Wulfy-Chan: HEY! We're getting nearer to the end! Gosh, I'm so excited! I've never finished an actual descent length story before..
Butch: Eh, save it. Not worth telling anyone.
Wulfy-Chan: ...O~o What the hell are you talking about?
Butch: Hm? What? I don't know...
Wulfy-Chan: Maybe you should go take a vacation..
Butch: Nah.. besides, I already am!
Wulfy-Chan: Oh, right. Well you should return then. Everyone's probably dying to see you again.*HINT THE SARCASM* ;3
Butch: Y'know, you're probably right. *leaves*
Wulfy-Chan: ...WHAT?! O^O No goodbyes?! I didn't even mean it! ...

!EXTRA INFO YOU MIGHT NEED!
Alrighty, well I've decided that everyone (the gang) are now out of school. Whatever may have happened; graduated, dropped out, ect... I really don't care. They're just done with school now. So, they're as old as you want them to be. As long as the range is between 18-24, you're fine. xD But yeah... when Butch said that school was over on Friday (Chapter 11), then yeah, you should understand now. xP
I just decided that it might be better for them, plus if you think about it, teenagers (meaning around the ages 13-16) could be considered sluts, whores, ect... if they're having a baby. I would not like that kind of description at ALL for them! Not a bit. Well, glad to get that out. ON WITH ZEE STOREH~ ;D
~ Miyako's POV ~
Silently walking home, I checked out everyone's job schedules. I've been planning on a vacation for us all at a nearby beach for nearly an entire month or two now. It'd be only for a week though, because of everyone's new jobs.
Looking back and forth between the schedules I decided that we would all go on Sunday. By the time we reach our destination, it'd be nightfall and we could rest until the morning. We'd still be able to have a full week if we go on Sunday, plus, we can all start packing then since all of us either had no shift at all that day, or just didn't work.
I texted the girls about the decision and immediately got replies back. Keiji, Butch and Brick were apparently with Kiyari, Kaoru and Momoko so the only one left to tell was Boomer.
I turned at a corner and started toward the Vanilla Ice. The small shop always seemed to be having a special with something with vanilla every week.
Stopping at the front, I checked the board of specials. And there it is.. Buy any ice cream cone size with a large vanilla milkshake for only $3.49!
I walked inside the small shop and slowly reading the menu above. Boomer wasn't here so I suppose he might be in the back getting more ice cream.
A boy came to the front just then, a soft smile appearing on his face. "Welcome to Vanilla Ice. Would the Miss like anything?" He asked and I gave a small laugh. "No, I'm fine. Just waiting for someone."
His hair seemed to be spiked upwards and was a very light shade of blond which made his hair similar to an almost white. His front bangs stood up while the back is longer, leaving a curl at the base of his neck. His eyes were icy blue and he seemed to have dark blue snake bites in his lip.
"C'mon, have something. It's on me." He said and flashed a pearly white smile, a shiver creeping up my spine. He was downright handsome, and he knew it.
I blushed and nodded. "Alright. But only because you're so persistent!"
"Well, what would you like then, gorgeous?"
I had to fight down another blush. Gosh, I wish Boomer would hurry up! "Make it a surprise." I told him and he gave another smile and got to work.
A few minutes past before he had a cup in his hand and shoving it my way. "Order up," When I began to reach for it, he pulled it back smirking. "On one condition.."
I raised my eyebrow and gave a smile. "Which is...?"
"An exchange for name and number." He said simply and wiggled his eyebrows.
It wasn't that much of a big deal, and he didn't seem any dangerous. "Okay."
We both pulled out our phones and exchanged them, pressing in letters and numbers.
"Done." He said and we exchanged them back. I looked at his name on my contacts list. Cadeon Kristoff.
"So, Cade then?"
"Well, that's what my close friends call me, but yeah. Others call me Kristoff. I'm fine with any, really. You could even call me Mr. Hot American and I'd be fine."
"I think I'll just call you Cade."
"Alright, Miyako. How about I call you Bubbles?"
I tensed up as I reached for my surprise dessert. "What?" I murmured, eyes widening.
"Bubbles. Can I call you that? I have a habit of giving people nicknames." He said and I sighed with relief, finally grabbing the cup.
"Oh, well...okay. Just don't call me that in public. People might get me confused with the super heroine Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls Z." I said and he nodded.
"Yeah! Wow, you two resemble each other so much I never even thought of it. Hm... maybe she's your sister from another mister?" I rolled my eyes playfully and footsteps sounded from up some stairs.
