Riding It Out

Chapter Five

~~~*~~~

A/N: This chapter takes place after school hours.

On the way home…(Blossom and Brick)

As the red headed couple walked home, it seemed that they were enjoying every moment they got alone. Besides, with all the extra curricular activities that they both signed up for, they could hardly get two minutes alone. Brick had his arms wrapped her waist and Blossom laid her head on her favorite spot on his shoulder. Seeing that it was a little too quiet, Blossom decided to start a conversation.

"Bricky, how was the math test?" she asked, looking up to see his expression. It took on his normal arrogance, and that told her he aced it.

"Easy. I didn't even have to study." He said, "How was biology?"

"Don't want to talk about it." She said. The thought of the rat made her sick to her stomach. "I wanted to know what possessed me to sign up."

"You're conceitedness." Brick said, to see a flash of anger in her eyes. Needless to say, he was getting turned on. And before he knew it, Blossom had head-locked him.

"If your so hot, break out of this Mr. Arrogant." She said, a smirk glued to her face. Brick knew that he could break out of her hold easily, but he decided to use her to his advantage. He picked up Blossom she screamed, holding on to him as she held on by a piggy back hold. Brick carried her the rest of the way, and when they reached the house, they went around the backyard to the mowed lawn.

Brick then flipped her over, and she ended up on her back. Brick laid on top of her, smirking at her.

"You actually think you can beat me?" he said, and Blossom smirked back.

"I could if I wanted to." She said, and then rolled over so that she was on top. Brick looked at her evilly, and then started to tickle her. Blossom rolled over laughing hard. She laughed so hard that her stomach started to hurt. Brick had let her go, thinking that he tortured her enough. Blossom was on her back and then Brick crawled back on top of her again.

"I thought you could beat me." He said, and then Blossom just pulled on his collar and caught his lips in a kiss. When she let go, Brick looked at her awestruck.

"Where the hell did that come from?" he asked, when he could finally find the words. Blossom smiled at him.

"You was trying to have your way with me, so you won." She said, and then he smirked at her.

"Something's up with you Bloss. You don't admit when you're beaten."

"Only to you." she said, "Now kiss me back before I try to pay you back."

Brick smiled, and then leant in to kiss her. They then started to kiss passionately for a few minutes. They had forgotten about time at the moment, and only had their attention on each other. When Brick had broken their kiss, he stared down at Blossom lovingly.

"I think I need to go home before my mother worries." He said, caressing her face.

"Yeah." She said, "I think that Buttercup's spying on me."
Brick snorted. "If she wants to spy, let her spy. She ain't getting any action for next few weeks."

"It's your fault. If you didn't hold me back…" Blossom said, her voice cutting off with Brick's mouth on hers. When he let go, he looked down on her smirking at her.

"Shut up Bloss. Just shut up and kiss me."

Blossom did what her lover told her, and all thought left her mind.

In the Utonium Household…(Buttercup)

Buttercup was upstairs in her room, trying to read the life science book that the Professor had given her, when she had heard screams that sounded like Blossom. She looked out the window, and saw the two red heads outside, rough housing each other, and making out, she felt a twinge of envy.

"Damn her and her goody good boyfriend." She thought to herself. "She always says that she and Brick always carry on in a good manner, but what's up with this. Wait 'til she gets inside."

To save herself from getting more jealous than she already was, she went back to reading her book. She got to the part on the reproductive system, and started to get interested. She got so interested, that she didn't notice that Butch had climbed through her window.

He stood over her and decided to make his presence known.

"That book looks like a good read huh beautiful?" he said, and Buttercup jumped, turned around and almost punched him in the face, but Butch caught her fist in his hand. Buttercup sighed when she grabbed on to the fact that she almost decked Butch in the face.

"God Butch. Don't scare me like that." She said with a sigh, "Ain't you supposed to be home?"

"I had to see you." He said, and leant over to kiss her.

