Chapter Nine
School passed by quickly and the three girls rushed home and then tried to change for the night. Bubbles put on tight white pants, a white shirt with the Playboy Bunny, and a baby blue bandana, posing as the older version of her childhood favorite Harmony Bunny. Buttercup put on skin tight leather pants, a tight black shirt with an iron on picture of the female Mange on it(with the green glowing eyes), and black Timberlands as the finishing touch. Blossom put on a red mini skirt with shorts underneath, a tight red shirt, with black tights, red sneakers, and letting her hair fall, she put her red bandana on.
"Gee, I can't wait for tonight, I'll have my Boomie all to myself." Bubbles said,
"Hey, what is Boomer going as?" Buttercup said, smirking
"I don't know." She said, "I hope it isn't the blue ranger."
"I hope it isn't either. He's been doing that one every Halloween." Buttercup said, looking over at Blossom.
A knock came on the door, and they knew it had to be the professor, ready to survey their outfits.
"Come in!" Blossom said, and he walked in.
"Hey girls! I just came to check on what you're wearing." He said, looking at Bubbles, and he nodded.
"That's nice Bubbles." He said, and then he looked at Buttercup.
"That'll do." He said, "Although it's a little too tight."
Buttercup sucked her teeth, and shook her head as he passed on to look at Blossom. When he saw her, he almost jumped out of his skin.
"HOLY JEHOSAPHAT! WHY ARE YOU GOING IN YOUR UNDERWEAR?!"
"This isn't my underwear, it's a mini skirt, and something's under it."
"What?" he said, his breathing shaky
"My shorts." She said, and his breathing became more normal.
"Oh. Thank God." He said, "I wouldn'tve thought for two seconds that you were going to wear something like that."
"Well, I'm not going to the party."
"Where are you going?"
"On a date with Brick." She said, and then he sighed,
"Normally I wouldn't let you wear that thing around the house, but since you're set on wearing it…you can use it for one night only."
"Thanks Professor." She said, as the bell rang. The Professor sighed, and then shook his heads.
"Their not my little girls anymore." He thought, "I just have to let them grow."
~~~*~~~
The Rowdyruffs were waiting for their girlfriends in the living room. Brick was dressed up in a red Fubu shirt with the number five on it, and baggy red jeans. He held his red cap in his hand. Boomer had on a blue Fubu shirt identical to Brick's and blue baggy jeans, Butch had on a pair of black baggy jeans and a shirt identical to Buttercup's except that it was a few sizes bigger than him, and the Mange was a picture of himself. When the girls came downstairs, they were in for a big surprise.
Boomer saw Bubbles, and went in a daze. To him she looked so angelic in the all white that he couldn't take his eyes off of her. When Butch saw Buttercup he started to grin evilly at her. She grinned back, and then sat on his lap.
"Ready to go tiger?"
"I'm on the brink of changing plans my tigress." He said, looking at her behind. "This right here looks very beautiful in this tight leather." He said, making a low growl sound that Buttercup found very sexy.
"Excuse me…" Brick said, "But does anyone know where Blossom is?"
"Oh." Bubbles said, smirking "She's about to come downstairs. She made sure that you liked what you saw when you see her."
"Oh yeah. She worked really hard." Buttercup said, smirking, "She beat me tiger."
"Oh no she didn't. Nothing can beat this right here." Butch said, tapping her behind. Just then, Blossom walked into the living room, and needless to say, all three boys mouths were hanging. Buttercup saw this and rolled her eyes.
"I thought she couldn't touch this?" Buttercup said, immediately getting jealous. Butch snapped out of it, and then looked up at Buttercup.
"Oh no babe. That ain't nothing." He said, "I'm hooked on this right here."
Buttercup rolled her eyes at him, but put his arms on his shoulders. "That'll do. You still have to pay for that."
Butch pulled her toward him and kissed her. Bubbles shook her head and looked over at Boomer.
"What are you staring at?" she said, sitting on his lap.
"Nothing much." He said, looking up at her.
"Good. Let's keep it that way." She said, and then the Professor walked into the room.
"Hey kids." He said, as he looked at all the kids in the room, mostly at Blossom and Brick who were trying to be as polite as possible. "You're to be home at 11:30pm. No later, and no earlier."
"Okay Professor!" The kids yelled, and then left. The Professor then sat on the couch baffled. Sandy came and sat next to him, and then rubbed his back.
"What's wrong?"
"My job as a father is over." He said, and Sandy looked on at him with a stern look on her face.
"No it's not. When they get into a jam, they're gonna come running to you. Besides, you have two more years."
"I know, but it seems so fast." He said,
"Yes, since I've seen them all graduate it seemed like centuries 'til they ever grew up." she said, and the professor gave her a dirty look.
