Ok, what to say..... Um... Next Chap.

Butch was worried about Buttercup. He'd been waiting at the track for over twenty-five minutes. He'd been thinking about her all day. He stared at her in the classes they had together, and dreamed about her in the others. He just felt so alive around her... like his powers were supercharged. He decided to go look for her.
Buttercup, meanwhile, was stuck decorating the dance hall. She'd fallen asleep in class, and this was her punishment.
Great. Now Brian's out there waiting, and I'm stuck in here. Uggggghhhhh I wanted to race him again SOOOOOO bad! Just my Dumb Luck. She thought as she hung streamers, and tied balloons.
"BUTTERCUP?"
Buttercup looked down from where she was floating and saw Butch. "Where were you?" he asked, curiously.
"Slept in class, got caught, you do the math."
"Oh, I thought you forgot." he said, sheepishly.
"FORGOT????" Buttercup flew down towards him and said "I would never forget the chance to crush the only opponent who has ever defeated me!"
"So you admit you were defeated?" Brian said with a sly look on his face.
"Not for long! Three,two,one, GO!" Buttercup went flying down the hallway at full speed.
Butch was so surprised that he forgot where he was and took off flying after her!
When Buttercup looked over her shoulder and saw him flying, she couldn't believe it! This can't be real! It's a joke, or a dream, or something!
When he realized he was flying, Butch stopped and hit the ground. He ran super-speed and caught up to her. "Hey, Buttercup!" Buttercup looked down and saw him keeping running pace with her easily. She couldn't believe it! "See you at the finish line!" Brian said, and then ran even faster down the hall. She was sure she was flying too slow, or something like that. There had to be a reasonable explanation. Right?
Butch was at the finish line of the track when Buttercup came out the school doors. She HAD to know who he was now. How could he have been so stupid! He was just about ready to go home, when he saw her heading toward him.
"You won." She said. "You really beat me."
"Um...Buttercup, look, I know what you saw and-"
What did she see? He thought to himself.
"I must be getting tired, because when I looked over my shoulder, I thought I saw you flying! How silly!"
Butch smiled to himself, "Let me walk you home. You look tired."
"Okay."
She was glad Brian was going to walk her home. Maybe they could talk. As they began their hike, Brian couldn't help staring at her. She had started about her horrible date with Mitch the other night. I can't believe Mitch would spill an entire bucket of popcorn, smothered in butter, all over her skirt! What a Duffus! Butch thought to himself. He then started talking about his extremely awful experiences with Princess. Oh My GOD! I can't believe she talked about her new pair of jeans for two whole HOURS! What a Snob! Buttercup thought to herself. They went on talking and laughing until they finally reached her house.
"Well, I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow."
"Hey Brian, you goin' to the formal tomorrow night?" Buttercup tried to make herself sound nonchalant.
"Um, I guess." He said.
"Ok, I'll see you there!"
"Yeah. See ya."
Buttercup shut the door and ran straight to her room. She was so happy she could sing! She ran to the window seat to watch him go, and didn't see him. She then looked up at the sky. "Hmm... That's weird, I've never seen a green shooting star."
Butch was having a terrible time at the formal, and couldn't find Buttercup anywhere. Then he spotted her. Whoa... WHOA! He thought. Buttercup was wearing a long green gown that shimmered as she danced. She had also run green streaks through her hair, which matched the gown. She looked more beautiful than he ever remembered seeing her.
Wow! Never thought I'd see Brian in a tux! And he looks SOOOOOO HOT in it! Buttercup thought as she made her way toward him. "Wassup, But– BUTTERCUP?" He said as he caught sight of her. He looked completely astounded that she looked so beautiful. "Whoa, you look,...you look... WHOA!" She giggled when she heard his reaction. It was nice to be considered beautiful by SOMEONE. Mitch just said "You look... nice. Let's go."
"Hey, last night I saw the weirdest thing. A GREEN shooting star. I thought it might be a good omen 'caus, you know." she pointed down to her dress. Brian fidgeted a little.
"Hey, can I talk to you outside a sec?"
"Um,... ok." Buttercup followed him outside.
"So, what's up?"
Ok, now or never. Butch thought.
Buttercup was then shocked as Brian leaned down and kissed her cheek. It wasn't long, but she was all of a sudden aware of the feeling. That feeling that she felt when she was in the mayors office. The one she felt when she was playing basketball with Mitch. The one that made her feel so alive, so wonderful, that she wished time would stop so that she could feel this way forever. And that's how she felt. Like if she could stay that way forever, and if nothing ever changed, she would be happy. Wonderfully, Gloriously, happy.
When he backed away, she said "Brian, WHAT WAS THAT?"
"First of all, Name's Butch Secondly, that was Payback. Think about it."
Then Brian, or Butch, suddenly flew away with a streak of green light. Buttercup was in shock. She ran everything through her mind and what she came up with made her heart skip a beat.
Butch was a RowdyRuff Boy.
HER RowdyRuff Boy.
What 'cha think? It's getting REALLY good. I'm glad you like it!
