Zshizshibaby-Okay, Suzie is fine...she just went off for some R&R

Bubbles-She's reading and replying?

Zshizshibaby-...no...relaxation and rehabilitation...

Bubbles-You let HER go to a spa!?

Zshizshibaby-Well, duh, when you freak like that, it is spa time!

All the girls look at each other

Blossom-WAAAAHHHH!! BRICK BROKE MY HEART!! I'LL NEVER RECOVER! * starts crying on me*

Buttercup-All that blood!! All those groans from my fists! I'm a weapon of destruction!! *Copies Blossom*

Bubbles-No one understands me! To them I am nothing but a worthless baby!! *Copies her sisters*

Zshizshibaby-...Oh Dear Kami-san...

The liaison begins…

"So, how's it going over there? No reports of emotional breakdowns over there, so, we got a little worried…" Buttercup said when she checked in one morning.

"I think…I'm having an affair with Brick…" She whispered as she got dressed.

"What?" Buttercup looked flabbergasted.

"I don't know what happened…we just…I guess it just happened without me knowing. I was positive I could keep this strictly business…" Blossom sighed. "What if…what if it's like what Bubbles said?"

"What did I say?" Bubbles popped up on the screen.

"That we were meant to be stars. To be something bigger?"

"Bloss, we are rulers of half the WORLD! How much bigger can we get? Sure, take control of the universe, and rule over what? Space dust? Blossom, I don't think we can get any bigger."

"Half the world…maybe that's it…maybe…" Buttercup and Bubbles looked at her. "Never mind, I'm joking…"

"Ooh, apparently, Wounded Angel is getting healed by a certain…Dark Lord…" Bubbles started teasing.

"What's on that mind of yours, Bubsie?"

"So, the Wounded Angel is getting her heart mended by her forbidden and handsome Dark Lord while his mistress sleeps unaware that her master has a Wounded and petrified Angel resting passionately in his strong, abrasive arms."

"You were reading those romance novels again, weren't you?"

"Not like you're any more innocent. Who was sucking Brick's face off?" Bubbles shot back.

"Butch, Boomer!" The boys came in with puzzled looks. "Will you keep the girls company while I change. Thank you, boys!" Before they could reply, Blossom rushed to the restroom.

"We're just an escape route aren't we?" Butch muttered.

"Yeah, Wounded Angel has been jittery ever since she got there. Every time we talk…you two haven't been scaring her, have you?"

"No, we have been good! We promise!" Boomer said, throwing his hands up in mock fear.

"I think she's leaning towards it. Who knows, Blossy may fall into it, boys…but no heartbreaks!" Bubbles snarled the last part.

"Bubbles, I promise, we are trying to avoid any heart aches, tears, screaming, or any other tragic emotions…" Butch replied. Blossom climbed down out the window of her bathroom. The vines were nice and steady and leafy. The led to the outside garden where there are tons of flowers and fruits and vegetables. She dropped to the floor on the marble stone path and walked down it with wonder and amazement. She soon walked so far into the garden that she tripped on someone.

"Ya know, you may wanna watch where you walk." Brick was under her with a book tossed to the side of him. He didn't have his red cap on and his hair was done in the usual messy ponytail.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry, Brick…" Blossom replied as he sat up, she was still in her lap.

"Miss me?"

"If you're asking if I dreamed about you, then no." Blossom said. She looked into those red eyes again and thought she could see her reflection in them, like they were big rubies. She felt warm in his arm and his lips pressed against hers. At first, she accepted it with an avid groan and then she pushed away. "Brick, I-I said I didn't want that…"

"You're lying…" Brick replied, lying back. "So, you come out to escape that dungeon too?"

"If you view it a dungeon, why do you live there?" Blossom asked.

"You ask so many questions…must be smarter than I thought…" Brick replied, kissing her hand. He pulled down her bow and watched her orange hair fall in curls in his hand. She reached for his ribbon, but he twirled their hands together.

"Brick, let go…"

"…Why do you want to push away from me so badly?" Brick asked, looking at her.

"Because I don't want to be hurt again, Brick. It's got nothing to do with business or my morals, it's because I'm scared."

