Brick's Epiphany & Blossom's Revenge

AK: So... You guys are making my day! So I'll make yours. How about a Paramore chapter?

Blossom: Paramore! Yes!

AK: Maybe...

Brick: Fuck!

Bubbles bouncing on his bed was not the way Brick wanted to wake up. Just because she was engaged to his sissy brother, Boomer, didn't mean he wanted the baby blue powderpuff harassing him.

"Brick! I have something to show you!" she whined.

"Go away..." he muttered. I wanna sleep until Blossom comes back, he silently added.

"Brick, it's about Blossom!" Bubbles said the magic words.

Brick shot up and grabbed her around the waist. "Show me."

Twenty minutes later, his lap top was logged onto YouTube, and he was watching a tour concert for Pink Carnage.

He'd gone with Blossom to one of their concerts in Bali. They were great, but he wasn't a rocker, despite his image. Blossom was their biggest fan.

Bubbles skipped to the middle.

"Alright, London!" Felicity yelled. "I gotta take a breather. So my friend and her band will be taking over. But we'll be back and rockin' in a while."

PC slowly left the stage and a girl with black hair, streaked with purple and pink, and tied back in two pigtails, took the mike.

"Hello, London! I am Tanya, and we are Chronic Purple. We play all the greatest songs we know and tonight, we're doing a salute to Paramore and Pink Carnage! With help from the most super fan PC has, and our temp lead singer member, Blossom Utonium!"

On cue, Blossom stepped from the shadows and flashed the rock 'n' roll devil horns at the audience and store up to Tanya.

Giving her a big hug, she smiled. "Thanks for the intro."

"No problem." Tanya winked. "Wanna introduce the band?"

"You bet! You know her and just heard her, Chronic Purple's lead guitarist and the female lead singer, Tanya!"

Sometime during the walk over, someone had handed her a deep purple Carolyn Cord electric guitar. She struck a few cords expertly.

"Give it up for our Ace on base, Julian Orion!" Blossom cheered, pointing at an ebony haired teen who, in turn, played a short piece on his midnight blue Vincent Volley bass guitar. He then winked at Blossom.

Brick ground his teeth in jealousy.

Blossom went on. "And banging drums since '92, Theo Orion."

The curly haired brunette boy gave a short drum solo and pointed a stick at Blossom. "Love ya, babe."

"Did I mention he's a flirt? And last but not least on keyboard, Nadia Sparks."

The attractive, bespectacled blonde smiled and ran her fingers down the keys from low notes to high. "Righteous."

Blossom smiled and said, "Now let's rock out with 'Monster'!"

Tanya began the cords to the song the Paramore song.

Blossom closed her eyes, sighed slowly and then opened her eyes. They were blood red! Brick blinked. They were almost like his.

"You were my conscience," Blossom sang, her voice almost identical to Hayley Williams. "So solid, now you're like water

And we started drowning, not like we'd sink any further

But I let my heart go, it's somewhere down at the bottom

But I'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world

From turning into a monster and eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder how we survive?

Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me

But I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching.

Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims

And they're getting stronger

I hear them calling.

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world

From turning into a monster, and eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder how we survive?

Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

Well you find your strength in solution

But I liked the tension

And not always knowing the answers

But you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world

From turning into a monster, and eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder how we survive?

Well now that you're gone, the world...

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world

From turning into a monster, eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder how we survive?

Now that you're gone, the world is ours..."

The crowd erupted in cheers and shrieks of happiness. "Alright, folks, here's Pink Carnage's 'Daydream Lies'!" Blossom panted.

The song was mostly about a girl who falls asleep beneath a tree, and dreams of her relationship with her boyfriend. It was kind of based like a Paramore song, only more rock base.

The song ended and Tanya's singing voice pattered out.

"And now for 'Let the Flames Begin'..."

Theo, Julian and Tanya began on point.

"What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things.

A memory remains just a tiny spark.

I give it all my oxygen,

To let the flames begin

To let the flames begin.

Oh, glory.

Oh, glory.

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down.

