Buttercup treks over to the food table, scopes out the choices and plucks a finger sandwich that was on a large dish with an array of foods.
'At least that spoiled brat knows how to treat her guest to some food.' She inwardly admits while she chews on the sandwich until someone roughly bumps into her.
Buttercup swivels her head and recognizes that it was none other than Princess Morbucks.
"Right when I was starting to have fun at the party, I stumbled across this gorilla that escaped the zoo." Princess hackles. Buttercup opts to just avoid the pampered red head brat.
'I wonder where the white hair spoiled brat is?' She was pondering to herself after polishing off the sandwich.
Buttercup overhears "oohs" and "aahs" from her classmates at the sight of women clad in grass skirts, coconut bras and large brightly colore headpieces adore their heads.
They perform a three minute traditional hula dance that left the crowd in awe. The women parted down the middle to reveal four well toned men, who toted a wooden rickshaw. The person who waves at the people was none other than the party girl herself, Bell.
'So the guest of honor arrives...' She inwardly announces as she surveys the platinum blonde's appearance.
Bell had a sarong wrapped around her waist in order to conceal that rips in her swimsuit. The sight of the object produces a smile on her face.
The men tread over to the stage where the band plays and positions the rickshaw so she could step out on the stage.
Bell then signals to the lead singer of the band to hand over the microphone.
"I am so glad that you all made it to my party! I hope you're enjoying yourselves." She addresses the crowd in a fake cheery tone.
The crowd could care less about her announcement as they cheered her on right before they resumed their previous action.
Buttercup decides to quench her thrist, grasps a clear plastic cup, brings it to her lips, and sips on it.
Blossom unexpectedly storms right by her without so much as a word to her.
'I wonder what's wrong with Blossom?' She asks herself.
The answer to her question trails right behind her as he searches around when she sips her drink.
"I never thought you would be the bikini type," A masculine voice compliments her. The raven hair teen then glances upward and recognizes that Joe was in front of her.
"I never thought you would be the ballerina football player." Buttercup repeats and adjusts her sentence to remind him that she knows about his precious white secret.
"...looks like I'm busted on that part but you know, you don't have to use that against me." He voices as he tries to wave it off.
"...and if I don't then you would get the wrong idea of me really buying into liking you. I want to stop any of those thoughts right now." She alleges with the rim of her cup against her lips.
"So no interest at all…" Joe states as she nods her head a "no".
"Hm...it seems as if I will have to try harder." He claims before she sips for her drink and thinks, 'Some people just don't get the memo.'
"Well good luck on that because your fantasy isn't going to happen anytime soon." Buttercup asserts.
'What do I have to do to get the message through his thick skull?' She inwardly screams.
The raven head teen had pulled out all of the stops to prevent him from catching any feelings for her.
"You'd be surprised at how many people like your bad side. We never seen a tough chick like you in a while." Joe explains, which causes her to slightly choke on her drink.
Fortunately for her, he did not see her reaction to his statement.
"Finally, someone who actually agrees with me! We, boys, like unattainable girls, Butter." Anotherfamiliar masculine voice chimes in on her conversation with Joe.
Her mind was instantly registering the identity of the voice and determine it as irritating without even breaking eye contact with him.
"Who are you?" Joe snaps at the man, who addresses Buttercup by a nickname and she was not angry either.
"The name's Butch. I can see why you're chasing this girl but…" Butch introduces himself before Bell springs up at his side.
"I see you made it to my party! Come on let's dance." She suggests while she drags an unwilling Butch away from Buttercup and Joe.
"So troublesome," Buttercup mutters under her breath after she witnesses the interaction between Bell and Butch.
"Anyway, I need to go find my sister. She looked upset about something." She casually comments as she tosses him her now empty cup and walks off.
"Oh…I wonder who he is to Buttercup.' Joe wants to know while he crushes the cup in his grasps.

Bubbles spots the platinum blonde among the crowd and chooses to show her apperication for her grand entrance.
She covers the distance that separates her from Bell, waits until she captures her focus, and says, "Hey Bell, that was an amazing entrance!"
"Thank you! You know Daddy always wants the best for me so it was really no big deal." Bell simply brushes off the blonde's compliment.
She focuses all of her attention on Butch, who makes an effort to utter a "Help me" to Bubbles. Yet, it went unnoticed by the blonde.
"So Shaw, you enjoying my party so far?" Bell inquires while she vies to rub her body up against him. He manages to dodge each one of her attempts.
"Yeah, I'm surprised that your backyard is this huge." Butch or Shaw feigns interest but he could not place his finger on why this girl was crazy for him.
"This is nothing compared to my villa. It's twice as big! Maybe you can visit it when its summertime." She was offering a lot to him even though it was their first time holding an actual conversation.
"I will keep that in my options during the summer." He conveys while he ponders on how anything could possibly be bigger than the location they were at now.
"I will definitely keep you in my plans." Bells informs him before her Barbies surrounds him, which makes him uncomfortable.
"I, uhm, got to go to the bathroom...if you don't mind." Butch excuses himself from the group before she could even show him where it is.
He retreats in the massive crowd of Pokey Oaks High school.
"Girls," She snaps her hand and they encompass her, "Make sure my guest of honor doesn't get sidetrack will you?"

