Chapter 4: April 10, 2007
"Where are we going?" Bubbles asked.
"You can't know yet, I'll tell you when we get there," Boomer replied.
"You know you don't have to do anything special for me."
"I want to. Keep your eyes closed, we're almost there." He looked back at the road...
"Okay, open your eyes." Bubbles did as he said. She looked out the window of the car and saw lights and decorations.
"What is this?" she giggled.
"Your birthday present," Boomer smiled, "Do you like it?" Bubbles smiled at him and tried to read the small banner.
"Does that say..."
"'Happy Birthday Bubbles'? Yeah it does."
"I love it!" she squealed. Boomer stepped out of the car, walked over to Bubbles' door, and opened her door.
"Wow..." she choked out as she stepped out of the car, "This is amazing!" It basically looked like a big fancy backyard. Behind the pool was a table with a white cloth covering it and pillow covered benches around it. Boomer led her to the front. Bubbles looked down at the grass and saw leaf shaped stepping-stones; it led to the table.
"This place looks like a super rich person's backyard!" Bubbles exclaimed, "How did you even afford this?"
"I have connections. And this is not all."
"There's more? Boomer, I didn't want you spend a lot of time on my birthday."
"It has to special you're a special girl." She smiled. Boomer whistled and four guys in tuxedoes came out in front of them. The three that held instruments, starting playing music. Soon the last man started to sing.
"So where are the other four?" Bubbles asked. Boomer looked confused.
"You know..." Bubbles continued, "Your brothers and my sisters, we usually have triple dates, don't we?"
"Exactly. We've never had a date with just us."
"You're so sweet, Boomer," she giggled. Boomer smiled back at her and whistled again. Two servants came out with food and brought it to the table.
"I got you your favorite," Boomer smiled, "Chicken and salad." They both sat down in front of their prepared plates and started eating.
"This is amazing Boomer, thanks so much!" Bubbles said when they finished eating.
"Anything for you Bubbles... Are you done with your food?"
"Yeah my plate is empty," Bubbles said not even looking down at her plate.
"You wanna check?" Boomer asked as he pointed to her plate. She raised her brow but looked down at her plate all the same.
"Yeah my plate is em-" She noticed something on her plate. "What is this?" She smiled and looked up at Boomer. On her plate was a black velvet box. Bubbles took off the plastic that divided it from where the food was and picked up the box.
"How did you do that?" she asked with a laugh, "I haven't seen something done like this before. This is so sweet." She opened the box which revealed a silver necklace lined with aquamarine jewels.
"Do you like it?" Boomer shyly asked.
"I love it!" she squealed. He walked behind her.
"I'll put it on for you," he said. He opened it and put it around Bubble's neck. She turned around to him and smiled widely.
"Happy birthday Bubbles." He leaned in and kissed her.
::::::::::::
"Happy Birthday Buttercup!" Marissa yelled through the phone.
"Thanks but next time, try not to make me deaf," Buttercup laughed.
"Will do. So what has your boyfriend done for you, huh? Is he taking you out to a romantic dinner or a concert? What is it? Tell me."
"Honestly, if I knew, I would tell you. But I don't. I don't even think he has anything planned. I'm here alone in my room. Bubbles is with Boomer and Blossom went out with Brick. So I'm just a loner here. Happy Birthday to me, whoopee..." she sighed. She jumped onto her bed and stared out the window.
"Tell me where that boy lives, cuz I'm gonna go right over there and kick his-"
"Haha, as much as I want to do that right now, I won't. And if I let you, he is gonna end up in the hospital for a week even though he's a Rowdyruff." She suddenly saw a pebble hit her window. She stared at the window for a while and ignored it.
"But I'm sure there's a good reason why he's..." Another pebble hit her window. "Why he's not here with..." Another pebble hit the window.
"Uh Marissa, I'll call you back."
She got up and look out the window. No sign of Butch but on the bench on her balcony was a dress. Next to the dress were shoes and a big teddy bear. Buttercup slid the door open and looked over the balcony. No one was there so she took all the stuff on the balcony into her room. The teddy bear was wearing a necklace and holding a card.
Dear Buttercup,
Don't think I forgot your birthday. I got everything planned out, all you got to do is follow along with the plan (: So wear that dress and put on that bracelet. When you are done, go to La Belle Salon and ask for Estelle.
Butch
Buttercup smiled and took the bracelet off the teddy bear. It was her birthstone, a diamond. She quickly dressed up in the dress and shoes prepared for her.
...
"Um I'm Buttercup, I'm supposed to ask for Estelle?"
"Oh Ms. Buttercup, yes we've been expecting you. Estelle will be with you right now."
"Tu es belle!" a lady said. Buttercup turned and saw her.
"Estelle?" she asked.
"Oui, I will be doing your hair today." She led Buttercup to a chair. She washed her hair, blow dried it, and quickly started working on it.
