Before It All

Wednesday, December 21

Blossom's pretty pink eyes fluttered open. She jumped out of her bed and got ready. She got a shower, put on a hot pink tube top and miniskirt, and then straightened her hair and brushed it 100 times. Then she did her make-up. She put on some metallic looking pink eye shadow, with mascara, and lip gloss that made her lips look wet. She pulled on her pink coat with pink fur and fur balls on the draw string. Then she put on her furry pink earmuffs, and put on her pink snow boots with furry balls on the some pink string that was for show. She looked very pretty. She stuffed her lip gloss into her coat pocket for later…just in case she needed any touch-ups. She grabbed her pink scarf and threw it over her neck. The scarf was the same pink as the rest of her attire, and it had pink ribbons hanging off of it at the end. She walked down the stairs to the kitchen. She heard the clanging of silverware. They were eating. Blossom never ate breakfast, so she didn't care that she missed breakfast. She walked into the kitchen.

"Well good morning sweetheart," said the Professor cheerily," What would you like for breakfast?"

"I'm not all that hungry," she replied.

"Um, ok."

"So, where are we going to go boarding?" she asked sitting down next to Brick, even though there was another chair by Bubbles.

"The Townsville slopes off course! They are on the outskirts of town in the woods…perfect for boarding," he responded.

"This is all the conversation I can get out of this guy! What a Mr.Social," she thought.

To her surprise Brick tried to make conversation.

"So…do you know the basics of boarding?" he asked.

"I think I do," she said with a smirk. She knew she was an expert snowboarder, but she did want to tell them that. They might think she was bragging.

She could tell he was a little uneasy talking to her. She frowned.

"Well, looks like everybody is ready to go," said Blossom.

"You all go on ahead I have to clean up," Brick said with a frown with a hint of irritation in his voice. He shot an "I hate you" look at the Professor.

"Hmmm…I have an idea," said Blossom with an evil smirk. Her eyes glowed a bright pink, as did her hands. She flew around the room at top speed creating a whirlwind. When the whirlwind stopped, everything was perfectly cleaned and in their proper places. She gave a satisfied smirk. Everybody stared at her with awe.

"Cmon' let's go!" she said excitedly.

They all flew of in a rainbow of pink, red, blue, baby blue, green, and light green. Brick led the way. They landed at a snowboarding place in the Townsville woods. It looked beautiful. There were many people already there. There were food restaurants and stands.

"So….what slope do you all want to do first?" asked Brick.

"Danger Cliff," said Buttercup with an evil smirk. Blossom wouldn't be able to board, or so she thought.

"Ok, let's go!" Blossom said excitedly.

"Wait a sec…. Blossom, I though you said you were a beginner boarder?" asked a suspicious Brick.

"Um, I, erm…can always try it. Let's just hurry up and board!" she said quickly.

When they got to the slope, Blossom realized Buttercup was trying to make her look bad. A determined frown got on her face.

"So…who's going first?" asked Brick.

"I will," said a determined Blossom.

"This is a slope for experts…maybe you should just watch," he replied.

"No. I am an expert," said Blossom.

She shoved her board off, and shot down the slope at top speed. She got to the first ramp and shoved her body into the air. She did a 360, 5 back flips, 4 front flips, a backside 180, and an indy grab. She did a perfect landing. She rapidly dodged the trees, rocks, and debris from unsuccessful snowboarders. Then she hit her 2nd ramp. She launched her body in the air. She did a 720 spin, 360, front flip – back flip combos, and stuck the landing. She made her turn and did a Giant Slalom I. Then she did a Giant Slalom II. On her 3rd ramp, she did a Haaken flip, Inverted aerial, and landed with a McTwist. On her next ramp, she shot of and did a Method Air. On her next ramp, she thrust herself so high, that she spun around and shot out some lasers, and then she had a perfect landing. For her ending, she thrust herself higher than ever off her last ramp and did a Tail Grab. She did a Giant Slalom I to stop. There was a mass of people huddled around the slope. They had obviously seen her performance. They clapped and cheered. She blushed and searched for her sisters, and their family friends, the Rowdy Ruff Boys in the crowd. She finally found them. She un-strapped her feet from her board, stepped on the end and it shot up in the air (not very high), and then she caught it (like how they do with skateboards). She then began to walk over to where her sisters and the RowdyRuff Boys were standing. Her sisters had a jealous/ angry frown on their faces. The boys looked shocked.

