Chapter 3

Bubbles' Side

"STUPID STUPID STUIPID! Why did I let him do that?!? Why did I let him kiss me? Why did I kiss back?!?! What's wrong with me?!?!" I said asking Octi all my questions. He just gave me a blank stare.

I threw my head into my pillow so it could soak up all my tears. I'm so dumb. I got up from my bed and went to my bathroom to wash my face. It was all tear streaked. When I came out of the bathroom to lie down on the bed I heard knocking on the door.

"Oh!!" I let out a silent gasp. I looked at the clock. 9:30 it read. Blossom, Buttercup and I always had our little girl talks at this time. I quickly jumped in my bed, fixed up my hair and propped Octi safely in my lap. There, that was more casual than I possibly could get.

"Come in!" I called. The door flew open and Blossom and Buttercup came rushing (actually Blossom was the one rushing in) she was dragging Buttercup in by her arm (Buttercup hated these talks)

Blossom was wearing her pink silk nightgown that was long and went beyond her toes, while Buttercup wore her light green tank top that had "Rotten to the core" written on it. She also was wearing her lucky brown boxers.

Blossom (I guess it's just instinct) got right into it.

"Can you believe those Stupid Rowdy Ruff Boys? They feel that they can pick a fight with us anytime they feel. Especially Brick, he's such a bum!!" she said fuming.

"Perky or firm?" Buttercup snickered. Blossom turned a bright red. I couldn't scuffle my laughs that point in time. Seeing Blossom like this was a real riot!

"We know you dig him." Buttercup nudged her. "I saw what you did today, the cap thing!"

"What are you talking about?" Blossom huffed.

"I saw you take his cap and put it on your head. And when you said it looked better on you and he agreed, you couldn't help your uncontrollable blushing dear sister. These eyes miss nothing, they're as sharp as an eagles' so don't even try to deny it!'" Buttercup blurted out in a snort.

"Well what about you hun? I saw when you and Butch were fighting. And when you put your gum in his hair he ate it with pleasure. And when he grabbed you by your waist and held you against the wall I could like soo tell you enjoyed it. You liiiiiiiiiiiiiked it! You loooooooooooved it!" Blossom said in a sing-song voice.

"Shut your TRAP."

They began to smack each other in the gut with the pillow about a billion times before they even noticed me.

'Crud, it's my turn' I thought to myself.

"Well Bubbles, we didn't really see you and Boomer. What happened?" they asked me.

"Nothing." I said silently lowering my head.

Boomer's Side

I was in my room sitting on the bed and flipping through channels but nothing interested me. I couldn't help thinking about her. Bubbles. I made her cry before she left. What's wrong with me!?! I'm always doing that…

Flashback

"Hi Boomer!" Bubbles said skipping over to me. She gave me one of her warm squishy hugs. Her cheeks had a gorgeous glow and her lips were rosy red- so kissable. But I couldn't. If I didn't want her life to be in danger I was going to have to do this.

"Get away from me!" I couldn't look at her and I had my back turned. I was breathing hard. I didn't want to do this. But I had to. I felt her let go of me and stand back. Then I felt her hug me again. She laughed.

"Oh Boomer, don't tease me you know I don't like it." This girl is so loving. I lowered my head.

"I'm not joking. Now let go of me!" she let go. The she went in front of me. The first thing I saw were tears beginning to fill her eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" she said, her voice sounded shaky and nervous.

I had to make this more real. I grabbed her by her shoulders. "The problem is YOU. You don't….please me anymore. You make me sick. I can't look at you…..we have to break up." I looked at her again.

"Please, what did I do." She said in a weak voice."

"Get RID of her or she DIES!!' yelled a voice in my head. It was Him.

"I said get AWAY!!" I yelled. I then slapped her across the face. This made all the tears that she was holding in cascade out of her eyes and the hair band that she used to tie her hair back flew out. She fell back into a tree; her hair fell over her face. Her head was turned. HOLLY CRAP! WHAT HAVE I DONE??? I looked at my hand, and it was red pure red, and it hurt. Oh No. I hit her too hard. She turned her face to me. Her cheek was pure RED too! I still saw the hand mark that I had left- still fresh.

One last tear fell down her cheek before she said, "Ok.." then she ran off into the park, her hair blowing in the breeze. I followed her with my eyes. Wanting to call out to her.

"Oooooo, Nice Job. That was a good idea to slap her." said that voice.

I bent down and picked her hair band then put it on my wrist.

'I made her cry' I thought to myself…

End of Flashback

I snapped out of my thoughts and flipped through another channel. I then looked at my wrist…at Bubbles' hair band. I never took it off after that day. Just then my door flew open and in barged Brick and Butch.

"Hey man!" said Brick? bringing in a bag of popcorn and plopped himself on my bed blocking the TV. Butch made himself to my mirror with a pair of scissors in his hand.

I rolled my eyes. "What? You broke your own TV and mirrors?" I asked in sarcasm.

"Well actually Butch broke both of ours." he said glaring at Butch.

"Mm Shut up." said Butch with gum in his mouth- Buttercup's gum.

"Aaaaaaanyways." said Brick. "Did you see Butch's fight with Buttercup?" he snickered.

Butch's head snapped over to Brick.

"WHA??" he said accidentally snipping off a little too much hair –he was trying to cut the left over gum- but it didn't look that bad.

"Yea, I saw what you did to Buttercup, pushing her into the wall and all. Did you see the look on the both of your faces? It was like WOW." he said with a loud laugh!

I snickered and rolled my eyes. I could really imagine him doing that, he's really very forceful.

"Well what about you and that Cherry Blossom 'eh?! You were all over her. And when she took your hat it was like the best thing she could have done! She eared a standing ovation! How did she know that that was what really got you steamed?" "And when she put it on her head…ahhh that was just plain glorious. Your mouth was all open and stuff, you could have caught flies with it."

Brick threw popcorn at him! After they finished their popcorn war they noticed me.

'Crap, my turn.'

"Well…..what happened with you and the Bubbles?"

"Oh uh…nothing much. We were the only people on task." I said.

The guys look at me like I was weird, but I didn't care.

Bubbles' Side

"Aaaaanyways lets hit the hay." said Blossom.

"Ok then." said Buttercup with a yawn.

"Ok." I said ushering them out the door. "Goodnight."

After when I closed the door I breathed a sigh of relief, I turned off the lights and then went to bed.

Outside Bubbles' Window sitting on a Branch

"Masssster, when ssshall we sssstrick?"

he paused.

"…….tomorrow. I shall leave my target with a little present in the meantime."
