Hey there! Okay so this one if from Boomer's POV!
I've never ever wrote from any other charachters pov excpet Brick and Blossom (FTW!) So this is a very interesting for me!

Anyway on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything

"Okay I think Josh you where a bit behind on the second verse and Conor either your vocals need to be louder or we need to sort out our mic man" I said looking at my band and giving them a few pointers.

"It's the mic! I've been telling you for weeks!" Conor says frustrated.

We where pretty good as far as I was concerned a few tweaks here and there but nothing too bad, the gigs kept flowing so all we where waiting for now was to be spotted. Our name was out there and all of Townsville loved us so really it was only a matter of time.

I was on lead guitar and lead vocal seen as no one else really wanted to sing if not only in the background. Josh was an excellent drummer, Conor was on bass and backing vocal and Ben was the other guitarist. We where called 'Rowdy' it was chosen at one random drunken night and it just stuck I guess, well that and the fact our only groupie constantly calls us that, speaking of which...

"Awesome guys!"

I look to the small blond woman sat on the sofa in our band room. Bubbles had always been so supportive of my band when no one else was. She came to a lot of our rehearsals when she wasn't at the cafe and the guys didn't mind her bubbly and energetic charisma it gave us one heck of motivation.

I smiled at her warmly, Bubbles was such a lovely woman any guy would be lucky as hell to have her. I mean sure I've thought about asking her out but come on it's- it's Bubbles! Sweet, gorgeous Bubbles I always felt she was much, much too good for me; Well for any guy really but I knew she deserved better than a wannbe rock star.

We flirted quite often so I got a lot of mixed signals, which occasionally stopped me from perusing the blonde haired beauty. Plus she was my best friend so that was another factor.

The awkwardness.

I couldn't imagine a life with Bubbles not a part of it in some way and if I scared her off for my own selfish reasons it would just be too much. So who knows, I very much would someday like to see me and Bubbles together but with the way our relationship is now? It's far to sacred to snag at it.

But I'm still male and I still have needs.

"Thanks' Bubbles, well I guess we'll finish there guys and I'll see you tonight" I grin, the day of a gig I was always pumped and in a good mood. After we had packed up some of our gear the guys left my apartment where out practiced room was and headed home for a bit.

"So want to go for something to eat? My treat? A kind of good luck for tonight thing" Bubbles asked standing and walking out of the room behind me. I turn and smile at her.

"I would love to Bubs but I need to drop Butch's car off at his apartment before 12" I say glancing at the clock to see it reading 11:37am. Bubbles looks at it too and looking in her eyes I see disappointment? Upset? I slightly tilt my head in confusion before all traces of hurt are wiped clear from her face a smile replacing them.

"Oh okay well could you drop me off at the cafe please?" She asks.

"Of course" I grin before we left my apartment.

After I dropped her off she blows me a kiss as usual and says she will see me tonight before walking away. I sit back in Butch's car at some red lights deep in thought over what occurred between me and Bubbles, I felt a slight headache already start to begin and decide to think about it at a later date, as in after my gig.

Still maybe a girlfriend would be beneficial for me? Just for a bit to help keep my emotions for Bubbles locked up, I mean if she wanted something to happen surly she would have given me more of a hint? I mean come on! I hint all the time with things such as 'we would make a good couple' and 'you'd make one hell of a girlfriend' all in a joking way of course but she never replies to them.

Hmm.

Maybe a girlfriend would be good.

I pull up outside Butch's apartment block clearing my head not thinking about it any longer. I enter Butch's apartment without knocking and see a beautiful brunette sitting on one of the bar stool Butch and Brick have on their breakfast bar.

She turns round at my entrance and her face is flawless, beautiful crystal blues eyes, high cheekbones, pink lips, and perfectly slender eyebrows.

"Oh hi, are you Butch's roommate?" She asks politely.

"Uhm-uhn-hn" I reply not being able to form a sentence, she arches one eyebrow and I laugh getting myself together.

"Em no I'm Boomer, Butch's mate I'm just dropping his car off" I say shaking her hand and showing the car keys at the same time. She smiles at me and I gape at how beautiful she looks, I notice her eyes are the same shade as Bubbles are and how gorgeous their smiles are Bubbles just tipping the bar though but this girl was damn close.

