CHAPTER 7: BOOMER AND BUBBLES

A/N: Thank you very much to all of you who left me positive reviews on my previous chapter; they made me smile. Thank you to all my fans, and I hope you like this chapter.

Boomer and Bubbles walked into the kitchen of what would soon be the girls' new place. She hopped up onto the counter. "This is a lot nicer than I thought it would be. I could get used to being here," she said and smiled at Boomer.

He smiled back. "Glad you like it. And don't worry about the monkey coming back. If he does we'll tell him to get lost."

She giggled. "So who does the cooking around here? I'm assuming definitely not Butch so it has to be you or Brick. I'm going to go with you."

"Yeah it's me. Butch can't cook to save his life and Brick is okay at it. Most of the time he just orders pizza or something." He hopped up onto the counter and sat next to her. His hand found hers and their fingers intertwined. "Looks like we got our wish," he said softly.

"Yeah, I guess we did. Our siblings are getting along like we wanted," she said. "Who knew it would take our house blowing up and..." she didn't finish and a couple tears escaped her eyes.

Boomer hugged her. "It's okay," he said gently. "I never expected anything like this. The Ruffs and Puffs living together? The Apocalypse must be coming."

Bubbles laughed. "Must be. But when Brick offered for us to stay here and you and Butch agreed I knew right then that your brothers didn't hate my sisters and you guys actually cared."

"They've cared for a while as far as I can tell."

"Really?" Bubbles asked.

"Yeah. We have a training room downstairs that we used for training to defeat you girls. Then one day Brick said that he didn't think we needed to train anymore and we haven't used it since unless for fun. At first I wondered why he'd say that, but then it hit me that he liked Blossom. I got the feeling about Butch too when he didn't really protest about the discontinuation of training and later in battles when I noticed he acted different around Buttercup. He'd still beat her ass, sure, but afterwards in his eyes I saw something that looked like regret and maybe something more. They've never straight out told me they like your sisters, but if you pay close enough attention you can see through their poker faces. Would you like to go downstairs and see the training room and everything else down there?"

"Sure," she said and jumped off the counter. They floated down the stairs.

"First door on the right is the gym. You can look inside if you want," he said.

"Okay," she tried to open the door but it was locked. "Do you usually keep it locked?"

"No, not unless someone is in there, and I'm guessing that someone is Butch and your sister. Butch?" he called.

Some shuffling was heard before Butch opened the door. "Hey, what's up?" he asked.

"I was showing Bubbles around and the door was locked so I figured you were in here. What were you doing?" Boomer asked, suspicious.

"BC and I were fighting," he said simply.

"And why was the door locked?" Boomer pressed.

"Because I didn't want someone to walk in and interrupt our fight. If I was kicking her ass and someone, say you, walked in and interrupted and she beat my ass because of it, guess who's ass is next in line to be kicked?" Butch threatened. "You were lucky we were taking a break."

Boomer gulped. "Sorry, we'll leave now." Boomer turned away as the door shut again. "I doubt that's all they were doing..." he mumbled.

Bubbles giggled. "Yeah, probably not. Is the training room the next one or the one at the back?"

"The one at the back but look in the other one too. I'll think you'll be pleasantly surprised." Boomer said.

"I will on the way back," she said and opened the door to the training room. "Very nice. Maybe we'll have to fight together sometime."

"Want to now?" he asked.

"Sure. What are we going to go up against?"

"How about our siblings?" he replied mischeiviously.

"Why would we fight them?" Bubbles asked skeptically.

"Maybe they want to kill us for doing something bad, like maybe you got pregnant?"

Bubbles eyes widened. "Yeah they might, but that isn't going to happen because I'm not going to be stupid enough to get knocked up in the first place."

"Yeah, I know you better than that." He chuckled. "If anything those two in the other room are going to be the ones facing the wrath of their siblings."

She laughed. "You're probably right about that one."

"So what level can you handle?"

"If I remember correctly, I believe hardcore seven."

"Wow, that's impressive."

Bubbles looked at him and glared. "What, you didn't think a girl could train that high?"

"I didn't mean it that way!"

"Then what did you mean?"

"I meant that it actually is impressive because you're on the same level as my brothers and I before we stopped training. Actually, that would explain why during fights we're usually evenly matched. Anyway would you like to fight a simulation of your sisters or my brothers?"

"I'll go with my sisters because they would probably be the ones to kill me first if something like you suggested happened," she said, the last part dripping with venom. "Besides, I don't ever get to fight in a real battle against them because we're always fighting you."

"Good point. I've fought Butch and Brick before when we've gotten into arguments, but we don't fight like we would in a battle against you and your sisters. This should be interesting." He went over to the control panel and entered a few settings. "That should do it. Let's go."

Bubbles and Boomer walked into the simulator and shut the door. A simulation of Townsville appeared around them, along with the simulations of their siblings. Boomer spoke up. "I forgot to mention. They're set to only target us until we are defeated. Your sisters will only target you and my brothers will only target me until one of us goes down. If that happens the other is most likely screwed."

