Chapter 6 – Ditched to the Park
Bubbles Pov.
I warned her, and do she ever listens, nope. I guess that's her fault. I sat there; starring at my two sisters, one of them is scolding the other. This is like our daily routine, every day at least once, I would just sit there watching Blossom scolding Buttercup, in the living room, the kitchen, in their own rooms, and even in school. I even heard Blossom scolding at Buttercup in her sleep, which is kinda funny cause her room is all the way at the end of the hallway. And Buttercup, in her sleep, sometimes she would say 'I know, Bloss. You said that yesterday.' and continue to snore. What's even weirder is that we sleep in separates room, yet we can hear everything.
I didn't really realize that the Jojo brothers were kinda the same as us, except for the part where Brick wanting to beat-up Butch. I could tell that Boomer seem to be in the same position as I am, just sitting there and stare at his brothers. Blossom and Brick are making the scene worst. People started to surround our table and whispering, gossiping about the four of them. This is really getting tiring.
I sighed, but I also heard someone sighed next to me at the same time. Then I stood up, and saw that Boomer stood up the same time I did. I guess he had the same idea as I did. We both grabbed our drinks and came over to where our siblings were yelling at each other. Then counting under my breath to three, I dumped my water onto my sisters. I turned to look that Boomer did the same to his brothers and he looked at me. We knew exactly what to do next.
We both walked away from our shocked siblings and shooed the crowd away. "Ok people! There is nothing to see here!" I yelled.
"Just some family problems, so please move!" Boomer yelled at the other side.
Once the crowd was gone, we both turned around. To my surprise our siblings were still standing there in shock. Their eyes just widen in shock as they continue to stare at me and Boomer. I was about to say something but a rough voice came in. "All six of you, principal's office! Right now!" I heard the principle yelled at us. Oh, how fun this day is going to be, I thought as I sighed.
Blossom Pov.
We wouldn't be sitting right here if weren't for BC, who was yelling so loud that caught all the others attentions. You know she's maybe my sister, but her mouth is big, meaning she just doesn't stop.
All six of us we're all sitting outside our principle door waiting for Mrs. Kingsman to call us in. I looked over at BC, who kept on making noises since she kept on moving in her sit. I sighed, what to do? It's only the first day, and we are already at the principle office. Then I heard a chair move, I turned to see that BC had stood up. "I can't deal with this anymore!" Buttercup whispered yelled.
"I agree! Let's ditch this place." Brick's green eye brother said. BC and Butch was about to leave, but then I stood up.
"Where do you guys think you're going?" I asked.
"Uh, to ditch the place?" They both answered in union.
"BC, it's the first day we have already made a mess for Pro-"Before I could finish, I could tell that she was getting mad.
"Don't ever mention that name. You can never listen to me for once." She said.
"BC, you know you can't hide from anything too long." Bubbles said cutting in between us.
"And Blossom calm down, we're family so you don't have to bring out your big voice, especially since she was the one that stood up all to those people that called you a freak." Bubs said. She does have a point.
I could tell that the guys were staring at us in amazement on how we made peace to the family again. "Even if you tell me not to, I'm still going." BC said. She is always the stubborn one, yet the most pained one after hearing that Professor is going to continue to work and not coming back until he is finish with everything. She always saying that I was the one who was always hurt because of Professor, but she was wrong. 'I'm sorry, Bloss.' I heard a voice said in my head. For a minute, I felt like something hit me hard in the face.
Did I just hear BC's voice in my mind? But how did she? And how did I? Or maybe it's just my imaginations. "Hey, Buttercup, are you really going to leave without your sisters?" I asked with a small smile on my face.
She turned around in shocked at what I said, but return the smile back. "Why would I now?" She said. Bubbles stood up and ran to me hooking her arm around one of my arms, and then we both ran to BC. Bubbles then hook her other arm with one of BC's arm. We both started to laugh for no reason. I could feel awkwardness from the boys behind us.
I turned around to the three boys staring at us. "Well, are you guys going?" I asked them with a smile. I could tell that they're face turned pink a bit, but they all nodded and followed behind us.
BC turned her head around to see the three brothers walking slowly behind us. Then she turned back around to us. "Boys will always be boys. I mean did you see their faces turning pink, just because Bloss smile. Damn those perverts." BC whispered to us, all three of us laughed at the comment.
****************** 20 MINUTES LATER**************************
"I knew it! This was a bad idea. Maybe we should head back." I said worriedly, while turning the opposite way towards the school.
"What? To get our busted asses into more trouble? No!" Buttercup said as she dragged me back towards the group.
"So where are we going, since we can't really go back to school." I asked everyone. The guys finally joined us, instead of walking behind us.
"Well, I'm hungry, since I didn't eat lunch." BC said, while patting her tummy.
"I agree." Butch raised his hand.
"We didn't get to finish our lunch." Bubs said while pointing to her and Boomer.
"Well, I guess nobody really had lunch and the school is probably out, so we got your answer." Brick said.
"I guess going out for a while longer won't hurt, but we need to head back for our bikes." I said still worried the fact that ditching school is going to be on my record. What I go through for my sisters.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about the bikes." BC said.
"Really, you guys ride bikes to school? Isn't that cheap?" Butch asked.