"What if I promised not to hurt you?" She yanked her ribbon free and got up. "Blossom? Blossom!" He got up, picked up his book, and went after. She tried her best to ignore him. She was not his play thing! She wasn't even sure he meant it all. "Blossom! Blossom, listen to me!" Brick followed her until they got to the middle, far away from the house…castle…WHATEVER! Then he grabbed her wrist and brought her close. "Blossom, I know…okay, I know I did you wrong, Blossom. But, come on…I was fourteen, I was young. I didn't know what I had…"

"Until four years after you lost it."

"And I'm trying to get it back. Blossom, you have to give me another chance and believe when I tell you that I really do care."

"A little late…"

"What do you want me to tell you?"

"I want more then 'care' Brick, I'm eighteen years old! I'm looking for so much more than that…"

"What do you want me to tell you? I love you, okay! That's how I feel…when I took over, I knew you could bring my ruler ship down without even breaking a sweat…but then you ran off and of course, I'll chase you…and all that stuff happened, you took over the other half of the world…and I saw you…so many things ran through my mind." Brick was closer now. She could feel his breath.

"Like what?"

"Like…how could I lose a girl like you? I forgot to cherish you, Blossom…I didn't give you what you needed…"

"That won't help all those years, Brick! All you're doing is just sucking up to me!" Blossom felt her eyes burn. Just stop it, Brick, please, just stop!

"There's a reason I went up and betrayed you." Brick suddenly said after ten minutes of silence. "I felt like…like I wasn't meant for you, Blossom. If I wasn't a villain, I was just scum. I was just a delinquent and already, I was thinking…what am I gonna do? I knew you needed better than me. I wouldn't be able to support you any way, I forgot our anniversary, I ignored most of your calls for no reason at all, and that present I gave to you for your fourteenth birthday was just a dang card because I forgot and didn't remember until the day you turned fourteen. I was horrible! You deserved better…then I…I got Suzie. I knew if I made myself ruler and asked you to rule with me, you'd fight me until the end…I didn't know what to do…" He sat down on the bench. "I'm not just scum anymore, Blossom…I'm royal scum…I made it no better…all those years, I just tried to push…"

"…What…? Push what, Brick?" Blossom looked at him.

"Yeah, those are the eyes. Those eyes…remember when you stared at me in disbelief…? I never forgot that…and I just tried to push them in the back of my mind…to forget how happy I was with you…but you don't know how many times they haunted my dreams, Blossom…that's why I'm so urging you to be with me. I need you, Blossom." He got on his knees and took her hand. "Blossom, I love you. I'll do anything to have you, Blossom."

"B-Brick…" She was flabbergasted. He was on his knees, he was begging. Imagine that. The Great and Fearless Brick Rowdyruff. Former ruler of the whole world, now ruler of the Western side of the world, the one who takes what he wants whether you like it or not…was on his knees begging. Blossom stared at him with wide eyes. "…I'm scared…I'm not fearless like I used to be…"

"…Blossom…are you thinking it over?" Brick asked suddenly as he stood up, still holding her hand (so romantic). Blossom nodded, confused. "Don't think it over…if there's something everyone with chemical x in their blood knows…sometimes it's best to follow your instincts…" Blossom looked at him.

"What about Suzie?"

"…" Brick looked away for a moment. He didn't answer for a long time.

Boomer-Oh no's! It's a cliff hanger!!

Zshizshibaby-I know, right? I'm gonna take a vacation now.

Butch-W-wait...you're gonna stop right here?

Zshizshibaby-Yup

Brick-You can't do that! I'm finally getting romantic with Blossom! And ya'know, when we get romantic alone then, heh, some might happen? Ya'know what I'm sayin'?

Everyone looks at him

Zshizshibaby-...Go...take a cold shower, Brick, just for that, Blossom deserves a day at the spa...

Bubbles and Buttercup-Butch, Boomer, make gross horny jokes about us too!

Boomer-Okay, wait, one might come up...

Butch-Give us a sec, okay? It's not easy coming up with these things if you're gonna push us about it...

Zshizshibaby-No more caffeine for you guys...
