Greens in a Crowd
That memorable night, prom night, she smiled, before all of this had happened to them. Buttercup can still remember the lights flashing all night long, the music playing the best. Her and her sister's dates, they could have done better. But the photo in her wallet with her and her sisters wasn't with their dates. Though at the time nothing seemed like anything was wrong, but that night she remembered. Just before the picture was taken, the Rowdyruff boys quickly pushed their dates out of the way and posed with the girls instead. The looks on her face staring at Butch's sneaky smirk, she wanted to kill him for pushing her date away. Blossom her face was annoyed looking up at Brick has he dipped her in the picture. As for Bubbles and Boomer they had the descent photo looking as they were both smiling at each other. Well Bubbles was a little caught off guard but she smiled. The only picture she had of her sisters and the only picture Butch had with his brothers.
As Buttercup waited on the couch, Bunny opened the door and Buttercup quickly put the photo away flying out of her chair. Bunny stood at the front of the door making a trumpet sounds from her mouth. Buttercup floated over crossing her legs over and her arms awaiting the arrival of the new Butch. Butch was soon dragged out as a different completely looking guy, piercing out, hair flattened and trim, wearing a white button shirt, and black dress shoes. He was dressed like he had a business trip. But the outfit itself was different from their actual clothes, the stitching, and the style of it was very different. Though by the look of Butch's face he wasn't pleased with his new look.
"Doesn't he look handsome!" Robin squealed.
"It's an improvement." Buttercup smirked, loving to see Butch this way.
"Can't believe I have to wear these old man clothes…"Butch groaned, lowering his head cursing a few words under his breath.
"Now it's your turn!" Robin smiled.
"Heh, sorry girls but you can't touch my look." Buttercup snorted.
"Buttercup we talked about this till we can get you guys some clothes of your own we have to get you two to blend in and not make you guys look 3000 years old." Bunny explained placing her hands on her hips.
"Did you just call me old?!" Buttercup growled.
"I think she did Buttergrandma." Butch snickered.
"I'm not old!" Buttercup hissed.
"Oh of course you're not grandma Buttercup." Butch grinned, crossing his arms soon was picked up by Buttercup by his collar and pinned him up against the wall.
"Shut up! I'm not old!" Buttercup yelled shaking him up as Butch just grinned wider.
"Please grandma you should rest your old wrinkly body!" Butch laughed pushing Buttercup off of him.
"COME AT ME GRANDPA!" Buttercup pounced back tackling him to the ground.
"ALRIGHT GRANDMA!" Butch shouted kicking Buttercup into another room.
Robin was in awe struck to actually see an actual super fight from the world's strongest super hero and villain. It was a dream comes true as it was a nightmare for Bunny watching the two fought, as they were knocking stuff down. Robin was cheering the two on as Bunny glared at her and tried to stop the two. These weren't the same two that were getting along last night, but then again these two might have well been ticking time bombs. The new clothes Butch were wearing were getting torn by ever blow Buttercup threw at him. Just as Butch grabbed ahold of Buttercup and was spinning her around like a rag doll.
"STOP THIS THIS INSTANT!" Mr. Utonium cried out, tapping his foot.
Butch dropped Buttercup, as Buttercup picked herself back up from the floor both of them staring at Mr. Utonium waiting for him to speak.
"Over 3000 years old and you two act like children." Mr. Utonium shouted at them.
"She/He started it!" Butch and Buttercup cried out together pointing at each other.
"I don't care who started it, this is my house and I will not tolerate it! Buttercup there will be no more lip coming out of you; you know we have to keep you and Butch here undercover." Mr. Utonium stated placing his foot down. "Do I make myself clear you two?"
Butch and Buttercup looked at each other and then back at him, "Crystal."
"Good now Butch go get yourself cleaned up, Buttercup get dressed, and Bunny here is some money for them don't spend too much just the necessary to get them a week worth of clothes until my next paycheck." Mr. Utonium said giving her card money, "Now I must head down to the lap to still look at the blood samples I took from you too. Do tell me why most of your blood streams is full of spice and um under arm hair?"
"Um sugar, spice, and everything nice makes up the perfect little girls, but then adding a dose of chemical x makes the Powerpuff girls!" Buttercup smiled. "I'm mostly made of spice."
"My brothers and I were made in prison; we were made what little boys are made off." Butch rolled his eyes.
"Ewww so you're mostly made of under arm hair?" Robin gaged as Butch rolled his eyes at her comment.
"Very strange how simple things make who you are, well I better get going and study the powers when I get home I'll tell you if I was able to find anything to find your siblings." Mr. Utonium commented and fixed his jacket. "Oh before I forget here you two go your very own ID cards this way people won't suspect anything. But you two are my long distance relative's children who are staying with me. You two seem to act greatly as siblings so make sure it doesn't go beyond that." Handing them their ID cards.
"Don't worry." Buttercup groaned looking at the ID card.
