No ones pov
"I can be yo sugar when you fiending for that sweet spot, put me in yo mouth baby and eat it till your teeth rot, this my song right here!" Diajah says as she dances, making Bubbles laugh.
"If CJ saw you like that.. Oh goodness." She giggles.
"And he will get slapped if he tried somethin." She sasses, flipping her hair.
The girls are in their tour bus, going to their next destination, Nevada, for their concert.
If the boys and the girls were to be in the same tour bus.. Lord have mercy.
"Are you guys dating yet?" Buttercup asks, coming out the bathroom.
"Who, me and CJ? Girl please.."
"Ugghhh just get together already!" Buttercup complained, flopping on the couch.
"It's not that easy! Like.. he be nice to me and stuff but.. I don't know, I just can't hold my tongue when he around..!" She explains, sitting down sighing.
"And I ain't gon lie.. I kinda feel bad sometimes.. Cuz he's nice, and I always got something rude to say.. But he just be acting like he 2 nickels short of a dime sometimes!"
"True.." Bubbles and Buttercup agrees.
"But.. when we went on our date.. It felt different.. I felt different. And I haven't felt that way in a long time. It.. scared me."
"And so.. You think by being hostile, it'll make it better?" Bubbles asks.
"Yeah.."
"Diajah.. I know your last break up was horrible, trust me, I know.." Bubbles says, sadness evident in her tone.
"But..that doesn't mean he deserves to be treated that way all the time. Let him restore your trust issues.."
Diajah sighs and lays down, thinking.
"... I'll..try. But it ain't gon' be easy."
"That's ok! Building a relationship takes time for some people."
"Oh yeah, this gon' take, a looooot of time."
With the boys
"I'm hungryyyyyyyy." Butch complains laying on his stomach.
"We'll stop to get food in 10 minutes." Dave says, doing paperwork with Brick's assistance.
"I wonder what the girls are doing." Boomer wonders, laying on his back.
"Why won't you text your new girlfriend and ask?" Butch teases.
"Haha, very funny." Boomer says rolling his eyes.
"What? You guys hang out like, all the time."
"That's because I'm helping get over her break up." He defends.
"Why can't she get it over herself?"
Boomers eyes flare in anger and he resists the urge to chuck a pillow at him.
"She's heartbroken. All because that shithead didn't know how to keep it in his pants. I'm just trying to help mend the pain."
"Why? So you can stick it in?"
"You're unbelievable."
Butch laughs in response.
"Can you two shut up?" Brick grumbled.
"Yeah, shut up Butch."
Brick rolls his eyes as he finishes his work, standing up and stretching.
"We need to go practice, unless you want to lose again." Brick says, shooting them looks.
"They won cause they got lucky." Butch mutters.
"No, they won because they were good, better than us. If we want to win we need to step our game up." He says.
"Wake Mitch up. After we eat, we're gonna practice."
"Uggghhh but I don't wannaaaaaa." Butch complains.
"Too bad."
3 days later
Concert
The sound of cheering is the only thing that can be heard in Nevada's Stadium as the girls and boys get ready.
"Wow.. do y'all hear that? That's amazin." Diajah grins.
"I know.. Kinda making me nervous.." Robin mutters, touching up her make-up.
"Don't be, we all practiced hard and it's gonna be worth it." Buttercup reassures, tightening up her green heeled boots.
"But what if I mess up?"
"You won't. And if you do, it's ok, I messed up before too."
"That.. doesn't really make me feel any better." Robin admits, sighing.
"I tried." Buttercup shrugs.
"Buttercup is not the comforting sister, that's my job." Bubbles smiles, gently grabbing Robin's arm and pulling her aside.
"What's up?" Bubbles asks.
"I-I just.. I don't know if I can do this."
"Hey hey, let's not go there again.. You can do this. You proved you can do this. Don't let the nerves get to you. You got this. Ok?"
Reluctantly she nods, taking a deep breath.
"Ok.. thanks Bubbles."
"No problem." She says smiling.
"Alright everyone, huddle up!" Blossom says.
Everyone gathers around her and joins hands.
"Ok, our second concert, we're on a good path, we won the last one and we can win this one."
"Yeahhh let's kick some JoJo ass." Buttercup smirks.
"I don't know guys.. I heard them practicing yesterday and they sounded really good." Bubbles doubts.
"Don't doubt us Bubbles.. And what were you doing at their practice?" Blossom asks.
"Not important."
"Anyways, let's make this count. We practiced hard, let's show our fans what we can do!"
They do their chant and seperate, drinking water and warming up.