"Look at this way, you'll have more time to think about me." She said, giving him a lustful look.
"You do have a point there Sandy." He said, pinning her on the couch. "Why don't we start now?"
"Fine by me." She said, as the whole scene of life faded away, the professor took full advantage of the bliss before him.
~~~*~~~
When the blond and brunette couples made it to the dance, the party had just begun. They immediately saw Adam Lee, dressed up as Bruce Lee; Jamie, Mary, and Kim were Charlie's Angels, and Molly and Mike were dressed up as Harmony Bunny and himself, but Molly's Bunny was navy blue, and Mike's Fubu shirt and pants were orange. Everyone else was either a cartoon or a villain from Townsville.
"Woah. Check out the variety." Buttercup said, and then a reggae beat came on. She looked up at Butch and he put his arms around her waist.
"Come on beautiful, back that bottom up on me." He said, and Buttercup started winding on him. Buttercup held on to his hands and kept moving. Butch moved with her, and then saw something at the door that caught his eye. He leant down, and whispered in Buttercup's ear.
"Buttercup."
"Huh?" she said, stopping.
"Don't stop." He said, "Just look up at the door."
Buttercup looked up at the door, and couldn't believe her eyes. It was Princess and Mitch. She had on a Gold shirt, with a black Playboy Bunny on it, with gold pants and a matching sneakers, and wearing her crown as the finishing touch. Mitch had on a black Fubu pants with a gold hem, and a black Fubu shirt with the gold number five, a black bandana rolled up on his head like a head band, and black timberland shoes as the finishing touch.
Everybody saw them and was surprised with what they saw.
"Yikes!" Buttercup said, "Did she do this to impress herself, or Mitch?"
"Maybe the both of them." He said, and then he noticed that Buttercup wasn't winding on him anymore, more so, the beat changed.
"Damn Buttercup, when did the song stop?"
"When Princess and Mitch walked in." she said, smirking and as they walked past them, looked Mitch up and down.
"I thought Mitch wasn't coming." She said, and Butch smirked down at her.
"You know she always whines to her pops every time some sh_t happens."
"Yeah, that's true." Buttercup said, "I want to see how jealous she gets when someone fools around with him."
"I don't know, and I don't care." Butch said, putting his arm around her waist, assuming the position they were in as 112's Peaches and Cream came on. "Let's pick up where we left off."
Buttercup smirked back, and started grinding again. She was curious to know how upset she'll get when anyone messes with Mitch, but that was for another day, when they're officially hooked.
As everyone was dancing to 112's song, Bubbles and Boomer were sitting around, talking to Molly and Mike.
"Hey M&M." Bubbles said, "What's new?"
"Nothin'." Mike said, "I ain't feelin' this song."
"I know. Brick would." Boomer said,
"Why don't you like this song?" Bubbles said,
"It's made for freaks." Boomer said, "Namely the ones over there."
Boomer nodded his head toward Buttercup and Butch, who were
dancing like freaks to be exactly right. Buttercup had bent over and Butch was guiding his hands to her Promised Land. Bubbles looked at Boomer and then smirked at him.
"I see what you mean." She said, and Molly smirked with him.
The song went off, and then Shaggy's Angel came on. Boomer and Bubbles looked at each other, and smiled.
"Now this is a song I can dance to." He said, as he led Bubbles out to the dance floor. Molly and Mike followed behind, and then started to dance the night away.
~~~*~~~
Meanwhile, the red headed couple were enjoying their time alone together. Brick was looking Blossom up and down, liking everything that he saw.
"Damn Bloss. If you worked hard…it paid off." He thought.
They walked for a while in silence, and Blossom wanted to know where they were going.
"Brick?" she said, "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there." He said, holding her tighter. "It's a surprise."
"Okay. If you say so." Blossom said, snuggling on his shoulder.
After taking two buses, and walking the rest of the way, they were almost there. As they got to the block, Brick decided to let her walk there blind.
"Blossom." He said, walking from behind him. "Close your eyes."
"I won't see where I'm going."
"Alright." He said, going behind her. He covered her eyes, and then guided her to the entrance of the beach. When she reached it, he uncovered her eyes, and she gasped.
"Oh Brick…" she said, "How did…I don't have a swimming suit."
Brick gave her a devilish grin, and pulled her toward him.
"You want to take a dip in the pool?" he said, kissing her lips.
"Looks like you're prepared enough."
Blossom grinned back, and put her arms around his neck.
"You don't look like it." She said, and then tried to pull off his shirt.
"Hey…we don't have to strip to take a dip." He said,
"Why not?" she said, "I spent a lot of money on these clothes."
