Time Flies

The citizens of Townsville were born again, and did everything they possibly could do make sure that God would smile upon them when he arrived. Prayers were said every hour on the hour; helpfulness on the street or in the home became so frequent it was almost overdone… everyone and anyone had become a new person.

Even Professor Utonium had been cleaning the house and requiring the girls to pray every morning and night. Blossom didn't mind the change, nor did Bubbles. Buttercup, however… (Praying is for sissies! ~B.C.)

The next several days went very quickly. Because of the massive activity in the Hulk household, Blossom and Ray were barely together, except for school. Speaking of school, it was a changed land within the institute of Pokey Oaks. School work was done in record time, and even youngsters like Mitch Mitchelson were as well-behaved as an angel.

Blossom recalled another event that had taken place at recess on Wednesday.

Amid the games of catch and frisbee, Blossom and Ray sat quietly in the field, holding hands.

"Have I told you yet today that I love you?" Ray asked, smiling.

"You did just now," Blossom replied, planting a kiss on his cheek. "And the vice is versa."

"Oooh, how romantic…" jeered another voice.

Blossom rolled her eyes. "What do you want, Buttercup?"

"Nothing with you," her sister snapped. "I'd like to see your boyfriend do more magic."

Ray was surprised. "What?"

"Yeah, show me some magic like you did last week."

A group of kids had heard Buttercup's request and were gathering around.

Ray stood up, and gulped. "Well, I don't know very much…"

"Show us anything you know."

"Umm… well, okay… watch this." Ray raised his hand, and a nearby soccer ball lifted off the ground and began floating before them!

"Whoa!" they all cried.

"The trick is to trust your feelings." Ray told them. "Here, check this out." He raised both palms to the sky, and a black and white blast shot from each one and formed a shimmering yin-yang in the air.

"Ooooh! Aaaah!"

"This one's for you," he said to Blossom with a smile. He became very still, his hands raised to the sky. Then, with a cry of "Heeeeyah!", huge red blasts shot from his fingertips and into the sky. As the dazzled crowd watched, letters were written among the clouds:

BLOSSOM IS MY SWEETHEART!

"Awww…" the crowd cooed.

Buttercup crossed her arms and grumbled, but then she noticed two small, green blasts come from Ray, and the words:

BUTTERCUP, YOU'RE COOL TOO! Were formed.

"Ahh, you!" Buttercup laughed, slapping Ray the high five. "You're all right, you know that?"

"Hey, that's MY man, yo!" Blossom sneered. The sisters laughed and hugged each other.

After the girls turned around, it had been 15 days.

(A/N: I know, I know… jumping 15 days… it's a big step. But if I keep doing each chapter about two days or so, you'll have seen so many buttons that you'll see them in your sleep. So let's get to the good parts, shall we? Here's to: :{-) Alakazam! The best Pokemon in the world! And mister @:-} curly haired clown hat wearing happy guy!)
