" the girls asked at once.
"It's nothing," Butch said looking over his shoulder at Buttercup, but keeping an eye on Ace and his gang.
"It was only a thought that we had," Boomer told Bubbles copying the same action as Butch.
"It's in the past and we never planed on. . ." Brick started, but something interrupted.
"Guys what are we doing?" Came a scratchy voice that sounded like Butch's voice. Butch's eyes widened.
"What do you mean?" Another staticy voice came, Boomer. Boomer's eyes grew huge.
"I mean that we haven't even gone that far from them, bro. What is wrong with us? We couldn't have changed that much in only an hour!"
"We haven't so get a hold of yourself dude! Just think this can also give us an advantage." Came that last voice, a leader, Brick. Brick's eyes widened and the boys whipped their heads around to see Ace holding a. . . recorder.
Ace had his slimy smile on his face, "You know you really shouldn't talk about plans in public, especially when you would never want someone to hear it. People could be listening."
The boys turned around to the girls. They were looking at Ace with horror as they listened to the static recording. The boys didn't know why they weren't trying to do something, anything to keep the girls from hearing. They just stood there shocked and in horror as they looked back at Ace.
"Don't you see? They are most vulnerable now. We can learn their weaknesses and we can practice to get stronger while they are occupied with taking care of the babies." Came Brick's voice again.
"Brick?" Blossom whispered. Brick looked over his shoulder to see Blossom starting to cry. He fully turned to her as a tear ran down her cheek.
"Blossom," his mouth formed, "I. . ."
Then they heard Butch's response, "Oh I get it. We can work out to the point we're top dogs."
Butch peeked around his arm to see Buttercup's reaction. She was actually tearing up, but had steam coming out of her ears.
"Butch. . . you asshole," she said low.
"Buttercup," he turned to her, "I. . ."
But was interrupted by Boomer's voice, "So we act like we are helping them and as soon as they get rid of the babies we destroy the girls?"
Boomer heard a gasp from behind him. He turned around to see Bubbles crying.
"Boomer. . . How could you?"
"Bubbles," he said pleadingly, "I. . ."
"So you see girls they aren't for you. They don't care about you or the kids," Ace kept pushing, "It doesn't even stop there. Listen."
Everyone was silent as they heard the buzzing of the tape being fast forward. With a click it stopped and started at the sound of Butch's voice. "We could also make a bet with them like. . . oh I don't know. . . say they have to be our slaves for the rest of our life?"
Butch looked back at Buttercup and saw she was furious, but something else glistened on her face. . . tears were running down her cheeks. TEARS! Seeing her like this made Butch feel like his heart was ripped out of his chest and thrown to a bunch of tarantulas just to be ripped apart even more.
"That's not a bad thought, Butch. Alright, we'll make a bet with them after we are strong enough." Brick's voice came out next.
Brick swung around to see Blossom, who wasn't looking at him, crying vigorously. At the sight of seeing her like that Brick could feel as if his heart was caught on fire and it was slowly spreading though out his body to burn him alive from the inside out.
"Cool," you could hear Boomer respond.
Boomer shamefully turned around to find Bubbles having tears streaming down her face. She held Brook and Blake a lot more protectively and she looked as if she would fall to the ground any minute. Boomer was about to start crying knowing he had caused this and his heart felt like it shriveled up into dust and left with his breath.
"Then we're at an agreement? . . . Good." That was the last they heard Brick say when the recorder was clicked off.
Ace didn't speak. He was just waiting to watch the entertainment about to unfold in front of him.
"So everything?" Blossom started low, but got louder as she spoke along with tears that kept spilling out of her eyes, "Everything that you said to us? Everything that you did for us? Was all of it just a lie to by time for you to get stronger and learn our weaknesses so we could become your slaves?"
"That was before. . ." Brick started, but was cut off by a very pissed off Buttercup.
"Before? Before what? There was never before you assholes!" Buttercup screeched tear strolling down her face.
"Buttercup, we changed I swear," Butch tried to tell her.
"Yeah right. I should've just stuck with what I thought before. Never trust anyone," she gritted her teeth looking away.
"When we started to spend more time with you we started to change," Boomer was finally able to find words.
"Fine, but did you ever care about them?" Bubbles cried motioning to the kids in her arms.
"Yes we did," Brick said stepping closer to Blossom. Blossom shook her head backing up against the wall.
"I always cared for the kids," Boomer said reaching for Bubbles, but she backed into the wall shaking her head furiously, too.
"It took me awhile, but I finally started to like them," Butch admitted trying to lighten the mood. Buttercup though wasn't amused and backed into the wall also.
"Please believe us. We had no intensions of hurting you or the kids," Brick tried.
"NO! Stop with the lying already!" the girls finally screamed.
"Why should we believe you when you were plotting against us this whole time?" Blossom questioned.
"We aren't just toys to be played with!" Bubbles got out.
"You don't deserve to even be saved," Buttercup growled.
That confused the boys until. . .
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" they screamed at the top of their lungs in pain, falling to the floor. Electric current ripping through their bodies at an unimaginable voltage, even for them. The girls were able to avoid the other shots that were fired at them by the Gangreen Gang.
Bubbles looked at the boys and Boomer was able to see her. More tears came to her eyes, she didn't want to leave them behind despite what just happened, but she couldn't help them because she still had Blake and Brook.
Boomer didn't want to see what would happen if they did stay. He just wanted Bubbles safe now knowing that he doesn't have the strength to even help her. 'I can't do anything, right! That damn dream came true and I'll never be able to gain her trust again,' Boomer thought as tears swelled up in his eyes.
Buttercup looked at the guys. Butch looked up to meet her eyes, but she quickly looked away in disgust. Butch gritted his teeth knowing this was his fault. 'I can't believe I was so stupid and weak! I should have never fell for a stupid Powerpuff Girl! This was is my fault.' Tears actually started to fill his eyes a little as he looked back at the ground underneath him.
Blossom looked towards the boys. When she did Brick looked up.
"Leave," Brick was able to get out even though the pain was taking over his body. Blossom turned away from him as Buttercup made a hole in the roof with her laser vision. Blossom turned to look over her shoulder to say one last thing, "Don't worry we are."
That's what did it. Those words stung him so bad that he couldn't feel the pain of the electricity any more. Tears filled his eyes so fast that he couldn't even think about it. He knew he had caused her pain, but he couldn't help but feel like complete shit after those words came out of her mouth. He looked at his brothers to see he wasn't the only one crying as they watched the girls leave with the babies.
"Good," is the last thing he said as he finally let his body black out.
Me: Oh the torture of this cliffhanger. . . I love it! Any who, AP's Life Lesson time! This chapter is kind of obvious don't you think.
Brick & Blossom: We know what it is. =]
Butch & Buttercup: No clue. \
Boomer & Bubbles: We don't know. =
Me: Well, since Ace was the one that mentioned it and I hate him. Boomer gets to say it since he hasn't gotten to do one yet.
Boomer: Sweet. Well, AP's Life Lesson is. . .Never discuss something important in public. I was taught in grade school that if you were going to say something to a friend and it was suppose to be a secret, that you might as well scream it to the entire world. There is nowhere private anymore. Talking about something personal or private in the future or in your life right now, could be over heard by someone who may use the information against you either now or later to ruin your life. Be careful of what you say on the internet or when you're out and about in life. People are everywhere and you never know what kind of person is listening to what you are saying. So if you want to discuss something in private it would be best to do it in your own home or when absolutely no one is around.
Me: Thanks and Review! =P
