Update on my life: Started French. I love it, holy crap
My coloring of mefirstweiner 's / frannydoesthedraw 's (find her on tumblr! She's great) lineart got her stamp of approval, im rly happy omg
Also, I'm sorry this took so long, after I got my computer fixed, it spontaneously decided to not notice my home wifi like a scrub for 2 weeks. (My phone and the other 3 laptops that my family owns work alright, so it's my laptop being a damn scrublord) It notices the school internet all right. (Can't upload there though, as ff net is banned)

He didn't exactly know why he said that. He felt stupid. He knew that he didn't have a chance. Now the chance was even smaller. If it is even possible in the first place.
He could kiss his friendship with Kaoru goodbye. He made her seem like a cold-hearted bitch. Or just a plain slut. That's how he felt, at least.
It doesn't matter now. He has to forget about it. It was just a weird crush, not actual love. He'll be fine. At least that's what he's going to tell himself until it becomes true.
The first thing he did after coming back home, was deleting all of those dumb poems. Now that he looks at them, they are pretty… hm. Creepy? Disgusting? Something along those lines. As he laid in bed, he felt sudden hunger. Or maybe it wasn't so sudden, and he just ignored the feeling? He tried to ignore his rumbling stomach, but it was hard. He decided to just order himself a pizza. He doesn't want to face his monkey dad's awful cooking today.
Well, he wasn't terrible AT cooking. It's just that their diet consists of mostly bananas, mixed with other fruit. Sometimes vegetables. Mojo aimed to be a good father after he lost the powers of the black light. Losing the powers of the black light didn't change him back to being a monkey, surprisingly. Losing it actually made things for the better.
Mojo wasn't under the control of HIM anymore, which took away all of the need to be a villain, both in Mojo and The Rowdyruff Boys. Mojo started to work, explaining his appearance with a medical condition. The more he worked, the more he wanted to gain knowledge. He became a father Brick, Butch and Boomer look up to and respect, although the fact that he ends every spoken sentence with a "Mojo", make talking to him a bit annoying if people aren't patient.
The only thing Butch didn't like (possibly his brothers too) was that Mojo… well… He's a monkey. Not that he could do anything about it.
Brick, Butch and Boomer lost their superpowers too. It was unpleasant, but it was probably for the better. Butch wondered for a second if The PowerPuff Girls lost their powers too. He shook his head. They promised themselves that their villainous behavior towards The PowerPuff Girls will be forgotten. But now that he thinks about it… Bullying them was a way to vent their childish crushes. Butch wondered if his childish crush on the green tomboy Powerpuff influenced him. Kaoru resembles her a lot, after all. They even had the same haircuts. Green theme. But then again, it might be because Kaoru is a Powered Buttercup fan. He doesn't blame her. She certainly had the coolest weapon out of the Puffs. Not that the other Puff's weapons weren't cool in their own way. Butch remembers that he wished for a RowdyRuff Boys' own cool unique weapons. Swirly straw? Cotton swab? A sock? Those were lame. The PowerPuff Girls' at least were designed as weapons.
The doorbell rang.
Butch exited his room to get the pizza. He met Boomer on the way.
"Have you stopped emo-ing?" Boomer asked with a stupid grin on his face.
"I wasn't emo-ing." Butch said as he rolled his eyes. He opened the door and paid for his pizza. Butch sat down on the couch and opened the pizza box. Boomer snatched a piece, ignoring Butch's glares.
"Yeah you were. I heard from Miya what happened on the court. That was a total asshole move when you're not actually a couple. You embarrassed her in front of her entire team. What the hell were you thinking?" Boomer took a serious tone. He was almost growling. This surprised Butch. He took a slice of the pizza.
"Why do you even care about that?" Butch said before taking a bite.
"I must protect my lovely girlfriend's close friends." Boomer explained, as if it were obvious.
"Why..?" Butch raised an eyebrow.
"If you have no approval from a girl's close friends, you're going to be tormented by them until you break up." Boomer explained further.
"Doesn't make sense to me." Butch murmured with his mouthful of pizza. Boomer sighed.
"You have to properly apologize." He said. He was calm this time.
"She probably doesn't want to see me." Butch said.
"Yep. There it is. Emo state." Boomer rolled his eyes. Butch shrugged and took his pizza to his room, but not before Boomer stole another slice.

