Zshizshibaby-I'm still surprised that Boomer can break dance.
Boomer-I can break dance.
Brick-Since when did you learn?
Boomer-Momoko-sama (Blossom from PPGZ) taught me.
Zshizshibaby-Momoko-sama can break dance?
Boomer-Momoko-sama can break dance.
A Farewell
The next night was a farewell dinner. Earlier that day, Blossom had signed the treaty after reading it carefully and making sure that she also stayed in power. Everyone was treading on eggshells (I really love that description) because of certain rumors about Blossom and Brick's mood swings. Brick, being able to explode in anger and brood for an extensive amount of time. And Blossom, with the awesome ability to break into tears and fall subject to depression. "Blossom?" She slowly looked at him and smiled faintly. "Can I have this dance?" He asked, pointing over to the dance floor. There were couples slowly dancing to a romantic ballad.
"Brick…"
"Please?"
"…Okay…" He took her hand and slowly danced to the music with her. She had forgotten how nice it felt to feel her body against his. She couldn't look into his eyes…because then she might be persuaded to stay. She looked over to see Boomer and Bubbles dancing sweetly. They looked like two angels in love (oh come on! We all knew anyway). Then she turned her head and saw Butch and Buttercup dancing too. Buttercup was attempting to make it look like it was the worst time of her life and Butch was just avoiding her eyes. "…Looks like Butch actually may have found someone." Brick glanced to where she was looking and suppressed a chuckle.
"Hey, Butch, enjoying yourself?" He asked when they got closer.
"Funny…" He growled with irritation. They didn't see them for the rest of the night.
FREEZE! Okay, since I seriously cannot help myself, here's another Green moment…
"So, you enjoy your stay?" Butch asked as they walked into the garden.
"Well, I feel like I was in a five star hotel."
"Only five stars? Such an insult!" Butch joked as she gave him a playful punch in the arm. "I'm kind of psyched that Blossom signed the treaty. Finally! Took you girls long enough."
"Ha-ha-ha. Well, don't get all high and mighty, Butch Maxwell Jojo, we can still break it."
"Ooh, you had to say my real name? Burn!"
"Heh. Funny." She stared at the sky. "I'm a little worried about Blossom and Brick…they seem really upset…"
"I am still shocked…"
"Why?"
"Well, it's not everyday that your brother's girlfriend announces that he was in an affair."
"True…"
"And…I really hope we can get close again, like we did before." With that he kissed her. (WHOA! Way too mushy! Gotta fix that!) Buttercup blushed furiously. "Hurry up, Butter-face, or we'll miss the rest of the party!" (Much better...)
"Hold your horses, Numb-Brain!" Buttercup got up and followed him, still blushing a bit. The party was going on well. Bubbles and Boomer never left each others side.
"Come on, Buttercup."
"No."
"You have to."
"No."
"Just once. No one has heard you."
"Yes they did."
"Background."
"No…"
"Please?" Boomer finally convinced Buttercup to sing for them. She got up on stage and almost thought of flying off there, but opened her mouth and began.
"I'm not scared
Of lions
And tigers and bears
(No I'm not)
But I'm scared
Of loving you
I'm not scared
To perform
At a sold out affair
(That's right)
But I'm scared
Of loving you
Am I the only one
Who thinks
It's an impossible task
Why it don't last?
Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love love
When love seems
To hate us?" The couples began to dance slowly to the beat of the song.
"Sorry if I sound
So filled with gloom
You say you care
And I know you do
But this is
From my experience
And my conclusion
Only makes sense
Just cause I love you
And you love me
It doesn't mean
That we're meant to be
I can climb mountains
Swim cross the seas
But the most
Frightening thing
You and me"
"Hmm...sounds like something I should sing..." Blossom commented as she danced with Brick. He gave her a light chuckle.
"Most circumstances
I know my fate
But in this love thang
I don't get the game
Why does it feel
Like those who give in
They only wind up
Losing a friend
Just cause I love you
And you love me
It doesn't mean
That we'll ever be
Fly cross the ocean
Sing for the queen
But the most
Frightening thing
Is you and me
I'm sure though
I'm not sure
But if we never try
We'll never know
It's better to have loved
Then not to loved at all" Bubbles and Boomer spun around gracefully.
"Not trying is worse
Than to stumble and fall
And if we do
I'd rather it be with you
Cause at least there
Will be sweet memories
Oh, I'm not scared" As soon as she finished. The crowd cheered. They were so preoccupied that they didn't notice and small figure sneak under the tables and approach Blossom's table. The figure leaned over the table and poured in a white powdery substance. They mixed it slowly and quickly exited. Blossom went back to her table and took a swift sip before abruptedly dropping it. It tasted a bit funny. The glass shattered and everyone looked at her. She looked sort of pale and her eyes drooped slowly, making it look like she was tired.
"Blossom are you okay?" Brick walked up to her.
"I-I'm fine…I'm okay, just a bit tired…I'm going to go to my room now…"
"Then I'll stop the party."
"You've got two other angels, you know, this is their farewell party too. Don't stop it on my account…" She said. She left and almost collapsed in the hallway. She was sweating horribly and it was getting hard to breathe, but then it finally cleared up and she made it to her room where she feel into a nice painless sleep. The next day, Brick successfully kept tears as Blossom got ready to board the plane.
"You don't have to go, you know…you can rule China from here and everything would go on like normal."
"No, I want to be there too…I'll visit, I promise." She blew him a kiss and he pretended to struggle to catch it. She giggled and held her stomach. Ever since last night, she had been feeling sick.
"The stomach ache looks bad. Now, I'm really sure that you shouldn't go…" Brick said, looking a bit worried.
"I'm fine, don't worry…I'll call you as soon as we land." She hugged him and left, people carrying her luggage into the private jet. Bubbles was crying a bit when she hugged Boomer and Buttercup didn't look at Butch.
"What? No goodbye?" He asked. She looked at him over her shoulder.
"Buttercup, we have to go now! C'mon!" Bubbles called. Just than, Buttercup whirled around and planted a deep kiss on Butch's lips. Butch stood there, shocked and frozen stiff. She quickly went over to her sisters and they watched her rush into the jet. "…Bye, boys." They left much less hurriedly.
"So, Butch got charm." Boomer commented.
"Butch got charm." Brick laughed. They watched the jet shoot off sadly before tending to their shocked stiff brother.
Blossom and Brick-Butch and Buttercup sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
Buttercup-Look who's talking.
Brick-Yeah, but everyone already knew Blossom and I were in love.
Zshizshibaby-L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O-V-E!
Bubbles-Cause I'm SugarBaby, the real SugarBaby, all you other SugarBabies are just imitating, so won't the real SugarBaby please jump up? Please jump up? Please jump up?
Boomer-Let's start a riot! A riot! Let's start a riot!
Butch-I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
Is be more like me
and be less like you!!
Everyone starts clapping.
Brick-Wow, Butch, I didn't know you could sing.
Blossom-That was great. We ought to have a singing contest some time.
Everyone-Can we, Zshizshibaby?
Zshizshibaby-Sure, I'll invite everybody to sing along with us...you know what...? You guys too, if you want to sing in your reviews go ahead. And the winner gets Octi.
Bubbles-But Octi is mine *starts crying* I'll crush you all!
Zshizshibaby-Yes, compitition! And I am gonna determine the winner at the end of this story!
