Chapter 11 The return home
Quanktumspirit: "Please review I own nobody, oh and I am working now on the 2nd half of the introduction to this story about the Rowdyruffboy's father and mother, they will come up in this story, also at the beginning I'm going to give the story a slight BoomerXBruiser bromance."
Whiles, they travelled the Knights insisted the Princesses should sleep in the tents this time around. They were ok to sleep in makeshift hammocks on some trees.
The Princesses nodded and wished the Knights a good and a save night. As the 8 were asleep Boomer keep thinking back to the Prince words. What did they mean?
Flashback
"We all are very sure Sir Bruiser, neither of us can go any further than the friendship we have built up with them. And we don't want to, I talked with Princess Bubbles about it and she said that she can't fall in love with me because somebody has her heart already," Prince Cody said.
Back
Boomer looked towards the stars confused. Who then had Bubbles heart? If Prince Cody said the truth then Princess Bubbles must be madly in love with somebody else.
But as far as Boomer could think Prince Cody was the only man in Princess Bubbles life so far. Oh my god, Boomer's eyes widened shocked. He thought then that Princess Bubbles was in love with her own father. But then he quickly shook his head, they may have a father and daughter relationship as anybody else, but Bubbles wasn't romantic involved with her father at all, but then who?
Boomer hasn't noticed any other men in Princess Bubbles life. Except- Boomer's face turned bright red. Himself. He was the only other man in her life now. No wonder she nearly jumped out of her skin as she looked at him.
Boomer still remembers it as clear as day, the day of the try out's, how he reacted to her danger. Of course, that would make any woman impress. A man to jump at the danger of the Princess has deserved some credit.
"Damn it, Bubbles loves me," Boomer thought quiet and shocked.
Boomer stayed quiet and looked towards the thousands of stars. Suddenly he heard quiet sobbing of tears from somebody. He noticed Butch was instantly awake and walked away. Boomer turned to Brick who was sitting on a fallen over tree stomp, poking bored in the flames.
"Hey Brick, stay here and guard the tent's, I have to go for little men," Boomer said and walked away.
Brick didn't raise his head, instead, he still glared madly at the fire, "sure, have fun."
Boomer just shook his head, Brick was in a very bad mood because he was worried that the king could blame them for the failing of having the Princesses married the chosen Prince.
Boomer followed Butch and saw he was by the river where they decided to set their camp up. He was there with Bruiser and holding him in his arms. Boomer remembered that Bruiser is always on an emotional roller-coaster, but why was he now sad? Also that Butch was the closest companion Bruiser could ever find in the Rowdy Ruff brotherhood. Brick was too much evolved with planning to notice his young siblings trouble, Boomer himself never knew what to say when somebody needed a comforting shoulder and he was more known to ruin things rather than help the person in pain.
But there was something about Butch that drew Bruiser to him. Butch always held a steady head, he knew always what to do, say and act upon the tortured soul. Maybe also because he was the one who felt guilty about the accident with their father, he was the closest to the baseball and couldn't catch it whiles Boomer and Brick were winning that small game of baseball.
Boomer decided to try and re-connect himself to Butch and Bruiser. He sat opposite of the hugging duo and looked at them with an interested eye. Butch noticed Boomer first and gave him a small glare and a sneer to follow.
"What is it, Boomer? Are you ok?" Butch asked him.
"I am ok guys and you two? Especially you, Bruiser, you have been on an emotional roller coaster ever since we left the Kingdom of Great Britain a few months ago," Boomer pointed out.
"So," Bruiser snapped back at him, "What I go through is none of your concern Boomer."
Boomer bent his head down and looked sad towards the floor before replying, "It is Bruiser you are my older brother, I just want to help you just as good as Butch can, please brother, let me try and help you. Why are you so sad?"
"I have a lot of reasons to be sad Boomer," Bruiser said as he tried and failed to hold his tears back.
Boomer looked at Bruiser's heartbroken, then he begged, "Please Bruiser, I beg you as your brother, tell me why you are so sad."
To add to the drama, Boomer handed Bruiser his evening meal out of bread and meat, then he bowed his head low as if Bruiser was a King or something. Bruiser's face burned with worry and anger. Boomer truly cared about him, but he just couldn't reconnect with his sibling. Or maybe he could. Before he replied he handed Boomer his meal back as a sign that he was full from his own meal.
"Ok Boomer... ok brother, I will tell you..." Bruiser said and opened his arms to his other brother.