"Utonium's, you're on."
"Good luck ladies, I'll see y'all after the concert!" Diajah says, walking out.
"Ok girls, let's do this." Blossom says walking out, the rest of the girls following.
As they stand on the trap ready to rise up, they bump into the boys.
"Oh, ladies, fancy meeting you here." Brick smirks.
"What are you guys.." Blossom begins to ask.
"We were told to come to the trap, so I guess we're rising up together." Brick explains.
"Now who would tell them stupid shit like that?" Buttercup mutters.
"Do you always need to have an attitude sweetheart?" Butch asks raising an eyebrow.
Buttercup was about to respond when the man in charge of the trap ushered them on.
Bubbles steals a quick glance at Bommer, him doing the same.
He smiles at her and she smiles back, mouthing "Good Luck."
The trap begins to rise and the crowd goes crazy, seeing both of the groups.
"Nevada let me hear you!" Buttercup hypes, the crowd screaming louder.
"Welcome to our tour.. Get ready." Blossom says smirking.
"Get ready who? Us or the fans?" Butch asks.
"Both." Blossom shrugs.
"You ladies got lucky last time. This time will be different, right Nevada!?" Boomer shouts.
"Oh, we'll see about that.." Robin grins.
"Well.. ladies first." Brick says, crossing his arms.
"Gladly.. Hit it!" Bubbles shouts.
Move your Body- Beyonce
(A/N: For the choreography the song pretty much explains what they're doing lol but if you want a clearer picture, you can refer to the music video!)
Bubbles: 5...3...2011.. Let's move.
-Instrumental-
Shake that ass down (4x)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Wooh!
As the instrumental plays the girls hype up the crowd and dance, twerking and jumping from side to side. Then they get into position with the backup dancers as they start to sing.
Blossom: Mission 1 let me see you run, put your knees up in the sky cuz we just begun, hey! Hey!
The girls start jogging in place and then start doing high knees while making a circle.
Bubbles: Mission 2 this is how we do, jump a couple to right, to the left let's move, hey! Hey!
Buttercup: Mission 3 can you dougie with me? Throw your own lil swag on this swizzy beat hey! Hey!
The girls dougie to the right, to then left making the crowd cheer.
Robin: Mission 4 if you're ready for more! Jump rope, jump rope, lift your feet off the floor, hey! Hey!
They imitate jumping rope from left to right, making the boys raise an eyebrow in amusement.
Blossom: I ain't worried, doing me tonight, a little sweat ain't never hurt nobody!
Bubbles: Don't just stand there on the wall! Everybody just move your body!
All: Move your body! (x4)
Everybody, won't you move your body! (2x)
The girls move from left to right on the beat while doing an "opening a curtain" motion, the crowd following their movements. Then they start doing the cat-daddy. The boys look around at the crowd, a little intimidated.
"Damn.." Mitch mutters.
Robin/Blossom: Can you get me bodied? I wanna be myself tonight. (x2)
Bubbles/Buttercup: Wanna move my body, I wanna let it out tonight, wanna party, wanna dance, wanna be myself tonight, hey!
Bubbles: Mission 5, come here let's go, time to move your little hips Vamanos, Vamanos! Hey! Hey!
The girls then salsa as the beat changes to a Mexican vibe, making the crowd scream. The girls look at the boys smugly and the boys just scowl.
"Just wait.." Brick mumbles.
Robin: Mission 6, bring it back real quick! Do the running man and then you turn around like this, hey! Hey!
Blossom: Mission 7, time to break it down, step and touch do the dancehall sound, hey! Hey!
Buttercup: Mission 8! Feel that heartbeat race! Snap your fingers, snap your feet, just keep up with the pace! Hey! Hey!
As the beat slows, the girls raise their arms in the air and bops to the beat, the crowd doing the same. Then once the beat picks up again they begin jogging in place again.
Robin: I ain't worried, doing me tonight, a little sweat ain't never hurt nobody!
Bubbles: Don't just stand there on the wall! Everybody just move your body!
All: Move your body! (x4)
Everybody, won't you move your body! (x2)
Hey!
The boys can't lie, this song makes them want to dance along too, but they would never admit that. Brick looks at his members and glares at Boomer as he sees him bopping his head slightly to the beat.
All: Can you get me bodied? I wanna be myself tonight(x2)
Blossom/Buttercup: Wanna move my body, I wanna let it out tonight! Wanna party, wanna dance, wanna be myself tonight!
Hey!
Robin: Fellas on the floor, all my ladies on the floor, everybody get ready, to move your body!
