AN: Hello everyone! I'm sorry once again for not posting anything in a long time but i have been working hard on these future chapters and I've been in between jobs trying to stay in the green. So to my followers who have stayed with me this long and are waiting for anything i want to say thank you; you're awesome. If there's anyone (Characters) you wanna see in this store let me know and I'll do my best to write them in. If there's anything you wanna see that happens feel free to drop the idea and I will consider it. Well enough of my rambling on to the 3rd chapter of Buttercup's life. (Might change the title). Btw, everything is in Buttercup's point of view until it says otherwise.
"I said I'm not going Bubbles." Blossom said this time more sternly.
"What do you mean you're not going? It's a party and everyones gonna be there!" Bubbles whined.
"Not everyone... I should stay home and focus on my studies." Blossom ran her fingers through her bangs.
"But you never go out with us and have fun anymore… It's always study study study." Bubbles storms out and leaves the house. I watch her blue streak heads towards downtown so you already know where she's going.
I look at Blossom and don't say a word. I can't make her go to a party she doesn't wanna go to. Blossom goes back doing what she was doing; didn't look up and watch Bubbles stormed out.
The professor folded his paper and looked at my sister.
"Sweetheart, why don't you wanna go to the party?" he asked.
"It's just gonna be dumb people doing dumb irresponble things and I don't want to be part of it. I'm not like the other kids dad, I have a future to think about and no college is gonna want a girl who partied til past midnight. What do you think that will do to my track record?"
Oh god; here we go again. Blossom's rant on how everyone around her acts like children and she's too good to hang out with anyone. I stand up and go back upstairs.
"Sorry you feel that way." was all I said and went to my room.
No POV
The professor watched Buttercup go upstairs and close the door and he sighs deeply. She looked over at his "eldest" child. "Blossom look at me."
She did so and listened to what her father had to say. "Blossom, I'm proud of you for working hard and wanting to prepare to have a bright future. And you will; you're very smart, you get it from you old man." they both smile and chuckle.
"But sometimes you gotta have fun too. Yes, studying is important but so is your social life and being with your sisters."
Blossom looked down at her hands. "I want you girls to spend time together and do whatever it is teenagers do. I want you to experience everything out there and have fun while you still can. Cause then it will be all work and no play until you're 60." he booped her nose with a smile but blossom didn't return it.
"So you want me to go to a party where theres mostly gonna be drinking, doing drugs, making out and probably sex, and doing dumb stuff?" she asked, getting kinda upset that her father was basically telling her to not be safe in a way.
"Blossom, sweetie, I'm not telling you to go get drunk or high or anything like that. But there's nothing wrong with doing dumb things with your friends sometimes. Especially when it'll make a fun story to tell your kids or think about when you're older. You'll say 'Wow that was so much fun! I can't believe I did that!' and you'll laugh about it with others. I just want you to go out with your sisters and have fun. Be a teenager; go enjoy life."
Blossom thought about it as she looked at her father. "Did you ever do anything crazy my age dad?"
The professor laughed. "Ooh yeah, a lot of things. I remember my friends and I threw a house party when my parents were out of town. My friends convinced me it would help me get popular with the girls, so I did it. The party went off with a bang. I got drunk. I kissed a girl for the first time. And took my mother's car for a joyride to the beach with everyone at the party following me."
"Whoa you did all that?" Blossom asked, quite shocked at her father's store.
"Yep and then I woke up on the beach with most of everyone that was wasted out of their mind. I get home and the house is a mess. I had the worst hangover and my parents were coming home the next day."
"So what did you do?" Blossom was hooked into the story of her father's younger years.
"I fell asleep on the couch." The professor laughed til tears began to form. "I was so hungover I couldn't do anything, I was pitiful. My parents came home to the house being a complete mess, my mother made me clean the house from top to bottom and my father was proud of me that I had the guts to throw a party."
Blossoms face had a frown now. "So after all that you still got in trouble. I was thinking you got away with it."
The professor chuckled. "True I did get in trouble with my parents. Would I change my decision about that night if I had the chance? No. Because my friends and I had fun and will always go down as the best night of our lives. The next day the kids of my school gave me loads of street cred, I became not a total loser in the cool kids eyes and I got a few looks from the ladies."