Butch nodded and walked away to the other end of the camp and watch the forest around them. Boomer hugged Bruiser tight and cried into his chest. Bruiser patted his slightly older brother on the back and cried himself out. After they cried together for about 3 minutes Bruiser let Boomer go and the blond looked at the brunet excited for him to tell him why he is so sad.
"Boomer... do you remember the time before I was named?" Bruiser asked his sibling.
"Yes," Boomer said nodding his head. "It was the time we played together baseball, you got into trouble with our father."
"Correct, that is the reason I have been on this emotional roller coaster, I just want to succeed in this knight job and not become a meaningless farmer with our father and mother again," Bruiser explained.
"Talking about a farmer," Boomer pointed out as he looked around, "This forest reminds me constantly of something, but I can't put my finger on it. Does this forest remind you of something?"
Bruiser looked at Boomer confused, how should the forest remind him of something? Butch and Brick sat now next to each other and looked at both of their other siblings as well.
"Y... yes we used to play cowboy's and Indians in this forest," Brick said as he recognised the trees.
"Indeed, look the river we filled the water supplies again... is the same one we build that dam in, remember? We got into a bit of trouble with our father for changing the entire flow of the river during our youthhood years," Butch pointed out.
Bruiser nodded his head, a lot of trees around them the boy's remembered as well for playing hundreds of games. A few miles down the river they even found a very old tree house they build together as they were 5 years old.
"We could walk back down the path to our parent's house, maybe we could introduce the Princesses to our parents," Boomer suggested.
Brick nodded in agreement, "Good idea, but we will wait for tomorrow men, we don't want to wake the Princesses up or our parents."
All 4 knights nodded their heads, they walked back to the campsite and then they tucked themselves back to bed. Dreaming together of their past lives.
The next morning after the campsite was packed up again and the 8 had a very small meal because none of the men nor the princesses were in the mood to go hunting that morning, the Rowdyruff boy's looked over to the Princesses. The boy's nodded and they pushed Brick forward to ask the Princesses.
"Um, your highnesses, me and the men have come up with an idea we have had yesterday evening," Brick began.
Princess Blossom looked at Brick surprised, "Oh what for an idea?"
"Well, we 4 were raised in these forests, and not too far from here is our family farm where we grew up on," Boomer explained, then he asked, "would you 4 like to meet our parent's?"
"Oh, that would be a delight, yes please, ok everybody?" Princess Bubbles squealed.
The Princesses were impressed and nodded their heads. The knights nodded to as they continued through the forest to their home. It took them the rest of the day, as the sun was about to set they found the farm the Rowdyruff boys were talking about.
It was a very impressive farm, they had at least 3 stables, one for cattle, one for horses, and the last one was for the chickens which as well worked for the storage of massive amounts of hay. They had as well a butchers house, a smoking house to smoke bacon and not too far from them was the family home.
Next, the Rowdyruffboy's showed the Princesses the river flowing past their home, a massive green field with nothing but grass on. An apple tree sanctuary was there as well. And last close to the red farm home was a field filled with vegetables.
In that field right now Blossom spotted a woman, about 60 years old, she had blond long hair tied back in a ponytail, her skin was very tanned and full of dirt and freckles. She was wearing a ragged brown dress, she has on a pair of brown wooden shoes and was just picking the vegetables.
"That is our mother," Boomer said happily.
"MOTHER," The Rowdyruff boy's called together and ran towards the old lady.
The woman looked up and her eyes widened. She dropped the freshly picked vegetables and ran from the field towards the Rowdyruff boys as fast as she could squealing with delight. They hugged and she cheered happily.
"Oh my holy god, Brick, Boomer, Butch and Bruiser, is it really you 4?" The woman asked as she hugged her 4 sons.
Bruiser beamed across his face before replying, "Yes mother, we were just in the neighbourhood and decided to visit you and dad."
"What are you doing here anyway? The knighthood training camp is at least 3 hours horse ride away from here," The woman asked.
"Well, we want you to meet somebody," Boomer explained and then waved to the Princesses, " mother these are the Princesses of Great Britain, we have gotten the contract to protect them."
The woman looked around and spotted Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup and Bunny. Her eyes widened as she recognised them from countless portraits in the gallery and the newspapers. She quickly cleaned her dirty skirt, then she bowed down to them and smiled at the Princesses widely.
"It is a great honour to meet you in the flesh your highnesses, my name is Maria Jojo, I am the mother of the Rowdyruffs," The woman introduced herself.
Princess Blossom smiled warmly at the woman as well, "It is an honour to meet you as well, my name is Blossom Utonium."
