Zshizshibaby-Suzie is having a horrible emotional breakdown because of the main couple of the story...so anyway, continue, Suzie.
Suzie-I just...it's just so hard okay. I try so hard to please everyone. *sob* A-and it's not fair when you feel unloved...but you've never felt that way, Zshizshibaby *sob* Even if you are a bit...unstable at times...people love you for that. You're...you're fun, and friendly at times, you're a good at cooking for a beginner...you have...great imagination...but what about me? Am I at least cute or pretty?
Boomer-Can you at least read the disclaimer?
Zshizshibaby-Boomer, hush!
Skip what chapter it is!! Realizing!
The weather was fairly nice. It was cool, calm, breezy. Blossom looked beautiful. So beautiful that Brick found himself staring at her. She was wearing a pink sundress with a lemonade pink sun hat too with pink ribbon tied off in a bow. "Everyone is happy today." Blossom's voice broke through his deep thoughts.
"Oh, right, yeah. It's the annual boat race. It's today remember?" Brick said, looking at her. Suzie sat at his opposite. She was wearing a blue version of what Blossom was wearing except she had a visor instead of a hat. Blossom nodded and nibbled on that tiny sandwich she was given. She glared secretly in her direction. She had been here for a few weeks, observing discreetly as the citizens went about their daily life schedule. She had made a few reminders to herself, but so far, she had been pretty satisfied…Buttercup and Bubbles said that the food was growing slowly again and the kingdom was proceeding nicely. Once and awhile, Blossom showed her wings, but hardly ever sang for them. Too much of a distraction. And Brick gave her his undivided attention when she entered the room. Suzie had grown to hate her, but she was pretty good at masking it. At least from the others. Blossom knew,, but Suzie didn't know that she knew that she was the only one who knew Suzie hated her, but everyone else didn't know (ya'know?).
"Brick! Brick, it's starting now…" She said, pointing ahead and shaking him.
"Yeah! Yeah, I can see that!!" He told her as he steadied himself. Blossom giggled as she turned her head to watch. The boats were moving at a remarkable rate, with people cheering the yachts on and on. Blossom had to admit, she was being sold on the idea of an alliance with him. He wasn't all about himself. He actually did care a bit about his people. The boats honked as they turned to go back to the start up/finish line. A white boat was in the lead. It had gold colored rims and said S.S. MOREBUCKS on it (oh dear Kami-san, no…). Then something happened. Another boat went off course and rammed into the first boat, causing it to stop and the others to crash into something or another boat and they started to sink. "Oh no, send in the speed boats." Brick ordered. Blossom had one hand over her mouth when she heard a faint cry from a woman.
"My daughter is missing! She was on one of those boats! You have to find her!"
"Ma'am, we checked all the other boats, there wasn't another person, I'm sure she's on one of the other speedboats." An officer said. Blossom listened quietly.
"Mama!" She could hear the child. She was very far and very quiet even with her shouts. They couldn't hear her over the commotion. Blossom suddenly jumped into the water and dived under, searching.
"What in the world!!!? She just jumped in!" Suzie shouted.
"Blossom!!" Brick said at the same level. Blossom finally found her far off from shore, scared out of her wits. She was splashing around, frantic.
"Okay, okay, I've got you." Blossom said, taking hold of her. Her wings suddenly appeared and she slowly lifted out of the water. People clapped as they saw her take off to the shore and reveal the little girl. "What's your name?"
"Ann…Ann Drakson." (I made an even stupider name…)
"Annie!! Annie!" The woman came running to Blossom and scooped her child out of Blossom's arms, cradling the blonde child. Brick let out a breathe he was holding.
"Dock us with the Wounded Angel." Brick ordered. Later that night, Blossom actually did sing.
"Ooh, no
Yeah, yeah
She's got green eyes
and she's 5'5"
Long brown hair all down her back
Cadillac truck
So the heck what
What's so special about that
She used to model, she's done some acting
So she weighs a buck 'o 5
And I guess that she's alright if perfection is what you like" The after party was dancing slowly to the song.
"Ooh, ooh, and I'm not jealous, no I'm not
Ooh, ooh, I just want everything she's got
Ooh, ooh, you look at her so amazed
I remember way back when you used to look at me that way
Tell me what makes her so much better than me (so much better than me)
What makes her just everything I can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can remember when it was me" Brick had a feeling that this song was being directed at him about his relationship with him and Suzie.
"And now you don't feel the same
I remember you would shiver every time I said your name
You said nothing felt as good as when you gaze into my eyes
Now you don't care I'm alive
How did we let the fire die
Ooh, ooh, and I'm not jealous, no I'm not
Ooh, ooh, I just want everything she's got
Ooh, ooh, you look at her so amazed
I remember way back when you used to look at me that way" This song was sung out more than any other song. This had her whole heart in it. She had to keep herself from crying.
"What makes her so much better than me (so much better than me)
What makes her just everything I can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can remember when it was me
That made you smile (me)
That made you laugh (me)
Me that made you happier than you have ever been, oh me
That was your world (me
Your perfect girl
Nothing about me has changed
That's why I'm here wondering
What makes her so much better than me (so much better than me)
What makes her just everything I can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can remember when it was me
What makes her so much better than me (so much better than me)
What makes her just everything I can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can remember when it was me
When it was me
When it was me
When it was me." People clapped and cheered for such singing. They called for encores and danced with her when it was someone else's turn to sing. Brick watched her throughout the night. How could he miss someone like her? "That was really fun, Brick, thank you for taking me…" Blossom said as they walked to her room.
