I've given up on the conversation thing, they're just boring and dumb. Oh, don't lie, you know they were boring and dumb too!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except for Blade, Brittany, Danny, Brianna, and Blake. You can use them in your stories, because well, I honestly don't care :P
Chapter 9
Haunted House
"Hey, you gonna answer us or not? What. Plan?" Dexter asked, losing his patience.
Blade tried to think of something, "the plan to…" 'To get you out of the way so our parents can get together!' Like I could say that! "Um…" Blade trailed off.
"To get you out of the way so our parents can get together!" Brianna said cheerfully, and as soon as she said it everyone turned on her.
"BRIANNA!"
Boomer used to have the same habit as a kid. He would read someone's mind then blurt it out unknowingly. He didn't get over it until he was ten.
"Excuse me?" Dexter asked.
"Nothing, nothing…" Brittany answered as she waved her hands in a "you're mistaken" kind of way.
Dexter walked off, but not before giving them a suspicious glance.
"I heard you perfectly." Danny said as he glared at them.
Shoot, I forgot about Dorky… Blade thought. "What are you talking about, Danny?"
"Ok, now I know for sure something's up. Well, for one thing, she blurted it out, but my dad didn't hear. And second, you didn't call me Dorky."
"Oh, so you want me to call you Dorky, Dorky." Blade smirked.
"NO! It's Danny! ... in any case…I heard what she said, and I'll do everything I can to stop you. I might have not been able to get Brittany…" Danny trailed off.
Blade unconsciously put an arm around Brittany as if saying, "get-away-from-her-or-I'll-make-sure-you-suffer"
"But, I'll atleast help my dad get Blossom." Danny finished as he followed his dad.
When he left, Blake said, "I hate him."
"Me too." Blade agreed.
Plan B: The Haunted House
"Ok, so here's how it goes down. Me and Brittany will give out candy and collect money from people at the end of the haunted house, while you guys work together to scare the shit out of people." Blade said, simply, pointing to the person who he was talking about.
"What haunted house?" Brianna asked.
"The one that we make, duh." Blade answered bluntly.
"Oh, joy, making scary things." Brianna muttered.
"Oh, joy, making scary things!" Blake yelled with enthusiasm.
Brianna slapped her forehead.
They walked into the same store as before, but they didn't bother with the big trench coat.
"Excuse me sir, but where is all the Halloween stuff?" Blade asked.
"Aisle 2."
"… Where's Aisle 2?"
"The Aisle with a big 2 above it." he answered, without looking up from his comic books.
Blade scowled, but walked to Aisle 2 anyway.
"Are you sure it's here?" he asked.
"No."
"Why you little—" Blake started as he rolled up his sleeves.
"Calm down Blake." Brianna said as she put a hand on his shoulder.
Blake humphed and followed Brittany, who seemed to have found the Halloween stuff.
Brittany grabbed a mask. It was a vampire, and put it up to her face to try and scare Blake.
"BOO!" she yelled as she pushed on his shoulders.
Blake turned around. "Ya, like that would scare me."
Brianna smiled happily when she found what she wanted to be for Halloween: a Barbie doll. But, the mask was just plain creepy with that weird smile that never goes away.
"Hi, Ken!" she yelled as Blake paled when he turned behind him and ran off to find someone to hold onto, screaming in the process.
"BRIANNA! Don't do that! Those things are creepy." Blake yelled, waving an accusing finger at her while he was still in Blade's arms and holding on tight.
"Sissy." Blade stated, snickering slightly.
"I'M NOT A SISSY! YOU'RE A SISSY!" Blake yelled back waving his arms around. At that point Blade had dropped him on the floor. Well, let's just say it wasn't very gentle since it left an imprint in the floor. Blake got up and glared.
"All right, all right." Blade answered, waving his arm in surrender. "Ooh! Spiders, we could use these."
"This too!" Brittany exclaimed as she reached as high as she could for some jar of fake blood.
