Chapter 5

Bubbles panted as she skidded to a stop outside the coffee store Ms. Bellum had said for them to meet her at. The pig-tailed blonde hadn't realized she'd completely lost track of time wandering through the mall and, after realizing she was on the opposite side of the large building, had to run to the quaint coffee place.

"Bubbles over here!"

Bubbles turned her head to her name being called and, upon realizing it was her sister, Buttercup, who had called her, she hurried over to the table she was sitting at. When she finally sat down in one of the large comfy armchairs and took a sip of her steaming hot chocolate, Bubbles noticed that Blossom seemed to have a dazed look in her eyes. She was about to ask her about it when Ms. Bellum interrupted-

"I'm going to the bathroom girls, I'll be back in a bit"

Bubbles decided to wait until the Mayor's assistant was out of earshot before asking Blossom about her strange dazed look.

"What's up Bloss'? You haven't spoken in a while." asked Bubbles, concerned. Buttercup also started listening attentively having also noticed that their sister was acting out-of-sorts. Now, what the two sisters didn't expect was for the red-head to sigh and smile dreamily.

"I met a guy…" sighed Blossom, absentmindedly stirring her spoon in her, now cold, hot chocolate.

"A guy?!" screeched Buttercup, incredulously, causing the surrounding people to stare. Blossom waited for Buttercup to calm down and the people to turn away before continuing.

"Yes, a guy, and a very cute and nice one at that," Stated Blossom. Buttercup just huffed and showed no signs of interrupting so Blossom continued "He was our age, well, I mean, our new age, and he had red hair, like mine, but darker, and his eyes were this really nice crimson colour…" Bubbles widened her eyes a little at this comment, something flickering at the back of her mind.

"He doesn't sound that great to me." Buttercup mumbled, not too interested anymore.

"You're just jealous because you didn't meet a guy!" replied Blossom indignantly.

"I did meet a guy as a matter of fact!" said Buttercup, not one to lose an argument.

"Oh, really? Then describe him." said Blossom, not believing a word her sister said.

"He was our new age, and he had really dark hair, ebony now that I think about it, and his eyes were a dark emerald green." Buttercup scowled trying to remember the jerk she met at the sports store.

"Wow, seems like this guy really made an impression on you." Said Blossom.

"Yeah…" trailed off Buttercup remembering his stupid cocky smirk and the way he called her his girl. She blushed at the memory, trying to force it from her mind.

"Wait… are you… blushing?!" questioned the redhead, a smirk forming on her lips.

"What? No! Don't be stupid!" cried Buttercup, the blushing beginning to be more evident on her cheeks.

"Right…" said Blossom slyly, knowing her sister all too well. It was at that moment that she noticed Bubbles hadn't said something for a while.

"Bubbles? What's wrong? You look a little distant." Questioned Blossom, hoping to get a perfectly normal answer, not the one that came out of the blonde sister's mouth.

"They're… they're like… I mean, they're just like…" started Bubbles not being able to form the words from finding what she was thinking too unbelievable.

"Who are like what, Bubbles? You mean the guys we met? I don't understand what you're trying to say." said Blossom, beginning to get worried at her sister's behavior. She also noticed Buttercup out of the corner of her eye, her face too showing concern.

"… They're just like the Rowdyruff Boys." Finished Bubbles, causing her sisters to sit in a shocked, but understanding, silence.

Ooh, Bubbles is certainly quite perceptive in my story isn't she? Well, I finally got another chapter up; due to all the reviews I got for the last one! It really means a lot to me that all you guys really like my story! I mean, when I first started, I thought it wouldn't be popular at all, so I decided to not continue, but then I got a really, really powerful review from someone (at least, it was powerful for me! ) and so I decided that I wanted to definitely continue and finish this story. So, yeah, thanks for all the reviews – it really means a lot to me!
