The following Monday on the bus ride to school Blossom sat with her head on Dexter's shoulder with her eyes closed and is holding his hand with a smile on her face that someone could only have when they are with someone the truly care for.
From the seat behind her and Dexter Bubbles and Buttercup were giggling at them. Blossom had told her sisters everything that had happened when Dexter and her finally said goodbye for the night and both of her sisters were happy for Blossom.
"Hush you two." Blossom says to her sisters as their giggling grew louder.
As the day went by the four of them notices some changes in the school. Kids were whispering as they walked by and every time they saw Morbucks she would glare at them with eyes red with anger. It was obvious that she was mad as hell at Dexter and the girls for taking her boyfriend's away from her and Blossom was pretty sure that Morbucks was in on the whole plan, but she wasn't at the theater so they only had the word of what Dee Dee had said she heard. Which wasn't enough for the police to bring in the daughter of the richest man in all of Townsville.
At lunch Bubbles decides that she can't take seeing Morbucks as sad as she clearly is.
Standing up from the table she says; "I'll be back in a minute." To her sister and Dexter.
The cafeteria grows quite as Bubbles walked over to where Morbucks is sitting with the cheerleaders.
Bubbles felt sorry for her, losing your friends is something Bubbles would never wish upon anyone, not even Morbucks.
"Um Morbucks." Bubbles says when she reached the table Morbucks sat at. "We're really sorry your friends were taken away. But they did bad things, and bad people can't be free to hurt other people. You may not want to, but we are always willing to let the past be the past and move on from it. So friends?" Bubbles asks holding out a hand to Morbucks.
Morbucks slaps Bubbles hand away. "Fuck off you freak, I hate you. And I will always hate you and your freaks for sisters."
Bubbles turns away and starts walking back to her table hanging her head in defeat. She doesn't like seeing people angry and just wants everyone to be friends.
"It was worth a try." Blossom says as Bubbles sat back down at their table.
"Morbucks is going to be sour at us for a long time." Buttercup says patting Bubbles on the back.
"And you did what was needed to be done." Dexter says adding his words of reassurance to the others.
"I know we did what we had too, but she looks so sad and lonely." Bubbles says dropping her head onto her crossed arms on the table.
"I'm sure she'll get over it, there are hundreds of brainless jocks for her to pick from for new boy toys." Buttercup says putting her headphones into her ears.
Ever since Dexter got home from his date with Blossom he had started to wonder if things would change between him and the girls now that he was more than just friends with Blossom. But as he kept thinking on this his wonder had turned into worry and as he walked down the hall after lunch holding Blossoms hand it showed on his face.
"Is something wrong Dexter?" Blossom asks noticing the worried look on his face.
"I'm just so unsure about things." Dexter says being very vague with his answer.
"About us? Like you think maybe this was a bad idea?" She asks fear filling her.
"Oh no I'm happy about us being, well us, but its everything else. What your sisters think, what might change between the four of us and what I am supposed to do with you as my girlfriend." He says explaining what was bothering him.
"Oh." She says happy that he isn't unsure about them. "Bubbles and Buttercup are fine with us being us, they picked on me and bugged me for questions all night but that's just them being them. Things are going to change between all of us, it's what happens when friends become more than friends. And in all honestly we don't have to do anything special, so long as I'm with you I'm happy."
After hearing her explanation his worries seemed silly and he laughed them away with a small chuckle. "It's funny, I'm a self-proclaimed genius but I have absolutely no idea what the two of us should do as a couple.".
"Remember, we don't have to do anything we feel like we have to do because we are a couple." She says squeezing his gloved hand.
All that really did changed, besides his work schedule becoming more sporadic on which days he works as summer drew near, was Dexter would hold Blossoms hand when they were together. Like on the bus ride to school, when they were walking to class or walking home. He would also give her an affectionate kiss hello every morning and a goodbye kiss when they parted ways for the day, both of which he enjoyed. He has also stopped wearing his gloves so when he was holding Blossoms hand he didn't have the layer of purple rubber between their hands, but he still kept them with him at all times.
Dexter has never felt emotions like the ones he had for Blossom. Sure he cares for his mother and father and deeply cares for his sister despite all she's done to him in the past, but with Blossom it was different. Every moment he spends with her was a great moment and he wondered why he denied that he liked he like he did for so long.