Boomer finally came down and fixed his uniform hat and bow while also straightening out his ruffled shirt. He finally glanced up and his eyes met mine. "Miyako? What're you doing here?" He asked and I smiled.
"Well, first off, I decided that you might want some company on the walk home. Plus, I got to tell you more news about our vacation this week." Boomer nodded thoughtfully.
"Yeah, alright. I'll be right back, gotta get my new schedule for the week after." He said before biting his lip and then giving a kiss to my cheek, hurrying through a door.
Cade looked at me with a devilish smile and I blushed, returning it back.
"Well, let's go." Boomer said coming out of the door, stuffing a folded paper into his pocket. I nodded and gave a sip from the cup. It was a milky creamy vanilla milkshake. There was something else mixed in as well, though. Something like blue berry or cotton candy...
"This is delicious!" I exclaimed and Cade gave a smirk. "Of course it is, I made it myself."
"You made this? It's really good! Try seeing if you could get it on the menu. I'd be coming here daily!" I said and Boomer seemed to frown.
"Is it really that good?" Cade asked rubbing the back of his neck as pink tinted his cheeks and I nodded.
"Very! Well, I'm gonna go. Bye, Cade." I told him and laced my fingers with Boomer's who tensed.
"Alright, See ya, Boom. Text ya later, Bubbles!" He beamed and we walked out.
Boomer looked at me with a puzzled expression. "What?"
"Does he know...?"
"No, it's just a nickname."
"Oh.."
I frowned knowing something else was bothering him. I squeezed his hand and smiled up at him. "Let's go. I have to tell you about the plans!"
~ The next day ~
(Saturday)
Downstairs, me, Brick and Kaoru were sitting down on some stools and talking.
"I can't believe how fast the days went by." Kaoru commented as I nodded.
"I know! School's over already and soon some of us might go to college, get an actual job... Oh, it's so exciting!" I shrieked loudly as Kaoru and Brick chuckled.
"Yeah, yeah. But how are you two and Momoko going to handle the 'extra baggage'." Brick asked saying the last two words rather silently.
Kaoru bit her lip softly. "Neither of us are sure about that. We're completely new to this stuff! We'll figure out something, though. Momoko will do anything to get into Tokyo State University. Despite the location being here, it's the only university for high and knowledgeable students. Your grades and IQ must be close to perfection to get into it; and Momoko has been dying to enter ever since the beginning of grade school!"
"Hmm, that long? Well, she is Momoko." Brick said.
"Mhmm, and we only have four months left until these little guys are born." I said softly and holding a hand atop my belly. Kaoru nodded and we all fell into a peaceful silence.
During the five months that had already past, there had been no sight of Kale and the dark trio. Or neither the Punks and Blurry for that matter. Us girls are all extremely happy that the sickness had died down, especially when Kaoru and Kiyari would always wake up in a cranky mood.
A giggle escaped my lips and Brick and Kaoru looked over my way questionably. "Sorry, I'm just thinking. I really wonder what's inside here." I said and gave my stomach a small tap.
"It would be easier to know if you girls just asked. You people won't even look at those baby diagram picture things! Let along the gender(s)!" Brick said getting a bit agitated.
"Ssshhhh! Are you forgetting that your brothers are only one floor up? They might hear you! Super humans, remember?!" Kaoru growled at him.
"And Brick, those 'baby diagram picture things' are called 'sonograms'." I told him giggling.
"Whatever..." He huffed and Kaoru gave a small laugh.
The door then opened to reveal Kiyari who was smiling brightly, and Keiji who was slightly frowning and holding two bags.
"HELLO!" Kiyari yelled and we all flinched, looking at her surprised.
"HEY MIYAKO! Let's go play a game! Huh? What do ya say? Game time?! C'mon, let's go play a game!" she shouted bouncing up and down as she grabbed my arm, hauling me off my stool.
"Kiyari!" I shrieked as she pulled me around the lab/house.
"KARI!"
Suddenly, Kiyari stopped and let go of me, my eyes widening as I ran into the wall.
With stars dancing around my head and swirls in my eyes, Brick helped me to my feet.
"Kiyari! Look what you did! You could've hurt Miyako! Or worse, her 'attachment'..." Keiji scolded as Kiyari looked down.
Keiji walked over to me and gave a sheepish smile. "Sorry about that Miyako. She's not usually this hyper as you know. She won't even remember this when she wakes up from her nap." Keiji said before sternly saying the last bit towards her.
