Boomer woke up as happy as ever.

He had finally gotten Bubbles' forgiveness. Although he knew he didn't really deserve it, he was happy that she was his friend again. Now he just had to get over his burning feeling for her, and everything would be okay. It can't be that hard to get over a crush..right?

The blonde walked down the stairs, stretching his arms out over his head. He wandered into the living room, where he found Brick and Blossom. The couple were on the couch, kissing each other hungrily. Boomer rolled his eyes and coughed to get their attention. It didn't work. He coughed again, but the pair continued kissing.

"Get a room!" Boomer said loudly before sitting on the other couch. Blossom and Brick pulled apart to glare at him. Brick chuckled at his brother.

"We're in one, Boomer." Was his reply.

Boomer sighed and turned on the TV, scanning for a show to distract him from the new couple. Brick pulled Blossom closer to him and buried his head into her neck, making her giggle. Boomer rolled his eyes again and glued his sight to the TV.

"By the way, Bubbles said something about meeting up with everyone today so I said everyone could come here and hang out for the day." Boomer said. "Y'know, watch a few movies and have drinks."

Blossom smiled in approval. "That's a great idea, Boomer." Brick nodded in agreement.

"I'm gonna go for a shower. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Boomer said to his brother before heading upstairs. Brick laughed at his comment and turned his attention back to his beautiful girl.

"I couldn't even sleep last night, I missed you that much." Brick said cutely before kissing her twice on the lips. Blossom blushed and snuggled into his chest. She smiled down at the ground and placed her hand on his stomach.

"Why don't we go look through Butch's movie collection for tonight. Pretty sure he's only got scary ones, but that should be fine." Brick said smirking. Blossom rolled her eyes and stood up, her hand dragging him up with her.

"What am I going to do with you, Brick." Blossom muttered while shaking her head slowly.


Social gathering at Brick's house. Could be fun. You interested? Hope to see you there, beautiful. I love you. Brody. X

Maxine smiled brightly as she re-read the text over and over. She was happy to have Brody back. She couldn't stand him being mad at her. Maxine hopped out of bed and walked over to her mirror. She brushed her hair quickly before replying.

Sounds great. I'll meet you guys there in a few hours. I love you too, handsome. Max. X

She sent the text and put her phone down on her white dresser. Maxine heard her stomach growl and decided to go down to get some breakfast before getting ready. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

Maxine saw her mother, Mellisa, sitting at the table. She had puffy red eyes and tears streaming down her face. Panic and horror built up inside Maxine as she ran over to her mother with wide eyes.

"Mom!" Maxine cried. "What's wrong!? Why are you crying?"

Mellisa looked up her daughter and gasped slightly. She quickly wiped her tears away with the end of her sleeve, and sniffled. Mellisa faked a smile, but Maxine could tell it was put on.

"It's nothing, Maxine. I'm fine." Mellisa replied as she sat up straight in her chair.

"You are not fine, mom, you're crying. This week you've been acting strange. What is going on?" Maxine asked in concern as she sat down on the other chair.

"You don't have to worry about me, dear." Mellisa said.

Maxine frowned. "I do! You're my mother!" She screamed, only making Mellisa flinch. Mellisa started crying again, not heavily, just a couple tears. Maxine was getting ready to call Brody for support, as Brody was close with Miss Slater.

"Maxine, today is just a very hard day for me. I can't tell you why, it just is, okay!" Mellisa yelled back. Maxine didn't even ask what it was, she just wanted to make sure her mother was alright. Maxine scooted closer and hugged her mother tightly.

"It's going to be okay." Maxine said to her fragile mother.

"Go out and have fun with your friends. I'm going to be fine, honey. I just need some rest." Mellisa assured her daughter. Maxine broke their hug and looked her mother in the eyes.

"Are you sure, mom?" Maxine asked.

"Yes." Mellisa smiled. Maxine smiled back and gave her another hug before going upstairs to get dressed. Mellisa waited until she was gone before taking out her phone and dialing a number.

".. ..Ethan?..It's Mellisa...Yeah, I think it's time we tell Maxine the truth.." Mellisa said in determination before hanging up and sighing. She glanced at a picture of her and Maxine when Maxine was just a little baby. She frowned before going to her bed for a nap.


It was 5pm and everyone had showed up at Brick's house for movie night. Brick and Blossom had picked out a gorey movie about zombies, and Buttercup brought a lot of food. They all gathered in the living room.

"So, what movie did you guys pick?" Boomer asked as he took a seat on the couch.

Brick held up the film. "Zombie Killers 2." He smirked as Boomer's face fell and Bubbles smacked her forehead at his movie choice. He knew they didn't like scary movies.

"I love that movie!" Buttercup said with a grin as she sat down on the couch in between Butch and Boomer.

"Me too!" Butch said. "It's so cool when the zombie leader gets that ancient sword and starts jabbing this couple." He said using the TV remote as an example and started jabbing the air. Buttercup grinned and nodded.

"Yeah! Then he uses the sword to cut a powerline and electrocuted that bald guy!" Buttercup exclaimed, for once getting on with Butch. Everyone was shocked that they weren't screaming at each other like usual.

Hearing the description of what would be going on in this film, Bubbles frowned and snuggled into Tyler, not wanting to watch it at all. Tyler held her close and stroked her blonde curls, making Boomer stare at them with narrow eyes.

"Just put it in already!" Brody moaned.

Brick walked over to the TV and put the movie in. He turned the light on so the only light in the room was coming from the television. Buttercup opened the popcorn and started eating fistfuls of it, and spent ten minutes fighting with Butch for the bag.