"Thanks for the words of incouragement..." she muttered. Bubbles looked at her "sisters" and waited for them to make the first move. "Blossom" and "Buttercup" flew at her. "Blossom" tried using ice breath to freeze Bubbles into place, but Bubbles quickly dodged and let out a sonic scream that sent "Blossom" flying into a nearby building. "Buttercup" tackled Bubbles and pinned her to the ground. Bubbles kicked "Buttercup" off her and turned to where "Blossom" was coming back at her. Bubbles conjured up an electricity ball and threw it at "Blossom" who was knocked to the ground and unconcious for the moment. She could sense "Buttercup" was trying to sneak up on her from behind, so she back flipped over the charging figure, grabbed her, and threw her to the ground.

Boomer stared at his brothers. "Butch" had his usual smirk while "Brick" just glared before speaking up. "What's the matter Boomer? Too chicken to fight? Or are you just too weak?" "Butch" and "Brick" started laughing. Rage flared up in Boomer. After all these years, I'm still the weak and pathetic baby, huh? I'll show them weak! Boomer lunged at the still laughing "Butch" and tackled him to the ground. He began to punch "Butch" until "Brick" came up and kicked him away. "Brick" then shot lasers at Boomer who dodged them with little effort. He charged at "Brick" and hit him into a nearby building. Boomer went around and weakened the rest of the structure so that it fell on both his "brothers". He saw them start to emerge and looked at Bubbles. "They're getting weak. We're going to have to team up if we want to finish them quickly."

Bubbles raced over to him. "Okay, but what do we do?"

"The best we can do right now is an electricity attack. If we combine both our powers the blast should be too strong for them to handle."

"Okay," she said and noticed that both her "sisters" and Boomer's "brothers" advancing. "Let's do this!" She conjured up electricity and so did Boomer. They put their hands close together and shot the blast at the four approaching. Bubbles and Boomer watched as their siblings got hit and fell to the ground, defeated. The simulator shut down and went back to white.

"Looks like we won," Boomer said. "Great job."

"Thanks," she said. "I know it was just a simulation, but I hope that I never really have to do that. It was hard watching my sisters go down because of something I did. Even when I was watching the simulations of your brothers I felt horrible. No wonder Brick wanted to stop training."

"Yeah, I know. Like I said, I'm used to fighting with Brick and Butch, but that was awful to watch. I don't want to do that ever again, whether real life or the simulator."

"Agreed. Want to go upstairs now?"

"Sure," he said. They floated back upstairs and then up to the second floor. "Door on the right." Boomer said.

She went inside and looked around. King sized bed, nightstand, dresser with a TV on top, walk in closet, and a drawing desk. "You draw?" she asked.

He blushed a little. "Maybe."

Bubbles walked over and picked up a drawing. It was one of her and Boomer when they were talking in the tree the previous day. "It's beautiful..."

Boomer came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her midsection. "You really think so?"

She turned her head and kissed him. "That answer your question?" she asked, smiling.

"So what do you think of our room?" he asked.

"I love it!"

He smiled and released her. Boomer opened a drawer of the dresser and pulled out a t shirt and a pair of black shorts. "Here, so you can get more comfortable. Bathroom is next to the closet."

"Thanks, but what do I do with my old clothes?" she asked.

"Throw them out here and I'll get them washed for you so you don't have to wear mine tomorrow."

Bubbles walked in and shut the door behind her. She quickly changed out of her old clothes and threw them out the door. She put on the new ones and noticed the shirt was long so she rolled it up at the back and fastened it with a spare hair tie. She redid her pigtails and walked back out. "Well, how do I look?"

"I could say, 'Boy, do you look dumb!' like I did before, but I'm going to go with beautiful," he said.

She laughed. "I remember that. You were pretty much insulting yourself."

"Yeah, but I was five back then, and all I cared about was making fun of a girl who I thought had cooties." he said and laughed.

Bubbles hugged him and connected their lips. "Isn't it better now that you know I don't have cooties?" she asked.

"A lot better," he agreed. "Want to sleep or watch something on TV?" he asked.

"I'll go with sleep," she said. Bubbles floated over to his bed and climbed in. He followed shortly after and wrapped his arms around her again. "I could get used to this," she whispered.

"Me too," he said and kissed her neck.

"I think what happened today was the best and worst thing that's ever happened to me. It's hard losing the Professor, but being close to you is what makes it bearable." She sighed contently. "Thanks for letting us stay here."

"No problem. I don't think my brothers and I would be able to do nothing and watch you suffer. I'm glad you told me to come."

"I wish I could say that my sisters and I would have done the same thing for you guys if it was your situation, but I don't think I can. Blossom and Buttercup probably would have still acted like they hated you."

"It's okay. We would have managed because that's how we lived before," he said and sighed. "At least now with the monkey gone we have some place to call home."

"'Home'..." she whispered. "I like the sound of that." She turned towards him and kissed him again. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight, my angel."
