No One's POV
September.18.1987
As I sat here underneath the oak tree, I smile as the sun hit my face. As I sit here writing in my journal, I feel a sense of release as I adjust to my surroundings. I groaned once I heard the school bell ring. High school was no joke especially with this war going on. I just wanted to be free from all my responsibilities, but alas it was inevitable. Ignoring the warning bell, I remained in my spot watching as my other classmates, either scurried towards the building or away from it. I watched as one of my classmates Bobby formed small snowflakes in his hand, he always tried to impress a few of the girls around him with his powers, not that it ever worked. He smirked as they giggled and blushed in his direction, only causing me to roll my eyes. I watched as the leaves slowly began to fall around me, I breathed in the cool September air. There was nothing more intoxicating to me then nature. The feel of the wind, the smell of the earth, the refreshment of the water and the strength of the fire. It was what I was made up of, being an omega level mutant meant so much power to control, so many choices I had to make. So much secrets I had to keep, but I knew in my heart I to do everything from letting the truth be exposed…no matter the consequences…
"Why do you always do that?" Blossom looked up from her mother's journal, as Bubbles sat quietly beside her.
"Do what?" Bubbles cocked her head,
"Go back and forth between mom's journal entries…" Blossom sighed,
"I don't really know…it's just. This book is mom, her entire life from when she first got it to her last entry…it's all we have." Bubbles cuddled up to her sister as she sighed
"Yeah I know. But wearing yourself out like this…won't get you any closer to the truth." Blossom sighed; their mother left them 11 years ago without a trace. When they first found her journal, Blossom used it to see if she could decipher where her mother went, but to no end she had to stop. It was going to drive her mad, to this day it still does.
"GIRLS COME DOWN TO THE BALLROOM!" Blossom groaned as Ms. Bellum's voice rang over the intercom. She and Bubbles were the only one's in the room. Blossom slowly closed her mother's journal and placed it right inside her pillowcase. It was the only place she knew best to hide it. She got up and dusted off her uniform. This time it was an all-black long sleeve jumpsuit that hugged her body, paired with a pair of red toms, and the same red apron. Her red hair tied in a high pony and a small red bow. Her red bangs falling just at eye level but not blocking her line of sight. Bubbles was in the same attire, but with her blue apron and blue toms. Her bouncy blonde hair placed in pigtails that stretched down to her chest.
"Guess break time is over." Bubbles giggled as she followed her sister out the door. Blossom sighed as she closed the door. All three girls have been working in the imperial palace for about three months now. They cooked, cleaned and tailored to everything the boys asked. They learned to be civilly obedient under Blossom's direction. It was mainly tailored for Buttercup but she made it known to their sisters that they need to lay low. The heat needed to die down; the goal was to become yesterday's news. For the most part it worked. Bubbles was a whiz in the kitchen, the staff was amazed at how well her food tasted, and to Boomer's liking she managed to keep up with his appetite. She fed all his brothers with her delicious cooking…even their pets. Boomer was used to the presence of Bubbles; it gave him a sense of comfort.
"I really hope I don't have to work in the library today." Blossom whispered. Blossom had taken notice that Brick has done everything in his power to keep her at an arm's length distance. When it came to her Brick was all over the place in his emotional state. One minute he was calm, the next minute he was snapping at her telling her to work on the other side of the room. It frustrated Blossom to no end, but she kept her cool and did what she was told. She found the rhythm to his routine, she studied his behavior, she followed up on his remarks. Just by studying him she was able to maneuver around him. She couldn't place her finger on it, but every time she was around him, he was off. She normally just shrugged it away but Brick was confusing her as the days went on.
"I thought you liked the library?" Bubbles said, Blossom shrugged her shoulders,
"I do like it…when I get to learn something. Not when I'm rearranging the entire section." Bubbles rolled her eyes as she and her sister navigated there way to the ballroom. Once they reached the ballroom, the doors automatically opened for them.
