Dinner with the couples was fairly quiet. The loud silence between Butch and Buttercup was all that was on everyone's mind but no one would say a thing. Blossom keep searching Butch's face for any type of emotion but came up with nothing. But something happened. Something that changed everything.
Once the waitress came and placed everyone drinks on the table, Brick knew too much time of silence had pasted. "So that was a nice pool party, huh?" That made Bubbles smile.
"That's code for Blossom and I had a nice make-out session, did anyone else?"
"Oh please Bubs, you and Golden Boy over there where practically dry humping in the pool. If the water wasn't chlorinated no one else would have gotten in" That made everyone at the table laugh except the greens. "So Butch did you like the party?" Brick was poking the bear, seeing how it would respond.
"It was nice very upper-class. A little too upper-class, I'm more into breaking shit if you ask me." He was beginning to open up until Buttercup opened her mouth.
"Of course you are because that's what you were made to do right? Break shit, like hearts and promises. Those amongst other things." Buttercup took a sip or her margarita, avoiding everyone's eyes. Butch was about to say something but Blossom was quick to but him off.
"You cant help but deal the cards you were born with" It was a small blow. Family versus family but hopefully she would overlook the double entre.
"You could stop playing the game as a whole, isn't that what we all decided to do? Stop playing the game?" That's when Buttercup looked at everyone for a response bit only Blossom had one.
"As much as we want out, we will never have it. So forgive and forget."
"I don't forgive and forget. I get even"
"And that's why you're stuck in this game." No one dared to stop the two. They seemed to be playing a word game that only they knew how to play. Blossom was breaking Buttercup, she was about to get to what this was truly all about.
"That doesnt dismiss what he did."
"Well what h-" Blossom was about to get to the good stuff when Butch interrupted.
"BLOSSOM! Mind your business. Buttercup can I have a word with you?" She didn't move. "Now!" He barked. She quickly got up and followed him to the restroom area...
The blues and reds looked at each other in confusion.
Butch and Buttercup stood in the shadows yelling at each other in hushed tones. "That was YOUR decision!"
"But it was all for YOU and to ensure YOUR safety"
"Was it worth it?! She might be pregnant now!"
"And she might not and HELL YEAH it was worth it. You're still alive aren't you. I ignored a message like that the first time and I lost my daughter! I don't want to lose someone else because of an ego!"
"You promised me you would never hurt me" Buttercup's voice was beginning to break in defeat. "I trusted you!"
"Buttercup you are being so damn selfish right now! WHAT ABOUT ME?! What about wat I experienced and what I went through? and the fact that I can't talk about it?! If you really cared you would change your whole attitude right now"
"AND IF YOU CARED YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GONE IN THE FIRST PLACE! YOU SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP FOR THIS RELATIONSHIP! Until you can prove to me that you can stand up for ME there is no US" Butch watched Buttercup storm away but couldn't help but notice how great she looked in that dress...
