Title: Testing Your Love

Rated: T

Genre: Romance/Humor

Summary: Bubbles feels as though Brick doesn't love her like he says he does. So she decides to test him, his response is ironically funny and heart warming.

Bubbles was beside herself. Brick was at work and was due to be home at any moment. Bubbles sighed and finally made the decision to do it. She was going to test Brick, or rather test his love for her. Ever since they had started dating and even before then, Bubbles knew Brick wasn't the expressive type. Unless he was expressing how angry he was or how annoyed he was.

Though he had been the one to ask out Bubbles he didn't really show how much he loved her. Other than the occasional arm draped over her shoulder the bored puppy dog eyes he gave her whenever he wanted a kiss. Bubbles didn't want to completely rule out the fact that he loved her, she wanted to believe he still did. He just wasn't...appreciating her at the moment. So Bubbles would remind him.

Bubbles had planned a whole elaborate setup to convince Brick that she had died. She called a Doctor she knew to call Brick on his cell, telling him she had died in a horrible accident, as soon as he read the note she had written on a note and placed on the bedroom desktop. The note read 'I went out and will be back soon. Love you! Bubbles' She expected that after Brick read the note and got the phone call, he would put 2 and 2 together and go into shock. Right then she would come out from under the bed and comfort him, explaining the whole thing and gaining a hearty laugh. That's what Bubbles planned at least. But alas, that was not what happened.

As Bubbles laid under their bed in their room, she heard the door open and she knew immediately that he was there. She could hear him walking around the kitchen and living room, dropping off his bags before finally coming up the stairs. Bubbles felt her body tense up a bit at the sight of Brick's black Doc Martens and ripped work pants. Brick turned the side lamp on and stared at the sky blue note Bubbles had placed. Brick picked it up with his gloved hands.

Bubbles held her breath as he read it and simply threw the note back on the desktop. Right then Bubbles texted Doctor Fax, 'Now!' Brick's black and red striped Iphone rang out in Brick's pocket before he could leave the room. In seconds, Bubbles heard Brick's deep smooth voice.

Brick: Hello?

Bubbles used her super hearing to hear what Doctor Fax was saying.

Doctor: Yes, hello, is this Brick Jojo?

Brick: Yea, why?

Doctor: Well I am calling to inform you of a, horrible accident that occurred today at 10:47 involving, your spouse, Bubbles Utonium.

Brick: ...What happened?

Doctor: Unfortunately she was taking a walk to a store when...

Bubbles's heart pounded as Doctor Fax told Brick the story she had come up with. She had come up with it on a whim and hoped it was believable enough for Brick to take it seriously.

Doctor: ...a massive truck swerved off the road and slammed into her and killed her instantly.

The room got quiet for a whole 3 minutes as Brick processed the new information. Bubbles could feel her excitement bubbling up inside her! Any moment now he would become a weeping, blubbering mess! Of course, Bubbles had never seen Brick cry before but she was confident that he would. After more silence, even Doctor Fax became a little nervous. Knowing how bat-shit crazy Brick could get at alarming news.

Doctor: Brick Jojo? Are you still there?

Brick: (throat raspy and rough) Are...you talking about Bubbles Utonium?

Doctor: Yes, your girlfriend, Bubbles Utonium.

Brick was quiet again.

Brick: Is this a joke?

Doctor: What?

Brick: Is this a joke?

Doctor: No, I assure you, Bubbles Utonium is dead and we need you to come in to the hospital immediately.

Brick: Alright, sure.

Bubbles was confused. Why did he seem so ok with her being dead? Shouldn't he be falling apart?

Doctor: Alright?

Brick: Alright, I'll be right there. But let me have a cup of beer first.

Doctor: Um, very well. I'll see you soon.

Brick didn't even say goodbye as he hung up. Bubbles felt the urge to come out now but the point was lost. Brick didn't seem the least bit sad or overwhelmed. What was the point of comforting him now? Bubbles decided to wait a little bit, maybe he just didn't want to freak out in front of Doctor Fax. To keep his 'don't care' reputation. Maybe Brick was just about to fall to his knees and cry out Bubbles's name!

But no. Brick simply called someone on his cell.

Brick: Hey Babe.

Babe?! Who was Brick calling Babe?! He hadn't figured out she was there, had he?!

Brick: Nah, i'm home alone. The fucker finally died and left me. Now we can get it on in peace! Isn't that great? (person on the other line says something) Ha! I know right?

Bubbles could feel her heart literally breaking. Brick was cheating on her!? After everything they've been through!? Bubbles's body trembled and she could already feel tears starting to pool in her eyes.

Brick: Anyway, come over! You can sleep on her side if you want? (person says something)

Bubbles tried to use her super hearing to hear the other girl's voice but she couldn't concentrate! Bubbles started making silent sobbing noises as she listened to Brick's voice speak.

Brick: Alright...alright. Love ya! Bye!

Brick hung up the phone and Bubbles watched as he wrote something else on the note Bubbles had made and left the room.

If Bubbles wasn't sure about Brick's love then, then she definitely knew now! A seemingly harmless prank had ruined her life! How was she supposed to go on now? Would she keep dating Brick even though she knew he was cheating? Would she confront him? Did she have the guts to do that?! Bubbles cried some more under the bed until she decided she would confront him, downstairs. But first, with tears streaming down her cheeks, she read the note Brick had left.

'Bubbles, you ain't slick. I could see your cute ass toes from under the bed. I ain't cheating and you ain't dead. You may have fooled me in the beginning but I could tell you weren't dead. You wanna know why? Cause my heart is still intact. I'm still alive. You know why I say this? Cause if you died, I would kill myself. You are too important to me for you to NOT be a part of my life. You are hot as hell, kind and the best thing that ever happened to me. Fuck other girls who think you ain't good enough for me. Cause it's the other way around! Bubbles, I love you more than anything and I know, I'm a dumbass for not showing it more. I know it seems like the only times I'm acting all romantic is when I want sex. But the thing is, I'm not good with words, hell, I could barely make out the words ''Will you go out with me?'' but I make it work don't I? You may not notice it and I may not really express it but I DO worry about you everyday and I DO try to protect you from everything and anything even though I know I can't and, yes, I DO love you. So can we please go on with our lives now? Now come downstairs for some tea, it's almost done. 3 PS. Sorry for making you cry.'

By the end of the note, Bubbles was crying tears of joy. Brick DID love her! He wasn't cheating on her! Bubbles couldn't hold her happiness in any longer, she flew downstairs and before Brick could say a word, Bubbles placed her hands on either side of his face and kissed him hard. Brick naturally leaned into the kiss.

When they finally came up for air, Bubbles's usually pale face was light pink. Brick handed her, her tea and they sat together on the couch, watching movies. Finally after their 3rd movie, Bubbles just had to ask the question.

Bubbles: Can I ask you one thing?

Brick: Sure. (sips Beer)

Bubbles: How did you write all that on just one sticky note?
