SithKnight-Galen: I know you reviewed ch4 but since I didn't notice in time to put you here for chapter five, I'll do so now. Thanks for your review. Yes there's dysfunctional stuff in the chapter and Rayne won the vote. Glad you liked the story so far and hope to get another review from you soon.

Hairy Gregory: I have decided it. Fate is against me. Once again something else happened to keep me from updating on time. Won't go into details. From now on I'll just try and update whenever I can, this weekly thing just isn't working. Anyway about your review, let's just say that due to Robyn's human DNA and Boomer's Superhuman DNA, the decision to have children has resulted in the combination creating new powers in each individual child and whatever. I'm just leaving it at that. Glad you liked the idea of Big Billy sorting out his life and it's true that running a Sweet Shop brings with it a lot of temptation. But I still wonder what you thought of how other ex Gang Green Gang members (especially the one who committed suicide) turned out. Brenda does want to get away from her Father but Rayne actually hates both of them (if you remember in chapter 5 when Henry called Robyn and Brenda stupid, Rayne only defended Brenda). So if Rayne decided to get away, she'd run away from home. Well you didn't vote so I had to do some random picking and stuff and ended with Titch as winner of vote 2 and Mitch as winner of vote three. Hope next time you have time to drop a vote. Here's the chapter. Enjoy and review like always!

Chapter 6

(Two days Later at Mitchelson's Scrap yard Factory at 11 a.m.)

Mitch signed an order and decided to survey his Factory. He had after all decided to cut out college and take over the factory from his Uncle Ronald who was friends with the people who ran the drag racing place where he (Mitch) had sent Buttercup to as a teenager after she had decided to run away from home. But Mitch knew that he would've convinced her to stay if he had known life would've made them end up like this. He an ex-husband and she married and very likely happy with her new life.

I miss you so much Buttercup. If there were anyway to get you back I would take it. But I can't try and break up a legal union under the church of God and recognized by the State. I already destroyed my marriage to Bubbles. I can't destroy your marriage too, that wouldn't be fair or done in true love. If you weren't married you'd be fair game but marriage definitely counts me out of the running. No sense in hoping that you'd be otherwise. Elmer wouldn't lie. Damn it, I need to remember that he's Francis Hate now. (Mitch's thoughts)

Suddenly his cell phone rang and Mitch answered it.

"Hello," Mitch said formally.

"Hello Mitch," Francis Hate responded.

"El… Francis hello," Mitch corrected himself.

"I see that you're learning," Francis commended him, "I don't have the stuff on Bubbles completed yet," he said, "but I have something that might be better," he added.

"What might that be?" Mitch asked with cold sarcasm.

"Buttercup isn't legally married," Francis told Mitch.

"Say what?" Mitch asked softly in disbelief.

"They can't marry because Buttercup's hiding from her family," Francis reminded Mitch, "it's too risky that someone who gave them a real marriage license won't leak out info of her location," he continued, "the people in Citysville who know will keep quite either because of the awesome club she runs or because they know that Buttercup would hunt them down personally if they talked," he stated, "plus Utonium's looking out for any documents that might have her name on it," he pointed out, "if he found a record of a marriage certificate, her location would be out the window and she can't hide herself any better than a place like Citysville," he added.

"So what?" Mitch asked, "they have a 'common-law' marriage?" he asked.

"Yeah," Francis responded, "but there's a hitch," he added.

"What is it?" Mitch asked.

"They've got kids," Francis stated and Mitch broke into a round of expletives, "and you wont believe who the father is," he said ignoring Mitch's cursing.

"Who is it?" Mitch snarled.

"Ace," Francis said simply.

There was a moment of silence thicker than London fog.

"Ace is her husband?" Mitch asked in a hoarse voice, "Gang Green Gang Ace?"

"His gang days are over," Francis told Mitch, "he works at a meat packing plant now," he said, "but guess what?" he asked cunningly.

"What?" Mitch asked with a hint of growing disinterest.

"He has your weakness," Francis said simply.

"What weakness is that?" Mitch snapped obviously offended.

"Women idiot!" Francis spat, "he cheats on Buttercup," he explained.

"Is he an idiot!" Mitch cried, "Buttercup would MURDER him the moment she found out!" he shouted, "why the HELL would he it?"

"Same reason you did," Francis suggested.

"Bubbles would let me SEE tomorrow," Mitch pointed out, "Buttercup wouldn't," he concluded.

