What is Buttercup's Plan?
by Tonifranz
(A Sequel to "The Date")
This is a sequel to "The Date." It seems that a lot of the readers were disappointed that Buttercup wasn't able to carry out her plan because Brick was able to outwit her. Well, I decided to make a story where she was able to carry out her plan.
Short Summary: Buttercup decided to "punish" Brick and Blossom for supposedly interfering with their siblings lives by making them take a little of their own medicine. She was able to have Bubbles help her, but what of the boys?
Long Summary: This tale happens directly after The Date, where Blossom attempts again to arrange something for Boomer and Bubbles, with Brick, but Brick would not bite. It would be the last straw for Buttercup, who decided to implement her plan to teach the redheads a lesson! Would Buttercup this time succeed in getting the best out of the two brilliant redheads? What of Boomer and Butch? And will she escape revenge?

Chapter 2
Target Blossom
The City of Townsville, at Saturday, on the first week of November...
The Powerpuff Girls were lounging around in their homes, playing with their dolls and toys. Blossom was busy reading a book downstairs, while Buttercup practicing her punches on a reinforced punching bag, while Bubbles was playing with her dolls.
Bubbles was busy combing the hair of her new Barbie doll after dressing her up.
Buttercup went upstairs to talk to Bubbles. "Hi Buttercup!" Bubbles greeted. "Wanna play dress-up my dolly with me?"
"No! Dolls are for sissies!
"Dolls are not for sissies!" Bubbles replied, but she noticed Buttercup was wearing. Instead of her usual green dress, she was clad in black pants and a black sweat shirt, with a black bonnet on her head. "What are you wearing?"
"My suit for our operation today! And you better get on yours too!" Buttercup said.
"Operation for what?"
"Have you forgotten? I mean, look at what I'm wearing? Can't you remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Sheesh! We discussed this last Wednesday! We're going to capture both Brick and Blossom to teach them a lesson!"
"Oh yeah, that! But why are wearing that silly get-up?"
"To get into the part! Now dress yourself appropriately!"
"Na-ah! I like this dress, and I won't change!"
"Whatever!" replied Buttercup. "Now get the materials ready and put them in a bag."
"What materials?"
"The super tough ropes, the duct tape and the handkerchiefs, the special goggles, and the anti-gravity belt, stupid! How can we hold those two against their will if we don't tie them up after we catch them?" Buttercup argued.
"But I don't think Blossom will like this too much," Bubbles said, concerned.
"She's not supposed to like this! If she does, what's the point in doing this to teach her a lesson?"
"Oh yeah! Okay, I'll get the things," Bubbles said, and began packing in a bag all the things that they would need to hold their redheaded leader.

Later...
Blossom was buried in a book in the couch, when she noticed Buttercup come besides the couch next to her.
"Huh? Buttercup, why are you wearing that?" asked Blossom, giggling.
"Oh it's part of the game Bubbles and I were playing, and we're hoping you'd join us," Buttercup.
"What kind of a game?" asked a curious Blossom.
"Well, Buttercup and I decided we are kidnappers, and we're going to kidnap you, Blossom," Bubbles, who popped up besides the two, said.
"That's nice, Bubbles," Blossom said, "and it sounds fun, but you better find somebody else to play victim. I'm not in the mood today!"
Buttercup's face twisted into a grin. "Well, whoever heard of a kidnap victim that's in the mood to be kidnapped?"
"Well, I don't want to play!" Blossom asserted.
"Then you're perfect! You're not supposed to like it, so there!" Bubbles replied.
"You don't get it, do you? You have no choice but to go along with this. We're going to kidnap you right now whether you like it or not!" Buttercup snapped.
The raven haired powerpuff then grabbed her bow topped sibling.
"Let go of me!" the pink puff said, who began struggling against Buttercup's grip.
"Nothing Doing!" Buttercup replied, trying to hold her sister. "Bubbles, get those ropes and tie her up! I can't hold her much longer!"
"Okay, okay, you win!" Blossom said. "Now let me go and I'll promise I won't struggle at all. I'll cooperate!"
Buttercup then made her instructions. "Okay. Glad you can see it our way. Now, after I let you go, you will turn around, put your hands behind your back, and let Bubbles—"
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Blossom interrupted, but nevertheless complied. She saw both Buttercup and Bubbles eyes directly upon her, ready to pounce upon any false move on her. "Hey, look! At the stairs! What's that?" she pointed at the stairs.
"What? Where?" Bubbles said, looking at the stairs.
"Huh?" Buttercup said, her curiosity overcoming her judgment, and looked at the stairs.
Blossom took her chance and flew at top speed out of the house.
There was nothing at the stairs, and Buttercup realized this was just a ploy of Blossom. "We've been suckered!" Buttercup exclaimed. "After her, Bubbles!"
'That was easy!' Blossom thought. 'Who knew Buttercup's so gullible?'
"Blossom, stop!" Buttercup said as she chased her.
"Catch me first if you can!" Blossom shouted as she flew towards the forest near the Edwards' home.
'Maybe I can persuade Brick to help me evade those two?' wondered Blossom. 'Maybe we can turn the tables on those two?' She flew over the forest. 'Hm, I think I'll hide there, and if I hide long enough, they might give up. I mean Brick was able to hide when me and my sisters were hunting him when we thought they were still evil. Though we were able to find him, because I'm way smarter than him,' Blossom thought, remembering the Third Clash.
Blossom flew into the forest instead of continuing into the Edwards home. That was to prove to be a colossal blunder for the brilliant leader of the Ruff-Puff Alliance.
She quickly hid in a bush, and waited for her sisters to get tired and go home. 'This is actually fun,' she thought, 'just like hide and seek. As long as they don't get me, that is.'

