The Date

By Tonifranz

Buttercup was annoyed by the two leaders' arrogant attitude and tried, with Butch, to teach the redheads a lesson, but it slipped away. Will Boomer enjoy his date?

Chapter 7

Confusion and Craziness


The City of Townsville…

"Why the heck would they want some baseball cards and chocolate chip cookies?" wondered Boomer, scratching his head. "What kind of kidnappers are they? Well, I better get Brick!"

Boomer then went home to find his red-haired brother.

"Brick! Brick! I've got to talk to you, man!" Boomer called. He went to their room, but didn't find him.

"Brick! Brick!" he called but he didn't find him. So he combed the entire house for his brother, but didn't find the ruff leader.

"Cripes! What a great time for him to disappear. Just when I am beginning to enjoy this date, Bubbles gets kidnapped by who knows!" Boomer shouted. "I wonder where's Butch? He seemed to disappear too! Hm, maybe they went to the girls' house? But why the heck would they be in the sissies' house? Well, might as well try."

So Boomer went to the Powerpuff home.

"Um, Professor, is Brick or Butch here?" asked Boomer.

"No Boomer. They all went to your house," the Professor replied.

"They did? Oh well, bye!" Boomer said, leaving a bewildered Professor.

'Maybe Dad knows where Brick and the others are,' he thought. "Hey Dad!" Boomer called, using his watch.

"Yes, Boomer?"

"Um, is Brick, Butch and Buttercup or even Blossom with you?" he asked.

"Well no, son," Dr. Edwards replied. "Is there anything wrong son?"

"Um no, bye Dad!" Boomer replied, quickly disconnecting the link.

"Now, where could Brick be?" wondered Boomer. He then looked for his brothers and the rest of the girls, but he couldn't find them.

After an hour…

'Rats!' Boomer thought. 'I'd better get the other things he wants. Let's see, I've got 10 bucks in my pocket, I've some baseball cards at home, and I can use the five dollars to buy chocolate chip cookies.'

A half hour later…

'Well, I got everything that he wants except Brick. I wonder what kind of villain this kidnapper is? I mean he's gotta be stronger than me and Bubbles to take Bubbles without much effort, and as fast as he did it. He must have also have Butch and Buttercup. I mean why else would they have disappeared too? And Brick must have gone hiding from them. But why mention only Bubbles? Well, I gotta fact the music!'

Boomer then carefully put the demands in a bag, as he carefully tried to figured out who could have been responsible.

'Could it be Mojo? Nah, he's in jail, and he doesn't have a prayer against us. It must some new super strong and super powerful villain!'

He then flew towards Mojo's lab.

He entered the lab and saw two figures, about his size, waiting. They were clad in black, wearing masks and shades. And they were floating. Behind them, in a couch, sitting, was Bubbles, tied up and gagged, and Blossom, also tied up and gagged?

'How the hell did Blossom get here? She must have been kidnapped too, with Butch and Buttercup. But where are they?' Boomer thought. 'And why the heck did those two let them watch TV?'

The two Powerpuff Girls were indeed watching TV.

'Where's Butch and Buttercup?' wondered Boomer.

Suddenly, he saw something that made his face pale—a giant laser gun pointing at the two girls. A third figure, also clad in black, and wearing a mask and shades, was standing besides the controls to activate the laser gun. Around his neck was a camera not unlike that worn by Mitch. But it seemed that the girls themselves were not worried at all by the giant laser gun pointing at them, or the fact that they were kidnapped and tied-up and gagged.

"So, where's Brick?" asked the first kid in a forced and obviously faked but familiar voice.

"You're a kid and you're a girl?" said Boomer, shocked. "I think I've heard your voice before."

"No you didn't, it's just your imagination," said the girl. "Now where's Brick?"

"And I suppose the other one is a girl too?" asked Boomer.

"No, I'm a boy," the other kid said. Boomer noticed that the voice was somehow familiar, though he couldn't place where he heard it before. "So where is your redhead leader?"

"Hey, aren't you gonna ask me if I'm a boy too?" said the third kid, who from his voice was obvious that he was a boy too.

"Well, Blossom is the leader of the Ruff-Puff Alliance, and she is a redhead, so you got her already," answered Boomer, completely ignoring the third kid.

"No you fool," the girl answered back, "I meant William Bricker Edwards Jr., the leader of the Rowdyruff Boys and your brother."

"Brick? I don't know where he is!" Boomer answered.

"Really?" said the girl with a twinge of disappointment.

"Yeah! But I've got your five dollars, baseball cards, and chocolate cookies, though I don't know what villains like you would do with it. Now release Bubbles and Blos—"

"Oh yes, you're here to rescue your girlfriend," the girl snickered, interrupting Boomer.

"BUBBLES IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" a red faced Boomer shouted.

