Here's chapter 2! And I just want to say THANKS SO MUCH FOR OVER 1,000 VIEWS! This means a lot to me!
Three hours later, Buttercup was the first out of the school doors, excited to finally be out of there and never have to go back for three whole months. As she waited, she thought about how much fun they were going to have, especially for the next three days. For two months, Buttercup had been looking forward to the camping trip that they had planned for the first three days of summer. The six were going to have so much fun eating smores and telling stories around a campfire.
When the others finally made it outside, Buttercup smiled and prepared to fly home and get everything ready for the trip. "Great, you guys ready for an awesome camping trip?!" She asked excitedly before she flew away faster than ever. The others exchanged amused glances and followed her. They flew very slowly to see how long it would take her to become annoyed. When she realized no one else was at the house helping her pack, she flew above the house and spotted the others a few blocks away, flying as slow as they could.
"COME ON YOU GUYS! PICK UP THE PACE!" She shouted, they all laughed at Buttercup's impatience and sped up. When they landed, Blossom went inside and grabbed a clipboard with a list of things they needed for the trip. Buttercup took the clipboard and checked everything on the list. "Okay we have everything, now lets go!" she said excitedly. Butch walked over to her and hugged her to calm her down a little bit. Once Blossom went through the check list again, everyone began loading the car with their supplies. Since they couldn't carry everything into the forest themselves, the Professor let them use the car for the trip. But, since none of them had a driver's license, the car was used to carry the supplies all at once, instead of each of them carrying piles of bags and possibly dropping things on the way to the forest. When everything was packed, they said their goodbyes to the Professor and carried the car into the forest.
"That looks like a good spot to set up" Bubbles said pointing to a clearing in the forest, which was close to the river they would visit tomorrow. They set the car down carefully and unloaded the tents and blankets.
"We're gonna go find some fire wood okay?" Brick asked.
"Okay" the girls answered at the same time. As the Boys disappeared into the forest, Buttercup began to clear a space for the fire. While she worked, she thought about Butch. It was amazing, to her, how fast he went from bad to good. It made her happy to know that someone could change so fast for someone they loved. She loved Butch; he was smart, cute, funny, evil, and fun. "Wait what?!" Buttercup thought to herself. "What am I thinking, Butch isn't evil, he's good now!" She assured herself. "How can you be so positive that he wouldn't turn on you?" the thought rang in her headover and over again. "There's no way Butch would turn on me! He loves me!" she thought angrily and pushed the thought from her head.
"Buttercup, is everything okay?" Bubbles asked "You look like something is bothering you"
"I'm just arguing with myself" Buttercup smiled at her sister in hopes she would let it go.
"About what?" Bubbles asked full of concern.
Buttercup wondered if she should tell Bubbles and Blossom about what she was thinking of, but decided against it. "It's nothing important" she finally answered.
Bubbles was going to beg Buttercup to answer her, but the Boys returned, so she decided to ask her about it later. Each of the boys returned with arms full of fire wood of different shapes and sizes.
Later that night, after everything was unpacked and they got the fire going, the Girls sat in the dirt with the Boys. They laughed as they told funny stories, and Boomer held Bubbles protectively when they told scary stories. Once the stories were over, Buttercup yawned.
"I think it's time to get some sleep" she suggested. The others nodded their heads in agreement as they too yawned. The Girls and Boys went into their separate tents after putting out the fire.
Butch lay on his blanket wide awake. He couldn't sleep no matter how hard he tried. He thought about many things like, what he was going to do over the rest of summer after this trip. He couldn't think of much he could do other than hang out with Buttercup. Buttercup. She was the reason he quit being evil. If it weren't for her, all he would do for the summer is cause more and more trouble. He liked being good, it was a lot simpler than being evil, and definitely caused him less pain. He was glad that he finally had Buttercup's love and trust. "Who said she completely trusts you?" a strange thought entered Butch's mind. "That was weird" he thought to himself "of course she trusts me!" Butch closed his eyes and willed the strange thoughts away. "Are you sure? It makes sense that Buttercup wouldn't trust you, you were her worst enemy for ten years." Butch sighed, this random thought in his mind was right, but he expected Buttercup to trust him by now. It had been nine months since Butch had given up crime, and he had never shown any sign that may have lead her believe he was still bad. Butch sighed and thought about this until he finally fell asleep.
