Me: Hey guys I'm back.
Butch: Oh great *Smacked across the head* What the hell was that for?
Buttercup: Don't be rude
Me: It's fine BC I am the one controlling the story. It would be a shame if something was to happen to him *smirk*
Butch: *gulp*
Everyone:*Laughing*
Me: Ok Ok calm down everyone
Blossom: Hey that's my line
Me: Ok fine do you want to do the disclaimer.
Blossom: Ok. She doesn't own us or the music. She only owns the plot and OC's. Proceed.
Chapter 2: Pairing Off
POV Bubbles
It's the cute blond, Boomer, and his brothers. I can't believe it. We ran backstage "um girls why are they here."
"Isn't obvious Bubbles. They are Hawthorne boys. Let's just hope they aren't the best of their class." Blossom sounding very annoyed. Blossom lately has been changing. A slow change, but a change nonetheless. I'm not sure why, but she's not as patient or sweet, the warmness in her eyes is slowly going away getting replaced with ice. Yes she still smiles and laughs, but it no longer touches her eyes like it used to. The only time she acts like her old self is when something exiting is going to happen or we have a show. I think I'm the only one that has noticed; I have always been more in tuned with my sister's feelings than both of them. It probably has something to do with our powers.
Powers that we are strengthening as well as the new powers, some more useful than others. The useful ones are: Blossom's chryokinesis, it gets stronger everyday as well as her laser beam eyes. New powers she has gained included telepathy, telekinesis, mental projection, necrokinesis and psychometry. It always made sense for us that her abilities to be greater since she has always been the smartest and most matured. I know psychometry is one of the reasons Blossom doesn't like being touched. Buttercup's strength is off the roof compared to the rest of us, so is her agility. Her new powers that she has got include geokinesis, divination, metallokinesis, and bilocation. My fulminokinesis and aquakinesis abilities have gotten broader, faster, and more powerful, as well as my acrobatics (that explains me being a third year student, but head of the cheerleading squad). New powers I gained include hypnokinesis, aura reading, energy medicine, and death warning (the correct terminology being called that, but I know I'm pretty much a banshee). All together our super hearing strengthened and we gained remote viewing, which is really helpful considering we're spies now. The not so useful ones will be told with time.
"Why hope they aren't?" BC said breaking my train of thought.
"OOhhhhh. Can I get the blonde again? I still think he's cute" I interrupted their conversation.
"And again you're weird." BC retorted
"You get paired with the guy who is in the same rank as you" Blossom responded while pinching the bridge of her nose. "Might as well go back to the dining hall and face the music." Blossom put on her best fake smile and so did Buttercup. I for one had a genuine smile.
As soon as we walk in we are given a round of applause again. We took our seats in our usual table with our friends Janelle, Kassandra, Skylar, and Dee Dee. "You guys amazeballs, completely freakafileable" Kass, who had a very distinct country accent, spoke up first.
"Hey guys at oh nine hundred have been checking you guys out since you came in and you're in luck they are smoking hot" Janelle, the Jersey girl, who loved anything to do with swimming. We slowly turned around to see Brick, Boomer, and Butch sitting with a group of guys.
After about a minute after just staring each other down, I looked over at Blossom to see her with one hand on the table and the table to start to frost over. "Blossom!" she looked at me then down to her hand. The realization snapped her out of the trance she was in.
"Excuse me I need to use the restroom" she simply got up and left. The tension was so thick Buttercup could probably punch it.
"So Dee Dee, you told us you hand a brother in our same year. What's his name and where is he?" Skylar, the Houstonian Hispanic, spoke up trying to lighten the mood up.
"Oh yea his name is Dexter and he's riiigghhhhtttt oovveeerrrr there" she pointed to a boy in a table with orange hair.
POV Blossom
'Blossom keep your head in the game don't let him sike you out' I told myself.
*A Few Minutes Earlier*
"Hey guys at oh nine hundred have been checking you guys out since you came in and you're in luck they are smoking hot" I turned only to meet the stare of my counterpart, Brick.
'Surprise, Red, guess what ability I have gained' You have to be kidding me? 'I heard that'
'Get the hell out of my head!'
'What did you really think my brothers and myself wouldn't gain any new abilities? Plus is this any way to treat an old friend.'
'Correction you were never a friend'
'oh really'
'Yes really!'
'Look Red we're going to be partners for the rest of the year. So you're just gonna have to deal with it.'
'What do you mean by partners'
'I'm number one in our class and you are my counterpart and just opened the gathering so I'm going to assume you're also number 1"
"Blossom!"