Bubbles: Baby all I want! Is to let it go! Ain't no worries, no, we can dance all night!
Blossom: Move your body! That means come closer to me, while we dance to the beat, Move your body!
Buttercup: Now run, to the left, to the left, to the left! Now run to the left, to the left!
Robin: Now run to the right, to the right, to the right! Run back to the right, to the right!
Bubbles: Now run, to the left, to the left, to the left! Now run to the left, to the left!
Blossom: Now run to the right, to the right, to the right! Run back to the right, to the right!
All: Now wave the American flag! Wave the American flag! (x4)
The girls make their way in front of the boys dancing. They wave their hand in the air moving from left to right up and down imitating waving a flag.
Hey!
They finish with a pose, panting and smiling as the crowd goes crazy.
The boys nod their heads and claps too, having a "that was alright", look on their faces.
"And that, is how you do it." Blossom grins, smug written on her face.
"Yeah ok, we know how to work out on our own ginger." Butch smarts, rolling his eyes.
"What'd he say?" Buttercup asks, not believing he just said that.
"Your dance routine was literally a work out, anyone can do that."
"Well.. I know you guys can't, considering you.. Lost last time." Buttercup smirked.
"Oooohhhhhhh." The crowd says.
"You know what? I'll let my actions speak for me, DJ! Spin it!" Butch shouts, looking at Buttercup challengly and smirking at his team mates.
"We can hype up a crowd just as well as you ladies can. We can do it better, actually, just watch."
Party Rock Anthem- LMFAO
-Instrumental-
The instrumental itself is enough to get the crowd super hype, as they start jumping up and down. The boys look at the girls with a "I told you so" look, grinning. The girls glare in return and watch.
"They got somethin up their sleeve and I don't like it.." Buttercup mumbles, crossing her arms.
All of a sudden, a bunch of backup dancers comes from behind, shuffling and being hype, making the crowd even MORE hype!
Butch: Party rock! Yeah… Woo! Lets go!
Boomer: Party Rock is in the house tonight! Everybody just have a good time! And we gon' make you lose your mind!(wooh!) Everybody just have a good time!
Butch: Clap!
Brick: Party rock is in the house tonight!(oh!) Everybody just have a good time! And we gon' make you lose your mind! We just wanna see ya… shake that!
-Dance Break-
Everyone is shuffling and jumping around, except for the girls, that is. Their pride getting in their way. The boys shuffle and dance towards them and around them, making them huff in annoyance.
Butch: In the club, party rock, lookin for ya girl, she on my jock! Non stop when we in the spot! Booty move away like she own the block (wooh!) Where's a drink? I gots to know, tight jeans, tattoo's cuz I'm rock n roll, half black half white domino, gain the money, out the door!
Mitch: Yooo! I'm runnin' through these h-h-h-hoes like drano, I got that devilish flow, rock n roll, no halo!
Both: We party rock!
Mitch: Yeah, that's the crew that I'm reppin'! On the rise to the top, no lead in our zeppelin! (hey!)
Boomer: Party Rock is in the house tonight!(wooh!) Everybody just have a good time!(yeah) And we gon' make you lose your mind! Everybody just have a good time!(let's go!)
Boomer looks to the crowd and starts clapping his hands, and the crowd claps with him to the beat and makes this even more amazing.
Brick: Party rock is in the house tonight! Everybody just have a good time! (I can feel it man!)And we gon' make you lose your mind! We just wanna see ya… shake that!
….
Everyday I'm shufflin'.
-Dance Break-
"This is crazy!" Bubbles yells over the music.
"I know, they weren't kiddin!" Robin agrees.
The girls look to the crowd and see even Diajah turning up to the song.
The girls can't lie, this makes them want to dance along too, but they'll never admit that.
(shufflin', shufflin')
Butch: Step up fast! And be the first girl to make me throw this cash, we gettin money don't be mad! Now stop.
Butch looks at Buttercup and holds his hand up, and tilts his head with a smirk.
Butch: Hatin' is bad.
Mitch: One more shot for us
Butch: Another round!
Mitch: Please fill up my cup
Boomer: Don't mess around!
Brick: We just want to see
Boomer: You shake it now!
Brick: Now you wanna be
Butch: You're naked now!
Female voice: Get up, get down, put your hands up to the sound (x3) put your hands up to the sound, put your hands up to the sound! Get up! (x9) put your hands up to the sound, to the sound! Put your hands up!(x4)
Wooh!
The boys jump up and when they land on the beat drop, confetti shoots out making the girls jump and look around in surprise at all the colors.
