Hey guys! I'm sorry if the chapters haven't been very good so far, but I promise it is getting better.
Enjoy, and Review please!
The school bell rang just as the six heroes landed in the hallway. Crowds of teenagers suddenly filled the halls and Buttercup glanced around franticly.
"No… no! Somebody please tell me that wasn't the lunch bell!" she cried. Butch rolled his eyes.
"Chill out Butterscotch, you'll live without one meal" he smirked, earning a slight glare from Buttercup, yet another thing about her Boomer found appealing.
"Says the guy who I found rummaging through my fridge an hour after stuffing his face at a buffet!" Butch's smirk turned to a glare that matched Buttercup's.
"You swore you'd never speak of that" he said lowly, getting too close to Buttercup's face for Boomer's liking.
"Shut it Twitch" she spat before turning to Boomer. Buttercup was going to start up a conversion with Boomer in order to ignore the argument, but Butch had other plans.
"Stop calling me that!" he shouted. Buttercup turned back and the two argued. Boomer and Bubbles watched the scene before them. Blossom and Brick had left the group, off to their next class, and Butch and Buttercup were in the middle of one of their arguments.
Their arguments were never serious and were always forgotten within about twenty minutes. The two always fought about the stupidest of things, but that was just how their friendship worked. They fought and then laugh about it later.
"Sometimes I wonder if those two will ever just kiss in the middle of an argument" Bubbles stated, still watching her sister. Boomer's stomach twisted, did they like each other? Bubbles noticed Boomer's tension and giggled.
"I'm just kidding. Besides, I don't think they have the slightest interest in one another. Then again, you never know when I comes to Butch" Boomer lightly pushed Bubbles to the side causing her to giggle even more. Out of the three pairs, Bubbles and Boomer got along the best. They never fought and they told each other everything. That meant Bubbles knew about Boomer's massive crush on Buttercup. They were best friends and Bubbles noticed his attraction the very day he figured it out.
Boomer relaxed as he watched his brother and friend began to laugh about their stupidity. Butch was like the player of the three Rowdyruff Boys. He flirted more than any guy in the school. He had broken many girls' hearts and even helped some fix it, only to have it broken again. So even if Butch was attracted to Buttercup, Boomer had nothing to worry about since he was never serious about any girl right?
Wrong. His brothers and friends believed him to be the biggest player they'd ever met. Which may have been true, but Butch never intended on being one. He honestly didn't expect to have gone on so many dates in one week. One day he had accidentally said 'yes' to four girls for a date, completely forgetting about his previous arrangements. His dates went smoothly, but the following Monday, Butch was confronted by four very ticked-off girls. One of them called him a player, so he eventually started to believe it, and here he is now hated by a handful of teenage girls, but at the same time adored.
He had to admit it, Buttercup was a girl he would go for, but not even he was that crazy to try and play with her feelings. Besides, she wasn't exactly his type. Sure she was pretty and a good friend, but he'd probably be tearing his hair out in a relationship with her. Buttercup was too much like him, aside from constant flirting with the opposite gender. She had an attitude that was worse than Butch's and he could not deal with someone with a worse attitude than his; he knew how difficult he could be. Not to mention, Boomer already called dibs years ago, and even though he had yet to make a move, Butch respected the "Bro Code".
His friends were right; Butch was never serious about any of the girls he dated. But what they all failed to see was that there was one specific girl Butch couldn't get out of his mind for even a split-second in the day. She was the one girl who always rejected him. The one girl whose child-like laugh made his heart race and whose smile brightened his mood like the sun after a rainstorm. Between his and Buttercup's laughs, Butch was able to take a quick glance at the girl he wanted so much to call his Sunshine.
"Come on guys, we should get to class" Boomer suggested as he made his way down the hall with Buttercup. Butch was pulled out of his daze, shaking his head at his brother who just wouldn't make a move. Butch on the other hand tried constantly for the girl of his dreams.
"Hey, what do say we go get some ice cream after school, I happen to know you really love ice cream" he said, putting an arm around Bubbles' shoulders. The two followed behind Boomer and Buttercup towards the school gym. Bubbles blushed slightly but giggled to hide it.
"In your dreams Butch" Bubbles removed his arm with a sweet smile and followed Buttercup into the girls' locker room. There it was, the rejection Butch received from Bubbles on a weekly basis. Everyone thought that when he flirted with her or asked her on a date, that he was just messing around, being the silly Butch he could be. Bubbles never thought for a moment that he was being serious. But they were wrong. Butch meant every word he spoke to Bubbles, hoping one day she'd say yes.
He never joked when it came to Bubbles. It didn't hurt too much to be rejected so much; he knew it wasn't her fault. She had no clue he was serious, and he wondered if she ever would. Butch was determined to one day convince her to go on a date with him. And when he did, he'd show her the best time of her life so they could have even more dates in the future. He could go on a million dates, but none of them would matter unless Bubbles was the one by his side.
A few minutes later, Buttercup and Bubbles were in the gym playing a game of volleyball. Bubbles and Buttercup were an unstoppable team when it came to volleyball. Everyone wanted them on their team since they worked so well together. Today, however, the two sisters were their own team, going against about fifteen other students. Since it was a free-day, everyone could do what they wanted as long as they were active, and no one really cared about team numbers and scoring rules.
Boomer watched Buttercup flick her wrist with ease, sending the volleyball smoothly over the net. It amazed him how she could be so great in sports even without her powers. They never used their powers in sports or games unless it was only them.
Boomer was standing in the middle of the half court which wasn't taken up by the volleyball net. Seeing Buttercup's graceful moves took his attention away from what he was doing. In fact, he couldn't even remember why he was standing in the court. He took notice of how pretty she looked, even though she was on the verge of sweating bullets. Buttercup took a second to tighten her messy-high ponytail and noticed Boomer watching her.
