Falling in Love Chapter 11, a powerpuff girls fanfic

Chapter 11: PPG

As I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I sighed. I looked beyond beautiful. My hair was pulled into a bun with artfully placed curls going down to my cheeks with diamonds strewn through my red hair. I wore the new dress I just bought for the concert with black stilettos that were at least 8 inches tall. My skin glowed from the lotion I used and they became silky soft to the touch. I wore a simple but elegant necklace with a single diamond hanging on the chain. I had diamond earrings on with another simple piece of jewelry, a diamond bracelet to match my other pieces. I had clear mascara on my eyelashes with nude lipstick on to make my lips shine. My dress flattered my body and made me look like a model. I was utterly breathtaking.

Once I finished admiring myself, I stepped outside of the bathroom to take a look at how they looked. Everyone gasped once they saw me and gave me an approving look. That was a relief. Robin was wearing a simple purple dress that went to her knees and had a small black belt around the waist. She had black heels on too, though hers were shorter. Her hair was straightened but tapered to the back of her head which showed off her new layers. Buttercup wore a short green dress with black lines running through it in different directions. She had black heels on her feet like Robin and I. Her black hair was up in a waterfall braid that went to the side of her head. Bubbles wore a short golden dress with a blue belt going across the waistline. She had golden heels on and her wavy blonde hair was reaching down to the small of her back. We all looked amazing.

We walked outside to the BMW where we all hopped in. Bubbles took off down the road. We were desperate to get to the concert. We were all super giddy about the concert. I couldn't wait to see Brick perform for me. I was also extremely nervous about what my sisters and friend would think of me dating him. I fumbled with the radio to calm myself down and I finally found a song that was one of my favorites.

Sparks Fly - Taylor Swift

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless
That should send me runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

By now, we were all singing and dancing along to the music. We followed the pitch and bars as we drove along on the highway. The car roof was down, so our voices carried over other cars. We laughed when we began to hear other people singing with us. We smiled so much that my muscles began to hurt.

My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something,
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would...

I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

With Bubbles driving, Robin, Buttercup, and I stood up and sat on top of our seats. We were dancing as the breeze whipped our hair out of our faces. So much for taking 20 minutes doing my hair, but who cares, I could fix it later. I was having to much fun with my BFF's. We sung at the top of our lungs as we drove to the show. It was a miracle that we weren't pulled over.

Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pouring rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

And the sparks fly...
Oh, baby, smile...
And the sparks fly...

As soon as we arrived at the concert hall, the four of us rushed to the bathroom to clean up and fix our hair. I was so thankful that Bubbles convinced us to look really nice. The other girls in the bathroom were wearing fancy dresses too, though they were ugly. There were three girls wearing three of the ugliest dresses possible. One was wearing a short pink and red dress with black running through it sideways. She had ribbons flying through her red hair in wild directions. Another one was wearing a dark blue dress with black streamers at the bottom that stopped above her knees. She also had blue ribbons running through her blonde hair which was in pigtails. The last one was wearing a dark green dress with black spikes on the edges of it. She had black hair with green ribbons flowing through her spiky black hair. The three of them seemed to notice us when we walked in since they stared at us with jealously due to our hot dresses. We smirked and couldn't help but giggle at their ridiculous dresses. They made their way towards us and sashayed off and out of the bathroom while giving us evil glares. The four of us burst out laughing as soon as they left.

"Did you see those dresses?" I said in between my fits of laughter.

"OMG! Where did they buy those? They looked like they found them in a trash can from the 60s!" Bubbles shrieked.

"Did you see their hair? What was with all those god awful ribbons? They looked like 9 year olds!" Buttercup laughed.

"I can't get over how similar they were to you three though. Man, I'm glad I hung with you instead of those three!" Robin said while giggling.

"OMG! You are so right! Those three were the PowerPunks! Those were the girls that were bullying you! Thank god I saved you from their misfortunes of hair and style!" I said totally taken by surprise.

"The PowerPunks? I heard they are obsessed with the RowdyRuffs. That's all they talked about during school." Buttercup said.

"Speaking of RowdyRuffs, we have to meet Mitch before the show starts which is in 10 minutes!" Robin said quickly.

We all hurried with our makeup and power walked to the lines where Mitch was waiting. We ran through the VIP line which was also the first row line. We met up with him at the ticket booth where we finally entered the concert hall. He took Robin's hand as we walked to our row. We made our way to the very middle and sat down. Mitch sat down next to me with his hand still wrapped around Robin. He was kissing her head as he looked up at the stage where the boys would be coming out soon. He had light brown hair which hung just above his ears. He had icy light blue eyes that sparkled in the light. He was also really muscular since he was a fitness trainer. I thought he was cute, so I couldn't have been happier for her since he treated her right. He cared about her more than anyone else. He never failed at making her happy.