All: Party Rock is in the house tonight! Everybody just have a good time! And we gon' make you lose your mind! Everybody just have a good good good time!
The boys link up and wrap an arm around each other's shoulders, jumping up and down and grinning, genuinely having a good time. The girls watch them, a small part of them already accepting defeat.
All: Ooohhh! (put your hands up) Oooohh!(I can feel it man!) Ooooohhh! (put your hands up)
Oooohh! (put your hands up)
(shake that)
Everyday I'm shu-f-f-lin'
-Instrumental fade-
Wooh!
As the boys finish the crowd goes absolutely nuts!
"I'm so voting for them at the end!" One fan screams.
The boys look at the girls smugly.
"Told you." Butch says.
"Give up?" Brick asks, smirking.
The girls glare in response.
They continue with songs, the girls not backing down, but it's clear that the boys brought their A game. Especially with their first performance.
When the time came to vote, it wasn't a huge surprise that the boys took the victory.
When the concert ended, the groups went back to their dressing rooms, the boys being a little more enthusiastic then the girls.
"I knew they had something up their sleeve.." Buttercup mutters closing the door.
"I mean confetti! Really!?"
"Hey, we lost, it happens, it's not the end of the world, we just gotta bring our A game next time." Blossom says, changing out her outfit.
"Damn! I'm sorry but they kicked y'all ass." Diajah says walking in.
"Please don't rub it in.." Buttercup mumbles.
"Sorry!"
"Lets just hurry back to the tour bus, I need a shower." Bubbles says, fanning herself.
"I call dibs after Bubbles!" Robin shouts.
Later on that night
Bubbles pov
I turn on my phone, seeing that it's 2:00 am. I look to my right at Buttercup, Diajah, and Blossom, seeing them asleep and sighing when I hear Robin snoring below me.
I text Boomer hoping he's awake.
'Hey, are you awake?'
I wait for a moment before hearing my phone vibrate.
'Yeah, what's up?'
'Just can't sleep..'
'Me either..'
I bite my lip, thinking. I don't know if he'll be up for it.. I'll ask anyway.
'There's this studio that I saw 5 minutes away, if you wanna go?'
I wait for a moment, already regretting asking him, until I hear my phone vibrate again.
'I'll bring my guitar ;)'
'Great, I'll meet you out in 3 minutes'
I smile and shut off my phone, looking at the girls again and quietly getting out of bed and tiptoeing past them. Once I get past them I let out a quiet breath of relief that none of them woke up, and quietly open the door and step out, closing it softly.
"It looks like you just stole something from there."
I turn around to see Boomer standing there with his hands in his pocket and guitar and on his back.
I roll my eyes and walk up to him.
"Well, shall we get going?"
I nod and start walking towards the studio.
"So.. you really brought your A game today." I smiled.
"Thanks, you girls did too, but there was no way we were gonna take two losses in a row."
"The confetti? Genius." I say, putting up a perfect sign.
"Thank you, can't wait to win next time too." He grins.
"Well, we'll just have to see about that." I tease.
We get to the studio and I'm pleased to find out it's not locked. Thank goodness.. But why isn't it locked? Oh well.
We walk in and I breathe in the studio smell.
"Ahhhh.. I love being in here.. My sanctuary.." I sigh.
"I can tell." Boomer chuckles, sitting down on a bench close to the piano.
"So, do you wanna work on one of the songs we're working on?" He asks, flipping his over his shoulder and tuning it.
"Yeah… I.. I wanna sing 'How Could You'." I say quietly, sitting down next to him.
"Are you.. Sure?" He asks.
I nod in response and take out my phone, standing it up and pressing record.
"Hey, Bubbles here, I'm here with Boomer and I'm gonna be singing a song that he helped me on.. This song is dedicated to someone who.. Didn't deserve my time." I say.
I take a deep breath and look at him to start.
He nods and begins playing the melody.
No ones pov
EMPIRE- How could you- Kiandra Richardson
(A/N: I highly recommend listening to this song, it's so heart touching and one of my favorite heartbreak songs.. Ugh, the feels, even if y'all don't go listen to it, at least read the lyrics, because they are truly deep and heartbreaking)
-Guitar Melody-
As Boomer plays the guitar, Bubbles sways from side to side softly and closes her eyes.
Bubbles: Am I an easy target? Tell me is that how you managed to get in? Doomed before it started.. Cuz you knew I would lead with my heart and not my head. Throwin' off my vibe..you messin with my chakras, this drama's like an opera, this ain't what I signed up for at all.. I thought I was above this, I know this ain't what love is..
