~Descendants of Love and Hate~ Chapter 2: Unwanted Persuasion~
"Sweetheart, I would like you to meet this fine young man." Juliet's father said as she stood right in front of him with confusion.
"Okay." She said simply, and then she waved. "Hello kind sir."
Her father raised an eyebrow. Does this girl know this man at all?
"Juliet, do you know who this is?" Her father asked her. She soon shook her head. "Who is he to me?" She asked him.
Suddenly nervous, her father quickly said. "Your fiancé." Juliet's eyes grew wide as she had to understand the situation. She stumbled into her father's chair with her face covered in shock.
"You mean I'm engaged to a man I hardly even know…" She looked at her dad with sadness in her eyes. "No, sweetie." He whispered to her softly. "You'll get to know him, by spending the day with him."
For once, the girl was speechless. Her eyes soon flashed anger. She couldn't believe that her father betrayed her right after she said NO.
It seemed like she could trust no one these days, except for the one she truly desired: Romeo. She ran as far away as she possibly could. After drying up all of her tears, she noticed she was at Romeo's place. Luckily, its night, she thought to herself.
"Romeo! Romeo! Where for art thou Romeo?" She yelled as she entered his family's garden, soon she quickly covered her mouth and hid in the bushes. She could let herself be seen or she'll be done for. As she scanned her lover's home, she saw an open window (it was on the first floor) and looked inside.
"You're going to be so happy together." She heard his mother's voice in the background. What could she possibly mean by that?
"Mother, I hope you respect my wishes. I don't want to meet this other girl, for I'm in love with someone else." Romeo said; she smiled. She always knew she could trust him from the first moment they met.
And how did she know he was talking about her? It was just a good guess.
"I don't want go on the stupid date!" Buttercup yelled furiously.
"Please Buttercup, try to comprehend that the professor has been doing it for you." Blossom said leaning against the changing room door.
"Yeah, Buttercup." Bubbles said. "There must be a good reason why dad is doing this." Sadly, the bubbly powerpuff wondered why her dad did of all this to make her sister go on a date; it seemed strange to her. He wasn't usually the type of person to mess with relationships and they all knew that.
Soon, the door soon slightly opened while startling Blossom. As she backed away from the door, her sister stepped out. Blossom and Bubbles stared at her with shock; they knew they never saw her this way before. Buttercup stepped out wearing green sparkle flats, a green bow in her hair that lit up her eyes, and a plain green dress. She wore make up that transformed her completely.
"So, how do I look? Hideous? Disgusting? Ugly? To be honest, I feel like all of those things." Buttercup said with a blank expression. She still couldn't believe that she was doing this.
"But you look great!" Bubbles squealed in happiness. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Really? I can't believe it since these shoes hurt; I hate this bow, and my face feels heavy." Buttercup touched her face, she hoped the makeup wasn't waterproof.
"Buttercup, you look amazing! Thank you for your help servants." The servants bowed and left them alone. Soon, Blossom face turned serious like they were on one of their "missions."
"Now, listen, Buttercup," Blossom started as she gained her sister's attention. "The professor needs you to be on your best behavior for this date."
"Whatever," Buttercup spat. "Why should I behave? I don't even want to go."
"You should go because the professor is depending on you." Blossom said in a stern tone, but sadly Buttercup looked away from her sisters and started to walk away.
Face palming, Blossom said. "I hope the guy the professor chose has a good time with our stubborn sister."
"I hope so too." Bubbles said quietly and continued. "But Blossom, I'm worried. What if this doesn't go well as dad planned?"
"Don't worry, I doubt that would happen." Blossom whispered as they went to their rooms. Blossom wondered what would happen to, but all she could do was wait and see.
After Buttercup entered her room, she shut the door furiously and fell onto her bed. "I can't believe I have to do this." She muttered through her pillow. While being all by herself, she tried to remember the good old times with her father. She remembered when her sisters and she would help with his experiments and sometimes it would end in funny moments. She also remembered the freedom that she had, but now it's so limited.
Ding-Dong! The door bell rang as it got her attention, Buttercup zoomed down the stairs. She had to get this over with, so she could figure out how to get revenge.
Once the butler opened the door, she saw her old childhood friend. He still had the same messy brown hair as always with a smirk pinned on his face. He seemed to look the same, but he seemed more… developed. Yet, she felt no attraction towards him, which was great for her at least.
"Mitch!" Buttercup yelled in surprise as she hugged him tightly. As soon as he was gasping for air, she let him go. "What are you doing here?"
"What do you mean?" He looked down at her. "I am your date." Buttercup smiled at what he said. She didn't believe it was a date. She never saw Mitch as the romantic type; luckily, he was probably here to release the leash off of her neck. Once the professor was out of site, they were going to have so much fun. Honestly, she wished she could jump for joy.
Before they left the professor came down and said goodbye. "I want you back by ten pm."
"Yeah, dad. Whatever!" Buttercup waved as they drove off in Mitch's car. After a few minutes of silence, she finally spoke to Mitch. "So, where are we going? I bet it's something exciting."
"It's going to take your breath away…" He said nervously. Buttercup raised an eyebrow. What could he possibly mean by that?
"Oh… I see. Is it a basketball game? A wrestling match? A dirt bike race?" She asked in excitement. Mitch gave a long, deep sigh. This was going to be a long day.
"No, no and no."
"Then where are we going?" Buttercup questioned in curiosity.
