Blossom
Well this was a sight. The Rowdyruff boys in their house? The tension could be sliced with a knife, even the blues were awkward about the situation. Oh how she'd wished that they could have been present during the meeting. But both of their caretakers decided to inform them afterwards. What didn't they want to share with them?
"Whelp, since everyone is quiet. Me thinks it's time for Butch to save the day."
Butch smiles proudly, "oh shut up asshole. If anything you are only saving your sorry excuse for an ego. Even then I don't think there is any hope for saving that. Your talking as we speak already gives me a damn headache." Buttercup pinched the bridge of her nose in irritation.
"Whatever woman, you know you like it." Her sister gave him a death glare before making a cut motion with her finger across her neck. The Green Ruff only seemed to enjoy it more.
"Butch if I were you I would be quiet, I mean you still have a bump on your head from her outburst today."
Boomer tried to warn his brother and that only seemed to add to her sister's ego. "Ya dumbass listen to Baby Blue. You could learn a thing or two from him which will save you in the long run."
The Red Ruff sighed at this whole ordeal, "they must be counterparts.." He mumbled under his breath. Blossom covered her mouth as she laughed softly at his remark.
"Baby blue? Why am I Baby Blue? Isn't Bubbles color baby blue? Mine is a royal blue."
The Blue Ruff slumped in his seat and gave a pouty face. "No no, I am sky blue. There is a difference when it comes to the shades."
Bubbles put her finger up in A Matter of Fact way but glared at Buttercup when she snorted. "Of course you would know that Bubs. Mrs. Artist over here constantly fights with her canvas."
Her youngest sister gave an embarrassed look, "that nasty canvas won't cooperate! It is very bad.." The Blue Puff huffed and crossed her arms.
"Who gives a shit about colors!? We are all blues and greens! For those two-" Butch points in the direction of her and Brick. "I have no idea, one is pink and the other red."
"Would you call them the reds? No right? Maybe the salmons?.."
"Ew no! Oooo! They look like Valentine colors!"
"Double ew! No lovey dovey shit here!"
"ENOUGH!" All flinched at the Ruff leader's command, even she jumped. A true leader only used that tone and expression. Was that what her sisters meant when they called it "leader mode" on her part?
"Who cares about what to call us?! No matter what color we supposedly are represented by, we are still just the Rowdyruff boys and the Powerpuff girls."
Each side agreed and stood silent. Brick then relaxed and softly nudged her arm with his elbow. "Would now be a good time to bring up the matter of truce we discussed?"
Blossom smiled and laughed a bit, "Of course, seeing as you made such an authoritative statement." He looked flustered as he cleared his throat.
"What do you mean truce? What is he talking about Leader Girl?"
Why did her sister look mad or more or less peeved? "During our project session we both came to an agreement of truce between both parties. Since we all will be working together, it is best if there are no fights amongst each other. Greens I am looking at you two especially." The two flinched and looked away from her stern expression. "You two need to learn to control yourselves."
"Alright Bow I think that's enough scolding them. In your case, looks will definitely turn them into popsicles." Brick snickered a bit.
"Oh hush Ruff, at least I won't barbecue them like you would have."
"Bow? Ruff? What the!-"
The Green Puff began to protest but Bubbles pushed her face away. "Aww! That's cute! Nicknames are key to a friendship!"
"Or key to love-sick a Powerpuff..." Buttercup muttered under her breath and Bubbles gave her a side look. She even felt her cheeks heat up at her sister's comment.
"Sisters..let's drop the nickname subject for now and continue with the truce."
Her green sister sighed but agreed nonetheless. "Alright alright, I'm fine with the truce if it will make Butch stop patronizing me.."
"I am fine with it also, of course only to get closer to Butters." The Green Ruff smirked and snickered at Buttercup's angry blush.
"I am also fine with it, honestly I think it's about damn time." The Blue Ruff said that more to Brick if anything.
"Yay! We are finally all friends now! I am going to make friendship bracelets! Oh no! I will make sweaters! Wait! I'll paint a picture!-"
Aaaand there goes her sister's rambling plus fangirling. Oh was she going to hear it all night...
"Bow, I took writing the truce statement into my own hands. Here." A paper was given to her and..Oh my gosh! It looked so official. Is that a fake seal? How did he!?-
"See when you are in art class, you learn a thing or two about design." Brick looked very proud of himself and she had to admit, this result was amazing! Note to herself if anything needs to be designed for the student council, she knows who to contact.
"Oh! That looks so nice Brick! Though it wouldn't surprise me with what amazing artwork you do in class!" Her baby sister let out a soft giggle as she peaked at the statement's design.
"Wait, you have art class with Fireboy?" Buttercup looked shocked, "Wait, Fireboy can draw!?"
"Hell ya woman! Big Bro is the best artist!"
Butch praised his brother which made the Ruff leader tilt his cap down to cover his face. Probably to hide that obvious blush. Blossom thought it was cute of Butch to love his brothers work.
"ANYWAY, besides the design, does the statement in general sound adequate?"
Reading over the well written statement, surprisingly detailed as well. She approved of it. It was simple but explanatory enough for all to understand. Perhaps they would discuss and go further in-depth with regulations later.
"This is perfect Ruff thank you. As for you four, please read and sign at the bottom acknowledging your understanding and agreement of this truce."
Blossom handed the paper to Bubbles in which she signed happily with her glitter pen. The paper was passed around in a circle as the rest of them decided to sign with a normal pen. The leaders being the last ones to sign was only fair. "With this signing, it is now official that both Rowdyruffs and Powerpuffs are to work together and no longer fight against each other. But instead work together to defeat the forces of evil."
