"You don't seriously trust them do you?" Blade whispered to Blaze while we were walking ahead of them trying to find a nice shade spot.
My sisters and I shared looks, we have superhearing, and it's hard not to hear what people say behind your back.
"I mean they look almost exactly like those Punks. Who's to say they aren't like them?" Blade asked. Blaze sighed.
"You really like fighting don't you. Alright look who do you think is stronger us or them?" Blaze asked.
"Us of course." Blade said.
I saw Buttercup tense and clentch her jaw. You never ever say your stronger than Buttercup, ever. She will fucking end you. That's her mosty deadly sin, pride.
"Buttercup, don't." Blossom warned.
"But that little son of a-" Buttercup spat.
"Buttercup, don't." Blossom said more sternly.
"So? What do you have to be worried about?" Blaze said to Blade.
He caught up to me and swung his arm around my shoulder.
"So, what are we doin'?" he asked me.
"Um.. I dunno. We could play beach volleyball, or just relax in the sun listening to music, I brought my iPod. Or we could go swimming." I said smiling.
"How about we stop here and lay out our towels. This is the closest place we'll have for shade." Blossom said.
"M'kay." I said removing Blaze's arm from my shoulder and getting my towel from my beach bag.
I layed my towel out perfectly flat, I even got down on my knees to smooth out the wrinkles. I have a little OCD about keeping things neat and organized. My sisters started removing their clothes so I did the same.
Buttercup is wearing a light-green and black polk-a-dot bikini and Blossom is wearing a cherry blossom pink bikini. My stupid shirt caught on my bracelet.
"Ah, Blossom help! Attack of the shirt!" I yelled walking over to her, from what I could see through the arm hole.
Blossom laughed, "How does this even happen?" she asked tugging on the shirt freeing my head.
"I dunno! My bracelet got caught on the fabric." I said.
She sighed, "Then don't wear charm bracelets to the beach." Buttercup said.
"Oh, shut up. I don't see you helping." I said.
"Ugh! Bloss, move." Buttercup said.
"Hey that was rude." I said frowning at my sister.
"Do you want the shirt removed from your wrist or not." she said impatiently.
I rolled my eyes. She fiddled with my wrist, got the bracelet off along with my shirt.
"Yay! I'm free." I said.
Buttercup untangled my bracelet from my shirt and gave it back to me. It's a charm bracelet. Abby and I bought eachother one when we were in 7th grade, and added 2 charms every year for our birthday.
"Thanks." I said.
She shrugged. I shimmied out of my jean shorts and stuffed them in my bag along with my shirt. I kicked off my flats and collasped on my towel.
My head hit the ground pretty hard I sat up and rubbed my head.
"Okay, that wasn't smart." I said.
Everyone laughed. "I'm bored. Anyone up for volleyball?" Blossom asked.
"Sure, Bloss." I said standing up, every one nodded and said their yes's.
"We'll go get the net ready." I said grabbing Blaster's wrist pulling him along.
"C'mon slow poke." I said giggling.
"Okay that was wierd he usually isn't like that." I heard Blaze say.
Again with the super hearing. Ugh! Blaster is on the far left side steaking the net in and I'm on the far right side. I tie the other string to a tree, and Blaster ties his to a light post.
"What do you mean?" Buttercup asks.
"Our brother doesn't usually... Oh what do you care?" Blade said to Buttercup.
Uh-oh a fight is starting.
"What is your problem?!" Buttercup asked hands on hips, getting in a fighting stance.
"You just look alot like a really pushy girl that I despise!" Blade yelled back to her.
"Well, I'm not her! And I think your just mad because you know my sisters and I are better than you!" Buttercup yelled back.
Blaster and I ran back to our siblings.
"Anything you can do, I can to 100 times better, Bitch!" Blade yelled.
"Ha! Yeah right, I can do better than you any day." Buttercup yelled back.
"Oh, yeah prove it!" Blade said.
They are in each other's faces, Buttercup's flushing in anger.
