RUFF AND PUFF MEET! O:

Buttercups POV

Why is every girl so obsessed about them? I don't get it. What's so special about them that makes girls go gaga? Why only now? Ugh. I'm not getting anywhere with these questions.

"Buttercup? You alright?" Bubbles asked.

I didn't realize that I spaced out and that my spoon was hanging by my mouth. "Huh? Oh, yeah."

"You sure? You've been spacing out a lot recently." Blossom said.

Great. Don't tell me I'm being one of them too. "It's nothing, really."

"Well, alright."

After eating breakfast, we got up and flew to school. I admitted that I was thinking about them. Not cause I'm interested, but, like my sisters, out of curiosity.

We arrived at school, and I expected we'd get attacked by a bunch of girls again, asking about the guys. Instead, when we arrived, the girls were paying attention to something else. A wide crowd of girls were hovering over one another. Trying to look at the center of attention.

"What's going on?" Blossom asked. A girl turned around and her eyes beamed with happiness.

"Hey! It's the girls!" she shouted.

Shit. Now half of the crowd went to us.

"Have you seen them?"

"I told you they'd come!"

"Oh my gosh they are so hot!"

Girls randomly telling us stuff like this. My sisters and I were nearly squished to the doors, so I decided to push through the crowd. They did the same. When we made it through the other end of the crowd we sighed in relief.

"What were they talking about?" Bubbles asked

"Hell would I know!" We turned around and saw the girls coming towards us. We started backing away. Trying to push them slowly away. And you know what? we were walking backwards. BACKWARDS! We kept prying them to stop, but they didn't. Until we hit someone. Back to back. They must be the guys everyone's talking about.

But then suddenly the noise stopped. They all gasped and went all bug-eyed.

"Oh, we're sorry if we bumped into..." Bubbles began. We turned around at the same time and saw them. In front of us.

I glared at Butch. But his reaction wasn't exactly what I was expecting for. He didn't glare like I thought he would. He just stared. Right into my eyes. I looked at my sisters who nodded at me. Signaling us to leave. I gave one last frown at Butch and brushed past him. My sisters did the same.

The halls were quiet. When my sisters and I were out of their range, we talked.

"What.. Why.. Why are they here?" Bubbles asked.

"Who knows. Probably out to start trouble again."

"Let's just let them be." Blossom said.

"What? Why?"

"Well, they aren't doing anything. Yet."

"Whatever."

"Come on, let's get to our first class." Bubbles said. Blossom and I nodded and we walked to our first class. We arrived just in time when the bell rang. We went to our seats and got our books out.

The teacher came in and announced that we would be having a new student today. I expected for the worse. And the worse expected me. He came in an introduced himself. Girls were going all googly eyed over him. The teacher pointed to a seat beside me and told him that he would be sitting there. He looked for the seat and his eyes landed on me.

He nodded and walked over, ignoring the swoons of the many girls he passed by. It's like he didn't even knew they existed. He sat down and kept staring at me. I gave a frown and looked away. I looked over to my left and saw my sisters giving me a worried look. I shook my head, telling them that I could handle this.

Today, is gonna be a long day.

Butch's POV

"Dude, they aren't talking to us." Boomer said.

"No shit, Sherlock." I said.

He rolled his eyes. "Shut up."

"Anyway, what's with if they talk to us or not?" Brick asked.

"Nothing. I just thought they'd be like, 'what are you doing here? why the hell did come back?' stay away' or something like that."

"I'm surprised too, but I think we should just butt out."

"Yeah, I mean, it's not like you want them to talk to us." I said.

"Yeah.."

Me and my brothers were outside. It was lunch time, and we decided to just stay by the tree, get some shade. It's been so long, I almost didn't recognize Buttercup. And, well, I expected she'd glare or frown. But, hey, it's in her nature.

"Hey, look." Boomer nudged me and Brick in the stomach.

"What?" I said.

"Look who's here." he pointed to a nearby table. It was them. The girls.

"I don't think they see us."

"Good. Let's just keep it that way."

"Hey, I'm getting a bit hungry. I'm gonna go back inside to get something to eat." Brick said.

"I'll come too." Boomer said.

"I'll stay here."

They got up and headed towards the door. They hid at first though, since Blossom and Bubbles were still there. But then Blossom went back inside cause someone asked her for something and Bubbles went inside to get some food. Buttercup walked to the fence, making the coast clear. So Brick and Boomer went inside.

When I looked over to where Buttercup was, she was gone. I guess she went back inside.

"I knew you guys were here all along, you know." My head jolted up to find a pair of light green eyes looking down. Buttercup was on the other side of the tree, her head peeking.

"Oh."

"So did Blossom and Bubbles."

"Oh.."

"And they saw Brick and Boomer hiding."

"Oh..."

I saw her slid down, in a sitting position. She leaned against the tree and sighed. I leaned against the tree too. Looking at the opposite direction.

"Why'd you guys come back?" She asked.

I chuckled. "Are you really Buttercup?"

"What?"

"The Buttercup I know isn't this calm. She usually gets all angry and you can clearly hear it in her voice. And she'd start hitting you- Ow."

I felt a punch in my arm. I looked back and saw Buttercup, still leaning against the tree.

"Now am I like the old me?"

"Uh.. yeah.. how did you.."

"Get so fast?"

"Yeah.."

"I got faster over the years I guess. Now answer my question."

"Wait, what happened to you?"

"Huh?"

"Why aren't you all angry and stuff?"

"Anger management class. Plus, not having trouble for 5 years gets you thinking. Now would you answer my question?"

"Okay, okay. We received scholarships."

"You? In what department?"

"Sports." She scoffed.

"Figures. You play soccer?"

"Hell yeah."

"Wanna have a match?"

"Cool. When?"

"Friday, after school. The field."

"Awesome."

"Yeah."

"So you aren't against us?"

"No. Why?"

"Well, we did try to destroy back then."

"Yeah.. those were the days.."

"I'm really surprised."

"C'mon. You still can't get over how I have the balls to come over and talk to you?"

"Well. No."

"Then get over it."

We sat there. Just staying silent. She sure has changed. She's not like before. Not the same old kill-now-question-later. She actually invited me to play soccer with her. What's with that? I bet she's still the same hot head though.

The bell rang. Time to get back to class. I stood up and found that Buttercup was already standing in front of me.

"Well, bye." She said.

"Bye." She walked towards the doors and I followed her. She opened it and looked back at me.

"Hey."

"Yeah?"

"Don't think this means that I trust you." She stuck her tongue out and went inside.

Yep, still the same old Buttercup.