"B-B-But you said you were a beginner," mumbled an astounded Brick.

"I am sorry, but I lied. I thought you all would think that I was bragging if I told the truth. I am really sorry," said an ashamed Blossom.

"Blossom, we would have never thought that," replied Brick.

"Yeah," chimed in Boomer and Butch.

"But they- I'll tell you later," she said with a tone of sadness in her voice.

"Cmon' let's keep on boarding. It'll be fun," said Brick.

They boarded the whole afternoon. Blossom even taught the boys some new tricks. Brick really picked up fast. They all flew home for a good dinner. After dinner, Brick did his chores, and went right to bed…again, much to Blossom's disappointment. She really was lonely. Boomer saw that and they talked about art mostly. Boomer told Blossom about his drawings and even showed her some and Blossom showed Boomer some of hers. They soon grew tired and went to bed.

"Boomer is really nice…but I still wish Brick would talk to me. I guess my crush on Brick is just my dirty little secret," thought Blossom with a smile. She loved that song.

Thursday, December 22

Blossom's pink eyes fluttered open. Her alarm clock read 5:00am. She got out of her waterbed and got ready like she did for the snowboarding yesterday. Except, she wore a different shirt and skirt. She wore a hot pink miniskirt that was barely covering her butt and she had a pink shirt that said "Boys:

1. Put up with Blondes

2. Like Brunettes

3. Love Redheads For Life"

She smiled at her reflection in her mirror. She silently crept up on the roof to see the sun set. There was somebody already there. It was Brick. She walked up to him and sat beside him.

"You do this every morning?" she asked.

"Yeah, you?" he replied.

"Yeah," she responded.

"Why did you lie to us?"

"Because…I was afraid my sisters would get jealous and make it a miserable time, and then when Buttercup did that I got so mad that I blew it. I am really sorry. Please don't hate me."

"Hate you? Why? It's ok. I can't believe Christmas is almost here and that we-"

"OMG! CHRISTMAS! I FORGOT TO GET GIFTS! I HAVE TO GO SHOPPING…NOW!"

"Oh…well see ya'."

"Come with me! It'll be fun!"

"Ok."

The two flew over to the mall. Blossom asked Brick what which person liked and etc. She got an art set for Boomer and Bubbles. She got a new punching bag for Buttercup and Butch. A molecular scanner with combined lasers for the Professor, but she had no idea what to get Brick. They enjoyed each other's company greatly. Brick even did some Christmas shopping. Blossom noticed that he studied what she looked at when they went to Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch after she had "finished" her Christmas shopping. Maybe he was getting a present for her…no he could not like her the way she liked him.

"I'm starved! Let's get something to eat," said Brick…he was much for comfortable speaking to her now.

Blossom agreed and they went to the food court. Blossom and Brick got Pizza Hut and some smoothies from Smoothie King. They talked about lots of things and each enjoyed each others company. Both loved each other but were afraid to voice it.

Friday, December 30

Days had past and it was December 30. Blossom and Brick had become more than friends during this month. It was a fast growing relationship, but it was true love at first sight. Even when Brick had hated her he had loved her in a special way. Today was the day. He was going to ask her to be his girlfriend. He was so nervous that she would say 'no'. He tried to think of how he would ask her as he lay in his bed at 3:00am. All he could think of was her. He saw her everywhere. He decided it was pointless just lay in bed, so he went to take a shower and get dressed.

Blossom was wide awake. It was 3:00am. But all she could think about was Brick. She had to know if Brick liked her the way she liked him. Today was the day. She got up and took a shower. And then got ready to meet him on the roof and where they usually talked in the morning.

It was 5:00am. Both were ready. Brick sported the red Abercrombie sweat shirt and Abercrombie jeans thatBlossom had given him for Christmas. Blossom wore the 'Aber Girl' tube top and mini skirt that Brick had given her for Christmas. Brick flew up to the roof holding a silver heart locket and ring with an amethest initin his hands. His heart beat faster and faster with every approaching second. He could hear her coming. This was it. Today was the day.

Sorry I haven't written in forever. I've been busy. I went to Kenya and it was great. Sorry if the story has a rushed feeling, but I want to get on to the good part. I promise it will slow down. Besides, it would bore you to death if I told you everything. Sometimes...everything must not be told. Thank you to my dedicated reviews and even the new ones. It makes my day when I read your complements and suggestions.