"Those bikes are not cheap!" BC said crossing her arms.
"Well, we also forgot our cars too." Boomer said ignoring the greens arguments.
"You're right! I never thought of it though." Brick said.
"You have a car? That so cool! We don't have enough money to buy one so we each got a bike." Bubbles said.
"Oh, so you guys don't have enough money to buy one, huh? Hey Butterbabe maybe we should car pull sometime." Butch said.
"I rather ride my bike my whole life, instead of going in a car with you once. And it's Buttercup!" BC yelled.
"Hey, um, how about some crepes? I think there is a small crepe truck over there, where the park is." I said pointing across the street, continuing to ignore the stupid argument.
As we started to cross the street to the other side where the park was, one of the boys spoke up. "Um, what is crepe?" Boomer asked.
"Well, it's a type of pastry that you can eat. It can be a dessert or like I guess you can all so eat it like a sandwich, where the filling is ham, tomato, cheese, etc." Bubbles said.
"Really, we never tried crepes before." Brick said with embarrassment in his voice.
"Well now you guys get to try." I said as we got up to the truck. We continue to make our way to the truck, as the greens still continuing on about their argument.
"Hi, welcome to the crepe truck. What would you kids like today?" The old man in the truck asked us.
"Hm, um, I don't really know." Boomer said looking confuse at the menu.
"How about the blueberry banana crepe with nutella, that's what I usually get when ordering crepe." Bubbles said with a smile.
Boomer nodded in silent. "Ok, can I get 2 orders of blueberry banana crepe with nutella and extra whip cream please?" Bubbles said happily.
"Hmm, and I'll get a red berry nutella crepe with shredded almonds and a scoop of vanilla ice cream." Brick said looking at the menu in interest.
"Then I will get a strawberry banana crepe with nutella and a scoop of strawberry ice cream." I said ordering the same type of crepe when we went to Japan with the professor a couple of years ago.
"Can I have a chocolate banana crepe extra whip cream and a scoop of mint ice cream?" Buttercup told the old man.
"Ok, so far you kids want 2 orders of blueberry banana crepe with nutella and extra whip cream, an order of red berry nutella crepe with shredded almonds and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a strawberry banana crepe with nutella and a scoop of strawberry ice cream, and chocolate banana crepe extra whip cream and a scoop of mint ice cream. And how about you sir, in the green?" The old man asked Butch.
Butch look confuse and angry for a second. "Um then I will get, um…" Butch said then continues to stare at the menu.
BC sighed in annoyance. "Just get him the same as me, but vanilla ice cream." Buttercup ordered.
"Ok, then that would be $10.55. I gave you discounts since it seem you kids seem to be on a date." The old man whispered to me and smiled.
I blushed a bit before giving him the money. "No were just all friends, I guess." I told him smiling.
"You guess?" The old man raised an eye brow.
"More like strangers having an interest in crepes." Buttercup said while eyeing Butch.
********************10 MINUTES LATER*********************
"Thank you sir." I said grabbing my crepe.
"Enjoy your crepes. "He said.
As I turned back to the group I see that my sisters have headed different directions to find seats. I sighed. "What's with the long face?" Brick said standing next to me
"I don't know. It feels weird every time I'm separated from my sisters. It's like I get the feeling that we should always be together." I said while walking in another direction from my sisters.
"That's what I thought at first with my brothers, but we're used to it." Brick said following.
We found a bench under the light stand. The sky was getting darker, but still a bit orange. We sat there in silent, eating our pastry slowly. We finish it and threw the paper away, then head back to the bench
"So, um, I know this is a stupid question, but your eyes-"before he could finish, I answered it.
"It's real. Pink is my natural eye color." I said starring at the sky.
"Really? I have never seen a person with pink eyes before." He said.
I was about to change the subject, but he beat me to it. "I think it's unique." He said smiling at the sky.
I was shocked. I lower my head and faced him with wide eyes. Unique? I've never, no one has never…
I was speechless. He lowered his head and turned towards me. "What's with the face?" He said laughing a bit, which made me flush a bit.
"I-I…. how about yours? Is yours real?" I asked changing the subject.
"It's real," he said, with his laughter dying down, "pure red." He said now looking a bit uncomfortable.
"Well, I kinda like red. It's a great color." I said smiling at him. I was telling the truth and try not to get things awkward.
"We should head back to the group now." Brick said standing up as he started to walk. Did I make him feel even more out of place? I feel terrible now. I dragged my feet following Brick, with my head down.
What did I do? I sighed. I stopped in my tracks. I couldn't see Brick shadow in front anymore. I looked up, to supposedly expect to face Brick back, but nothing. I was alone.
My breathing starts to fasten as I realize that no living being was around me. I ran, shouting names to Brick. No answer. To his brothers. Nothing. To my sisters. Silences.
Sweat dripped down my forehead as I continued to search the park. I stopped. My hands were on my knees as I pant for air. Where are they? Did they leave me? No, it can't be Brick was right in front of me this whole time.
Then I turned around to start looking for them again, but to find I hit my face in someone broad chest. I heart started to race again for some reason, but this time from panic. "Hello Blossom. Or may I say Aura." A deep dark male voice said above me.