In the back of Dexter's mind he would worry about COMPUTER and her being found, but no one ever came for her so he chalked it up to them just being really lucky.
At first Bubbles and Buttercup would make little jokes at Dexter and Blossom over them being a couple, but after a while they seemed to have gotten bored of it and stopped. Dexter had stopped doing his math and science homework in study hall and would go over to the girl's house to work on it with Blossom. Or he would just go over to their house to spend time with Blossom, usually cuddling on the couch watching TV or reading separate books.
Dexter being at their house was when most of Bubbles Buttercup's and jokes happened. They both had their own forum of messing with Blossom and Dexter, Buttercup would play various love songs from her vast collection of music or attempt to play them on her guitar. Bubbles joking was a bit sweeter, she would leave drawing of Dexter and Blossom together, which were quite good, in places she knew one of the two would find them.
Normally Dexter would get annoyed at stuff like this, but when he was with Blossom none of Buttercups or Bubbles jokes even fazed him. He would laugh with Blossom at Bubbles drawings and would hold Blossom closer or give her a kiss when Buttercup played a song., which was the main reason they gave up on the teasing.
One day almost a month after they started dating an idea came to Dexter, it was after school and he didn't work that afternoon.
"Hey Blossom, you up for maybe getting some ice cream?" Dexter asks as he walked down the street holding Blossoms hand behind her sisters.
"Sure." Blossom say smiling at him before turning to talk to her sisters in front of her. 'I'll see you guys at home." She tells her sisters as her and Dexter turn to walk a different direction.
"Bye Blossom, bye Dexter." Bubbles says waving.
"Later love birds." Buttercup says not waving like her sister.
"Aren't they just cute together?" Bubbles asks turning to her sister walking with her.
"Like a couple of baby puppies." Buttercup says sarcastically.
"Oh my gosh yes! I'm so happy for Blossom and Dexter, after everything Blossom has put up with she deserves someone that loves her." Bubbles says missing Buttercups sarcasm.
"Yeah, she does." Buttercup says hiding how happy she is for her older sister. She'd never tell anyone, but she's been shipping her sister and Dexter since the day they went sledding back during the Christmas break.
"Yo-you think Mom would be happy too?" Bubbles asks bring up their mother.
"Honestly I don't know Bubbles, all we know of Mom is what The Professor knew. I think as a mom she would be happy for her daughter, but past that we will never really know." Buttercup says trying her best to answer her sister's question.
"I like to think that she would be, and that she'd be proud of us too." Bubbles says looking up at the sky.
The Utonium's were not a very religious family, but as she looked up at the sky Bubbles hopped that their mother was looking down at them from heaven happy and proud of her daughters.
"Come on lets go to the music store, Blossom can't be the only one to have some fun today." Buttercup says grabbing her sister's arm and pulling her down the street snapping Bubbles out of her daydream of their mother.
"Thank you Dexter." Blossom says thanking Dexter for buying her ice cream as she took her cup of strawberries ice cream with plain M&M's mixed in from the clerk at the ice cream parlor they had gone to.
"You're welcome Blossom." Dexter says as he took his cup of chocolate with HEATH Bar pieces mixed in.
The parlor was a bit crowded inside so Dexter and Blossom had gone to sit at the tables outside the shop.
As they sat eating Dexter continued to tell her the story of his brief time as a popular kid in his old school.
"Looking back on it now I don't know what those other kids thought was so cool about my glasses being broken. I'm just glad it ended as quickly as it did, being popular is just not me." Dexter says thinking back on the whole ordeal.
"Fads are a strange thing, I never cared to follow any myself." Blossom says eating a spoon full of her ice cream.
"Well I learned the hard way that it is best to not bother with them myself." He says smiling.
The thought of Dexter's glasses being broken sparked an idea inside Blossoms head. "I want to see something." She says setting her cup down and reaching across the table to Dexter.
"Ok" He says not sure what she is about to do to him.
Blossom slowly takes his glasses off of his head and sets them down on the table. "Humm…" She says as she looked at her boyfriend without his glasses on. Without his glasses Blossom could see his green eyes a lot better but he just didn't look right without them. "Don't ever get contacts." She says convinced that he looks better with his glasses on.
He lets out a little laugh then says; "Ok, I won't."
As he picked up his glasses he hears an unknown voice say; "Dexter McPherson?"
"Yes?" He says putting his glasses back on and sees two men in black suits with black ties on. 'Ah crud.' he thinks as he guesses who these two are.
