How to Get Rid of the Bubbly Warm Feeling...ONESHOT!...

Ok, maybe it's actually going to be a two-shot.

Buttercup was in her room, laying down on her plush carpet. There was a lot going on in her mind. And there was this warm and bubbly feeling whenever she caught sight of or thought about her counterpart. It all started about a week ago, during lunch break in the school cafeteria.

She and her sisters were sitting down at their usual table with the Rowdyruffs accompanying them. That would have been chaotic about nine months ago, but ever since Bubbles had started to grow fond of Boomer, and then the two of them eventually started dating, the Rowdyruffs were automatically into their group.

They had let go of their crime life about a year ago claiming it was becoming too boring and predictable, too easy, nowadays.

Blossom and Brick were still trying hard to simply be civil around each other for the sake of their siblings, but for the last four months, they`d actually started to get along. There were more smiles and laughs, but this time they were genuine. And it was no mistaking that Brick would occasionally flirt for a little moment, and then Blossom would blush and say something just as sassy back.

Buttercup rolled her eyes at the thought of them. They were bound to realize it and get together one day. But things between her and Butch were different. Butch was not a super adorably sweet person like Boomer, nor was he a cool, expressionlessly calm person like Brick who only showed his other side to his siblings and his counterpart.

Butch was open to everyone and Buttercup usually droned out half his words at the lunch table due to his constant blabbering about which girl did what today, how many girls he`d eyed, how each girl was, blah blah blah.

While Boomer complimented his counterpart and kept her in their own little bubble full of hugs and kisses and Brick was in his own little world arguing about something silly with Blossom and maybe tossing in a couple of comments that made her gape at him in shock while her cheeks tinged pink, Butch was always yakking on about every other girl in the school except Buttercup, who usually just rolled her eyes and droned out his words as she ate her lunch like it was routine and then got up and left.

His brothers, mostly Boomer, always nagged at him to go make the first move, but he always just shrugged it off...well, in front of her, anyway.

But then about a week ago, during lunch, Princess had just come up to their table snickering and plopped down next to Brick, stroking his arm as she got ready to give her speech. Blossom crossed her arms as she awaited her nonsense while Brick wrinkled his nose out of disgust and scooted away from Princess, closer to Butch.

"Well, my daddy is going to throw a HUGE house party just for me, and guess what?"

All six of the superpowered teens rolled their eyes, even Butch. He had this annoyed expression cross his face ever since Princess had arrived.

"I HAVE to have the three most hottest boys ever at my party. What would my reputation even BE if I DIDN'T invite them?"

"Dirt," Bubbles muttered. Boomer and the rest of the table almost cracked up at this, but they managed to keep a straight face. Princess scowled at her.

"Hmph," she huffed," Well, ANYWAYS, I still need a date, and there isn't a way to take all three of you together, so one lucky boy will get to be my date."

"Pfft, lucky," Buttercup muttered," More like hell".

Princess batted her eyes. Boomer immediately refused, linking arms with Bubbles. Princess clung on to Brick, who instantly said no. "But Bricky, you have to come," Princess whined.

Blossom looked ready to barf at the mention of "Bricky."

"I know."

Blossom turned to look at the boy with a disapproving frown.

"And you can't come without a date," Princess pressed.

"Exactly."

"And?"

"Well, duh, I'm going. But not with you, obviously," and then Brick made sure to lock eyes with Blossom and gave her a pointed look before winking.

Blossom almost instantly understood and widened her eyes as she quickly looked down at her lap, trying to hide the blush that was dusting her cheeks. Obviously, Princess didn't notice.

"But whyyy?" she whined.

Brick shook her off his arm and pushed her off before shrugging and picking up his sandwich. "Sorry," he said simply as he closed his eyes and took a bite. Princess turned to look at Butch, who scrunched up his face and looked at her like she was crazy.

"Hell, no!" he cried. Princess scowled at him. "Then which lousy slut are you gonna go with? Her?" she demanded haughtily, pointing at the green puff next to him. Buttercup rolled her eyes. "Ha ha, Princess," she muttered," Nice joke."

"Know what, Princess, that's not a bad idea."

Buttercup choked on her juice as Boomer smirked, giving Butch a pointed look."

"WHAT?!" Princess screeched. "What?!" Buttercup demanded. "There's nothing even going ON between you two!" Princess cried.

"Wanna bet on it?" "Fifty dollars!"

Since the greens were next to each other, Butch turned, lifted her chin with one hand and cupped her face with the other, and kissed her full-on, leaving Buttercup frozen in shock, eyes wide. Princess gritted her teeth and stomped off. "HMPH!" she huffed angrily. Butch continued to kiss Buttercup until they both had to let go for air. When they did, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch, and all the superpowered teens got up, Buttercup more quickly than the others.

Boomer slapped Butch on the back. "Nice call, man," he said, before walking his way to get books for his next class from his locker where Bubbles would be waiting to give him his hourly dose of kisses, since the Blue's were assigned to lockers that were next to each other.

For the rest of the day, Buttercup avoided eye contact with her counterpart, and when she went home, tried to drone out all the squeals and giggles from Bubbles and Blossom, respectively. Buttercup swallowed her bite of banana and gave Blossom a pointed look.

"You should laugh," she said, "Ever wondered who Brick's going with?"

That instantly shut Blossom up as she glared at her sister."Oooh, is Blossom jealous?" Bubbles asked eagerly, pushing up her face right next to her sister's. "No, Ditto," said Buttercup, pushing Bubbles' face away with her hand, "Brick's going with HER. At least, that's what he's planning to do."

Bubbles frowned at Buttercup. "How do YOU know?" she asked suspiciously. "Just watch," Buttercup snorted, "Right, Blossom?" Blossom blushed and frowned. "No," she said.

"Reaally?"

Buttercup made sure to extend he "really" and tried to put it as sarcastic as possible as she floated past her sister up the stairs. "When you feel like chillin', I'll be up in my room," and then Buttercup zipped to her room in a quick flash of green, leaving a streak of light behind her.

And that was Buttercup's new routine for the past week. Wake up, go to school, avoid Butch, fly home, and live through the annoying gossip of your two sisters. Oh, and then flop exhaustedly on your bed after you're done.

Thinking back, the puff wondered why she didn't just push him at the start. I mean, she thought, if it were any other boy, I would've sent him flying across the cafeteria with a black eye and a broken nose. Buttercup would've probably landed herself in a month's worth of detention, but it would've been worth it to send the school a message. Don't try anything with Buttercup Utonium, unless you think you can take her on.

Any person who thought such was sorely mistaken. Except maybe Butch, Buttercup added as an afterthought before yawning.

It was getting late, and besides, she had school in the morning, too. Waking up to Blossom yelling at her in the morning while she was still in bed was not the greatest start to a day. Buttercup yawned again. Don't mess with Buttercup Utonium, she thought. "Except maybe Butch," the puff mumbled softly, before drifting into sleep with a happy smile on her face.