"We are going to a movie theater." Mitch said simply. Well, it wasn't the best place Buttercup would love to go to, but at least she got to go somewhere besides school and conventions that her father was hosting. There were a lot of interesting movies to see there, especially how they were screening old movies. They could watch Jaws, Moby Dick, Dracula and other types of classic movies.
As they entered the movie theaters, she looked around in awe. I swear I need to sneak out more. She thought as she saw posters of movies that could possibly come out. While she roamed the place, she heard Mitch's voice in the background.
"I would like two tickets for Romeo & Juliet." She couldn't believe her ears. To see what? She took her pinky and started to clean both ears. Both of her eyes were clean and she swore she wasn't deaf. She went towards her buddy. "What are we going to see?"
"We are going to see Romeo and Juliet."
"Why?" She yelled, she was making a scene as always.
"Who cares? Let's just get into the room before the movie starts." He dragged her to the room. "Wait," She tried to stall so she wouldn't be put into her misery. "Shouldn't we get food before we go inside? I don't think we won't miss a thing."
"How are you sure?" Mitch asked as he stopped dragging her.
"Um… How long is the movie again?" she asked nervously.
"Three hours." He replied. "Three hours, you've got to be kidding me." Buttercup said.
"Nope, I'm serious." He said as he laughed; she sighed. "Good, that means we won't miss a thing." She got out of his grip and started pulling Mitch to the snack stand.
Today was really surprising for her. First, her father forces her to do something (but it's not like he hasn't done it before) and now out of all the people she knew, Mitch was the weirdest thing that happened so far. He was one of the toughest, loudmouthed, coolest boys that she knew, yet he was suddenly interesting in romantic movies and "dates."
Luckily, no matter how weird he was, there was no way she was going to watch a sappy love story, and she knew just how to do it.
~At Double D's Home~
Edd heard his door bell ring as he carefully went down the stairs. Once he saw his mother smiling brightly, he knew it couldn't be good.
Sadly, once he tried to creep up the stairs to avoid the situation, his mother yelled for him to come down and show some hospitality to their guest. His heart sank as he got closer and closer to the door.
Only three people could give him this feeling: his parents (when upset and/ or creepily happy) and Marie Kanker.
Once the blue haired female saw a glimpse of the boy, she ran towards him and hugged him tightly. "Hello, dreamboat!" She said in a flirty tone as they were extremely close.
"Why, hello Marie..." Double D tried to say as he started to sweat nervously. "Can you release me at once…?" He started to choke; it was getting harder and harder for him to breathe.
"Not till, I get my welcome kiss." She said in excitement as she dipped him. After hearing just that phrase, Double D tried to get out of her grip. As she got closer and closer to the boy, he became more paranoid. Luckily, the mother, noticing her son so uncomfortable, she did something about it.
"Ahem." She coughed to gain their attention. They both looked at her. What does she want now? Double D thought. "If you want to show your "affections" of each other, I suggest you do it somewhere else." She pushed them out and slammed the door.
After a moment of silence, Marie quickly analyzed the situation. "Wow! You're mom is cold."
Double D nodded his head. "You have no idea." Thanks a lot for you're help. He thought sarcastically. Once they were inside Double D's car, Marie just had to ask: "Where are we going, honey bun?"
After hearing her exact words he had to think hard about that. What was the most uninteresting and not romantic place for Marie?
"We are going to the science museum," He smiled and then went on. "And I assure you that there will be many things to learn about in that educational environment. Just imagine, we could see the-"
"No." She interrupted him. "We are going to see Romeo and Juliet."
"Okay." He couldn't really fight with her, if he did, he would have ended up in this predicament that would have scarred him for life. Luckily, he didn't want to go there.
After a long drive there, they were at the movie theaters. After closing and locking the car doors, Marie grabbed Edd and forcefully dragged her partner to the ticket booth. Soon they came across a smiling Sarah.
"Hello! How may I help this couple today?" She smiled as Marie giggled. Before Double D could speak, Marie beat him to it. "Yes, I would like to get two tickets to see Romeo and Juliet with my hubby.' She squeezed Double D tighter as she rested her head on her arm. He sighed, what could he do?
"Okay, that'll be $12.50." Marie looked at Edd and he searched through his wallet. He gave the girl the money and they went inside.
Noticing that they were late for the movie, Marie pulled Double D in the dark theater. "Good. We came in time just before the good part."
"Wait… You mean you've seen the movie before?" He asked; she smirked as she nodded.
"Of course, I have sugar lumps, so I've decided that we don't watch the movie."
"Why not? I paid money that could be used on something else to get you hear!" He mumbled.
"Because," She started as she grabbed his face. "The better and darker it is to kiss you my dear." Then she went on an all out smooch attack. He could feel her lips crushing down on his. He wanted her to stop because it wasn't an "appropriate" place to be to be doing these kinds of things and he didn't want to kiss her. He was basically squealing for his life.
After she stopped, he gasped for air. Once he started to breathe calmly, he left to go and get "beverages." The truth was he wasn't going to get them at all.
He didn't know how he could take much longer he could take on his date. He looked around to see if anyone besides the staff was here. He saw no one except the girl in the beautiful green dress and accessories whom seemed to draw his attention. Why was a girl like that in a place like this? He thought as he ran to her to find out.
I'm sorry you guys that I made this one some-what boring. I'm having a dull summer. Until next time, bye!