This is what will be oh glory.

Somewhere weakness is our strength,

And I'll die searching for it.

I can't let myself regret such selfishness.

My pain and all the trouble caused,

No matter how long

I believe that there's hope

Buried beneath it all and

Hiding beneath it all, and

Growing beneath it all, and...

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it.

This is how we'll stand when

When they burn our houses down.

This is what will be oh glory.

Reaching as I sink down into light.

Reaching as I sink down into light.

This is how we dance when,

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it.

This is how we'll stand when,

When they burn our houses down.

This is what will be oh glory."

Blossom's voice faded out.

Several more songs followed and Tanya and Blossom switched out each and every time. Finally, PC came back.

"Wow, it only took half an hour to win London over imagine what you guys will do with your own songs." Felicity beamed at them.

"Thanks for the chance, Liss." Tanya grinned. "One day, we'll be as big as PC. Count on it."

And that's where the YouTube video ended.

"She's in London?!" Brick demanded.

"Or touring with Pink Carnage on the Pink & Purple Vortex Tour around Europe. They're stopping here tomorrow then heading out to Quebec." Raven informed them, waltzing into the room with Beast Boy close behind.

The green shapeshifter was holding a hat box, three shoe boxes an armload of shopping bags and a skateboard.

"You could knock." Brick pointedly stated to both Bubbles and Raven.

"I did. You didn't answer." Raven stated.

"And I took Boomer's key."

Why he even bothered to put a lock on his apartment was beyond him.

Sighing, he asked, "So we wait till they stop by Townsville?"

"Yeah, but did you see her Facebook status?" BB said.

When Brick shook his head, BB dropped everything to take out his phone. After scrolling, tapping and some other actions, he handed it to Brick.

BLOSSOM UTONIUM is IN A RELATIONSHIP.

Brick's whole world felt off kilter. He didn't speak, just flew. Out of his apartment, out of Townsville and onto Monster Island.

It was understandable really, that Blossom would get snatched away. It was his own fault. He hadn't made a move. He had expected friendship to be enough. And while it had been a Godsend for him, it had probably been torturous to her.

She'd been gone for weeks now. And he'd cut himself off, content to give her some time. He hadn't even checked her fucking status, even though he'd kill to know how she was. And now he was depressed she'd gotten a boyfriend... He didn't deserve to be, but he was. And he knew just what to do with the feeling.

He threw a tantrum. He broke stuff. It started raining but he didn't care. He scared some monsters with his ferocious attitude, wet red hair hiding most of his face. He drilled holes into Mount Monster. And when he was exhausted, he flopped back on a cliff and cried.

~Next Day~

Blossom flew around Townsville, happy and alight with energy. She swooped, twirled and glided through the air and clouds, happy to be back in town.

Her dad had been so happy to see her in person rather than video chat. Her sisters would, by now, have checked every one of her favorite places for her. She'd touched base with Raven and Crow, who had worked up the nerve to ask out Nova.

She'd even said hi to the criminals in the jail who had, oddly, missed her.

She floated on air as she neared Monster Island to greet the friendly inhabitants.

Landing beach side, she walked the rest of the way. "Rapterior! Terrorizer the Malifescent... Where are you...?" A few thundering footsteps later, and her scaly friends were cowering before her.

"B- Blossom, thank goodness! Some kind of red devil monster has been causing trouble. We can't find him anywhere, though! He may have gone into town!" Raptor said.

Blossom raised a brow. "But I was just in town. I saw no monsters."

"He was person sized. And looked kind of like Brick. But every time we called him that he grunted and broke stuff." Terrorizer said.

Blossom frowned. "Brick? I have a theory... Don't worry, you guys, after tonight that red devil monster won't be around. I intend to make painfully sure of it."

AK: What could Blossom mean? Is she going to hurt Brick? Forgive him? Does she have a boyfriend? Is it Julian? Is it Theo?

Brick: Why am I a red-devil-monster?!

AK: Deal! Also, what other pairings do you want to read from me. Review with suggestions. PS: I favor traditional pairings.