"Oh my god."
Buttercup's POV
Three months. I've been Butch's toy for three months, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Now don't get me wrong, Butch was one of the most obnoxious, perverted, self-righteous monsters I've ever known. But behind closed doors, he wasn't that person. When this arrangement first started, to be honest I should have been killed for the amount of insubordination I've committed, but it only seemed to fuel Butch's weird fascination with me. After Blossom's lecture I decided against it. So, I played to my best behavior, did his laundry, cleaned his room, sometimes I even fed the big baby. But alas I found myself enjoying one of my chores, Butch became tolerable once I met Nightmare. He was the most beautiful dragon I've ever laid eyes on, his black scales shimmered anytime he was near light and his green eyes were a mesmerizing, you couldn't help but be hypnotized. I grunted as I dragged the sack of cow meat behind me to the middle of the stable. I began to fidget at the outfit I was wearing. The all black long sleeve jumpsuit was riding up into my butt. The green apron Butch forced me to wear, made my hips looking wider than they already were. I huffed,
"That is a lot heavier than people might think…" All of a sudden, the wind around me began to pick up and the flapping of wings invaded my eardrums. I looked up as Nightmare slowly made a descent in front of me, his 15-foot broad body landing firmly in front of me. His eyes locking with mine and his tongue slightly hanging off the side of his mouth.
"How's my favorite boy?" Nightmare snorted as smoke came out of his nose. His tail wagging.
"You're hungry aren't cha?" He began to stomp around and I laughed as I walked up to him and scratched the side of his face. He looked at me, curiosity sparking his eye
"Don't worry, I have your food right here." He drooled. I grinned as I began to feed him the pieces of meat.
"Honestly think I'm falling in love with you." Nightmare cocked his head to the side as his ears started to twitch.
"Didn't think my competition would be a dragon of all things…" Both Nightmare and I turned our heads to find Butch leaning up against one of the stable beams. The light only shining on part of his face, highlighting some of his more defined features. I shook my head and scoffed,
"Nightmare beat you by a landslide." Butch scoffed as he walked towards Nightmare, the dragon getting more, and more excited the closer Butch got. Butch began making baby noises at the beast and in an instant Nightmare was on his back as Butch scratched his belly. It was an instant change in behavior which threw me off completely.
"Who's a good boy! You are! YES, you are…." I scoffed,
"Stop trying to win his love." Butch chuckled,
"I've already got his love, you on the other hand had to bribe him." I gasped,
"I've done no such thing! Your just mad…" Butch raised his brow as he came between me and Nightmare. Both of us now sitting on the floor as Nightmares tail created a circle around us
"Mad about what?" I narrowed my eyes,
"That he likes me better." Butch chuckled,
"You know I was curious about that." Now I was confused,
"Curious about what?" Butch continued to stroke Nightmares head as the dragon laid it next to him.
"Curious to how he didn't eat you…" I looked at Butch appalled causing him to chuckle,
"Nightmare doesn't like humans…but yet he seems very attached to you." I shrugged,
"Maybe it's something about me…" Butch gave me a genuine smile. A smile that I hate to admit was breathtaking,
"Yeah…maybe it is something about you." I snorted,
"What does that mean?" Butch looked at me and smiled,
"Can't place my finger on it…" I shrugged
"Well when you place your finger on it…let me know." Butch laughed,
"Surprised you haven't let me put a finger in it…" I instantaneously blushed, and he noticed which only fueled his ego ten times more.
"N-now wait a minute…d-don't you go getting any ideas." Butch chuckled,
"What makes you think I haven't already had them…" He started to get dangerously close to me, for some reason I remained frozen in the spot and narrowed my eyes,
"Don't you dare…" Butch cocked his head as he inched closer and closer, all I could smell was frosted mint.