'I'll take that as a yes'
*Now*
Splashed some water on a paper towel and used it on my face gently trying not to ruin my makeup. 'Breathe just breathe' it helped. I decided it was time for me to return to my table, but as I was going to open the door it opened and a girl named Anna walked in bumping into me. That little bump did it. I watched her entire life unfold in front of me. I saw a four year old Anna watch her parents be murdered, as she hid where her and her older sister mother had placed her moments before. To she and her sister going from foster home to the next. To their recruitment being on the grounds that both her parents were U.S. Special Agents. To her sisters graduation a year ago. To now. "I am so sorry, I honestly didn't meant to"
Knowing people's background also helps me dictate my attitude towards them. I decided to go easy on her. "Its fine, just watch where you're going next time" as Anna went in and I came out. I noticed a dark figure lurking about in the shadows, before I could get into a defensive position I heard a snap of fingers then a little flame giving off enough to see that it was Brick.
"I saw what happened back there. What happened to the sugar, spice, and everything nice you had in you?" I heard concern behind his voice, but I can never be too cautious.
"That's none of your business" I started to walk away
"I think it is considering I know how you feel" stopping dead in my tracks I turn to look at him in disbelief.
"Oh really, so how exactly do I feel?" I asked with a mocking tone.
"Like having to see the lives of other people by a simple touch is a pain in the ass" Strangely he said it in an understanding voice.
"How did you know about my psychometry?" I eyed him
"Easy I have the same ability" well this makes more sense.
"What other abilities do you have?"
"Too curious or what" I glared him down "Ok, I'll tell you. Let's see over the few years we haven't seen each other I have developed telepathy, telekinesis, mental projection, necrokinesis, and psychometry. Apart from that my pyrokinesis has been growing, strengthening, and from what I saw earlier so has your chryokinesis."
"I have the same ones except for pyrokinesis, obviously" He grabbed my hand. I felt a strong breeze move between us. I braced myself to get sucked into his life, but it never came. I kept my head down. I moved my eyes a little to see Brick also had his head down.
"You touched me"
"I touched you"
"Did you see anything?"
"Not a thing" he whispered if it wasn't for my super hearing I probably wouldn't have caught it. We both looked up. I notice Brick's hair had a single ice white stripe. As I moved to his hair, he did the same with my hair. "Um Blossom, you have a uh flaming red stripe in your hair"
"You got an ice white stripe"
"What the hell just happen?" He looked back at his brothers. "We'll finish this later." And he walked away.
POV Butch
"Where the hell is Brick?" I asked around the table which consisted of Boomer, Sterling, Jeramiah, Daemon, and Kyle. Brick came back and sat down. "Where the hell have you been? For a minute I thought you were going to bail on us for the performance later. And what's up with white strip."
"Are you crazy Dean Rivers hand-picked us. Do you know how furious he would be? And the hair thing is none of your business."
A lady with burgundy hair looking around her mid-thirties stood up, along with Dean Rivers, from the teachers table at the front of the dining hall. "Hello and welcome Hawthorne students of third year. I am Mrs. Tasley, Dean of this institute. I hope you're enjoying your dinner tonight. Soon we will begin with pair offs."
"Hello, I am Mr. Rivers, Dean of the Hawthorne Institute. Once you are paired there is no whats, buts, or ifs about it. Right after everyone gets paired, we will have another performance by the Rowdyruff Boys, Hawthorne's best and a final performance by our Powerpuff Girls. You may continue eating we will announce when the pairing off will start." With that they sat down.
"So where did you go off to bro?" Brick responded by slapping Boomer on the back of his head.
"Don't worry about it."
"Hey so what do you guys think of the girls over there in that table?" Kyle pointed to the table where the girls were sitting at.
No Ones POV
Everyone turned to look as two of the teachers, from both institutes, stood up. Agent Valedico, martial arts instructor for the girls, was the first to speak. "I know everyone is very excited very excited to meet your partner. First things first, can everyone please stand up."
Agent Bellerose, the hacking instructor for the boys, spoke next. "Boys will stand on the left and girls on the right because girls are always right." Laughter filled the hall. "Girls I have a joke." Murmurs of "okays" was heard around the dining hall. "Male intelligence" this earned her an applause and cheering from the girls.
Valedico was laughing and grabbed the mic "Cute, guys wanna hear a better joke" there was complete silence throughout the dining hall "Women's rights" Valedico dropped the mic and that got the guys hooting and the girls glaring.
Bellerose picked the mic back up "anyways back to business. We will start the pairings off with number one of your class. When we call your names please have seat together somewhere. The first pair of students will be Blossom Utonium and Brick Jojo." Both went to sit a table near the windows. "Next we have Bubbles Utonium and Boomer Jojo." They went to sit with their siblings.
Valedico picked up from there "Miss Buttercup Utonium your partner is Mister Butch Jojo." And the list went on like that.