Blossom was still not convinced. She shook her head. "As incredible as that story is dad, I still don't know."
"Well honey, it's your choice. If you want to stay home that's ok; but the more you stay shut in, the farther you and your sisters become." He kissed her forehead and went down to his lab.
Blossom watched her father leave and thought about this deeply. She took out her pink and whie iphone and called the only person she really only wanted to talk to.
*Riiiing* *Riiiing* *Riiiing* *Riii-*
"Hello?" said a calm voice.
"Hi Dexter, it's me." Blossom smiled into the phone.
"Hello Blossom what can I do for you this evening?" Blossom could hear the tinkering in the background which meant she knew he was in his lab working. Just her father.
"Well remember Princess's party I texted you about earlier today?" she twirled a lock of her hair, as she pulled her feet up on the couch.
"Yes, I do recall. What about it?" He asked not really showing any curiosity on the subject.
"Well.. I was thinking about going with my sisters and was wondering if you would like to join me? I would really enjoy your company if you came with me." She said with much confidence in her voice and hope in her heart.
"Blossom, you really can't be serious about going to that nonsense?"
Blossom bit the side of her lip. "Well kinda; I mean maybe it'll be fun and we're only young once so we should take chances right?"
"Blossom; I wouldn't be caught dead in that kind of crowd even if Princess paid me and neither should you. Think about it, I mean what would it look like; you, the leader of the powerpuff girls, the face of female empowerment and strong women everywhere, the smartest girl in school going to a horrid, immature, juvenile party full of delinquents that don't care about their future or don't already have one? What will people say as soon as you step foot there? What will they think? Your reputation will be destroyed before you can even apply to any colleges. And you want me to subject myself to that? I can't be seen around those kind of people. I'm sorry Blossom but I must decline your invite and highly suggest you do to and put away that thought far out of your mind." Dexter preached with so much disgust in his voice.
Blossom was crushed by his words, became speechless and looked down at the couch cushions, the patterns suddenly becoming interesting.
"Hello? Blossom did you hear me?" Dexter asked.
"Y-yeah. I heard you, I'm sorry." she said lowly, all the convindence gone.
"Good, I'm just putting your best interest at heart. There will be plenty of time to have fun in the future when you become successful and besides I'm sure you'll agree with me that studying is a lot more fun than being with a bunch of wild hooligans all over each other." Dexter continued.
"Yeah.. you're right, Dexter. Sorry I bothered you with that silly thought." She picked at the fabric of the couch.
"You are forgiven. Now I must go, I have something that requires my full attention right now." He stated.
"Oh ok.. Of course. Have a good weekend." she says, trying not to sound disappointed.
"As you as well." He said quickly.
"Maybe we could hang out later this wee-" *Click*
He had hung up on her. She laid her phone by her feet and slumped into the couch fully. Not noticing the person standing at the foot of the stairs.
"So thats the real reason why you don't want to go to the party."
Blossom turns and meets Buttercup's furious jade eyes. "Buttercup I-"
The front swings open and Bubbles walks in with a few shopping bags and an ice cream cone looking to be in a better mood than earlier; but she quickly reads the room looking between her sisters. Buttercup with the fire lit in her eyes and Blossom looking like she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
"What's going? What's wrong?" Bubbles asked with caution, not sure what she walked in to.
"Found out why she really doesn't want to go to the party." Buttercup never took her eyes off Blossom.
"You wanna tell her or should I?"
Bubbles looked at between her sisters. "Why?" She looked Blossom who seemed to have forgotten how to speak.
"Dorkster doesn't want to go because of his image and told Blossom not to go for the same reason. Worried about what others would think if she actually came to a party to have fun." Buttercup folded her arm and shifted her weight to one leg, her hip poked out.
Bubbles looked at her rose eyed sister, giving her the 'really bitch' look. "Really Blossom? Just because he wants to stay locked up with his inventions, should not stop you from hanging out with us. No matter what we're doing. I know you really like him but… damnit don't let him make decisions for you! Especially since you're not dating!" Bubbles was pissed.
"Thank God." Buttercup grumbled to which Blossom glared.
"I mean Boomer doesn't agree to some things I do or want to do but at least he doesn't control me." Bubbles began to rant.