"Guys, this stuff ain't gonna scare our parents… It might scare Bubbles, but it won't scare Blossom, Brick, my parents, or Boomer." Blake stated, as if they were idiots.
"Yes, yes we realize that Blake. That's why we read their minds to find their deepest darkest fear." Blade said evilly.
"Oh? And what would that be, Blade, my brother? By the way, are you considered my brother?"
"No, dumbass, I'm your cousin." Blade answered.
"-gasp-! But, then that means you and Brittany are siblings! SCANDALOUS—"
Blade interrupted Blake before he could finish, "And their greatest fears are:
Buttercup: spiders and losing her sisters
Butch: scorpions and losing his brothers
Bubbles: blood, all arachnids, bugs, namely cockroaches, and losing her sisters/being alone, and ghosts
Boomer: losing his brothers, sharp objects
Blossom: losing her sisters, the inability to protect Townsville, and caterpillars/worms, and ghosts
Brick: losing to Dexter, losing his brothers, losing Blossom, and lizards
And that's their biggest fears."
"Oh, lord. Then they'll never fall for this cheap stuff!" Blake yelled loudly. The clerk looked over and glared. Blake sneered back.
"Actually, I think this spider might scare Buttercup." Brittany said, holding up the fake spiders.
"Let's test it." Blade said as he took a spider and held it up to Blake's face while he was still making faces at the clerk.
"AHHH!" he screamed as he jumped into the nearest person's arms again, which happened to be Brittany's.
Brittany didn't hesitate to drop him on the floor though.
"Sweet, let's get 4 tubs of those fake bugs and spiders." Blade said simply, not bothering to care about his green cousin on the ground.
"God, what is it today? 'pick-on/scare/drop-Blake-on-the-floor-day'?" Blake asked angrily as he tried to get back on his feet.
"Well, at least we know these'll work." Blade said, picking up the tub of fake bugs and spiders and blood.
"Hey, wait! We need costumes!" Blake yelled as he ran off into the costume aisle.
Brianna squealed with delight and followed.
Blade and Brittany shook their heads at their over-enthusiasm but ran after them anyway.
Brianna quickly grabbed a princess costume.
"No, no, no, Brianna! It has to be scary!" Blake searched for a minute and picked up a costume, "like this!" He exclaimed as he picked up a costume for a corpse bride.
Brianna took it into her hands and walked over to the fitting room.
She came out and looked in the mirror. "I don't know, Blake, I don't think it looks that great on me."
"Well, then how do I look?" Brittany asked as she came out as a pirate.
"Brittany, I think that's too tight…" Blade said.
"What makes you say that?" Brittany asked.
The costume was a red and white striped strapless shirt that was low-cut and it stopped above her belly button with black fishnets on her arms and legs and short shorts. Overall, it was really revealing.
"I think she looks hot." Blake said flatly. Blade laughed as he punched him as if he were joking, but Blake went flying into the wall. "God, man, I would never take your woman! Geez…" Blake muttered, as he rubbed his head.
"You're not wearing that in front of Dorky." Blade proclaimed, walking up to Brittany.
"Why not?" she asked, as she blinked twice.
"'Why not'? Why not? Because he'll be ogling you the whole time!" Blade yelled throwing his hands into the air.
"You think so?" Brittany asked spinning around in the costume.
"Yes." Blade said, refusing to ogle at Brittany's revealing costume, since he stated that Dorky would do that.
"All right, fine, I'll get a different pirate cosume." Brittany said as she walked around and picked a costume then returned to the fitting room.
"TA-DA!" Brittany exclaimed.
The costume she was wearing now was a lot better. She was still a pirate, but she had a pirate hat that even rivaled Jack Sparrows. She wore a white long sleeve shirt with a red vest over it with black pants and black boots. In short, it looked like Elizabeth Swan when she was in her pirate garb.
"Better, much better." Blade said.
"I still think she looked hotter in the other one…" Blake muttered, but Blade caught that and once again, he "jokingly" punched Blake and he went flying into the wall.
