Author's Note: I'm so, so, so, so sorry for keeping anyone waiting if I did. I just want you to add up the factors so that you can be a little easier on me. I'm fifteen, about to turn sixteen in two months around Christmas, I go to school, and on top of that…I'm a female. A fifteen year old female that likes to read, write and gossip and be like…Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup mixed together. That's a lot. Almost every fifteen year old is like that, add to that fact that everyday something is changing about me that's really confusing. So, people, please understand. Thank you. Now without anymore of my so-called babbling, I'm going to give you the next chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter Four

            Teresa sat down and looked Bruiser in the eyes, initiating her little operation on him. She wanted to feel his lips on hers by the time school was out, and she had her plan all laid out.

"Hey Bruiser." She said, and then looked over at the other three and nodded  acknowledge their presence. Teresa was many things, but rude wasn't really one of them.

"Hey." He said, "What's up?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to know if you had anything to do after school?"

"No." he said, "Maybe except chill with my brothers. Why?"

"I just wanted to know if we can hang out sometime…" she said,

"For what? A date?" Bruiser asked with a smirk and then Teresa smirked back, and shrugged,

"Whatever you wanna call it."

"You're the one calling the shots, I'm the one making the decisions." Bruiser said, with his smirk deepening. He knew what Teresa wanted, and he found her very sexy with her ways, but he couldn't find himself attracted to her. His mind was wondering how to do the same exact thing with the girl on the other side of the lunchroom, with the lime green eyes.

"Alright." Teresa said, "No games, just me and you. How's that?"

"Let me think about it." Bruiser said, and then leaned back a little taking her all in.        

          Teresa had the body of a model, and if she didn't mess around with boys while she was still young, she'd be more attractive than she was now. The thing that really tugged at him was that she was like his ex girlfriend, Trisha. The way she carried herself, the way she looked, had every boy in the school wanting her, and it had taken Bruiser long enough to have her at his mercy, but then, when Bruiser let his guard down with her, she'd taken advantage with his trust and went with another boy-his enemy. Unfortunately, he couldn't see past Teresa's pretty body and ways because they reminded him of the past, and while he was here, he wanted to move on to bigger and better things.

"I think I'll pass." He said, with a smirk,

"You will? That's too bad." Teresa said, as she looked over at him, "Oh well, you can call me when you change your mind."

"Alright." He said, keeping his well placed smirk on his face, as she strutted away from them. "Later you three."

The other three nodded toward her and then Butch started snickering. Bruiser looked up at his older brother and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" he said,

"You just turned down an offer that many of these dudes in the school would've killed for." Butch said, still snickering, "With ease."

            Throwing that event to the side as unimportant, but not uneventful, all four boys talked about irrelevant stuff when Bruiser looked up and saw another attractive face. From what he saw, she looked like Buttercup except that she had long red hair, and her eyes were a rosy pink color. From what he saw in her body, milk did her body good…really good.

"What are you starin' at that's so interesting?" Butch said, as his brother looked back at him. He then nodded off at the girl and Butch looked back and saw that the girl in question was his girlfriend. He decided to toy around with him for a second.

"Her?" he said, and Bruiser nodded,

"She is sexy…" Butch said, as Boomer started shaking his head at his brother's antics, Brick just merely smirked.

"So…she taken?" Bruiser said,

"Yeah." Butch said, "She's mine."

"Oh." Bruiser said, without thinking about what he just said, "Too bad."

Then, after that, he just looked up at him and smirked.

"Fuck you Butt." He said, as Butch started laughing at him,

"Hey." He said, "I told you she was taken…and my name is Butch."

"I know, but I seem to forget when you act stupid." Bruiser said, smirking as Butch just threw up his middle finger as his response

Right then, Butch felt some arms around his neck and he turned around and saw Blossom smiling down at him.

"Hey stupid." She said, and then Bruiser let out a small chuckle,

"See? Even your own girlfriend thinks your stupid."

Butch looked over at him and then raised his eyebrow. Blossom looked up at Bruiser and then gave a small smirk. Bruiser turned out to be humorous to her, and she didn't really mind talking to him as a friend. That's what her first impression was with her was…thankfully.

"So…anyway Bruiser…that's your name right?"

"Can't mistake it." he said, as Blossom bit her lip from saying anything back. She did that with Butch enough. She didn't have time for Bruiser. Besides, that would be Buttercup's job somewhere along the line in her thinking.

"Anyway, you're the new subject around school now a days." Blossom said, "Heard you said something very interesting in one of your classes."