Bubbles: How could you!
Make me look so stupid, how'd you get so ruthless?
How could you!
Lie just like your breathin', why is it so easy for you? How could you?
Oooohhhh..~
How could you!
Lie just like your breathin' oohh..
How could you?
Bubbles takes a deep breath, feeling her emotions come out through the song. She refused to cry over him. Boomer looks at her and his eyes sadden a bit.
Bubbles: Just another victim.. Yeah I know that I'm not the only one. Set up for the take down, oh.. Just wash you hands of all this mess when you're done throwin' off my vibe.
Bubbles: You messin' with my chakras, this drama's like an opera, and this ain't what I signed up for..! I thought I was above this, I know this ain't what love is! Oh!
How could you!
Make me look so stupid? How'd you get so ruthless?
How could you!
Lie just like you're breathin, why is it so easy for you?
How could you!
Oooohhh!~
How could you!
Lie just like you're breathin' ooohhh..~
How could you..?
Bubbles opens her eyes, looking at the camera and turning it off.
"Are you gonna post the video? I think it'll get hella views." He comments.
"No.. I uh.. no."
"Are you ok?" Boomer asks.
"Yeah yeah I just.. I needed that.. He's been on my mind a lot lately actually.. Blossom told me when we were in LA that.. He was there too." She tells him.
"No way.."
"Yeah.."
"Well.. he better be glad he didn't run into me, because I would've beat his ass." Boomer grumbles, making Bubbles giggle.
"I have a question though.. If you don't mind answering it." He says.
"Sure go ahead."
"What actually happened between you two anyway? I mean I know he cheated but.. What happened?" He asks.
Bubbles sits there, silent for a while.
"I'm sorry if I overstepped boundaries, you don't have to answer."
".. No, it's ok.. I somehow knew you were gonna ask sooner or later." She says, smiling softly, but it doesn't reach her eyes.
"Bubbles.. You don't have to.. I'm sorry for asking."
"No no it's fine. You've done so much to make me feel better these past couple of weeks, you deserve to know.."
Flashback
Bubbles laid in her bed. Staring at the wall. Tears streaming down her face. One by one.
Looking at her phone again, she opens it and scrolls through the pictures of.. Chad at a club.. With another girl.. Cheating..
Again.
"He promised he would never do this to me again.." She whimpered.
What did she do wrong..?
Was she not good enough?
She sat up and looked at herself in the mirror, the moonlight shining through the window, highlighting her face and body. Her eyes run along her body.
She even dressed up for him.. Bought a whole lingerie set.. For him..
Was she not pretty enough..?
Is it because.. She's a monster?
And he cheated on her with.. That nasty ass, bitch.
Something told her she was up to no good. She would constantly flirt with him.
But she ignored the red flags because she loves him so much..
More tears stream down her face silently, the room becoming colder and colder
She clutches her heart, almost in pain, and leans back on her head board, crying.
She's tried calling him, over and over again, but he wouldn't answer.
"I'm so.. Stupid.." She sobs.
"To think he would ever love me.."
Melanie Fiona- 4AM
(A/N: I'm currently writing this at 4am LOL! This song is ALSO very sad, I highly recommend listening to it)
Bubbles: Sittin here feelin kinda crazy… but not just any crazy.. It's the kind you feel, when you love somebody..
And I know that my baby.. Is callin somebody else baby.. And I can't sit still.. Look how gone it got me..
Bubbles folds her knees into herself and continues to cry. How could he.. Have the heart to hurt someone this bad?
Bubbles: Who knew that my heart could ever bruise…? You see this scar here on my chest…? I'm hurting.. And he don't even care..
It's 4AM and my lover won't answer! He's probably somewhere with a dancer, sipping champagne while I'm in his bed..
It's 4AM and I think I might lose it! This motherf-ker thinkin I'm stupid.. He must've bumped his head.
I only know it's 4AM..
Bubbles crawls to the edge of the bed and throws her legs over, not having the energy to get up entirely. She grips the bed sheets under her and they instantly turn to ice.
Bubbles: Sittin here and I'm getting heated! Pull me up a drink I swear I need it.. I think I'm about..
Bout to hurt somebody..
At this her eyes turn a dark blue color and the room gets even colder, the windows even frosting up with ice. How.. how could he forget?
Bubbles: I swear this man is begging me to leave him! Getting sick of being so mistreated.. Another night without.. Without his arms around me..
Who knew that my heart could ever bruise…? You see this scar here on my chest…? I'm hurting.. And he don't even care..