Kiyari pouted and walked up the stairs slowly.
We all sweatdropped at Keiji before he sighed. "I better go on up to make sure she isn't into anything." he said and made his way up the stairs after Kiyari.
"Oh, the black bag is for you and your brothers, Brick. The white is for you girls and Momoko. I guess you can call it an early present of some kind?" he said before disappearing from sight.
"An early present of some kind?" Kaoru asked and we shrugged.
Brick opened the black bag and pulled out a really small red bag. Opening the red bag, Brick pulled out a red rubber bracelet. On the front was a large uppercase letter 'R' in black. Brick raised a brow before pulling it on his left wrist. Going back inside the red bag, he pulled out a small white card.
"Okay... 'Dear Brick, didn't know anything to get you so we just gave you the money...' What the hell...?" Brick muttered as he grabbed the bills that fell out.
Me and Kaoru glanced at each other before giving a shrug and opening the white bag. Kaoru pulled out a lime green bag while I pulled out a sky blue bag, which were both bigger in size than Brick's.
Kaoru opened her bag and a gasp escaped her lips. Inside was a soccer ball which was very similar to her favorite ball which was popped by Butch. On the ball, Kaoru's name was etched into it with dark green and a soccer player's signature could be identified on it too. "I can't believe this! How did they get this?" she murmured, stars shining brightly in her eyes.
I bit my lip smiling as I opened my own bag. Inside were a few clothing pieces as well as some shoes and purses and such. What I didn't expect were the different colored ribbons and thread, the needles, the pin cushions, the different laces and cloth...
I found another bracelet inside of my bag that was light blue. It had a lowercase 'p' on it and I slipped it onto my right wrist.
I grabbed a small white card that was on the top and read the insides:
'Miyako, I found some of your drawings lying on the floor some days ago. How come you never told me you were so good at drawing? Well, as you've probably just seen, I've gotten you a few fashion equipment to start with. Maybe you could finally try and design those items from your pictures and model them? *Hint Hint* Try opening your own fashion store one day. You'd be amazing. I just know it! With Powerpuff Love, Kiyari + (somewhat) Keiji'
My smile grew as I finished reading. Tears began welling up in my eyes. This was way too much! She didn't have to do this!
"Miyako... are you okay?" Kaoru asked as she slipped on her light green bracelet which had the lowercase letter 'g' on it.
I nodded and wiped the tears away. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit overwhelmed, that's all. I just would've never expected this from her."
"Hey Miyako, look at this."
I looked inside the white bag again that Kaoru held open and seen another smaller bag. It was yellow.
I looked at her puzzled. "Do you think it's for all three of us?" I asked her.
"Probably. It's best if we wait until Momoko gets back from her job. Otherwise she'd throw a fit that we didn't wait for her."
I gave a sheepish smile as I sweatdropped.
Suddenly, the lab began to shake as footsteps roared through the upstairs hallway. Butch and Boomer were at the top of the stairs before tumbling down them.
"Idiots." Brick muttered as he gave a whack to both of their heads.
They both smiled and got up, reaching inside the black bag to grab their own smaller versions.
When Butch ripped open his bag, his eyes turned into stars. He grabbed something from out of the bag and shoved it into Kaoru's face.
"No way..."
"Yes way! Wanna go play?"
"Hell yeah!"
Then, the two greens fled up the stairs, probably ready to play a new video game.
When I looked over towards Boomer, a blush was fading from his face as he read the card that Kiyari and Keiji wrote.
"What'd they say? Can I see?" I asked him as I made my way in front of him.
His blush then deepened and he gave his head a shake. "Gomen."
I gave him a smile. "It's alright. Not everything needs to be shared. Can I at least see what you got?" I asked him and this time he nodded.
Inside his bag were all different kinds of art supplies. Crayons, markers, colored pencils, paint, even some canvas paper and other materials.
I spotted his dark blue bracelet that had the lowercase letter 'r' on it and grabbed it, slipping it onto his wrist. I gave him a smile and another blush tinted his cheeks and I giggled.
Boomer put his bag down and stretched. "I'll be back down then, I'm going to take a shower." he said and went upstairs, dropping something on the stairs.
I looked around to notice that no one else saw and I went over and grabbed it. It was the card that Kiyari and Keiji wrote to him!
I knew that I should just go give it back to him, it's not nice to go into his private things... but I could help but take a peek. I wanted to know what he was hiding, and why would he blush?! He shouldn't be blushing at something that she wrote!