"Well, you were the highlight of the party. That is some voice you have on you."
"Thank you again…"
"It's how you gained everyone's trust back in China and all the others."
"I knew someone like you would figure it out." Blossom said, walking evenly. Her pink wings were still out, as long and beautiful as usual. They passed an opening to the garden in the middle of the castle, where the fountain was and Blossom noticed how beautiful it was. There was a wooden swing for two on a tree branch a few yards in front of it. There wasn't a ceiling above it, exposing the night sky. "May I?" Brick looked over and nodded. She went over and sat on the swing, slowly rocking back and forth.
"6:30 winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her Swanbrook home
A kindest heart which always made
Me ashamed of my own
She walks alone but not without her name" Brick sat at the tree trunk and closed his eyes, listening to her sing.
"Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field" He could feel a cool breeze whisk past, calling him to relax his tense muscles. Blossom watched him at his side, singing to him softly.
"Mocked by man to depths of shame
Little girl with life ahead
For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts
Time for one more daring dream
Before her escape, edenbeam
We kill with her own loving heart" This song reminded him of Blossom actually. Loving heart was her, she was wounded. Now he got it. He killed her emotionally with her own love.
"Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field" He can be such a monster.
"Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field" Brick slowly opened his eyes as she stopped. "Did you ever notice…that I've sung here, in person, with you in the crowd…and you seem to relax extremely. It's like you…" Blossom noticed that he was no longer at her side, but in front of her.
"Let's get you to your room…you've had a long day…" He said briskly before reaching for her hand. They walked for a few more moments until Blossom spoke up again.
"Brick…may I have my hand back…" Brick blushed furiously before letting go, not meeting her eyes. To tell the truth, she was starting to have mixed feelings (Oooh) about him. She didn't want to meet his eyes either. They finally reached the door.
"Say, have you noticed that you never made those wings of your disappear?" Brick asked. Blossom stifled a gasp and blushed. Brick slowly picked her up, gently, and kissed her for a long while. Blossom couldn't decide. She could push him off and tell him to stop or she could enjoy this kiss. Sure, before he took over, he had kissed her many times before, but never this passionately. She chose the second choice and wrapped her arms around his neck, ignoring the feeling of shame and fear and let out a slight moan of happiness. She felt a smirk against her lips as he carried her inside her room and laid her down on her bed before pushing his tongue in. They stayed that way, moving occasionally, but…like all humans, even those who aren't FULLY human, they needed air and let go. Brick panted as Blossom let out breath after breath. "T-that was something…" He said. Their lips were slightly darker from pushing so hard.
"C-can we not do that?"
"Didn't like it?"
"…N-no, I loved it…but you're with someone else and I can't…" Brick nodded.
"Blossom, you do know I never stopped having feelings for you, right?" (what!? Than why were you so dogged on capturing her and locking her away!?) Brick said calmly. Blossom looked at him in disbelief.
"…If you really…felt that way about me…why'd you hurt me?" Blossom asked, looking at him with sadder eyes. Brick couldn't pull his eyes away from them. Blood red met sunset pink.
"…I don't know…why do people do anything cruel to others…some to be cruel…some to hide inscurities…others to hide how…" Brick leaned in again and teased her lips with his own, "they really feel…" Blossom sighed.
"Brick, you have a girlfriend…someone much prettier…you seem to have a steady relationship with her…I don't want to come between that…"
"You're lying."
"I am not." He kissed her again before getting up to leave.
"Good night, Blossom…" He got to the door before stopping. "Oh, this had nothing to do with…the alliance or anything…I kissed you because…" He couldn't seem to finish it that fast. "I still care about you, Blossom…Really…" Blossom sat on her bed and watched the door close slowly. Brick walked away, unaware that Suzie had seen the whole thing. She heard what he said too. She was beyond angry. He actually was more in love with her! HER!! Suzie ran to her room, hoping Blossom every pain imaginable.
Zshizshibaby-So, can you tell me more about how you feel?
Suzie-It's not fair, Zshizshibaby! The characters who are 'standing in the way of true love' don't you all think of us? You made us! All of you made at least one of us! And you always make us seem evil, make us the evil ones, make us the ugly ones...but how do we feel? Do we get with them because we're evil? Or because we don't want to be lonely and we want to feel in love for once? You guys made us, make it fair! You're our makers!! Like parents! Zshizshibaby, you're my mother! Love me too!! *Falls to her knees and starts crying on my*
Zshizshibaby-Suzie...
Suzie-Mama, I wanna be loved too! don't forget me! I'm alone! I don't want to be left alone! love me too! Make me fall in love too! It doesn't have to be Brick or Boomer or Butch or Dexter, just let me feel love too, Mama!! *sobbing hysterically*Mama! Mama! Mama!
Zshizshibaby-...Oh, Suzie, do you need a hug? *Hugs Suzie*Just R&R while I take care of Suzie here...
Suzie-Won't anyone think of us? *Sob*
