The week went by pretty fast, both reds were leading up to the projects final days.
The only thing that changed this week, was that student council had started not so long ago. And Blossom of course, was the president of this club. She was always prepared for her duties, and ready for what they were going to do this year.
That club was her safe place for the year, where she could think to herself. No distractions what so ever, or so she thought.
It wasn't the people in that club that bothered her, other than Dexter being vice president. But today, everything would change her once peaceful club.
"Blossom, I have gotten a few more members just like you asked."
Dexter came up to Blossom quite pleased with himself.
"Thank you Dexter, it means a lot. Now we have enough members to help us with the first dance decorations. Let us introduce them, ya?"
Dexter nodded while calling them in. What Blossom wasn't prepared for was to meet one certain new member. He walked through the door with his long hair, and his crimson eyes. Brick.
"Thank you all for coming and joining us, now back onto the topic."
Dexter looked at Blossom to continue the topic, but all she did was stand there frozen. But then realized the tension, and spoke.
"Oh sorry today after school, we will be working on the decorations for the schools first dance such as; streamers, banners, and balloons. The color scheme for the dance is pink and white. So-"
A small laugh was heard from the crowd, and Blossom paused for a moment. She met with two certain crimson eyes, and she then knew it was him. But brushed it aside and continued.
"We only have tonight and tomorrow morning to get this ready, for the dance is tomorrow. So bring those colors after school"
With that the meeting was over. Blossom grabbed her stuff and headed down the hall.
"Red"
Being called she turned around to meet Brick.
"Pink really?"
She wasn't amused at all, but simply just rolled her eyes in return.
"Pink is a nice color for a first dance, if I do say myself."
"Well of course you would say that, your favorite color is pink. Now red is a way better color."
"Is that why you call me red instead of pinkie?"
Brick looked at her with a blank expression, and she just smirked in return. Blossom got close to his face waiting for his answer, but received a hand pushing her face away.
"Hush it red"
After that, both headed to the library. The day went by pretty fast, both puffs and ruffs went through the usual lunch as well.
Having Bubbles with Mandy, Buttercup with her fan group, and Blossom of course with Brick. All led up to the decorating of the dance after school.
The halls were being filled with streamers, and tables were being set up in the gym. Everyone was working together, and Blossom was quite satisfied with this view. While looking around inspecting, she noticed something different. And it was to no surprise to who was behind it.
"BRICK! I said pink and white, not red and white!"
Blossom was annoyed by Brick putting red all over the place. Though knowing him, she should've expected it.
"Ah come one red, isn't the color red romantic!"
Brick said while mimicking her voice and holding his hands together.
"No, I mean yes it is. But its a first dance, not Valentine's Day!"
"Oh ya, well I think you..."
A smirk then plastered across his face, and he soon did something mischievous.
"NEED MORE RED!"
He then got a red steamer, and rapped it around her whole body with his power of speed. Blossom gasped, and struggled to take the streamer off her.
"Brick, you know you know your not supposed to use your superpowers inside!!!"
She then hmped, but got a satisfied ruff in return.
"Well what can I say red, I am a ruff. Its what I do"
Brick teased her further knowing it annoyed her greatly.
"BRICK GET THIS OFF ME!"
He just ignored her and smiled. Blossom face got red with both anger and embarrassment.
"What happened to the serious Brick I used to know? That I met almost a month ago. The one that hated me and wanted nothing more to eliminate me."
Brick stopped and thought for a moment. Did anything happen to him? Did he become soft? But that was impossible, he still felt an urge to get revenge. To be honest the ruff didnt even know his own feelings.
"I don't know red, but to be honest I've been trying to be nice to you. Remember we have a truce for right now."
Blossom relaxed a little and sighed, glancing up she saw Brick wearing his blank expression.
"Can you please help me out of here?"
He stared at her for a moment, then helped her out.
Little did he know, that Blossom had a trick up her sleeve.
"Brick if I need more red, then you need more PINK!"
Blossom splattered pink paint that she had for working on posters, all over Brick's sweater. She laughed while Brick was surprised on what she did.
"Red..."
Blossom looked at him in question, but soon realized that she had ticked of the ruff leader.
"THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SWEATER!"