"Alright. That's enough, Buttercup if you want to fight go somwhere else, this is not the time or place to have a battle just to prove yourself. You are 16, act your age." Blossom yelled at her.
"Act my age! Who says I'm not! He's the one with the problem, not me." Buttercup yelled in defence.
"Really? Do you seriously need me to explain to you what 'act your age' means? You are acting like a spoiled tattle-tale." Blossom yelled at her hands on hips.
"Yeah well at least I don't have a rod up my ass every damn day!" Buttercup yelled to Blossom.
"At least I have a brain!" Blossom yelled.
My jaw dropped. "I am not stupid! If anyone's the stupid one it's Bubbles! She's just screaming niave!" Buttercup yelled.
"Hey!" I yelled.
I was ignored as usual. "Don't call her stupid. She's smarter than you! At least she knows how to act in public!" Blossom yelled defending me.
And they continued like that for 3 freaking minutes, finally I got tired of it.
"Stop it! Both of you just shut the hell up!" I screamed.
They grew silent, "We are not here to fight with each other, we are here to show these guys around. Both of you are being very rude to them, now apologize." I said in exasperation. It was like I didn't say anything, they just went back to fighting.
The guys came over to my side.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. You probably have better things to do than watch my sisters fight, and me breaking down because of it." I said shoving down the tears that want to surface.
Their voices rose and they started using their powers against each other. I screamed in fustration and flew right in the middle of it, I got hit but I didn't care. I groaned on the sandy beach but picked my self up. I got hit across the stomach, making the sand bloody.
"Bubbles! What do you think your doing? You could have gotten seriously hurt." Blossom said rushing to my aid.
I was in full cry mode, "I-I just wanted you to stop fighting. It's all you ever do. I just wanted it to stop." I said.
Buttercup spins me around hands on my shoulders.
"What the hell?!" Buttercup said to me voice in cold sterness.
"I just wanted it to stop. Can't you see with the fights you pick your tearing us apart?" I ask her.
She hardens her look, jaw tenseing.
"Just let me ask you this. Does the word 'sister' mean anything to you?" I ask defiance in my eyes.
She opens her mouth to say something but no words some out. I hang my head and shake my head, I pull off her arms and wipe my eyes and noise with my forearm. I flew off not caring where I'll end up.
Blaze's P.O.V
Buttercup screamed in fustration and flew off somewhere.
Blossom cleared her throat, "Sorry about that guys. Bubbles was right we were being rude, I apologize. So, would you mind helping me find my sister?" Blossom asked.
"Which one?" Blaster asked with a smile.
I swear I just wanted to hit him, why is he so cocky?
"Bubbles, she needs me more right now. As for Buttercup." she sighed, "I honestly don't care where she is." she said.
Ouch! "Yeah, we'll help you." I said.
"Oh, thank you. Um.. lets see. She usually likes to go in the forest, or to the park. But her favorite place is the beach, and I don't think she's here. Unless she's at the cliffs." Blossom said.
"Alright, I'll check the cliffs. You and Blade check the forest and Blaster can check the park." I said.
We all agreed and went our separate ways. I almost flew right past her, her snifflels are what got me to stop and look. I don't like this side of her. The sad part. I've only know this girl for like 4hrs and I can't stand to see her when she cries.
It's kind of heartbreaking. She's really fun to be around, I don't know why I waited this long to meet her. I like the way she smiles, I brightens any mood. But now she's frowning as she cries. It makes me want to burst into tears along with her. The wind blew, her hair danced in it then it stopped and rested on her back. I doubt she even noticed the cold. When I met her at first I thought she was Brat, but she was dressed well normal. Like any other teen. I imedeatly felt guilty for shooting that fire ball. Damn Brute! When I helped her up her hair shined in the sunlight making it look like gold. It was pretty. And I haven't seen many pretty things. Not in a long time. Then she opened her eyes and looked at me, her eyes were so blue. Icy blue, like aquamarine and the most beautiful things I have ever seen. And I thought her hair was pretty. When she asked me if I came from the mirror I could see she wanted me to say no. I chuckled when she said, "What is it with all these mirror people?"