Mr. Utonium picked up his suit case, giving Bunny a kiss on the forehead and saying his good-byes to the others off he went. Leaving the four of them alone, Buttercup took a deep sigh and followed Robin and Bunny inside the bathroom for an unwelcoming makeover. Being forced to look like her sister Bubbles, with her hair straighten and flipped at the tips. Buttercup was wearing short white shirt, blue tank top, yellow small jacket, and yellow high heels. Buttercup slowly wobbled out of the bathroom dressed like her little sister. Butch chuckled seeing Buttercup so uncomfortable in her hideaway getup but couldn't help that when dressed up. Buttercup actually was very attracting looking, soon after Butch was cleaned up again and all four of them headed out. Butch and Buttercup groaned all the way, never have they in their life walked for long. But both of them were keeping their eyes open for anything out of the ordinary but lucky no one really paid attention to them.
Once at the mall, Butch and Buttercup were relieved that it looked like their old mall just a bit more retro. If only they could fly in public would it be better, Bunny and Robin were showing them the map of the mall. It was a small size hologram map showing each building, and then buttons underneath to show off what type of clothes they sold before you went in. But it wasn't soon when Butch and Buttercup saw their favorite store, "Hot Topic", they mouths dropped and both of them hugged them. Thanking them for keeping their favorite store ever, but before Bunny could show them what the clothes were in there. Butch and Buttercup were already running their way to the store. Robin cheerfully followed behind them as Bunny was a bit concerned cause of what they would might see.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Buttercup cried out, falling to her knees in front of the store.
"WHY?! WHY?!" Butch yelled, covering his face with his arm.
"What's wrong?" Bunny ran over to them, seeing Robin rub Buttercup's back.
"The one store, the one store! You had to mess with, Hot Topic!" Buttercup pointing to the once rock and roll store now a girly store Bubbles and Blossom would most likely be seen in.
"Where's a time machine when ya need one?" Butch groaned looking at the girly store.
"But Hot Topic always had been a girly store." Bunny stated, rubbing the back of her head.
"Well it's been one since after you guys were like ya know." Robin smiled.
"I know a store you guys might be looking for, called Forever 21." Bunny suggested with a smile.
Butch and Buttercup looked at each other they knew what Forever 21 had in the clothing department. Until they got to the front of the store, the looks on their faces were shocked as the two stores switched the clothing styles. Butch and Buttercup just dragged their bodies inside not believing that this was even the future. How could two completely different stores with no connection what-so-ever switch?! It just bothered them, but at least picking up their own styles again helped made the day go faster. Soon Buttercup and Butch were wearing new styles again but the same they wore.
"Hey Bu-I mean Lucy look!" Butch showed off his new tongue ring that changed colors.
"Whoa awesome! Just found one just like that for my lip." Buttercup smiled puckering her lips to show him.
"Hey put those away!" Butch chuckled.
"I knew it!" Robin jumped in between them making them jump.
"Knew what?!" Buttercup questioned.
"You two are totally dating aren't ya?! Of course you two are you guys are actually made for each other!" Robin smiled, but then was bonked on the head by Buttercup. "Hey!"
"Get your heads out of the clouds." Buttercup huffed her face a little red.
"Yeah, we were just showing off the color piercing." Butch stated his face a bit red as well.
"Well anyways, you color birds done yet I would like to leave." Bunny smiled.
"Yeah we're done." Buttercup huffed, placing her hands on her hips.
Bunny smiled and hand them over their clothes so she could get in line; Buttercup and Butch grabbed their clothes as Robin lead them up front. Once they placed the clothes down on the counter, Bunny was just leaning over the counter. She was almost like she was waiting for someone to come out the floor. Soon enough a strange sound came over and Bunny stand straight back up as girl her age with big red curls, and freckles all over her face. Buttercup and Butch jaws dropped seeing their most hated enemy.
"Hello Bunny, never knew you were in these types of fashions?" She smiled.
"Oh it's not for me Princess, it's for my twin cousins." Bunny smiled and stepped aside to introduced them, "This is Lucy Utonium and her twin Al Utonium."
"Oh so nice too meet you, Bunny never told me about you guys." Princess cheerfully said, making the two uncomfortable of how friendly she was being.
"Um pardon me by being so straight forward, but you're a Morbucks r-right?" Buttercup questioned.
"Why yes I am! I come from a long line of Morbucks; my name been passed down from generation to generation. But sadly there aren't many girls in my family so I'm just Princess Morbucks the 3rd." Princess stated proudly.
Butch and Buttercup looked at each other in disbelief how this Princess was different from their Princess. But thankfully she isn't all high and mighty like her great grandmother. Princess ringed all of the clothes up, though going over their budget cause of their need for pricing in their faces. Robin pitched in just so they wouldn't be in trouble when she comes over to hang out with them.
"So before you go, are you seeing anyone Al?" Princess winked with a flirty smile.
