Chapter 3: October 31, 2006
"So he's still asking you on dates?" Bubbles asked Blossom in homeroom. Blossom ran a hand through her hair and sighed.
"Yes," she answered, "Because the last date was horrible."
"What date?"
"The one I agreed to, to decide whether I should give him another chance to show he wasn't so bad anymore. And he totally screwed that up."
"What happened?"
"So many things wrong: He took me to a really nice restaurant," Blossom started.
"Aw how sweet!" Bubbles giggled.
"You haven't heard all of it yet," Blossom pointed out, "I had to pay for it because he 'forgot' his wallet."
"What if he really did forget his wallet?" Bubbles suggested.
"I... don't think that..." Blossom stuttered.
"It could be reasonable?" Bubbles finished for her, "And that you should give him a chance again because you shouldn't assume things and he might be really nice?" Blossom smiled at Bubbles' effort for her to give Brick a chance.
::::::::
It was lunchtime and Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup, and Boomer were all sitting on the same table. Blossom was retelling her date with Brick because Boomer and Buttercup had asked.
"No way! Brick would never do that," Boomer assured.
"But he did..." Blossom commented.
"Why don't you give him another chance?" Bubbles brought up again.
"I think you should," Boomer advised. Then Brick walked up to them.
"Blossom can I talk to you?" he asked her. She stood up.
"Sorry Brick, I've got to go," she began. Brick held her hand to stop her. Her eyes lowered, trying to avoid eye contact.
"Can I talk to you later then?" he asked softly. Blossom softly sighed.
"Sure." She walked away. Brick sighed loudly and sat down with Boomer, Bubbles, and Buttercup.
"Is she mad at me?" he asked them. They all quickly did something to avoid answering his question.
"Gotta study for that History test," Bubbles mumbled, hiding her face behind a textbook.
"Oh look at the time, I have to finish my homework for next period," Boomer lied, writing random words on a paper. Instead of talking, Buttercup stuffed her mouth with her sandwich as an excuse not to talk.
"So she is mad at me," Brick assumed by their actions, "What do I do?"
Buttercup swallowed her food. "Well you don't make her pay for dinner," she laughed.
"I forgot my wallet!" Brick argued then sighed knowing he was wrong.
"So how do I fix it?" he asked again.
"Start by being... more behaved and, less lazy or so laid back," Boomer instructed.
"Alright..." Brick said as he stood up, "Let's hope she gives me another chance." He walked away to find her.
:::::::::: Walking Home
"We should catch up on things," Butch said, trying to convince Buttercup.
"I don't think so," she answered. She kept on walking trying to ignore him.
"Come on, you'll never know until you try," he said.
"How many times must I say it?" She stopped suddenly and turned around to look at him, "No, no, never, ever, ever will I ever go out with you, got it?"
"You are one hard chick to get through."
"Yeah well get used to it," she said coldly. She started to walk off again and yet he still followed her.
"Stalker!" Buttercup sighed and turned around to him again.
"Butch," she started off nicely, then she raised my hand and beckoned him closer, as if to tell him a secret. As soon as he got close, she grabbed the collar of his shirt and said, "Leave me alone!" Then she pushed him away.
"Sorry babe, I told you I'm not leaving. You interest me." She groaned and rubbed her temples.
"Okay what will it take for you to get away from me?"
"I'll pick you up at 8?" he said.
Buttercup threw her hands up in exasperation.
"I'll make you a deal," Butch said, "You go on that date with me and if you still hate me, then I'll leave you alone as long as you want me to. And if –at the end of the date- you like m-"
"I doubt it, Butch," Buttercup interrupted, "But it's a pretty good deal."
"But what if you do start to love-"
"Don't count on it..." she said in slightly annoyed voice, she sighed, "I'll see you at 8." She walked away towards her house, which was only five seconds away. Before she opened the door of her house, she heard someone cheering. She looked to her right and saw Butch and his brothers; they were cheering for him, probably because she finally gave him a chance. She smiled a little then walked inside.
As soon as she did, her sisters came running up to her, yelling for joy. They hugged her tightly; Buttercup pushed them away but not too hard.
"What is the matter with you two?" she said almost shouting.
"We heard that you're going on a date with Butch!" Bubbles said.
