Polska- I repeat: The first story in the series is "Nobody's Home". That is the prequel and songfic to "Home Sweet Home" which comes after. That is the prequel to "My Immortal". That is the songfic and the prequel to this story. This story is the prequel to "What You Waiting For" which is the songfic and prequel to "Home Is Where The Heart Is" which is the last story in the series. I know all of you got this but I wanted to say it again. : D I was bored.
Polska- Whoot! I got…10 reviews! Okay! Review thanks, review replies!
Kezzer: Thanks for the review! I hope it stays up this time. I'm positive I didn't do anything this time. : D
Lil Fang:Uh huh…no Blossom and Brick aren't going to commit suicide, but Blossom is close to it.
Zero Unknown: Thanks for reviewing! I just read your review over, and if you would like, I could send you the unedited version of this story.
Yes Brick going out with Princess is disturbing isn't it? The relationship lasted five minutes though.
Crazie-foe-u: Here's the update.
Harry Gregory: It is sad that stories are taken off because of "cool little chats". Oh well. Thank you for the review!
Blossom: Nice to know that my work is appreciated!
Brickhouse33: : D Thank you for reviewing!
Midnight001:Here is the update! Thanks for the review! Keep reviewing!
Mad Mauser: Of course I know that. I must've seen that episode of the Powerpuff Girls at least nine times, and the one when Him recreates them.
After this story comes my Bubbles story, so that's the sequel.
Wh1tn3y: -blushes- Thank you for the very nice review. I'm glad there are people out there who appreciate my work!
Polska- So there you go!
Blossom- Polska does not own the Powerpuff Girls or the Rowdyruff Boys or Professor Utonium. She does, however, own Doctor Arren Ronalds.
Polska- please review everyone!
Blossom cast a glance behind her and saw she was leaving a trail of pink behind her. She slapped her head and lowered herself to the ground. If Bubbles could see the trail of pink, no doubt that she would find her more quickly. But Bubbles probably already knew that she was headed towards the park. Blossom landed gracefully on the ground and began walking. It bought her some time.
Brick muttered angrily to himself as he landed on the cobblestone walkway of the park. He sniffed the air and groaned. The air smelled heavily of the stench of Princess' perfume. Princess was there.
Blossom walked silently down the sidewalk and tried to hold back tears at the sight of couples laughing, talking, holding hands and showing love for one another. She looked down at the ground and was soon walking on a cobblestone sidewalk. Walking to the nearest park bench, she lowered herself on the wood.
At the Utonium Residence
Buttercup sat on a stool in front of the counter in the kitchen, her hands holding her head. She stared into space, thinking about nothing in particular. Actually, Buttercup felt that she was losing her touch as the toughest Powerpuff. After being kicked out and not being able to stand it, and after becoming extraordinarily mushy just like Bubbles – Buttercup paused to shiver at the thought. Imagine the toughest Powerpuff becoming like Bubbles – Buttercup knew she had regain her status.
"Life sucks sometimes," she muttered to herself as she pulled on the black jacket that was hanging on the stool next to her. She stood up and hovered out of the house, slamming the door behind her.
Buttercup shivered as she stepped outside. It was unusually cold for spring. She wandered a few blocks until she arrived to the home of the Rowdyruff Boys. She hovered to the door and knocked on it, but was disappointed when Dr. Ronald answered it.
"I'm sorry Buttercup. Butch isn't home, Boomer went out and Brick isn't talking to anybody," Dr. Ronalds replied sympathetically before Buttercup could say anything. Buttercup's heart fell. How come Butch wasn't home?
She smiled weakly at the doctor and turned to leave.
Bubbles
Bubbles flew around, looking around for a bright pink trail that her sister could've left behind. Unfortunately, she found none.
"She must've outsmarted me. Of course she did. It's Blossom," Bubbles murmured to herself.
"Oh well, at least I know where she's going."
Bubbles flew as quickly as she could. She knew that Brick and Blossom would collide very soon and she couldn't and wouldn't let that happen. She couldn't bear to imagine what would happen then. She didn't even bother to think about it. Instead, Bubbles flew faster towards the park.
At the Park
The pink puff twiddled her thumbs as she stared around, her eyes landing on someone she'd never hoped to see ever again in her life.
"YOU!" she yelled, her anger rising.
"Me," came the smug voice. The person trotted closer and Blossom clenched her fists, fighting the urge to swing a punch at the person.
Bubbles
Bubbles finally landed at the park and hurriedly scanned the park for any signs of Blossom or Brick. She spotted Blossom but gasped when she saw whom she was talking too. It wasn't good.
××××
"Hey Blossom," Princess said, "Are you still angry about you're little fight with Brick? It was about time he dumped you. Who in their right mind would go after you?"
These words stung. Blossom fought back tears. She dug her nails into the palm of her hand as she fought the temptation to knock Princess across the city. She remained calm and tried to not let Princess get to her.
"Brick obviously," she answered Princess shortly. Princess was taken aback by Blossom's sudden shot of confidence. But then she realized something; it was completely obvious that Blossom was trying not to let her words get to her.