Buttercup and Bubbles flew towards the forest.
"Where's Blossom?" asked Bubbles. "She seemed to have—disappeared."
"Well, let's split up and look for her then," Buttercup suggested. "I'll hover above to prevent her from flying away, while you look at the ground."
"Okay," Bubbles said.
They split up. Bubbles slowly walked on the forest floor, walking cautiously, leaving no stone unturned in her search.
She passed by a bush, but before she could go further, she was suddenly grabbed from behind, with one arm over her waste, with both hands pinned at her side, and the other over her mouth so as not to attract her lime clad sister. She was pulled towards the bushes, reminding her when she was first captured during the previous week. It was Blossom.
But Blossom herself had a problem. She can't hold her for long. She could tie her up—Bubbles had the bag with the materials needed—but without assistance, it would be impossible to do it without attracting Buttercup's attention. She can't drag her away, since Bubbles was still violently struggling in her grip.
But before Blossom could do anything, Bubbles suddenly puller her arms from her sides, removed the hand from her mouth, and screamed. Blossom then realized she made a slip-up when she tried to capture Bubbles by herself instead of just hiding herself—but it was too late.
Soon, Bubbles and Blossom were wrestling, trying to pin each other down, but not actually punching or kicking or using their powers, and they didn't even pull each others hair. They were only playing, after all, and they laughed through it all.
"Give up, Blossom!" Bubbles demanded.
"Never!" the redhead replied.
Buttercup, who heard Bubbles' scream, quickly found the two and joined in. Soon, Blossom was easily overpowered by Bubbles and Buttercup and was pushed face down to the ground on her stomach. Buttercup sat at Blossom's back, twisting one arm to immobilize her.
"So, surrender?" Buttercup asked.
"Okay, I give!" Blossom replied.
"Now, first, we'll gag you so you won't trick us again!"
"I won't trick you again—prommmpphhhh!"
"And you won't," Bubbles, who inserted a roll of sock in her sister's mouth, said with a grin, "because you won't be allowed to talk!" She then slapped a piece duct tape over her mouth.
Buttercup then pulled Blossom's other arm behind her. Bubbles gave Buttercup a length of the special rope, and the toughest puff tightly tied Blossom's hands behind her. She then tied her ankles.
Buttercup then slapped on the goggles over Blossom's eyes, and strapped on a gravity belt on her sister.
"Now, we'll teach you a lesson Blossom! Now you'll know how it feels to be force to do things you don't want to do," Buttercup said as she carried her back home.
Blossom just rolled her eyes. It wasn't her first time she was immobilized by Buttercup, so she wasn't too nervous. But she also knew that her chances of escape were nil unless she can get the boys to help her. But she also knew her sisters were just playing, and she would be free before the end of the day.
When they arrived, they quickly put Blossom on the couch, rechecked the ropes to make sure no knots were loose and to make sure she wasn't going anywhere.
"Now, we'll get Brick." Buttercup said.
But catching Brick would be much more difficult because they would also have to deal with Boomer and Butch, and both Bubbles and Buttercup knew that both boys, especially Boomer, were fiercely loyal to Brick, and at this point, nothing would make them switch sides. And they knew they would lose a two on three fight against them.
"But how? I mean, we have Butch and Boomer to worry about to?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan, and if that fails, I also have a plan B," Buttercup asserted.
"I hope it works," Bubbles said, concerned. "I mean Blossom nearly got away, and she was alone against us two, but Brick has Boomer and Butch on his side. And Brick is real sneaky too."
"Don't fuss about it! And Blossom, you'll soon be joined by Brick, hahahahahaha!" Buttercup laughed evilly.
Author Notes
This fic, along with The Date, happens between Chapter 21 (The Triumph of the Ruff Puff Alliance), and Chapter 22 (Brick's Challenge) of this story, Allies and Rivals II: Commander and the Leader. The kids already had rescued Prof Utonium and Dr Edwards from Ckracknow's first island. Ckracknow himself escaped, got some financing from Mr Morebucks, and unknown to the kids, was creating the five clones that will attack Citiesville. Blossom's still the undisputed leader of the Ruff Puff Alliance, but Brick was plotting to grab it from the pink puff leader.
To Hairy Gregory, well, I agree. Brick is as arrogant as Blossom is, but he just has a better way of hiding the fact. Well, they've captured her in this chapter, let's hope that they can capture Brick too so they can cure Blossom of her superiority complex. But even if they do capture her, I doubt she can be cured of it.
To Kats02980416, well, we'll find out if and when they've captured Brick if Buttercup can pull it off or if it would crash and burn like her previous plans. I don't think they would get one of Brick's brothers to help them, but we'll just have to see in the next chapter.
To Lil Fang, not likely.
To Ud the Imp, well you'll just have to wait for the next chapter to find out what the Green One's planning, won't you?
To BrYtt BRatt, they would, if Buttercup can successfully pull it off! And to find out if Buttercup can do it, just look at the next chapter!
To Dooly, well, it might be hard keeping up with two stories, but it's boring just updating one story.
To Bubblesbean022, I do hope too! Well, this is chapter 2!
To Mr. Joe, thanks. As for the dance, I might get back on it, but right now, I'm focusing on this fic and Allies and Rivals II.
To Libertygirl0115, yup, Butch kept his promise! Yup, look out, you two Redheads!
To Akum, thanks for reviewing!
