1853
It would seem to everyone in town that the red flags in the distance had appeared out of nowhere. Children came from miles around to see the marvelous shades of pink and red towering above them. Just as the children were reaching g their hands into the gate that held the circus tents captive a dark pink carriage pulled up behind them.
They backed away from the fence as all of their attention went into the beautiful masked girl who walked out of the carriage, her pink eyes watching them as they gazed upon her. She only smiled and handed a little girl a frozen pink rose and gracefully walked into the circus grounds and disappeared.
"Must I wear the damned mask?" Blossom said sitting in her dressing room throwing the mask to the side
"I think it makes you look quite alluring! Those children would agree!" Bubbles said laughing as she played with her ballet shoes
"I think it's rather stupid." Buttercup said bending in an ever so odd position
"Finally something we agree on Buttercup." Blossom said rolling her eyes and brushing her long orange hair
"Now Brick I want you to walk in there and blend in, there's no need for you to give yourself away this early in the game. I want you to go talk to the head and say that you're here for the second magician act. After that you are set and you'll no longer need me till this is over. "Brick nodded and left the dark carriage and entered the circus grounds.
"Tomorrow is opening night! Aren't you excited!?" bubbles said eating some candy as she walked with Blossom through the grounds.
"Well of course I am Bubbles. The only thing I need to do is show my opponent my power, and scare them off. The only problem is I have no idea what I'll actually be doing tomorrow. I'm thinking ice pigeons. Not too shabby, not too magnificent."
"That sounds lovely Blossom, now if you excuse me I see boomer over there walking the tightrope and I do love his balance tricks I think I'm going to watch." Bubbles laughed and ran into the main tent where Boomer was, a boy with blonde hair and the darkest blue eyes Blossom had ever seen.
"Such freedom she has, I never have time for such a trivial thing as love. " Blossom sighed and continued walking through the circus as the light of day slowly ran out.
Soon enough the next day came and everyone was running around the circus preparing for the big opening night. Except Blossom who found herself walking around the grounds, but soon enough she found that she was not alone.
She came to the fence that enclosed the back of the circus and found a boy standing there no older than her.
"I see that you're not worried about tonight's performance?" Blossom asked nearing him
As she got closer she noticed his whole suit was read and he wore a red top hat.
He didn't turn around when he spoke "Of course not, I'm well prepared to handle any situation as for you fools I'm not so sure." Blossom could see the smirk on his face even when he did not show it.
Blossom laughed "I'm not sure they are the fools when you're sitting here doing absolutely nothing."
"What is your name?" The boy then turned around the reveal his dark orange hair falling all over the top of his head, along with his dark red eyes staring right at Blossom.
"Blossom. And you?" She said standing tall and looking him in the eye
"Ah, what a lovely name." He said smiling at her
"My name is Brick not as extravagant as Blossom, but just as alluring." He smirked seeing her face go a slight pink in the light of afternoon.
"Well Brick it was a pleasure to meet you, but unfortunately I must be well on my way to getting ready for the performance. See you around."
"It was a pleasure Miss. Blossom, it would be an honor to see your lovely face again. " He smirked as she smiled and walked away
Night came all too soon for the inhabitants of this peculiar circus. The people were filing in through the gates excited to see the mysterious red circus.
Welcome! Welcome! Shouted the Mayor in his bright red suit that had black stripes on it.
Everyone was filed into the big top, where the first main event would take place. Mojo and the Professor sitting on opposite sides waiting for the magic to begin. The Professor was eagerly awaiting for his beautiful daughter to take the stage.
Soon enough it was time. Smoke filled the tent and there appeared Blossom in the center of the ring wearing a shorter pink dress, along with a white mask that covered her face, her usual dark red bow was replaced with a dark red top hat that sat on the side of her now curled orange hair. She had a huge smile on her face as the whole tent around her became cold and everyone ice started to pop out. Everyone in the crowd gasped as they felt ice rising all around them. Some in weird animal shapes like a dragon, unicorn, or various jungle animals. The children around started to laugh and point at all the curious sculptures appearing around them. Blossom smiled as she began to make ice pop out everywhere, creating spirals of it. She blew some out of her mouth and began to rise on it, making the audience gasp in response. Her final act was making thousands of roses out of the ice and making them appear in the audience. Little did she know Brick was watching the whole performance.
"Spectacular. Blossom but not quite as spectacular as me." Brick smirked and snuck out of the tent carrying an icy rose in his hand.
After Blossom's performance she was greeted by many people saying how wonderful her performance was. She thanked them all and quietly snuck away back to her trailer.
She finally arrived when she saw those all too familiar red eyes "You did wonderfully Blossom."
"Humph I'm surprised you remember my name Brick. Seeing you refuse to socialize with everyone else."
"Ah yes, now tell me how do these manage not to melt?" He said holding the icy rose from earlier
"Magic. For those who believe in it, that rose will last for those who don't as soon as they come in contact with it, the rose will melt. Simple really. I take it you believe Brick? " Blossom said raising her eyebrow.
"Of course I do. I always have."
Blossom nodded and smiled as she approached her trailer.
"Well goodnight Brick. See you in the morning." Blossom said as she opened her trailer
"Please let me treat you to dinner." Brick said bowing as he took his top hat off
"At this hour of night? You'll be lucky to find a tavern open!" Blossom laughed
"Well then lunch tomorrow!" Brick said as he came closer to her
"I should think not. Maybe some other time Brick." Blossom said
"I'll get you to go out sometime Blossom!" Brick yelled as he walked away with a grin on his face
Blossom sighed as she closed the door. "Not if I can help it Brick." She smiled and tore away her outfit and got dressed into a sleeping gown and went to bed.