"My name is Bubbles Utonium," Bubbles introduced herself as well.
"Buttercup Utonium," Buttercup just simply said.
"And my name is Bunny Utonium," Bunny introduced herself.
Maria smiled and nodded her head, "The pleasure is truly on my side, but come inside guy's you must be starving from your long travel from Japan."
"Mother, where is our father? Is he in the house?" Boomer asked.
"No he is in the forest chopping some wood for the fireplace," Maria explained.
After hearing it Bubbles looked at the RRB's mother confused, "Hu how? We never met up with anybody else."
"That's because you came from the western side of the forest," Maria explained, "your father is working in the eastern part of the forest."
"Oh, can we go inside? we have had a long travel," Blossom asked.
Maria nodded her head and led the Princesses and her sons inside. The inside of the farmhouse was very impressive for a middle classed family. There was a very comfortable kitchen with a fire stove in the centre. On the far end of the room was a corner bench carved out of an oak tree that could seat 8 people, then there were 2 chairs carved out of a conker tree around a dark brown table out of a fern tree.
On the table were a few old flowers, 2 old bowls with a bit of porridge and 2 cups with milk inside them as well.
"Sorry that I haven't tidied up from breakfast guy's," Maria said ashamed of the mess.
"It's ok, wow did you make all of the furniture yourselves?" Bubbles asked impressed.
Maria nodded her head, "Yes everything, upstairs are the boy's bedroom's and the master bedroom of me and my husband, you may look around the house if you wish, the bathroom is at the back of the house."
"Can we see your bedroom boy's?" Bubbles asked and looked towards the Rowdyruff boys.
"Sure, come this way," Bruiser said as he leads the way.
The 8 walked one by one upstairs, the entire second floor was out of oak as well. There were 2 doors, one was the master bedroom, dough it was the smaller room of the 2, on the door was the names of the Rowdyrufboy's parents. The Rowdyruff boys walked to the second door where their names were hung up on the door, it was made out of conker which was Brick's name, the oak door tag was Boomer's, the fern name tag has Butch written on and the bamboo door tag has Bruiser written on.
Brick opened the door and the 8 entered the bedroom. There were 4 different beds on the opposite ends of each other. The room itself was rectangular and very big, but the beds mostly took up most of the room.
The first bed had shelves above the head with countless books stacked over him. As well as a plan of the kingdom. Also, a small desk was placed on the side of the bed. It was clear that it was Bricks side.
The second bed had fossils and a stuffed frog on the bed. Boomer blushed as he saw his snuffle blanket poking out from his pillow. As well he had water and nature photographs all over his walls. On the bedside table was a camera. So Boomer's corner.
The third bed there was almost plainly black, it had green bed sheets on and a lot of small fist gloves made out of pure led from their ox. A small sand sack hung next to the bed. Around the bed were as well handles made out of silver and bronze to build up the muscles. So Butch's side.
The last bed had normal purple bed sheets, no toy's, just an old baseball with a bit of blood on it and a glove next to it. A baseball bat was sitting next to the bed as well as a cricket bat. To add to it there were baseball posters all over the bedside. The girls worked it out that it could be Bruisers side of the bed.
"Your bed boy's?" Princess Buttercup asked.
"Yes, each designed after our own personalities," Boomer said.
Bubbles beamed with happiness, "Wow, they are beautiful."
"You are interested in baseball Bruiser?" Bunny asked as she stroked the baseball bat.
Bruiser blushed a bit before replying upset, "Well... yes, but also it is my most hated sport."
"Bruiser we are NOT going back that direction," Butch warned him.
Brick glared at him as well, "If you do we 3 will beat the sadness out of you, or until you can't move anymore to think about it."
Bruiser just gave them a death glare and walked back outside. He ran back into the forest and remained gone for the rest of the day. Bunny looked at the 3 other brothers mad and upset.
"Why are you 3 so against your brother? What has he ever done to you 3 to deserve this torture?" Bunny asked the 3 other brothers.
"The problem with Bruiser is that he can't let go of the past so easy as we can," Brick explained, he then continued, "An accident has happened, there is nothing we can do to change it, but Bruiser is always so bitten on that day that it drives us 3 up the wall. His guilt on that day feeds off on all of us."
"I'd better check on him, make sure my 'knight' doesn't try and commit suicide," Bunny said worried and left the house after Bruiser.
The other Princesses shrugged their shoulders and walked back downstairs to the knight's mother Maria.
