Dexter's P.O.V.
A.N.-"hey! guys... so I love ALL of you so much I decided to write a couple more stories. so enjoy!" brick comes on to the stage'he's not supposed to be here' he takes my mic and I started fuming AND THEN~ he dares to pop my balloon.
"Kim stop playing' you know you only throw this stupid party because you felt guilty about leaving them in the middle of the story" That... That...
" get off the stage. .NOW!"a smirk came on his face. as if he accomplished something.
"no."he said. hell no.
"what?"
"i said 'no' cant you hear."
"brick that's not a good idea" blossom said from the side of the stage.
"i'm going kick .YOUR ass!. . .*look at camera* enjoy!" i then tacled brick.
"um...she stronger then i thought..."Blossom said trying to pull me of brick." *looks at camera* oh... um...*Dexter comes and whispers in her ear and walk off the stage* thanks!...okay before we start the chap was going to tell you the secret but I'd rather you read it...Kimberly time to start!
"fine* turns to brick* you got lucky...now LEAVE! *BRICK ran off the stage* okay please start the chap...now!
This is actually one of my favorite chapters. to both write and read. the one where the boys finally meet face to face. their encounter didn't really change all that much. I did change dexter's reason for leaving. they both in the original seemed too invested in being Love Struck for anyone to really feel a connection. so I changed that. Dexter and Brick are now what i feel to have their own story and just so happen to like Blossom. Not liking Blossom makes them a person in the story. More so to reflect the actual story.
I sigh looking over at Dee Dee. I can see in her movements she's uncomfortable and shaky while rapping Blossom in enough gauze to administer third-degree rug burns through hugs. it's been nothing but quiet between us since she had begun the process of cleaning and wrapping her wounds. The only sound came from Blossom's unsteady breathing. her body probably working overtime to heal her wounds. I tried to calm myself thinking back to what she told me one time about her body and how it works. it's not that she's in pain just that her body is trying to find the fastest method of healing and she needs... she needs rest. i should be more concerned about Dee Dee. She would want me to be more concerned over Dee Dee.
But, Dee Dee's not exactly the most inept person when it comes to seeing someone in pain, so, unfortunately, i have to hold back myself and be there for her. All while not losing my patience with him... simply invigorating. "Thank you."
"i shouldn't have left" Not the most proper of responses...
"Dee Dee..." Her shoulders shook. Of course, I have to deal with this too.
"I could have done something dexter. I... she wouldn't be here if I was out there."
"Dee Dee, you're coming from a nice place but turning this feeling into a misplaced sense of obligational martyrdom isn't-"
"It is not martyrdom!" she looked at me for the first time after setting foot into this room, and I don't think I've seen her in a more vulnerable state in quite a while. I sigh once more. something that I hope won't slowly creep up into my life more often. Gods know Mother has let it.
"Then what is it?" she looks down at the bandages she discarded in her little fit dejected.
"I just... I hear them. I know what they say and the looks they give me." I can't help but scoff at that.
"They know you do that's why-" she cut me off again...
"No Dexter. wait. They're right! If I was out there, maybe no one would have got hurt, maybe I could have found a way to avoid this entire thing. I chose to lie down and let them fall all over our land I could have- we could have done something. I... Today happened... All those people."
"Today happened because the Brothers decided foolishly to hold a display of stubbornness in the middle of a feud. Those people fought to protect families, friends, us, or ideals. none of that was forced, we'll patch them up, send them to their families and I'd bet they'd do it again for whatever reason they fought earlier. and when have you ever cared about land?"
"I don't... but-"
"No buts, Dee Dee you are one person. That was not on you. It'd sooner be my fault for not pushing harder against the Brothers when i had a bad feeling in the first place." it's a shame how true those words are. I could have prevented this. none of this had to happen.
"Dexter... That's not... I mean I didn't..."
"That's not what you were insinuating, I know."
She stared at blossom, still in her stasis. I remember she once told me healing for them is more painful than actually getting hurt. I thought she was joking or being witty but... seeing it first hand I wish she was.
"Dexter..." I knelt down to hug my sister. it isn't often I show this kind of affection to anyone, but I feel she needs it alot more than I need my pride. she squeezes me back and I give her enough time to get out one sob, then pull back to wipe her face.
"Okay, hurry now. Suck it up." She let out a small laugh as I stand up. "I mean it. she might wake up any second now and the last thing i need is you getting snot all over her while im gone." She wipes her face into the back of her hand.
"where are you heading?" Well... i can't tell you that then you'd want to come.
"for a walk," I said heading towards the door. she surprisingly said nothing as I walked out, I paused though realizing something. "Also, Dee Dee... Stop staring. It's not your fault." Then I closed the door. it's going to be a long walk. And i'd rather start now.