After all the rows filled up completely, the lights began to dim and a huge amount of fog began to crawl all over the stage. We heard screams and howls coming from behind us, though the four of us just stared, waiting to finally see the band. Little did any of my sisters know or Robin, but the RowdyRuffs were actually her brothers. I was a little surprised that she didn't catch on to their name having her last name in the band name, but I guess she couldn't believe if her brother's were actually good enough to sing. The three of them had amazing voices according to their albums. I would finally get to hear Brick sing. I had asked him over and over again to sing for me, but he said I would have to wait until the concert.

After a moment of silence in complete darkness, the lights flashed and lit the stage. I was amazed at how cool they looked. Butch wore a skin tight green shirt with a black tie that showed off his eight pack beneath the shirt and wore black jeans with green converse. His hair was black and spiky and he had green eyes. He sat behind a huge drum set. Boomer was wearing the same thing but with a blue shirt and he had blonde hair that was past his ears and was ruffled messily with his blue eyes shining. He stood with a blue electric guitar in his hands. Brick was wearing the same thing except with a red shirt which also showed off his six pack beneath it. His red hair was covering his forehead just above his crimson eyes and he stood just behind the microphone. They stood in silence and I turned to my right where I saw my sisters and Robin gawking at what they saw.

The boys stood silently until Boomer strung a few notes on his guitar. Butch began playing his drums softly as they built up alongside Brick's super amazing voice. Brick was right about me waiting until tonight to hear him sing. He had an amazing voice that sung soft chords and made a harmony with the guitar. After a minute of soft harmony, they stopped dead silent. We waited and they broke out into song.

Locked Out of Heaven - Bruno Mars

One, two, one, two, three

Oh, yeah, yeah,
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh!
Oh, yeah, yeah,
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh!

Never had much faith in love or miracles
Ooh!
Never wanna put my heart on the line
Ooh!
But swimming in your water* is something spiritual
Ooh!
I'm born again every time you spend the night
Ooh!

By now, everyone was screaming. We were on our feet and swaying to their music. My body danced to the voice of Brick, making him smile as he saw how beautiful I looked. He winked at me but made all the girls in the room go nuts.

'Cause your sex takes me to paradise
Yeah, your sex takes me to paradise
And it shows, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Yeah, you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh!
Oh, yeah, yeah,
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh!

You bring me to my knees, you make me testify
You can make a sinner change his ways
Open up your gates 'cause I can't wait to see the light
And right there is where I wanna stay

'Cause your sex takes me to paradise
Yeah, your sex takes me to paradise
And it shows, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Yeah, you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long

They were reaching the end of the song and the boys were rocking out hard. Robin was dancing next to Mitch who was dancing next to her. My sisters were dancing with each other, but I danced secretly with Brick. He followed my movements on the stage and never took his eyes off me.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can I just stay here?
Spend the rest of my days here?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't I just stay here?
Spend the rest of my days here?

'Cause you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Yeah, you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh!
Oh, yeah, yeah,
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh!

We all expected them to stop, but no. After a second of silence, they dove into the next song.

Some Nights - FUN

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know anymore...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh

Brick was now dancing along to his singing and reached out to me with his hand. He was only teasing me. He wouldn't pull me on stage to dance with him when we hadn't told the other girls we were dating. He looked at me with longing, but pulled back and danced a lot longer.

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style

That's alright (that's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)

So this is it. I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?

(Come on)

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on.
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the freak wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

I gazed in awe as Brick jumped and landed in a split as he continued to sing. I screamed and jumped even harder than before. He was an incredible singer, but an even better dancer.

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights... ah...

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh

The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...

The boys ended the second song and bowed before they exited the stage. Everyone was laughing and cheering during the break. Robin looked at me with sudden confusion. I just ignored her, not wanting to give her any hints. I just stared at the stage without any emotion showing on my face until I saw only Brick come out and make his way towards a piano that appeared out of nowhere. He strutted over to the seat and sat himself down. He rested his hands on the piano keys and began to play. He leaned into the microphone and began to sing.

When I Was Your Man - Bruno Mars

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

He looked at me and gazed at me with longing. His head was moving to the beat of the music. I felt my heart soar when a single tear that I only noticed fell down his cheek.

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

I loved this song, and I realized he wrote it about me when it came on the radio. He wrote a song for me, telling me he never wanted me to leave. The song came out before we started dating. He mustv'e written it because he was longing to be with me.

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

After he ended the song, he walked to the center of the stage and grabbed the single microphone.

"We will now be taking a short intermission." he said.

"That's our cue." Bubbles said over the crowd of screaming people.