Downstairs the Princesses found the farmer's wife brought out some flour, butter, 5 eggs, milk from the cows and a big bowl as well as a baking tray out. As she noticed the Princesses looking at her, she waved towards the 3 girls.
"Hello girls, I am just baking for my sons and you 4 a cake, would you like to help me?" Maria asked the Princesses.
"May we? We have never baked anything in our lives before," Bubbles said excitedly.
Maria looked at them surprised, "Really? Well, every woman I know within this Kingdom knows how to bake a magnificent cake for their husbands. Here in the land is the law, the man protects the family and earns the money, whiles the woman extends the family tree, takes care of the children and babies as well as takes care of the household and cooks to keep the family fed. Come I'll show you how to bake."
She placed the big bowl on the table, then got 2 brown bags filled with flour, 6 eggs, 2 pounds of self-produced butter, and a big metal canister of fresh cows milk. She handed the Princesses very old ragged dresses and aprons to put on, the Princesses left back into the Rowdy ruff boy's bedrooms and changed into the dresses, they were a little bit too big. Their original Princess dresses the girls packed back up into their suitcases.
As they came back down the women gave them some maids cornett hats to keep their hairs from falling into the meals, as well each Princess got a white apron on their bodies. The Princesses put them on without complaining. After all, they wanted to know what a middle-class woman would have to wear during her working day's. And seeing as how the Rowdy ruff boy's parents were giving them free shelter, giving them a bit of housework back was the best that they could offer.
"So girls, we start with sieving 2 jugs full of flour. Here is the sieve and the cake bowl, we first pour in the flour on the top, then lift with both hands the sieve and move it back and forth, that way all the fat pieces of the flour is being shrunk down to the bits for the cake," Maria explained.
Blossom offered her the help, "Ok, I'll do the sieving."
Blossom picked the sieve up, Maria poured in the flour and it fell on top of each other, Blossom moved the sieve so fast that flour almost shot back out of the bowl, Maria quickly calmed Blossom back down, after sieving for 5 minutes all the flour was lying now in the bowl as fine as ever.
"Perfect Blossom, now after the flour is inside the bowl, Buttercup you see the scales in that shelf, take them down and weigh for me as much butter as 2 silver blocks weigh, they are just next to the scales," Maria explained.
Buttercup nodded, "Will do."
The scales were made out of bronze and balanced correctly, Buttercup placed 2 blocks of silver into one side and it tipped to the left, then Buttercup cut a piece of butter and placed it in the right-hand half of the scales. They tipped a bit towards the butter, but the weights still kept them on one side, Buttercup gave another 3 chunks of butter into the other half and then they were balanced exactly the same.
"Exactly like that, good job," Maria said happily.
Buttercup picked the plate with the butter up and chucked it into the bowl as well. The cake was coming along perfectly.
Then Maria continued with Bubbles, "Bubble's your job is to take 3 eggs, crack them first carefully on the side of the glass to make sure no eggshells will land inside the cake, then tip it to the other ingredients."
Bubbles nodded her head, the first egg cracked and almost the entire egg fell into the gunk, Bubbles fished it out with a fork and then threw them in the kitchen rubbish, the next 2 worked a lot better, as only the oak and egg white were left inside the glass Bubbles tipped it to the cake flour.
"Perfect, next Bunny will do the milk in the jug, you have to take the ladle, it can hold exactly 25 ml of liquid. You then have to add 3 spoons full into the cake," Maria continued to explain.
Bunny picked the ladle up and it started to shake in her hand, she set it back down and rubbed her hands against each other to calm herself down, after Bunny was calm she picked the ladle up again and dipped it into a bucket that held the cows' milk. She lifted it out and tipped the milk back into the cake mixture, once she has done it 3 times she nodded her head.
"Excellent girls, now you guy's can relax and I'll finish the last piece of the cake off, which is mix all the ingredients under each other up until a cake batter is created," Maria said.
The Princesses sat back down around the table and watched Maria finish the cake, she picked a big wooden spoon up and stirred all the ingredients underneath each other as well as mixing it to the exact cake's contents, the father came back inside and gave her some chunks of wood.
"The oven has to heat itself up to 150 degrees centigrade with the wood. That is the correct temperature the cake has to bake, then it has to stay in the flames for about 20 minutes before it is finished," Maria explained.
Buttercup placed in the woods and the oven reached the wanted temperatures, as it grew hot enough Maria tipped the entire cake contents into a metal form and then shoved it onto a hot stone plate within the oven. Buttercup quickly closed the oven and the cake began to bake in the oven.
