Chapter 2: Dodgeball
~Blossom~
I brushed my long auburn hair, pulling it up into a ponytail.
"Blossom!" Bubbles called from down the hall. "Come on! I don't wanna be late!"
I laughed. "That's funny Bubbles, cause we're usually the ones waiting on you." Buttercup sniggered.
"No! I'm always on time!" Bubbles countered.
Me and BC rolled our eyes playfully.
"Oh no!" Bubbles said with worry. "I forgot to kiss Mr Ham goodbye!" She ran back upstairs to give her pet hamster a kiss.
"Yeah, always on time." Buttercup said sarcastically.
We both burst out into laughter as we grabbed our bags. We all headed out the door, saying our goodbyes to the professor.
"I'm soooo excited for the dodgeball tournament!" Buttercup pumped her fist into the air with excitement.
"I'm not!" Bubbles whined.
I laughed to myself. Of course Buttercup would be excited about the upcoming dodgeball tournament and Bubbles wouldn't be. Everyone in our Phys Ed had to participate in the tournament. I wasn't thrilled about it but it didn't bother me either.
"I can't wait to cream everybody!" Buttercup yelled with excitement.
"Just no using your powers." I teased her with a serious voice while pointing my finger.
"Rules are meant to be broken, Bloss." Buttercup said with a rebellious tone.
We just laughed. We tried our best not to use our powers in gym, but sometimes it was hard not to.
"Broken like my bones after today!" Bubbles continued to whine.
"Bubbles you just need to be quicker, and less... well, being a target." Buttercup suggested.
"And don't cry everytime someone hits you."
"I do not!" Bubbles scoffed with another whine. "But sometimes I can't help it! I'm delicate."
We laughed.
"Besides, Buns is the one who cries all the time..." Bubbles mumbled quietly.
"She's just shy Bubbles," I said. "And don't worry! Buttercup is just so excited because she likes that kind of stuff. Isn't there something you like coming up soon?"
Bubbles' face brightened. "You're right! I have a new art assignment coming up!"
Buttercup pretended to gag herself.
"Oh shut up Buttercup!" Bubbles tried to yell, which ended up coming out as a squeak.
"Oh! Wait! There is this really cool carnival coming up soon too!"
"Boringgggg!" Buttercup pretended to gag herself again.
I just laughed as Bubbles whined at BC.
Buttercup continued as she ducked from Bubbles' flying swipe. "Just as boring as Blossom's English project!" She turned it around on me.
"Hey it's not like you even started."
I shot her a slight glare as Bubbles started laughing, as if she totally forgot about the snarky remarks Buttercup had given her. We reached the school about 10 minutes before the bell would ring. Bubbles and Buttercup went off to talk with our friends Blair and Bunny, while I decided to go sit on a nearby bench and finish my homework.
I looked up at the sky, noticing how clear today was, not a cloud in the sky or worry in the air. I started wondering what it'd be like if the sky was always like that, with no villains or monsters destroying Townsville. Our job would be a lot easier. It sure would be nice. Sometimes I wonder when me and my sister's powers would finally leave our bodies like the professor said they would. We would have a lot more time on our hands. I started to feel a little on edge, as I felt someone's eyes were on me.
"Day dreaming, puff?" I heard a voice from behind me.
I recognized that voice. It belonged to the most annoying, irritating, cocky jerk I had ever met.
"Brick," I said lowly. "I thought I recognized your irritating presence."
He scoffed. "That's very hurtful, pinky." He said sarcastically, humour in his voice.
"What do you want?" I asked bluntly.
He shrugged. "Oh nothin'. Just noticing the look on your face."
"What look?" I said with slight annoyance, closing the book I had been reading.
"That stupid look on your face when you're reading." He walked up closer to me with a smug grin plastered on his face.
"Whatcha ya reading?" He ripped the book from my grasp.
"Why you little..." I reached up to grab my book but he held it over his head. Since when did he get so tall? I wondered. I blushed slightly.
"Actually Blossy, if I'm not mistaken, I'm taller than you, so wouldn't you be the little one?" He said with a sneer, dangling my book just out of my grasp.
"Ugh, Brick just gimme my book back!" I said with annoyance as I clenched my fists.
"Don't you mean give me?" Brick teased more. "Come on Pinky, you should know better than to use improper grammar, you are the dorky one after all! Well guess not, stupid."
I clenched my fists tighter. I had had enough of this! I was about to just punch him in the gut and steel my book back when a teacher called my name.
"Ms Utonium! Mr Jojo!" Mrs Frank yelled.
We turned our attention to her as she gave us a stern look.
"Please tell me the student handbook rule on page 1 section 4."
I spoke up. "No fighting with another student, whether it being physical or verbal."
"Very good," she said, her face becoming more stern as she looked at Brick.
"Do respect that rule."
"Yes ma'am." We both said.
Mrs Frank turned toward the school and walked away. I shot Brick a glare and swiped the book out of his grasp. I picked up my bag, about to go find my sisters.
"Blossom," I could hear Brick call behind me.
"Whatever," I muttered and turned away. I met up with my sisters and we headed into the school.
~Normal POV~
"Three... two... one... GO!"
The whistle blew, and the game begins. It Phys Ed class - Buttercup's favorite class - and it was time to play a little dodgeball. Everyone started running. Boys grabbed the balls from the centre line and began whipping them at the opposing team. Buttercup, Blossom and Blair were able to make it to the centre line and grab a few balls before the boys could start throwing.
Brick, Butch and a guy named Baxter all threw their balls, all hitting a different girl on the opposing team. Boomer, on the other hand, was staring off into space.