"You have to get a costume too!" Brittany said excitedly. "Oh! I know! Since I'm Elizabeth Swan, you should be like Orlando Bloom!"
"You mean Will Turner?" Blake asked. He was punched into the wall again, but by Brittany.
Blade shrugged and walked over to the costume that said "WILL TURNER" on it and walked into the fitting room.
He came back in a white long sleeve shirt, but it was covered by a dark green over coat that was unbuttoned, and a belt around the shirt, black pants, and black boots. Oh, yeah, he also had a moustache.
Blade pulled at the shirt a little. "Does this really look like Will Turner?" he asked.
Brittany didn't answer though, since she and Brianna had already glomped him, rubbing their faces against his arm as they murmured things like, "Orlando Bloom", "hotness", and other things like that.
Blake watched. "I think I should be Orlando Bloom."
Brittany and Brianna shot a glare at him. "NO!"
"F-fine…" Blake mumbled as he walked around.
"I think you should wear this!" Brianna exclaimed excitedly, holding out a corpse groom costume.
"Why?" Blake asked as he surveyed the costume in Brianna's hands
"So you can match with me, silly willy!" Brianna exclaimed.
"All right, fine," Blake walked into the fitting room then came out in the corpse groom costume. It actually suited him. If he weren't covered in blood with ripped clothes, he would actually look dignified.
"We have all of our costumes, yes?" Blade asked.
"Yes." They all said together.
"Then, let's go!" Blade yelled, throwing his fist into the air.
"OH!" they yelled as they threw their fist into the air too.
They went to the cash register, the guy looked up from his comic books and frowned at the sight of 4 little kids, but shook it off and scanned the items.
"413 dollars and 72 cents."
Blade's mouth dropped open. "Hey, isn't that a little much for 4 small costumes, a few tubs of blood, spiders, and bugs?" Blade asked, slamming his hands on the counter, trying to look scary.
"Look, kid, the costumes are like 50 dollars each, so that's like…" The guy stopped to count on his fingers. "Like, 300…"
"200." Blade and Brittany corrected.
The guy at the counter continued as if he hadn't heard them. "The fake blood is 19.99, fake bugs and spiders are 19.95, and you got like 4 tubs of each, plus tax which is 15 percent, so I'd say 413.72 is pretty reasonable." the guy said, also putting his hands on the table, trying to scare Blade with his glare.
Blade's eyebrow twitched.
The guy showed no fear.
He growled. "Fine." Blade grumbled. "Then…" he reached into his pocket, then quickly grabbed the bag of supplies. "I'LL DO THIS THE ROWDYRUFF WAY!" he yelled as he quickly flew out the door, the other 3 following suit.
They all laughed as they watched from about 60 ft above while the guy from the counter ran out and looked frantically.
Blade and Blake laughed maniacally, high-fiving each other, while the two puff/ruff girls eyed them as if they were one of the most stupid life forms on earth, which they probably are.
"Well, guys, let's get started!"
3 hours later…
"Blake, get off your butt and help us." Blade ordered, glaring at the green boy.
"I am helping." Blake answered, not getting up still.
"In what way!?" Brittany yelled as she had her hands on her hips, glaring at the boy.
Blade joined in and glared at Blake.
"What?" Blake looked completely relaxed, sitting on his butt in the grass, laying back with some lemonade with a straw in his hand.
Blade shook his head at Blake and continued working. After about 3 hours and 46 minutes, they finally finished the haunted house. They had gathered some items like lights that flashed, so it kinda messed up your vision a little, they found some cloth things to act as doorways, of course, Blake found a chain saw to scare people, no not a fake chainsaw, a real one. Let's just hope he doesn't hurt himself. Blade had decided to give out tickets with Brittany to make money for "the children around the world" (meaning them), along with giving out candy to little kids when they reached the end. And, Brianna was scaring people with Blake.
