CHAPTER 15: WHAT IT'S LIKE

A/N: I am SO sorry about the long wait! I've been super busy and haven't been able to get to a computer to write another chapter! I keep kicking myself in the ass because I haven't gotten anything up in forever. SO SORRY! Just a heads up though, that I might not be able to get up too many chapters in July. I'm going somewhere the 1st-10th and when band camp rolls around I'll probably be too tired to do anything. I'll try to get as many chapters up as I can before those two times.

Blossom grumbled as she climbed up the stairs. "Damn, I really took my powers for granted sometimes." Brick floated just ahead. "So not fair," she mumbled.

"Well what do you want me and everyone else to do? Inject ourselves with Antidote X so we can't use our powers either?" Brick asked.

"No, it's only a couple days, but still. Not fun," an idea popped into her head. "Why don't one of these days we all get injected with Antidote X so we can see what it's like to not have super powers?"

Brick pulled the two remaining vials of Antidote X from his pocket. "Want to find out right now? Our siblings and I won't get a full dose like you did and it will probably wear off about the same time that you get your powers back."

"Sure, but sneak up on them when you do it," Blossom said and smirked.

"Hop onto my back," Brick said. Blossom did and he floated through the house looking for his siblings. "If I know our siblings, Butch and Buttercup are probably in the gym and Bubbles and Boomer in the kitchen. Who first?"

"Butch and BC?" Blossom suggested.

"Okay, but stay on my back so we can get the hell out of there because they will most likely be very pissed." Brick floated down the stairs and into the basement. He quietly opened the door to the gym and peered in. Butch and Buttercup we inside wrestling again. "Hey guys," Brick said and casually went in.

"Time!" Butch yelled. "Damn it, Brick. You know we hate when people come in here when we're fighting."

Brick gripped the two vials behind his back. "Yeah, well I had something important to tell you two. Come here." Butch and Buttercup leaned closer curious. Brick quickly injected them each with about half the vials. "Think fast!" he yelled and flew away.

"Let's get him!" Buttercup said and tried to fly after Brick. "What the hell?! I can't fly!" She tried using her powers. "That bastard injected us with Anitdote X!"

"When we get our powers back, he'll be sorry," Butch growled. "Wanna go back to wrestling?"

"Sure, let's see how much it affected our strength." Buttercup lunged at Butch and tried to pin him down but failed. "Damn it!"

"Told you, babe, I always win," he said and kissed her.

"Not again," Brick whispered. "Let's get out of here." He backed away from the door and floated up the stairs and into the kitchen where they found Bubbles and Boomer.

"Give me one and I'll get Bubbles," Blossom whispered in his ear.

"Okay, but make sure you leave a little. I'm going to combine the two at the end to get me," Brick whispered back and looked at Boomer. "Hey, bro!" He engulfed Boomer in a hug.

"Uhh, hey?" Boomer asked, unsure of the sudden affection. "Ow! What the hell did you just do?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out," Brick said and smirked.

"Hey, Blossom- Ow!" they heard Bubbles say.

Blossom ran back over to where Brick was and stood slightly behind him. Boomer glared. "I'm going to get you!" He tried to fly at Brick but noticed he couldn't. "What's going on? Where's my powers?" he asked.

"Gone," Brick said. "No one has them now except me and they're going right now." Brick injected the remainder of the two vials into him and he landed on the ground.

"Why are you injecting us with Antidote X?" Bubbles asked.

"For one, it's not fair to Blossom that we all can still fly when she can't, and haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to be normal and not have powers?"

"Yeah, actually," Boomer said.

"When are ours coming back?" Bubbles asked.

"You only got about half a vial so about the time Blossom gets hers." Brick said. Butch and Buttercup walked in. Butch was holding his head. "What'd you do now, Butch?" Brick asked.

"Fell down the damn stairs and thanks to you I couldn't catch myself," he sneered. "You probably still have your powers."

"No, I don't," Brick said. "No one does."

"Wait, what?" Buttercup asked. "Why?"

"I injected us all with about half the Antidote X that was left in the vials. It'd be more fair to Blossom and don't you ever wonder what it's like to not have any powers and be normal?" Brick asked.

"I did, but if falling down the stairs is part of being normal then this is going to be hell," Butch said.

"What are we suppose to do anyway?" Bubbles asked.

Brick shrugged. "Normal teenager stuff? Shopping and walking places instead of flying."

"Great," Buttercup grumbled.

"And now you know how I feel," Blossom said and stuck her tongue out at Buttercup.

"This might actually be kind of fun!" Bubbles squeeled.

"Wait, what about the Punks?" Butch asked.

"They're probably hiding somewhere and recovering from the fight. They got about the same amount of Antidote X Blossom did, so I don't think we have much to worry about," Brick said.

"Enough talking! Let's go!" Bubbles ran out the door dragging Boomer behind her.

The six teens walked outside and started walking towards the shops in town. Buttercup walked alongside Butch with her hand clasped in his. "I hope I never have to go through this again," she said. "I know we do walk at times but it's so weird when you're not used to it."

