Chapter 2

Bubbles' Side

The boys snickered.

"How'd you like that Power Puff Babies, we whooped your good!!" the boys said with a laugh.

"We'd love to stay and chat but school's going to start soon, kick your butts later!" and they were off!

"YOU JERK!" Buttercup said picking up a stone and throwing it at Butch hitting him in the head. Seeing his angry face gave her some satisfaction.

Boomer looked back at me with sorry eyes but I simply looked away, I couldn't help it.

Flashback

"Eeee Boomer stop, stop it!!" I squealed with joy. "Please, put me down!!!" We had perched ourselves in a tall oak tree branch and he had decided the he wanted to dangling me in his arms off the edge.

"Anything for you babe!" He then held me tighter in his arms and jumped off the tree. At first we were falling (I had forgotten for a moment that we had superpowers) and then the falling stopped! We were now just hovering in the air. He pulled me to him and held me close against his chest, whispering in my ear. "l love you." I blushed and kissed his cheek. "I love you too."

But those were the good times, when Boomer and I...were boyfriend and girlfriend...

End of Flashback

Boomer's Side

When Brick, Butch and I had gotten to class we were 5 minutes late. Unfortunately for us, this did not exactly please our teacher Miss. Lopez.

"Boys!!! You are late! Mr. Butch what is your excuse?"

"Listen hag, I was busy." he grunted.

Everyone exploded out laughing- except for Miss. Lopez. She puffed up like a big blowfish making her face grow hot and red from anger!!!

"BUTCH!!! THAT'S TWO WEEKS DETENTION. NOW SIT DOWN AT THE BACK!!"

Butch simply walked over and sat his lonely tush down in the back corner. Sometimes he's so dumb; he could have just lied about it.

Miss. Lopez turned to Brick and me. "And what do you have to say for yourselves?"

"Me and Boomer were in the gym talking to Mr. Brown." said Brick thinking quick.

"Alright then, to your seats immediately!"

Brick and I walked over to our seats.

Miss Lopez was about to begin with her morning French lesson when suddenly the door opened and Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles came walked in.

"Again? More late people!!" She wailed. "Now Miss. Buttercup, may I ask why you are late?"

"Uh I uh… I was getting a drink." she lied. This made everyone laugh out loud- including Butch. (I knew he had a thing for her)

"A drink 7 minutes long?" questioned Miss. Lopez skeptically.

"Uh well you know me!" she said ruffling her black hair. "I can be like WICKED thirsty." Buttercup lied again with a mischievous grin.

Everyone laughed so hard as if this was the one of funniest mornings that they had ever had! One kid even got a nose bleed (why does that always happen?)

"Miss Buttercup one week's detention." Miss. Lopez sighed.

Buttercup groaned "Aw. Come on Miss. Lopez, don't be an old bag!"

This made even me laugh. Buttercup and Butch were so alike.

"THAT'S IT TWO WEEKS DETENTION YOUNG LADY, NOW YOU GO SIT IN THE BACK CORNER BESIDE BUTCH!" she screeched.

Buttercup slowly turned her head to see Butch in the back corner wink and wave at her.

"Uh… I'd prefer not." She said blankly.

"NOW!" Miss. Lopez growled.

Buttercup slowly made her way over next to Butch and sat at her desk. After Miss. Lopez turned to Blossom and Bubbles.

"Oh we were in Miss Joyce's science room!" said Blossom with a cheeky grin.

I could tell that Brick was impressed with Blossom's quick thinking because one corner of his mouth raised and he cocked an eyebrow. (hmm I had a feeling he was into her too)

"Is this true Bubbles?" Miss. Lopez said lightly (Bubbles had always been her favorite)

Bubbles' cheeks turned red a little, yet she still was able to maintain that angelic smile. "Yes Mme Lopez."

Something about seeing her do this unlocked a billion crickets in my stomach all at once. She even said Mme. She should get brownie points for that!