Twenty minutes later, everyone was sitting quietly, enjoying the movie. Blossom and Brick were sitting on the floor, with Brick's legs out straight, and Blossom's legs over his. She was leaning on his shoulder and her hand was on his.

Boomer was on the couch, paying attention to Bubbles more than the film. Tyler was sitting with his legs out and Bubbles in between them. He had his arm around her waist protectively. Boomer didn't like it at all.

Buttercup was also on the couch, lying on her back with her legs in the air, getting an upside-down view of the movie. Butch was beside her, grinning at all the gorey parts of the film that made Bubbles scream.

Brody and Maxine were on the floor. He was on his stomach with Maxine sitting on his back and playing with his hair. Blossom couldn't help but smile at how cute they looked together.

"Oh, this is my favorite part!" Buttercup said as she watched intensely.

Suddenly one of main characters on the movie was falling down a broken elevator shaft, and got crushed by the elevator when it came down. Buttercup and Butch started laughing, making Brick glare at them with a blank face.

Bubbles covered her eyes and snuggled closer to Tyler. "I don't like this movie." She muttered into his chest. Tyler chuckled and put his arms around her, bringing her closer. Boomer glared at them dangerously.

Buttercup grabbed a hand full of popcorn and shoved it in her mouth.

"What movie are we going to watch next? This one's almost finished." Brick said as he glanced at everyone.

"Anything that doesn't have scary zombies." Bubbles suggested, not paying attention to the movie anymore. Brick nodded and walked over to Butch's DVD collection, scanning through them. Butch had so many scary movies, it took Brick five hole minutes to find a non-scary one. He finally got an action/comedy thriller.

"This looks good." Brick said, reading the back of the film.

Buttercup was finally sitting up straight beside Butch, rolling her eyes at the non-scary film Brick had chosen. She didn't want to watch a comedy so she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep until it was over.

Brick put the film in as Zombie Killer 2 was pretty much finished. He pressed play and took his seat beside Blossom. She kissed his cheek and smiled at him, making him look at her with amusement. Brick kissed her passionately and took her in his arms. Butch noticed this and started fake gagging.

"What's this movie about?" Brody asked as he glanced at the TV screen.

"I don't know, it looks pretty funny though." Brick replied.

After about half an hour, Butch could hear someone snoring softly. He glanced at Buttercup, who was practically passed out on the couch. Butch noticed how peaceful she looked when she slept, like she didn't have a care in the world.

Butch glared at her and smirked mischief as he grabbed a black pen.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you.." Blossom said, noticing Butch's idea.

He shrugged. "I'm just going to draw something on her face. What harm can it do?"

"..Do I even need to answer that?" Blossom replied giving him a look. Butch smirked and brought the pen to her face. He began drawing little love-hearts on her cheeks, because she hates love-hearts. He then wrote 'Butchy boy' in big letters across her fore-head. Tyler and Brody chuckled as Butch drew all over the girls face.

"What song should we play at your funeral, Butch?" Bubbles said in her quiet voice. Tyler laughed at her joke, while Butch simply smiled. Her face was a mess now, but she still looked peaceful.

Butch panicked when she began stirring. He thought she was about to wake up, and realised how close to death he actually was. Buttercup moaned a little and shifted in her seat, her head lay itself on Butch's shoulder. Butch smiled as she began snoring again.

"I genuinely thought she was about to wake up and murder you." Brody said as he gave Butch an amused glare.

Butch looked down at Buttercup. "She will kill me..just not yet." He said softly. Butch chuckled as he turned his attention back to the TV. This was only the beginning, on the boxing trip the war would begin..


It was getting late, and most of the group had left. All that was left was Brick, Blossom, Boomer, Butch and Buttercup..who was still sleeping. Tyler walked Bubbles home, as she was getting tired herself, and Brody had to be back a bit earlier than usual, so Maxine left with him.

"Wha.." Buttercup said as she woke up. She realised that she was using someone as a pillow. Buttercup looked up to see a smirking Butch, and jumped back away from him.

"Morning, sunshine." Butch said sarcastically.

Buttercup gave him daggers. "You could have woken me up, Butchy boy." Luckily she wouldn't notice her face until she got home and was away from Butch. So he could live another day.

"We should get home, Buttercup." Blossom said.

Buttercup nodded. "Yeah. Bye guys." The girls got up and walked to the door. Buttercup walked out and waited for Blossom outside, giving her a moment alone with Brick.

"Bye, Brick." Blossom said, giving him a quick kiss.

She walked outside to join her sister, but suddenly felt the urge to see him again, and to kiss him again. Blossom ran back up and put her hands on his neck, pulling him into a deep kiss. Brick was stunned, but kissed back. He pulled away and smiled at her, which she returned. He kissed her fore-head.

"Goodnight." She said before leaving with Buttercup. Brick stood perfectly still, staring at where she once stood. He grinned, pleased to be dating such an amazing girl. Though he had the feeling that this was more to her than it was to him. They were dating.

Dating.

No commitment..right?

It was clear.

It was dating.

Brick watched her walking away with her sister. His eyes looked away, his mind was telling him it was too much. She was perfect for him. Perfect. In his mind, he was screaming for a way to get out. He couldn't handle the pressure of being in a relationship, not like this.

He frowned and closed the door.


The next morning, Buttercup was getting up for school. She grogily climbed out of her bed, dragging herself away from the comfort. It hurt to open her eyes. She was too tired to be going to school.

Buttercup stretched her arms out as she walked into the bathroom. She walked over to the mirror with closed drowsy eyes and yawned. When she opened her eyes again, they went very wide.

"BUTCH JOJO!"
