Bubbles saw the note on the bulletin board, and was filled with glee. She pulled on Boomer, and he looked over at the sign.
"Look Boomie! A dance!" she said, "You think you can go?"
"We'll have to see love." He said, "Looks like it's the same day as Butch's game."
"You think he'll be able to play?"
"Depends on ma's mood. She didn't like what she heard."
"I don't think Buttercup will able to go."
"I think that she should." Boomer said,
"Why?" Bubbles said, "'Cause the professor would've did the same thing in that situation? Or because you think Kim deserved to get beat up?"
"Both." He said, smirking. He saw Brick and called him over. When he saw Bubbles, he got an evil look on his face, and Boomer hoped to God that Brick wasn't going to do what he thought he was going to do.
"Dude, you going to the dance?"
"No. Me and Blossom were going somewhere else." He said, "Don't tell her, but I was taking her to the beach after the game."
"Just the two of you?" Bubbles said, a grin crossing her lips, "That sounds so romantic. Which beach?"
"Statesville." He said, and then smiled. "Boomer and you plan on going to the dance?"
"Of course. I'm sure Buttercup would too, seeing how much she likes a good party." Bubbles said, "Too bad Kim and her temper messed it up for her."
"And Butch." Boomer added, smirking.
"And Brick." Another voice said, and it was Blossom, standing there with a smirk plastered on her face.
"Where did Brick come from?" Boomer asked, both out of curiosity, and confusion.
"I was going to stop them from fighting, but Brick held me back." She said, "Seemed like Butch needed some help, the way Buttercup was thrashing about."
"Anger blinds Buttercup and Butch's eyes like the dark of the night." Brick said, putting his arms around her waist tightly, landing a peck on her cheek "And I was happy that I held you back."
Blossom giggled, and then returned his kiss with a soft kiss on the lips. Bubbles smiled at her sister, and Boomer rolled his eyes good naturedly at them, but someone not too far away, watched them with jealousy burning through her heart like a raging fire. Jamie Smith, (of the criminally insane Smith Family) wanted so badly to be with Brick but didn't want to risk her life for him. *After what happened to her in Kindergarten, after she, Kim and Mary boldly tried asserting themselves on the boys the wrong way, she wasn't up for it. But seeing Mary and Kim go after them, made her want to gag. They're both fighting their girlfriends over them, and all their doing is getting played.
"What they need to do is move on." She thought to herself, but if Mary and Kim want to go after the inevitable, it's their funeral.
"And I'll be waving their wills in their face while their getting f_cked up." Jamie thought with a smirk.
Butch walked inside the detention room, saw Kim sitting in the front. He sucked his teeth and then gave the male teacher the paper. Sitting on the other side of the room, he felt Kim staring at him. He turned his head to the other side and laid his head on his desk, with a good intention of falling asleep, since it was the only thing he could do. He suddenly saw himself in a room, with Buttercup straddled on top of him. He thought that she was going to 'rock his world, but she was punching the living hell out of him, while talking about some other woman. He also saw that she was enjoying it. The next minute, they were making love. It was wild and intense, and needless to say, Butch liked it. Suddenly, the bell rang, and the dream that he had shattered into bits.
"Sh_t." he muttered, as he woke up to reality. He saw Kim standing over him, with a smile, and he jumped up, and ran off, trying to keep herself as far away from her as he could.
Kim stood there, and then smirked to herself. She was determined to get with Butch Plutonia even if it was the last thing she did. Even if it was for one second, she didn't care.
"You think all of that came with the family determination?" she heard someone say with a hint of sarcasm. She turned to see her Adam standing next to her, waiting for her to walk to class with him. She smirked, knowing full well what he was talking about.
"Maybe. You haven't given up on Blossom." She said, shaking her head. "I don't know what you see in that conceited little wench."
"Don't worry about it. We all know why almost every girl in Townsville High wants Butch."
"And why is that?" Kim asked, challenging her cousin,
"Easy. He's a rebel, he's outgoing, and all you girls sware that he's bigger than your father's and brother's put together."
