Bubbles' POV
Duchess just ripped the sash clear off of the dress, it happened so fast...fabric torn in a hurricane and Buttercup just couldn't keep them away. It was a miracle...a miracle...hours of staying up late and waking up early to finish that dress, me and Buttercup, sewing that dress, I did most by hand because ball gowns were hard.
"I BET THIS FABRIC WAS MADE FROM OUR DRESSES WE GAVE TO BUBBLES!"
That was the excuse they used as they rip the dress apart, until Buttercup was in rags. Brianna was boiling over with angry. That was a lie, I used my own fabric, for that dress...If they're talking about those dresses that Brianna threw in the fireplace earlier today...
Buttercup was just as mad and Bubbles was just shocked.
"Oh look, the carriage, Come along, Girls." Mother just said, Brianna was about to summon her wand and just break their necks, but I stopped her...nothing was worth being beheaded for. Mother looked at me, waiting, "Countess and Brianna come along."
"I'm staying here, Mother, "I said, I never had been so disgusted with my family.
"Don't be silly girl-"
"Why?" Buttercup was looking down, she stood up, she looked ready to cry but not from sadness, it was that kind of look that show Buttercup that she was of noble birth, her head held high, her face demanded attention and her eyes though watered by tears, flashed with authority. My mother couldn't look away, even though my sisters were trying to pull her away, Buttercup looked just like Auntie Rose Lily.
"Why what?" My mother turned to match gazes with hers but it was no use.
"If you didn't want me to go then you should have said so! I worked my ass off, Countess paid for that fabric and we worked our asses off..."
"Please, you're...you're a peasant...commoner."
Buttercup was in my mother's face, tightening up her fist, Buttercup was going to punch her, "That doesn't matter, a noble should keep their word...I knew you would try something but for a second there...I didn't think you could sink any lower...you may be rich but you don't have the respect and trust of your tenants...and you think you could just go to the Castle and become royalty. Never.." Buttercup punched the wall, I was only shock she didn't put a hole in it. I bet she was holding back, she had to punch something I bet...no I know.
My mother was breathless but she just lifted her head, "Stay here and watch the place. Brianna...Countess...Come."
"I'm not going Mother." I just said, I couldn't even see Buttercup's eyes as she just ran out. I bet it took a lot of control not to punch my mother and sisters out.
Brianna looked ready to rip off their heads, as they walked to the carriage.
"Fine be that way, I'll just tell your betroth that you wasn't feeling too well," Mother sounded so strange...breathless almost...I hope Buttercup shook her up.
"Why You!" Brianna was ready but I helf her back and just smiled.
"Go to The Ball, I believe someone is waiting for you." I hinted and she rolled her eyes.
"Fine, but only for you. But if your sisters get one my nerves just once, I'll shrink their head." Brianna was hesitant to go but with a little push she was off.
I lifted my dress and walked to the back of the house. There was Buttercup, sitting on a stone bench, she looked mad but also upset. She wpied something away before I could stand beside her. The flowers were growing wilder and weeds were coming up everywhere.
I sat beside her, "Buttercup."
"Just leave me alone."
"Buttercup, please. Don't cry." I said.
"Im not crying...I'm actually happy...I didn't want to go anyways. Why would I want to go to a Ball?"
"Buttercup, its ok, to be upset...I mean the Ball-"
"I'm not upset over a stupid Ball, it's gonna be dumb, boring and all those snob bitches and stupid men wearing damn tights. All I hear about is the damn Ball anyways, can't wait until it's over. And Damn, I was such a Fool...dumb ass, idiot, I shoukd have known that Morbucks would do something...Those...I wanted to beat them...I just wanted to punch something and I just end up punching the wall...because if I punched her, it would have been worse..."
"I was so shocked about how much self control you had."
" It's better this way, anyways. I don't need to see that perverted bastard, Butch." The way she said his name, that faraway glance and her face turning into that peachy glow...My eyes widened...
I just gasped, "Buttercup...You love him."
She had the cutest shock/Blush on her face, "NO I DON'T!"
"Oh my goodness, you love him that badly. I had no idea you fell so hard." I giggled and Buttercup's adorable peach blush turned brighter.
"No I'm NOT! I could care less about that bastard, grabbing my butt and making me obey him just 'cause he's a damn Prince. Always running after me, not leaving me alone, trying to always kiss-"
"You kissed me?!" I didn't have to ask, her face said it all, looking all embarrassed and no eye contact, "That does it, we have to get you to that Ball! It's fate I tell ya-"
"What?"
Belle and Blossom suddenly called our names, we both turned around, and I gasped...and stood up... Blossom looked so elegant (For Visual, It's called the Dark Red Countessa Dress. The outer dress is dark rosy pink and the white good like thread) Blossom was wearing an shiny bow in her hair). Belle was wearing something simple but elegant, (its called the Elegant hooded Medievel dress, the dress was a shiny, silky dark purple, with black bands wrapped around her arms to make the sleeves wider on the ends. Those same black bands were also decorated on the edges with gold mixed in.)
