Sorry that it took such an obscene amount of time, but here it is! The second chapter!
Hope you enjoy it!
Three days have passed since their fight and things have slowly turned back to normal, they are still at odds with each other but they don't show.
Bubbles is peacefully, while humming a tune, arranging some flowers they have received as a welcoming gift from one of the neighbors; an elderly, frail woman. Bubbles is very happy to have them, somehow, they bring little life back to their dull house.
Buttercup, however, is laying around on the couch, while eating out of a Pringles chips bag, switching in-between channels on their 50 inch plasma-TV. Buttercup doesn't care anymore about the room arrangements. She's just upset about having to be back here at all, but she tries her best not to show.
Blossom is still working on some final documents for their settling in, after all, it has been awhile since they lasts returned to Townsville. About five years, actually. The last time they had come back is when they were third-teen years old, they picked up some things they had left behind. They had to move quickly, back then...
After a few moments did Blossom take a rest, she stretches her arms and wrights, trying to loosen them up. And a big yawn follows suit, "fi-na-lly, I'm done!"
And a curious Bubbles raises both her eyebrows and asks "Done with what? I thought all the paperwork was done back in Cityville, did we miss something?" And she continues working on with her flowers.
"Yeah, but aunt Sally forgot some final necessities, like our transfer papers to school." Suddenly it is quiet, Bubbles stops messing with the flowers and Buttercup switches the TV off.
"What do you mean, transfer papers?" Buttercup asks stealthily.
Blossom shifts on her chair to angle her body towards Buttercup and answer's, icily, "We are going to attend at Townsville high this following fall..."
"What...wait, what? I thought we were not going to school, nobody mentioned this to me about this!" Buttercup yelled with still half her mouth full of chewed chips.
"Well, did you really think we were not going to school?" Blossom said rhetorically.
"Uhm, yeah! Not going to school was one of the perks of coming back here! This place is a fucking hellhole!"
"BUTTERCUP!" Blossom yells in a warning tone, it immediately shuts Buttercup up. Blossom can be very intimidating, even to Buttercup, when she is serious.
The tension is rising by the second...
In an attempt to break it, Bubbles tries to act aloof about the issue.
"But I think that it might be fun... going to school," as she walks towards her sisters she picks up one of the transfer papers, checking it herself, then she puts it back and smiles.
"we'll be able to see our old friends, again. After all, we didn't actually explain why we left, so..."
And the tension becomes less...
Buttercup goes back to the couch "Fine, we're going to school," she says, more to herself than to her sisters.
Bubbles is glad she is able to prevent them from fighting, she only wishes she had done the same three days ago, but for now she is satisfied. She returns to her flowers, taking them to the dinner table and placing them next to the fruit bowl. As she resumes her humming from before.
Blossom returns back to her paperwork, taking them to her room. Although she's done with the transfer papers, she still has to work on one more thing. This is something more work related, a request by aunt Sally. She keeps it a secret from her sisters, knowing that it would be awful if they know.