"Bloss. We didn't come here to worry about expenses." Brick said, and then Blossom looked up, guilt written on her face.
"You're right." She said, and then started grinning. "So, what did you have in mind Bricky?"
Brick took her hands, put it around his shoulders, and brought her in for a kiss.
"I forgive you Bloss." He said, smirking at her and then her eyes caught that all too familiar flash of anger that he loved to see.
"You forgive me?" she said, looking at him with a mix of dubiousness and rebellion, "What have I done to want an apology?"
"Get guilty." He said, smirking, "I know you like the back of your ass Bloss."
"I know you like the 10 year old cap you wear Brick." She said, smirking, and then Brick smirked back
"You dare diss my cap?" he said, "Now it just got personal."
"Oh yeah?" she said, and then he picked her up, and flew up in the air. After a few minutes, he put on the afterburners that choked the girls the first time they fought. Blossom knew that she was in for it as soon as she saw the red smoke trailing behind her. Suddenly, she went blind, and then Brick let her go. He disappeared into the smoke, but with the enhanced x-ray vision, he can see where Blossom was.
She looked around, the smoke blinding her vision, and she started to get scared. After a few minutes, she was soon plummeting down, and couldn't break free. She looked down to see Brick pulling her, and before she screamed at the top of her lungs. Before she could get another scream out, she had hit the water at a force that could've killed a human being. Blossom resurfaced and started coughing. Brick came up after her smirking.
"How you like the water baby?" he said, and then she gave him a devilish look. She opened her mouth and used her ice breath to make the water ice. She waded over to him, and kissed him on the cheek. And whispered in his ear, "Ice cold."
"You know what?" he said, "That was good, but can you unfreeze me? I can get a cold."
"Not really." She said, "I didn't do you that bad."
"Yes you did." He said, "Now, if you don't mind…"
"For what?" he said,
"Assuming what you don't know." She said, smirking. Blossom knew that he was right, she just wanted to see him give her the big puppy eyes when he was desperate.
"No." he said, "I was right. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't keep up on these things Bloss."
"Uh-huh." She said, smirking, "What else?"
"Look Bloss, It's getting really cold in here. If I get sick, I can get in trouble, if ma finds out I was fooling around with my powers."
"Aww. My little Bricky wants to please mommy dearest now."
"You know what?" he said, "I don't need you to break me free."
"Huh?"
Brick showed his point by busting the ice apart. He then charged on to Blossom as they went on for another round of their little 'play fight.'
~~~*~~~
At the dance, went on, all of the girls were starting to look at Mitch in a whole new light, namely the two that were by the snack stand. One of them was staring at the 'new couple', happy that they were finally together, the other one was getting even more jealous by the minute. As they danced to Lil' Bow Wow's Puppy Love, she couldn't help but start to vent.
"How did Princess get with him?" Girl one said, staring at Princess with a jealousy that could hardly be controlled.
"I don't know." Girl two said, smirking at her friend, "But they look good together."
"She looks good with him, but I would look better with him." Girl one said, twirling her blond hair around her finger. "Princess ain't gonna do anything but beg him for money. I can always give him what he wants. She's not willing to do that."
Girl one, known as Denise Keller, wanted Mitch ever since school started, and won't stop at anything to get what she wants. She doesn't really care if Princess is as tough as everyone tells her she is, but in her mind, she gets what she wants, and what she wants is Mitch. Girl two, is Mei Chang, a girl of the Chinese race, just like Adam and Kim. She has a thing for Adam, and she hears that he wants her, they met before, but she doesn't really know if he wants her for sure. She totally disagrees of Denise going after spoken property, but she won't listen to her, so whatever happens just happens.
"I'll just take all of her clothes when she gets buried." She thought, looking at her friend with a smirk. One other thing that no one else noticed is that Denise is jealous of Bubbles, and wants Brick as second choice. She'd rather be with Mitch, because Mitch is known as the 'Poster boy for Bad Asses' everywhere, though Mei thinks that Butch better fits the description better than Mitch.
"Whatever she does, she better think of the consequeces." She thought to herself, as she saw Adam approach her.
Adam was standing at the other side of the gym when he saw her. That was the girl he wanted, but at the time he was after Blossom, and didn't know that she existed.
"Well…now's the time to find out more about this beautiful angel." He thought as he walked over to her. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Hey." He said, extending his hands. "You look nice tonight."
"Thanks." She said, "I was wondering how long you were going to stand there staring at me, before you decided to say something to me."
"Don't worry. I was too." He said, and then put his arms around her shoulder. "Where have you been all my life?"
"On the other side of the world waiting for you." She said, grinning. Adam grinned back, and then pulled her out to the dance floor to dance to R. Kelly's 'Feelin' on your booty. The song had a little bit of the Chinese sound in it, and set the mood right.
