Late at night a long stare between the two greens, not one taking their eyes off one of each other. Butch squinted his eyes at Buttercup; as she gave him a scowling look. Buttercup laid across the couch her legs sitting comfortable on Butch's lap; her arms crossed across her chest. Her face bright as they could be as Butch sat that awaiting for her answer. At times Butch couldn't understand the things Buttercup did for him. One minute they're fighting and arguing the next she's being nice to him or pulling him out of a weird situation. But earlier today bugged him of all people she was actually jealous of Princess asking him out. Buttercup knew she didn't have to save his ass from Princess but then again why did it bug her that she helped him out of that situation. She of all people wouldn't care less who Butch chooses to date, but she knew it always bugged when she saw him with some girl. Even if there was nothing going between Butch and her it still to seem to bug her. But it also wasn't Buttercup who felt the same way, Butch as well. He hated the fact, when they were living in their own time, which Buttercup would want to hang out with Ace even when he disrespects her so much. Now after 3000 years I think the truth needs to be let out after the stunt Buttercup pulled with Princess.
"Well Buttercup you gonna stare at me all night or give me an answer?" Butch grunted, messing with her big toe.
Buttercup blushed and looked away, "Why are you even asking?"
"Cause I think we need to talk about it been going on for 3000 years and we act like freakin five years old!" Butch stated. "Besides I think we need to be honest it's just the two of us until we find Boomer, Brick, Bubbles, and Blossom."
"…Butch can I ask you something?" Buttercup sighed playing with her hair.
"Shoot." Butch nodded.
"D-Do you like like me?" Buttercup blushed looking anywhere but in Butch's direction a bit nervous making eye contact with him.
"Hmmm…Do I like like you?" Butch sighed his face tinting a rosy red, "Well let me see your hotheaded, your annoying, my worst enemy, also yo-," looking over at Buttercup seeing her face sadden by his every word. Butch leaned over and lifted her chin so they could meet eye to eye and smiled. "Yet at the same time you're beautiful, amazing, and the best fighter I always want to tackle with."
"I've got a confession to make; I only hanged out with Ace to make you jealous." Buttercup blushed with a smile as Butch laughed.
"Jealous?! Ha! I wanted to kick his ass for the way he treated ya Butterbutt!" Butch commented.
"And now ya tell me?! You couldn't like kicked his ass 3000 years earlier and your just now telling me this?!" Buttercup giggled.
"Well I was put to sleep right next to you my Butterbutt." Butch smirked, as Buttercup blushed.
Butch and Buttercup looked at each other with an awkward silence, one of them hoping to break the ice sooner or later. The silence between started to eat at them; Buttercup had no idea what to say. After 3000 years what do you say? 3000 years and now everything after that one incident the act is up, the past they knew what they were doing to each other. But showing it out in anger when they fought in Townsville. Buttercup at the time when the world was right, noticed her feelings for Butch when in middle school. The two greens were stuck doing a science project together when the spark between them bloomed. When they decided to turn their project into a major prank throughout the school, the only time they've truly hanged out with each other.
After that Butch and Buttercup went back to their normal lives. But those moments together sparked between the two, that day on they began try to make each other jealous. Even to the extent of spreading stupid rumors of what they did not do with some guy or girl. Well mostly Butch spread the rumors as Buttercup really ignored them, but he was hoping she would listen. But Buttercup never socialized herself with the people who helped spread the rumors or never really bothered to listen to them. Buttercup on the other hand went and tried to hang out with Ace, which ticked Butch off. Which didn't help the both of them as Butch was ready to kill Ace, hold Buttercup in his arms, and then yell at her for doing something like that.
Though the while neither one would tell each other about their feelings; hating the fact they were both stubborn in their ways. On top of that it didn't seem at the time to fall in love with each other as well. With Buttercup's sister, Blossom, who didn't like the Rowdyruffs only cause of they were evil. But that how would the town take it if they found out? Their fathers as well, they knew the risks but they still wanted each other response on the matter of love. Now that time has passed and no siblings for them to bother them or yell at them. It was time to have them put away their stubbornness for the first time and talk it out together.
The silence between them started to grow more as neither one could break the ice. Butch started to grow angry he was letting the silence eat at him; making his Buttercup feel more uncomfortable by the second. "Screw it!" Butch yelled at him in thought. Without any warning before Buttercup could realize what had happened. Butch leaned in closer to Buttercup's face smashing his lips onto hers, at first Buttercup was in complete awe. Butch waited until finally Buttercup returned the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck. Neither one wanted to let go of each other or let their lip separate from each other; but their lungs cried out for the air it needed. Slowly they began to drift their lips apart until it was only a few pecks on the lips. Buttercup and Butch's face were completely red; the kiss was loving and sweet. Butch took Buttercup setting them in a better position, Buttercup sat on Butch's lap as he wrapped a blanket around them. Then stroking her hair peacefully, Buttercup nuzzles close to him wrapping her arms around his waist. But before they could go to sleep a good night kiss to seal this perfect night, their lips touched again moving together perfectly. The love was there to back it up truly giving them the special spark between their kisses. Soon the two greens finally rested their eyes each of them holding onto each other. Butch had his head on her head while his arm protectively wrapped around her waist holding her close.