It's 4AM and my lover won't answer! Probably somewhere with a dancer, sipping champagne while I'm in his bed..
It's 4AM and I think I might lose it! This motherf-ker thinkin' I'm stupid.. He must've bumped his head.
I only know it's 4AM..
Bubbles: I don't deserve this life… I make the perfect wife… And I know loves a sacrifice.. But who's gonna sacrifice for, me and give me all the time that..
Bubbles grips her head and cries more, the hurt unbearable.
Bubbles: Who knew that my heart could ever bruise…? You see this scar here on my chest…? I'm hurting.. And he don't even care..
It's 4AM and my lover won't answer! He's probably somewhere with a dancer, sipping champagne while I'm in his bed..
It's 4AM and I think I might lose it! This motherf-ker thinkin I'm stupid.. He must've bumped his head.
I only know it's 4AM..
Bubbles begins to cry loudly, sobbing and throwing pillows across the room. The emotions she's feeling right now is anger and sadness.
A blizzard starts to surface as her eyes get even darker, temperature dropping below -20 degrees celsius.
"Bubbles! Bubbles!" She hears.
She looks to the frozen doorknob to see it being heated up and then broken, Blossom and Buttercup barging in.
Their breath leaves their body as they see Bubbles sitting on the bed, tear streaks running down her face and the blizzard in the room worsening by the second.
"What the hell!? What happened!" Blossom demands. You can see her breath from how cold it was in the room.
"I-I.. he.." She stutters over her tears.
Blossom curses under her breath and tries to heat up the room.
"What is it Bubbles? Talk to us!" Buttercup pleads, bending down to her level, despite how cold it is in there.
"He.. he.. He forgot.." She whispers, looking into her eyes.
"Who? Who forgot? And forgot what?"
"Chad.." She sobs out, more tears running down her face.
"What happened Bubbles!"
"He forgot.. That today was our anniversary and… a-and he.. He cheated on me Buttercup.. He cheated again.. He cheated! How could that bastard do this to me!" She cried, hitting her bed.
The door began to struggle as the wind and snow get stronger and stronger, as well as the windows which are completely frozen.
"Bubbles.." Blossom whispers, pulling her into a tight hug.
Bubbles cries into her shoulder, gripping her tightly.
"That bastard!" Buttercup yells, hitting the floor, making it crack from the force.
"Bubbles.. I need you to calm down ok..? I know.. I know you're hurting but.. You need to calm down.." Blossom speaks softly, rubbing her back.
Bubbles sniffles and hiccups, eventually calming down enough for the blizzard to stop. Blossom instantly starts heating up the room and her sisters.
"How… how could he do this to me.." Bubbles whispers in pain, looking at her sisters.
"What did I do.. To deserve this..?"
Blossom and Buttercup's heart clench.
"Nothing. You did nothing, Bubbles.. Ok? Understand that.. What he did was his choice. You had nothing to do with his decision." Blossom states, wiping the tears off her face softly.
"It's gonna take everything in me not to kill that bastard.." Buttercup seethes, eyes glowing jade green.
"Buttercup, the floor." Blossom says.
Buttercup looks down to see the cement cracking from clutching it so hard.
"Sorry.. We can't let him get away with this Blossom."
"There's nothing we can do Buttercup. We may be her sisters, but this is her situation. She's mature enough to handle it on her own."
"Yeah.. I.. I'm done.. With him.. For good." Bubbles sniffles, wiping her eyes.
Her sisters nod in agreement, hugging her tightly.
That night was the first night in a long time, they all slept in the same bed.
The Next Day
Bubbles was in the studio, waiting for Chad to come, like he said he was. To pass time she was just singing some tunes, calmly.
Last night's episode was the worst.. She hasn't blown up like that since..
She lets out a breath.
Last night was the final straw.
And she loved him so… so much. Still does.
But she can't be with him. She can't do this anymore.
It's gonna hurt her to see him walk away.. But she needs to do this.
The door to the studio opens and her heart rate picks up as she sees Chad walk in, with a bouquet of flowers and chocolate.
At any other time she would swoon at his actions.
But not this time.
He walks into the recording booth and plants a kiss on her cheek.
On the inside she gags in disgust.
"Hey baby, you sounded nice. You look nice too." He compliments, smiling.
"I am.. So, so sorry baby. I know I forgot our anniversary yesterday, but I was super busy with work, I totally forgot! You know how it get! I'll make it up to you, I promise. It won't happen again." He says, giving her the gifts with an apologetic look.
Liar.
She ignores the gifts.
"You're right.. It won't"
"W-what..? Bubbles?"