"Ok, you both may be seated." said Miss Lopez. Bubbles and Blossom then found their desks in the middle row. Bubbles had been seated beside some kid named James. Later on in the lesson he threw an eraser at her in order to get her attention. When she turned around to see what he wanted, he winked at her and mouthed:

I want you sexy babe!

I saw her cheeks turn a bright shade of red but she flipped her attention from him back to the lesson. What an Asshole!!! I made a mental note to myself: Kick ass after school!

When the lesson was finally over and people were exiting the classroom and making their way down the halls, I saw James and his friends looking over at Bubbles as she was talking to one of the teachers.

'Hmmm…maybe I could do it now' I thought to myself. "Heck, I could even make it look like an accident!"

I walked up behind James where there was an open locker.

"Yo James!" I called.

He turned around and that's when I slammed the locker door square in his face. When James crumbled down to the floor holding his nose in pain I closed the locker.

"Oh sorry man, my bad." I said innocently as I walked away. Wow that felt satisfying!

Bubble's Side

When the day was over I was dead tired and was swarmed with a LOT of science homework. When I was asking Mr. Keen - the science teacher- about the evaporation system and the water cycle, I had seen James get hit in the nose with a locker door by Boomer. At that point in time, I was so glad that Boomer was around; James was always pestering me! But… for some strange reason, I felt like it was not accident... Oh well.

When the bell rang and school had ended- Blossom, Buttercup and I were about to fly home. Buttercup had won 6 packs of gum in Geography class for being the lucky person to get all the oral pop quiz questions right first. She was busy enjoying her gum blowing big bubbles and talking about her victory (she didn't even offer us a piece! tear tear). We were so intrigued - actually AMAZED- by her good fortunate and spark of ingenious, that we didn't even notice the Rowdy Ruff Boys were behind the school fence…waiting for us.

"Well look at that! What a pure coincidence that we meet again- 20 feet up in the sky." said Brick with an evil snicker.

"You know, your face being everywhere is really starting to annoy me!" retorted Blossom in a huff.

Brick turned red in anger and charged at her- thus starting the fight. Butch and Buttercup had also taken off kicking and punching. I saw that she socked him in the gut while he threw her into a wall.

"You'll pay for that!" she said mashing her gum into his hair. However he merely took it out and popped it in his mouth.

"Well I can improvise this as a kiss from you lil flower." Buttercup began to blushed but tried not to show it while throwing a punch.

It was just me and Boomer left, face… to face.

He then suddenly bent his head low and whispered. "I'll give you 5 seconds. Try to beat it out of here while you can."

Boomer…he didn't want to fight me just as much as I didn't want to fight him! But…but I- I couldn't just leave my sisters.

He looked back up and began chasing me all through the air as I tried to dodge every laser he aimed at me but he was catching up to me way too fast. I trying so hard to dodge as many things he threw at me as I possibly could. Then (for some strange reason) I heard him laughing.

"If you don't want me to get you then you'd better go a little faster!" he said laughing in a sing-song voice.

The minute he said that it triggered something in my head. Then I remembered. I started to laugh. He still remembers that time! I then turned around to reply.

"Don't worry! You won't" I grinned.

I tried to make my way away from him but I then heard Brick call out after me to Boomer.

"BOOMER? WHAT'S TAKING YOU SON LONG JUST TO ATTACK? BUTCH, GIVE HIM A HAND! WILL YA?"

…crud

Instantaneously, -out of nowhere- I was hit by one of Butch's static energy power blasts.

"Got her!" he cried triumphantly.

"BEKA!!" Buttercup cried.

"C'mon lil flower. Don't swear at me, especially in Japanese. It only turns me on- OOf-" he was cut short when she gave a punch in the gut then let him taste one of her neon fire blasts.

"Shove it!" I heard her yell.

Uh! My back! Why was everyone ganging up on me? Uhhh, it stung so badly and smoke was starting to rise from my shirt. I felt a little light headed but I still tried to speed away from everyone. (That, my dear friends, was a very bad bad idea.)

Brick and Butch started speeding up to after me! Where were my sisters? I thought. Then (as if they had heard my thoughts) a pink light suddenly shot after Brick pulling him to the ground. Blossom!