"Ummm…
"Yes he's seeing someone and I wouldn't mess with her man got that?" Buttercup stated, wrapping her arm around Butch's neck. "You see me and her are like totally tight and she would hate to fly all the way down here to kick your ass for stealing her man."
"Hey I was just asking?!" Princess hissed.
"Lucy! Al! Let's go!" Bunny stated pushing them out before trying to ruin Princess's temper; as Robin followed them out smiling at Princess as she left holding Butch and Buttercup's bags.
"Are you two trying to get me killed on Monday?!" Bunny growled.
"Hey I didn't ask to be defended by there!" Butch hissed looking at Buttercup.
"I was just trying to help goof ball over here, besides Princess needs to know her place anyways. Besides your Princess isn't that bad as our Princess was in our days." Buttercup huffed.
"Well news flash that's Mitch's girlfriend, the guy who dumped in the forest where we found you two! She was the one who called the chase after me because I told the teacher she was cheating on her science test in class. I have to be on her good side, in case you haven't noticed I'm still in high school!" Bunny shouted at her crossing her arms.
"Bunny is right, also I can't follow her in those trees again I'm so out of shape." Robin commented.
"Wait your letting a Morbucks hurt you?!" Buttercup hissed.
"Look, it's none of your business okay!" Bunny shouted.
"It is my business we're Utoniums! We stand together! That's the family moto, 'Utoniums stand together.'" Buttercup stated as Bunny looked away.
"We use to stand together now it's just stood together." Bunny sighed, crossing her arms.
"Well that's changing, I'm VERY old fashion." Buttercup smiled and pulled Bunny closer into her arms, "We gotta look out for each other."
Bunny smiled and hugged back, "Thanks Buttercup…"
"Okay and no matter how OLD I am," Buttercup glared at Butch so he knows not to make any comment about being 'old', "I'm gonna be your sister from now, just so it makes it easier also that means I'm having a talk with Princess's dad."
"You're not gonna tell him I sent you?!" Bunny gasped a little worried.
"Nah, besides I gotta look out for ya sis and since I'm stuck with you anyways might as well help." Buttercup snickered as Bunny rolled her eyes but with a smile.
"So does that mean Butch can be mine?!" Robin smiled, holding onto Butch's arm.
"Um let me think..No" Butch groaned.
"But you can our friend…Oh man I sound like Blossom and Bubbles when I did become so sappy!?" Buttercup cried out, as the three of them laughed.
"Don't worry I feel like I've gone soft as well, I feel like Boomer ugh we need to find them fast so I can be me again." Butch stated.
"Let's go home." Bunny suggested.
"Okay, but first." Buttercup smiled and then grinned at Butch; grinning back they already know what they were thinking.
…
"AHHH!" Princess cried out covered in green goo, as people around her tried to help her out.
Up in the air in the shadows Butch, Buttercup, Bunny, and Robin were up above laughing their asses off watching Princess get a taste of her own medicine. Bunny was being held up by Buttercup as Robin was being held up by Butch. Robin and Bunny both held a bucket of goo in their hands. Butch flew ahead up on the roof opening the glass and Buttercup followed behind, once on the ground without anyone noticing. The four of them headed home with smiles on their faces. As they dropped of Robin at her place and headed back home, they knew something wasn't right; seeing the black smoke coming out of the windows. The three of them quickly rushed inside.
"Dad?!" Bunny cried out, running inside.
"Over here sweetie." Mr. Utonium coughed, taking off his goggles.
"What are you doing?" Butch asked, grabbing the nearest pillow helping the black fog leave the house.
"Well work went well I supposed I found a strange file, but before I could get in it was blocked. Couldn't override the codes, so I'm trying to see if I can make a helmet for us to find their location." Mr. Utonium stated.
Butch and Buttercup looked at each other, "Well I can tell you this Mr. U, if I could connect with my sisters in my dreams again I'd tell ya where they were." Buttercup commented.
"Yeah, same with my brothers but when we went to bed last night we really didn't get any connection to them." Butch added.
"So you're saying you can link up in dreams?" Mr. Utonium questioned as Butch and Buttercup nodded.
"Well tomorrow I have a day off, so I need to see those containment units right away. They might be blocking out the link." Mr. Utonium stated, still think looking at the helment that held in his hands. "Well you three go get cleaned up and I'll have the servant bot cook tonight."
...
She ran as far as her feet can take her, running in the world of emptiness; not going anywhere. Or was she? Where ever she was going she was heading nowhere, but she wasn't going to give up her blue teary eyes filled with sadness. But her hope wasn't gone she was going to escape her prison somehow, somewhere.
"IS ANYONE OUT THERE?! PLEASE SOMEONE!" She yelled her eyes filled with tears.
Never knowing next to her he was suffering as well, empty with darkness surrounding him. Trapped with the darkness around him not even the tiny of light came through, the only thing that glowed was his eyes. Filled with fear, not knowing where he was, how long it has been, or where they were. The only color shined through the darkness was his dark crystal blue eyes; will the nightmare of darkness and loneliness ever end.
