The Consequences
Reggae: Sorry about the LONG delay. There was no longer any Internet at my home. Hope you enjoy the second chapter.
Chapter Two
"Why are you here Blossom?" Butch asked seriously and his voice was filled with suspicion, "we never had contact all those years ago when I was engaged to Princess or even earlier than that after everyone thought that I had disappeared or died when I went to save Mojo Jojo," he pointed out, "what do you want?"
"To see an old enemy and hopefully make a new friend," Blossom told him, "you and I aren't too different," she pointed out, "both of us have lost someone we loved to someone else."
"You and Boomer didn't get married?" Butch asked her in surprise, "from what Brick told me the only real disagreement you guys had was his relationship with...." he continued but stopped, "she didn't take Boomer away, did she?" he asked.
"No," Blossom responded, "Buttercup didn't take Boomer away from me," she said sadly, "and I'd frankly not like to talk about it," she confessed, "knowing that someone who you trusted only wanted to take away your boyfriend even before you broke up is heart breaking."
"Life's a Bitch," Butch stated, "so what are you doing in these parts?" he asked.
"I'm on vacation from my usual job as a chemist," Blossom told him, "I hear that you're in a band," she said as a gin tugged at her lips.
"You're not here to make fun of me because I'm powerless now," Butch said almost warningly.
"I wouldn't do that," Blossom said with a laugh, "and you seem quite alright without them," she observed, "do you ever miss flying?" she asked suddenly.
"More than you'll realize," Butch said almost reflectively, "I miss it more than I missed my sight when I was blind," he said softly, "seeing birds fly through the air and know that I could once do that makes me sad sometimes," he whispered, "at least I got used to living without seeing," he admitted, "now I'm having an even harder time learning to live as a normal young man."
"You'll never be normal," Blossom said brightly, "you'll always be bad boy Butch to me."
"I thought good girls never took the bad guy home," Butch stated getting straight to the point, "if you want me to come to Townsville with you," he said, "all you had to do was ask," he added with a laugh and a smile.
"But what about the band?" Blossom asked with limited concern.
"There's a back up guitarist," Butch said dismissively, "they don't need me."
"And I do?" Blossom asked him almost warily.
"We both need someone," Butch said, "the ditzy girls around here don't do it for me," he told her, "I want someone who is intelligent as well as having a pretty face," he said frankly.
"The men in Townsville are nice," Blossom said kindly, "but they're just not for me," she said frankly, "the only one for me I threw him away over foolishness and that conniving bitch took advantage of my stupidity," she hissed, "she kept acting so innocent when I tried to get him back 6 months after I dumped him without me knowing that she had already got him to go out with her to 'friendly' events," she said angrily, "and then I find out much later that they're dating and he even confessed to me two years after I dumped that he didn't get back with me partially because he was unsure of his developing feelings for her and didn't want to betray me," she continued, "they're married now," she added icily.
"MARRIED!" Butch cried, "thank God Brick kept me clued in on certain things or I would never have guessed that it was her," he said, "she's an awful person."
"Worse yet she's an awful friend," Blossom said, "I can be awful," she admitted, "but she's rotten to the core."
"I can't place any blame on Princess's new squeeze," Butch said honestly, "I hate him but I drove Princess away through deception and that's my cross to carry," he stated, "I wish that she's happy beyond measure," he said softly, "even if it's not with me," he added solemnly.
"I have an idea," Blossom spoke up, "how about we just go," she suggested.
"Go where?" Butch asked in confusion.
"Anywhere!" Blossom cried in excitement, "the sky isn't even the limit!" she shouted brightly.
"Your enthusiasm is infectious," Butch said with a smile, "lead the way," he said and followed Blossom out the bar.
(Meanwhile at a Top rated expensive hotel)
"Does he have any idea?" Bubbles whispered as Brick hung up the phone, "does he know that I'm here with...?" she asked anxiously.
"No," Brick responded simply, "I can't believe that you were married to that jerk!" he cried suddenly.
"Well you had that affair with Blossom and there was no way I could trust you again since you did it while we were engaged!" Bubbles exploded, "Mitch might've wanted to replace Buttercup through me," she said, "but he didn't betray me before we even reached the altar!" she shrieked angrily at Brick.
"Of course not," Brick said coldly, "he waited until after you two went to the altar to do that," he said with a grin.
"You're such a jerk!" Bubbles cried angrily and flung a pillow silk French pillow at him that he simply moved his head sideways to avoid, "I don't know why I still love you," she said with a sigh and fell back on the Victorian Styled Silk Bed which she was relaxing in.
"Because we were meant to be Bubbles," Brick told her simply and headed towards the bed, "I'm sorry about Blossom," he said as he removed his jacket and tie and just let them fall heedlessly to the floor, "I've told you that," he said as he ran his fingers through her hair, "I've told you that a million times," he whispered huskily into her ear then proceeded to kiss her neck tenderly.
"Why can't I believe you," Blossom whispered in response but didn't resist his kisses, "why can't I trust you like I used to?"
"Because you're hurt," Brick told her, "by both me and that Mitch character," he said, "you've been divorced from him or only one month now," he reminded her, "and you've told me how horrible those four years of marriage was," he whispered between kissing her shoulders and along her arms.
"Not as horrible as when I found you making love to Blossom," Bubbles said softly, "nothing's hurt me more than that," she said in a cracked voice.
"I'm never going to hurt you again," Brick said and sat on top of her on the bed and started to kiss her passionately on the lips and she responded just as passionately.
"Mama?" a voice asked suddenly from outside the door, "Mama?" the voice asked again and knocked.
"You're mother's busy!" Brick cried angrily, "go play with a fire poker or something," he snapped angry that he was interrupted by Mitch's kid.
"Don't say that," Bubbles hissed at him with a whisper, "you'll upset him," she told Brick who rolled his eyes and got off her, "come in baby," she said kindly to her child.
A little boy with brown hair and blue eyes opened the door and floated into the room. Even though physically he looked mostly like his father, he was as playful if not more like his mother. He looked at Brick but quickly looked away when he noticed the angry glare Brick was giving him as Brick readjusted his tie and straightened his jacket.
"I'm lonely Mama," the little boy said and sat in his mother's lap, "when will I see daddy again?" he asked suddenly and Bubbles grew pale.
"When Pigs do Accounts," Brick muttered as he now looked forward and not at Bubbles holding Mitch's and her child.
"I might be three but I know what that means!" the little boy cried angrily, "you're mean!" he declared.
"Not as mean as your father," Brick countered without looking at him.
"Titch!" Bubbles cried as her son threw his shoe at Brick hitting Brick in the head, "please don't get mad Brick," she begged.
"Your son's just like his father," Brick hissed as he rubbed his head, "rotten to the core," he said and gave Titch a dirty look.
"Not as rotten as your brother's wife," Bubbles muttered loudly.
"What are you talking about!" Brick demanded, "would you rather he marry Blossom?" he asked incredulously.
"I almost rather he never married with his choice in girlfriends and now his life time partner," Bubbles snapped, "neither of them deserve a man like Boomer," she pointed out.
"Well his wife is better deserving than Blossom," Brick stated, "and I'm certain that you can't argue with that," he said confidently.
Bubbles didn't respond. But she knew secretly if she did, she'd argue in Blossom's defense.