We all stood up and walked past a bunch of crying fans. I shed a tear or two during that beautiful performance. I was on the brink of tears as my heart craved Brick's arms around my waist as he kissed me. I just had to wait. The five of us, including Mitch walked to the backstage. As soon as I saw Brick talking to his brothers, I immediately felt the surge of force come through me since I wanted to run and kiss him. I buried that urge as I saw the other girls gaze at them with confusion. I saw Bubbles staring intently at Boomer and I saw Buttercup smirking at Butch who was paying no attention to us. Robin was the first to speak.

"You three are the RowdyRuffs? That's impossible!" Robin said confused.

"Yeah, we are the band. Confused? We didn't want you to know since you would tell the whole school and we didn't want the paparazzi to go crazy." Boomer said.

"I would have kept it a secret." Robin replied even though we both knew she couldn't keep that secret for to long.

"Well, we couldn't trust anyone." Butch said with a smirk on his face.

By now, Boomer gazed at Bubbles intently as Butch did to Buttercup. I couldn't stay away from Brick any longer. I released my feelings and lunged towards him in a huge hug. I pulled his face to mine as I kissed him full on the lips. Tears were spilling over my cheeks while I continued to kiss him. I could feel stares coming from everywhere, but I didn't care. As soon as we broke apart, a bunch of questions were asked.

"What is going on!" Robin asked with worry in her voice.

"I'm sorry Robin that I didn't tell you. I have been dating Brick since my attempted rape. He loves me and I love him just as much. I didn't tell you because it is weird that I am dating my best friend's stepbrother. I'm sorry I lied to you, but I didn't want to lose you or Brick. We decided we would tell you tonight. Please forgive me and don't kill him later." I said explaining everything quickly.

She stared at me intently. I saw she was trying to be mad, but she couldn't hold grudges. She tried to sound mad when she yelled, but I saw tears forming in her eyes.

"Does he make you happy?" She asked after she lectured me.

"Yes! He is my soul mate." I replied with that dumb statement.

I blushed when I felt Brick curl his arm around my waist. I wanted so much as to kiss him again.

"Then, I forgive you and I understand why you didn't tell me." she said.

"Thanks so much." I said feeling happier than ever.

"Sorry to interrupt your moment guys, but we still have to perform." Boomer said staring through the curtain.

"Blossom, do you want to sing with me?" Brick asked with hope in his eyes.

How could I say no? I was speechless, but I nodded. He took my hand and led me to the stage where there were 2 microphones set up. I looked back to the curtain where the girls were giving me thumbs up. I sighed and began to grow nervous. I had never sung in front of this many people. With just one look at Brick, I relaxed and began to sing.

Stay - Rihanna

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat hot-headed believer
I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something,"
He said, "If you dare come a little closer."

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know.

By now, we were dancing together on the stage as we danced our hearts out. He spun me around as we harmonized together.

Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay

It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take – it's given

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know.

Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay.

I felt like I was on Cloud Nine. He danced me around as he picked me up and carried me across the stage. We danced like the first time we danced together. I felt so alive as we glided and soared across the stage.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, the reason I hold on
Ooh, ooh, ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving.

Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay, stay.
I want you to stay, oh.

When we ended the song, we had our foreheads touching. I leaned into his face as we kissed in front of the audience. It was an electrifying kiss and I felt alive. He tenderly wrapped his arm around my waist as he continued to kiss me. When we broke apart, everyone screamed and cheered. We were panting heavily as we walked offstage. We had shared our very first duet and it was better than I could have imagined it. The girls embraced me in a hug as his brothers slapped him on the back as they laughed.

"Guys, you need to do a finale!" the manager said as he came running towards us.

The boys nodded and the manager gave them a thumbs up. All of us were pulled onstage with the boys including Mitch. We all huddled and decided which song we needed to sing. Once we broke apart, we began to sing in harmony, Brick and. I taking the melody.

Applause - Lady Gaga

[Verse 1:]
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, "Is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an I.V., baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)

The crowd was now standing up and screaming with their arms waving in the air. We kept singing in pairs as we took each verse.

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

[Verse 2:]
I've overheard your theory "nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read
One second I'm a Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art, now art's in pop culture in me

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

[Bridge:]
Touch, touch
Touch, touch now
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me.
The applause, applause, applause

I looked around and noticed that Bubbles and Boomer were dancing together and Buttercup and Butch were too. Mitch and Robin were harmonizing together, which surprised me. I didn't know he could sing. I didn't care though, what mattered was singing with Brick.

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch (make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

A-R-T-P-O-P

After our performance, the crowd went wild. We all took center stage and bowed. We couldn't stop smiling, especially me. I was holding Brick's hand and I didn't want to let go. As soon as we left the stage, the girls began talking about how cool that was.

"That was so freakin' cool!" Buttercup said giddily.

"I know right! I could do that again." Bubbles said in unison with Robin.

"Did you see the PowerPunks, they were so pissed off." Buttercup said while laughing.

I actually wasn't paying attention since I was still holding Brick's warm hand. I could finally be his and he could be mine.
