Chapter Six: I wish I could be closer to you
"So what kind of powers do you have, lady?" the little girl asked Bubbles. Bubbles leaned down to the little girls level, she wasn't about five years old with short blonde hair and blue eyes like hers. Bubbles patted the little girl's head.
"I could fly," Bubbles answered as she continue to smile, the little girl eyes widen. "I also can speak in different languages and talk to animals, too!"
"Wow, lady!!" the little girl gasp. "You must be superwoman!!"
I wish, Bubbles though as she giggled at the little girl statement. Bubbles was at the foster home again waiting for Mitch, the children are making gifts for the twins who's birthday is today. Bubbles gave the foster mother her gifts to the twins, a nice doll for the girl and a book for the boy. She hope it will make them happy since the twins only relative died the other day in her hospital bed. Mitch had spent a lot of time with the twins and the foster mother jokes about it saying that Mitch was join at the hip with them and that he follows the twin girl into the bathroom, Bubbles couldn't help but smile.
"Arica," Mitch said from the stairs as he climb down. "Go get ready for the party."
"I am ready," the little girl pouted as she stomp away to the table which is decorated in birthday colors.
"Hi," bubbles waved at Mitch the she step closer and hug him, she devour her scent. She hasn't seen him in two days since she was busy with fighting crime, her two sisters were acting weird and slacking on their responsibilities. Blossom always leaving and never coming back till late at night while Buttercup complain that she's not in the mood and sit in her room staring out the window. She was glad that she has time to see Mitch even though she sees him at school it wasn't enough for her.
"I miss you," she said as she look Mitch in the eyes.
"I miss you, too." he said as he kiss the top of Bubbles head. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Does she? Bubbles thought that today would be good enough to visit Mitch's grandmother gravesite( I hope you guys wasn't thinking about….you know!), she wanted to avoid going there because of Mitch's concern but since he was okay with it so is she.
"Yeah let's go or we'll miss the party." she said as she tug Mitch to the door, Mitch said his goodbye's to his foster mother, sisters, and brothers.
Bubbles and Mitch walk on the sidewalk, hand in hand. Bubbles blush when some Townsville citizens saw her and Mitch walking, Mitch blush too and look at the ground. It was a long walk to the Townsville gravesite, once they arrive, Mitch open the door for Bubbles. Bubbles slip in still holding Mitch's hand which caused him to be pulled in. I guess she really doesn't want to let me go, he thought as they walk past the gray tombstones.
"How far is it?" Bubbles asked nervously. She didn't like the going to the cemetery after that zombie villain she and her sisters defeated, Bubbles was always afraid that he will come back from the dead to get his revenge. Mitch could feel Bubbles tight grip on his hand, he could tell that she was uncomfortable but she also wanted to do it for him and that's what Mitch love about Bubbles, no matter what she will do anything for anyone she cares about even if it's wrong she still do it.
"Not far," Mitch responded. "In fact we're almost there."
As they walk past more tombstones, Bubbles walk closer to Mitch. The tombstones began to be far apart as they venture to the far end of the cemetery, the dates look recent dating back to when Mitch and Bubbles were still in Pokey Oaks. Bubbles looks at the names of the tombstones to see any names she knew but none of them ring a bell, she meet a lot of people during her sixteen years so she couldn't remember all the names. Then she felt Mitch tug at her hand to stop so she did and right in front of the couple was Mitch's grandmother's tombstone. Bubbles look at the name of Mitch's grandmother, Elaine Mitchleson.
"That's a pretty name," Bubbles commented, she notice there was yellow Buttercups place in front of the tombstone, they look about couple of days old. "Did Buttercup?"
Mitch nodded his head and said, "She was the first one I told since me and her was, close to each other. I could tell Buttercup anything and she will listen no matter how mad she is, she just listen."
"Then why did you tell me?" Bubbles asked as she look into Mitch's brown eyes. "Is it because of that promise you made with your grandmother?"
Mitch look away from Bubbles light blue eyes, then he muttered something and got down on one knee. Bubbles look at him weirdly as he pull something out of his brown jacket, it was a small blue butterfly ring. It had a tiny sliver and blue butterfly with a light blue diamond hanging at the end of it's body. Mitch took Bubbles left hand, and said, "My promise to my grandmother, her last dying wish was, to marry you Bubbles."
Bubbles mouth drop open(my mouth drops open!!!), she was in a state of shock, she stammer on what to say, what to do, no one ever propose to her!! She was sixteen years old!!!!
"W-wh-wh-why?" she manage to say as Mitch was still on one knee.
"Why you?" he finish for her, Bubbles nodded her head. "Because, to tell you the truth, I knew Buttercup had a crush on me and I had feelings for her too but I really like you, Bubbles. I know I hide my feelings for you over the years because well, who wants to go out with a guy like me? A delinquent? A slacker? A nobody? I was and probably still the bad boy of Townsville, how can I be with the most beautiful, funny, and kind hearted person like you? I told my grandmother these feelings and she always tell me that one day, my time will come, and that's now."
Bubbles was still in shock, her heart rate was going faster than a speeding bullet, and her face was so red it look like Bubbles have drink a whole bottle of hot sauce.
"When I came back from a gang meeting," Mitch continued. "My grandmother was off her rocking chair, she was on the floor holding something close to her chest. I acted quickly shaking my grandmother, yelling at her, I didn't know what to do. Then she told me in panted gasps, to take her wedding ring, take it and propose to you in hopes of filling this empty space in my heart. I love my grandmother like my own mother, and watching her die in my hands was the most difficult experience I will ever had in my short life and I wish, to fill this emptiness by proposing to you."
"B-b-but Mitch," Bubbles gasp as she put a hand to her heart. "But we're young!"
"I know Bubbles but someday, someone will take you away from me and I will, I don't know what I will do the pain will be so imaginable," Mitch said as he holds Bubbles hand tighter. "It's something to think about when we get older, that someday, my wish to see you walking down that aisle in a white wedding dress then sharing our cake, then us going to our honeymoon, and being closer to you than I ever imagine. I want my future to be bright, our future! I want to have kids and always be with them, get a decent job instead of turning to the life of crime like my father."
Bubbles wanted to break down crying( I want to start crying! This is too…beautiful!), she hold on to Mitch' hand and nodded.
"Yes!" Bubbles sob as fresh hot tears drip down her cheeks. "Yes, I will marry you, Mitch!"
Mitch got up and pick Bubbles up and spin her around, Bubbles laugh and cried at the same time. Mitch brought her down and kiss her so passionately, Bubbles head was spinning when he broke the kiss. Mitch slip the ring on her finger and look into her eyes.
"I love you Bubbles," Mitch whispers as he kiss Bubbles again.
"I love you, too!" Bubbles sob as she kiss Mitch again.
AN:….This is when I start to cry….I hope I didn't make anyone cry then I'll start crying again. Next chapter ButtercupxAce!!!! Woot!!!!