"Don't I dare what? What makes you think that I won't just take what I want? I can do with you as I please…what makes you think I won't?" I looked straight into his dark green eyes; he was genuinely asking me. I couldn't help but bore my eyes into him as he mimicked my actions. It was something about his eyes, that were so inviting, it was begging me to come for a closer look. I remembered my surroundings and immediately left the thoughts in my head. The next thing out of my mouth surprised even me,
"It's not who you are." Butch softly gasped as he just looked at me.
"W-what did you say?" I shrugged,
"You don't seem like that kind of guy…" He scoffed,
"You can tell this after three months…" I rolled my eyes,
"Well when your forced to uproot your entire life and become a slave to one of the most…" Butch chuckled,
"Careful Butters, don't want a time out do we…" I rolled my eyes,
"Anyways…all I'm saying is you get to know a person when you start to live with them…" Butch smirked,
"So, what about me?" I scoffed,
"What about you?" He tilted his head
"What have you learned in the past three months." I groaned not even realizing Butch and I somehow were shoulder to shoulder
"Do I have to?" Butch just raised a brow at me, and I rolled my eyes,
"Fine. You are a party goer; you like to have a good time. Um you love your pet dragon Nightmare; I believe more than your friends. You have a strange fascination with the show the amazing world of gumball. You pretend to be a womanizer, just to keep up the tough guy act. You workout 4 days a week because you believe your body is a temple even though you eat unhealthily. Your favorite snack is a swiss roll, and your favorite activity is getting high. Your obsessed with the color green, you don't wear your emotions on your sleeve and though you'll never admit it, family is the most important thing to you. You're not very good at laundry or keeping your room clean, your good at video games but wouldn't consider yourself a gamer. Your favorite movie is 6 underground, and you hate the sound a piece of chalk makes when it touches a chalkboard." Butch just looked at me, as I stared back at him. To be honest I was shocked I knew so much about him too.
"Wow…I-I…" I raised my hand,
"Don't make it weird…I kind of creeped myself out just now…" He shook his head and smiled,
"No…no it's not that…just never had someone pay so much attention like that before." My eyes went wide,
"I am not a creep! I'm your slave for Christ sakes…" Butch cut me off,
"Stop saying that…it has an ugly ring to it." I cocked my head and cracked a small smile,
"So, what would you call me?" Butch just looked at me, his eyes just lingering on me for a while. Instead of being uncomfortable, I was surprisingly calm about it. I didn't flinch I didn't move, I just let him observe me
"So, what about you?" I scoffed,
"So, you're just going to ignore my question?" Butch chuckled,
"I'm not inclined to answer it…but if you must know I'll give you an answer later. Now what about you?" I rolled my eyes,
"What about me?" He shrugged
"Favorite color?" I chuckled,
"Green." He squinted his eyes,
"Favorite food?"
"Candy Apples." He clicked his tongue,
"That figures…favorite music artist?" I snorted,
"I don't have a favorite, because I have so many favorite songs." Butch chuckled,
"Your one of those." I growled,
"I resent whatever your trying to say about me…" He smiled,
"So, tell me Butters, a human girl like you. So strong and independent…yet no boyfriend. What's that about?" I scoffed,
"Boyfriends are over rated…besides humans don't really have boyfriends. They have reproductive partners; it works out for some though…love always confused me." Butch grew silent as he and I just sat in each other's presence,
"So, what about love confuses you?" I shrugged my shoulders
"That it falls prey to anybody. What scares me is that you can't help who you fall in love with, your heart picks your soulmate…and it's always someone you least expect." What happened next surprised me, he hesitantly grabbed my hand, seeing if I would react to him. He didn't look at my face, he just stared at my hand, started to play with it, as if he were studying it.
"Do you believe it?" He whispered. I sighed, his grip on my hand tightening.
"I believe in fate…it brings everyone together for a reason…" I drifted off as Butch locked eyes with me, we were stuck in a trance. For some reason I didn't want to look away.