"Are you mad at him?" Momoko asked Kaoru.
"Actually… Surprisingly… No. I'm not. It was pretty funny, to be honest." Kaoru said. She wishes she was mad about it. But she's not. Why? Maybe because she was finally treated as a woman? In an asshole-ish way, but still. She wasn't sure. They heard Miyako's phone ring. She picked it up. Momoko and Kaoru paid no mind to it. Himeko entered the lab with her cat. She wore a pale pink T-shirt with various ship names for Momoko and Brick. Her cat wore a similar one. She also wore a headband, saying "Momoko x Brick".
"Himeko?" Momoko asked, a bit startled.
"I'm your number 1 shipper!" Himeko grinned, as if laughing at her own joke.
"Himeko, this is embarrassing." Momoko hid her head in her palms.
"That's the point!" Himeko's grin widened. She looked at her obviously displeased cat, Sapphire. She set it down. It curled up in a ball and decided to sleep. "It's time for my fangirl dance!" Himeko exclaimed. She was obviously having fun with this. She began to dance in a really weird way, shouting ship names.
"Kaoru, Boomer confirms that Butch has a crush on you, not the volleyball captain." Miyako held her phone to her chest while speaking to mute its microphone. She got back to talking with her boyfriend. Momoko gave Kaoru a silly grin.
"1000% LOVE!" Himeko continued to shout. She slipped in her dance and stepped on her poor cat's tail. It meowed loudly in pain. Himeko was suddenly surrounded by light. She changed into her villain form, Princess.
"What… The fuck…" Kaoru whispered.

Ken was checking for any traces of black light for the past 2 hours. He couldn't believe it, but she didn't have any black light left. It was something that mimicked black light due to its absence. It simultaneously mimicked also the white light. He wasn't sure what it was. Himeko changed back midway through and she remembered everything that happened during her change, which was out of the ordinary. Usually, she'd have no memory of her other form and what it did.
"Congratulations, you have the power to become a superhero." Ken announced.
"It took you three hours to figure it out, kid?" Himeko rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"One, it was two hours. Two, I'm a genius. Three, I'm twelve. That already counts as "Teenager"." Ken was annoyed, but he said it with a calm tone.
"No, it doesn't." Himeko huffed. Ken rolled his eyes. He knew there was no use to argue with her. It was like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how well you play, it'll knock over all of the figures, poop on the chessboard, and still will be incredibly proud of its "victory". Ken scoffed. He explained Himeko's condition in further detail.
"… So, she's a PowerPuff Girl." Kaoru said hesitantly.
"No. She just has previously villainous superpowers. She's an ex-villain." Ken said.
"Wait, I was a villain?" Himeko raised her open palm in a "hold on" motion.
"Yes, your alter-ego was called Princess."
"That seems like 13 year old me. Why was I a villain, though? Obviously being a superhero is way better."
"The thing that gave you superpowers was essentially the essence of evil." Momoko chimed in.
"But I'm not evil anymore, right? Can I become a PowerPuff Girl, then?"
"Well, we were on a hiatus, but why not." Momoko shrugged.
"I want my alter-ego to be called Shining Star." Himeko crossed her arms.
"You can shine all you want, but your alter-ego has to have its second part of the name that starts with a B."
"Hm… I'll be Queen Bee, then." Himeko crossed her arms. "And make it so I'll have the same dress as the rest. And fix my hair. I don't like that red afro. It doesn't suit the image of a serious superhero. And…-"
Himeko spent her (and Ken's) evening spewing out demands.