"Here, put you fingernails and hands into this bowl while I'm doing your hair," Estelle said as she passed a bowl of Lukewarm water to Buttercup. She took out a curler and started on her hair. She then ordered a worker, Jackie, to do Buttercup's nails and another worker to do Buttercup's makeup.
"Nous avons terminé! We are done!" Estelle stepped back to see her work. "Beautiful!" She turned Buttercup's chair towards the mirror.
"Before you leave," she said as she stopped Buttercup, "Put these on." She ordered a worker to put a thick black belt around the waist of Buttercup's dress. She handed Buttercup a bracelet. Happy birthday, love. Yours truly, Butch.
"Butch is very lucky to have a beauty like you. Now you can go." Buttercup didn't know where to go but she walked out the Salon anyway. She saw a man in front of a limo holding up a sign saying, 'Buttercup'.
"You are Buttercup? Come with me, this is part of Butch's birthday present for you." She went in the limo which led to a carnival on the pier.
"I got all dressed up for a carnival?" Buttercup sighed to herself.
"Not exactly," a familiar voice said from behind her. She looked out the opposite window and saw Butch. He smiled and walked to the other side of the limo to Buttercup's door. He opened the door and reached his hand out. Buttercup took his hand and stepped out of the limo. Butch smiled and pulled her closer to him.
"You look beautiful tonight," he smirked. He gave a quick peck on the lips.
"And no, the carnival is just a place we have to walk through to get to where I'm taking you," Butch answered to her question earlier.
"Why couldn't you just drive me there instead of walking there from here?" Buttercup scoffed.
"Because people will see you and me when we walk through the carnival."
"So?"
"So they'll know that you're mine," he grinned. She smiled back at him and kissed him on the cheek. Butch was right: people cheered and smiled at them as they walked past them.
"So where are we going?" Buttercup wondered.
"We're here!" Butch said. Butch noticed that Buttercup was looking around the pier, searching for what he was talking about.
"No, look out at the water," he responded. She did as he said and saw a white boat.
"Oh my gosh, are you serious?" Buttercup smiled, "You are the best! Let's go." He led her off the pier and into a small paddling boat to get the bigger boat. Slow music started to play. Buttercup looked back at the pier and saw a small orchestra band. She turned to Butch who was smiling at her.
"Dance with me," he said as he lifted her out of her seat.
"I can't dance," she said. He laughed.
"It's okay. Just follow me." They started to dance.
"You planned a lot, Butch. This is amazing."
"You deserve all of this. So..." He spun her around causing her to laugh.
"So... what?"
"Do you love me?" he smirked. Buttercup laughed.
"You think if I didn't, I wouldn't get all dressed up for you?"
"You got dressed up for our first date too, so you loved me even before that first date."
"Don't get to full of yourself because that time, I was forced into it by my sisters. I did this because I wanted to... for you. I do love you Butch."
"I love you too. Happy birthday."
:::::::::::
Blossom held all the notes she got at school from Brick. She reread all of them. The one she found in her locker said Bright lights.. The one she found in her History textbook said Roses. The note she found in her backpack and pencil case said Outside and Dinner.
"I wonder what they mean..." she whispered to herself. She got out of her car and walked up to the house, Buttercup and Bubbles walking in front of her. Blossom was staring at the notes until Bubbles spoke up.
"Blossom, I think this is for you," she said. Buttercup took the note off their front door and handed it to Blossom. It said Your favorites.
"The fifth time today, he's planning something special I bet. Unlike Butch," Buttercup said as she walked in the house, "I don't think he's even planning anything."
"I hope Boomer doesn't waste too much money on me," Bubbles said, "But I am a sucker for dinner dates with music playing in the background. If he gets me chicken and salad for dinner, I'll love him even more!"
"Whatever Bubbles," Buttercup laughed as she sat on the couch, "Whatever Butch might plan, I hope we don't have to dance. I suck at dancing."
"I'll just be happy with whatever Brick does for me," Blossom smiled. Bubbles scoffed but smiled at Blossom.
"Make us look like ungrateful butts when we say what we hope for and you say you'll be happy with whatever he does," Buttercup smiles.
"That's what I'm going for Buttercup," Blossom replies with sarcasm. She sat on the floor in front of the coffee table that was in front of the couch Buttercup was sitting on. She dropped her backpack next to her, unzipped it, and took out her chemistry textbook.
"It's our birthday and we have homework, yay..." Buttercup says bluntly.
"It's not like you're actually going to do it," Blossom laughs. Buttercup glares at Blossom and turns her attention back at the TV. Blossom opened her textbook and found another note from Brick. I'll pick you up at 7. Brick.
...
"Hello?" Bubbles said through her phone.
"Hey Bubbles, it's Brick, I need your help for my date with Blossom."
