Buttercup ended up eating more than a bite or two, somehow she even had space for ice cream.
"Thank you again for the wonderful food, grandma," Buttercup said. "See you at work tomorrow, Sanford."
She flew off in a flash of green light. Grandma's jaw dropped. "She can fly?" Grandma exclaimed.
"Yeahs, she'ss stills one ofs the Powerpuffs Girlss, theys alls have superpowerss," Snake said.
...
"Did you get the email?" Buttercup asked. "It's the hundred and twentieth anniversary of the company so there's going to be a corporate dinner and dance this Friday evening."
"Yeahs, I gots the emails too. Buts I'ms nots comings. I'ms too shys," Snake said.
"You don't actually have to dance, you can just eat a fancy dinner at a hotel and watch the show," she said.
"I've nevers beens ins a fancys hotels," he said.
"Come on, it'll be fun. When else can you dress up? Besides, I'll be going," Buttercup said persuasively.
"Are you askings me outs ons a date, Miss Utoniums?" Snake asked.
She merely laughed. "See you there," she said, turning to leave.
...
The day arrived, all workers were allowed to leave work early.
"You look nice, Sanford. Your hair's been slicked back, it makes you look really handsome," Buttercup said appreciatively.
Snake blushed. "Ahs, th-thanks you Buttercups. You're nots dresseds ups fors the dinners?" He asked.
"No, I'm changing later," she said.
"Ohs, I didn'ts knows thats. I alreadys wore thiss suits to works todays, it'ss the fanciests one I owns so I'ms nervouss thats I'lls ruins its," he said.
"Since you'll be my date tonight, do you mind accompanying me back to my apartment? My dress is there. After I get changed, we can arrive at the hotel together," Buttercup said.
...
He sat nervously on her couch.
"Alright, let's go," she said.
Snake's jaw dropped. Buttercup was wearing a plunging V neck dress. It was made of green velvet which complemented the green of her eyes. When she moved, the dress revealed a thigh high slit.
"Snake, are you alright?" Buttercup asked.
"I-I'm fine," he said. His eyes widened as he realised. "Waits whats? Mys lisps wass gone fors a moments there."
She laughed. "You were so surprised to see me, you forgot to lisp," Buttercup teased, slipping her arm in his.
...
She was stunning, Snake knew. He could feel the jealous glances at his direction with Buttercup on his arm. She chatted easily and confidently. It was the opposite for him, he was too self-conscious of his lisp to reply beyond one-word answers.
The dinner courses had all been served. The event was finally drawing to a close. The emcee invited couples to dance to end the night.
"Shall we dance?" Buttercup asked. "After all, it's the last dance."
"Yess, buts you'lls have to teachs me. I don'ts knows hows to dance," he confessed.
"It's just like this...," Buttercup said, guiding his right hand to her waist. "Relax," she said, grasping his other hand in hers. "You can't dance if you're stiff like a stick man."
Buttercup placed her other hand on Snake's shoulder. "Now, we just follow the music," she said, swaying back and forth.
Having Buttercup so close to him was really affecting him. Plus, Snake could not help himself from being drawn to her cleavage.
"Ahem," Buttercup said.
"Sorry, ah, you're very beautiful tonight," He blurted.
She laughed. "Your lisp is gone again," she said. Buttercup leaned in to him, resting her head on his shoulder. They stayed like that until the end of the song.
A round of applause and the emcee wishing them all a good night. People started to stream out of the doors.
Buttercup's cheeks and neck were flushed. "Ugh, I shouldn't have drank too much," she said, stumbling slightly in her high heels. Snake quickly supported her in his arms and she leaned on him heavily.
"I'lls sends you home, okays?" He said.
"Thanks, I'm too drunk to even fly back to my apartment. Usually I have better control," she said. "And sorry."
"Don'ts be," Snake said.
...
He let them into the apartment. Snake lifted Buttercup up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He placed her on the bed but she did not let go of his neck, pulling him towards her.
Snake fell on top of Buttercup. She kissed him. He moaned and kissed her back harder. They were breathless now and Snake rolled over to the side of the bed. He sat up from the bed, panting heavily.
Buttercup also sat up from the bed. Snake fell silent when she slipped her dress off her shoulders, baring her breasts.
His eyes widened. "Snake, I know you've been wanting to do this the whole night..." Buttercup whispered. She grasped his hands, leading them to her chest.
He shyly touched her, feeling her soft breasts. Her nipples were hard, she gasped when his fingers brushed against them. When she lay back down, Snake was driven by instinct now.
He lowered his head to her breasts and covered them with his mouth. She moaned as he sucked and flicked her nipples with his tongue, alternating between both her breasts.
Her hands wandered to the zip of his pants.
"Buttercups, I'ms a virgins," Snake said, panicking. "I don'ts knows hows..."
"Relax, I know what goes where," Buttercup said. He blushed. "This is... also my first time."
"Buts I thoughts Ace-" he said.
"I wasn't ready, and it's a good thing I didn't let him. Because he already cheated on me with some other girls, said he couldn't wait," she said.
He hugged her. "You're worths the waits, Buttercup. You knows, I've alwayss likeds you. I justs thoughts you didn'ts wants me anymore, especiallys since you stoppeds meetings me afters the things withs Ace.
"Thens somehows, ours pathss crosseds agains. I hads no idea I wass goings to be workings withs you," he said.
"Maybe it was fated? Bubbles and Blossom always said it was fated when they met their husbands. I really like you too, Snake," Buttercup said. She kissed him, her hands moved to his pants again.