Boomer, remembering what he heard, laughed out loud at the memory. That would be one for the books. Brick snickered along with them and Butch just grabbed onto his girlfriend and pulled her onto his lap as she gave a slightly bewildered look.

"Don't worry about it pinkie." Butch said, as she just shook her head,

"Anyway…" she continued, "You seem to be attracting a lot of girls too."

Bruiser just looked up at Blossom and smirked. That was a fact he couldn't, or wouldn't deny if anyone asked. She was just merely validating the fact and was probably in trying to check him out for herself. Why? He didn't care to know or probably just didn't care why. When it came to her, his interest was simply gone because she wasn't free game. It was no big problem because his mind wouldn't have really been on her in the first place.

"So…what's your name?" Bruiser asked, "Your real name anyway."

"Blossom." She replied, "I'm sure you're on familiar terms with Buttercup, and Bubbles."

"Seen Bubbles…introduced my fist to Buttercup's face…"

Before he could continue, Bruiser felt a straight jab to his jaw. All eyes looked up to see Buttercup standing there, with her arms crossed, looking at him with a triumphant smirk on his face.

"Like I said, you're too conceited cutie." Buttercup said, as Bruiser looked up at her and grabbed his jaw. It was slightly swelling and he was surprised he didn't notice Buttercup moving up on him. He was slightly peeved that he was feeling pain, but as he looked up at Buttercup, he smirked at her and felt like re-introducing his fist to her face…or maybe introducing his lips to hers.

"I'm conceited? Look who's standing here thinking that blindsiding me is an accomplishment. I'll give you one when you beat me sweetie."

"Is that a challenge?" Buttercup said, "Because I've been itching to fight you again to settle the score."

At that moment, it seemed as if the rest of them weren't sitting there in Buttercup's state of mind at the moment. Only her and Bruiser.

"Let's do this then." Bruiser said, raising up from his seat, "You're going to be my first example for everybody in this school."

"No I'm not." Buttercup said, as she grabbed his neck before he could register her action, "Because I'm not like everybody else."

Before the rest of them could say a word edgewise to stop the two from fighting, the bell rang and the period was over.

"After school, in the park…don't be late." She said, with a smirk as she released him from the grip she had on him.

"Don't worry." Bruiser said, as he stood up to reach her eye-to-eye, pulling her flush against him, as he brought his mouth straight up to his ear, his voice booming in her ear when he said, "I won't be."

~~~~~~~

"Look who's all over him…"

"Yeah Teresa, thought you was going to get him first? Looks like you're too late."

Teresa was walking down the hall with Princess and Kim. She didn't know why Princess was around her, mostly because she didn't favor Princess too well, although she talked to her at times. Kim on the other hand, was her partner in crime as long as she could remember.

"Look Princess…" Teresa said, looking over at her associate, "He can drool over her all he wants, but if he doesn't see what he's missing, then hell, fuck him. he's not the only boy in this world."

"Yeah, but he is by far the sexiest I've seen yet." Kim said, looking over at him as he passed them in the hallway, "He's too sexy for words. If Buttercup wasn't around…"

"Yeah. She chooses to start being a girl around him." Teresa said, smirking to herself. She remembered what Kim had told her in the lunchroom earlier about the run-in she had with Buttercup after harmlessly flirting with him. He wasn't taken so where was the harm?

"Listen Teresa." Princess said, "I think that you should try again, because it doesn't seem that serious. With Buttercup, come on, do you actually think she's going to start crushing on a boy? And even if she did, would he really be as stupid to go after her, when he could have you?"

Teresa thought over what Princess said and added the factors. From what Kim told her, it was that serious, and if it wasn't, then it was about to be. Buttercup isn't one to sweat a boy and she must really have something for him if she blocked him from another girl. On top of that, Buttercup to Teresa, wasn't an ugly girl. In fact, if given the right touches, she could be just as glamorous as her other two sisters, who had the perfect bodies that made all of the opposite sex go crazy, and if not all, they at least noticed and admired. But then again, their looks were inherited from the perfect female.

"Princess, I really think that it could be serious." Teresa said,

"How? They're not dating, they probably haven't shared a kiss, they probably haven't even had a decent conversation, how could anything be serious? And with Buttercup Utonium? Please. You're pulling my leg."

"Princess, Teresa could be right. I mean, I don't like Buttercup too well, but maybe it is. If she wasted time stepping between me and Bruiser…what a hunk…she couldn't be doing it for no reason."

            Teresa, then quiet, looked over and saw her twin brother and his girlfriend having an argument. It was something she'd grown quite used to hearing about. Now a days the argue on the phone, argue on the way to school if they walk together, argue in public and embarrass her. Even Mitch and Princess carried on in a better way than Julie and Terrance did half the time.

"I really would like to get with your brother." Kim said, as she blushed a little, shaking her head, "Jamie doesn't deserve him at all."

"What about Blossom?" Teresa said,

"I have nothing against her. Besides, she didn't deserve what he did to her. She's lucky to have Butch."

"Don't worry girls." Princess said, throwing an arm around both of the girls' shoulders, "You'll find your true love one day. If I can, you can too."

Teresa, despite her feelings for Princess and herself, let out a smile along with Kim as they walked down towards their next period class, where they would think about their lives and when romance would kick in with the right person and take them away.