Maria smiled over at the Princesses who looked at her a little uneasy. Did they do everything correctly? Well, they would have to wait for 20 minutes before they were allowed to know.
"Where are Brick, Boomer, Butch and Bruiser actually now?" Bubbles asked.
"They are just fixing a fence on our field, one of our cattle has hurt itself in the night as it tried to escape. So that is being fixed now," Andrew explained.
"Ok, can we go outside and watch?" Buttercup asked.
Maria nodded her head, "Of course, I'll keep my eye on the cake."
The 4 Princesses walked outside and headed to the huge open field, they counted the field threw and at least 20 cattle's were all over the field eating grass, herbs and weeds peacefully, they as well spotted their knights now in brown peasant bag type of clothes and covered in paint as well as bruises. Boomer has just lifted up a plank and was holding it in place, Butch pulled with his hands a metal thorn wire around the posts and fixed the howl that way. As it looked correct threw Brick's position he heaved a huge hammer above his head whiles Bruiser held a plank of wood on top of the mast. Brick hammered it a few times into place and then the fence was fixed. A few more wires around the fence and the hole was fixed shut.
The Princesses were impressed with the working power that drove the Rowdyruff boy's. All the boys noticed the Princesses and waved over at them. All except for Bruiser who looked towards the forest half on the other side of the fence.
"Father, get your gun please," Bruiser called worried.
Boomer wondered what was wrong and looked towards the forest as well, "What is it?... Oh crap."
Andrew ran back with 3 guns, handed Butch and Bruiser the guns and then pointed back to the farmhouse.
"Brick, Boomer take the Princesses straight back to the house, stay with mother inside of the house and wait for our return, don't come out again," Andrew instructed.
The boys nodded and lead the Princesses back, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup looked at them confused, what happened? Bunny disappeared to the back because she needed the toilet.
Inside the house Brick explained to his mother where their father ran off to. She looked shocked at her son and very worried.
"The pack of wolves have returned? We haven't had their trouble around here for a few years, I hope Andrew and the other 2 will be ok," Marie said shocked.
Lucky the cake was fished before the disaster happened and the mother took the hot cake out of the oven and headed for the cellar.
The Princesses, the 2 other knights and Marie stayed in the cellar of the house, quickly covering their ears as they heard very loud gunshots ringing outside. Screams, as well as a few long howls, were heard as well. They waited over 2 hours until it was silence and the door was opened again. Butch, Bruiser and Andrew returned opening the cellar door to the others.
"Are you guy's ok?" Bubbles asked the other knights worried.
"Yeah, we are fine, it was the eastern wolves pack mother, they tried to get the cattle again, but we held them off," Bruiser explained.
Butch continued with the wolfs tale, "3 wolves we managed to kill and 6 escaped, 2 of the escaped wolves we injured so badly their bodies that we are sure the alpha... if it isn't amongst the murdered wolves, will have it killed."
"What? You killed wolves?" Bubbles said shocked.
Andrew glared at the Princesses, it was easy they didn't know about the life on the land, "Hey your highness, here on the land there is the law 'the weak are driven away by the mighty' and we are the stronger halves, if we give in to those wolves then we might as well cover ourselves with BBQ sauce and lay naked in the fields for the wolves to feast upon us."
"Sorry, this is just so new to all of us," Blossom apologised and nodded.
"Well one small happy thing is out of this, the cake is finished," Maria said.
She walked back to the kitchen with the others, opened the over and then placed the delicious cake on the surface to cool off.
"Whiles the cake is cooling you guys have enough time to get washed and lay the table," Maria instructed.
The Princesses and the men nodded their heads. They all had a good wash and all the dirt and co was washed off successfully. The soap which they used was also household made. The Princesses are really surprised as to how little the Rowdyruffboy's parents had and yet was never-ending happy with their relationship.
After they were washed and laid the table the 10 people sat around the table. Andrew and Maria sat next to each other as the heads of the table, on their left came Buttercup and Butch, then next to them came to Bunny and Bruiser, then Bubbles and Boomer and last was Blossom with Brick sitting next to her and his father.
Maria cut the cake and served everybody a slice of it. Then they ate quietly and had a drink of their fresh cold cows' milk. The Princesses are very impressed as to how well they made the cake. It was delicious. As they were feasting together a knock was suddenly heard at the door of the house.
"Who could that be? We don't expect any visitors today," Andrew said confused as he left for the door.
The others stayed at the table and watched the father walk to the door. He opened it and a man in a blue uniform with an envelope stood there.
