Don't Fall For me

Chapter Seventeen

It was around seven in the evening as Buttercup slowly opened the door, peeking in first, making sure her sisters weren't there to see. Much to her dismay, they were. They were there, looking directly at the flustered Buttercup. She let out a small shriek as she went in. Blossom was the first to say something.

"Buttercup, Where were you?"

"Uhm…"

"Like you don't know Blossom. She and Butch were together. They were on a date as Buttercup finally had her first kiss!" Bubbles butt in. By that kind of comment, Blossom covered her mouth. Buttercup looked at her sisters, she finally figured out everything.

"You followed me, huh?"

"I…"

Buttercup laughed, she didn't seem mad or anything. "Blossom, you're really something, To be so overly-protective of me. Thanks." She said, lying down on the sofa. Blossom was dumbfounded, she smiled after seeing Buttercup be so cheery for once.

"So, first boyfriend?" Bubbles asked, wanting to know more of the details. Buttercup looked down, hands behind her head. "Y-yeah?" She answered quietly. Bubbles giggled, asking more.

Buttercup eyed Blossom who was making her towards the bedroom. She looked more and more worried of her reaction than anyone else's.

Meanwhile.

Brick was eating ice cream as he sees his brother humming. Boomer was also in the living room, being speechless over seeing Butch look and sound so happy. It took them a while to stop starring and to actually say something.

"Butch, what's gotten into you?" Brick asked, as he scooped more ice cream into his spoon. Butch looked as he smiled at his two brothers. "Seriously, you're even smiling. What the fuck happened?" Brick added. Boomer was still sitting there speechless. "It's nothing, you'll know sooner or later." Butch answered, getting up. Brick and Boomer could only look at each other as their brother left the living room.

"You think something's up?" Boomer asked.

"Yeah, I haven't seen that guy that happy ever since he met Karin."

"You kidding me? He wasn't that happy with Karin. He was so depressed when he was so obsessed with her, wanting her more and more."

"Yeah. This is different. Another girl perhaps?"

And their conversation went on and on.

Butch, who was comfortably lying on his bed, had thoughts regarding what happened. He smiled as he remembered the things he and Buttercup did. He admitted to himself that it was his first time getting a girlfriend and actually having fun with her. He laughed, remembering Buttercup's flustered face.

The Next Day.

Buttercup, Bubbles and Blossom were spending the afternoon together. They went to different kinds of shops, looking at dresses, food and other things. Blossom bought a seemingly large amount of books as Bubbles did so with dresses. Buttercup on the other hand, was looking more bored than ever.

"Don't be like that, Buttercup! Buy stuff!" Bubbles said, trying to lighten her mood.

"I wish I could. It ain't easy you know. I don't have the money." She answered, sighing as she followed her two sisters.

"Well, how about I buy them instead?" A familiar voice intervened, as Buttercup looked behind her. She saw the ever so tall and handsome Drake standing behind her, smiling. Blossom stopped at her feet and glared. Bubbles waved shyly as she backed away, leaving Buttercup and Drake to talk.

"You don't have to. By the way, why are you here?" Buttercup asked.

"I don't know either. It was getting boring just staying inside the house, so I decided to go out for a change." He explained.

And the two chatted for a while.

Blossom looked at two, carefully eyeing Drake's every move and expression. Bubbles also had a stern look, getting ready to fend off the guy. Buttercup took a second to realize her sisters practically glaring at the two of them, as she ends the conversation with a sweet smile.

Drake waved as he slowly walked off. Making sure he was gone, Buttercup looked at the guy's retreating figure before turning to her sisters. She was mad at the two, giving back their glares.

"You should have waited for him to leave. Glaring isn't nice." Buttercup said. Blossom stomped her feet, going to another shop. She seemed to be in a bad mood. Bubbles dropped her mean look, replacing it with a more worried look. Buttercup tilted her head, looking at her sister more closely, as if wanting her to explain what's wrong.

Bubbles' cheeks began to glow, she opened her mouth slightly. "Well, she's mostly pissed because she doesn't want you flirting with other men, especially since you have a boyfriend now." She said calmly.

Buttercup gritted her teeth. "What? I wasn't flirting! I was just talking to the guy!" She exclaimed, something that Bubbles was afraid of. She was always scared of Buttercup getting so angry and worked up. "I'm sorry." She whispered out of fear. Buttercup then calmed down, sighing.

Bubbles then headed towards where Blossom was. Too anxious on seeing her angry sister again, Buttercup didn't follow. She stepped and turned back, headed towards the exit. There she found Drake, standing so casually while whistling. He looked at the girl as he stopped whistling. "Fight?" He asked. But before he could hear her response he quickly stepped up to her and held her close. Buttercup looked down. "Am I really that idiotic? Why are my sisters always so protective and careful of me? I can take f myself." She said, making Drake hold unto her more.

It wasn't long before Bubbles and Blossom found out Buttercup wasn't anywhere to be seen. Blossom cursed, telling herself how stupid she was for doing that to her sister. She ran to the exit, with Bubbles following. As they both reached there, Buttercup was still nowhere to be seen.

They searched the entire mall, up and down, left to right.

Blossom was getting more worried as she falls down to see Butch who had accidentally bumped into her. Brick and Boomer appeared behind him as Brick gave the girl a hand.

"Have you seen Buttercup?" Blossom quickly asked.

Butch raised an eyebrow. "No, haven't seen her. Wait, she's missing?"

"More likely. We had a fight and well, she was suddenly gone."

"Maybe she went back home?" Brick suggested. Blossom sighed. She wanted to believe him.

Meanwhile, as Buttercup tells her dear friend Drake everything that happened, things became calmer now. "Feeling better?" The boy asked, Buttercup smiled as she nodded.

"It makes me… want to move out." She whispered. Drake patted the girl's head as she looked up. "Why not? I have an extra room." He said. "That's nice but…"

"I also have news." Drake interrupted.

Hearing that kind of tone could be bad, Buttercup thought. His smile was gone as he brought the news up. Buttercup didn't show any emotion as she heard Drake explain everything.

"So, he's coming here to get me, huh?"

"Well, he's more likely coming here to arrange the marriage."

"You couldn't do anything about it? I thought you didn't want to marry me?"

"Well, you see…"

"Drake?"

"It seems that I've fallen for you."