"We are with Global Security and we need to talk with you." One of the men says looking down at Dexter.
"Last I checked it was a free country, so talk away." Dexter says not looking forward to the conversation he is about to have with the two men.
"This is a conversation best had without present company." The other guy says looking at Blossom.
'They must not know who Blossom is.' Dexter thinks looking over at Blossom who looked just as annoyed as he did. She looks over at him and gives him a little nod of her head. Taking her nod as a sign she is ok with them talking Dexter says; "Anything you need to say to me, you can say in front of her." Making sure he doesn't name Blossom.
"Very well, we are here about a curtain rocket you had failed to tell us about you still had at your previous place of residence." The first guy says that Dexter has named in his head Goon One.
"The consequences from this could be very severe." Goon Two says.
'Took The Goon Squad long enough to complain about this.' Dexter thinks glad that they must not have found out about COMPUTER.
"In all reality we should place you under arrest and bring you in, knowing a super like Monkey won't help you this time." Goon One says crossing his arms.
"Wasn't it you guys who couldn't find Mandark for months when he was just at his grandparent's farm?" Blossom asks crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at the men standing before them.
"You say out of this." Goon Two says confirming Dexter's suspicion that they don't know who she is.
"If Dexter hadn't had that shock grenade Brick, Boomer and Butch probably would have done a lot more damage to the city." Blossom says getting annoyed at the men.
"You are just a little girl and you need to keep your mouth shut." Goon One says pointing at Blossom.
Blossom pushes her chair back to stand up, wipes her shirt and skirt clean then grabs both men by the collar of their shirts and says; "My name is Blossom Utonium, leader of The Powerpuff Girls and you need to realize who you are talking to. I am the girl that saved Major Glory's own butt from Mascumax with my sisters when we were only ten." Lifting them off the ground.
"Wer-were sorry Ms. Utonium." The two men say together.
"We just want to keep him from doing anything dangerous." Goon One says as him and Goon Two start to panic realizing who Blossom is.
"I happen to live next door and go to school with Dexter. I doubt he would ever do anything bad, but you can trust me to keep a close eye on him." Blossom says setting the men down, she only wanted to prove to them who she was after all.
"We understand, I think we are done here Agent Five." Goon One says looking over to his partner.
"I think you are right Agent Six." The man Dexter named Goon Two says straightens his tie.
"Here is our card, in case you ever need to get in contact with Global Security." Agent Five says handing Blossom a card just like the one Honeydew had given Dexter.
"I doubt I'll need to." Blossom says taking the card from the man.
As the two men turn to walk quickly away Dexter sees how similar the card is to the one he had gotten. "May I see that?" He asks Blossom as he stood up and held out his hand.
"Sure, I don't plan in keeping it." Blossom says giving him the card.
Dexter holds the card up to the sun and moves it to look at it though different angles.
"I thought so, you see this disk right here?" He asks pointing at a failure disk hidden in the card.
"Yeah, what is it?" Blossom asks looking at where he was pointing.
"It's a surveillance device, I found one just like it in the card Honeydew gave me." Dexter says explaining what he disk is.
Blossom takes the card back from him and rips it in half then looks at Dexter and smiles.
"Spying on a minor is not cool guys." She yells as she threw the peace of the cards at the men. She put enough force behind the throw to hit the two agents in the back and cause them to stumble forward.
"That should teach them." She says smiling at Dexter as she sat back down.
"I hope I just didn't get my girlfriend added to the government's watch list." Dexter says as he sat back down himself.
"I doubt it, that would require them telling their CO's that they didn't know who I am and they got their pants scared off by a teenager." Blossom says picking her cup of ice cream back up.
Dexter lets out a sinker as he picked up his own ice cream cup. "That would be funny to hear." He says eating a spoon full of ice cream.
Having a girlfriend cut out a lot of Dexter's free time he used to use to work on his projects but he didn't care, he was with Blossom and was happy to be with her over working on the electromagnetic handcuffs Buttercup had giving him the idea of. He was still working on them, but the process was almost at a grinding halt.
Around a week later Blossom invited Dexter to come over to her house after school to watch one of her all-time favorite movies.
"Sure, what movie?" Dexter says as they walked down the hall of the second floor of the school holding hands.
"It's called Princess Mononoke." Blossom says happy that he wants to see her favorite movie.