The knights recognised him as Philip, one of the knights who failed the challenge. Most of the failed knights were continuing to work towards another knighthood somewhere else, he got his a few months back and was now the royal post deliverer of Great Britain. Philip took out a long paper scroll out and began to read from it to the family.
"Dear family of the Rowdyruff, the royal premier minister has decided, that if the Princesses, Princess Blossom, Princess Bubbles, Princess Buttercup and Princess Bunny are not married by their 21st birthday which is in 3 day's time his son Jacopo Aperture will take the throne of Great Britain and rule, however if they are married the Princesses have to come to the castle with their husbands and declare the rights to the English throne," Philip read out.
Andrew handed Philip 2 gold crowns and tipped his hat to him, "Thank you for telling us."
Philip nodded and left the home. The Princesses of Great Britain sat gobsmacked in their chairs. Do they have to be married? Seeing as they broke it off with the Princes of Japan they were going to be doomed and their father will be so heartbroken.
The knights themselves each felt their necks being stretched or chopped by the king. But suddenly Andrew and Maria chuckled and laugh at the statement. Blossom looked at the two farmers confused, what was so funny? Andrew shook his head as all the Princesses and the knights looked at him confused, did he have an idea?
"Well, I have an idea for your Highnesses, if you have to be married to a husband within a few days... then, hi, hi, hi, why don't you marry our son's?" Andrew explained chuckling.
"DAD!" All 4 knight shrieked shocked and blushed madly.
Maria pipped up and clapped her hands excited together, "Oh what for a perfect idea my darling. A royal wedding in our town square, what do you guy says to that? You each have both of our blessings to be married."
"No-", Brick began.
"-way,-" Boomer continued.
"-in-," Butch said.
"-hell," Bruiser finished it off.
This time Andrew and Maria glared at their sons, here they were giving the Princesses an answer to a problem and they were acting like chickens over the idea. The Princesses each were a bit confused, they each looked at their knights who's faces were all so red they matched the red hair on Brick's head.
Their mother shook her head and their father glared at the boy's, but suddenly Maria looked at Andrew worried, she has to say something important.
"Dear, may I talk with the Princesses alone in our room, I have to explain some things," Maria asked her husband.
Andrew nodded his head, "I will explain it to the boy's down here, they should have known about it a long time ago."
"Explain what?" Bubbles asked.
But Maria just walked past the girls and entered with them the master bedroom. The Princesses looked at each other confused before following after the woman.
With the knights
Brick, Boomer, Butch and Bruiser sat at the table and glared at their father. He looked back at them with a neutral expression. Before continuing as to what he means.
"Boy's... well, there is something that you don't know about me and your mother," Andrew began.
"We know that you both are farmers, very proud of it, are successful and met up on a farm ball," Brick said.
Andrew nodded his head before scratching it and looked back over to the men, "Well, yes... but each of you has a little bit of noble blood running through your vanes yourselves."
"WHAT!" All the knights shrieked shocked at the same time.
"Your mother is actually a run-away Duchess, her real name is Duchess Maria Alpinist before I married her, then she changed her name to Marie Rowdyruff, our last names," Andrew explained.
It was dead silence for a while, the boys saw the Princesses return downstairs to them a bit shocked and confused over the howl affair.
Inside the bedroom, Maria was rummaging through an old trunk under the bed. As she found a small very old black box she pulled it out and sat with the Princesses around herself. She smiled at all the Princesses beauty before Buttercup spoke up.
"What did you mean you know how to sort this marriage thing out?" Buttercup asked her confused.
"Well Princesses, this is something my sons are being told now by my husband downstairs, I am actually a Duchess, my real name is actually Duchess Maria Alpinist, I ran away from my Nobel home because I was just too lonely there, my parents to this day don't know where I am, that I live or that they are even grandparents to 4 very beautiful boys. Bruiser and Butch actually look very much like my own father and mother. That is the secret to the boy's real past family life," Maria explained.
"Wow, it is an honour to know you, Duchess Maria," Bubbles squealed.
Maria smiled at the Princesses and nodded her head, "So on our side, we are ok if you want to be the wives of my sons, if not then we will see."
The Princesses looked to Blossom for an answer, should they accept the woman's proposal and become the wives of the knights, the men they each have grown to love, adore and admirer?
Blossom must admit she has grown to love Brick, he was very strict, he knew how to get out of sticky situations when nobody could say anything he would come up with a perfect plan. He was also good-looking, so for Blossom Brick was so far a perfect choice for a husband.