"I can't fool around Butchie." She said backing off, "We have tonight."

Butch gave looked at her dubiously, pulled her toward him, and then kissed her passionately.

"You soundin' like little red riding hood. It's breaking my heart." He said, caressing her face. She then put her hand where his was, and then sighed.

"Sorry, but if I act like Blossom, I'll be able to get out of this mess." She said, and then kissed him back. Butch nodded, and then gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

"Alright. Umm…I gotta go to practice." He said, looking at his watch. "See ya later beautiful."

With one last, long kiss on the lips, He flew out the window. As he did, Buttercup got disgusted. In an act of showing just how disgusted she was, she picked up the book, and threw it at her door. The book went through the door, leaving a hole, and then sat on her bed with her arms crossed. She hoped that the Professor would put her off of punishment early.

The Living Room (Utonium Household-Professor & The

Mrs.

"John! You're being outrageous!" Ms. Utonium yelled, "How are you going to put her on two weeks punishment when she's already at home?"

"Because she knows that as a Powerpuff girl she is sworn to defend Townsville, and…"

"To uphold an example for all, namely the children her age, and so on and so on. They wouldn't have to be deal with that kind of responsibility if you didn't "accidently" drop the Forbidden Chemical in the concaution. If you didn't do that, they wouldn't have to live half of their lives fighting rivals that think that their lives are merely a game. That they have to beat them in order to say that they are superior, because the powerpuff girls are unbeatable. They are the pride of Townsville, but they're boyfriends are part of that pride. If you saw some man all over me, you would've done the same thing. Wouldn't you?"

"I'd try to carry on in an excusable manner."

"Don't even play Mr. Angelic John. You would've knocked him senseless." Sandra went on ranting, and unoticably, Buttercup sat at the head of the stairs, cheering her on silently.

"I think that you should take her off punishment. The only thing that I regret was that she couldn't wait 'til after school. The only thing suitable punishment is that she keeps Sadie while we go out tomorrow night."

"Fine by me." The Professor said, rubbing his temple. "I think you should just go talk to her."

Sandra nodded, and then went upstairs to deal with her defendant, please that she won her case.

At the Plutonia Household…

Brick walked in the house with Boomer, who had a pissed look on her face. He hovered upstairs to do something that he didn't know he was ever going to do. Brick saw the look on his face, and Brick hovered silently behind him, the curiosity killing him. Boomer went to their room, picked up the phone, and the letter, and dialed a number.

"Hello? Can I speak to Mary please?" he said, and Brick almost fell to the floor. He was surprised to know that Boomer had called the girl that wants him so bad. He was even more surprised to hear what he had heard her say to her next.

"Hello? Mary? This is Boomer…I just want you to know something. I don't want you. I love Bubbles, and she could give me more than you ever could. If I ever see another letter from you, I'm gonna get Buttercup to kick your fat ass like she did to your b_tch ass friend Kim. And by the way, tell her to stop sucking Butch's d_ck, 'cause all Butch is gonna do is get Bubbles to kick her ass the next time. You know, the girl that got more than you… Look b_tch…Don't hand me your bull-sh_t, 'cause I ain't feelin' you. Chill butter roll. I SAID LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" he said, and then slammed the phone back on it's hook. He breathed out slowly, and looked up to see Brick there, surprise written all over his face.

"Damn Boomer. What happened?"

"Mary wrote another letter making it sound like I cheated on Bubbles, and when Bubbles read it, she flipped. She didn't give anything two seconds thought, but I guess that I wouldn'tve either, if that was me."

"So you cursed her out over the phone?" Brick said,

"Hey. I had to give it to her straight." Boomer said, flopping on her bed.

"Hey. Ya do what ya gotta do." Brick said, and then laid back, trying to go to sleep. Playing with Blossom had taken up a considerable amount of energy. He didn't mind though. A few good moments with her seemed like hours, and he liked every moment he got with her. He just hoped his brother could enjoy his time with Buttercup-soon.