"I've never heard of that one before." He says as he held the class room door open for her.
"I'm sure you will like it." She says as they walked into the classroom.
When they reached their home Bubbles and Buttercup told Dexter and Blossom that they will leave them alone and will be in their room. Both Buttercup and Bubbles knew how much Blossom loved this movie and knew it was best to not disturb her when she watched it.
After Blossom had put the disk into the player she sat down on the couch next to Dexter and cuddled up against him as he put his arm around him.
"Ready?" She asks looking up at him.
"Ready." He says and she hit the play button on the remote.
She hadn't told him that it was an Anime movie so he wasn't sure what to think at first. He's never seen a full length Anime movie before and quickly lost the plot of the movie, But Blossom liked it so he did his best to enjoy it. He did liked the art style and by the end of the movie he was starting to getting into the story and wondered what would happen if the Forest Spirit didn't get its head back.
"So did you like it?" Blossom asks sitting up as the credits start rolling.
"I did, thank you for showing it to me." He says as she smiles at him.
Blossom was happy that he likes the movie. "I love a lot of the Studio Ghibli movies." She says as she got up off the couch to put the disk away.
"You'll have to show me more of them then." He says as the front door opens.
"Hello Professor." Blossom says greeting her father as he walked past the living room.
"Hello Blossom, and Dexter." The Professor says stopping in the doorway of the living room.
"Good afternoon sir." Dexter says standing up from the couch.
"Blossom would you be so kind as to start making dinner? I need to take care of a few things down stairs real quick beforehand, Dexter will you be staying?" The Professor asks as Blossom adds the disk case to the shelf it came from.
"If it's no inconvenience." Dexter says to The Professor as Blossom smiles at him.
"None at all Dexter, you're over all the time anyways." The Professor says waving at Dexter. "I'll tell your sisters to come down and help you and I will be up shortly." He says walking out of the doorway to climb the stairs.
"Yes Professor." Blossom says to her father as he walked out of site.
"Why do you call you father Professor?" Dexter asks as he followed Blossom into the kitchen.
"It was a silly little nickname my sisters and I gave him when we were kids and it just stuck." She says explaining the reason for the girls calling their father The Professor.
"It doesn't seem silly to me." He says as they enter the kitchen.
When Bubbles and Buttercup came down to help their sister they gave Dexter a stack of plates and silverware and asked him to set the table.
Dexter didn't mind helping them with setting the table for dinner, so he took the plates and silverware into the dining room and found The Professor sitting at the table reading the newspaper.
"Thank you for helping the girls with setting the table Dexter." The Professor says looking up from the paper.
"I don't mind helping your daughters." Dexter says as he set the plates down in their places.
"You're a good friend to them Dexter." The Professor says as he folded up the newspaper.
"I like being their friend, they are all really nice and I'm glad to have met them." Dexter says as he starts setting out the silverware.
"And I'm happy that Blossom found you as well Dexter." The Professor says smiling at him.
"I-I'm not sure what you mean sir." Dexter says feeling a little embarrassed over the way the conversation he was having with his girlfriend's father is going.
"You a good kid Dexter, and Blossom seems really happy with you." The Professor says his smile grows as Dexter's face turned red.
"You two remind me of their mother and I when we were younger. We met in high school ourselves when we were seventeen too. I used to get so caught up in my work that I would forget to eat, but there Rose would be with some fast food and a plan to get me out of the lab." The Professor says looking away from Dexter getting lost in his memories.
"From what Blossom has told me, she seemed like a nice lady and a brilliant scientist." Dexter says as The Professor continued to reminisce about his past.
"She was, she really was…" The Professor says a tear forming in his eye. "Excuse me Dexter, I'm going to go check on the girls. Make sure they aren't burning anything." He says standing up from the table and walking into the kitchen.
As The Professor walked out of the room Dexter guessed that The Professor still was deeply in love with his wife despite her being gone for seventeen years. 'I guess she was the only woman for him.' He thinks as he puts down the last piece of silverware.
A few weeks later Dexter was out in Townsville with Blossom enjoying some coffee, once again Dexter had gotten a cup of Mocha and Blossom had gotten a Latte.
"I guess I'm partly to blame for your liking coffee now aren't I?" Blossom asks as Dexter held the door to the coffee shop open for her.
"I'm not complaining, I like this stuff." Dexter says as he followed Blossom out the door.
