Waiting in line, Blossom and Brick peered up to the top of the Ferris Wheel.
"Never thought I'd see this day," Brick smirked.
"What?" Blossom asked, facing him.
"A Rowdyruff Boy and A Powerpuff Girl hanging out together. Did you ever think it was possible?"
She laughed, hugging her teddy bear. "No, I didn't. But I'm glad that I'm here."
He smiled, pointing behind her. The attendant opened the door for them and they took their seat. Slowly, the Ferris Wheel turned and the entire city came into view.
"I never realized our city was so big," Blossom said, looking out into the horizon.
Brick nodded and leaned back, staring at her. Above them, Him appeared behind a group of clouds and peered down at the couple.
"Now to help them out a bit," he grinned wickedly. And with a twist of a claw, he put his plan into action. The Ferris Wheel stopped so that they were at the top. The stars twinkled above and mingled with the full moon sharing their company. Blossom leaned forward, resting her head in her hands.
"I've seen the city like this a thousand times before, but it's never seemed as beautiful as it does now," she sighed.
"I know the feeling," Brick said, taking hold of her hand. She looked up at him and watched as he scooted closer. "It's weird how you can see something so many times and yet, when you look at it, I mean really see it," he tipped his head, squinting at her, "it looks completely different."
"Brick?"
"It's beautiful," he smiled.
She smiled, a faint blush crossing her cheeks. A flash lit up the sky and she gasped, pointing. "A shooting star! Quick, make a wish!"
She closed her eyes tightly, gripping her stuffed animal. When she opened her eyes, she turned to Brick and asked, "what did you wish for?"
Instead, he grabbed both of her hands. "My wish already came true."
"Shooting stars, cheesy pick up lines, what more could you ask for?" Him said. "Oh! What's this?" Him snickered as he saw the distance between the pair fade. Slowly, their lips met and each brought the other closer. Him laughed manically, vanishing as he growled, "it's time."
They parted and Brick laughed, unbuckled, and grabbed hold of her hand. Blossom looked up at him, eyebrows arched.
"Where are we—?"
But he had already lifted her into the skies and soon they were flying through the midnight air. He turned on his back, waiting for her to catch up before continuing ahead. They flew over the ocean with their reflections waving back at them. She giggled when the waves sprayed lightly and misted them with a glistening blanket.
They soared through the clouds and left a line of haze trailing behind them. He pointed up at the stars and took off. She followed closely behind and found that they were entering space. Glancing behind, Earth floated aimlessly in the vast ocean of stars. A light tap on the shoulder and she turned to find Brick with a hand extended. She took it and they were off again, grazing the stars' everlasting light.
Before she knew it their bodies were mingling, drifting and circling around one another. A dance like no other, they became one as he grabbed her hands and pulled her atop him, landing her in another kiss.
Far away, Buttercup paced the floor of her bedroom.
"I don't get it! Where could she be?"
"Maybe she really is with Brick?" Bubbles suggested.
"Don't be ridiculous!"
"I told you your sister is with our brother!" Butch accused.
"Oh, shut up!" Buttercup snapped. "Tell me again why they are here?"
"Well both Blossom and Brick are missing. If one is found, most likely the other will be too," Bubbles pointed out. "So until that happens, we all need to get along."
Buttercup growled, mumbling obscenities under her breath. Butch laughed at her anger to which she tackled him off the bed and onto the floor. As they rolled across the carpet, fighting, Boomer stepped up to Bubbles. "So what do we do now?"
"I don't know," she whimpered, her shoulders dropping, "Blossom usually comes up with the plans."
"Don't be sad. We'll find your sister just like we'll find my brother," Boomer beamed.
She sniffled and fell to her knees, but looked up at him. "You really think so?"
He nodded and placed a hand on her shoulder but behind him, Butch crossed his arms. "What are you doing? She's a Powerpuff Girl. You aren't supposed to be nice to her!"
"Well she misses her sister just like we miss Brick," Boomer shrugged.
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean she has to act like a big baby about it!" Buttercup added.
"Exactly," Butch agreed.
Bubbles and Boomer both crossed their arms, Bubbles shouted, "I am not a baby!" while Boomer, too, said, "she is not a baby!"
Butch and Buttercup laughed before turning on a video game and flopping down on the bed. Bubbles pulled out paper and crayons and began drawing. Boomer stepped forward and smiled shyly, waving. She blinked, but smiled and patted the floor beside her.
Buttercup stuffed a chicken leg in her mouth. Bubbles and Boomer's laughter rang in her ears. She glared at the two, sneering. "Can you believe those two? They're going all lovey-dovey on us."
"I know, it's sick," Butch gagged.
"I mean why even bother loving someone? They're only going to lie to you and rip your heart out in the end anyways!"
"Yeah," Butch nodded, "if you ask me, all of that frilly, girly love is just sickening."
"Exactly. To me, love is wrestling around and watching scary movies together."
"Yeah! And playing video games and pigging out!"
Buttercup nodded but looked down at the greasy chicken legs and the game controllers resting in her and Butch's lap. "Um…isn't that what we're doing?"
"Nah, we're just—" He stopped and looked down, seeing that she was right. He gulped, looking up at Buttercup. Both laughed nervously.
"Look, Bubbles!" Boomer held up a picture. "I drew you a flower!"
"That's very pretty, Boomer," she giggled. "I drew you…" She held up her picture to find that it was the exact same flower. They paused before bursting into laughter. Bubbles stopped laughing, though, when she glanced out the window behind him.
"Hey, what's that?"
Looking out the window, he gasped. A blood-red cloud floated above Townsville. Bubbles, Boomer, Butch, and Buttercup flew outside to get a better look.
A crack of thunder echoed through the skies and immediately, tentacles of mist snapped out of the cloud and lingered throughout the town. Each one entered the windows of every house, crawled up to every citizen, and dissolved into their skin. Outside, it attacked everyone on the streets. Bubbles gasped as she saw everyone affected by the crimson mist collapse where they stood.
"What's happening?" she cried, shrinking back towards Boomer who held her gently.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out," Buttercup said before flying away. Scanning the sky, she could see nothing at first. That is, until a mind-splitting laughter shattered the silent night. Behind her, Him appeared.
"Hello, Powerpuff Girls! Enjoying the show?"
A/N
Just when things were getting sweet, Him had to go and ruin it! Every time I write about Him, I always feel like I am grammatically challenged :D. Someone thought that Buttercup and Bubbles should end up with Butch and Boomer and I don't think that they could be more right ^-^
