A/N: I am so glad I am finally able to share this chapter with all of you! This is the chapter that almost wraps up everything and makes way for the other stuff. No more babbling (for me)! So you all know the drill: 1 I do NOT own any of the RRB and PPG, and 2. Enjoy the story!

Chap. 14: Two- Relived

Before you can all tell me how pathetic I acted let me tell you what REALLY happened and who I really was. Three and Four can tell you their version but isn't my side the one that really matters in the end? Very well then…I was not always Number Two, or 10 years ago when I called myself Rose, it was Blossom Utonium. I guess I never was able to let go of that care-free and joyful six-year old that was buried deep within me.

Call me weak, pathetic or stupid but I had a major crush on my very worst enemy, Brick Jojo when I was a little girl. It was the worst scenario ever. I don't know why but every time I saw his flame- like hair my heart skipped a bit and I always laughed at his jokes even when everyone said they were lame. I know I was young but just never got over it.

It was like letting go of a craving.

I remembered when we decided to share that place in the volcano (there was a reason why I chose the Red Region) and when we will chase each other for either a bow or cap. We were so alike in many ways and being a young girl I thought we were meant for each other.

I was wrong.

"Do you want to play today?" Brick asked…I don't know why but he sounded strange.

"Okay!" I said not caring that he acted a little bit strange…is that a boy thing? He tries to smile but he couldn't. "Brick what's wrong?" I said and suddenly I felt him punch me. Not only did my face ache but my heart did too. "Why did you that for?" I asked. Brick didn't say anything. He kept punching me and making me bleed. "Brick stop…I can't fight you." I cried.

"You are a goody-goody!" He yelled. In that moment I knew I had to fight not as a dumb little girl but the hero I was, so I made a fist and punched him. The look I got from him was complete shock but then his red eyes glowed even more. "You are going to pay for that!" He snapped.

"Bring it on rowdy ruff boy." I growled filled with anger and rage (so this is how it feels to be Buttercup).

No one was winning, no one could outsmart the other…we were just so alike and since we knew everything about the other it was impossible to out beat the other.

"You are weak, puff." Brick growled. I never heard him speak this way.

"No you are!" I growled.

"You!"

"You!"

"No YOU!" Brick said and he managed to punch me. That was all it took, I was already weak from using my powers when I knew for days that they were failing. It took all my strength to even fly. I started coughing blood and my vision began failing me. "I'm so sorry." I heard him whisper. I wanted to yell at him…that I did not want his apology but before the world blacked out on me I saw him look sad and guilty. "Let's go, we are finished here." He said bitterly and I wanted to yell at him, tell him he was a coward for no longer fighting me.

I didn't know I died that day. Four must have told you how the Professor eventually saved us from dying completely but I was not the same after this. Just like Bubbles, I was very quiet during those painful days (or weeks?) when I couldn't walk. When I finally did I wanted to forget Brick but it was impossible. He was the most important thing in the whole world to me I started to cry when I realized that I could never forget him but…if I started all over again perhaps I wouldn't be such an idiot. I renamed myself Rose Rosenfield and made Buttercup and Bubbles fallow my example. They agreed hesitantly but at the end we buried the Utonium sisters and became your average six year old rebels. (What's so average about that?) Four must have said why we separated and the truth was…well of course it was for safety but that was not the only reason. I wanted to be far away from everyone, I didn't want to talk or see anyone not even my own family whom I loved more than anyone. I decided to go to the Red Region since I liked hiking in the volcanic spot that Brick and I decided to share. I would feel less bitter and angry with life but the rage kept hitting me like flames.

I know you are not interested in hearing this but this is the reason why I shield myself from people, I never visited my own sisters because I was afraid they will hurt me. The really tough question I kept trying to answer on my own was: why did I save Five?

Five was cocky, dumb (like all boys) but he was different. I know he was different, he had to be. If I fall for another guy that will eventually break my heart into pieces then I will rather die.

Oh please let him stay with me, please, please…I begged to whatever higher power existed though for me it was highly illogical.