At last, they had finished it and since it was October, night fell pretty quickly, and people lined up to get in at 6:30.
"I heard this haunted house thing was scary!" some people whispered.
"I heard it was so scary that you had to have a partner to go in or you might have a heart attack and you'd have to sign release forms!" another whispered.
"I heard some kid is using a real chainsaw!"
"Thank you, come again." Blade said from the exit.
"Oh-ho, thank you." Blade repeated as some person dropped a 10 dollar bill in the jar.
"Here you go, sweetie." Brittany said as she placed a handful of candy in a person's bag of candy.
"Wow, Blade, who would've thought you'd make so much money in only 15 minutes?" Brick said pointing at the jar of money.
"Oh, we have more." Blade stated as he pulled about 5 more jars out, all full of money.
Butch and Buttercup's mouths dropped open. "What's that? Kiddies are treating us out for dinner?" Buttercup asked as she cupped her ear.
"Yes, Butterbutt, I think so." Butch answered as they walked away to find Bubbles and Boomer.
"Wow, I guess we'll have to try the haunted house, huh, Blossom?" Brick asked, turning to her.
"Ya, I guess so, what do you think Dexter?" Blossom asked, turning to Dexter.
Brick glared. "I think it would be a fine idea, Blossom." Dexter stated.
"Oh, sorry, you can only go in in pairs, it wouldn't be as scary if there are 3 going in at once would it?" Blade said simply, trying to get Dexter away from his mother.
"Oh." Blossom said. "Well, let's go in then." Blossom stated, smiling at Dexter.
Dexter smirked and Brick's mouth dropped open. "Where do you think you're going?" a voice asked from behind.
Dexter's face paled as he grimaced and cursed. "Nowhere, honey, I guess we're going in then, huh? Oh, but what about Danny, we can't just leave him alone!" Dexter stated, still trying to be partners with Blossom.
"Oh, we'll make exceptions for toddlers." Blade stated, smirking at Dexter as he winked at his dad.
Brick looked at his 3 year old son, puzzled, but shook it off, while Dexter's face twisted as he was lead inside by his "wife" and son.
"I guess I'm stuck with you then, huh?" Blossom asked, looking away.
Brick's eyebrows furrowed.
Blade read his mind to see what he was going to say. What's that supposed to mean? If you're going to say something like that, go in alone for all I care.
Blade's eyes widened, "Mom, dad, go on in, I'm sure it'll be fun!"
Blossom looked down at the boy. Her expression softened and she held out her arm for Brick to take a hold of. Brick linked arms with her as they walked in.
"Make sure not to squeeze my arm off while we're in here, Blossom." Brick stated, smirking a little.
Blossom glared, "Same to you, Brick."
"Admit it, you're going to be screaming things like 'AHHH! SAVE ME BRICK!' Yup, you'll definitely say something like that." Brick stated, feigning a high voice to sound like a girl.
Brick looked at the doors in front of him and picked the medium scary door, not wanting to scare Blossom too much.
Blossom's eyebrow twitched. "I will not—" Blossom turned as she felt something on her shoulder. She looked over and was surprised to see a ghost's hand. Her eyes widened as her irises shrank.
"AHHH!" Blossom screamed as she hugged Brick completely rather than just his arm.
"UWAH!" Brick exclaimed, surprised to see Blossom hugging him for dear life, "You will not what?" Brick asked, mocking her.
Blossom's eyebrow twitched as she pulled away, blushing in embarrassment.
Brick shook his head. "Now, see, I will not be like you and be freaked out by everything around… here…" Brick froze as he looked at the ground. There were lizards everywhere. Brick held his breath, then started shaking, trying not to let out a huge scream.
"Brick? What's wrong with you?" Blossom asked as she noticed how awkwardly he was suddenly walking. She looked over. He was walking very stiffly with his eyes looking up, not wanting to look down at the floor of lizards, he was stepping very lightly, and his hair was sticking out as if he were freaked out by something.