In the morning, the six got ready for the fun day they had planned. They made their way to the river with six water guns, an inflatable boat, bottled water, and some snacks. Once they made it to the river, they all jumped in except Bubbles.
"Come on Bubbles, the water isn't gonna hurt you" Buttercup said getting out and standing next to her.
"I know…I just… it looks really col-"Buttercup pushed Bubbles into the water before she could finish her sentence. Bubbles glared at her sister and stood grabbing Buttercup's hand and pulling her back into the river. They all erupted in laughter and grabbed the water guns. The fight began with the water guns, then escaladed to chicken fights. Bubbles and Buttercup were the first to fight, Bubbles was on Boomer's shoulders and Buttercup on Butch's.
"You're going down Bubbles!" She said with determination. Bubbles smirked, she was very good at this game, and Buttercup had no idea what she was in for. The fight began, and Buttercup grabbed Bubble's hands and attempted to push her off Boomer's shoulders. Bubbles merely smiled, and twisted Buttercup's arms around, causing her to flip off of Butch's shoulders. She glanced at Bubbles, who was smiling victoriously as Boomer high-fived her.
"This isn't over Bubbles, I'll be back!" She said as Butch helped her up. The fights continued, each of them taking turns, and each time Buttercup went against Bubbles, she lost.
After a couple hours of numerous water games, they finally rested on the bank of the river. They drank water, ate some snacks, and rested for a while. Buttercup glanced at the boat they had brought.
"Hey guys, I know what we're doing next!" She said smiling. They all looked at what she was staring at and nodded in agreement.
The Boys pulled the boat into the river and called to the girls.
"You girls coming or what?!" Brick asked. The Girls giggled and rushed over to the boat, they all jumped in except for Brick, who pushed the boat into the current of the river and hopped in next to Blossom. Every time the boat jerked to one side, Butch over exaggerated a lean to the side, earning him a playful punch from Buttercup. Boomer glanced at Bubbles with a smile, but she wasn't paying attention.
"Um, Bubbles are you okay?" He asked. She pointed a trembling finger straight ahead and Boomer followed her gaze. His eyes widened, "Uh, guys… look!" He said to the others. Their smiles immediately turned to frowns when they spotted the waterfall that held Bubbles' attention. Buttercup looked around for something to grab on to, but there was nothing.
"We need to get out of here!" Blossom said ready to fly out of the boat. The Boys were the first out, Blossom and Buttercup began to follow until they realized Bubbles was still in the boat.
"Wait! Bubbles!" Blossom looked back at the boat to Bubbles, who was stuck in a daze from fear. They landed onto the boat again and tried to get her to follow them.
"Come on Bubbles we gotta go, now!" Buttercup shouted to her sister. She wouldn't move, no matter how much her sisters yelled.
"Just grab her!" Blossom said to Buttercup, they reached for Bubbles but the boat was already at the top of the waterfall. The boat shifted violently as it hit the rocks that sat at the tip. Blossom and Buttercup lost their balance and hit the floor of the boat. As the boat began to fall, the Girls hit their heads against the rocks, causing them to pass out. They fell down the long waterfall, motionless.
The Boys landed back at the clearing where they had set up camp, breathing heavily.
"That was a close one" Butch said.
"Yeah, a few more seconds and we'd be dead!" Brick added.
"Hey where did the girls go?" Boomer asked looking around.
"I thought they were right behind us!" Butch said with fear in his voice.
"Oh no!" All three said as they flew back to the edge of the waterfall. They looked all around for the Girls.
"Blossom, this isn't funny!" Brick shouted angrily. Boomer and Butch looked down the waterfall from the top hoping the Girls hadn't gone down it. Brick joined them after he searched the area.
"That's a long fall" Boomer said "I hope they didn't go down."