"I hope you know my name." Mei said, smirking at him.
"I know your name Mei." He said, and pulled her waist toward him, "Now dance with me and keep silent."
Mei danced with him, and kept quiet. He decided that if he wanted her, then she would know by the end of the night.
~~~*~~~
Brick and Blossom were laid out on a blanket in the sand, exhausted from their fight. Blossom had her head on Brick's chest, enjoying every minute they had together.
"That was a really romantic night we had Bloss." Brick said, looking at his watch. The time said eleven o'clock, but if they flew home, the time would be quicker, so they didn't have anything to worry about.
"I know." She said, smirking, "You kicked my butt."
"I know." He said, smacking her on her bottom, "I'm always gonna kick your ass."
"Whatever." She said, looking up at his eyes. "You know what?"
"What?" he said, "You're gonna tell me something that's gonna make me kiss you?"
"Why?" she said, "You don't want me to?"
"I didn't say that." He said, smirking, "Kiss me Blossom. You know you want to."
"Not before you kiss me." She said, smirking back.
Blossom straddled him, and he rolled over and so that he was on top of her.
"Come on, give in." he whispered, and then she just smiled leant up, and kissed him. He kissed her back, and just then, as the kissing started getting passionate, it started to rain. They broke free, and then started to hover in the sky.
"Damn. So much for a starry night at the beach." Brick mumbled to himself. When they reached the right height, Brick picked up Blossom, and flew off, Brick's red glow following behind.
~~~*~~~
As the dance started coming to a close, the blond and brunette couples started to leave for home, but not all of them were happy that the party was over.
"Why do we have to leave now?" Buttercup ranted,
"Because, the professor says that we have to be home by eleven thirty, and it's eleven twenty." Boomer said, looking up at the sky.
"Hey…It's raining."
"Yeah…weird." Bubbles said, "I thought it was supposed to be clear skies all night."
"Last I checked, it was." Butch said, "Or at least that was what Mr. Lil Carrot top said."
"Look. Right now, let's just get home." Buttercup said, "Before the Professor throws a fit when we come home at eleven thirty-one."
The boys nodded, picked up their consecutive counterparts, and then flew off.
As Blossom and Brick landed, they looked up to see the flashes of dark blue and dark green in the sky.
"Well, at least they're on time when it comes to their girls." Brick said, smirking. They landed, and then gave Brick a look that said they were very pissed. They were all soaked wet from head to toe.
"Hey fearless leader." Butch said, "I thought you said, that the night was going to be clear right?"
"Yeah. I did." He said,
"Well look up in the sky. DOES THIS LOOK ANYWHERE NEAR F_CKIN' CLEAR TO YOU?!!!" Butch yelled, his temper starting to rise. Buttercup looked at Blossom and saw she wasn't in the mood for none of that.
"Alright. So he made a mistake. So what?" Blossom said, "What matters is that were still alive right? Now if we all stand out here, acting like we all got cramps…then were all gonna be sick the next day. Now stop acting like little five year olds…AND GET INSIDE THE GODDAMN HOUSE!!!!" she said, with that same look that she gave Boomer, and he started to shudder.
"I'm feeling a little sense of Deja Vous." Boomer said, and then Butch just started to step to her, but Bubbles pulled her back.
"Don't do it Butch." She whispered in his ear, and then told him why. He then decided to step back, knowing what happened to him the last time he messed with Bubbles in that condition. If it wasn't pleasant the first time, he wasn't gonna be pleased this time.
"Hey. My fault. Ma always said don't f_ck with the woman in the red dress." Butch said, and then Buttercup rolled her eyes at the pun. They all just went inside the house, and the Professor walked in and found all of the kids soak and wet.
"Hey kids. You made it home just in time." He said, "But…why are you wet?"
"It rained." Blossom said, and then started up the stairs.
"Umm…before you go…there's someone here that wants to see all of you."
Blossom stopped in her tracks, and then decided to stay just to be polite.
"Hey." The Professor said, waving his hand from the living room. "They're here."
The person walked in the room, and all of them gasped. They couldn't believe their eyes. To Butch, it was the boy that nearly kicked his butt around ten years ago. To Brick, it was the boy that saved his and Blossom's relationship by sheer 'cause. To Bubbles, he was over all a nice boy. To Blossom, he was a very intelligant boy that she could always talk to. To Boomer, that was his best friend, and to Blaze, that was her man. As Buster stood there, and looked at all the people standing there, he knew what was going to happen next.
They all looked at him, and then ran towards him, bum rushing him over. As they all had him wheezing for air in the big group hug, Buster knew that he was finally home.