"He's only looking out for me! He has my best interest at heart and cares about me and my image." Blossom boomed back, finding her voice again.
Buttercup rolled her eyes and Bubbles sighed deeply.
"No, WE look out for you. WE care about you and have your best interest at heart. WE are your sisters and he's some guy that's stringing you along without a care about how you feel in your heart." Bubbles put her bags down and sat on the couch next to Blossom.
Blossoms' eyes harden. "He is not stringing me along."
Bubbles took her sister's hands and looked her in the eyes full of love, care and sincere. "Blossom, yes he is.."
It was Buttercup's turn to jump in. "That boy is a robot his damn self. He loves his toys more than anything and I hate to say this sis, but everyone sees it but you; you've been friendzoned. Hard."
Buttercup leaned against the wall as Bubbles nodded agreeing with her green eyed sister.
"Another thing I'm sorry to say but it's the truth. The dork not only loves his toys but he has eyes for Olga.."
"Thats a lie." Blossom stated glaring daggers at Buttercup.
"It's not a lie. People saw him at her dance rehearsals and her leaving his house some days." Buttercup pressed.
"That's a lie!" Blossom raised her voice at her.
"People saw them ki-" Buttercup, thanks to her quick reflexes, blocked a blast of laser eye heat beams. Bubbles covered her mouth in shock. Blossom's face was red with anger, glaring at her sister and Buttercup glared back, not fazed by the attack.
"So, this is what we result to now? Throwing tantrums because we can't handle the truth? Or because you don't want to hear it?" Buttercup staying on guard slowly getting in her battle stance. Bubbles quickly stood up with her hands up between them.
"Girls stop!" she shouted.
"She blasted first Bubs.." Buttercup balled her fist.
"That's a lie. He's not with her." Blossom says again, her eyes glowing.
"And I will finish it if I have to.." Buttercup growled
It became a stare off once again between jade and rose eyes. Aquamarine looking between the two.
"He sure got off the phone with you in a hurry." Buttercup stated.
"He was busy doing something." Blossom defended.
Buttercup scoffed. "Something? Or Someone Bloss?"
That was the last straw. Blossom rushed towards Buttercup and Buttercup did the same. Blossom raised her fist to land an overhead attack and Buttercup raised hers to uppercut Blossom. But the blows never land. Holding both girls away from each other was the rowdyruff boys. Butch and Boomer holding Buttercup back with all their might while Brick and Bubbles held Blossom back.
If you're a normal person and you'd blink you've missed everything, so let's rewind and let's see this through a metahumans eyes.
Rewind back to moments ago
Blossom blasts Buttercup with her heat vision and Buttercup blocked. Bubbles gasped with her hands covering her mouth, shocked.
Bubbles saw the look in Buttercup's eyes and knew this wasn't gonna end well. Anyone knew if you had a death wish to never attack Buttercup and not expect to get a beating to last a lifetime. Buttercup and Blossom glared at each other and Bubbles quickly texted Boomer before she got between her sisters to calm them down.
Across town, Boomer was at home with his brothers playing Mortal Kombat 11 against Brick on the couch while Butch was lifting weights in the corner. Boomer beats Brick with a fatal blow and Brick groans annoyed. Boomer did his fatality on Brick's character.
"Fatality! Joker Wins!" announced the game and Boomer did a victory lap around the coffee table.
"OOOOOHHHHH! WHAT BOY!? ON ME! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Boomer cheered much to Brick's dismay.
Boomer's phone dinged. "Ooooh, not only do I win but I get a text from my sweet lady!"
His brothers rolled their eyes but saw how his face went from cheerful to pale instantly.
"Guys we gotta get to the girls house now and I mean now." Boomer said all too serious. Before they could ask him what was wrong Boomer shoved his phone onto their faces reading Bubbles message.
"SOS! BC AND BLOSS ARE ABOUT TO THROW HANDS! BRING YOUR BROTHERS HURRY ASAP!"
The boys eyes widened and shared a look. "You heard her, let's go! She can't stop them on her own!" Boomer was the first out the door taking into the sky with his brothers very close behind him. Bubbles saw them from the window, When they came through the door Buttercup and Blossom rushed at each other. In slow motion, Butch grabbed Buttercup's arms and Boomer grabbed her waist. Brick and Bubbles grabbed Blossom by her waist together holding her hands.
