Wow I haven't written in like a complete day, "feels dishonor and shame."
Buttercup: You should feel shame…
Why did I let you break the fourth wall again? Yeah, that's the Easter egg everyone, she will do that at random moments but not blatantly.
B: Still not sure why though, I'm not even your fave Puff.
I feel like it. So anyway, onwards with the plot!
Chapter Five: Save the Date
Brick sat under a tree scanning the skies for a sign of pink and so far didn't see anything. He started to wonder whether this was honestly a good idea or not. From what he had seen relationships with people could be equal parts happiness and dislike or anger. He could tell Blossom wasn't going to leap into his arms willingly anytime soon. He was becoming a bit drowsy when he suddenly felt a nudge against his leg that felt like a light kick.
"Get outta here kid you're bothering me," he grunted.
"That's how you treat kids? Then this is going to be hell for me huh?"
Brick looked up in surprise at the smirking redhead heroine.
"Oh shi-," Brick hoped up with a nervous laugh.
"Um sorry, kind of wasn't sure you'd be here eheh."
"Ditto. Well since were both here I guess we should go somewhere right?"
"Oh yeah sure how's coffee sound?"
"Sounds great but um…" she stuttered slightly as she looked behind him.
"Brick why is Mojo's telescope looking directly at us…?"
He grabbed her arm and walked her away quickly muttering curses at his father under his breath.
The two teens sat at a table each sipping trying to think of what to do next. Brick was trying to think of something to discuss with her, while Blossom was still debating whether or not to just leave or give him a chance.
"So how's life," they both said awkwardly to each other. They laughed slightly and Brick gestured for her to go first.
"Well," she sighed, "I've had an advanced trigonometry test, a physics project I'm working on and-"
"How do they teach physics?"
"What?"
"They teach you to see the future and read minds?"
Blossom had a deadpan look on her face and it took all her strength to keep from hitting her head on the table.
"Physics not psychics. You don't get out much do you?"
"Well never really went to school so…"
She sighed and smiled at him slightly.
"So how's the life of a rambunctious teen like you," she asked.
"Eh boring I guess. Eat, sleep, work out, rob an electronics store…shouldn't have said that huh?"
"Not really." She leaned back in the chair and looked at him seriously.
"So why are you doing this anyway? You're one of our archenemies, you're supposed to try and beat and/or kill us so you can further your evil agenda."
"Do I really look like a guy with a plan," he laughed.
"Well you're not known for your brains…"
"Ouch I thought the tomboy was the harsh one?"
"Just being honest."
"Well if you must know…I just wanted to see what things are like in a life when your existence isn't just living for yourself and having fun."
Blossom was slightly taken aback. This really was a different Brick. The brash, impulsive leader had grown over the years indeed but you don't see all the sides to a person when your only interaction with each other is beating the holy hell out of one another.
"So instead of killing me you want to date me?"
"I never said that. I'm still trying to figure out if this is what I want. I'm no hero Blossom, but I guess the bad ways might not be the best. Still I dunno…"
"Well at least this is progress," Blossom thought to herself.
She checked her watch absentmindedly and jumped up when she saw the time.
"Oh my gosh, I'm going to be so late!"
"Don't you have super speed?"
"I promised Professor I would make dinner tonight completely without powers, kind of a dare from Bubbles, so I need to get home now and get started or nothing will be ready."
"Punctuality is your weakness," he laughed. "So, no powers at all today?"
"Damnit yes." She fumbled through her purse, as she sped to the door, shouting for a taxi.
Brick sat for a moment before downing the rest of his coffee and following her. Neither noticed a figure across the café who was watching them with a smirk on their face.
Brick watched the panicked Blossom for a minute then made a decision he decided he'd just regret later. He grabbed her lifting her into his arms and shot off into the sky with her.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Blossom was caught off guard before she realized what was happening.
"Put me down!"
"Hey I'm allowed to use powers, you aren't now where's your house?"
She groaned and pointed in the direction she was headed and they took off leaving only a crimson streak in their wake.
Within seconds an energetic Brick and frazzled Blossom arrived at the Utonium residence. She quickly jumped out his arms giving him a rushed thank you and good bye.
"Anything else I can help with?"
"No just go home or something I'll meet you again in the park if I'm not busy ok?"
"Awesome see you then."
He heard a sure thing before the door slammed and he turned away grinning. He had a successful date with a girl and he didn't get assaulted. He looked up and his expression quickly changed to fear. The whole world went into slow motion as a spiked cleat on the foot of a raven haired girl came at his face with the speed only Buttercup had.
Poor Brick can't go without a fight now can he? Looks like he might get "Buttercrushed." Place your bets folks, and who is this mysterious figure watching the budding romance?
B: I know who it is, but why spoil the surprise, and vote for me!