Bubbles herself has already fallen for Boomer hard, he is so handsome, strong, his perfect blond hair that could match better than any Prince she has known, his hypnotising deep blue eyes were just perfect. And his lips, if Bubbles would have it her way she would kiss him all day and night. His kind natural way has Bubbles weak in the knees, she would accept Boomer to be her only husband for her.
Buttercup gave it some deep thought, Butch was very handsome as well, very muscular, not brag about anything, he was sharp as an arrow and strong too. He knows how to fight, fence, joust and knows as many battles move as you would need to survive. He also knows how to comfort somebody when they were down, she has seen his deep love for his younger brother Bruiser and thought she could grow to love Butch just as much as his family.
Bunny really started to turn her wheels in her heads. Did she love Bruiser? He was handsome as well, quite strong, also she saw a few days ago he was as clever as hell. Knowing how to strike, and when it was wiser to talk or to fighting when needed to sort a conflict out. Dough he was also a bit rude for growling at her as they meet a few days after 'choosing of the knight ball' was over. But he was also a big softy and can cry if he was sad. So yes... he was the right guy for her. She grew to love him as well. A true beautiful diamond in the rough.
As they all returned to the kitchen the knights and the Princesses faces were a perfect shade of pink. Maria hugged her husband Andrew happy that he told the boy's the truth of their rots and that they were thinking about it.
Maria disappeared back into her bedroom and brought out 5 golden necklaces, each pitched with white diamonds around them. That was enough proof for the Princesses that this woman was indeed once a Duchess.
The Rowdyruff boys were quite surprised that their own mother used to be so high but decided to follow her own heart to be a farmers wife. After all their mother is a true natural beauty and probably in her youth hood had hundreds of other men more suited, noble and rich for her to chose, and yet she still chose the Rowdyruff boy's father Andrew who was born a farmer and works hard as a farmer.
"So guy's, do you want to become the husbands/wives of each other?" Andrew asked the 4.
The Princesses looked deep into the Rowdyruffboy's eyes and nodded, "We are ok with it, and you men?"
"Ok... we accept," The Rowdyruffs said blushing madly across each of their 4 faces.
Andrew took Blossom and Bricks hands and made them hold each other. Blossom and Brick both blushed madly but still didn't refuse the connection they felt between each other. Brick was ok to have Blossom as his wife, she is really smart, she knows how to talk her way out of trouble and honoured those above and below her. Blossom smiled at Brick as well. He is really handsome, very clever and knows how to hold a good discussion, respects everyone around him and is just so handsome.
Maria took Boomer and Bubbles hands and combined them both as well. Instantly as if they both knew it from the beginning that they would end up together. They held each other's hands as tight as they could without breaking the other person the hand. They beamed at each other faces out of pure happiness. Bubbles just knew from the first day that she meet Boomer that he would become her husband, he is so handsome with his blond hair and dark blue eyes. Boomer was still a little speechless that he was marrying now the love of his live, Bubbles.
Then Andrew took Buttercup and Butch's hands and made them hold each other as well. Buttercup and Butch were a bit hesitant, but after a while, they held one another as if they would never want to depart from each other again. Both smiled at one another happy. Buttercup was sure Butch will treat her well and protect her from any maniac to come her way, also she knew Butch loves her with all his heart, he is really good looking and could make any women or in this case Princess heat melt into her shoes with pure love. Butch was happy as well, Buttercup has challenged him every way she could, they helped each other through this adventure and were sure to continue to love each other as long as they should live.
Last Maria looked at Bunny and Bruiser, she took very carefully their hands and offered each and to the other. Bunny was at first a bit scared to hold Bruiser, but as she looked into his deep purple eyes she nodded and held his hand properly. Bruiser himself was very hesitant to actually hold Bunny but did it anyway. To both brunets surprise as they held each other hands it felt like... as if a missing piece of each of their hearts has found one another and just Anker itself into the gaping hole of the heart. Bunny felt something she hasn't felt since the death of her beloved mother... she felt pure golden love shoot through her body, Bruiser was the man giving her that huge amount of love as possible. Bruiser himself felt his broken family heart cure, his father forgave him for the baseball incident, he was here with the woman he loved with all his heart and wouldn't let Bunny down at all. Everything seemed to be perfect. Both hearts finally beat as one.
Both parents beamed happily watching the 4 couples. That their 4 sons would marry a Princess of Great Britain was something Andrew and Marie never expected ever to happen. At least all 4 of them are truly in love with each other. And in a few minutes, they would be husband and wife of each other.