He started charging at her and not the playful way. Blossom then ran away from him in the opposite direction. Both soon passed each member of the club one by one. Until she reached Dexter.
She tried to hide behind him, moving in circles because Brick tried to grab her.
"Um Blossom what are you doing?"
"Nothing Dexter just trying not to die today."
Blossom then gave up on hiding, so she continued running.
"Dexteryourinchargewhileimgone!"
Dexter just stood there perplexed by the situation that just happened. But soon shrugged it off to get back to work.
Blossom ran for her life, while Brick ran after her angered. He soon grew tired of running and stopped.
"How the hell does she have that much stamina!?"
A idea then popped in his head, and a huge smirk crept its way up on his face. Soon enough, the hall was filled with a red flash of light.
Blossom then stopped for a breath air, oh how she wished she could use her powers. But to her surprise, Brick flew and landing in front of her.
"Well well well, look what we got here?"
Her eyes soon grew big with fear.
"Now Brick, you know I didnt mean it that way"
Blossom sweat dropped while scratching the back of her neck.
"Now you see red, you mess with me. And you end up on the ground."
His faced was filled with a seriousness.
"Brick its just a sweater!"
"It was my favorite one!"
"I'll buy you a new one!"
"Nope now your gonna pay."
Brick then got closer her, but Blossom soon had no choice but to fly away. So she did, and fast too. Brick blinked at her action, but soon got angry and followed her.
The two flew around Townsville, one chasing the other. Thank god for no damage, it was all thanks to Blossom for that.
"OK OK I said sorry!!!"
Brick let go of her shirt, and she fell on the floor. With her landing her butt.
"Jeesh over a stupid sweater."
Blossom mumbled to her self not wanted Brick to hear.
"What was that!?"
"Nothing nothing."
Both soon flew back to the school, and Blossom was pleased with the results.
"This is so beautiful, all of you did a great job!"
Blossom smiled till she saw a little section full of red. She then glanced at Brick, and as if he read her mind. He gave her a cold stare, which she then looked away in defeat.
"OK guys tomorrow is the dance, now let's all have fun!"
All members headed home, and Blossom said her last goodbye to Dexter. And was left with the ruff leader himself.
"Um aren't you going to head home?"
He just gave her his same stare, which Blossom was still wary about it.
"Still mad at me for ruining her favorite sweater?"
Brick just looked away as if he were distracted on something, so Blossom took that as a yes.
"Well I'm going to go home, goodnight Brick see you tomorrow."
Feeling a hand grasp her wrist, Blossom turned around flustered and confused.
"Um Brick..."
"I'll take you home."
So many questions went running around in Blossom's head. Though she did know one thing, by the look of his expression and the way he was acting. Brick wouldn't take no for a answer.
"OK then let's go."
Both ruff and puff flew to the utonium household. Most of the way both were silent and didnt say a word. As they arrived at the house, Blossom still had questions lungering in her mind. But she decided to subside it and say goodbye.
"Goodbye Brick, thanks for taking me home."
"No problem red."
When he answered back, Blossom noticed that he seemed a bit off. Brick was more distance, and didnt really pay attention to her.
As Blossom entered the house, Brick began to fly home himself. Though he seemed to be patrolling the area for something.
When he arrived home, he saw his two brothers sitting on the couch.
"Hey bro, how was student council. Blech."
Brick just ignored Butch and continued to Boomer.
"Fine then be a bitch."
"Shut up Butch, we have more important matter than your feelings!"
Butch grew mad, but brushed it off. Boomer looked up at his older brother in question.
"Boomer where is that darn weasel!?"
"He's upstairs working on an experiment."
With that, Brick flew upstairs and found the weasel. He had his goggles on and looked very concentrated.
"Yo weasel!"
Mr. Weasel then dropped the chemicals he was using. He them glared at Brick in anger.
"What is the meaning of this child!? Can't you see I am busy with a very important experiment!?"
"Shush Weasel!"
Mr. Weasel was quite annoyed with the boy's behavior. What on earth gave him the right to treat him like that.
"How dare y-"
"Bell is back"
All the anger in Mr. Weasel soon went away, and was replace with shock.
"I saw her watching us from a far, and do to be honest. I think she's after red."