"Oh right, well I'm Rebecca Butch's girlfriend"

Oh burn.

Why is that all the idiots get the good chicks? Maybe this sensitive good guy approach just isn't working the way it did in high school.

Just then said idiots saunders in.

"Oh hey Boom you bring-"

He's cut short when I throw the keys at him, he catches them with ease.

"Cheers man" He says patting me on the back as he passes me.

"Ready to go?" Rebecca asks turning on her stool.

"Sure babe let me just-" He's then cut off by his cell ringing. "Brick?" He says in confusion at the caller ID, he answers the phone looking at me with a perplexed expression I shrug as in the dark as he is. He walks back into the lounge to have his convocation leaving me and Rebecca alone again.

"Oh! Boomer I know you" She says with sudden realisation clicking her fingers I look at her bewildered.

"You do?"

"Well not personally obviously, but Butch was telling me how your in a band. That's so cool! Where coming to see you tonight" She smiles and I smile back.

"Oh really? Good! More the merrier" I grin.

"So what's your band called?" Clearly Butch didn't fill this girl in a lot.

"'Rowdy'" I say and she grins.

"Cool name, I can't wait should be so much fun, hey if you see me give me a wave yeah? I know it might be hard with a crowd of people." She says excitedly, I let out a short laugh and lean on the counter.

"Please should be easy to spot a pretty face like yours" I blurt out. Oh shit why did I just say that? I expected her to walk away or yell at me telling me that she was with Butch but instead she smirked and bit her lip looking at me under her eyelashes... flirtatiously?

"God sake!" Butch yelled coming back into the room, I slightly jump as does Rebecca leaning back. I was unaware that we had gotten closer.

"What's up man?" I ask.

"Brick the ass, he needs me to go to his work something about 'venting frustrations'" Butch says angrily. "You know what stuff it! He can deal with it on his own!" Butch rages, Rebecca then stands up.

"No you should go, he's your friend and he clearly needs you" She says placing a hand on his shoulder Butch just looks at the floor in anger before looking back at her.

"But who's going to take you to your dance class?" He asks, but she just shrugs.

"It's okay I can take the subway" She says, Butch sighs in frustration.

"Okay, Boomer will you go with her?" He asks.

"Why?" Both me and Rebecca say at the same time.

"What? There are some right creeps on the subway and I don't want anyone looking at my girl wrong" Butch says possessively, I see Rebecca roll her eyes annoyed clearly this has happened before.

Before I can agree Butch grabs his keys and barely gives Rebecca a kiss goodbye before dashing out.

The walk to the subway had been an uncomfortable silence, we entered the subway and crammed onto the small tube. Unfortunately we had caught it on the lunch rush so everyone was literally squished in like sardines and Butch was right about the amount of creeps. Rebecca was stood with next to the window with me right (and I mean right) behind her when some old guy pushed right up next to us and tried to slide his arm around her.

"Hey! Back off asshole!" I yell pushing him back and standing around Rebecca protectively.

"Thank you" she says turning round to face me I smile.

"Well Butch would have kicked my ass if he found out I left some perv feel you up" I joke, she suddenly looks upset her eyes lowering to the floor.

"You okay?"

"Yeah just Butch... he just treats me like a prize or something, like something he plays with when he's bored. I guess the spark has gone" She sighs looking defeated and my heart goes out to her, the tube stops and another rush of people barge in juggling us around. Suddenly Rebecca is thrown into me our lips crashing together.

My eyes widen as do hers and we slowly pull back as the tube sets off once more.

"Rebecca I'm so sorry that guy-" She silences me by putting her hand to my lips looking at me deep in my eyes while I stare at her perfectly reflected Bubbles like eyes. I don't know how long we where like that but the tube finally stopped at her destination. She slowly walked off and stopped and looked at me as if she was waiting for me to follow.

I only had seconds before the tube would set off again.

And despite my better judgement I got off the tube and followed her.

Oh. My. Goodness! Bad Boomer! :o
Anyway I know it's short apologises!

But REVIEW and they will be longer!
PLEASE!