Blossom looked down. "You're afraid of lizards?" Blossom asked as she bent down and picked one up. "Here, they're fa—"
"AHHH! Get that away from me!" Brick exclaimed, flying up to the ceiling.
Blossom blinked, then started to giggle, then full-on laughed. "Who would've thought the great and almighty Brick would be afraid of something like lizards!"
Brick got back down and blushed furiously.
Blossom stopped laughing. "C'mon, let's just get out of this room." Blossom said as she held out a hand for him.
Brick smiled a small smile and took Blossom's hand and was lead to the next room.
"Ok, we're even, we were both scared senseless, no more laughing, ok?" Blossom asked, laughing a little.
"Ok, ok." Brick said, smiling. He opened the door to the next room to find it completely empty.
Blossom cocked her head to the side. "That's weird." she walked in then felt her foot step on a switch. She looked down at where her foot was and found the floor pushed in a little bit more than the rest. She looked up and a whole bunch of fake caterpillars and worms fell from the ceiling and landed in her hair. "AIIIIIIAHHHHH!" Blossom screamed as she quickly ran out, crashing into Brick, as he let out a grunt in trying to catch her. She was breathing deeply as she felt something move in her hair. Her face paled. "Get it off, get it off, get it off!"
"Calm down, I am!" Brick shouted as he got the fake bugs all out of her head.
Blossom started to calm down. "Never again, I'm never going in here again!" Blossom exclaimed as they reached the exit.
Blade coughed and pointed to the jar. Brick scowled, but he dropped 2 dollars in anyway.
"Buttercup, Bubbles, don't go in there, it was so scary!" Blossom exclaimed to her sisters and then walked away with Brick to get back to the house.
"Sounds like fun, huh, Boomie! Let's go in!" Bubbles exclaimed as she grabbed Boomer's hand.
Boomer decided not to argue with the fact that she didn't listen to him when he told her to stop calling him that and followed anyway.
"Sounds interesting! Let's go, Butterbutt!" Butch exclaimed, grabbing Buttercup's arm.
Buttercup smirked. "Don't scream like a girl, Butchie!" Buttercup exclaimed as they ran over to the entrance.
"Kay, let's go, Buttercup," Bubbles exclaimed as she started to walk in.
"Whoa, wait. I don't want to be with Boomer, he'll be screaming the whole time." Butch stated bluntly.
Boomer turned to glare at him. "Whatever, Butch, you just want to be with your little girlfriend." Boomer stated, crossing his arms with his eyes closed as he smiled a little knowing the way his brother would react.
Butch's face turned red from either anger or embarrassment. "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Butch yelled in Boomer's face as Buttercup turned around and rose an eyebrow. Butch looked up to see her face and waved innocently.
Boomer smirked and grabbed an unsuspecting Bubbles' elbow and walked inside, leaving the two greens alone.
"What? HEY! Blue boy! Don't kidnap Bubbles and leave me with him!" Buttercup shouted, trying to get the two's attention. She pouted when she realized that she couldn't.
"BOOMER YOU BASTARD!" Butch shouted, his hands cupping his mouth in hopes of making his voice louder. He cursed to himself when he could no longer see them. He sighed and turned to Buttercup. "Let's go in."
"All right Butch, but no screaming got it?" Buttercup stated, walking in.
Butch's eyebrow twitched in annoyance but he followed her in anyway, trying to put his arm around Buttercup, which gave him a pinched hand.
Boomer walked in with Bubbles, it looked like she was trying to look brave, but Boomer saw right through her, seeing the way she occasionally shivered and squeezed his arm a little tighter. He wasn't complaining though, mind you. It was just he thought it was completely silly that sweet innocent Bubbles, probably the worst liar in the world was trying to lie to him, Boomer, her male counterpart. Now, a normal person would say something probably sweet like, "Don't worry about it I'll protect you," or something equally cliché, but this was Boomer, not exactly normal. So it shouldn't surprise you if he says something like this:
"You're a horrible liar, probably the worst in the whole world. I'm not stupid, I know you're scared, so just freaking calm down, and let it out, it's not like I'll laugh at a girl who's scared." Boomer stated bluntly.