After everybody came back from their little fantasy trip with each other all 4 couples looked at Andrew. He nodded and opened up the Priest book. To unite his beloved sons with the love of their lives, the greatest Princesses of Great Britain.
Andrew then began, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to unite these 4 lovely couples under the sun of God himself. They worked hard every day and night to prove to themselves that they love each other as much as they love their own family. Now I have to ask this, is there somebody out there that can come up with a reason as to why not the couples may be united, they may speak now or forever hold their peace."
As it was silence he nodded, then Andrew began with Blossom and Brick.
"Princess Blossom Utonium, do you take Sir Brick Rowdyruff to be your beloved husband, to have and to hold him, in sickness and in health, till death does you both part, then answer with I do," Andrew said and looked at Blossom.
Blossom blushed a bit, she looked deep into Brick's red eyes, before replying with: "I do."
"Sir Brick Rowdyruff, do you take Princess Blossom Utonium to be your beloved wife, to have and to hold her, in sickness and in health, till death does you both part, then answer with I do." Andrew continued and looked at his son Brick.
Brick beamed across his face before nodding and then he said, "I do."
Andrew nodded and then turned to Bubbles and Boomer.
"Princess Bubbles Utonium, do you take Sir Boomer Rowdyruff to be your beloved husband, to have and to hold him, in sickness and in health, till death does you both part, then answer with I do," Andrew said and looked at Bubbles.
Bubbles blushed a bit, she looked deep into Boomer's dark blue eyes, before replying with: "I do."
"Sir Boomer Rowdyruff, do you take Princess Bubbles Utonium to be your beloved wife, to have and to hold her, in sickness and in health, till death does you both part, then answer with I do," Andrew continued and looked at his son Boomer.
Boomer beamed as well happy as ever, "I do dad."
Andrew smiled, everything was working as planned, then it was Buttercup and Butch's turn.
"Princess Buttercup Utonium, do you take Sir Butch Rowdyruff to be your beloved husband, to have and to hold him, in sickness and in health, till death does you both part, then answer with I do," Andrew said and looked at Buttercup.
Buttercup didn't blush once, but she still looked deep into Butch's dark green eyes, before replying with: "I do."
"Sir Butch Rowdyruff, do you take Princess Buttercup Utonium to be your beloved wife, to have and to hold her, in sickness and in health, till death does you both part, then answer with I do," Andrew continued and looked at his son Butch next.
Butch smiled at Buttercup happy, before replying, "I do."
Everything was going perfectly according to plan, just the last couple and they all would be husbands and wives of the love's of each of their lives as well.
"Princess Bunny Utonium, do you take Sir Bruiser Rowdyruff to be your beloved husband, to have and to hold him, in sickness and in health, till death does you both part, then answer with I do," Andrew said and looked at Bunny last.
Bunny finally took her cold mask off, her violet eyes beamed with sparkles as she said happily, "I do."
"Sir Bruiser Rowdyruff, do you take Princess Bunny Utonium to be your beloved wife, to have and to hold her, in sickness and in health, till death does you both part, then answer with I do," Andrew continued and looked at his son Bruiser.
Bruiser's violet eyes showed as many emotions of love as he possibly could, he was the last one to tie the knot, to a Princess he loves now with every fibre of his body, he looked happy at his father before saying, "I do."
Andrew beamed happily as well, but there was one last piece to finish this completely, "Ok, you 8 have agreed to the contract of marriage, but I have to ask this question, is somebody here who can give a darn good explanation as to why you 8 shall not be joined today in holy matrimony, they may speak now or forever hold their peace."
They waited for 3 minutes before Andrew nodded his head and continued.
"Ok, then by the power invested in me, I pronounce you 8 now as, husband and wives of each other, the grooms may kiss the brides," Andrew said beaming across his old face.
The Rowdyruff boys beamed happily. Bubbles almost jumped onto Boomer to tackle him down with a kiss, Blossom and Brick kissed each other passionately as well and happy, Buttercup and Butch had a perfect tong wrestling with each other, and Bunny and Bruiser kiss each other at first a bit scared, but then the two deepened the kiss and beamed happily. Both of their hearts beating as fast as ever.
All 8 has found the love of their lives. And married the man/women that they loved with all of their hearts. After they had a perfect kiss Andrew and Maria smiled happily as well. Now all that was to do is go back to the Palast and tell King John Utonium that his beloved Princesses had a husband now and can accept the throne of Great Britain.
