Hey, guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. SO MUCH HOMEWORK!

But don't worry about it, because I'M BACK!

Before you read, I need to tell you something. I'm going to be on vacation next week. Therefore, I might not be able to update for a few days, but I'll try my best. Sorry...

I will NOT FORGET ABOUT THIS STORY! I'm not one who just leaves and abandon their stories. That's just plain rude!

Anyway, on with the chapter!

BTW, I'm making another chapter regarding this issue in another part, in case some people skip author notes!

#21- Vacation Days

Ding, dong.

"I'll get it!" Blossom said as she flew towards the door. She swung it open and saw Brick standing outside, bitting his lip.

"Oh! Hey, Brick! What brings you here?" He stepped inside as Blossom shut the entrance. She went inside the kitchen and prepared a cup of lemonade for herself and her visitant.

"Here you go. Some lemonade to cool you off." He smirked as he took a sip.

"Why would I want to cool off, when I want to stay hot." She playfully punched his shoulder as he chuckled.

"Are your sisters here?" She shook her head.

"No. Buttercup is at soccer practice, and Bubbles is probably at the gym. I'm the only one here." He set down his lemonade.

"Blossom, we need to talk." She cocked up a brow as she sat on the loving room couch, him following.

"Alright, then. What is it? It better not be another one of your stupid memes again." He gasped, appalled.

"Excuse me, but for your information, my memes are one of the preeminent phrases in Townsville." She laughed

"Ok, ok. I believe ya'!" Brick put on a somber face as he sat up.

"But, seriously, Blossom. I need to tell you something." Blossom stopped her chortling.

"What do you need to tell me?" Brick looked down at his lap.

"I'm leaving." Blossom snorted, but stopped when she saw his stern expression.

"Wait, you're serious?" He nodded.

"Forever?" Brick rolled his eyes.

"No, of course not!" Blossom let out a sigh of relief.

"How long?"

"A week. Professor Kretch needed a representative for the boy's economics competition, and he chose me, since I have the highest skill level. There's no service, so I won't be able to call." She fiddled with her hands as she looked straight into his deep crimson robs.

"Well, ok then. I guess I'll see you next week..." She said in a timid tone. Brick scoffed.

"Don't worry, Blossom! It's only a week! I'll be back before you know it!" She chuckled lifelessly. Brick scotched closer to her and wrapped him arms around her.

"Hey, hey. For me, it might seem like an ok thing, but your face has dejection written all over it. Don't be a downcast. It makes me morose." She sighed as she leaned on his chest.

"I know. I might seem platitudinous and cheesy, but, honestly, I don't know how I feel. I guess I'm just glum, since we hang out with each other every day, as in every day." He stroked her hair.

"I know, but don't worry! I'll be back before you know it! Alright?" Blossom laughed as she sat up.

"Well, then. I guess you'll need to get going." He briefly raised a brow as he started to head out the door.

"I guess I'll see you next week."

"Yea, see ya." Blossom bit her lip. Brick placed his hands on his shoulders.

"Pinky, I'll be back before you know it! Just look at pictures of me, or somethin'. Don't be so blue! Your color is pink, after all!" She giggled as he ruffled her hair.

"Ok. My flight is about an hour from now, at eleven pm. I have to go. Bye!" Brick took off to the skies as Blossom waved.

She was going to miss him.

Blossom was awoken from the creaking from her bed, six sharp. She stood up from bed as she got ready to start the day. When she was done, she picked up her phone and was about to call Brick, but abruptly remembered their conversation the previous day. She sighed as she set the device down on her table, but was staggered to find a small box on top. She took and opened it. There was a card, a USB, an audio recorder, a sweatshirt and a photo album.

The card read:

Hey, Pinky! I told you yesterday that I was leaving for a week, but I saw your gloomy expression, and decided to make you this box to cheer you up while I'm gone. In case you're thinking that I'm going soft, STOP YOUR THINKING RIGHT NOW MISSY! I'm not being soft! I just wanted to help you out, cause' you know.

The USB has a couple of songs that I composed, so that you would hear the melody of my voice.

There's an audio recorder, in case you want to just listen to me ramble about the scientific revolution.

The card, well you're reading it.

The sweatshirt is mine, so that if you ever feel lonely, you can smell me (weird, but potent!).

Then, there's the photo album. I'd take it with me, but you seem too need it more! Just kidding! I have a spare! :) If you open it, there's a whole bunch of photos of us. Even when I'm gone, you can still see my face. My attractive, stunning and handsome face...

So, yea. That's pretty much it! See you in a few days!

~Brick

P.S. If you laughing at the facts about me, it's not the funny bone that's acting up. It's actually a nerve called the ulnar nerve, but I'm pretty sure you already knew that!

Blossom laughed. As she set it down and took the photograph. She gasped.

It was like a scrapbook, and like Brick said, it had many photos of them with foam and colorful card board strips. Tears were starting to form at the brim of Blossom's eyes.

It was a masterpiece. She hugged the scrapbook to her chest as she slid down her bedroom wall, smiling.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad waiting for him.

Ok, I'm pretty sure you know where this came from!

It wouldn't be so bad waiting for the next update!

See ya!