Bubbles blinked. "Oh… then… ok." Bubbles stopped walking awkwardly and had a more cautious expression on her face as she glanced every so often at the smallest noise or sign of movement, and when she suspected that there really was something there, she would unconsciously squeeze Boomer's arm. Boomer looked down at the girl, wow, she really is scared, maybe I should—
Hey, man, that wouldn't be very nice.
What are you talking about? Boomer asked in his thoughts
Oh, don't play dumb with me, I know what you were going to do, you were going to scare her.
Don't be stupid, that's only something that you would do, Butch.
I'm not Butch, I'm your conscience, I just happen to look like that handsome devil Butch.
No answer.
Man, I hate coaching people like you.
Still no answer.
Fine, fine, I get the idea. You want to be alone with your little girlfriend.
She's not my—
Oh, so you talk when that little bunny is involved.
Her name is Bubbles.
Oh? You remembered a girl's name for once? Wow what a surprise.
What are you talking about? I remember a billion girls' names.
Oh, yeah? What was the name of the girl who asked you out earlier this morning?
That's an easy one! It was… Um… It was… Uh… This isn't even important—
See, I told you. Her name was Tootie, by the way.
Tootie! That's what it was.
Uh-huh. Later, and good luck with Berry.
Bubbles.
Whatever.
After breaking away from talking to his Butch-conscience, he stared down at Bubbles. She was still slightly trembling. How can she tremble so much? I mean, we went to the blue door, the least scary one.
Hey, be nice to Bonnie.
BUBBLES!
Whatever.
Geez, and you say I'm forgetful. Just because I forgot Terry's name—
Tootie.
Same difference!
"Boomer?"
Boomer snapped out of his thoughts, "What?" He asked, turning down to her.
"Why are you cursing to yourself… and Butch?" Bubbles asked, blinking up at him.
Boomer blushed in embarrassment. "Well, um, you see—" Boomer stopped when he saw something in front of him.
Bubbles looked at the expression on his face then looked over at what he was staring at. There was a very small corpse bride with black hair draped over her face covering her face and her movements were so strange as if she were struggling with a burden on her back, but there was nothing on her back, it was just a small corpse bride, lumbering towards them. The dress she was wearing was torn in many places and had red steins that looked like blood. She carried two sharp looking Japanese style swords. Bubbles was already very terrified at looking at the girl herself, while Boomer didn't focus on the girl, rather on the swords in the girl's hands. The girl moved her head up, her hair moving aside as a pale looking girl with grey eyes stared at the two with a dead look. A smirk graced its lips as the girl pointed the tip of the sword at Boomer.
Boomer's breath got very shallow as he stared at the small girl in front of him, a smirk still dancing on her lips as he continued to stare, frozen, not answering Bubbles as she suggested that they run away. The girl continued to grin as she brought the sword even closer to his face. Only when the blade was so close to his nose did he decide that it was time that he ran away, leaving Bubbles behind. Immediately, Bubbles ran after him, making sure not to be left alone with the corpse bride.
Bubbles ran, and ran, and ran, but she just couldn't catch up with the blue Rowdyruff. A few tears fell as she realized that she was alone. She glanced around her, thinking that this haunted house may have gone a little too far. She gulped. She refused to give up though and went off to find Boomer. She decided to fly and find him and found him alone in a room.
Boomer had his knees up to his chin, his arms wrapped protectively around his knees with his face buried in his arms, his shoulders shaking as if he were crying and trembling. The sight tore Bubbles apart. She always saw Boomer as a boy who had a very tall and strong wall of defense, but she never imagined seeing such a vulnerable boy. She walked up to him. "Boomer." she said his name, trying to get his attention.