Soon morning came and it was a big day: Bunny had a test today; Mr. Utonium was going to take Buttercup and Butch to their sleeping site, and as well not spilling a new relationship between the greens. Bunny caught them sleeping together and no doubt that Robin will find out as soon as she hangs out with them. But for the sake for them to be undercover they had to keep it a secret so they won't get caught. Not that it was wrong but to society they fooled those thinking they were twins and people don't take too kindly to that type of stuff, even though it's a lie. After breakfast everyone was getting ready, Buttercup and Bunny took more time in the bathroom to get ready. It was like old times for Buttercup, when her sisters and she got ready for school. Buttercup would be brushing her teeth, Blossom was cleaning her face, and Bubbles would be doing everyone's hair. Bunny was enjoying Buttercup's company finally someone to talk about girl problems. Bunny was setting in purple contacts in her eyes; Buttercup smiled remembering the sister she and her sisters made when they were little.
"What you smiling about?" Bunny asked.
"Just a sister of mine," Buttercup replied, putting her hair in a short pony tail.
"Bubbles or Blossom?" Bunny questioned with a smile on her face.
"Neither, see one time when we were younger we hated all the crime fighting we had to do. We were so behind in work at school and having our own free time we made our own powerpuff. She wore purple just like you almost look like her. But she was heaver and unstable due to what we made her with, but with her just as powerful as us we made her do all the work," Buttercup sighed, "but then someone used her. She wasn't the brightest despite how many books Blossom put in; but we yelled at her for doing wrong. She ran away but soon the villains ganged up on us and she heard our cries; and just in time too. She rescued us but in the process she blew up and that was the end of her."
"Did my great granddad knew?" Bunny asked.
"No he didn't know about it we kept her a secret" Buttercup stated clearly.
"What was her name?"
"Hope Utonium, but Bubbles called her Bunny." Buttercup winked.
"I CAN BE YOUR SISTER!?" Bunny cried out in unbelief as Buttercup laughed.
"No you're not! Bubbles called her that because she wanted her to have a 'B' name like us. Ya know Blossom, Buttercup, Bubbles, and Bunny." Buttercup smiled.
"But then why's my names Bunny?!" Bunny said worriedly.
"I dunno ask Mr. Utonium, I mean 'Uncle' Utonium." Buttercup giggled putting a light shade of red lipstick on her lips.
"Daddy!" Bunny yelled, running out the door almost hitting Butch in the face with it as she made her way through.
Buttercup laughed as Butch caught his breath from the quickness when Bunny ran out as Buttercup walked out.
"Wanna tell me what's up?" Butch asked holding the door and leaning up against it.
"Remember Bunny?" Buttercup said as Butch shook his head. "I never told you about her?"
"Not that I know of; ya know we were made after her." Butch stated clearly as Buttercup nodded her head slowly in agreement.
Buttercup retold the story to Butch to catch him up to date or years, just as she finished Bunny ran up to Buttercup and Butch with a big relief smile. Bunny was so happy to tell her that her that her mother was also a Powerpuff fan girl. Bunny's mother favorite Powerpuff was Bunny only because she was a purple color and that she was made by the same three original. It was just luck that Bunny happened to like purple anyways. Butch asked if there was any fan for his group, but it was mostly the gangs and prisoners who liked them. Though that's what happens when you're on the bad side only the criminals are going to like you.
But time was running out as the three Utoniums and one Jojo were rushing out the door on their way. They all getting into Mr. Utonium's car, dropping Bunny off at school, and then heading to the place. Mr. Utonium wanted to hurry to the hide out so he could study it as quick possible. He couldn't wait to start experimenting with it to make a dream communicator with it. It was an opportunity of a life time, but he still had to mentally slap himself that they are still people. He parked at a local food market the rest of the way they had to walk. Buttercup and Butch could tell how excited Mr. Utonium was by the way he was rushing everyone. It was kind of nice for Buttercup to see Mr. Utonium like this; it brought memories of her father. When he got the chance to study something new he was always rushing out the door to do so. Sometimes rushing her and her sisters out of bed late at night to show off his finished work that would help them out; those were the days.
Once Butch and Buttercup were close to the base they started to fly off the ground making sure the place was cleared. But it still looked like how it was when they first left the place, Mr. Utonium was enjoying the architecture of the building. Butch took the lead as Buttercup flew next to Mr. Utonium hoping he moved a bit faster; and not looking at every detail of the place. But when Butch got to the window of their units someone was already here. Butch kicked down the door catching the attention of Buttercup and Mr. Utonium; running inside with Butch as Mr. Utonium came behind them.