"Buttercup…" Butch didn't finish as he suddenly clutched his chest, ripping his hand away from mine and doubled over in pain. My eyes went wide with shock, Butch was groaning as if he were in agony. He looked as if he were fighting something, he looked up at me his eyes turning a darker shade of green, and his fangs starting to peer out. I didn't know how to react but I slowly began to back away, you can hear Nightmare growing concerned for his father as he tried to comfort him in his own way, trying to ease the pain. I slowly stood up and backed away because I wasn't sure what Butch was doing, but he was starting to freak me out. What seemed like forever Butch started to calm down and slowly began to stand. The minute he did, he looked as if he was recovering, he was breathing heavily and then he locked eyes with me. His eyed reading with a lot of confusion and anxiety. He began to mutter and I could barely make out the words he was saying,
"No…Impossible…no sense…" I narrowed my eyes I couldn't make out what he was saying.
"Butch…are you ok?" He snapped his eyes in my direction and walked straight for me. I tried to back away but he was quick, he forcibly grabbed my arm and started to harshly drag me back into the house. His grip on my arm tightened as he felt me trying to squirm, I was tripping over my own feet as he was pulling me faster then I could keep up.
"Butch…I can walk on my own…OW! Butch your hurting me…" He completely ignored me and just kept walking. He barged in through the doors, as he pushed past staff and anyone else in his way. Looking at the faces of the staff we pushed past, most of them had concern in their eyes. It was making me more and more nervous the more faces we passed. At this point now Butch was dragging me, and I was getting aggravated.
"Butch let me go!" Still ignoring me, he continued on his destructive path. He finally stopped once his cell phone began to ring, I was secretly grateful. But he continued his grip on my arm, refusing to let me go.
"What?!" He snarled into the phone. He waited a few moments listening to what the person had to say. He seemed to calm down slightly but he was still on edge,
"Fine…I'll be there in 5." He hung up and immediately spun in the other direction. Walking down the hall and around the corner, he walked straight towards the giant ballroom. The doors opened automatically and we walked in to meet his brothers, Ms. Bellum, Mitch, and Lord HIM. My sisters were standing in the back close to the wall next to the corner, there were also three people in the room I've never seen before. The first lady I noticed stood the closest to HIM, she had snakes for hair, she was wearing a red skin tight dress that displayed all of her assets. On her left stood a boy with glasses. He was well built but was still pretty skinny, but you could see his figure through his lab coat. He had shaggy auburn hair that fell in front of his face, on the other side of him was a smaller girl, she had brown hair that was held in a low ponytail. Her eyes were the color of lilac, and you can see the sparkles on her skin and her wings, she was beautiful. She was wearing a thin purple spaghetti strapped dress that stopped right in the middle of her thighs, which she gracefully filled out. I gasped as Butch dragged me over to my sisters, he spun me around placing me next to Blossom, both of his hands on my shoulders as to say he were positioning me.
"Don't move." I scoffed as he glared at me and walked over to the group of people in the middle of the ballroom.
"What was that about?" I looked over at Blossom as her and Bubbles gave me a questioning look. I shrugged my shoulders,
"I don't know…he just freaked out on me…" Bubbles nudged me as she whispered,
"We will talk about it later…now hush I'm trying to hear…" Simultaneously Blossom and I rolled our eyes. But it was true I was curious to know what was going on.
"Well it's nice of you to join us Butch." Butch growled at the lady with the snakes,
"Mom…" he said in a warning tone. She raised a brow, she was about to say something but HIM raised his hand,
"Leave it alone Sedusa. Anyways now that we're all here we can get this started. Ms. Bellum?" Ms. Bellum nodded abruptly,
"Yes, so as we know the boys 23rd birthday is happening this Friday, which is in three days. So, since this is a big deal your father has decided to make it a spectacle." Boomer, Brick and Butch groaned, HIM shook his head,
"None of that. This is your Jordan year this is a big deal." Sedusa clapped her hands,
"Finally, a reason to get drunk and celebrate." The boy with the glasses snorted,
"Since when do you need a reason to get drunk?" Ms. Bellum snickered, but immediately stopped once Sedusa glared at her, her head snapping back in the direction of the boy with glasses.