He froze. His cheeks began to heat up at the realization that he'd been staring, and it was probably pretty creepy. Boomer calmed himself; he could fix this. Instead of looking away awkwardly, Boomer smiled approvingly. Buttercup managed a small smile back, figuring he was just admiring her good teamwork with his counterpart.
Boomer mentally patted himself on the back for avoiding an awkward situation with ease. He took a quick glance right into Buttercup's eyes in time to catch it sparkle in the light. Suddenly, pain screamed throughout Boomer's face. He opened his eyes, not remembering ever closing them, to find himself on the gym floor with a few students staring at him. "That's right," Boomer thought. "We were playing dodge ball!" Although he had grown, Boomer's childhood ditzyness came to haunt him at times.
Boomer heard a muffled laugh just a few feet away. Mitch Michelson. "Sorry dude!" Mitch called, not even trying to contain his laughter anymore. Boomer sent a glare his way, but only managing to make Mitch laugh even harder thanks to Boomer's hardly-threating-glare.
"You alright, Blue?" Boomer turned his head to meet the bright green eyes he loved so much. Buttercup was crouched next to Boomer, concern spread across her face. Boomer wanted more than anything to just cry. He may have been a Rowdyruff Boy, but he was sensitive. That ball was harder than it looked.
Tears threatened to well up, but Boomer's main priority was to keep them from coming. The last thing he wanted was to cry over getting hit by ball in front of Buttercup, the "Toughest Fighter". He couldn't ever expect a date with her if he cried over this.
"I am perfectly fine" Boomer proudly stated. He quickly got to his feet and put on a fake smile. Buttercup stood up as well and glared doubtfully at him.
"You know your lip is bleeding, right?" she asked plainly. Boomer lightly brushed his finger across his lower lip and winced at the pain. Buttercup raised an eyebrow at him.
"Do you want to go to the nurse? I'll walk with you" she offered. As much as he wanted to roam the halls with his crush, Boomer couldn't risk looking like a baby in front of Buttercup.
"No really, I couldn't be better" he said. Buttercup looked ready to protest further but decided against it.
"Fine, but now for my next question, what the heck is wrong with your brother?" Buttercup pointed behind Boomer where Butch was leaning against the wall. Boomer and Buttercup approached him, confused that he would sit out a game of dodge ball.
"What's with you Twitch? Where have you been this whole time" Buttercup questioned.
"I was in the locker room…" Butch answered.
"Doing what?" Buttercup was completely lost; Butch was typically the first one in the gym. Boomer thought for a moment, and then a wide grin spread across his face.
"You got your foot stuck in the toilet again, didn't you?" Butch glared at his brother before violently shaking his head.
"Gym shorts caught on a locker?" Buttercup guessed.
"…Maybe. And I ripped a huge hole in them trying to get out" Boomer and Buttercup burst into fits of laughter, receiving glares from Butch.
"Why didn't you just change back into your pants?" Buttercup asked, trying to calm herself.
"Because, Butterscotch, number one, Butch Jojo never has and never will get a zero for the day in P.E. And number two… Couch kicked me out before I had the chance."
"Hey! How's my favorite super powered friends?!" Mitch suddenly appeared and stood next to Butch.
"Oh I'm great! You know, aside from my bleeding lip!" Boomer exclaimed. Mitch chuckled lightly and aimed a charming smile at Buttercup.
"That was a pretty good throw, huh BC? If it was enough to make a Ruff cry." Mitch deepened his smile and winked in Buttercup's direction, causing her to blush. One thing to know about Mitch; he had a crush on Buttercup too. He and Boomer were still best friends though; all of the Ruffs were friends with Mitch. In fact, the Ruffs, Buttercup, and Mitch hung out the most on weekends. Blossom and Bubbles had their own group of friends to be with. Every once in a while, the Puffs, Ruffs, Mitch, and Robin would all spend a weekend together, but for the most part it was just the boys and Buttercup.
Boomer was well aware of Mitch's attraction to Buttercup. He developed it just a few months after Boomer had in middle school. Even though Boomer told Mitch, he still flirted with Buttercup and made small attempts to be romantic. It was like Boomer and Mitch were in the middle of an unspoken war with one another. The boys would be out with Buttercup, and Mitch would try to get her alone with him so he could kiss her or something. Then Boomer would 'accidentally' interrupt, making Mitch silently furious at Boomer.
Mitch was also more open about his crush on Buttercup. Many students around the school were aware due to Mitch's obvious flirt attempts. He would shout out compliments to her from across the hall, making her cheeks turn a light pink. Boomer, on the other hand, only let his brothers and Bubbles know, and never openly flirted with Buttercup. Mitch didn't seem to care in the least that Boomer liked her; the two were practically competing for Buttercup's heart.
"I wasn't going to cry" Boomer growled. He hated how Mitch tried to make him seem weak. Buttercup took note of the tension between her two friends and decided to leave the scene before anything happened.
"Well I'm going back to my game. Why don't we all hang out tomorrow, maybe at the mall?" The three boys nodded and muttered their agreements and Buttercup turned to resume her game of volleyball. Before she turned, however, Buttercup hadn't missed the second flirtatious wink Mitch sent her. The color in her cheeks darkened and she ran back to aid Bubbles in the game. She knew Mitch had some type of attraction towards her, but she tried her hardest to keep their friendship. Mitch was her very first friend when she went to kindergarten, and she didn't want to lose him. His constant flirting made her blush out of embarrassment, not attraction, but she'd never tell him that.
Kay! hope you like this...
Again I'm sorry if it's not what you expected or something, but I know if you stick with me you won't regret it!... *Nervous smile*
