Chapter 11
Battle 10: Results

"So, Blade, what are the standings?" Blake asked casually as he sat on the table with Blade furiously typing on the keyboard on his laptop.

"The guys have 10 votes and Dexter has 1 vote." Blade stated, staring with concentration, at the screen.

"Wow, they must have a lot of fan girls." Blake laughed slightly, referring to the rabid fan-girls. Blake suddenly turns to face nothing in particular. "Oh, by the way, I mean no offense by that, we think that you loving us so much to the point that you leave reviews thinking that we're adorable is actually quite adorable of you too! But, you know, girls, you could leave reviews about me… not just Blade and—"

"Ok, Blake! That's enough!" Blade yelled, getting annoyed by Blake's constant ranting.

Blake shrugged. "Just saying. By the way, girls, I like long walks on the—"

"BLAKE!" Blade yelled again.

"Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist." he said, waving his hands in a surrendering way.

"So, we're winning in other words?" Brick asked, grinning smugly at Dexter.

"Shut up, Hoodlum, it's not over 'til it's over." Dexter said, grumbling.

"No… it's over, the poll is closed now." Blade added in.

Dexter's mouth dropped open. "SERIOUSLY!? It's been a week already!?" he exclaimed incredulously.

"Actually, more than a week, the author of this story has just been too busy and lazy to update." Blade told Dexter. (Ok, I'm done breaking the fourth wall, I promise hehe)

"Yup, and I got 10 times the number of votes than you." Brick grinned smugly.

"Ew, then we have to kiss them?" Buttercup asked with distaste, her face twisted in disgust as she pointed at the three with her thumb.

"Shut up, Butterbutt, you act as though it's punishment." Butch muttered.

"It is punishment." Buttercup told him with no doubt in her voice.

Butch growled.

"Calm down, Butch… she was just joking…" Boomer said, trying to make Butch stop steaming.

"No I wasn't." Buttercup stated smugly as she watched Butch struggle in Boomer's arm-lock.

Blossom shook her head at Buttercup. "Buttercup, there's no need to be a tease. It's not nice to do that to poor Butch." Blossom went to go pat Butch on the head. "There, there, Butch."

Butch and Blake glared in her direction after she went back to join Buttercup and Bubbles. Why does it seem like EVERYONE treats us like a dog!? the two thought in their heads together.

Bubbles sighed, she seemed the least reluctant of the three. It's not like she would show a little indecisiveness like Blossom, who was glancing between Brick and Dexter. And, she certainly wasn't going to argue like Buttercup. She walked over to Boomer and simply kissed him on the cheek, causing many "oohs" and jaw-drops from the crowd.

Boomer, however, for the first time, stood frozen, unable to do anything and accidentally released Butch onto the unsuspecting Buttercup.

Butch collided with Buttercup and they landed in an awkward (cough perverted cough) position. Butch was on top of her, his face turned to try and block himself from Buttercup's teeth, Buttercup's mouth was on his cheek, and they hadn't moved for about two minutes until the crowd started to tell them to get a room.

At that moment, Buttercup quickly pushed Butch off of her, spitting into the ground as she kicked Butch in the face, "YOU PERV!!" she yelled as her foot collided into Butch's face.

Butch grunted. He grabbed her foot while it was still in contact with his face. He twisted it around, causing Buttercup to lose her balance and land on her back. "How do you like that!" Butch called to her from above, holding his arms out in as if asking for a fight.

Buttercup smiled sweetly at him which caught him off-guard, but then turned into an angry expression as she kicked him in his ankle, which caused him to fall on the ground with her. Butch growled and jumped on Buttercup's stomach and they rolled around.

"You know, this is really erotic." Blade said, watching the two with Blake.

"Yeah… but at the same time it's completely not." Blake disagreed slightly as they followed the two rolling around.

Blade nodded in agreement.

"Five bucks on my dad." Blake bet as soon as Butch and Buttercup stopped rolling around and started to fight in mid-air, pulling out 5 dollars.

"No way, Buttercup's got… well… she's Buttercup, that's reason enough." Blade stated, as the two continued to wrestle above the stag. The audience started chanting "fight! fight! fight!" as if it were a fight going on in a high school hallway.

