REVIEWS:

KeroNya—Yea, but don't worry. . .it gets better. ^.^

its meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-I don't like it either, but I'm grateful for each one I get. And thank you.

clueless c—I think cliffhangers are fair if I want to ensure people keep reading! . Don't hurt meeee! And I'm sorry, but neither of your guesses are right. You'll find out who the voice is next chapter, and who the wife is going to be in probably a later chapter or in a different story. . Possibly in the Cinderella Universe Christmas Story, if I ever get around to writing it and posting it!

Bubblycutie—Don't worry, you'll see Bubbles soon! Just not at her peak condition, though.

Juliebaby—Well, that all depends now on where my fingers take me. Because I can plan one thing and have my fingers type another!

And special thanks to:

Chapter 08

"Hello, boys."

"You!" Brick and Boomer chorused as they jumped to their feet. Butch merely sent a glare at the newcomer.

"Now, now, boys, why the hostility?"

"Oh, I'll show you hostility! Get—"

"BRICK, SIT DOWN!" Him screeched. Brick sat, a glare settling on his features that quickly shifted from the devil to the newcomer. "So, where are your girls?" Him asked. Boogie raised an eyebrow.

"Which ones? I do own several strip bars, you know," the creature replied, settling on the empty couch across from them. Him placed an irritated smile on His face.

"I mean, where are your lovely daughters this evening? Whenever you're at an event, they're normally at your side."

"Two of them will be joining us shortly, the third will later on in the night." A woman wearing nothing but an orange and blue heart thong walked up to Boogie and whispered in his ear, her bare chest pressing up against his shoulder while her gold chandelier earrings brushed against his neck. The monster gave an eerie grin and slapped the stripper's ass cheek as she walked away. She growled seductively in response, sashaying her hips as she passed the bar. "Speak of the devils, my girls have just arrived." As Boogie said this, a white skinned woman with hair alive like black snakes sauntered behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck as her one piece catsuit pushed her breasts up.

"I missed you," Sedusa purred into Boogie's ear, missing the smile he forced onto his face.

"Hello my dear," he greeted, and immediately turned in his seat to look past her. "And where are the girls?" he asked. Before Sedusa could reply, a voice came from above.

"We're here, Papa." Blossom and Buttercup gently landed next to the VIP ropes and headed for their father.

"Good evening, Blossom, Buttercup." Butch's head snapped up, staring incredulously.

"Hello father," Buttercup greeted. Butch took the time of Buttercup passing by him to get to Boogie to get a good look at her.

The blackette wore a slinky emerald green minidress. The loose fabric of the neck dipped down to her navel, showing off a barbelled belly piercing, the skimpy material barely covering the tips of her braless breasts as it attached to the loose fabric in back by two gleaming metal rings. The dress was so short that, as she moved past him to take a seat on the couch next to her father, Butch was given an clear view of her ass and the hint of a rainbow leopard print thong. Her black heels brought her a few inches off the ground with at least seven straps keeping them attached to her feet. Her hair was swept up into a half bun that collected most of her hair in a tight embrace, the rest cascading down her back. She hugged her father and gave him a kiss on his cheek, similar to what Sedusa had done earlier but with less purr.

Blossom wore a fire engine red dress dusted with dark rubies. It was a mere few inches longer than Buttercup's dress. Hers was a stretched satin, which accentuated her curves whenever she moved. There were strategically placed cutouts, leaving her shoulders, cleavage, and ribs bare, while covering basically everything else. The dress swarmed her neck with a high collar, covering almost over half of her throat. Silver hooped earrings sparkled against her red mane, and a pair of no heel, knee length black leather boots adorned her feet. They were decorated with two buckles, one near her knee and the other by her heel. Butch noticed how his redheaded brother couldn't keep his eyes off of her.

Butch, however, quickly snapped his attention to Buttercup and had to restrain himself from jumping out of his seat.

"Are you alright? In any pain? How did you survive that? Normal people wouldn't have survived—"

"I'm not normal, now, am I?" the female blackette interrupted. Butch was suddenly in her face and practically groping her as he checked her for injuries. "Father!" she pleaded to Boogie. The monster gave a chuckle as Butch forced her off the couch to check her back.

"Be nice, Buttercup," he responded as Sedusa melted into his side. Buttercup suddenly found Butch hugging her. After a few seconds, the Rowdy let her go and both were pink as they turned from each other.

"Well, that was a little awkward," Buttercup mumbled. Boogie laughed at the uncharacteristic shyness of one daughter and turned his attention to the other, who kept thanking the red haired Rowdy for his generosity earlier that day. Blossom was flushed in her cheeks, seemingly making her male counterpart uncomfortable.

"Where's Bubbles?" Boomer suddenly asked. His brothers' attentions were suddenly on him and the two girls looked at him as well. It was Buttercup who replied.