"Well then he left you and went after me."
"Too bad that lasted about five minutes."
Princess growled.
"Well at least we did more than you two did in your whole relationship."
"What…make out for five minutes straight? No thanks Princess. I'm not a slut."
"And you think that I am?"
"No…I know you are."
××××
Brick wandered around the park, shooting intimating glares at anyone who tried to talk to him. He stuffed his hands into his pocket and when he heard the sound of arguing coming from right near him, he turned and saw both of his ex-girlfriends going at each other.
When Blossom turned and saw Brick she exploded with tears. She took off, zipping through the air, ignoring the surprised look that Bubbles and Princess had on their faces. Brick glared coldly at her trail. Bubbles turned to face him. Brick was surprised to see that she was glaring at him.
"Why," she began, "Are you being so cold? Why can't you see that this is having an enormous effect on her? Aren't you the least bit worried that she'll commit suicide? Don't you even care if she goes into depression?"
Brick was taken aback by her sudden outburst. He regained himself nonetheless and glared coldly at her too.
"I have no concern for her anymore." And with that, he took off, leaving a trail of red. Bubbles closed her eyes and when she opened them, her eyes were unusually dark. Ignoring the surprised Princess beside her, Bubbles took off, catching up to Brick in an instance.
××××
Buttercup noticed just in time the pink streak headed for the ocean. She immediately followed, not caring where she was going, just heading for Blossom before she did something she would regret.
After a few minutes she saw a sobbing Blossom sitting on the sand. Cautiously, Buttercup approached her whimpering sister and tapped her shoulder lightly. When she looked up, Buttercup saw that Blossom's eyes were as red as Brick's.
"Blossom…are you alright?" Buttercup asked. Blossom glared at her.
"I'm fine," she said a little too rudely. Buttercup backed away a bit.
"Fine. Just don't do anything you'll regret," Buttercup said to her before taking off. Blossom sat there, Buttercup's words ringing through her head, "Don't do anything you'll regret."
She'd heard about all those girls who killed themselves over break-ups and had always thought of them of being silly. Now she realized how much the pain hurt. It could all go away with a quick swipe of the special knife that Blossom helped the Professor develop a couple years ago when one of their former enemies created a set of girls who were ten times stronger than them, so Blossom and the Professor made the knife for them to use to destroy the three Powerpuff clones.
Blossom could sneak in at night and steal the knife.

Brick was knocked backwards by a force to his chin.
"What the hell…?" he asked as he stared at Bubbles. She was pretty much shaking with anger and her eyes were extremely dark.
"I don't really give a shit if you break-up with my sister now. But after all the crap you said about you not damn caring for whatever she does, that's stepping way over the line buddy. For your information, I know you care. I know you would be even more heartbroken if she died." Bubbles calmed down. "Your coldness is an act of your pain. Whatever you say about her, I know you care."
Brick just hovered there, staring at Bubbles. Little Bubbles…little innocent Bubbles, hovering there and cussing and telling him what he felt. It was true, but he wasn't going to admit it.
"None of that is true," he said simply and flew off. Bubbles shot her hands up in frustration. This was going to be harder than she thought.
Boomer
The blue ruff in question was taking a walk. Yes a walk. He needed to clear his mind of things. Like letting go of Brick's intimidating glare. But as hard as he tried, his brothers' expression showed a look of pure hatred and pain and it was burned deep into his memory.
At least he had someone to comfort him. Bubbles. But she was always scrambling around, getting involved in things that were hardly her business.
Like now.
Bubbles couldn't stay out of anything-emotional going on. Just like when Buttercup was kicked out and Bubbles brought her back. Just like Blossom and Brick breaking up and Bubbles trying to bring them back together.
Boomer knew that she meant well, but what if they didn't want their problems to be meddled in?
So he knew he wouldn't help her. He wanted to, but he wasn't going to meddle.
Brick
The ruff in red was running Bubbles' words through his mind.
"You're coldness is just an act of your pain. Whatever you say about her, I know you care."
Of course it was true. All of his intimidating glares…his ignorance…his annoyance to anybody who talked to him. All of it was an act of his pain. Perhaps Bubbles helped him figure it out. But did he still care for her? He didn't mean what he said about Blossom, but did he still care for her?
Perhaps Bubbles could help him figure that out too.
Or maybe it was meant for him to figure out alone.
Whatever the cause was, he would surely figure it out eventually. Before Blossom did anything drastic. Brick stopped in mid-air after this thought.
"What do I care?" he sneered to himself.
A voice in the back of his head answered that for him.
"You do care, Bricky-boy. No matter what you say to yourself."
Polska- Finished! Since summer's beginning, I'll post the next chapter along with my other story, "Nothing Can Keep Us Apart". Please review! PS, in case anybody wants to know (and I won't spoil the story), Blossom DOES NOT commit suicide. Trust me, you'll want to know that. In case you haven't read "What You Waiting For" you'll need to know that. So once again, review!
