Next Chap! The reviews REALLY made my day! Thanx!!!!!!

___________________________________________________________________________


Blossom opened the door to her locker, and the first thing she looked for was another blank card. She was sort of hoping for another chance to see Brick, and she knew getting another card was a good excuse to call him away from class.

YES!!!!! I mean... Oh No! She saw a bright yellow blank card on top of her social studies book. I guess this means I have to go get Brick... she walked to Science Lab, which was Brick's class. As she looked through the door, she couldn't help but grin. Brick was doing the experiment far better than the others in the class. He looked towards the door, sensing Blossom's stare. She smiled, and he smiled back...

Oh My GOD his smile is PERFECT! Blossom found herself thinking.

Nice to see Blossom is back. So muck for the evil look, finally.. Brick found himself thinking.

NOT THAT I CARE! They both thought at the same time.


Brick got up and asked Mr. Shooster, the science teacher, and asked if he could go to the bathroom. The RowdyRuff then ran straight out of the room. He found Blossom in the hallway, and took a moment to check out her outfit. She had her hair up in a floppy bun, and was wearing baggy faded blue jeans. She was wearing a bright pink tank-top with a big red heart on it. She also wore some lip gloss, and tanish-gold eye shadow. She looked like her regular self, thank goodness. She saw him and smiled again.

"So, uh, what's up?" Brick asked, shyly.

"I... I got another card." She said, shyly.

"Oh, um, where is it?"

"In, uh, my locker. I didn't touch it."

"Oh, good. Lets go then."

They both walked slowly toward Blossom's locker.

"So... You still reading Great Expectations? It really is a great book... PLEASE DON'T PUNCH ME AGAIN!" The pleading look on Brick's face made Blossom burst out laughing.

"Actually, I just started reading Jane Eyre. You were right, I do love it!" Blossom said. Brick blushed, not only at the compliment, but at the use of the word 'love'. He was reminded of the day before. He remembered the way she looked so peaceful, reading that book.


Blossom saw the blush, and blushed as well. He looked so handsome today, in his red basketball jersey and jeans. She was reminded of the other day, when he had helped her up. She had been completely mesmerized with his eyes. He was too handsome for his own good. She stopped in front of her locker, and opened it. She pointed to the yellow card, and Brick took it out immediately. He burned it with his laser vision.

"Well, I guess I better get back to class." Brick said.

"Yeah, me too." Blossom said.

As Brick turned to walk away, Blossom had an idea.

"Wait, Brick... What if we just took the rest of the day off, you know? Try and figure out whose causing this." She said, trying to sound as calm as possible.

Brick turned around slowly, and said "Uh, I guess that's a good idea. Sure." A grin spread across his face.


They sped out the door, and flew straight to Blossom's room. She opened the window, and they both went inside. Blossom sat down on her bed, and Brick sat on the window seat.


"So, what do we know so far?" Brick asked.

"Well, we know what the stuff is, and that the cards are always blank. That's pretty much it." Blossom said.

"Did you test the card for fingerprints?" Blossom asked, after a moment of silence.

"No, But we could." Brick said.


Blossom got out her old detective kit from when she was seven, and they dusted the card for fingerprints. They found fingerprints on the card, and Blossom recognized them, but she didn't know why. She looked more closely and noticed that one of the fingerprints was in the shape of a ...CROWN!

"Princess!" Blossom whispered to Brick.

"Yup, it's me!" a voice behind them yelled. They turned around, and saw Princess right behind them. She held a squirt gun, and had it aimed at Blossom's face.

"Don't you DARE move, or I'll just see what this stuff can do."

"What is it? You know I'm poison-proof." Blossom said smugly.

"Wanna find out? Just test me." Princess said.

Blossom lunged for Princess, and Princess squirted her straight in the face. Brick ran for Blossom, but Blossom got up and punched him in the face.

"What tha–" Brick yelled.

"She's evil now, thanks to this lovely little potion my daddy's scientists made. I've been feeding it to her in cards for the past week now. Don't try to fight me, or you'll have to fight Blossom. She's under my control." Princess said. She then switched on her jet pack, and grabbed Blossom. They flew out the window, and Brick didn't know what to do. He knew the antidote, but how was he going to make it work? He had to rescue Blossom, he didn't know what he would do without her. Suddenly, a grin spread across his face. He had a plan, and he knew it would work... one way or another.
