CHAPTER 16: AND THAT MAKES THREE

A/N: I know I don't do this often, but thank you VERY much to everyone who has reviewed my story. Also thank you to all of you who are fans of it and favorited; makes me feel special to know people like it. ^_^

The group walked into their house and sat down on the couches in the living room. Bubbles noticed this ring on Blossom's finger. "Oh, my God! Brick proposed?!" she squeeled.

Boomer, Butch and Buttercup looked at the two reds. Blossom blushed furiously. "Yeah he did."

"Who, what, when, where, why, and how?!"

Brick chuckled. "Come on, Bubbles. You know the who and what. As for the rest of your questions, about fifteen minutes after we split up, in the movie theater and because I love her."

"What about the how?" Bubbles asked.

"I'm getting there," Brick said. "Be patient. Anyway, we were talking about how if we didn't have powers we probably wouldn't have gotten together in the first place because thats's what brought us together with the whole limited number of super powered beings that understand you thing. Blossom was talking about how the impossible can be possible if you believe it is and in miracles. Take all us for example. We're suppose to hate each other yet we did completely the opposite. I popped the question and here we are. Is that good enough, Bubbles?"

"Aww, that's so cute!" she said and went over to Blossom. "Let me see." Blossom lifted her hand in front of Bubbles' face. "It's so pretty! You picked well, Brick." She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Or should I say, brother?" she said and giggled.

"It's going to take a while to get used to that," Butch mumbled. "We're one big happy family."

"And that's a bad thing?" Brick quirked an eyebrow at his brother.

Buttercup elbowed him in the side. "It's not and stop acting like it is."

"Sorry, ma'am..." he mumbled.

"Aww, Butch has become soft," Boomer teased.

Butch glared at his brother. "I have not!"

Buttercup laughed. "Believe it or not, once you get past his whole 'I'm hardcore' chirade he can actually be sweet and sensitive."

Brick faked being hurt. "Aww, Butch. Why didn't you tell us you were a sissy deep down?" he said and snickered.

"Because I'm not a sissy!" Butch growled and looked at Buttercup. "Thanks a lot, woman..."

"Your welcome," she said with fake sweetness. Butch stuck his tongue out at her. "Aww, you know you love me," Buttercup said.

"Okay, that I won't argue with," he said and kissed her.

"So when are you popping the question, Butch?" Brick teased.

"Hmm, I don't know," Butch said and pretended to think. "How about right now?" He fished a box out of his pocket and got off the couch and down on one knee. "Buttercup, as much as a pain in the ass I can be, you still accept me and let me stay in your life. And if you'll let me, I'd like to be a part of it forever. Will you marry me?"

Buttercup smirked. "Hmm, I don't know," she said mimiking him from earlier. "How about yes?"

Butch smiled and put the ring on her finger. It was a gold band with two hearts in the middle, one lime green and one forest green. From which ever angle it was held at, one faced up and the other down. Three diamonds lined the band on either side. "I thought this was perfect because it kind of resembles us. We may be on opposite sides of things sometimes, but we still are at each others' sides."

Buttercup admired her new ring. "It's beautiful. I love you, you big pain in the ass."

"I know, and I'm damn lucky. I love you too."

Bubbles sighed. "Aww!"

Blossom smiled at her newly engaged siblings. She felt a surge of power flow through her body and she floated up slightly. She hurried up and sat back down and nudged Brick. "Hate to ruin the moment, but I think we have a problem."

Everyone turned to her. "What's that?" Brick asked.

"This." She let herself float up off the couch and hover in the air. "The problem isn't that I have my powers back, but more so that those bitches will too."

"Oh shit," Brick mumbled.

"Well that's fucking fantastic," Butch said, looking very unpleased.

"Shouldn't our powers be coming back?" Bubbles asked.

"Yeah, Brick. You said ours should come back when Blossom's do," Boomer said.

"I said they should come back about the time Blossom's do, not right at the same time," Brick said.

"Well if they don't hurry up and those bitches come back now we're screwed," Butch said. "Way to go, Brick."

"Shut up. I doubt those bitches would be back so quickly. They'll still have to wait a day or two to fully heal, especially Beserk. I gave her third degree burns and with the Chemical X in her body being inactive for two days, it's going to take a while."

"Wait, how'd you give her burns?" Buttercup asked.

"I'm the opposite of Blossom, so my special ability is fire." Brick said. He felt power surge through his body so he lifted his hand and made fire. "My powers are back and I was last injected, so all yours should be back too."

"That is so cool!" Buttercup said. She tried to float off the couch and found she could. "Yes, my powers are back!" She looked over at Butch and grinned evily and tackled him.

"Well there's one thing I didn't miss when our powers were gone..." Brick muttered and the rest snickered.

Butch pinned Buttercup and stopped to look at Brick. "You want to be next?" he growled. Brick held out his palm and lazily made a fire. Butch's face paled. "Nevermind." He went back to wrestling with Buttercup while muttering stuff like, "Damn Brick and his fire... Why I ought to..."

Blossom laughed before turning serious. "Shouldn't we start preparing for those bitches if they decide to show their ugly faces again?"

Boomer shuddered. "Well, looks like I'll be having nightmares about their hidious faces with too much make up that looks so bad it looks like it was applied with a shot gun."

Butch started laughing like a maniac and Buttercup was able to pin him. "Shot gun?! More like a cannon!"

Buttercup started laughing and joined in with his jokes. "Oh my, Brute. I think you smeared your make up. Let me help you find the nearest cannon. Put your face right here." She immitated it firing. "Oops, looks like I forgot to take the cannon ball out. Oh well!" She joined Butch's hyteric laughing.

Blossom laughed. "And that's why they're meant for each other."

Butch wasn't done. "Oh, honey, that's such an improvement for you!" he said and kept laughing.

Boomer and Bubbles started laughing along with Blossom. Brick smirked and rolled his eyes. "You have to admit, it actually would be an improvement for them," Bubbles said inbetween laughs.

"Oh! That's how we'll defend ourselves when they come back!" Buttercup said from the floor.

Brick sighed. "We're not shooting cannons."

"Kill joy!" Butch said. "Then what's our course of action?"

"Training?" Bubbles asked.

"No," Brick said. "The ultimate Antidote X."

A/N: Hope you liked. When I was writing this I honestly could not stop laughing at the cannon part... Anyway please review and I'll try to get another chapter up soon.