Boomer looked up, face was tear stained. His lower lip trembled as he looked up at her, his breath very deep as his face was twisted into one of pure sadness. "B-Bubbles." he said, struggling to get her name out. He reached a hand out to her and grabbed her hand, pulling her from her standing position, and pulled her into a hug.
Bubbles was very surprised by the sudden movement, and almost got up, but Boomer refused to let her move. He held her tight. "Please… just… stay with me like this… even if it's only for a little while." Boomer whispered as he squeezed her tighter. "Please."
She took a deep breath as her trembling hands wrapped around the poor boy's neck. Boomer leaned his head into her shoulder and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. He started to cry and let all his feelings out.
"Boomer… what happened?" Bubbles finally asked, still holding him as he started to calm down.
He didn't pull away, but just talked. "I guess you never knew about Him's treatment of us while we stayed with him, huh." Boomer asked as he still looked down.
Bubbles' eyes widened. "What happened?" Bubbles asked, still not letting go of him as she moved her hand to his head and pet him a little bit.
He took a deep breath. "You know Him's hands?"
"Those crab things?" Bubbles asked.
"Yes. Well, you see, he's never really touched you with them, has he? Well, they're the sharpest things in the world if he were to open them." Boomer stated.
Bubbles stared at him, her eyes still wide open with surprise. "Is that why you wouldn't move at the sight of the sword?"
"Yes. You see, Him always held back with you because earth is too close to heaven, where God can always reach down and stop him, but where he was in hell, he could do whatever he wanted, anything. So, while we were living with him, any time we failed to destroy you girls, he would…" Boomer gulped. "punish us."
Bubbles continued to hold him as he continued his story, stroking the back of his head.
"So, Him punished us with what he knew about the most. Fear." Boomer stated. "Butch already had a deathly fear of scorpions and so, Him would throw him into a room where there were billions of scorpions, real scorpions, poison, tail, and all. And Butch wouldn't be able to do anything since he would be tied to a chair. Same with Brick, only with lizards. But, me, I was different, I had no fear of actual bugs or anything, so Him simply abused me. He would hit me, whip me, kick me while I was down, anything that involved pain. But, one day, do you remember the time I was captured by you guys?"
Bubbles nodded.
"Well, Him thought it was all my fault that we weren't able to destroy you that day, so he hit me, with his claw." Boomer pulled away and pushed his hair aside. There, on the right side of his head, was a line. A rather large line that was red, and it looked pretty deep.
Bubbles covered her mouth again. "Why didn't you ever tell us about this?" Bubbles asked as she reached her hand out to touch it.
Boomer looked away. "When Brick and Butch found out, we decided to run away, run away to earth where Him couldn't go for too long. We ended up on the road, hiding from citizens, from you guys, from pretty much everyone. Then, after 3 years, we were taken in by a guy named Brisbaine and he took care of us, until we were ready to live independently, then he let us go, giving us enough money to start our own new lives. The training we received from him, made us stronger, strong enough to face Him. But, from him, he just amplified our fears, and created a new one for me." Boomer looked down, his lower lip shaking.
"When we went back to Him to try and seal him away, all this pain inside me welled up and I ended up killing Him instead of sealing him." Boomer covered his face with his hands. "I'm such a monster. A murderer, I actually enjoyed the look of pure terror on his face, I'm a horrible monster! Even worse than Him!" Boomer started to cry again.
Bubbles looked at him with sympathy, and grabbed his head again, holding it to her shoulder as he continued to cry. "You're not a monster."
"Yes I am!" Boomer shouted as he continued to cry on her shoulder, wrapping his arms around her, seeking warmth and comfort.
"No, you're not, Boomer. I promise, you're not a monster." Bubbles stated as she stroked the back of his head. "Even if you were a monster, I would never leave you. If the world had somehow decided to turn their back on you, I promise that I will be with you, helping you. I will never abandon you." Bubbles promised as she hugged him tighter.