"I should take some pride in the fact that I'm getting you to act like a normal teenager." She says as they join hands and start walking down the street.
"Both of us are anything but normal teenagers." He says smiling at her.
"Isn't that the truth." She says smiling back at him.
While they were walking down the street they hear an inhuman scream.
"What the heck was that?" Dexter asks looking off towards the city where the scream came from.
"Trouble." Blossom says looking towards the where the scream came from as well.
Hearing another scream Blossom jumps into the air and sees a green three story tall monster marching down the street kicking at cars.
Looking the creature over Blossom makes a quick note of it: it has a row of spikes going down its back from the base of its head to the end of its tail, sharp claws at the end of each of its four fingers on both hands and a lizard like head.
"Bubbles, Buttercup." She says into her communicator contacting her sisters.
"Yes Blossom." She hears Buttercups voice through the communicator.
"We got a level four monster in midtown by the corner of Fifth and Jackson, I'm going to engage get here soon." Blossom says back to her sister.
"Were on our way, be careful." Buttercup says as Blossom fly's at the monster.
Again watching Blossom fight Dexter felt powerless to help her, all he could do was stand there and watch his girlfriend fight the monster that had appeared. And it was giving her a run for her money.
The monster wasn't as strong as Blossom, but it made up for that with its speed. Blossom was just barely dodging its swings at her and she wasn't getting many good punches in on it. She had yet to use her eye lasers because it drains her and she needs to make her shots count.
Dexter notices Blossoms struggle against the monster. 'She needs some form of distraction for that thing.' He thinks as Blossom dodges a swing from the monster.
Looking around Dexter spots a mirror that was broken off of a car by the monster. He looks at the mirror and then up at the monster and sees the sun behind it and then smiles as he gets an idea. He grabs the mirror off the ground and holds it up at to the sun catching the light in the mirror and bouncing it at the monster. Slowly Dexter moves the reflection of light up to the monsters head and carefully he gets the light into the eye of the monster.
When the light hits the monsters eye it stops swiping at Blossom and try's to knock away the light from its eye, but Dexter kept it on him.
Blossom sees Dexter shining the light into the monster's eyes and she takes advantage of the distraction. She fly's down and then up to deliver a strong uppercut punch to the monster causing it to stumble backwards. As it stumbled Blossom fires a laser blast at its chest causing it to fall onto its back.
When the monster hits the ground it fades out of existence surprising Dexter. "Does that happen often?" He asks as Blossom lands next to him.
"It does, and my sisters and I don't know who sends them or for why." She says looking at where the monster had fallen.
What Dexter and Blossom didn't know was that in a cave deep underground the monster was screaming as the one who summoned it to this demotion banished back.
"Another failed attempt." A high pitch voice says and the monster diapered in a cloud of smoke.
"Thank you for your help Dexter." Blossom says kissing Dexter on the cheek thanking him for his help.
"You're welcome Blossom." Dexter says as Blossom hugs him and he returns the hug.
"Where's the monster?" Buttercup asks as Bubbles and her land next to Blossom and Dexter.
"We took care of it already." Blossom says answering her sisters.
"We? As in Dexter helped?" Buttercup asks wanting clarification on what her sister had said.
"Yes he did." Blossom says taking Dexter's hand with hers as smiled at him.
"Do you want to be a hero too Dexter?" Bubbles asks as Blossoms laces her fingers with Dexter's and pulls him closer to herself with their joined hands.
"I don't want to be on your level of a hero, I just want to be useful to the world." Dexter says as he gave Blossoms hand a gentle squeeze.
"You've been a big help to us Dexter." Bubbles says her cheerful smile appearing on her face.
"And that make you useful to the world." Buttercup says giving Dexter a playful tap in the shoulder with just enough force to make him take a step back.
That night Dexter was eating dinner with his family having already said goodbye to Blossom and her sisters. His mother had made another stew and like always it was amazing cooking.
"So Dexter, how's things going with your girlfriend?" Dee Dee asks as she eats a spoon full of stew.
"What's this Dexter? You have a girlfriend?" Dad asks looking over at his son.
"Yeah, he's been going out with the neighbor for a while now." Dee Dee says answering her father's question for Dexter.
"Oh really? Which one dear?" Mom asks happy to hear that her son has a girlfriend.
"Blossom." Dexter tells her feeling a little embarrassed talking about this with his parents.