"True," Francis agreed, "so what are you going to do?" he asked.

"I'm not sure," Mitch confessed, "I might just leave her alone," he added.

"But you've been hoping to find her for years," Francis said in surprise, "why wont you take advantage?" he asked.

"Because I love her Francis," Mitch responded, "and besides," he continued, "she'd NEVER want me when she found out what I did to her sister anyway," he added.

"So you want me to quit trying to find dirt on Bubbles?" Francis asked almost anxiously, "Mr. Good Samaritan?" he teased.

"I'm not THAT good!" Mitch cried, "I still want my son," he said firmly, "find the dirt!" he ordered and hung up.

(Meanwhile at an Exclusive Spa in Citysville)

"This is comfortable," Butch said sarcastically as a female massaged his back, "how are you doing in there!" he shouted.

"Fine!" Blossom shouted from the tanning machine, "I should be out in five minutes," she added.

"You going to the Gala tonight?" Butch asked ten minutes later after Blossom got out of the tanning machine and waited quietly for Butch's massage to be completed.

"Yes Princess did invite me," Blossom responded.

"How come?" Butch asked.

"I've assisted her father with some experiments at the labs he own," Blossom told him, "he's not so covert with his labs like he used to back when you guys nearly fought Mike," she explained, "but business is still Mr. Morebucks TOP priority," she added.

"I'm not…." Butch started to say.

"Nonsense Princess deserves to see you happy and you deserve to come to the Gala with me," Blossom said pointedly, "she's free to bring her husband," she continued, "and I'm free to bring my date," she said with a firm nod.

"I guess so," Butch agreed but his voice betrayed his lack of confidence.

Blossom smiled to herself sadly and decided to not push the issue and wait and see what would happen at the Gala.

(12pm at a Top rated Pent House)

(Titch's POV)

I continued to listen to my teacher quietly. Mother told me that I had to be home schooled now but I hated it. I only had a stuffy teacher for company now at class time. I didn't care how many cool toys I got, they couldn't replace all my friends that I left behind at Cityville Primary and the fact that I no longer got to hang out with kids my own age unless I was taken to the park.

"Are you listening Titch?" Miss Rebecca Strict asked me firmly.

"Yes Miss Strict," I responded.

"If you were you'd just have heard that I said that I have to leave early today," Miss Strict told me sternly and I grinned uncomfortably, "you're so unrefined," she said and I raised a confused eyebrow, "low class," she explained and I pouted, "maybe you'll improve since you hate it so much," she added coldly.

"I'm not low class," I muttered and heard my teacher snort at that.

"Goodbye Titch," Miss Strict said and I noticed how she always scornfully said my name when no one was around, "obey the nanny," she added firmly and left me alone in the living room, which was used for my classes.

I got up and quietly put away my things. Miss Strict only assisted me with them if an adult was in our presence. I proceeded to the kitchen where I saw my nanny smoking.

"Brick said I could do it as long as you didn't see me," my nanny said quickly and outed it, "don't go telling your mother and getting me in trouble," she warned and ran out of the kitchen.

I watched her sunny blonde hair float behind her as she disappeared around a corner. I sighed and went to the fridge. I had to float up to the handle because I was too short to reach it. I opened the fridge with ease and looked inside. I saw lots of food. There was Vegetarian, Deserts, Non-Veg and just plenty of food. I reached for a soda, an apple and a frozen chicken dinner. I closed the door with my feet and headed to the table. I rested the apple and soda on the table and floated to the microwave to warm up the frozen dinner. Just as it finished warming up I heard foot tapping close to me. I turned to see my nanny staring at me as she tapped her foot nervously on the white tiled floor.

"You'll keep my smoking a secret right?" my nanny asked and I noticed that she had lit another cigarette, "right?" she asked loudly causing me to jump.

I nodded fearfully and gulped.

"I wont tell," I said in a small voice, "I promise," I added.

"Good," my nanny said, "can Nanny Kimberly get the apple?" she asked me in one of those dumb voices adults use to talk to babies.

"Yes you may Nanny Kimberly," I responded nicely while I felt angry and stupid.

"Thanks," Kimberly said but she not only snatched my apple but my soda as well, "you can get another one from the fridge," she added dismissively and went to eat in the living room.

I mumbled to myself as I went for another soda and took out a peach instead of an apple this time. Mama had told me that Kimberly was allergic.

Chapter 6 Done.