A few years back, this wouldn't even be possible or even thought of. The Powerpuff girls and the Rowdyruff boys working together? That would have sounded insane! Surprisingly, all of them were content with this decision.
"Yes Professor, I believe that would be the most logical decision."
Both of their caretakers walked into the living room from the Professor's lab. From the looks on their faces, their meeting seemed to be very serious. This only made her worry even more.
"Well let's see how the six of them react to this news.." The Professor replied in a sigh.
"What news exactly?" Of course Buttercup was the first to question.
"Listen, we understand you all's hatred for each other. But both of us think it is best for you all to become one team to stop-"
"Hold the thought weasel, we already beat you to that solution." Brick stood up and walked to both before handing them the truce document.
Both looked baffled as they read it. "Y-you..when did this occur?" Dr. Weasel gave the Red Ruff a confused look. "Right now actually, we all just made it official."
Everyone smiled and some even saluted. Professor and Dr. Weasel exchanged looks before clearing their throats. "Well I think that is splendid. But other than that, we must discuss why you all must work together."
This caught everyone's attention and definitely made her listen closely. "Children..If you were not aware of this already, the demon HIM has resurfaced recently." Her sisters did not look happy at all at this. "It has only shown itself to taunt us or deliver a message."
"Deliver a message? What kind of message?.." Blossom questioned as she was now even more worried, if not scared of their silence.
"It left a message to you all..It said-"
"Traitors will perish in three. The genius will guarantee. Heroes will fall beneath the surface. Old faces will be of service."
"What!? Traitors? Genius? Old faces!? What the hell is that supposed to mean!?" Butch protested and all looked puzzled. Blossomdid not understand at all what that demon was trying to threateneither.
"We are not sure either Butch, butthe situation isgoing to be dealt with. As for the taunting, it hasn't done much damage yet. But itis still causing a panic to the citizens, so we must act quickly." The doctor had a very serious expression.
"Dr. Weasel, should we all keep an eye on him as well as try to spy on him for some answers?" Bubbles questioned as she looked very scared. She wouldn't blame her, HIM is the most dangerous menace in Townsville. It is an entity that is no joke.
"Yes, but that brings us to the rules of this new partnership. One, no one is allowed to go on patrol alone or ever even be alone. Please try to stay in pairs at all times, the only exception is school. Two, inform us of any information and don't leave anything out. Finally, most importantly, work as one and no fighting!" Professor commanded this of them.
"Also! Tomorrow I will be giving you all your newequipment." The doctor looked very proud at that statement as he took out sketches of designs. Wait, why did those sketches look familiar? "Brick assisted me with the designs for your new outfits and the technology in them."
All eyes then turned to look at Brick as he turned crimson. She was quite impressed, not only was Brick an artist. But he was much like an architect or designer of machinery.
"After school please meet me at the boys house. I will send the address now." The doctor took out his phone and typed quickly before everyone's phones went off.
"Now that that is taken care of, the meeting has come to a close." Dr. Weasel turned to the boys, "please be home by a decent hour. Remember, no going out alone." He then patted the Professor's arm and made his way out. Professor only followed him to say a proper goodbye.
"Whelp, I think it's time for me to go beat some bad guys at home on my console." Butch stood up and stretched.
"Again with that game? You are so addicted! Besides, you cheated last time!" Boomer protested and stood up as well.
"I did not! It's not my fault you were in the way of me throwing the controller!" The Green Ruff yelled out and stared his younger brother down.
"Oh it is so your fault! You green gremlin!"
The two were in each other's faces. Blossom turned to look at the Red Ruff's expression and- Oh! Oh no! Is this what Butch meant by Fire Demon?!
"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!" And his brothers definitelydid shut up. In fact, both turned pale and sat right back down. Brick sighed and took off his cap to cool down.
"Ruff, are you alright? If you need the temperature to get cooler, that could be arranged." She tried to sound serious but couldn't help but joke a bit to lighten the mood. He chuckled a bit and leaned back at his seat.
"It's ok Bow, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't want a winter wonderland in here."
Of course she laughed at that, it was a good joke! Though she wasn't liking the smug looks on her sisters faces.
"But we really should be heading off home. I still have homework to do. I guess I'll see you girls tomorrow then?" Brick stood up and placed his cap back on his head where it belonged.
"For sure Fireboy." Buttercup saluted him and waved. Bubbles smiled happily and did the same.
The Red Ruff turned to her and smiled a bit, "Goodnight Bow." For some reason she felt her chest grow tight. The three boys then headed to the door, which Blossom followed them to close the door after. "Goodnight boys, be careful!" Brick's wave only made her chest feel weirder. She closed the door quickly and turned to her sisters. Complete silence.
"So if no one is going to address the elephant in the room, then I will." Buttercup stood up and headed to where she was and clapped her hands together. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?"
"What are you talking about?" Blossom was confused and even felt somewhat concerned now that Bubbles walked over.
"Blossy, you two were messing with each other. If not, I'm pretty sure that was flirting but you will not accept that so." Her youngest sister looked smug as she giggled.
Why those two!- She was not flirting! They were just exchanging jokes and getting along like everyone wanted! Blossom would never get a break at this point.
"We were simply just getting along."
The two puffs were not buying it as they both smirked and snickered. "Oh hush! You two are just as bad!" She stormed off into her room and shut the door. Her sisters were such- Why did the world choose to torment her? They were still making fun of her, she could hear them laughing downstairs. Oh those two were such brats!
"Goodnight lover girl!"
Her green sister yelled out as Blossom blushed. No no! She was not going to let this teasing get to her! Ruff- She meant Brick and her were just friends! Friends huh?..She still had to get used to that. Either way, Blossom knew that tomorrow would be an eventful day.
