Me: ….Heyyyy-
Blossom: Don't -_-
Me: T_T Kay~
Buttercup: She doesn't own us.
Bunny: Thankfully.
Bubbles: She also doesn't own the songs.
Bell: Once again, thankfully.
Me: …ON WITH THE STORY
~~XxX~~
Buttercup sighed as the group walked to their next class talking animatedly. She was nervous about this project but at the same time excited. Bunny and herself had practiced the routine and the song numerous times and it was so much fun doing it with her.
It was just hard to concentrate when your apparent older brother who you had thought was either dead or kidnapped was living life without you in one of the most esteemed schools in the country. She was going to get answers sooner or later and Buttercup just hoped it would be sooner.
Because she was going to beat the shit out of Chase. Her lime green eyes glowing dangerously as she clenched her fists didn't go unnoticed by Butch who slowly slid his hand into hers. She jolted out of her own hatred and looked up to see him casually scrolling through his phone. She smiled at his nonchalant attitude and relaxed.
That's right. For now, this is about her and her dreams. No one else.
Suddenly, the alarm rang and the lights began flashing once more throughout the halls. Her heart began to race thinking of who the next performer would be.
"Ooh! I wonder who's the next victim!" Bliss cooed out excitedly. Bell rolled her eyes.
"Stop making it sound like that."
Bunny jumped excitedly. "I hope it's me and you, Butters!"
Blossom cleared her throat. "It's 'you and I', Bunny."
Bubbles blinked. "No Blossom, you already went!"
"I need an aspirin." Brick grumbled while the others laughed.
While the group continued chuckling, Riley walked out of a classroom door in front of them grinning charismatically.
"Alright! Bunny and…Buttercup! …Nice names."
The entire group chorused, "I know, right?"
Buttercup exhaled shakily. She prepared for this but the butterflies in her stomach still weren't going away. Bunny glanced at her pale friend and smiled walking up to her, holding her hands.
"We got this, Butters." Bunny winked. "Or at least, I got you.'
Buttercup looked at her friend's eyes and suddenly felt assured everything would be fine. She smiled and nodded. "Yeah."
Time to blow this teacher away.
"The Worst"
(Bunny)
Tell me what you say now?
Tell me what you say
Come again?
If you cannot stay down
Then you do not have to pretend
Like there is no way out
I shoulda never let you in
Cause you got me face down
Bunny slowly parted from Buttercup, moving her hair carefully to the side while slowly turning her hips to the beat. Her eyes slowly slide to Bullet's who was already staring causing her to quickly look back at anything else but him.
(Buttercup)
And don't take this personal
But you're the worst
You know what you've done to me
And although it hurts I know
I just can't keep runnin' away
Buttercup mimicked her movements while closing her eyes, letting the music take her over.
(Bunny)
I don't need you [x4]
But I want you
I don't mean to [x4]
But I love you
At each "I don't need you" Bunny's acting skills came to life as a look of desperation came onto her face. At least, Bullet hoped that was acting.
(Buttercup)
Tell me what you say now
Tell me what you say?
You said that you would come again
You said that we would remain friends but
You know that I do not depend on
Nothing or no one
So why would you show up
So uninvited then
Just change my mind like that
Buttercup wanted to think of anything at that moment that would distract her from how close those lyrics hit home for her. And the only thing coming to her head was how strong and warm Butch's hands were, against her slightly calloused fingers.
(Bunny)
Please don't take this personal
But you ain't shit
And you weren't special
Til I made you so
You better act like you know
That I've been through worse than you
I just can't keep running away
(But I don't need you)
(Buttercup)
I don't need you [x4]
But I want you
I don't mean to [x4]
But I love you
(Bunny)
Everybody's like
He's no item
Please don't like em
He don't wife em
He one nights em
I never listened
No
I shoulda figured though
All that shit you was spittin'
So unoriginal
But it was you
So I was with it
Then tell you the truth
Wish we never did it
Bunny rubbed her arm thinking of what had happened back when she opened her heart to Bullet the first time. There was something wrong there and she knows she shouldn't have rushed to conclusions but seeing it…Seeing what had happened between them still hurt to this day.
(Buttercup)
Cause I usually do
Stick to the business
But you came out the blue
And then you just flipped it
God damn baby
My mind's blown
Be forgettin'
You live in a different time zone
Think I know what this is
It's just the time's wrong
Yeah I know what you did
But baby I'm grown
And my love is patient
And kind, and shit
This is real we can build
Through different types of shit
If you was really the realest
Wouldn't be fightin' it
I think your pride is just
In the way
Funny how everything changed
Once you got all that you wanted
Nothing was ever the same
Buttercup thought of the mixed signals Butch gave her. Why was he so nice with her? If he liked her why couldn't he say it? What was he so afraid of? Buttercup may come off as naïve sometimes but she wasn't. She knew better than anyone they had something between them so what was so hard to understand?
(Bunny)
And though
I don't need you [x4]
I still want you
(Buttercup)
I don't mean to [x4]
But I, but I love you
(Bunny)
I don't need you [x4]
But I want you
(Buttercup)
I don't mean to [x4]
But I love you
The song ended with a heavy feeling in both of the girls' hearts. But they shook it off at the loud applause that reached their ears, especially the cheers from their friends.
"Very nice, ladies! I can taste the raw emotion! Way to go!" Riley smiled and took his leave causing everyone else to crowd the two girls.
"You guys did great!" Boomer grinned and Bubbles nodded in agreement.
"I really felt your emotions through the song!" She giggled.
Bell smirked and said. "Bunny has talent in acting too. Who would have thought?"
Bunny chuckled and shoved her playfully. But then Bullet cut in before she could even retort.
"I did."
She looked at him and the serious look on his face caused her to blush and look away.
Brick crossed his arms with a small smile. "Good job."
Blossom hugged both. "You'll get great marks."
Buttercup giggled. "Thanks," she said. "If anything I'm looking forward to Brick's and Butch's performance."
Butch rolled his eyes. "Hopefully Red over here won't mess up."
Brick scoffed and spit out sardonically, "You're the hot head over here, not me."
Bliss put his hands together in a prayer. "Sad boy hours."
"Shut up, Bliss!"
One more performance to go.
~~XxX~~
Me: ….
Brick: You are so DEAD!
Me: Screams and runs
Butch: Come BACK HERE YOU LITTLE!
Bliss: I did NOT EVEN GET ENOUGH SCREEN TIME!
Boomer: YOU DIDN'T GET ENOUGH SCREEN TIME?! I SAID ONE LINE!
Bullet: I ONLY SAID ONE WORD THE FUCK?!
Me: Wow you guys are needy~
The boys: ….GET HER!
Me: AHHH-till next time-AHHHHHH