"Good for you Dexter." Dad says patting Dexter on the back proud of his son
"We should have her over for dinner one of these days." Mom says wanting to meet her sons girlfriend.
"That's a good idea dear." Dad says agreeing with his wife.
"Yeah Dexter, we should have your girlfriend over for dinner." Dee Dee says agreeing with Mom and Dad.
With both his parents and Dee Dee wanting to invite Blossom over Dexter knew there was no point in trying argue the topic. "Ok." He says in defeat.
"Good, the next time you see her ask her when would be a good night for her. And make sure it isn't a day you are working." Mom tells him already making plans inside her head as what to cook.
The next day as Dexter rode the bus to school with Blossom next to him, holding hands of course, and with Bubbles and Buttercup in the seat behind them.
"So my mother wants me to ask if you'd like to come over for dinner." Dexter says to Blossom as the bus drives down the street towards their school.
"Really? I'd love to come over." Blossom says smiling at him.
"Ok, how is this Wednesday for you?" He asks thinking over his work schedule.
"That works for me." She says liking the idea of going over to his house for dinner.
"Meeting his folks? That s big step Blossom." Buttercup says leaning over the seat in front of her.
"I've met his parents already, remember the barbeque his family threw?" Blossom says looking up at her sister leaning on the seat back.
"Yeah, but that was before we were even friends. Now you guys are an item and that's a whole different kind of meeting his parents." Buttercup says pointing out a valid point.
"I don't think it's that big of a deal." Blossom says shrugging her shoulder.
Dexter as well didn't think it was a big deal that Blossom would meet his parents again as his girlfriend, he was just worried about them embarrassing him or freaking out if they found out Blossom had powers. So when the day came he made sure Dee Dee promised to not mention anything about Blossom and her sisters having powers before he left for school Wednesday.
"See you in a few hours." Blossom says as she kissed Dexter goodbye at the path leading up to her house.
"See you then." Dexter says as they let go of each other.
"Bye Dexter." Bubbles says waving as her and Buttercup walk into the house
"Bye." Dexter says waving back to the sister. "Good bye Blossom." He says smiling at his girlfriend.
She gives him a quick kiss on the cheek before she turned to follow her sisters into the house.
Blossom wasn't nervous about going over to dinner but as she looked through her clothes in the closet after a shower trying to find something to wear she started to feel some anxieties.
"What to wear what to wear… what to wear." She says as she shuffled hangers around in the closet.
"Whatever you choose, don't wear your usual clothes." Buttercup says walking into the room.
"What's wrong with my vest and skirt? I like my vest and skirt." Blossom says turning around to look at her sister.
"Nothing wrong with it, just that this is a once ever event and you are going to want to look your best." Buttercup says jumping up onto her bed.
"Ok, so what like the black dress?" Blossom asks pulling a knee length black dress out of the closet.
"Na Black isn't you Blossom. Wear your pink dress with the black belt and some white stockings." Bubbles says walking into the room carrying a plate of cookies and a glass of milk.
"This thing? But I haven't worn it in almost a year." Blossom says pulling the dress Bubbles was talking about out of the closet. Blossom used to love her pink dress and this was actually the third one she has gotten having grown out of the previous two. But since their sixteenth birthday last year she had grown out of wearing it all the time.
"Yes that one, it's just the right amount of formal." Bubbles says setting the plate of cookies down on their desk.
Blossom looks at the dress in her hands as nostalgia fills her. "Yeah it is a nice dress." She says and hangs the dress on the closet door so she could change.
After putting on her old dress Blossom sat down at the vanity mirror. "Should I wear some makeup?" She asks looking at her sisters on their beds in the reflection in the mirror.
"Na." Buttercup says pulling one of her earbuds out of her ear.
"Yeah it's just dinner. No need to go to the nines." Bubbles says looking up from a manga book she was reading.
Her sisters were right, Blossom never needed makeup before. So she spends the next few minutes brushing her hair to make it shine.
After putting her red bow into her hair she turns around to her sister and stands up off the stool. "What do you think?" She asks her sisters wanting their options on how she looked.
"Smoking." Buttercup says grinning at her sister.
"Beautiful as always sis." Bubbles adds giving her sister a proper compliment.
"Thanks." Blossom says to her sisters as she walked over to her own bed to put on her shoes. As she sat down and reached for her shoes, but she stopped just as she was about to touch them.