Boomer's breathing started to become more even. He pulled away quickly and just kissed Bubbles, his eyes closed tightly. Bubbles blinked in surprise as her large eyes got even wider. But, then her eyes started to droop closed and she kissed back as the two held each other. Boomer slipping his tongue in her mouth when she opened her mouth. But, sadly, they had to part for air, and one other thing.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Brianna exclaimed running over, still wearing her costume with gray color contacts, pale make up, her black wig which was falling off slightly, her swords abandoned.
Boomer and Bubbles blinked. "BRIANNA!?" They shouted and asked in surprise.
Brianna smiled innocently and ran into the arms of both of her parents. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you too much! I'm sorry! Mommy, daddy." Brianna said, turning to both of them.
Boomer smiled a genuine smile and patted the small girl on the head. "C'mon, let's get out of here."
"Hey, daddy, are you gonna leave a big tip since I did such a good job?" Brianna asked innocently as she held the hands of both of her parents, walking toward the exit.
"So, was it fun?" Blade asked as they walked out.
Boomer placed 5 dollars in the jar and walked away with Bubbles.
"Good work, Brianna, ok, go back. " Brittany ordered.
"Yes, ma'am!" she exclaimed as she saluted and put on her dead expression again as she walked back in.
Meanwhile...
"Butterbutt, are you scared?" Butch asked, laughing a little.
"What are you talking about, stupid?" Buttercup asked, glaring at him.
"Well, you look a little shaky at seeing the spider webs."
"Sh-shut up!" Buttercup shouted as she looked away, pouting.
Butch smirked. Then looked down. "S-s-s-s—"
"S—what?" Buttercup asked, scared that it might be spiders.
"SCORPIONS!" Butch yelled as he jumped into Buttercup's arms.
Buttercup grunted as she caught Butch then dropped him on the floor.
"NO! THERE ARE SCORPIONS THERE!" Butch screamed as he flew up to the ceiling only to be surprised with even more scorpions. Buttercup shook her head.
"OOh-ooh! Scorpions! You're such a wuss!" Buttercup laughed then turned to her shoulder then her face paled. "S-s-s-s- SPIDER!" Buttercup screamed as she flew up to where Butch was and squeezed him in fear. "Kill em!" Buttercup yelled, pointing at the walls crawling with spiders.
"C-c-c-calm down!" Butch exclaimed, hugging her too, scared. Then he looked closer to the walls. Butch calmed down a little. "Look, they're fake." Butch grabbed a spider and showed Buttercup.
Buttercup hid in Butch's shoulder then grabbed a scorpion. "These are fake too!" She exclaimed.
"We've been duped!" Butch exclaimed.
"Wanna get out of here?" Buttercup asked, still a little shook up.
"Quickly!" Butch stated as they flew quickly out of that hallway.
"I've been waiting for you." A voice said ominously in front of them.
The two looked over. There was a small boy with a corpse groom costume and a roaring chainsaw.
"Oh, hi, Blake." Butch stated simply.
Blake stopped the chainsaw, and looked at them, surprised that they had already recognized him.
"Where's the exit?" Buttercup asked.
Blake pouted that he couldn't scare his parents and pointed over to the left.
"Thanks." Buttercup thanked and walked out, not scared at all by her son carrying a chainsaw.
"Butterbutt, calm down there are no more spiders!" Butch shouted as they walked out.
Buttercup glared. "At least I wasn't screaming my head off at scorpions!"
"Shut up, Butterbutt!"
"Ah! Mitch! Wanna go in the haunted house with me?" Buttercup asked, running over to him.
"Hey!" Butch shouted, running after Buttercup.
Blake walked out, pouting.
"What's with you?" Blade asked.
"They recognized me immediately." Blake pouted as he walked back toward the house. "I'm going home."
Brittany shook her head. She looked down at her watch. "It's 9:00 already, we should get back home," she stated, smiling at Blade.
Blade smiled back and held her hand as they walked back home, hand-in-hand.
"Hey! Wait up!" Brianna exclaimed, ripping her wig off as she ran up to the 3.