"Back off my sister." she said giving him cut eye.

"YOUR BUTT IS MINE NOW!!!" he cried. She then took his cap away and started pulling at his hair. Well that got Brick away but Butch was still gadding on me. I turned my head to see how far he was. He was right at my heal. When I turned around I saw Buttercup with a HUGE tree!

"DUCK!!!!" she yelled. (WFT?!?) When I did, she waved it over her head as if it were a baseball bat and (I MUST say this in so many words) made it connect SOO beautifully to his head, I just wanted to clap.

"What The Hell?!?" he cried.

"Oh sorry hun, did I hit you? My bad." she grinned while patting the tree.

"Don't act fresh with me! GET OVER HERE!" he cried speeding off with her.

I had been watching all this (and not even looking where I was going) when I bumped RIGHT into a tree. (That tree was NOT there before, seriously!) I hit right into my wound that I had gotten, and it began to hurt even more. Suddenly, I felt drained. Then I- I began fell.

Then, as if a bolt of lightning, Boomer came and swooped me up by my shoulders.

"Hey beautiful!" he said in a romantic voice. "Does this remind you of something?" he smiled warmly at me and my cheeks turning a bright shade of red, why am I blushing? I looked up at him.

"Boomer… thank you." I said in a small voice.

Suddenly, I realized that he was taking me AWAY from the school, away from the others.

"Boomer. Where are we going?" I said surprised?

"You'll see." Was his only reply.

We were going in the park. Then he stopped at a tree. He gently landed and we stood in front of it. This tree…it-it was OUR tree. I looked at the B+B symbol inscribed in it. Then, I began to feel sad all of a sudden and turned away from him.

He looked at me with sympathy in his eyes and turned me around to face him. We were standing right it, and just stood there... looking at each other. Then he slowly put his arms around my waist then put his forehead to mine. He tightened his grip around my waist and kissed me warmly. I didn't want to but I couldn't help it…kissed back. It felt like hours we were kissing then, I realized what I was doing. I pulled away from him. "I can't." I couldn't help the tears falling down my cheeks. I tried to walk away, but he only pulled me back. I stopped- I couldn't look at him; I didn't want to.

"Please…stop." when more tears came a pouring, he then let go. He looked at me with sorry eyes but I looked away again and then flew home.

Boomer's Side

When school was out Brick had the idea of fighting the girls again today.

"Yo dude, you up for another battle" he said as he exited the school.

"I'm up for any battle man, you should know that without even having to ask." snorted Butch with a devious grin.

We decided to wait behind the school fence for a surprised attack. When we saw the girls exiting the school, we saw Buttercup blowing a huge bubble, and then it popped all over her face. Blossom and Bubbles were laughing as Buttercup pulled the gum off rolling her eyes and putting it back in her mouth. I'm not sure if they were aware of it, but Butch had a grin on his face at that point and Brick was re-fixing his cap in place. When the girls reached the corner they stopped in their tracks.

"Well well wel, look at that! What a pure coincidence that we meet again- 20 feet up in the sky." said Brick with a snicker. (what's with the wells now a days?)

"You know, your face being everywhere is really starting to annoy me!" said Blossom with the fold of the arms. (ooooooo shame! I thought to myself. Blossom steemed Brick)

Brick then charged at her while Butch and Buttercup were long gone. Leaving me and Bubbles, face...to face.

I then bent his head low do nobody but us could hear what I was saying then whispered. "I'll give you 5 seconds. Try to beat it out of here while you can." I really didn't want to fight her.

As if she had understood she began sto speed away.

I then charged at her in order to at least start something. I shot lasers at her but apparently she had gotten good at her dodging and agility for she had whizzed past ever single one of them. Doing this suddenly started to make me remember something, from the past..."If you don't want me to get you then you'd better go a little faster!" he said laughing in a sing-song voice.

Flashback

"Hey Bubbles, are you awake?" rubbing her arm.