~~~~~~~

"How could you do that to me?"

Terrance stood over Julie Smith, his girlfriend, as he assumed, disgusted and pissed off. He caught her making out with his best friend and he was about to make sure his friend pays for his actions.

"Terrance, you broke your promise. Did you actually think I'd take you with open arms after what you did to me?"

"What?" he said, not believing what he was hearing, but then, the flashback came, and then he felt guilty.

"Then do me one thing."

"Anything."

"Keep away from Blossom."

He remembered half of the things that went on in his mind, in his heart. he remembered that Blossom was in the center of most of them.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Terrance then felt as if he did do her wrong, but at the same time, that still didn't give her the right to leave him as if he meant nothing to her. But as he stopped and thought about it, maybe he never meant anything to her…when she saw him get beaten up by Butch that day. She didn't even help him out like she used to. He was about to lose another girl. She wasn't Blossom, but they could've had something good.

"You heard me." She said, stepping up toward him, "You should've known it was over long after you got fucked up days back."

Terrance didn't say a word. instead, he just looked into her eyes, and noticed something there…something she was trying to hide, but wasn't about to show it. Julie loved him.

            It was just his luck that the girl he was about to lose was the one he could've kept and learned to love back. always. Teresa kept chiding him on trying to treat her right, and he was still thinking about Blossom, who was long gone, and her loyalties belonged to Butch-his enemy. He then did what he thought was best to do. Confront her.

"You love me." He said, and then Julie's eyes got watery and filled with defiance,

"You son-of-a-conceited-bitch." She said, all in one breath, "You're always so fuckin' sure of yourself. You always think of yourself. How the hell do you think I could love you?"

"I see it in your eyes…" Terrance said, walking up toward her as she stepped back,

"Terrance, stay away from me…" she said, when he grabbed her and was about to kiss her straight on the lips when he felt the wind knocked out of him. he looked up to see his best friend Christopher, looking down at him.

"Didn't Butch teach you not to touch things that don't belong to you?" he said, as Terrance stood and then looked at his friend…or enemy straight into the eye.

"Really? Since when has Jamie been yours?" Terrance spat at him, wanting so badly to kill him,

"When you broke your promise Terrance." Christopher said, "And after she ran to me, I did what any other boy would do when they see a pretty girl in distress because of another stupid male."

"Yeah? And what's that?"

"Do better." He said, as he put his arm around Jamie's waist and then gave his ex-best friend a smirk, turning away from him and walking away with his ex-girlfriend. Terrance calmed down before he tried to kill him for doing that to him. that was his best friend out of all people.

            Terrance knew he did some pretty messed up things, but he didn't think he deserved that. No one really does. Now he knew how Blossom felt when she caught him kissing on Julie like she wasn't anything to him. Only worse. If anything, Terrance never double crossed his friends when it came to that area in their life, but now, he felt as if he never wanted to deal with another female again.