She walks up to the mic, and looks at the producer.
"Play the music."
I'd Rather Go Blind- Beyonce
-Instrumental-
Bubbles: Somethin' told me.. It was over…~
(Yeah)
Bubbles: When I saw you and her.. Talking..
She looks back at him with a look. And he knew.. He knew, she knew.
Bubbles: Somethin deep down! In my soul, said cry girl..
(Cry girl!)
Bubbles: When I saw you and that girl. Walking around.. Ohh..!~
I would rather! I would rather go blind, boy.. Then too see you walk away, from me child no, no..
She looks back at him again and her eyes begin to tear up. The amount of love she has for him..
Bubbles: Oohh!~ So you see, I love you so much! That I don't wanna watch you leave me baby.. Most if all! I just don't, I just don't wanna be free nooo.. Oohh!~ Oohh!~ I was just!~ I was just! I was just, sittin' here thinkin'.. Of your kiss, and your warm, embrace.. Yeah..
Chad looks at her in shock, because he knows what she's saying..
She's breaking up with him..
Bubbles looks at him as tears start rolling down her face, shaking her head.
Bubbles: When a reflection, in a glass, that I held to my lips now baby..
(Yeah, yeahhh)
Bubbles: Revealed these tears that are oooon my face.. Ooohh!~ And baby! And Baby! Baby! I'd rather be blind boy! Then to see you, walk away! Walk away from me! Yeahh! And baby! Baby! Baby! I'd rather be blind boy! Then to see you walk away, walk away from me!
(Baby baby baaabyyy)
She watches as he leaves, slamming the door on his way out.
More tears drop from her eyes.. This hurt more than she expected it too. But she finally did it.
A person who was playing an instrument gave her a tissue and she thanked her, wiping her eyes.
"That was beautiful.." She complimented.
"Thank you.."
"You know, there's this busking session happening later on tonight, I think you should sing this song."
"Hm.. yeah.. I guess I will. This song let a lot off my chest.. I'll be there." She says smiling.
Later that night at the busking session
"Give it up for Ms. Lady!"
The crowd cheers as the woman walks off stage smiling.
"Next up, we have a very special appearance, please welcome, Bubbles from the Utonium's!"
The crowd cheers as Bubbles walks on stage.
She smiles and grabs the mic, hooking her phone up to the speaker when she was interrupted.
"Bubbles! Bubbles please! Give me one more chance!' Chad shouts desperately, making his way through the crowd.
She looks up surprised.
Bubbles notices he has a busted lip and a black eye.
He must've stopped by the house and ran into Buttercup..
"Bubbles please don't do this! I love you! Please!"
Bubbles looks around at the crowd, then back at him.
"Chad, you're causing a scene. Please leave." She says sternly.
"No I won't leave without you! Please.. I need you.."
Bubbles stares at him.
Any other time she would've fell for this. His.. His ridiculous shinanigans
But not. This. Time.
She plugs in her phone and plays the music, looking him dead in his eyes.
If he didn't get the message privately, he'll sure as hell get it publicly.
"This goes out to all my ladies who've dealt with a cheating man, or a man who didn't treat them right. This song is dedicated to my EX boyfriend, Chad. The lying, cheating son of a bitch.."
Layton Greene- Myself
Bubbles: Ooohhh~... Ooohh wooaahh..~
Bubbles: I remember feeling like I wasn't good enough.. Had me questioning myself I wasn't sure enough.. Had me looking in the mirror, tryna analyze my figure, I ain't perfect, you want perfect so that figures.
Bubbles: You always put me in a bad place (Oohh) said we were movin at a fast pace (oohh) It was all my fault.. (fault) I fell in love too hard..
She looks back at Chad and looks him in his eyes.
Bubbles: I loved you, when I didn't love myself. (Yeah, yeah) Said you loved me, but you only loved yourself.. You rocked me so hard, you played all your cards right. You played with my heart I might.. I might not be the same way..
Blossom and Buttercup come rushing into the crowd, warning Bubbles that Chad was on his way. But they are surprised to see her singing to him, a look of not only sadness, but anger in her eyes as she sings to him.
Bubbles: You were walkin' in the door, you wasn't sayin hi.. (hi) You were walkin out the door, you wasn't sayin bye-bye, oohh-oohh, seems like you only got that way, when things ain't go your way (Oohh) How could you tell me that you love me and behave this way? (mmm)
Bubbles: Sometimes I don't, know how I survived.. You picked me up, you threw me in the sky.. And when I fell you let me hit the ground.. (oohh) Yeah I still felt, alone with you around..