Kim blushed, and then smacked her cousin on the arm. "What's this I hear? Adam catching up on gossip?"
"No. You can damn all of that. I just pay attention to these things. That's all you hear around here is Butch's name. I just hope that you learn to get over him."
Kim looked at Adam and laughed out loud. "That sounds like good advice from someone who obsesses over conceited chicks."
"Suit yourself. You like getting f_cked up for nothing so why should I stop you. But if you noticed, I haven't been poking at Blossom."
"You might try."
"I'm not stupid." Adam said, "I've seen dudes get beat up over the Powerpuff girls, and that's a deadly son of a b_tch that they have to go through."
"Whatever." Kim said, as they walked inside their next class. She sat down, and thought of her cousin's advice. He was mostly right, but she wasn't ready to admit that he was right yet. She still had the it was only October, and she still might have a chance. "I'll just have to wait this time." She thought, and sighed, wishing that Butch would be hers soon.
Blossom was in biology class, standing in front of a dead rat and her stomach turned over. More unfortunately, Princess was her partner.
"I don't give a damn what you say. I'm not touching that thing at all." Princess said, complaining already.
"This isn't an independent assignment. We both have to touch it."
"I'd be damned if I touch that disgusting thing." She rebutted, cringing inwardly, and outwardly.
"Damned if you do, damned if ya don't. You're gonna end up with a low grade if you don't do it."
"So what? As if I need a job to do anything when I can live off of my father's money."
"Look Morebucks. If you don't do this, I'm going to tell everyone that you like Mitchellson." Blossom whispered, a smirk plastered on her face.
"You wouldn't dare!" she said, with a look of disbelief.
"Oh I would. I mean it's already obvious that you two are a potential couple."
"You can shove that up your ass little Ms. Goody-Two-Shoes."
"Fine. I guess by next period, everyone will know what's up with you two."
Desperate to keep her unknown secret in the dirt, Princess offered to start off the dissection, and Blossom agreed to finish it. Blossom wasn't sure truthfully that Princess liked Mitch, but she was sure that Mitch liked Princess. (She has connections from Molly. She tells her and Bubbles about these things, because she pays attention to them.) But Blossom was going to make sure that by the end of the year, Mitchellson and Morebucks were a couple.
She figured that it would be a great accomplishment, because it would be a hard task. Other than that… "Everyone deserves a chance at love." She thought wistfully, having the urge to see her boyfriend again.
Likewise, Brick was in Math class, taking the same test Butch had taken the day before, but unlike Butch, he was going through it with relative ease. He couldn't wait to see that gleaming 100 on the top of every bulletin board as usual, making himself, and his significant other be washed away in pride. He glanced around the room, and saw Julie passing notes with some other boy in the room.
"Julie's spoken for?" he thought, almost amazed. She thought that she was going to obsess over him, but it seems that she found a boy to call her own.
"It'd be nice if her friends would follow her example." He thought, smirking. The fight was still fresh in his mind, and he wasn't finished enjoying every punch, pull, kick, scream, and bite. Buttercup truly did have a temper, and he enjoyed watching her take it out on someone. He chuckled, remembering how *she punched him back in Kindergarten when they had went wild over the substitute teacher.* Brick knew right then, that Buttercup took crap from no one, and he was happy that he would have her for a sister in law when the time came.
Suddenly, he saw himself in a hospital room, *standing next to Blossom who was laying in a bed, holding a baby with crimson eyes like his. The look on Blossom's face was pure joy, and at the moment they were thinking up a name for the child. They had finally agreed to call the baby boy Brick Jr. Then the rest of the family came, and shared the joy of their first born son coming into the world.*
"BRICK PLUTONIA! PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR TEST PAPER!"
Brick jumped in shock, as the scene that was before him disintegrated, and he was back in his present surroundings. The kids around him were laughing, and he caught on to what was going on, and gave up the paper with a sheepish grin.
"Wait 'til Blossom gets a load of this." He thought to himself, wondering how he could've seen the vision, and why. He was sure that Blossom would have a logical answer, and he wanted to know what the answer to seeing ten years in the future was about. And he was curious to know soon.