"It only takes one bitch can screw up the rest of your life." he thought, as he stood up and walked in the other direction, "Only one."

~~~~~~~

            Bubbles walked through the halls with her sister, listening as she told her everything that happened. If there was something Bubbles knew about her sister that anybody else wasn't catching on to, (if they didn't they were slow) was that Buttercup was really into him, like no other girl in the school is. Sure, Bubbles took a peek, swooned for a few seconds, but then moved on with her life, knowing that Boomer is the only one who could grab and keep hold of her heart.

Just as she was thinking that, she turned to see Mary Contrary talking to her boyfriend-again. They both had been paired to do some type of project together for science, and needless to say, she didn't like that.

"Look at this Bubbles…" Buttercup said, "You're boyfriend's going to be molested by Ms. I'm-all-that-because-I lost-my-two-ton-body."

Bubbles laughed and then smirked. "I don't think so. If Boomer knows what's good for him, he'll remember that I'm the only one who can make him…what's that word Buttercup?"

"Which one?"

"The big one that means make him lose his mind?" she said, raising her brow as Buttercup mirrored her sisters' expression,

"Ask Blossom…I don't know…I'm only trying to get my mind together to fight again…" she said, as a small smile swept across her face, "I'm gonna fuck him up…"

"Sure…" Bubbles said, "You're going to do more than that."

Buttercup looked over at her sister and smirked, "You have too much mouth. Way too much mouth."

"If you say so." Bubbles said, "Not my fault."

            Bubbles and Buttercup walked through the hallways through the school, talking like they owned the school, and didn't have to be in class. They were so engrossed in the conversation they were having that they didn't notice Boomer following them and listening to every word they were saying. He walked behind Bubbles and put his arms around her waist, making her jump.

"Calm down sweetheart." He said, kissing her on the cheek, "It's just me."

"Oh." She said, "You finally noticed that I was alive."

"What?" Boomer said, raising his brow, knowing that she was talking about Mary. He smirked at that fact, pleased to know that his girl would still get jealous over him, even though they've been dating for awhile.

"Nothin'." She said, "So how's the project coming?"

"I don't know." He said, "Mary's a little air headed…"

"Like you should talk." Buttercup mumbled, and Boomer snapped his head up to say something and didn't, mostly because he wasn't about to get into anything with Buttercup. Besides, he just wanted to see her and Bruiser fight again. From what Bruiser told him, Buttercup is dangerous. That's why he likes fighting her. Or at least why he liked her skills the first time around.

"She's air headed?" Bubbles said, looking up at Boomer with a impish grin, "I don't think so. Mary was the smartest person in kindergarten."

"You mean class nerd…" she said, smirking, as Boomer looked back at her and then put his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

"Bubbles, do I have to tell you to stop being jealous?" Boomer said, "Or do I have to show you?"

"I think something along the lines of doing both would satisfy me." Bubbles said, as she turned and her hair, not worn in pigtails flew over her face,

            Without warning, Boomer kissed her on the lips, making her melt, and making Buttercup feel a little out of place. she wasn't one for standing around when two people went into PDA-mode. Instead, she walked away, and out of the school. When she walked out, she found herself walking toward the park and with that, she took off toward the sky.

Unbeknownst to her, someone was following her. Slowly, but at his own speed, Bruiser crept up behind her, wanting to fight her…that's what his first intentions were. His next, were of a whole different nature.

            As Buttercup landed on the ground, at the meadow she had her first run-in with Bruiser, she looked around and gave an appreciative look around at the rubble that they both caused trying to tear each other apart. Oh yes, she loved the sweet blows that she gave and took as they both fought trying to tear him apart and gain the upper hand…

            On top of that, she liked the semi-intimate moment they shared before she messed it up and had him screaming, obviously off guard. Buttercup couldn't explain what she felt when he was over her, before her counterpart messed it up. She wanted to kill Butch for that, but maybe she felt like thanking him. when the attraction you felt for a boy was that strong within a matter of seconds, you need to step back and breathe.

"Nice little mess huh?" she said to herself,

"Yeah."

Buttercup jumped, turned around and saw Bruiser standing there. Her face started to flush when she saw him, brown eyes, brown hair and all. The same boy that had her flushing from the day before. Before she got friendly with him, she did what her first instinct was-go on the defensive.

"What're you doing?" she snapped, "Following me?"

"What?" he said, raising a brow, "You actually think I would spend my time running after you?"

            Buttercup crossed her arms over her chest, and cocked her hip to the side, giving him a disbelieving look. It wasn't obvious that he was following her, but the truth remained that he did. Buttercup was many things, but stupid wasn't one of them. Neither she or her sisters were dumb, and sometime someone was going to learn that. if not the whole world, then one person at a time. That's how Buttercup operated anyway. she took life at her own pace, no matter how fast or slow an aspect of life moved, it was meant to happen.

"Who said it was about all of that?" Buttercup said, smirking, "You act like I'm not worth it."

Bruiser smirked, and then walked up to her, as close as Buttercup was getting accustomed to between the time she and Bruiser met. Something that hardly rattled her anymore.

"Are you?" he said, as Buttercup lifted up her green eyes and mirrored the look on his face, as she took a step forward to him.

"That's for me to know, you to find out, and you to decide." Buttercup said, her eyes twinkling as Bruiser's leering grin got even deeper and more devilish. In a word, Buttercup found it sexy.

Bruiser's arms wound their way around her waist, bringing her flush against his hard body. Buttercup tried to back away but Bruiser's grip was too strong for her…at the moment. Buttercup's resolve was crumbling because she wasn't about to run. She didn't find herself wanting to.

"Already did." He said, before bringing his lips to capture hers in a kiss that Buttercup never thought she'd ever feel in her life. The timing was probably out of whack being that Bruiser didn't know her that well, but Buttercup didn't care. To her, time didn't matter. Just the subject of the matter.

When he let go, Buttercup looked up at him, her smirk covering what was going on underneath the surface. She was excited, elated, she wanted…craved…more.

But, before going any further in anything, Buttercup looked into his eyes as a question that formed into her mind, made it's way out of her mouth.

"How sure are you?"