"What's the deal Butch?" Buttercup asked, ready to fight looking around.
"Someone is here." Butch stated walking over to a small computer plugged in the containment unit. "Hey Professor; look at this."
Mr. Utonium walked over looking at the computer and started to break the codes to have full access of the small computer hand pad.
"Looks like someone was trying to make sure the units information was pulled from it." Mr. Utonium stated looking at the files.
"Well where ever they are they left in a rush." Buttercup stated looking around and spotted a silver strain of hair on the floor. "They were just here." Picking it off the floor and analyzing it.
"They're close I can smell them." Butch commented sniffing the air.
"Let's bring this home and find the owner of the hair and find the secrets of these units." Mr. Utonium suggested.
"Good idea." Butch said walking over and picking up the two units up with no problems what so ever as Mr. Utonium was messing around with the computer.
"Okay let's go." Buttercup said sensing someone powerful nearby, picking up Mr. Utonium and blasting out the top of the roof with Butch following behind.
As they did a pair of silver eyes glowing red with anger as she watched her work fly off, she couldn't risk herself being caught. But now she wasn't able to erase the units system, but this didn't affect her work as she flew out after making sure they were clear out of sight. She grinned at her evil plan that was coming into action and now with a proper challenge she was going to have fun. Even if they could find their siblings they wouldn't defeat her in time. Now it was time for her to make sure the blues were alright for when they find them to make the game more fun.
…
Bunny sat in class as she took notes, trying to ignore the passing notes being passed to her; telling her to go jump off a bridge. Robin, who sat next to her, took the notes that were piling on Bunny's desk and taking shots to the trash can when the teacher turned around. Soon the bell rang and it couldn't ring any faster as Bunny and Robin quickly rushed out so they wouldn't hear Princess and Mitch behind them. The only two who were passing those notes, it was their free period with Bunny's good grades and Robin cheating habits to be able to have such good grades with Bunny. They were able to have some free time since they were ahead of some of their classmates, so the two headed to the library to chill.
"No way! I knew it!" Robin cheered in excitement and then was shushed by the people in the library. "I know they were gonna hook up."
"But you gotta keep it a secret got it Rob, I promise Buttercup to keep it on the down low." Bunny hushed.
"Okay." Robin giggled, and then spotted Justin behind Bunny.
Justin was Bunny's elementary crush and still was; he was the smartest student in school and the hottest. He had dirty blonde hair that was cut in a cute military hairstyle and hazel eyes, wearing his father's dog tags around his neck; his lettermen jacket, he got for academics, a white t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and black sneakers. Robin smiled and moved her eyes up to signal someone was behind Bunny, she turned around then quickly back her face red.
"Girl, go talk to him!" Robin suggested.
"Rob you cray cray?!" Bunny hissed nervously not wanting Justin to over hear them.
"Come on I'll be right here besides," Robin smirked, "we sure don't want any green secrets to slip from these lips."
Bunny growled at her, "I hate you." Then got up from her seat as Robin giggled waving her friend luck talking to him.
Bunny took a deep breath and walked over to Justin trying to keep her shaky legs from shaking as he went up to him. Justin noticed her and gave passed her a smile that almost made her melt to the floor, she tried her best to pass a smile back.
"Hey Justin." Bunny greeted, placing her hand behind her back.
"Hey Bun-Bun, what's up?" Justin asked making Bunny almost have a heart attack. She knew he gave nicknames to everyone he knew in the school even if they didn't hang out much. But the way Justin always said her nickname; it was so sweet and loving.
"Oh nothing just came over to say hey and what's up." Bunny smiled, her legs shaking.
Justin noticed and placed the book in his hand back on the shelf; then placing his lettermen jacket on Bunny's shoulder. Then and there Bunny could have died happy to have Justin's jacket on her.
"Feeling warmer now?" Justin smiled, blushing a bit too.
"Yes, thank you Justin." Bunny said, looking down at her feet and twirling her hair in her finger.
"How was your weekend?" Justin asked, trying not to show his nervousness towards Bunny and keeping his racing heart down.
"It was great; I have some relatives who will be staying at my place now." Bunny said wrapping herself in Justin's jacket.
"Wow that's awesome maybe I could come over and meet them one day." Justin offered and Bunny quickly nodded her head.
"You could come over tonight for dinner." Bunny stated to eagerly.
"Great!" Justin smiled his face glowed. "What time should I come?"
"You could walk with me after school?" Bunny smiled.
"Great I'll see you then." Justin smiled and then heard his teacher calling him and his classmates to the door. "Well I'll see you later then."
"What about your jacket?" Bunny asked about to take it off.