"Yeah, but it does show us how much we take having super powers for granted," Butch said.

Buttercup leaned her head on Butch's shoulder. "I guess this wouldn't be so bad if we were used to it. It's not everyday someone had powers like us."

The group reached town where a lot of the shops and other normal teenager stuff was. "Want to split up and meet back in a couple hours?" Brick asked. The others nodded and went off in different directions. "What would you like to do?" he asked Blossom.

"Go see a movie?" she suggested.

"Okay. What about Warm Bodies?" he asked.

"Sure! I've been wanting to see that so bad!" she said.

The reds walked to the theater and got their tickets. "Popcorn?" Brick asked. Blossom nodded and Brick got a bucket of popcorn and a large drink. He walked with Blossom to the showing room. "Where would you like to sit?"

"Up top," she said.

"Top top?" She nodded and they walked up the stairs to the top row of seats. Hardly anyone was there yet, so they centered themselves in the middle. Brick looked at Blossom. "You ever wish we didn't have powers and were normal?"

"Sometimes, yeah. But it would be difficult to loose them permanently now. If it had been when we were younger and first created it would be a little easier to adapt to."

"That's true," he agreed. "But then it would that would have meant we could have never ended up together. The benefit of us having the powers made it so we could really only be with each other. Being with someone who wasn't the same as us would be kind of difficult." He leaned toward her and tilted her head up. "As much as I despise being different and being created how I was, I'm grateful for it at the same time because it brought me to you and showed me that we were always meant to be together." He connected their lips and kissed her.

She broke apart after a couple minutes for air. "I'm also grateful we are how we are. If someone would have told us we would be together in the future back when we hated each others' guts, we would have laughed and said they were crazy. But now, I wouldn't want it any other way." She reconnected their lips. "I guess if you believe in miracles, anything is possible."

Brick reached into his pocket. "If by anything do you also mean this?" he asked and opened the box. Blossom gasped. "I've never found a girl that could understand me any better than you, and no other girl ever will. Blossom, will you marry me?"

She looked into his eyes and a couple tears rolled down her cheek. "Yes!" she said and hugged him before kissing him again. He placed the ring on her finger and she looked down at it. It was a silver band with a heart shaped diamond in the center and red and pink gems along the band on either side. "It's beautiful," she whispered.

"Not nearly as beautiful as you," he whispered back.

She kissed him. "I love you."

"I love you more," he said.

"I doubt that," she said and pushed him playfully.

"Are you really glad for having powers now?" he asked. "If we were normal this probably wouldn't have happened between you and me."

"Yes," she said. He lifted up the arm rest between them and she scooted over snuggled up to his side.

The movie played and in what seemed like a matter of minutes the lights came back on. "Wow that went by fast," Brick said.

"Yeah, it did. R and Julie are kind of like us if you think about it. They were two unlike beings who believed in the impossible and ended up together in the end. I loved it!"

"Me too," he said and he walked with her outside. "Let's go find the others."

Not long after, Bubbles and Boomer walked up. Bubbles was carrying shopping bags and so was Boomer. "These are all hers," he said. "Damn, these get heavy pretty quickly when you don't have powers."

"It's pretty obvious what you two we out doing," Blossom said and giggled. "Where's Butch and Buttercup?"

"No, I won!"

"No, I did! I kicked your ass!"

"Nevermind," Blossom muttered. Butch and Buttercup ran up to the group. "So what did you guys do?" Blossom asked.

"Video games!" Butch yelled hyperly. "And I totally kicked her ass but she won't admit defeat!"

"I beat you and you know it!" Buttercup replied.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Shut up!" the reds and blues yelled and the greens instantly got quiet.

"Anyone want to go to the park for a while and watch the sunset?" Brick asked.

"Sure," Bubbles said and everyone else nodded in agreement. They went to the park and Bubbles ran over to a tree. "Boomie! It's our tree!"

He came up beside her and put the bags down. Boomer smiled at her. "Yes it is. Want to claim it as ours?" he asked and pulled out a pocket knife. He carved the words BubblesxBoomer into the tree. Their siblings came over to see what they were doing. "You all want to put your names here?" Boomer asked.

Brick took the knife from Boomer and carved BlossomxBrick and handed it to Butch who carved ButtercupxButch. Brick had another thought. "Can I see that again?" he asked. Butch handed him the knife and Brick carved PPGxRRB above all their names. Below the names he added Anything's Possible.

"In all honestly, this was one of the best days ever," Boomer said. "Hey, Brick, you should add the date too."

He did and looked at his family and smiled. "One day we'll look back at this place and remember what it was like to be normal for once in our lives." Everyone smiled back. He looked at the sky and noticed it was getting dark. "As much as I hate for this day to end, let's go home."

A/N: Hope you liked! I kind of zoned out when I wrote this and when I was done and looked back I thought it wasn't half bad at all. Please review and I hope not to keep you waiting too long for another chapter.