~~~~~~~

Bruiser looked at her and then raised his eyebrow at the question she just asked him. How could she challenge what he felt for her? Then he thought over everything. From when his mother barges in his room and tells him to pack up everything he has, and the next thing he knew, he's sitting in a train for a whole day, asking his mother questions and not getting any answers. He gets off the train and ends up waiting in five consecutive places before ending up at Marina Plutonia's house. Bruiser sat there, listening to Melissa tell Marina that she had a half son that she didn't know about, and Marina's face gets even more pale than it was when she first saw Melissa standing at her doorstep. An hour later, after Professor Utonium came and listened to the two females battle it off, Bruiser met Buttercup, and fought Buttercup. The whole funny thing was that their attraction to each other was…undeniable. He wouldn't deny it.

Now, he stood, looking into her eyes, and what she said sunk into his head, as he knew what she was implying. It had only been a short amount of time. A small, quick amount of time.

"Sure enough." Bruiser said, "Why?"

"You don't know me." Buttercup said, smirking, "Until you do, we're just two strangers that like to fight with each other."

"And you're saying that because…" Bruiser said, wanting to hear her response. He knew what she was saying, but he wanted to hear her reasoning and find out what he was about to get himself into.

"Because…I don't just jump into things head first." Buttercup said, although that was a pure lie, but then, with the seriousness of what she was feeling, she wanted to know what she was dealing with as well. Bruiser had fallen into her lap like a lost puppy, and she wanted to get to know him like a little five year old girl…or Bubbles would want to take the puppy in and care for it.

"So what are you telling me?" Bruiser said, loosening his grip a little so that he could look at her whole face.

"Why do you wanna make me answer questions you already know the answer to?" she asked him, getting annoyed.

"Because…" Bruiser said, "You're a tough nut to crack sweetie."

"Cutie?" Buttercup said, looking up at him, when he looked down at her, with a smirk, covering his real emotion to that one word,

"What?" he answered, despite of himself. He didn't like the name Buttercup used, but he wasn't going to let her know. That would make her use it more often. Too often for his taste.

"You know what I want…" she said, "So let's stop being stupid about it. I like you and you like me."

"Says who?" Bruiser said, raising a brow, as Buttercup didn't let what he said faze her,

"I." She said, simply, "You know you want me. It's obvious. Too obvious."

"State the case…" Bruiser said,

"One of my father's rules was to never get friendly with strangers. Get to know me, and then you can find out."

Bruiser was about to ask 'what?' but he remembered. He asked, and he was going to find out. He decided he'd take Buttercup's little deal, but at the moment…it didn't mean he couldn't have fun with her. Life was too short not to.

"Alright." He said, and then pulled her back toward him, with Buttercup powerless to escape…if she wanted to.

"What are you…" Buttercup started, but couldn't finish with the feel of Bruiser's lips on hers. She just let herself dive into the pleasure he was creating in her.

When they pulled away, Buttercup checked her watch, and noticed that school was out.

"Aren't we supposed to be fighting right about now?" Buttercup said, "I still wanted to whoop your ass…"

Bruiser looked down at her and then grinned as he swept her off her feet, and laid her on the ground, positioning himself on top of her. He hadn't forgotten that he challenged her again after their little altercation at lunch, and still was up for the challenge. Just not at the given time and moment. He only came up with one word to that.

"Later."

Buttercup saw his dangerous chocolate brown depths grow darker and his face take on the look of the arrogant tyrant inside of him that  she would tame and conquer all before his lips met hers and ceased all of her capability of thought.