"Oh Cupie, I love your dress, it's said Savage." Belle giggled, but she stopped and gave this look like...," Hey...why are you two here? Shouldn't you be at the Ball, I mean...we're here because I left something- Cupie?"
Buttercup suddenly look down.
"Wait a minute...Buttercup..." Blossom looked real concerned. So I told them what happened. Blossom looked just as mad as Brianna had looked. It was a good thing Healing Maidens couldn't curse or hex because nothing would hold Blossom back. Belle just smiled, "Are you shittin me?"
"Blossom, please?"
"No, it's one thing to force you to marry but this...THEY WENT TOO FAR! BUTTERCUP WORKS HER ASS OFF AND THEN...BUTTERCUP I'M SURPRISE YOU DIDN'T BREAK HER NOSE!" Blossom stomps.
"I was fighting the urge...but it doesn't matter now."
"The best way to get back at them, is to Party Hardy at the Bally!" Belle cheered, "We could make you a new dress."
"Guys...it took a week to make this dress-"
My mind was racing, I was actually trying to think, Buttercup had to go to the Ball, she has to be with the Prince, her future depended on it. There is one thing I could try...
"Well...there might be a way." I said, I don't know what they were talking about, I was so deep in thought...but I pulled out my wand, "I can try and make a dress...out of magic...my magic."
Butch's POV
Sophie hasn't left me alone for a second, she was trying so hard to at least get a few dances with me.
"My Sweet Prince, why must you go through with this? I'm worth more in gold than half of those 'ladies' out there. You should stop this foolishness and go back to being my betroth. It is our fate to be together." She leaNed against my shoulder.
"Yeah...I gotta go...over there." I pointed to my room, and closed the door. I was already nervous...I mean...what if she doesn't show? I rather throw away my crown than marry anyone else...especially Sophie. She was beyond a pain...I want someone I can argue and fight with...Damn it. Someone who's not gonna care about her damn hair or money or that shit. It's official...I'm going crazy...
I looked at the portrait, "It's official, you've turned me into a sap. A Jester...and crap...and nothing will make me happier than you being my wife."
I slapped myself on the forhead, "That's bullshit. I'm gonna die."
I heard a knock in the door, "Sophie, this is my room and you can't come in." I yelled as I tried to say something else, "I...I...Lovvv- damn it...I can say it in my head but I can't say it out loud...I want to marry you...because I lllllooooo-"
I heard a chuckle and I turned around ...it was Dad...I instantly stood up, embarrassed.
"I'm sorry son, but I don't think you'll get an answer out of her." For Once he joked, as he walked into the room, "Oh my, is this her?"
I nodded.
"No wonder you're nervous. She's a beauty...a little wild...but good choice. She does have some breeding, that smile...that forhead and those eyes...such eyes but she demands respect and authority. Oh yes."
"You can tell from all that, just from a damn portrait?"
"Oh yes, because she reminds me of your mother." Dad paused, I looked away, "It's the eyes ya know...eyes are windows to the soul after all. It is even believe that you find your match in the eyes. Hah! Your mother was such a elegant, delicate but determined little thing. I spoiled her...you couldn't blame me. There's something about someone who loves you for you...that makes it worthwhile to me them happy."
I didn't say nothing.
"You wanna know why? Because they love you for you? Like your mother slowly did and like Sarah does. But I was lucky with your mother, it was slow...but we begin to love each other. But that's not always the case, take my Brother, Blitz's Father and your Uncle'a example. I want you boys to find love...find someone who loves you for you."
"How did you Propose to Mom?"
"Well, it was an arranged marriage but I still had to propose, and to Sarah was my own free will. But I kept it short, I said how I felt and ask them. Then I threatened that if they said no I would have them locked away...you should have seen your mother's face, she was ready to fight me and Sarah turned pale and I thought she was gonna send a bear after me."
Brianna's POV
I couldn't stand them right now...I hated them so much. It wasn't right...It wasn't right...I was wearing just a plain ball gown of black and white with long sleeves. I refused to even let Princess touch me with those tacky colors of purple and pink...Duchess was just as ugly in her tacky colors. We rode in silence...to the Damn Ball.
Forget what Bubbles said...there's no way in hell, they're getting away with this. No even I could have done that to Buttercup...Its time they learned a lesson they'll never forget. As for you Lady Morbucks, you shall have the pleasure of being embarrassed.
I followed a few inches behind them and looking down like a good servant girl. When I looked up and catch a glimpse of Blitz...standing behind the throne. He hid away behind the curtains...
I stood all the way to the wall, pressing it against my back...I couldn't summon my wand...not like I was gonna weakened my spell on them.
"Oh Morbucks girls, so heartless and cruel, tonight you shall be the jesters...the fools. As these words are spoken, Midnight can the spell only be broken."