"I'll be happy to help. What do you need me to do?"
"Slide a note under Blossom's door saying that I'll be there in an hour and a half. When she is done reading it, prepare an outfit for her. Make it special but not formal kind of thing."
"Okay, no problem. So where are you taking her?"
"Somewhere really special. And I'm sure she'll like it."
"Eep! If she knew, she'd say 'I can't wait!'"
"Whatever you say, Bubbles... Thanks a lot and whatever you do, do not tell her that we had this conversation. I want her to be as surprised as possible."
"Okay. See ya!" She hung up and did exactly as Brick ordered her to do. Brick dialed on his phone again.
...
"Another note, Blossom?" Bubbles asked as she opened the door of Blossom's room.
"Yeah, he'll be here in an hour and a half," Blossom said excitedly. Buttercup came in.
"Hey Bloss, you got another note?"
"Yup."
"So how many did you get today?" she asked.
"Why do you wanna know?"
"I won't lie to you," Buttercup sighed, "Brick told me to make sure you got all the notes. Oh whoops" She had a tone of sarcasm.
"What?" Blossom asked.
"I wasn't supposed to tell you that," she answered carelessly, "Oh well, it'll be our secret. So how many notes did you get?"
"Seven," Blossom answered.
"Seven?" Buttercup repeated, "You're missing one. Let's see, one in your locker, one on the door... Oh I know." She got up and went to Blossom's balcony. After a moment, she came back in with a small dog plush. She threw it on the bed in front of Blossom and she picked it up. The plush had a note in its paws. Here is something to show how much I love you. A ring went through a string and around the dog's neck; it was silver with a pink heart shaped diamond.
"It's beautiful!"
"It sure is..." Bubbles added, "Now that the secret Buttercup wasn't supposed to tell is out, Brick told me to help you get dressed up. Not too formal, kay?"
...
"So where are we headed?" Blossom said. She and Brick were walking across a long park.
"Somewhere special," he answered as he held onto her hand. A small blush crept up to Blossom's cheeks.
"Well this is nice," Blossom dreamily sighed as she swung their hands, "Just walking together under the stars on a peaceful night."
"Yeah this city is really beautiful at night. But it isn't as beautiful as you." Brick smiled at her. Blossom rolled her eyes but smiled all the same.
"So here we are." Blossom looked to where he was pointing and saw a picnic in the grass. Rose petals were scattered on the picnic cloth and in the center was a picnic basket. A short distance away was an orchestra band (A/N: All brothers had the same music idea. Classic.)
"This is really nice Brick," Blossom said.
"That's not all... yet." She laughed. She looked at the bowl of grapes and Brick caught her gaze. He laughed and took one out.
"Catch," he said as Blossom opened her mouth. He threw it at her and she caught it in her mouth. They both laughed.
"I have skills," she bragged.
"Oh please anyone can do that," Brick teased playfully. At that, he opened his mouth signaling Blossom to throw a grape.
"You won't be as good as me," Blossom sang. Instead of one grape being thrown, she threw a couple. He didn't catch any. He gasped and quickly jumped up with his arms crossed. He smirked down at Blossom. She squealed and got up. She ran and Brick chased her around the park. When he got close enough, he wrapped his arms around her waist. They both started laughing as Brick swung her around with his arms still wrapped tightly around her.
Suddenly a loud explosion interrupted them, followed by a bright light. Blossom looked up at the sky and saw fireworks. Then she turned to Brick.
"Is this what you meant by bright lights?"
"Yeah, I think you're gonna like it." They sat back down on the picnic area closely together and watched the fireworks. Blossom leaned her head on Brick's shoulder. Three fireworks came up next to each other and exploded at the same time. The first one exploded into a red block, next one was a plus sign, and the last was a flower.
"What does that mean?" Blossom asked still looking up at it.
"I don't know, think about it..."
"Hm... That red block looks like a..."
"A brick?" Brick finished for her.
"And that's a plus sign I think, and the flower..."
"What do flowers do?" he questioned Blossom caught on.
"So it's... Brick plus Blossom," she softly answered. A louder explosion startled her which made Brick laugh. She looked up at the sky again and saw a heart shaped firework explode around the "Brick plus Blossom" firework. They smiled.
"Thank you so much Brick. I love it."
"Happy birthday Blossom," Brick smiled.

Recommended Songs of the Chapter: Dreaming of You by Lovi Poe and
Just a Dream sung by Christina Grimmie.
I don't own any of those songs. I just really like them. I always use YoutubeRepeat on them haha. I don't own that either. I don't own anything. I hope you enjoyed this chapter I worked hard on it (a bunch of research lol, birthstone research, I even looked at YahooAnswers for date ideas. I suck at date making myself. So I borrowed some ideas from there and added/took away some details of it. I don't own.) REVIEW PLEASE!