"What?" she said, confused, "But that happened like three minutes ago. How did you find out so soon?"
"Brick and Boomer told us," Blossom answered, holding up her phone and waving it.
"So we're coming with you, it'll be a triple date," Bubbles added.
"Go upstairs, we got an outfit ready for you," Blossom said pulling Buttercup up the stairs into her room. Buttercup was shoved into her room and landed on her bed, flat on her face. She sighed and rolled over so now she was laying on her back. She noticed an outfit hung up on her closet.
It was a black and white striped tank top with a black vest over it (a/n if you can't imagine it, google "bluefly tank top and vest" on images). And underneath it were dark skinny jeans; next to it, hung a long green necklace, green apple stud earrings, simple green and silver bracelet, and on the floor were green converse.
Buttercup stood up and looked at it. Just then, Bubbles and Blossom came in.
"You're not dressed yet?" Bubbles asked.
"Does it look like it?" Buttercup replied.
"Whatever Buttercup. Just hurry up," Blossom said. Buttercup looked at her clock. 7:00.
"I have an hour, don't worry," Buttercup scoffed. But she didn't expect the reaction they gave her. They gasped and rushed her even more.
"Hurry! We have only one hour left!" Blossom said.
"Whew it's a good thing we got ready early," Bubbles said to Blossom, "Okay so you do hair and I'll do makeup-"
"Makeup?" Buttercup interrupted, "No way am I putting on make up. It's a simple little date that I don't even want to go to so I don't want makeup!"
"It'll only be light and natural looking," Bubbles said in a soft voice. Then she put on a pleading puppy dogface. Buttercup sighed and gave in, making Bubbles squeal.
"Fine, but I'm not wearing this," she said as she pointed to the outfit. Bubbles used the same puppy dogface, making Buttercup finally agree to wear it.
"Why are you guys so excited about this?" Buttercup groaned, "It's no big deal." She walked into her closet and started to dress up. Blossom and Bubbles leaned against the door of the closet.
"Yes, it is a big deal," Bubbles explained, "It's your first date with Butch."
"And it'll be our last," Buttercup said through the door.
"What do you mean by that?" Blossom asked as she and Bubbles stopped leaning on the door. Buttercup came out of the closet in the outfit they prepared.
"Me and Butch made a deal, that's what I mean," she answered.
"And the deal was?"
"That if I don't like the date we go on tonight, he has to leave me alone like I've wanted this whole time," she explained.
"What if you don't hate him after tonight?" Bubbles asked.
Buttercup paused. "I don't think that's gonna happen," she answered calmly.
"Don't count on it," Blossom sang as she pulled her to the mirror. She took out a hair curler, making Buttercup gasp and hold onto her hair.
"I'm not gonna let you curl my hair! That's like suicide to my hair!" Buttercup said. Blossom laughed.
"Relax, you're hair won't get that damaged, this is only your first time to curl, and don't worry I have a heat protection spray for less damage, anyway," Blossom explained. Buttercup had no idea what a heat protection spray was or how to use a curling iron or put on makeup, or any of the stuff they were doing to her. While Blossom was fixing her hair, Bubbles was putting on her makeup; which Buttercup dreaded.
"At least do one thing that I want," Buttercup whined.
"Which is?"
"It's a unwanted date with a guy who I don't even like, so please don't overdo it."
"Fine, we'll try our best not to," they promised.
:::::::::::::::::::::
The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Bubbles sang as she skipped to the door. She looked through the peephole and saw Boomer, Brick, and Butch in the back. She squealed and opened the door.
"Boomer!" she hugged him. He hugged her back.
"You look nice tonight," he smiled.
"You do too," she giggled.
"Is Blossom in there?" Brick interrupted.
"Yeah just wait in the living room and Blossom will be down in a minute. Oh and Buttercup is almost ready too, Butch," she predicted. They followed her into the house and sat on the couch while she ran back upstairs.
"Blossom, Buttercup, they guys are waiting-" she stopped when she saw Buttercup. Her hair looked beautiful for an everyday look. She stepped back and admired her makeup work, which made her beauty look natural.
"They're downstairs, let's go," Bubbles said as she pulled them out the door. Buttercup groaned as she was being pulled away.
"I so regret when I gave him a chance," she sighed.