"Who invited the Wendigo? Don't you have forest to go terrorize?" Brick chuckled,
"Mom leave my best friend alone…and Dexter, dude quit bothering my mother." Both Sedusa and the boy known as Dexter huffed but remained silent. Ms. Bellum cleared her throat,
"So, like I was saying…we can do a formal party till about 10PM for family and friends. After that I figured you boys would want an after party, some place of your choosing." Boomer scoffed,
"We barely wanted the first party." The girl with the wings scoffed,
"Oh, shut up Boomer, you know you secretly wanted this." Boomer turned to the girl and shook his head,
"And that's why I'm getting a new best friend Robin." The girl now identified as Robin put her hands on her hips,
"You couldn't replace me even if you tried." Mitch chuckled,
"She does have a point I mean come on, Butch this is in your blood man! You were born to party." Butch scoffed but remained silent. Robin threw up her hands
"This could be the party of the century; you guys could be the talk of the kingdom." Brick chuckled,
"We are already the talk of the kingdom. Next." Dexter sighed,
"Dude, think about it. You three will be known for throwing one of the most epic monster parties in history. You will be legends." Boomer chuckled,
"Sounds like a promise." Dexter, Mitch and Robin grinned from ear to ear. Robin smirked,
"And who knows you might meet that special lady friend…" Mitch smirked as he looked at Robin
"Think I already found mine." Robin blushed but she rolled her eyes,
"You really are such a dog." Mitch winked,
"The best kind baby." Boomer just laughed as Brick and Butch both remained silent. Ms. Bellum shook her head,
"So, am I booking a space for an after party?" Everyone's attention turned to the boys, all three looked at each other and sighed,
"Yes." You could see the excitement in their friends faces. Ms. Bellum wrote on her clipboard as she nodded her head,
"Alright then, that means that you boys have to find time to meet with the in-house tailor to get fitted for your suits. HIM if you can prepare a speech that would be great as well…" Sedusa interrupted her,
"Ms. Bellum you can cancel whatever party planner you hired; I will be doing the planning." Ms. Bellum gave a sarcastic chuckle,
"As lovely as that would be Sedusa. That is already taken care of, you can show up for your fitting though. That would be a real help." Sedusa's snakes started to hiss at Ms. Bellum, who was unfazed at the action. HIM stepped in,
"Alright before this get's bloody. Let's talk guest list." Ms. Bellum raised her pen,
"Ah yes. The guest list for the after party needs to be decided…or we can do a V.I.P list and allow certain monsters into the section. However, you boys need to decide, please let me know by this afternoon…Dexter, Mitch and Robin please make sure you are at the tailors tomorrow. As a part of the inner royal circle, you will need to look the part. So please no monstrous behavior…" Mitch smirked as he grabbed Butch's neck under his arm
"No promises there." Butch chuckled, but you could tell he was distracted. What the hell was going on with this kid? HIM broke me out of my thoughts,
"The press will be there, so will Mojo and some of his mutants…" Both Dexter and Mitch growled at the mere mention of mutants, HIM raised his hand
"Yes, I know…but in the eyes of the public Monsters and Mutants have no standing feud. We are going to keep it that way, so when I say best behavior. I mean it boys…or the consequences will be severe." Mitch and Dexter nodded as they complied with HIM'S dark and warning tone. Ms. Bellum chimed in
"Is there any specific food that you want at this party?" Both Butch and Brick shook their head, Boomer cocked his head
"I want Bubble's Potato Scallops." The mere mention of my sister's name caused her to softly gasp. Blossom and I both looked at her, Blossom squinted at her and whispered
"Potato Scallops?" Bubbles was about to say something but she decided against it. Robin looked at Boomer with a confused looked,