Buttercup struggled against Butch and Boomer, using all her strength to step closer to Blossom. The boys struggled themselves trying to hold her still. As she stepped closer, Brick and Bubbles pushed Blossom away.
"LET ME GO! LET GO OF ME!" Both girls screamed, throwing threats at each other.
"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU BUTTERCUP I'M GONNA-"
"YOU AIN'T GONNA DO SHIT BUT CATCH THIS FADE THAT'S BEEN LONG OVERDUE!"
All the screaming alarmed the professor who immediately came up stairs to see his daughters in a screaming match being held back by the boys and Bubbles.
"GIRLS!" The professor yelled at the top of his lungs, stopping and getting the girls full attention.
"What in the name plutonium is going here?!" he looked at everyone in the room, all of them out of breath for their own reasons.
"Well? I'm waiting." He tapped his foot waiting for an explanation as to why his children looked to be in a death match. Blossom and Buttercup started to talk at the same time, both trying to talk over the other getting louder and louder. The only words the professor was able to understand were lies, Dexter, party, friendzoned, and other things he would rather not repeat that came from Buttercup.
"Ok that's enough! Both of you in your rooms; I'll come talk to you once you calm down."
The girls glared at each other; the boys and Bubbles were afraid to even loosen their grip on the two.
"I mean it, Now!" the professor pointed up the stairs. Both of them relaxed their muscles knowing he meant it. Bubbles and boys slowly released them.
"Once again I get in trouble by you! Ugh I wish you..-" Blossom pulsed her lips together in anger as she started to walk towards the stairs.
"What? You wish what Bloss? Go ahead and finish your sentence!" Buttercup glared with Butch holding her tightly by the arm, afraid if she'll do something. Blossom turned to her and snarled at her.
"I wish you weren't my sister!"
It got dead quiet and cold. Bubbles' jaw quivered and the boy's eyes widened. Everyone saw the hurt in Buttercup's eyes, and Blossom regretted her words instantly. Before she could fix her mouth to apologize, Buttercup snatched out of Butch's grip and busted out the door in a gust of wind.
"Blossom Utonium. To your room now young lady.." The professor sounded so disappointed but the look on his face was worse. Blossom marched to her room, tears falling once she closed the door.
"Bubbles, You and the boys please go find Buttercup." he asked. They didn't say a word, they nodded and flew out the door, all taking a different route to find the green puff.
Bubbles went to Mandy's but she wasn't there. Brick and Boomer checked her other friends' houses but she wasn't there either. Butch checked the all her main go-to places she usually hides away at but so far she didn't turn up at any of them. Bubbles began to get worried to the point of tears. Boomer kept her calm and decided to take her home. Brick told her he and Butch would keep looking for her. Blossom never came out of room after the professor had a long talk with her. She sat by her window watching, waiting for her to come back home. She saw Bubbles and Boomer return alone. She opened her door slightly enough to hear Bubbles tell the professor they haven't found her yet. The Professor continued to try calling her but eventually it went straight to voicemail. 'She must have turned it off' he thought.
"You reached BC; Leave a message. *Beep*" came her voice through the speaker.
"Buttercup, please come home sweetie...Or at least call back soon. We can talk about this and work this out. I Love you." the professor hung up his phone leaving his message. Bubbles and Boomer sat in the living room together while the professor paced back and forth, sat down in his chair and got back up and paced and repeated.
It got dark soon, Brick and Butch returned back hoping she returned on her own but was left disappointed.
"Where could she be..? Where could she have gone?" the professor thought aloud.
"We checked everywhere; all her friends' homes, all her hiding places, even the school rooftop." Butch sighed.
Brick thought long and hard, not wanting to leave the Utoniums like this and not knowing if she's ok; regardless if she's a super. Brick thought if it was one of his bros he wouldn't stop til he found him. He was still in shock how all this happened. Sure, he and brothers argued and fought too but nothing.. Nothing like this.
Brick hummed in thought. "What would the last place anyone would think of that she would go to?.."
"I might have an idea…" everyone looked to see Blossom standing at the top of the stairs, face still stained with tears. "If I'm allowed to help…"