"Humm." She says to herself as she got off her bend and got onto her knees and reached under her bed looking for a box she had kicked under there months ago.
"Ah ha." She says pulling a shoe box out from under her bed.
"What are you doing?" Buttercup asks looking down from her bed.
"I thought I should wear some shoes that are a more appropriate." Blossom says as she sat back down on her bed and opens the box. Inside the box is a pair of black dress shoes with a quarter inch heel and a strap across the top held in place with a gold buckle.
After putting on her dress shoes Blossom stands in front of the mirror on the back of the room door and looks herself over. Turning from side to side she admires her looks in the mirror, happy with how she looks she turns to her sisters and says; "I'll see you guys later." As she opens the door.
"Bye Blossom, have fun." Bubbles says waving at her sister.
"Later." Buttercup says not looking at her sister.
*Ding dong* The doorbell rings.
"I got it." Dee Dee says running for the door.
"Dee Dee it's probably Blossom, so don't you think you should let your brother answer the door?" Mom asks stopping Dee Dee feet from the door.
"Ok mom." Dee Dee says walking back into the kitchen from where she had ran to the door from.
Dexter had been sitting on the couch in the living room trying to read a book but he couldn't focus on the page in front of him. He had grown some anxieties over Blossom coming over, he had already made sure Dee Dee knew to not say anything about Blossoms powers and only left the chance of his parents embarrassing him, which is bound to happen knowing his mother and father.
When he had heard the doorbell ring he had jumped dropping his book and had opted to leave it on the floor when Dee Dee had yelled she was going to get the door in hopes that he could stop her in time.
'Thank you Mother.' He thinks as he walks into the entryway watching Dee Dee sulk back into the kitchen.
He opens the door and like his mother had guessed it was Blossom at the door.
"Hi Dexter." Blossom says as Dexter opened the door.
"Hello Blossom, you look quite lovely." Dexter says admiring Blossoms dress.
"Thanks, you look sharp, as always." She says returning the compliment.
"Thanks, Father told me to look nice for tonight." He says as he stepped aside to let Blossom into the house. He had chosen to wear a white dress shirt like always but had left his lab coat and gloves in his room and had put on his only other tie which was a black one.
Closing the door after Blossom had entered the house he says to her; "Listen, my parents still don't know about your gifts. I had already told Dee Dee not to bring anything about them up."
"You think they wouldn't like me if they knew I have powers?" Blossom asks worried that his parents might turn out to be bigots like Morbucks.
"No I think they'd like you regardless, I just think their heads would explode from trying to comprehend the idea." He says making a little joke at his parents expense.
His joke made Blossom let out a little laugh. "So are you going to introduce us to your lady friend?" Dad asks walking out of the living room.
"Father, you remember Blossom." Dexter says reintroducing Blossom to his father.
"It's good to see you again Blossom." Dad says greeting Blossom.
"It is good to see you again as well sir." Blossom says giving Dexter's father a small bow.
"Dinner is ready." They hear Mom yell from the kitchen.
"Come along you two, time for you to have some of my wife's amazing cooking Blossom." Dad says ushering Dexter and Blossom into the kitchen.
They walk through the kitchen and into the dining room to find Dee Dee and Dexter's mother already seated at the table.
"Hi Blossom." Dee Dee says happy to see her again.
"Hello Blossom dear, it's nice to see you again." Mom says as she got up to greet Blossom.
"Hello Dee Dee." Blossom says as Mom walked over to her. "And it's nice to see you again too Mrs. McPherson." She says as Mom pulls her into a hug.
"Don't you just look beautiful, I had a feeling my boy would fall for you." Mom says letting Blossom go.
"Mother." Dexter says getting embarrassed by what his mother said.
"Just humor your mother son, it's not every day you bring a pretty young girl over." Dad says patting Dexter on the shoulder.
This only added to Dexter's embarrassment from his parents causing his cheeks to turn a little red.
Dee Dee lets out a little laugh at her brother but she didn't add to the embarrassment he was clearly feeling. "I like your Dress." She says complementing Blossom on her dress.
"Thank you Dee Dee, I haven't worn this in a while." Blossom says as Mom and Dad sat down at the table.
Dexter pulls out a chair for Blossom to sit in. "Thank you Dexter." Blossom says to him as he sat down next to her.
"You're welcome." He says as Dad started to cut the roast Mom had made for dinner.