I huffed and sat down on the bottom step, reading the note:
'Dear Boomer, I know what you're hiding you sneaky little boy~ I think they're all really adorable though! It's cute how obvious it is that you love her. Try hiding them in a better spot than under Miyako's bed. She'll find them sooner or later! *giggle* One more thing, Keiji would like to write a little something- Alright, well Boom, I can see that you're still holding back. Dude, it's been a few months now and she's not all over Butch now, is she? She told you before, they all did. They switched bodies but now they're back. Please try to realize that it is you who she loves and no one else. Stop holding back what you know is right. She loves you man. Now you just got to embrace it back. With Powerpuff Love + Rowdyruff Rock, Kiyari + Keiji'
I bit my lip as a bright blush came onto my cheeks. So that's what's been going on! I knew something was bothering him for awhile, but this? ...Boomer...
Wait, what was he hiding underneath my bed? I looked down, feeling guilty for being jealous over nothing, for reading the note, and for what I was about to do.
I got up and went upstairs, making sure that Boomer was still in the bathroom before going inside my room and closing the door.
I got down on my knees and went on Boomer's side of the bed before looking underneath. I pulled out a few sketchbooks and a blush returned onto my cheeks as I flipped though the pages.
One sketchbook had sketches all of his brothers. One sketch had Brick who was playing a guitar and singing, another was where he was leaning up against a wall chewing bubble gum. More sketches had Butch where he was fighting, and another where he was smirking and about to punch Boomer? "I hope he didn't really get hurt..." I even found a sketch at the back of Keiji who was in roller blades.
Another sketchbook had sketches all of us girls. One had Momoko who was eating a lollipop, another had Kaoru who was skateboarding on a ramp, another sketch was of me and I was picking flowers, and one of the last ones were of Kiyari who was jumping rope.
The third sketchbook I found had sketches of his brothers with my friends. Even of Kiyari and Keiji together. Brick and Momoko were sipping out of a milkshake together, Kaoru and Butch were playing a vicious game of soccer, and Keiji looked to be teaching Kiyari how to roller blade.
The last sketchbook I found had sketches of only me. One where I was blowing bubbles in the park, another where I was in my Powerpuff suit talking to a rabbit, and the last one I found the blush on my face reddened. The sketch at the back had me sleeping peacefully.
Then I frowned. There were no sketches of him. Not even one.
I got up and put the sketches back underneath the bed, carefully walking past the bathroom and back downstairs to put Boomer's note back inside his bag.
"Well aren't you a sly little girl."
I jumped back quickly, noticing that Brick was sitting on a stool with a smirk.
"Don't worry, I won't tell him. Although I specifically remember him not wanting you to read it..." he said and I looked down as a small blush appeared from guilt.
"I know! B-But he dropped it- and he was blushing! I just... I got jealous that he was blushing over something that Kiyari wrote even though it's not like that at all..."
Brick nodded thoughtfully.
3hr Time Skip (6:07PM)
Walking through the door, Momoko noticed a large white bag on the counter.
"Momoko! You're finally back!" I greeted happily.
"Your bag is awaiting you." Brick said in a funny accent which made her giggle.
"I heard; Kaoru and Butch can be heard from a block away at my job. Plus, Kiyari climbed out of the window mentioning something about the bags. Along with never taking a nap as Keiji climbed out after her." Momoko noted as we nodded and laughed.
"Yeah... I had a run in with that earlier." I said as she made her way towards the counter.
After getting her pink bag out, Brick grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in front of him.
When Momoko pulled out her own note, I walked over to the steps.
Reaching my bedroom, I found Boomer sleeping.
I walked over quietly to the side of my bed and grabbed my drawing pad. I pulled out a drawing of Boomer I had done and slipped it into the front of one of his sketchbooks with a note.
He needs at least one drawing of him. He's as much important as the rest of us and he shouldn't exclude himself.
I smiled at his sleeping form.
Settling down next to him on the bed, I gave his lips a small peck. "I love you, Boomer."
Closing my eyes and facing away from him, I felt Boomer shift his body towards me and an arm wrapped itself around me, pulling me back into him. Hesitantly, Boomer whispered, "I love you too, Miyako..." and kissed my cheek. A smile made its way onto my face as I fell asleep in his arms.
Wulfy-Chan: I know that I haven't been updating lately and I'm REALLY sorry. I still have no Wifi where I live and I've been having a major Writer's Block. Also, this is going to be a double update~ ;P R&R?
