Buttercup and Butch walked back to Buttercups house, Buttercup was still in tears, her eyes were swollen and red. Buttercup and Butch knocked on the door, the professor answered it "Buttercup, why are you crying?", the Professor looked at Butch angrily "did he make you cry?" then he took the newspaper and was reading and hit Butch over and over again with it

"no professor" said Buttercup quietly

"ow dude, I didn't do anything" said Butch angrily

"oh then why are you crying sweetheart?"

"our friend got beaten tonight by his parents and was shoved in the back of an ambulance" said Buttercup sadly

"oh my! I hope he is ok" said the professor

"yeah I just wanted to walk Buttercup home, but ill go now" said Butch

"bye Butch" said Buttercup and she waved, she looked like a wreck

A week later…

It was a breezy and gloomy Saturday, Buttercup was looking at a stone that had her dearly beloved friends name engraved on it. She managed to hold in her tears, everybody left but her, she continued to look at the grave, she couldn't believe the fact that her friend was dead, he is gone, he will never return, she couldn't face the fact that she is never going to see him again.

Buttercup sighed and turned around to go home, to her surprise Butch was there

"hey" said Butch

"hey" replied Buttercup

"want to go for a walk?"

"sure"

"I know your sad about Derek now but it is kind of a good thing"

"how can DEATH ever be a good thing?"

"he is finally safe, he is finally happy"

Buttercup sighed "your right"

"so instead of being sad forever we should be happy for him" said Butch and he hugged her

"your right, he is in a better place"

A month later…

Buttercup didn't forget about her friend but she wasn't as sad about it anymore, she was glad he was safe, happy and in a better place, she closed her locker and there was Butch, as always

"sup, what do you want to do for free period?" asked Butch

"I don't know, I would say go outside but it is raining" said Buttercup

"yeah, what a bummer"

A boy walked over to Buttercup, he had light brown hair and light blue eyes. He was wearing a Hollister t-shirt and jean baggy shorts with white sneakers. "hey your Buttercup, your like totally awesome"Buttercup smiled, not a sincere or thankful smile a smile that showed she was going to gloat "tell me something I don't know"

"well I bet you know this already too but your really pretty" said the boy

Butches smile faded and turned into an evilly glare

Buttercup blushed a little "I guess I am, I don't know"

"you really are" said the boy "oh my name is Greg"

Buttercup smiled, Butch was getting really jealous "great to meet you but what do you want?"

Buttercup looked at Butch and noticed he was angry, she turned to Greg "ye-ye-yeah what do you want?"

"well can I talk to you alone" he glared at Butch, Butch made a growling sound, Greg didn't even look scared, he turned back to Buttercup "can I talk to you alone?"

"suuure" said Buttercup

Butch kept his glare on Greg but he walked away

"well what do you want?" asked Buttercup

"well I wanted to know if you would like to go on a date with me"

Buttercup smiled "ok pick me up at my house tonight at 7:00"

"great see you then" then Greg walked away

Buttercup blushed and walked mindlessly down the hall with a big dorky grin on her face, then she turned a corner and saw Butch talking to Bubbles, "HEY BUTCH"

Butch turned and smiled at Buttercup "hey, what did he ask you?""he asked me on a date" answered Buttercup cooly, she acted as if it were nothing

Butch forced a smile on his face "greeat"

"no it isn't a big deal" said Buttercup but then she smiled and blushed "I am so happy"

"mhm"

Buttercup didn't even notice Bubbles standing beside them she was looking at Butch sadly "oh hey Bubbles"

"hi Buttercup"

"what are you guys talking about?"

"oh we were talking about uh…" Bubbles paused "Boomer" she smiled

"oh that sounds like an interesting conversation"

"it was" said Bubbles "now I am going"

"ok bye" said Buttercup, she was confused with Bubbles behavior "why were you talking about bird brain Boomer?""she wanted to know more about him" said Butch

"she likes him a lot" said Buttercup

"yeah"

Buttercup and Butch went to there next period and then school shortly ended

Time for Buttercup to get ready for her date…