"Well, Butch will get the last hit." Blake stated, putting 5 dollars down on the table.

Blade huffed and put down his 5 dollars too. Butch got a punch in on Buttercup's cheek. "Yeah! Go dad!" Blake cheered.

Buttercup landed a kick into Butch's gut, causing Butch to double over. "Yeah! You go girl!" Blade cheered on Buttercup.

Brick walked over to Blossom, trying to be all sneaky as Blossom watched the two wrestling. "Soooo," Brick dragged out the word "so", "How's it goin'?" as soon as he said that, though, he immediately turned away and started to make faces and scold himself for saying something so stupid.

"Not much," Blossom answered, not moving, trying not to meet certain blood-red eyes next to her.

"So, do I get a kiss too?" Brick asked hopefully, once again scolding himself for being so vague and stupid.

Blossom blushed slightly, but worked hard to make sure that the blood pumped back to her heart. She let out a deep sigh.

Brick took another glance at her and noticed that she looked tense. "Of course, you don't have to, if you don't want to." Brick told her, looking off to the side sadly.

Blossom took a deep breath. She waited until it seemed like everyone's eyes were on Butch and Buttercup, then turned quickly to Brick and very swiftly kissed him on his left cheek. She had to stand on her toes to reach him though.

Brick looked absolutely surprised and then he got a slightly doofy grin, but as soon as it appeared, it disappeared, since Dexter came up.

"Can I have a hug at least for second place?" Dexter asked, smiling innocently.

Brick almost snorted. Yeah, like she'd really—hey! What's she doing!?

Blossom smiled and hugged Dexter, kissing him on the cheek too. Brick's mouth dropped open. Well, I think we all know who her favorite is. He thought bitterly like a child would when a mother would give the younger one more attention.

"HEY! What are you kids doing!? It's 10:00 pm! Move, move, move!" a voice broke out with several whistles that tooted.

"Crud! It's the cops! Let's get out of here!" Blade exclaimed, taking off into the sky.

The others nodded and took off. "WAIT, WAIT! WHAT ABOUT—" Dexter started, but was handcuffed. "—me." Dexter frowned as he was taken away by the police.

"NEVER FEAR! DANNY IS HERE!" Danny exclaimed, flying in with a jet-pack, slamming right into Dexter and flying off into the sky.

"Hey! That's my jet-pack!" Jimmy Neutron shouted after Danny.

The next day…

"... Class, please settle down, and let's work on our Social Studies... Eek!" The teacher ducked as a spit-ball was launched at her. No one was thinking about class after last night.

"Dude, did you see go to the Battle of the Bands!?"

"Yeah! Dude, those guys were so SICK!"

"That song was so cute!"

"I know, I love Jonas Brothers!"

That was the typical conversation being exchanged in the classroom.

Brick let out a sigh. People were staring. Again. He sent a glare in everyone's direction and they all went back to talking about the Battle of the Bands rather than staring at him.

"Hey. Kid," Brick called to his son, nudging him.

Blade sighed as he turned to face him. "What?"

"Why is everyone staring at me? Why can't they stare at Boomer or Butch?" Brick whispered. "They were in the band too after all."

"They are staring at them, but Boomer just doesn't care, so they settle for staring at you since you give some reaction. As for Butch, just look at him. He's basking in it with Blake." Blade explained and pointed over at Butch and Blake, talking to a bunch of girls.

"Yeah, girl, that's right, I was in the Rowdyruff Boys. Oh, yeah, I was the guitarist." Butch told the girls as he smirked.

"Yeah, I was the little kid, the guitarist is my dad, you know, I could get you some time with him if you ask." Blake told the girls.

"Hey, who was the lead singer? He was cute." a girl named Alexia said.

Butch coughed. "-Ahem- That was… my brother… Brick."

"Hey, where's the red kid, he was SOOO cute!" a random girl asked.

"… That was Blade… my… cousin." Blake said with disappointment.

"That's what I want to know! Where are they?"

Blake and Butch sighed. "Over there." they said together, pointing to Brick and Blade with their thumbs.

"KYAAA! IT'S THEM!" and all of a sudden, Blake and Butch were alone because all the fan-girls went over to Brick and Blade.

