The Cow Bird Syndrome

by X-x-Psycho-x-X

The Utonium's and the Jojo's are royalty. Brick, Butch and Boomer are invited to the castle but are shocked by what they see. The Utonium's are no ordinary royals, in fact their so far from it that they may as well be a normal family in a normal house. They do not follow the etiquette of being royalty and help the stuck up, snobby Jojo's relax and let loose.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Writer's block is a bitch :D

Chapter 3

(Normal P.O.V)

Great, Buttercup thought as she scrubbed the floor. Looking up she saw the room was still completely covered in food.

"Cant believe I have to clean this up all by myself." She muttered to herself. "Stupid dad."

"what was that?" Mr. Utonium questioned as he entered the kitchen.

"Nothing daddy." She plastered on a fake smile.

"That's what I thought." He said.

Buttercup stared up at her dad. "When can I go?" She asked.

"When the kitchen is spotless." He replied, walking out.

"Great." She muttered sarcastically.

Finally, she thought.

After an hour of cleaning she'd finally finished. Pushing herself of the floor she noticed a grinning Annabel in the doorway.

"Hi Buttercup!" She giggled, spinning around the room in her new dress.

"Hey Annabel." she smiled then nodded at the door. "Maria."

"Hello Buttercup." Maria smiled at her, then turned to Annabel.

"We had fun didn't we Annabel."

The little girl turned around, a huge grin on her face. "YEP!" She giggled out.

She suddenly stopped. And Buttercup looked up. "Where are Blossom and Bubbles?" She asked.

"In the living room." Maria answered.

"Do you think you could take Annabel in to play with them while I get cleaned up?" Buttercup smiled.

"Of course!" Maria said enthusiastically.

She picked Annabel up and headed for the living room.

Before leaving Annabel popped her head over the maids shoulder and waved.

"Bye-bye Buttercup." She sang out.

After she showered and got dressed Buttercup wondered around the castle to find her sisters and poor little Annabel. After looking for a while and not finding them she decided to go outside.

Walking along the garden path she heard the laughter of a small child and ran as fast as she could towards it. Looking straight ahead she hid behind a tree before anyone could see her.

"I LOVE LOLLY POPS!" She heard Annabel scream out. She laughed.

When Annabel got close to the tree Buttercup jumped out and scared her.

(Annabel's P.O.V)

"AHHHHHHHHH" I screamed as Buttercup jumped out at me. I looked up, frightened for a few seconds. Then I saw a sad look on Buttercup's face, begging me to forgive her.

Looking at her expression I burst out laughing.

Buttercup smiled at me.

(Normal P.O.V)

The girls spent the next few hours playing outside on the swings and playing hide and seek.

After a while Alisha - another one of the maids - came running out.

"Come on girls," She said. "You four need to get ready for tonight."

The girls looked at her, clearly confused.

Reading their expressions, Alisha went into more detail.

"You, your father and the Jojo's will be eating a meal together. Hurry up and get dressed. And when I say dressed up I mean lady-like. And I'm talking to you in particular Buttercup."

Buttercup smirked and they all trailed inside, following Alisha.