"Yup." She said with a smile. "Always was!" I grinned back at her. It was late last summer night where we- the Power Puff Girls and the Rowdy Ruff Boys- were stranded in the wilderness, back then we hadn't realized that it was all caused by Him. However, me and Bubbles decided to make the best of it, we made a plan to sneak off when the others had fallen asleep to have a little 'alone time'. We left the snoozing group as we tried to quietly tiptoe away. Blossom had fallen asleep on Brick's chest while he had his arms entwined around her, and Butch and Buttercup had fallen asleep sitting down side by side and leaning on a big log shoulder to shoulder. Buttercup was leaning on him with her arms crossed against her while Butch had his arm around her shoulder. (you could have imagined the total chaos that happened that next morning though) Me and Bubbles flew off. At first we were just playing a game of laser tag where I was trying to catch her as she flew away.

"If you don't want me to get you then you'd better go a little faster!" I laughed chanting in a sing-song voice.

"Don't worry, you won't!" she turned around and cheered. Her cheeks were bright and she had an angelic smile on her face as she sped up. At that point we were going supersonic speed.

In the end I did catch her and when I did I tickled her until she wasn't able to laugh anymore and tears were pouring out of her eyes. I then grabbed her up and carried her bridal style, holding her close to me. She put her arms around my neck and kissed me. I kissed her back. Everything was perfect with us alone. Me…her…and just the moon.

End of Flashback

The minute I said that I could tell that it triggered something in her head. When she turned around she had on a cheeky smile and she was laughing.

"Don't worry! You won't" I beamed.

Suddenly I heard a call out from Brick.

"BOOMER? WHAT'S TAKING YOU SON LONG JUST TO ATTACK? BUTCH, GIVE HIM A HAND! WILL YA?"

…CRAP!

I heard Blossom yell. "No!!! Leave her alone!" and just then she zapped me with a laser (I can tell ya, that girl has GOOD aim) cause she got me right in my back, sending me crashing into a bunch of trees. I wasn't exactly sure what happened then cause all I saw was black. Before that, the last thing I saw was Brick and Butch ganging up on her.

I didn't know where I was, all I knew was that everything was dark. I heard this voice repeat in my head over and over again.

"Massster when ssshall we attack her?"

"I shall make my move when the girl least expects it, when I have gained Bubble's trust (that voice. I-I've heard it before. But where?)

When I woke up from that strange blackout I found myself buried under a bunch of trees. The fight was still going on. I saw Brick and going at it and so were Butch and Buttercup. But where was Bubbles? I scanned the area for it but I couldn't find her. Suddenly I saw a bright indigo streak of light. I looked a little closer to see…BUBBLES, and she was FALLING. Like a speed of light whizzed up and grabbed herby her shoulders. I looked down at her and her eyes were closed. (Awww) It took 10 seconds before she opened them.

"Hey beautiful! Does this remind you of something?" I said smiling at her. Her cheeks began to turn red. (how I loved it when she blushed.) She then looked up me..

"Boomer… thank you." She said in a quiet voice.

I then began to fly over to the park. To our spot.

"Boomer. Where are we going?" she said a little startled.

"You'll see." Was what I said to her. I didn't want to ruin this.

We were in the park. Then I stopped our tree and gently landed placing her down lightly. We stood in front of it. She then looked at the B+B symbol that I had written in it from long time ago. Boomer and Bubbles. She looked down at her shoes and turned away from me.

I looked at her; I knew exactly what she was thinking about. I turned her around to face me so I could see her face again and we just stood there... looking at each other. I put my arms around her waist then put my forehead to hers. I tightened my grip around my waist and kissed her affectionately. At first she resisted, hitting me on my chest. But it didn't hurt though, I could tell that she was weak. Then…she kissed back. It felt like heaven feeling her lips against mine and I never wanted it to end. Then, she pulled away.

"I can't." tears began to fall down her cheeks. She began to walk away but I pulled her back. She stopped, not looking at me.

"Please…stop." She sniffled. More tears poured down her innocent face, then…I let her go.