"It's okay Buttercup," Blossom admitted, "I'm halfway there with you"
She had a sudden flashback.
"Hey Blossom, can I talk to you now?" Brick asked me. I took a deep breath and nodded.
"I'm sorry about that last date, I know I totally screwed it up," he said. My eyes lowered.
"Can you give me a second chance?" he requested. I wanted to sound as nice as I could when I say no. But before I could say anything, he spoke.
"I promise I'll be better next time, and I got you something..." He pulled out a small blue velvet box and opened it. Inside was a pink diamond bracelet. I gasped; it was beautiful. I wrapped my arms around Brick's neck. And I gave him a second chance.
"Hey Blossom," Brick said as he stood up. She smiled back at him. He looked down at Blossom's wrist and saw the bracelet. Blossom caught his gaze at the bracelet, smiled, and hugged him.
"Hey Buttercup," Butch said shyly as he rubbed the back of his head, he was looking at the ground. When he looked up, he saw how beautiful Buttercup looked.
"You look amazing!" he then added. Buttercup rolled her eyes but smiled all the same.
"Are you all ready?" Boomer asked everyone. They all nodded and headed out the door. They got into Brick's car.
"Hey Butch," Buttercup whispered to him.
"Yeah?" he replied as he turned to her.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"Um wherever this car takes us..." he insisted. Buttercup raised a brow.
"You don't know?" she said in a louder whisper.
"Nah I'm just kidding," he said, "You won't know until we get there." She sighed and looked out the window, looking at every house's Halloween decorations.
:::::::::::::::::Later that Night
"Boo!" some one screamed. Buttercup and Butch stared at the guy in the costume who came out of nowhere. They looked at each other, then burst out laughing, pointing at him.
"Oh my gawd! That totally scared me!" Buttercup taunted. Butch laughed at her sarcastic remark. They walked past him and continued walking through the Haunted House.
A few feet away were Brick and Blossom. Brick was not scared at all and Blossom screamed only because of the monsters popping out from behind props. Brick took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Blossom and "protect" her. Lastly behind, were Boomer and Bubbles. Bubbles was ready to run out of the Haunted House because of all the scary costumes; in which Boomer would say, "Haven't you fought real monsters twice as scary as these?" True, she has fought monsters way scarier than these but it was just the fact that chased her around, yelled in her face, and jumped out in front of her when she least expected it. At one point, Bubbles got so scared that she jumped into Boomer's arms.
The three couples walked out the exit, laughing and giggling. Both Butch and Buttercup noticed that Butch's arm was around Buttercup's shoulders. They looked at each other then turned away while Butch quickly took his arm off and put his hand behind his head. Buttercup looked at the floor and rubbed her arm. They both quietly laughed in an awkward way and ignored the feelings they had. They continued walking, eyes planted on the ground.
Suddenly a man in a scary costume jumped out in front of them and yelled, "Boo!". That being unexpected, Butch and Buttercup screamed and held on to each other. When the guy in the costume started to laugh, they stopped screaming.
"Didn't mean to scare you kids," he grinned. Butch and Buttercup let go of each other and glared at the guy.
"We weren't scared," Buttercup snapped while she crossed her arms.
"Of course you were," he sneered, "I can scare anyone, and no one can scare me."
"You wanna bet?" Butch smirked. Buttercup and Butch's eyes turned fully green, Butch's eyes a darker shade than Buttercup's eyes. They both put on an evil smile and walked closer to the costume guy. He gasped then shrieked like a little girl and ran off. Butch and Buttercup laughed as their eyes turned back to normal.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::Back at Home
"I had fun, Brick," Blossom said.
"I'm glad you did, I did too," he smiled. Just as he was going to leave, he stopped and turned back to Blossom.
"Here's the money I owe you for paying for last time's dinner..." he murmured as he put it into her hand. He kissed her and walked back to the car. Meanwhile, Boomer and Bubbles were saying goodbye. Boomer kissed Bubbles and followed Brick into the car. Butch and Buttercup awkwardly watch as their siblings kissed each other. They turned back to each other and laughed quietly, looking down at the floor. Hesitantly, Butch gave a quick peck on the cheek to Buttercup and went inside the car. Buttercup smiled a little and walked inside the house.