-At The R.R.B. House-
I rang the doorbell. 'i didn't plan this far.'
"who is it!" Boomer said trying (and failing) to mask his voice. I almost laughed at his 'female' voice.
I sighed as he asked again.'i wonder if he's as stupid as ever one else thinks he is' "Doom from iron man!"
"oh really! I'll be right there.!" 'i guess so' i stood there for awhile just to see a blonde boy in boxers with a towel on his head in front if me seconds later. 'I'm going to assume that he just came out of the shower' i thought with an anime sweat drop. "hi! Dex! have you seen Dr. Doom anywhere!"
"no. Boomer, can I come in?"
"of course... not. Brick said I can't let anyone in"
"what if I gave you a lollipop" he froze.
"what flavor"
I held out four lollipops I took from blossom pocket "all"
"you promise not to hit anyone?"
"of course" he stepped out of my way. and I went up stares "...not"I walked in Brick's room to find Brick on his bed.
"what did I say about entering my room without-" his expression changed from a glare to a shocked glare. "De-" before he finished his sentence tackled him on the floor he pushed me off and quickly got up. "is the mutt mad?"
"you better not touch her again," I said getting up to.
"wait, before we do this whole song and dance... how'd you get in here?"
"that's not important, who the hell do you think you are crashing a reunion? how lame. that's so lame that they need a new word for it how about.. brick?"
"real mature, doggy"
" for the freaking last time." jumped on him and started punching him with each punch I made out these words "I. AM. A. WOLF." brick kicked me off him then smirked as he wiped some blood off he face. He's just toying with me...
"did you tell her that" we both knew he was talking about blossom. I got up completely ready punch his dumb ass face in, but before I started he got up and gutted me, spun and kicked straight into the wall. I growled getting ready to get up and kick his sorry butt but before I got to something caught my eye. a photo of brick and... blossom?
she was smirking smugly arms folded faced away from an angry brick but looking at the camera. brick looked beyond the point of no return but i noticed something else brick was-was-was blushing?
I was stunned, they were friends? I can't exactly say she lied I never asked. well, I found out something I really didn't want to know.
"you guys are friends?"
"yeah, me and her go way back..." I raise an eyebrow at his sudden change of character "I mean... yeah you could say that."
"wait you try to kill her and, you still say you're friends?"
"yup Blossy and I have an understanding when we're not on duty we're friends- sometimes. when we are we hold nothing back," he said as if it was just nothing. "I guess for someone who has never been a super it's a hard concept to understand right?"
i punch him hard as i could."bastard!"
he fell to the ground holding his looked at me "you knocked out my tooth! do you know how long it'll take me to grow that back! alright, you know what? fine. you really wanna die that badly. Let's go. But don't say I didn't give you ample chances to stop." he said slowly getting into a position to what I assume to be leap at me.
"Right." i said cracking my knuckles. "and when i'm bashing your face in, try not you be a spazz about it."
- one fight later~
"you-! just stay away from her, you don't deserve a girl like her, anyhow!" I said now pinned.
"Oh, really, and you do?" Brick shouted back.
"you're the one who wanted leave her you can't just come back and expect her to fall at your feet like the other girls! just go back to whatever dump came, better yet why don't you just go drown your self in the toilet you crawled out of"
"are you really in the position to make demands?"
"I'd say so right Bubbles" we looked towards where the voice came from and there stood the pink-eyed beauty herself. She seemed fine, slight cuts b- suddenly I became aware of how not exactly... impressive my being trapped under brick is... not exactly the stance of a savor... how long has she been there?
"uh-huh!" Bubbles said happily.
"so we could do it the fast and easy way -Bubbles way- or the slow and painful -my way- either way, we kick your butt," Blossom said. Brick fired at her, Blossom smirked and caught it. "bubbles way it is"
"bubble cannon!" she took a deep breath and spit out thousands of bubbles before we got hit a streak of pink flashed in front of me.
-building top-
when I opened my eyes, I was met two angry looks. I smiled at Blossom who just continued to stare blankly at me. I once again sighed realizing they weren't going to just let bygones be bygones. "how did you find me?"
"Dee Dee called me for Blossom, I came over to help out. then Bloss asked where you-" she was interrupted.
"you could have died!"
"yeah haha for a genius you sure don't think" Blossom glared at her. "hey, it was funny!"
"I would have been fine." there was a brief silence then they both laughed at my statement. I sighed grabbed blossom's hand and jump off the building and we shot off.
A.N-i'm too tired but that's okay you should know why-hint: starts with S ends with ends with an UMMER.
