Hello darlings c; I wanna thank you all again for reviewing! you all are terrific, and i really do appreciate it! So without further ado, BLUES! :D
I own nothing.
Bubbles watched as the ground below her vanished, and slowly, she was lifted into the air. Her eyes were fixated on one of the wings on the plane outside her window. It shook a little in take off, but was now still, as it glided through clouds.
She felt her red eyes moisten again, and she tried to keep her whimpers silent as the tears slid down her porcelain cheeks. Boomer was fiddling with a complex device next to her, his eyebrows scrunched together in concentration. He didn't seem to notice her, and it only made Bubbles feel even more alone.
She was on a plane to London, England, millions of miles away from both of her sisters and the professor. All of her friends would be getting up in a couple of hours, going to school and living their everyday lives.
She wiped her eyes and sniffled, the thought alone troubling her further. It all came so quickly, and the fact that everyone else seemed so 'okay' with it only made it worse. Was she that much of a wimp? Could she really not pull herself together in such a time of need?
No. She would not be a wimp. She would be strong, like Buttercup, and confident, like Blossom. She would not be the whiny blonde, who's emotions only got in the way, and made things worse. She wiped the wetness off her cheeks. Heck, her counterpart, who shared all the same traits as Bubbles seemed to be fine.
She sneaked a glance at Boomer, and jumped when she found his eyes staring back at her. His eyes were wide, as if startled by Bubbles unprofessional state. The device in his hands beeped red, but he didn't seem to notice, his full attention on Bubbles. She averted her eyes to the floor. Something about his eyes staring into hers made her stomach twist uneasily. She didn't like it.
Boomer averted his eyes away bashfully. He didn't really know how to comfort someone. It wasn't really on his list of things to learn as a kid. Quite the opposite, actually. Still, she looked pretty upset. Even if she was trying to hide it, He could tell. She did the same thing he did when he cried; she furrowed her eyebrows, and her eyes stared at the floor.
Boomer decided he might as well try, considering he'd have to be dealing with this kind of stuff a lot from now on.
He reached over silently, and rested his hand over her back. She flinched at the contact, and her ice blue eyes widened toward him. They questioned his sanity, and he chuckled a little, not really sure himself. He slowly and cautiously started rubbing her back comfortingly. She rose an eyebrow.
"What are you doing?" She asked. Boomer shrugged, and looked out the little window behind her. The sun was rising, making the sky around them all types of shades of pink, purple, and orange. She followed his gaze.
"I don't really know. I just figured, were all each others got. Ya know?" He said offhandedly, his hand still rubbing her back. They were still staring out their window. He watched her nod her head slowly, unsure.
"...And, this is gonna take a long time. So i just thought, were gonna have to get along for awhile. Otherwise we'd just be miserable the whole time." He finished. Bubbles turned to him.
"Do you think we can do this?" She asked suddenly, her voice weak, and small. His mind flashed back to when they were 5, and Bubbles was once again that innocent little girl, who just wanted everyone to get along. He smiled.
"Yeah. I do. Me and my brothers have a lot of um, friends...and we're still considered, uh, evil. So as long as everyone sees us as people who won't, you know, interfere with their plan, were in the clear." He said confidently. He patted her back briefly before going back to softly rubbing it. She sniffled.
"But what about me and my sisters? Were not exactly known as villains." She said, tears welling up. he sighed, and scooted closer to her, rubbing her back more frequently.
"Bubbles, don't worry about that. Where were going, no one knows who you are. They only know about me. As long as you go along with it, and play the part, you'll be fine. Are you a good actress?" He asked. She shrugged.
"I guess. I was in 3 plays last semester." She offered. Boomer smiled, and squeezed her shoulder. She still seemed a little uncomfortable with the interaction between them, but didn't move away.
"See? You'll be fine. And before you know it, you'll be back at home with your sisters and dad, and we'll be back to hating each other and beating each other to a bloody pulp." He said cheerfully. She laughed and punched him in the shoulder playfully.
"Can't wait." She joked.
Boomer laughed.
Hours later, Bubbles slept quietly next to Boomer. Their window's blinds were pooled so they could sleep soundly without the sun streaming into their eyes. One of the flight attendants had came by, offering the, 'happy couple' a blanket to share. Bubbles was asleep during that whole episode, but Boomer had so happily declined, and asked for two. The attendant had apologized profusely, saying things such as, 'I just thought since you guys look so cute,' yadayadayada. Boomer rolled his eyes. They looked like twins if anything. Stupid people.
Boomer returned his attention to the device in his hand. It blinked red repeatedly. Boomer sighed. 'Ten bucks its Butch.' He thought to himself, opening the screen with his pass code. 'Butch' flashed across the screen in an emerald green light.
"Yep." He muttered quietly. He hit 'approve' and the message popped in.
'Did you use your charms, baby brother?' Boomer rolled his eyes.
'What do you think, dumb ass? It's what Brick instructed isn't it? Hows yours going?' He responded. Boomer smiled smugly. He knew Butch had to be hating life right now. His screen blinked green.
'Shut up, asshole. You know damn well how its going.'
Boomer chuckled to himself, and closed his eyes, sleep overpowering him.