"She got caught up with something. She should be here in no more than an hour, though." The blonde nodded and fell silent. Buttercup sat on the couch again next to her father. Before she could stop him, Butch made himself comfortable next to her. She opened her mouth, her temper starting to kick in, when her father spoke. She snapped her mouth shut.

"So, how do you all know each other?" he asked as Sedusa started to play with his horns. He lightly slapped her hands away, but she brought them back to his horns, not getting the hint.

"We know each other through school," Blossom offered, settling further into the other side of the couch, trying to not let Sedusa touch her.

"Butch here was the one to slam me into the wall," Buttercup added. Boogie gave a frown and looked over her sunglasses at the boy.

"You were the one who dumped flour all over me and then ran!" Butch defended. The two suddenly got into a verbal spat that lasted for a few minutes, blocking out everyone else. They were easily interrupted, however, when Bubbles crashed through the ceiling to land at their feet in a bloodied mess.

"What was that you said earlier about relaxing?" Butch asked his redheaded brother as they and Boomer got to their feet. Buttercup and Blossom launched themselves at their sister, their hands clenching hers as their powers started to heal her. Boogie got to his feet, Sedusa huddling in a panic on the couch as large monsters appeared from their various positions around the club to surround Boogie in a protective ring.

A teen around the same age as the girls and the Rowdy's appeared in the hole Bubbles made. Her hair, thought it was red, paled in color next to Blossom's, and she wore a yellow armored bodysuit equipped with gold boots, light blue rings appearing beneath her feet, evidence of her method of flight.

"Princess!" Buttercup snarled out after she looked up from her blonde sister. The levitating redhead merely laughed.

"I caught this slut heading home. She should be more careful!" Princess' annoying lilt rang out, the music in the club dying out as the patrons and dancers were led out to safety. "Oh, do believe me. I will love killing each and every one of you for not letting me be one of you!"

"Now, now, Ms. Morebucks, you really don't want to be one of my girls. You'd never be a daughter, so you would only end up getting used and then tossed away after a while. I don't think you'd want—" Princess lifted her hand and a red laser shot from her palm, hitting Boogie in the shoulder, cutting his words off. He crumbled to the ground, holding his shoulder as his bodyguards sprung into action and formed a protective shell around him.

"Stop telling me lies!" Princess shrieked, powering up another laser to throw at him. A growl brought the redhead's attention to Bubbles and her two sisters to find only the blonde and redhead were there, Blossom ignoring Princess' presence. "Hey! Pay attention to—" A fist appeared in a green blur and slammed into her jaw, effectively shutting her up and shooting her out of the air. The spoiled redhead hit the ground hard, and before she could gain her breath back, a pair of knees dug into her ribs. She was suddenly getting punched in the face and after a few agonizing seconds, Princess felt heated eye lasers lacerate her skin. She let out a scream and Buttercup was suddenly pulled off her.

"Don't you DARE try to hurt my family again, bitch! I should kill you right now!" the blackette snarled as she struggled in her father's bodyguard's grasps.

"Boys, grab her. Hold her down," Him hissed to the Rowdy's as Buttercup was dragged away. Before the trio of brothers could act, Princess shot into the air and left, with a promise that she would be back, and next time, she would kill everyone. Buttercup snarled once more and she broke free to go after the spoiled brat. Butch was halfway to her before he realized he had reacted, and Blossom's words rang out in the silencing club.

"Buttercup! Bubbles isn't stabilizing! We need you!" the red head screamed. Buttercup froze in midair and, before anyone could blink, she was a green blur to get to her sisters, landing next to the blonde and taking her hand. Butch stayed near the hole Princess escaped out of and called back down at the girls.

"I'll find her for you, and bring her back for you to pass judgment," Butch declared. Buttercup looked up at him and gave him a small smile. The black haired Rowdy vanished before anyone could stop him.

"Hot headed, as always," Brick growled as he took after his brother, Boomer close behind him. "We'll help him, so he doesn't get pounded," he continued.

"We'll be back!" Boomer cheered and they disappeared after their brother.

Boogie and Him talked in low voices as they monster approached his quickly exhausting daughters. Blossom was already passed out on her blonde sister's stomach, and Buttercup was tiring fast. Their efforts weren't in vain, though. Bubbles' breathing had returned back to normal and some of her deeper wounds became like shallow cuts. Boogie gave a sneer through his pain, his shoulder still bleeding, his hand holding constant pressure.

"Can you help me?" he asked the red devil. Him, without giving verbal consent, lifted his claw and red energy surrounded the three girls, lifting them off the ground. Buttercup finally slumped forward in unconsciousness. The three then disappeared in the red light, Him disappearing with them, leaving Boogie, his bodyguards, and Sedusa in the club.