"Nah you wear it my next class rooms are gonna be hot, besides you look like you could use it." Justin blushed and then met up with the rest of his class mates.
Bunny stood there watching him leave with her head in the clouds as Robin walked behind her; hugging her friend.
"I knew you could do it girl!" Robin happily said.
"He's coming over tonight…" Bunny sighed with a big smile on her face.
"He so got a major crush on ya! But if you two weren't shy as a turtle you two would have already been together." Robin stated.
"Oh shut up!" Bunny said rolling her eyes as she stuck her hands in the jacket's pockets feeling a piece of paper. Taking the paper out and opening the paper up it was a poem; but before she could read it Robin quickly took it out of her hands.
"OMG! A love poem! I gotta read!" Robin cheerfully said clearing her throat. "You are my reason to wake up every morning, your beauty match no other. Your gleaming eyes transforming into gradient purple colors always take my breath away. The way you walk with confident makes me think I could never match your standards. But I'll be your brave knight to rescue you from the evil dragon, for you are my princess; my love Bunny."
Bunny blushed and started to giggled uncontroably with a big family on her face, as Robin laughed at the poem but knowing it meant a lot to Bunny.
"Well he's cute but I think he shouldn't write poems they're kind of sappy." Robin smiled as Bunny snatched the paper out of her hand.
"Oh Justin is just perfect!" Bunny sighed rereading it. "Besides he wrote better poems than this he was probably still working on it."
"Oh like you are for him?" Robin giggled as Bunny playfully hit her.
"Shut up!" Bunny blushed folding the paper back and placing it back in the jacket's pocket.
…
"So anything of whom the hair belonged too or why they were there?" Buttercup asked.
"No, none of the DNA is matching anyone in my data base, but thanks to whoever was there I can quickly start on the helmets." Mr. Utonium smiled.
"Really?" Butch questioned, surprised.
"Yes this little computer placed everything in a neat file while it was taking the records and programing off of the units. I can easily make a dream portal to open up to the other units and not cause any permit damage to the ruff or puff inside." Mr. Utonium stated.
"Awesome!" Butch and Buttercup shouted.
"When can you have it done by?" Butch asked eagerly.
"Tomorrow morning thanks to super advance tech of the future nothing will take long; also helps that we are dealing with very outdated tech that it won't be a problem." Mr. Utonium stated.
"Terrific! I can't wait to see Blossom and Bubbles soon again!" Buttercup smiled.
"I know; Boomer is in a long overdue for a pounding!" Butch grinned, clinching his fist. "Also a rematch with Brick as well!"
"Hey I'm home!"
"I'm going to be late for dinner, so order takes out if you like." Mr. Utonium smiled and started working with the helmet.
Butch and Buttercup started to float up their way from his lap and then quickly landed on the floor when they noticed Justin looking around. Butch fixed his clothes while Buttercup fixed her messy flying hair, wanting to look somewhat normal for Bunny's sake. Bunny gave Buttercup a soft smile hoping her to help out. Buttercup took the hint as Butch fell clueless and just followed along as Buttercup walked up to Justin and shook his hand.
"Hello you must be Bunny's twin cousins Lucy and Al right?" Justin smiled shaking Buttercup's hand and then Butch.
"Hey, any friend of my cus is a friend of mine." Butch said and then placed his hands in his pockets.
"Where is my dad?" Bunny asked.
"Down in the basement 'working'" Buttercup blinked and Bunny nodded.
After Buttercup filled Bunny in, pizza and Italian ice was on its way from Slice and Ice best pizza place ever. The four of them were just hanging around the living room and letting Justin getting to know Buttercup and Butch. He never knew that she had distance relatives that were twins, then hearing another set of her distance relatives will be coming soon. But Butch and Buttercup could tell he was mostly here to see Bunny, they could sense the romance connection between the two. So they did their best to give the two love birds some alone time and even giving themselves some time together alone. But once the pizza and ice came they continued to enjoy each other's company as it was a chance for Bunny and Justin to get to know each other on another base. But by the time it was for bed Justin and Bunny hanged outside talking to each other. Bunny told him about the letter she found which made him beyond embarrassed that he left it in there. Then soon was followed by a laughter from the two, Butch and Buttercup watched them from the roof.
"Well I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Justin smiled nervously.
"Totally maybe we can do a study date?" Bunny suggested.
"Sounds great, well I gotta get going before my mom starts getting worried." Justin said, placing his hands in his pockets hiding his shaky hands.
"Okay, night Justin." Bunny smiled.
"Night Bun-Bun." Justin smiled back and headed for home.
Once the coast was cleared Buttercup and Butch floated beside her with playful smirks.
"Bun-Bun?" Butch chuckled causing Bunny to blush.
"You gotta tell me what's between you too, it's only fair." Buttercup smirked.
"Okay okay." Bunny giggled with the two greens.