Brick was extremely annoyed. He just lost somebody who was convenient to have sex with. It wasn't easy to find a second one. He sighed. Maybe that Momoko girl was good enough. Plus, he never had such a proper, yet outgoing girl. Maybe she was an absolute beast in bed? Or an adorable virgin that lets him do whatever he wishes due to the lack of experience? He didn't have any problems with finding that out. He texted Himeko for Momoko's number.
Himeko: oooh. changed ur mind i see? ;p
Brick: it doesnt hurt to try. besides, im already goin blue balls cuz of u -_-
Himeko: im not sorry lol
Brick: im starting to like it that we broke up.
Himeko: alright sheesh. Here it is *****. just remember to not start with "ay gurl, u wan fuchk" pls
Brick: not my fault that projareds jokes are amazing
Himeko: nerd
Brick: but a sexy one
Himeko: no
Brick: :(
Himeko didn't answer further. He briefly thought about what to text Momoko. He ultimately sent:
4:33 pm
Brick: hey, its brick. himeko gave me ur number. she said that u r willing to keep my fangirls at bay
4: 57 pm
Momo: Yeah, I can keep them away. But please, use proper punctuation. It sort of hurts my eyes.
Brick: But texting like this doesn't suit my cool, non-caring attitude though.
Momo: It's not cool at all.
Brick: maybe u r just intimidated by it cuz u cant do it urself as ur very stiff and proper
Momo: i can type like this but its rly annoying to look at
Brick: oh look u can have some fun from time to time
Momo: Can you not?
Brick: its ' 'can u not' '
Momo: … Did you seriously just make quotation marks out of the apostrophe?
Brick: ye
Momo: Why are you torturing me like this?
Brick: no
Brick: how many times do i have to tell you
Brick: just chill out man and say
Brick: y u do dis
Momo: I'm not going to talk to you if you keep doing this.
Brick: im not afraid
5: 40 pm
Brick: ey momoko
6: 33 pm
Brick: ?
7: 28 pm
Brick: two can play at this game
They ended up not talking for the entire next week.

Boomer smiled to himself as he approached the lab. The concept of his brother fussing over a girl just seemed funny to him. He wanted to help him with this, but it was hard without telling him the truth. He smiled at Miyako as he entered the common room, before plopping down on the couch. Everyone gathered around him. He told everything from Butch's point of view. Kaoru seemed annoyed that Butch took her for a lesbian. He didn't even think about other sexualities. She could've been bi- or pansexual all the same. He's such a thickhead. She shook her head. She looked at her wristwatch. Kaoru uttered a curse before grabbing her sports bag and running off.
Boomer gently grabbed Miyako's hand.
"Let's go on our date now." He smiled sweetly at her.
As they walked outside, Miyako asked: "What did you plan for today?"
"I planned to go to the amusement park. We've never been there together, have we?"
"No, I don't think so." Boomer smiled.
They spent the day playing the park's games. Boomer won a keychain for Miyako that was shaped like Rolling Bubbles. She was embarrassed that even after their hiatus, people sold souvenirs resembling them. Miyako also tried the game herself. She won the same keychain. She gave it to Boomer. After that, they went to buy blue cotton candy before continuing with the games. Boomer tried several more, but won only once. He won a white rabbit in a blue dress with a blue ribbon on her ear. It was rather small, but Miyako loved it. The last thing they did was going on the Ferris wheel. The sun was already setting down, and when the wheel was at the top, Miyako and Boomer shared a kiss.
Miyako felt the warmth in her nether regions again, just as the kiss began to heat up. She pulled away from him in slight fear. That felt like moving too quickly. She moved a bit to the side. Boomer sighed, but didn't say anything.

It's shorter than I wanted it to be. By a lot. Unfortunately, I have a block when it comes to this story. I have a ton of ideas, but none suitable to this story, so I'll be launching a series of ButchxKaoru/Buttercup oneshots, mostly AU, which will be updated whenever I get an idea. I'm just wondering if it were better to launch them at the Demashitaa category or the original PowerPuff Girls one.