POV Boomer
I was half expecting that Bubbles would be my partner since she was my counterpart, but I was still excited when they called us. I just think she is so cute. An adult with light brown hair walked over to our table and looked at my older brothers and I "I have been told to inform you that your Dean wants you backstage getting prepared for the performance. Girls I think you can show them the way, for Dean Tasley wants you to also get prepared for your final performance"
Bubbles excitedly responded "Yes sir. Come on guys." She stood up pulling at me to follow.
Next thing we know we hear someone announcing us. "Come on lets show the puffs what real talent is" Butch said very cocky.
"Um we are still here" An annoyed buttercup responded
"I know that was the point" and with that we went on stage.
We went with performing King for a Day by Pierce the Veil. Brick started with the electric guitar, while Butch was on the drums, Kyle was on the keyboard, and I was on bass.
[Brick & Boomer]
Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge?
I bet you never had a Friday night like this
Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands
I take a look up at the sky and I see red
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide
Everything red
[Boomer]
Please, won't you push me for the last time
Let's scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr, I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
[Butch]
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
[Brick]
The thing I think I love
Will surely bring me pain
Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame
Three cheers for throwing up
Pubescent drama queen
You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late
[Boomer]
Scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
[Butch]
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
[Brick]
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
And if the bass shakes the earth underground
We'll start a new revolution now
(Now! Alright here we go)
[Butch]
Hail Mary, forgive me
Blood for blood, hearts beating
Come at me, now this is war!
Fuck with this new beat
Oh!
[Boomer & Brick]
Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein
I was just a product of the street youth rage
Born in this world without a voice or say
Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
I know you well but this ain't a game
Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace
[Butch]
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
[Brick]
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
We are the shadows screaming take us now
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground
Shit
Cheering broke out and we went backstage. Our jaws dropped at the sight of the girls. They were wearing corsets with a puffed up skirt and combat boots and black fingerless gloves. "Woah" I heard Brick say first.
"You boys like. I personally designed them" Buttercup said proudly.
"Yup that sure looks very Buttercup." Butch said eying down BC.
"Now watch and learn boys" Blossom pulled the girls on stage as they were announced.
When the music started I recognized it right away, but Kyle commented it "Fight by The Dirty Youth, nice." We looked out to the stage we saw Blossom on the guitar, Bubbles was on the bass, Buttercup on the drums, and their other friend was on the keyboard.
[Blossom]
Don't wanna go there, I've had a late night
I'm feeling nauseous, chemicals enter my brain
I'm a control freak, an internet geek
I get these cravings, to get out and escape
[Buttercup]
You know that it's fate, and now you can't see
You lose your conscience, and break the silence
The script is written, it's complicated
Oh, something's about to erupt
[Bubbles]
This time you've taken it too far
All I wanna do is fight, can't you see you're pushing me over
Control freak this is who you are
All I wanna do is fight, I get the urge to fight
[Blossom]
I lose perception, don't wanna listen
Define the mess, and wait for you to try and explain
Is this addiction, or science fiction
The truth is out there, so get out and escape
Create distinction, to change your life now
Your private mission, open your vision
The script is written, this is corruption
Oh, something's about to erupt
[Bubbles]
This time you've taken it too far
All I wanna do is fight, can't you see you're pushing me over
Control freak this is who you are
All I wanna do is fight, can't you see you're pushing me over
I lose control
This time you've taken it too far
All I wanna do is fight, can't you see you're pushing me over
Control freak this is who you are
All I wanna do is fight, I get the urge to fight
[Buttercup]
This time you've taken it too far
All I wanna do is fight, can't you see you're pushing me pushing me
Control freak this is who you are
All I wanna do is fight, I get the urge to fight
Everyone cheered, next thing you know they start cheering 'Mash-up'. The girls came backstage, Blossom went straight to Brick, "Crush crush"–"Faint" Brick finished her sentence with a knowing smile. Then he started barking orders at everyone as did Blossom. Apparently we were doing a mash-up of Paramore and Linkin Park.
[Bubbles]
Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
[Boomer]
(Two, three, four!)
[Blossom]
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this
[Brick]
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everybody can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got
[Butch]
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
[Buttercup]
If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute
[Bubbles]
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
[Blossom]
Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
[Brick]
(Two, three, four!)
[Blossom]
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this
I won't be ignored
[Butch]
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now
[Buttercup]
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
Give me something to sing about
[Boomer & Bubbles]
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than
No, oh
POV Bubbles
The crowd went wild. Agent Bellerose went up with Agent Valedico again "this concludes our banquet. The boys will be staying here for an entire week. Your first classes start on Monday, so that gives you tomorrow and Sunday to get more acquainted."
"I have to go" Blossom started to walk away. Brick went after her. Everyone started going to their dorm, leaving Boomer and I alone.
Me: Sorry for making it so long
Brick: When is the action going to come along.
Me: Patience young one.
Brick: what are you talking about?
Me: Sshhh good things come to those who wait.
Blossom: Anyways comment and review whatever you want to see happen between all of us