"Um what the hell is a Bubbles?" Ms. Bellum looked even more confused,
"I'm sorry…did you just ask for a human dish?" Now everyone was staring at Boomer, who didn't change his stance. HIM looked at Boomer with confusion,
"Yes, explain yourself son…" Boomer shrugged
"I don't get what the problem is. We eat human food all the time…pizza, burgers, ice cream, fries…for god sakes Butch has a swiss roll addiction." Butch's eyes went wide
"Dude!" Mitch patted Butch's back,
"Dude…no need to hide…we all knew you had a problem." Ms. Bellum shook her head shifting her attention back to Boomer
"Ok I get the whole human's have delicious foods thing, but this is a Monster party, which means monster food." Boomer raised a brow,
"Aren't mutants going? Mutant's don't eat what Monster's eat…so regardless you were going to have to have human food." Ms. Bellum stood there not even knowing how to retort. Boomer cracked a smile waiting for her response, Robin beat her too it
"SO, no one is gonna tell me what a Bubbles is?" Boomer rolled his eyes,
"Robin, Bubbles isn't a what…she's a person." At that moment in time I knew Bubbles wished she was anyone else. As Boomer pointed over in the corner where the three of us stood. Now all eyes were on us. My sisters and I didn't move a muscle, Robin squealed as she flew over to us,
"OH, my goodness! Is she the one in blue…she is so adorable! Aw you three are the cutest little humans I've ever seen! Can we keep them?" Boomer chuckled,
"We already do…Robin get back over here." Robin pouted, but not before she 'bopped' my blonde headed sister on her nose and headed back to the group. Bubbles scrunched her nose,
"Did I just get bopped by a fairy?" She whispered; Blossom just sighed.
"Yes…yes you did." I shifted my focus back to Boomer as he shifted it back to Ms. Bellum
"So, are we good?" Ms. Bellum gave a dry chuckle,
"Well…Boomer you have to understand. You want Bubbles to make a dish for at least 200 plus guests…" Boomer looked at Ms. Bellum with a blank expression,
"I'm not seeing the problem." Ms. Bellum shook her head,
"Your right! There's no problem…no problem at all." Sedusa clapped her hands,
"Oooooh my boys need dates! Some of m girlfriends have the most beautiful daughters…" Brick cut his mother off
"No dates. The point of this party is to mingle is it not?" Butch snorted,
"I'm supposed to be living my best life at this party, can't do that if I got a piece of ass attached to me." Mitch howled as he grabbed both of Butch's shoulders and shook his friend,
"There's my boy!" HIM clapped his hand,
"Well if that's all than I have work to get back to. Ms. Bellum make sure that Mojo and his lackies arrive safely. You place them in the best hotel on our side, show those Mutants how we Monsters live. But I don't want an entire army here, he can bring maximum 12 people with him but that's it. Don't want my kingdom over run with Mutants…" Brick chuckled,
"Dad you do realize, we still do have some mutants living on this side of the hemisphere." HIM scoffed,
"Yeah and they're like the hardest vermin to get rid of…I mean go to the south for crying out loud!" Brick laughed but scoffed,
"Your impossible...why 12 though?" HIM Shrugged,
"Because 15 is too much." Ms. Bellum looked at her clipboard,
"Well if that's it. You guys can get on with your day, I am going to get this planning started…um…GIRLS! Come here!" Blossom nudged for Bubbles and I to walk over to Ms. Bellum as she followed behind, I started to get antsy once all eyes were on me again. I noticed that Sedusa was paying particular attention to us, and it made me shiver.
"Alright you girls follow me we have work to do." As Ms. Bellum began to make an exit, Bubbles and Blossom followed swiftly behind her. I lingered a little as I stopped to look at Butch, he refused to look me in my eye as I walked by. I scoffed, and walked past him as I caught up to my sisters and Ms. Bellum.
"What a weirdo."