She is humorous. Joyful. Well she is the Joy and Laughter of the Powerpuff Girls, Blossom is the Comander and Leader and Buttercup is the Toughest Fighter. It wasn't that difficult to figure out. I could tell that Blossom and Buttercup fight a lot, just by looking at Bubbles's face. I walk up to her and put my hand on her shoulder, she looks up and smiles at me.
End of Blaze's P.O.V
I ended going to the far side or the beach where all the rocks and cliffs are. I'm sitting at the edge of one, my left leg proped up my left arm draping over it, resting my head on it while my right leg is swinging off the edge and I'm picking grass with my right hand. I'm sniffing and trying to get myself to stop crying. I shiver against the cold wind that's up here. Then a warm hand touches my shouder, I look up to see Blaze. I smile at him.
"Hey, sorry about before." I said wiping a tear.
"Don't worry about it. Fights between sisters happen. Its a girl thing." he said smiling.
I giggled. "C-Can I hug you?" I asked him.
He smiled warmly and spread his arms wide open, "Bring it in." he said.
I giggled and crawled over to him and got into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me.
"Gosh you are cold as ice. How could you not feel it." he asked.
I shrugged, "I didn't know I was cold. I've become numb to it." I said.
"Are you alright?" he asks.
"Yeah, she'll make it up to me later. It's just she just stood there and didn't say anything. I know I mean a lot to her, Blossom and I mean a lot to her, she's just stubborn to show affection. It's like I know you love me but would it kill you to tell me or show me in some way? Nope, don't ever ask her that. She'll get all defensive and go on a killing spree. Okay not killing but she'll beat up guys at like a bar or something." I said.
He chuckled. "How often do your sisters fight?" he asked.
I sighed, "Well not as much as they used to when we were little, but now that we're older they use fancy words or use their powers against each other. And that scares me, given Buttercup is the toughest figher, she could end up killing Blossom. That's why I intervened when I did." I said.
"Oh. Speaking of, where did you get hit?" he asked.
I wriggled out of his embrace for a moment, "Across my stomach. It stopped bleeding and the blood's dry, but it stings a little because sand got in it." I said showing him a 6in gash across my stomach speckled with blood and sand.
"C'mon we should get back to the others." he said.
I nodded. He helped me up, I thanked him and we flew off. We got back to the beach and everyone was there, even Buttercup. I ran to her and hugged her, she picked me up a little.
"I'm sorry Baby." she whispered to me. I nodded.
Blossom hugged me too, "Group hug!" I said giggling as I yanked Blaze down and Blaster to join the hug.
"Oh, c'mon Blade. You know you want to." I said giggling holing out my hand to him.
"No thanks, I don't do hugs." he said.
I yanked him by his hand, "Now you do." I said.
We all laughed, then we actually played a game of volleyball. Girls vs Guys was one game, 2 girls and 1 guy, 2 girls and 1 guy a different game. That game had me Blaze and Blaster on the team and Blossom, Blade, and Buttercup were on the other. We had so much fun, but now I'm beat so I'm relaxing on my blanket.
"C'mon Bubbles. Time to go home, Professor has dinner waiting." Blossom said as she put back on her white tank top and jean shorts. Buttercup put her black tank top
back on and her dark blue shorts. "Okay." I said then put back on my white muscle shirt and light blue shorts.
"Wanna join us for dinner?" I ask them.
"Sure. We've got no where to go and don't know how to get back so I guess your stuck with us." Blade said smirking.
I giggled, "I guess your right. Well c'mon then." I said tugging Blade and Blaze along. They smiled and Blaze pulled me back and picked me up bridal side, I screamed then I was laughing. I put my arms around his neck and clasped my hands together.
"You know I'm capable of flying, right?" I asked.
"Yeah." he said. I giggled and we all took off, Blossom carried the bags and towels.