"BOOMER JOJO!" The boys' gym teacher, coach Greenwall yelled from the side of the gym. He was a pretty ferocious gym teacher, and it was rumoured he got it from the army.
"STOP STARING OFF INTO LA LA LAND AND PLAY!"
Boomer snapped back to reality and saluted him. "Sir yes sir, captain!"
His coach started to get annoyed. "DO YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY? We are NOT on some kind of pirate ship! We are NOT in the army! We ARE playing dodgeball! SO PICK UP A BALL!"
Boomer obeyed and grabbed a nearby ball. The blue ruff sped to the centre line and whipped his ball, hitting a snobby girl.
"Oh yeah!" Boomer yelled with excitement.
"Boomer! Get over here!" Brick called, grabbing his brothers attention.
The three brothers and their friend Baxter and a couple of other guys positioned themselves in a row.
"Ready... aim..."
Across the gym, Blossom and Buttercup spotted what the boys were planning.
"Girls, scatter!" Blossom yelled, running away from the centre line.
"Fire!" Brick yelled.
The boys all raised their dodgeballs and fired at the girls. A swarm of red dodgeballs rained down onto the girls, hitting most of them.
Brick and Butch started yelling. "You're out! You're out! And you're out!"
"Buttercup!" Blossom yelled, running to her sister.
"What do you think we should do?"
"Kick their asses!" Buttercup said with a devilish look. She ran and grabbed two balls, firing them at a nerdy guy across the line.
"Hell yeah!" She yelled as he got hit in the stomach.
"You're out!"
Blossom followed suite. A ball landed near her, almost hitting her. She quickly grabbed it and threw across the gym, hitting Mitch Mickelson.
"Aw come on! Who hit me?!" Mitch yelled as he marched over to the bench in anger.
"Hi Buttercup!" Bubbles suddenly popped up beside the green Puff.
"Gahhh!" Buttercup jumped in surprise. "Bubbles! Don't sneak up on me! You know that!"
Bubbles giggled mischievously. "Sorry!"
Buttercup muttered. "Just focus, okay?"
With that Buttercup ran to grab another ball.
Bunny came up beside Bubbles.
"Hi Bunny!" Bubbles said cheerfully, forgetting to focus on the game.
"Oh hi Bubbl- ahhh!" Bunny screamed as she got hit in chest by a dodgeball.
"Ohh... looks like I'm out..."
Bunny looked as if she were about to cry. She hugged her chest and slowly walked over to the bench.
Bubbles gasped. "Don't worry Bunny! I'll avenge you!"
Bubbles looked across the gym to see it was Boomer who had hit Bunny. He was busy doing a victory dance to notice Bubbles approaching him.
I'll get Boomer! She thought to herself. She picked up the ball and walked up to the centre line. Boomer finished his dance and looked up to see Bubbles standing there right in front of him. Boomer flashed her a smile. Bubbles smiled sweetly. VERY lightly, she tossed her ball at him, and it hit the tip of his hand.
Bubbles puffed up her chest and yelled. "You're out!"
She giggled sweetly and skipped away to her sisters, who were staring at her with surprise that Boomer didn't see her coming.
Boomer stood there in shock, looking down at the ball that lightly touched his hand. Confused, he murmured.
"Huh..."
"That was the weakest, girliest, horrible shot I have ever seen! And that got him out!" Brick said to Butch as they smacked their heads.
"BOOMER!" The boys all screamed at the blonde boy.
Boomer sweat dropped. "Heh heh..."
He looked to his brothers to see they were glaring at him disappointedly.
"Just go sit on the bench..." Brick muttered.
Boomer slowly walked over to the bench with his head low.
On the opposing team, Blair was dodging balls that Baxter was throwing at her. They started chucking balls at each other with anger. A ball rolled near her and she quickly picked it up. With a smirk, she threw the ball and it hit Baxter's shoulder.
"Ha ha! You're out!" She yelled.
"How do yah like me now?!" She smirked while slapping her thighs.
A lot more now... Baxter thought and slightly blushed, walking over to the bench.
Meanwhile, Brick quickly grabbed a dodgeball and aimed it at Blossom. He put all of his strength into it, generating his power into the ball. Dodging an incoming ball, Blossom noticed Brick glaring at her but with a smug look on his face, like he was going to enjoy what he was about to do. A ball in hand, ready to be thrown.
Oh shoot, this is gonna hurt, Blossom thought, as Brick fired the ball her way. Using her powers, she quickly was able to side step before it just skimmed her arm.
"That was close," she breathed out. She looked over to see him with another ball in hand.
"Oh crap!"
Brick lifted the dodgeball, about to throw it.
Suddenly the whistle blew, signalling the end of the game.
"Alright everyone, balls in the bin, go get changed!" Coach Greenwall called.
Blossom sighed heavily, mentally thanking the coach for saving her butt from having a bruise. She looked back at her counterpart, who was no longer standing where he was, now walking to the boys change room. She turned away quickly, grabbing her water bottle as she walked into the girls change room.
Either Brick was just teasing me for getting him in trouble, or he was actually trying to kill me! Blossom thought with worry, but quickly pushed her thoughts aside. She walked into the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror as she fixed her hair. Sighing, she turned to leave but suddenly, pain shot up her body. She clenched her side, as she felt a dizzy haze wash over her. She began backing away to the door, when she suddenly slipped on some kind of liquid on the floor. Before she could even cry out in pain, someone came in the door. But they didn't look like any of the students - she could barely see their face with the haze in her eyes. Then, everything went black.
That's chapter 2! Kind of a cliffhanger there :P