"This is really good Mrs. McPherson." Blossom says as she cut one of the small potatoes she had on her plate to go with her slice of roast.
"Thank you Blossom." Mom says to her then looks over at Dexter and adds; "Your girlfriend is a very polite dinner guest Dexter." Smiling at her son.
"Oh, thank you for inviting me to dinner Mr. and Mrs. McPherson." Blossom says remembering that she needed to thank Dexter's parents for inviting her to dinner.
"We should be the ones thanking you Blossom. Thanks to you and your sisters Dexter doesn't spend all day locked up in his room." Dad says cutting his own dinner.
"Yes it is good to see Dexter out and socializing like he should." Mom adds.
"Dexter has been a lot of fun to get to know." Blossom says smiling at Mom but looking over at Dexter with just her eyes.
"So how's school going for you?" Mom asks making small talk.
"It's going good, Dexter has helped me a lot in our science class." Blossom says answering her question.
"Do you have any hobbies?" Dad asks adding to the small talking.
"I don't really have time for any." Blossom says hoping they don't ask why because she didn't want to try to think of a lie for an answer.
"Are you in any of the after school activities?" Mom asks continuing the questioning of Blossom.
"No, none of the school clubs interest me" Blossom says glad that they didn't question her about her lack of free time.
"I know it's a little early, but have you put any thought into what you want to do after High School? Dexter has already been offered acceptance into several school." Mom asks wanting to know if Blossom has any plans for after graduation.
"Actually, I would like to become a kindergarten teacher." Blossom says revealing her goals for after high school.
Dexter himself didn't know this about Blossom, he honestly thought she would become a full time super hero. But hearing that she wanted to be a teacher showed him that he still had a lot more to learn about her.
"Oh that is a lovely idea Blossom, not many teenagers these days seem to want to teach." Mom says praising Blossom for her desire to become a teacher.
"It was my own kindergarten teacher, Ms. Keane, that was my main influence to become one. She was patient, understanding and very protective of all of us kids, she was a great role model growing up for my sisters and me." Blossom says explaining her reasons for wanting to be a teacher.
"Good bye Blossom, it was wonderful to have you over." Mom says giving her a hug good bye.
"Thank you again for having me over." Blossom says hugging her back.
"You're welcome back over here whenever you want." Mom says letting her go.
"Thank you Mrs. McPherson." Blossom says happy that dinner at Dexter's house went well.
"I'll walk you home Blossom." Dexter says opening the door for his girlfriend.
"Thank you Dexter. Well goodbye everyone, and thank you all for having me over." Blossom says giving Dexter's family a small bow.
"Bye Blossom." Dee Dee says from the doorway into the kitchen.
"Have a good rest of your night." Dad says from his spot next to Mom.
Once outside Dexter lets out a sigh of relief, the night hadn't gone as bad as he thought it would have. But his parents still managed to embarrass him on several occasions.
"Thank you for inviting me to dinner Dexter." Blossom says as they walk away from his house.
"You're welcome Blossom, tonight wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." He says as they join hands.
"Your family is that bad, they're just a little different than you. And they clearly care about you Dexter." She says giving him a smile.
"Oh I care for them too, I just wonder sometimes if I was swapped at birth." He says smiling back at her joking.
Blossom lets out a laugh and says; "If that's the case, then I owe that doctor a big thank you for bringing you into my life."
"I was joking, I know they are my biological family and I wouldn't trade them for any other." Dexter says as they reach her front door.
"I know, but I am really happy that you came into my life." Blossom says turning to face Dexter.
"I'm happy to have you in mine too." He says as they hug each other.
They hold each other tight letting their affection for each other wash over themselves.
After a while they lessen their hold on each other and Blossom leans into him and kisses him.
"Good night Dexter." Blossom says after they break the kiss.
"Good night to you too Blossom." He says caressing her cheek with his hand.
Blossom closes her eyes and leans into his hand enjoying his touch.
As he gently touches her cheek he leans down and kisses her again. "You really are an amazing girl Blossom." He says after the kiss.
"Your amazing too Dexter." She says as she opened her eyes.
AN: I hope this long chapter makes up for the past two being a bit short. It has a lot of time jumping but I didn't want to write a bunch of fluff filler chapters of Dexter and Blossom hanging out doing nothing, also the climax of the story is coming and I'm excited for the ending I have planed.