Bubbles: I learnt my lesson (lesson), yeah shit got hectic (hectic), but all in all this experience, it was a blessing yeah, you taught me patience(patience) can't skip the basics (basics), seems like you only wanted me for the sensation yeah..
Bubbles closes her eyes and smiles bitter sweetly. She lost the love of her life. Forever.
Bubbles: I remember all the lies.. All the nights you made me cry yeah.. When you controlled my mind.. Had me wishin I would die yeah.. (Had me wishin I would die!)
The crowd gasps softly, feeling bad, some of them even tearing up. Bubbles opens her eyes again, tears in them as she looks at Chad again,
Bubbles: You will never know how I feel.. I gave my all to you, my love was real baby.. But you didn't love me..
Bubbles: You didn't love meee!~
Bubbles: I loved you, when I didn't love myself. Said you loved me, but you only loved yourself. You rocked me so hard, you played all your cards right.. You played with my heart I might.. Might not be the same way, might not be the same B...
When she finishes, the crowd starts clapping and cheering, some wiping tears from their faces.
Suddenly her sisters come on the stage and hug her, proud.
Chad watches, not knowing how to accept the fact that she's actually done with him.
He walks away, ignoring the stares he's getting.
He's gonna get her back.
She still loves him.
And she will forever love him.
Bubbles watches him leave, feeling like a weight was lifted off her shoulders.
She hugs her sisters back, and smiles.
End of Flashback
Bubbles looks at Boomer, unshed tears in her eyes.
"Oh Bubbles.." He pulls her into a hug, she sniffles and laughs lightly pulling away.
"Don't, that's gonna make me cry even more dumb dumb. Besides, that was a while ago.."
"I know but.. I don't like seeing you like this. This just makes me want to kick his ass even more now."
"Don't, Buttercup did enough of that already." She chuckles.
"It's getting late, we should head back.." She suggests, getting up, Boomer doing the same.
"Hey.. thanks for opening up with me. I really appreciate it. And if you ever need to tell me something, don't be afraid to tell me, ok?" He says.
Bubbles nods and smiles, watching him walk out.
Her smile fades a bit.
He says she can tell him anything but.. She can't.
If he ever found out about her past.. And how she's a monster he'd.. Never speak to her again.. And she doesn't know how she would be able to handle that..
She shakes her head and follows him out, closing the door.
She hopes he never.. Finds out.
With the UA's
The UA's are in Nevada as well, but promoting their own group. Appearing at showcases and what not.
But right now, they're discussing their plan and how they're going to take action.
"Uuuggghhh can't we just get Princess to find highly skilled FBI agents and get information on them? I don't want to wait two months. I want them out now." Brat growls.
"Patience sister.. This is needed. Two months gives them enough time to get closer." Berserk explains.
"And why in the hell would you want that!?" Brute butts in.
"Hush!.. Because.. The closer they get, the more torn apart those whores will be once we ruin their lives and reveal whatever secret they're hiding.. Dumbass."
"And plus, that gives little Chadeo time to have a little fun, even though I know he's gonna fail. We get information we need and we get to keep the money, it's a win-win! It's gonna be fun watching him fail." She adds, snickering.
"...I still don't like.. Get it." Princess confesses, popping gum.
"Why'd we let her in the group again?" Brute asks, rolling her eyes. Princess glares at her and rolls her eyes too.
"Ugh..we need to let them get closer to our boyfriends, so Chad fails at trying to get Bubble Bitch back, and we can get the information that we need, so that when we reveal who they really are, and it will tear them apart, because I know the boys would want nothing to do with them. And then we can have them alll to ourselves. Maybe even steal those bitches fans while we're at it. Again, it's a win-win situation." Berserk explains.
"Oooohhh!" Princess says, understanding now.
"Brat, you still have those videos right?" Berserk asks, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Don't remind me.. Yes I still have them." Brat sighs.
"Perfect.."
"I'm just wondering why we can't just post them already."
"Because, we need to show the videos, when we expose them. It'll add fuel to the fire." Berserk explains smirking.
"What if their secrets are that they were prostitutes? Ha! The boys definitely wouldn't want to be around them then!" Princess cackles.
"Mitch is still with you isn't he.." Brute snorts.
"Uh! Rude! You're such a bitch!" Princess fumes.
"Ai.. I'm stuck with idiots.." Berserk mumbles shaking her head.
"Berserk.. I hope your plan works.." Brat says, looking at her.
"Oh trust me.. It will sister." She reassures evilly.
"It will…"