"You guys were so good! I voted for you, you know!" the girls were obsessing over them.

"Your hair is so smooth! How do you get it like that!? I'm jealous!"

"You guys look so similar! Are you like, siblings?"

Brick and Blade shared a glance at each other and sighed. "Lemme try something." Brick suggested. "HEY LOOK THERE'S DEXTER!" Brick yelled suddenly when Dexter walked into the room.

"KYAA! HE SANG 'GOTTA FIND YOU'!" and some of the girls rushed over to Dexter, running him over.

Dexter looked at the crowd rushing toward him. Oh, crap.

Brick let out a sigh when some of the girls left to Dexter. That's a relief. A stream of red hair caught his eye and he looked over immediately. Brick's blood began to boil when Blossom was getting tossed around because Dexter seemed to fail to notice that she was getting pushed against the wall even though she just wanted to get into the classroom.

It was then that a forceful push from a fan girl caused Blossom to lose her footing. Brick got up from his seat.

"Watch out!"

Blossom nearly fell, but was caught in someone's arms. Dexter's. Dexter glared at all the girls. "That was dangerous! Be more careful next time!"

Brick stood there, right in front of them. Dexter was holding onto Blossom from behind and they were sitting on the ground. Dexter had taken the fall for Blossom. Brick stared at them for a long time. Why is he in my spot? That should be where I should be sitting. I'm always helping her when she's about to fall. Brick's eyes narrowed. No, I'm not. Who am I kidding? I'm always the one who causes her to fall. Brick gulped down a lump and walked back to his seat as if nothing happened.

"OK, YOU BRATS! SIT DOWN RIGHT NOW!" the teacher yelled to the class. Everyone scrambled to their seats. The teacher smiled as she managed to finally get the students to listen to her. "Now, everyone open your text books to page 124..."

"Whoa. Did you see that? I've never seen Dexter yell before." a girl whispered.

"Let alone save a girl like that." another one continued.

"Are they secretly dating or something?"

"I guess they're a cute couple, I mean, they are like practically the male and female counterparts of each other. Smart, good looking, and nice people."

"Shhh! Do you want to anger the dark/angry force over there!?"

"Oh… right, I forgot he was sitting behind us. I wonder if Bri—"

The girl clamped a hand over her mouth. "Shhhh! He'll hear us!"

Do they think I'm deaf or stupid? Brick thought to himself in annoyance as he glared at the girls in front of him.

A piece of paper landed on Dexter's desk. Brick glanced over at the note that was passed to him. Dexter was to his right, so it shouldn't be too hard to see the note. It was in pink ink and the paper was folded very neatly. He leaned over in his seat to try and read it. He tried to look casual even though he was practically about to fall out of his seat.

Thanks for helping me. That probably would've hurt. Again, thanks.

Blossom

Brick grimaced at the note.

Dexter took out his blue pen and started to write back.

It's no problem. Dexter paused. It seemed like he was weighing decisions in his head. Listen, meet me outside the gym after class. I want to talk to you.

Dexter folded up the note and tossed it backward, knowing that it was going to land on Blossom's desk after a few calculations.

Brick glared at the piece of paper and shot his heat vision at it. Unfortunately… he missed. Well, not missed, but intercepted by a different ray of heat vision. Brick glared over in Boomer's direction. Boomer sighed and pointed to where the note was. Then, Brick understood. If he had shot, the paper would have burned up and the soot would've landed right in Blossom's hair, which would need a very good reason as to why he would do that. Afterall, Blossom's prized possession was her hair.

But, then, his anger returned when he realized that he had just allowed that horrid piece of paper to land on Blossom's desk. He knew what Dexter was going to do. And it was going to happen in only 20 seconds.

OK, DONE! Geez, that took forever, I've had this chapter on my computer since like… September O.o lol.

So anyway, sorry that it's a little shorter than the others. And, yes, by the way, I did make references to you guys who have stayed with me throughout these past few months XD Thanks guys, you're awesome!

Oh, yeah, and since I'm almost done with this one, I'm only gonna update this one, plus, I'll try and make the updates as fast as I can make them.
