Me: So, Butch.

Butch: Yeah?

Me: Would you do the honors?

Butch: No.

Me: ...I said...Would you do the honors?

Butch: No.

Me: T_T ...Brick, would you do the honors?

Brick: Certainly. Laughing Riot does not own anything.

Me: BUTCH!! CAN'T YOU SEE HOW EASY THAT WAS?!?!

Butch: No. Saying a disclaimer takes too much effort.

Me: ...

Blossom's Point of View

Buttercup and I were eating at the mall at a food court. Bubbles had left earlier to do some of her own shopping.

I smiled. Since we had super-powers, the Professor let us watch ourselves at an early age. It was like being REALLY short teenagers, hanging out at a mall.

I continued to eat my salad as I listened to what Buttercup was saying.

"-So then I kicked the ball into the net and SCORE!! We won the championship for the fifth time!! Thanks to yours truly!!"

She stood on the table and bowed as she pointed to herself. I giggled and tugged at one of her pant legs.

"Buttercup! People are starting to stare!!"

She smirked at me and laughed.

"Well, they're now seeing what a REAL champ looks like!!"

She shouted at the people at other tables.

"Yeah! That's right!! Right here folks!! Worldwide sports champion!!"

I laughed and pulled her down. She started to laugh too, until Bubbles came running to us.

I looked at her and smiled.

"What's up Bubbles? Your shopping trip ended up faster than usual."

She gave me a worried look.

"The Rowdyruff Boys. They're here." She whispered.

Buttercup had heard the conversation between me and Bubbles.

She marched right up to her and shouted, "Where are those jerks?!?!"

"Right here."

We turned around. Butch was standing right in front of Buttercup, glaring at her.

"Who are you callin' a jerk?!!?" he screamed.

Buttercup rolled her eyes. "If you were REALLY listening to our conversation…"

She poked Butch's chest with her mitt.

"…I was talking about you."

I giggled until a fist landed in my face. I flew to the other side of the room and rubbed my head.

Brick glared at me as I slowly stood up.

"Don't laugh. We are NOT jerks."

I rolled my eyes and pointed at the big dent I made in the wall.

"Oh, yeah? If you weren't jerks, THIS wouldn't be here."

Butch was knocked into Brick before he could say anything.

I turned to look at Buttercup, who was red and was marching toward Butch.

She grabbed him by his collar and held him in the air. I was actually kinda scared she would do something horrible to him for a moment.

"Don't you EVER. Mess. With the champion."

…

She was still going on about that?!

Then someone punched me in the stomach. I turned to face Brick, smirking evilly

I scowled and punched him in the face. He put his mitts on his nose. Just enough time to check how Bubbles was doing with Boomer.

She was just standing there, not doing anything. And strange enough, neither was Boomer. I mouthed to her to fight, but she ignored me and continued to stand there.

This had been happening since after we chased the Rowdyruff Boys when we were five.

Did something happen between those two?

Before I could think it any further, Brick had recovered and punched me in the gut.

I caught myself before I could fall and kicked him in the jaw. He took a few steps back and raised his fist to punch me.

I was ready though. He charged at me, but before he could hit my face, I grabbed his fist.

His eyes widened and I gave him a smirk.

I quickly threw him into a music shop that was across the food court. He landed into a rack of CDs and they all covered him.

I hovered above the pile and watched as Brick's head pop out of the heap of CDs.

"What was that for?!?!" he screamed at me.

I rose an eye brow and pointed at Boomer and Bubbles.

He looked behind and his eyes widened as he saw his brother not fighting my sister.

I crossed my arms.

"I guess you're so involved into fighting that you didn't notice your brother NOT DOING ANYTHING."

He looked up at me, thenback at Boomer and yelled, "Boomer!! Get your lazy butt moving and start kickin' the Puff's butt!!"

Boomer still didn't do anything, but I didn't care right now.

"She has a name." I glared at him.

He somehow managed to glare at me and Boomer at the same time.

"Do I care?" he hissed.

"You will when I kick your butt!!" I snarled.

For some reason, lately I have been really protective with my sisters when it came to the Rowdyruff Boys.

I think it might have started when Bubbles refused to fight against her counter-part.

Brick seemed the same way.

When Buttercup or I would say something about them, his face would darken and he would start fighting.

It was just like what he was doing now. His face was dark and he was fighting me.

Oh, the irony. Buttercup told me that that happens to me too.

Brick and I are COMPLETE opposites and here we are, looking like a bunch of dark freaks trying to kill each other for making fun of our siblings.

How I just LOVE my life.

We kept kicking and punching and dodging. You could only see pink and red everywhere.

Finally, we stopped. Brick was holding one of my fists and I was holding one of his fists. I glared at him as he glared at me.

"Brick," I hissed. "You would know me well enough to not mess with me and my sisters after all the times I kicked your butt."

"Blossom," he hissed back. "You should know me well enough to know my brothers and I always get stronger and smarter every time we fight."

He let go of my fist, and I let go of his. But he LIFTED me up and smashed me against a wall,

He jumped on me so I couldn't get away from him.

He glared at me. "See, I can take you on anytime and win if I want to, and I wanna win. So say your prayers Babe!"

I HATED it when he calls me that! I used my feet to kick him in his gut. He flew up and smashed against the ceiling.

I noticed the cracks that were starting to form around him. I quickly sprinted to the other side of the room before the ceiling (and Brick) crashed to the ground.

The clouds of dust made it hard for me to see what was happening. I squinted and saw someone's body emerge from the rubble.

The dust clouds faded and I could see that the body was Brick's. He was still whole.

I frowned. It would have been better if he were gone though.

Brick looked at me. He gave me a weak smirk.

"Blossom," he coughed. "I die hard. There's no way a ceiling can bring me down. I told you I'm getting stronger."

Then I smirked.

"See, Brick? I'm getting stronger too. And from the start, I was already smarter than all three Rowdyruff Boys put together."

But then Brick did something I didn't expect him to do. I thought he would start another fight for mocking the Rowdyruff Boys.

He didn't.

Instead, he collapsed. Brick. Brick was dead.

"No!!" I screamed.

I ran to him and fell on my knees. I cried on Brick. I put my head on him and sobbed, making his clothes wet.

"Brick," I said between sobs. "You can't be dead. You just can't!! Brick!! Wake up! Please…"

I didn't know why I cared. I wanted him dead. I should be happy. But no. Instead, I was crying over Brick's death.

Why? For the first time in my life, I didn't know.

That's because you love him.

Who said that?

It's me! Your conscience.

Okay…But I don't love Brick!!

Of course you do!! Look at how you're acting right now!!

Well…this is the first person I've ever killed. Of course I would be sad!

Yeah, right. You've always loved Brick from the start!

Why would I love that…that…villain?! He's, well, a villain!! He's EVIL!

But you loved him anyway. You loved his red eyes, his red hat, his red hair. You loved him!! Admit it!

Well…

But now he's gone!! Gone forever!

I suddenly remembered Brick's death. For a moment I stopped crying. But I started to cry again.

"Blossom."

I looked down. Brick was smirking weakly at me. His eyes were drooping.

"So, you couldn't live without me, huh?"

Then he smiled a genuine smile. An actual real smile.

"Well, I couldn't live without you."
