"I wanna be blown away, I wanna be swept off my feet."
Bubbles quietly sang as she sat on the grass in the park. She brought with her a sketchpad and a pencil. Today, she decided she would have a change of scenery. She thought that the fresh air, cool wind and soft grass would help her clear her mind.
BUBBLES POV
"There, all done. For now."
I placed sketchpad and pencil aside and took in the scenery. I'm sitting in the far side of the park, usually no one comes here cause there isn't really much. No benches, no playgrounds, nothing. Just the beauty of nature. Being alone right now, gives me plenty of time to think.
Blossom's still keeping her guard up, but she's slowly letting Brick pass her wall. Buttercup and Butch, well.. they're a little confusing. They have this bet thing, which I think is so stupid. As for me, I don't really know what to do with Boomer.
You see, people may think of me as "fragile, innocent baby Bubbles", but I am so not. I know what's happening with the world around me. I know about teenage scandals and other stuff like that. Once in a while, when I'm really mad, you could hear me cuss. My sisters are used to it since like every teenager does that now a days, but I still mind my manners around the Professor.
I guess I'll just keep an eye out for him, not letting in so close and not staying away too far. I silently closed my eyes and breathed in the fresh air, enjoying the nature around me. Until-
"I see you like being out here alone." Speak of the devil.
"Yeah." I say, letting my eyes remain shut.
"Mind if I sit next to you?"
"No, go ahead." I could feel the rustling of grass as he sat down by my side. I begin to slowly open my eyes and turning my head towards Boomer. He's looking at me, in a weird way. "What?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing."
"Boomer?"
"Hm?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Why'd you guys move away?"
Silence for a few minutes. At first, I'm thinking that he didn't hear me or that he simply just wants to ignore it. I'm about to ask again when he says, "I have no idea actually. To tell you the truth, I think Brick made us move to start a new reputation, remember when we made a truce?"
"Back when we were ten?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah, I remember."
"Well, even if we did make peace, what were we gonna do? Go around strolling the town with people have scared looks on their faces? No. Even though Townsville knew that weren't evil- well, not that kind of "evil", they'd still be cautious and Brick didn't like it. So he decided that we'd move to start out fresh. Somewhere no one could look at us as a villain. when people would look at us, they'd think of 3 pre-teen boys who wandered in a new town.
"And as the time went by, we actually calmed ourselves of crime and started doing things that we think guys in puberty stages would do. Turns out that we excel a lot more than we think so here I am telling you my life story."
"That was a mouthful." I let out a giggle.
"Sure was." Another awkward silence. Ugh, I hate silences like these.
"My turn, is it alright if I ask a question?"
"Sure." I say sweetly.
"Ever since my brothers and I moved back here.. All the girls have been going head over heels for us. The only thing is you and your sisters haven't. Why?"
Oh, Boomer. So cute, but so very dense.
"Well, maybe it's the fact that we've beaten each other before, like, on a regular basis. Or maybe it's the fact that we're counterparts?"
"But shouldn't that make it easier for you girls to fall for us, since we're you know, counterparts?"
"Or it could be the reason why I'm not falling for you cause by the word counterpart. Emphasis on the word counter."
"Ooohh kay?"
"You do understand what I just said, right?"
"Yeah, sure I do!"
I couldn't help but sigh. "You know, I'm a lot smarter than people think I am."
"Really?" I nod. "I thought you were the type who usually goes boy-crazy."
"Is that suppose to be a compliment or an insult?"
"Uhhh, neither?"
"Smart choice."
"Soo.. you really have no plan of falling for me?"
"Why? Do you want me to?"
"No.. I was.. just wondering.."
I really hate it when people think I'm a "dumb blonde". I'm not. It really hurts when someone insults you because of your appearance. And in my case, it's because I'm blonde. Stupid. But I guess that's how people make themselves feel superior over someone.
Do you wanna know the reason why I'm the least smartest of the Powerpuff Girls? It's like this: I'm actually the second to the smartest, but because of me being so indulge in art, I lose myself. I'm completely in another world, therefore, causing me to neglect my studies. There not bad either though. I get A minus' and B plus', and it satisfies me.
Maybe people think I'm dumb because of Boomer, no offense to him. Yeah, we're both equally smart but the fact that he's dense doesn't really help it. And that's natural density. He doesn't do it on purpose to act cute or something. Since we're counterparts, I guess people kind of reflect one counterpart with the other.
Sigh. I wish people would change.
"Oh. Okay." I finally say, after a long pause of thinking.
"Hey, if I were to, let's say, actually want you to fall for me, what would I do? Just a question."
I lift my right brow. "You're asking me what you'll do?"
"Yeah."
I roll my eyes and grab my sketchpad and pencil and I begin to stand up. "Hey! Where you going? You didn't even answer my question yet!"
"I'll tell you what, it takes a lot more than just cheesy lines, chocolates and bouquets of flowers to get me falling. Especially falling for you."
I begin walking away until Boomer calls out, "Is that suppose to be an insult?"
I turn around, "No. I'm just saying that even though we're on good terms now, doesn't mean that I still trust you or forgive you. Not after our past. So as I said, it takes a lot more for any boy to make me fall for them. Especially you, Boomer. Bye-bye, see you at school." I gave him a smile and begin to walk away.
"Bye." He says softly.
Boomer mutters something that only people with super power hearing can hear, "I'll make you mine someday. Just you wait, Bubbles Utonium."
I smile and say softly to myself, "We'll just see, Boomer Jojo."