Blossom was somewhere in an unknown area. However, she was certain that she was still inside of Bell's mansion even though nobody was there with her.
'So how did I end up down here again?' The orange hair teen asks herself as she surverys the foregin enclosure.
Blossom remembered that her anger had gotten the best of her when she had a long argument with Brick over stupid things.
'That idiot! He didn't have to reveal to people the secret I entrusted him with,'
She feels the hard wall against her back and appericates the sturdy support.
Her phobia slowly creeps over her entire body. She searches around and concludes that not even a soul was with her.
'I wonder where I ran off to?' Blossom ponders.
She tries to scope out any familiar object that could jog her memory on how to get back.
Her hand throbs when she recalls how Brick materialized right next to her and dragged her away from Flash, which she greatly appreciated.
'He could have been a little more gentler. He almost yanked my arm out of the socket.'
'I wonder why he looked so serious? On that note, he has been acting like he has something big on his mind.' She deems.
The orange head teen decides that wailing in her fear would be no good. She had to find her way out even if it was by trial and error.
'If he does, I will sink him like the big brute that he is,' Blossom remembered what Brick said as she looked for any windows but to no avail found any.
'Looks like I'm trapped here…I hope someone finds me.' She was assuming as her breathing was starting to shorten and her heartbeat was speeding up.
"Calm down Blossom! Buttercup and Bubbles should be looking for me.' Blossom tries to reassure herself.
The lights, where she was lost, starts to flicker on and off as if she was in a scary thriller movie.
'This can't be good at all.' She thinks before she launches in to a sprint through the long corridor.
After a while, it felt as if she had ran across the surface of a treadmill.
Meanwhile,
Brick races inside of the house and finds himself out of breath. He then thinks, 'She was just in my line of vision! Where did she go thst quickly?'
He spots her red ribbon near a set of steps, jogs over, and picks it up, 'So she must have walked downstairs.'
Brick scoops up her ribbon, stares down the steps and ventures down the set of stairs.

Butch manages to escape the rabid girl's claws when he once again runs in to Buttercup. He examines her bathing suit, which was rather quite revealing but suits her personality.
Just when he was about to walk over, he watches the white hair demon confront her. They seemed to be in the midst of a heated argument.
"Why would I know where that idiot is?" Buttercup shouts at Bell, who merely screams back at her.
"...because everytime I try and talk to him he sneaks off and ends up wherever you are. That's why!"
Bell's face suddenly begins to tingle and swiftly scratches the itch away from her face.
"That sounds like a personal problem to me. But more to the point, I think you are jealous of me." Buttercup eggs her on and Bell falls for the bait.
The crowd's awareness was now on the two as they hope to see two females go at each other. "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Is it a fight you want to see then it is a fight you will get!" Bell broadcasts to the crowd, who response was cheers of happiness.
Some rumbling noise was heard and a red and blue matted pillar surfaced in the middle of the pool.
"Are you ready for a little boxing match Buttercup?" Bell poses to Buttercup. She merely examines the setup and nods her head in agreement.
Butch soon spots his brother Boomer with his arms around Buttercup's sister shoulders, "This should be interesting."
Buttercup was issued a red helmet and a lance with two plush ends on the stick. Bell had chosen the color blue.
They swim to the two platforms with the lance in their clutches and climb up on their respective platforms.
"When I win, don't even refer yourself as the Top of our school anymore." Bell declares as they steady themselves on their platform.
Buttercup could no longer contain her joy, she observes red dots emerge on Bell's face while she prepares herself for the battle.
The sound of the bell echoes through her ears as she gears up for the fight. Bell makes the first move.

'I have been running for probably over a half an hour." Blossom estimated to herself when she felt herself become winded from her run.
'How can she just have this long hallway in her home?" She wonders before she decides to stop and take a break.
The orange head figures that she would need to reserve her energy in case some trick leaps out of nowhere.
'It looks as if they won't be able to find me no time soon, I guess I'm doom.' Blossom concludes after she buries her head in her arms.
The lights flicker on and off again while she scans her location to see if anyone searches for her.
'I hope the lights don't …' but it was too late, the lights went out and darkness clouded her vision. Blossom suddenly feels a cold shiver creep up her spine.
Footsteps echoed off of the walls as Blossom's own heartbeat drowned out the sound. Her phobia of being by herself increased by every second.
"Please someone help me," She desperately wishes. She feels her body shakes, her heartbeat increases to an almost deadly pace, and starts to hyperventilate.
"Someone help please?" Blossom begs before something touches her skin. She instantly leaps forward and could not see a face.
"Pinkie, is that you?" A familiar masculine voice inquires after he touches her.
She knew that it was Brick's voice because of the moniker. She permitted only two people to verbally call her that.
"Brick! I'm so happy to hear your voice but where are you though?" Blossom poses as she wonders if hears things.
"In front of you, hold on," Brick's voice was calming her down and her breathing was returning back to normal.
Brick creates red flames that engulfs his hand, lifts them to his face and waits for Blossom's confirmation.
"See...told you it was me." He jokes when he listens to her giggle a little to herself.
"Thank…" Brick cuts her off, "...before you even thank me, I want to apologize for revealing your secret when I should have kept it to myself. I don't know why I haven't been acting like myself lately but I was angry when I saw you talking to Flash in front of me earlier this afternoon. I usually don't even lose my cool but…" He halts himself since he almost confesses something that he was not ready to do.
The sound of something powering up was ringing in their ears, the lights were flashing on disseminating the darkness that was concealing their eye sight. 'She was crying?'
"Thank you for coming to get me, I owe you one." Blossom thanks him.
She wipes the tears from her face with her left forearm and stands up.
"That you do…" Brick was unaware that his voice had fell on deaf ears when Blossom overheard something whisper her name as if it knew her personally.
"Do you hear that?" She cuts him off as she frantically glances around to see where it is coming from.
"...but I don't hear anything." He says.
Blossom carefully searches around them as if to find some buried treasure.