"Then why are you dating her?" snickered the boy.

Blossom, who was watching the entire scene, laughed behind her gag, while Bubbles blushed.

"Well, um, well, uh," Boomer stuttered, "Hell, I ain't her boyfriend, and she isn't my girlfriend. She's a friend, that's all, and I took her out because I just can't say no to her! But that's not the matter at hand. Release both of them and tell me where you've hidden Butch and Buttercup!"

Blossom and Bubbles just stared at Boomer for a few seconds. Then Blossom burst into even more riotous laughter even behind her tight gag, while Bubbles seemed to shake her head.

The two kids just stared at Boomer. The girl then giggled and snickered, obviously trying to contain her laughter, while the boys snickered and covered his mouth, but couldn't resist laughing.

"Man, you are a riot!" the boy said

"What's so funny?" Boomer wondered, causing his firm look to morph into a deer in the spotlight look. "Is there something on my face?"

This caused the girl to laugh, the boy to laugh even more, Blossom to laugh so hard she fell off the couch, and had trouble getting back due to her situation. Even Bubbles laughed too.

"Stop laughing! I'm totally serious!" Boomer shouted, by now getting angry. "I know what you were up to! You are just one of those villains who tried to destroy us. It seems that you have kidnapped both Blossom and Bubbles. And you have earlier kidnapped Butch and Buttercup while I had my date with Bubbles! I know, because I tried looking for them, and they have disappeared. Plus, I know you three got Mitch too. Why else would you have his camera? However, Brick, knowing that he can't fight both of you with all the others useless as captives, decided to hide instead of fighting you. So you kidnapped Bubbles so you can force me to turn Brick over to you!"

The five of them looked intently at Boomer. The three "kidnappers", and Blossom and even Bubbles laughed.

"Why the heck are you laughing? Stop it! I don't know what's so funny! I just figured out what was really happening. "

After five minutes of laughing, the girl stood up, acting, "Yes, you've figured out our evil plan!"

"Yeah, we intend to take over the world! Now, if you want to see Butch, Buttercup and Mitch, then give us the five bucks, the chocolate chip cookies and the baseball cards!"

"Okay," Boomer said, then gave it to the second boy. The second boy walked to where Boomer was, and took the items.

"Now, release Bubbles and tell me where Butch is!"

"Hold on! You must deliver Brick to us first!" the girl demanded.

"I won't!" Boomer said. "Release them right now!"

"Are you sure you won't deliver Brick to us?" said the girl.

"Yes," Boomer directly said, his courage and adrenaline going high. "I'll kick all of your butts!"

"Then you leave me no choice," the girl solemnly said. "Do it!"

At that point, the second masked boy pressed a large red button, and soon, the giant laser gun started to light.

"They will be destroyed, muahahahahahahaha!" the girl evilly said, then made an evil laugh!

"Ha, you'll see that we're serious about our threats! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!" he boy said, laughing.

Boomer's face was white with dread and terror. 'Oh no! They'll be gone!'

The laser lighted up, and smoke began coming from the barrel of the giant laser gun. The Powerpuff Girls seemed oblivious to the gun that would kill them. Blossom kept laughing behind her gag at Boomer, while Bubbles, while not laughing as much as her sister, has an amused expression in her eyes.

The two kids then seized Boomer each by his arms. To Boomer's surprise, they were as strong as him, and since they outnumbered him two to one, he couldn't break free in time to destroy the laser gun. He just closed his eyes. 'I'm sorry! I failed' he thought. The laser fired at the two girls.

However, he soon felt the two let go of him and started to roll on the floor, laughing so hard. He then heard Blossom laughing harder than before, and even Bubbles was laughing hard too.

Boomer looked into the laser gun, and at the barrel was a flag that popped out, with the words BANG, HA SUCKER! written on it.

"Boomer, you are a so funny! You should have seen the look on your face!" the boy said, in a changed voice.

Boomer recognized the changed voice. "Butch?"

"Yup!" the boy said, laughing and laughing. "It took you this long to figure it out!" He then removed his mask and shades, and indeed it was Butch.

"Boy, who knew how gullible you could be?" the girl said, her voice now being more gullible.

"Buttercup?"

"Yup, and the other guy is Mitch," she said, removing her mask. "Oh Boomer, we never thought we would have this much of a laugh!"

She removed her mask. It was indeed Buttercup. Mitch also removed his mask.

"Oh crap!" Boomer said. "I'll never hear the end of this!"


Author Notes

This is a spin-off from my fic, Allies and Rivals and its sequel. As readers of that fic might note, they would find details in this fic that I mentioned in my other fic, as well as the characterizations.

This story happens between Chapter 21 (The Triumph of the Ruff Puff Alliance), and Chapter 22 (Brick's Challenge) of the 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.
