Author Note: After I reviewed the story, I realized that I missed a chapter. So this is an old chapter but it starts from chapter 20 and last for two chapters about the fight with Bell and Buttercup.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Bubbles and Boomer venture down the aisle of steps and spot two empty seats in the front row since they wanted to splashed by the Orcas' or the Dolphins'.
They peered over to their left and right and noticed that they were among eagered children, who wanted to get wet.
"No matter how big you get, you can't help but to have a inner child." Bubbles humors.
She watches the little children along with with their family members, who wants to avoid being doused by water. She then tries to convince their child to move up an additional row or two.
"Those parents' would disagree otherwise." Boomer counters.
They observe some of the parents' succeed in their task while the others had very adamant kids.
"Trust me on this one...after one splash of water in this hot weather, the parents' will be in the pool with the Orcas and the Dolphins." Bubbles conveys while they continue to watch people file in to the small stadium seats.
"So did you enjoy the lion and the lion tamer?" He asks about her feelings on the show. She seemed to be a little upset throughout the entire duration of the show.
"For entertainment purposes, it was okay. But since I'm a huge animal lover, I really didn't like the whip part. Other than that, the lion was so well behaved." She reveals her true feelings about the show that they previously attended.
"If you felt uncomfortable, we could have left. It wasn't much of a performance to me." Boomer reasons with her.
The sound of a male announcer could be heard through the speakers as he broadcasted that show time was in thirteen seconds.
"I mean I thought you liked it so I endured it but its okay though. This zoo takes really good care of their animals from what I heard and saw today." Bubbles responds with a genuine smile on her face when she speaks to him.
'I really don't deserve this kind of attention from her. Why am I constantly trying to be in her good graces?'
"Hey look Boomer, the show is about to start!" She voices, which brings Boomer out of his thoughts when she touches his arm.
He observes her point at a young woman with black hair in a ponytail with an orange and black wetsuit that had the park insignia above on the right chest.
The young woman wears a headset in her ear with a wide happy grin that seem to fit her round heart shape face, "Hello! My name is Melanie! Are you ready to have fun and get wet?"
"Yeah!" The crowd, specifically the children, proclaims as a small door shifts to the left. Two gray creatures with a fin and a long mouth emerges from the darkness.
"Welcome Donny and his good friend Dolly!" The woman, name Melanie, shouts as the dolphins swim in a circle together.
They then peeled away from each other half of the way, swam to the opposite ends of the pool, curved around and headed towards each other.
"They're going to crash!" One of the children screeches before Donny and Dolly leap out of the water and bypass each other in the air.
That trick left the kids in awe and some were stunned because they could not believe what just happened before their very eyes. How can those two dolphins do that?
"I wonder what else they might do?" Boomer inquires to Bubbles, who shakes her head in agreement to what he says.

Blossom and Brick travel through the mall before they decide to take a break because at first they did not have time to take a break.
"Do you have any clue about what your sister transformed to at Bell's party?" He inquires. He sat upward in the metal-wired chair when he asked her the question.
She releases a breath, glances to her left and faces Brick again. He speaks, "No, not even remotely close but I did find something weird though."
"Buttercup and Bell fought each other with those cushioned lance. Buttercup won and Bell pushed her face forward in the pool and after that she changed." Brick divulges.
He peers over at what she stares at but sees nothing there.
"That's the whole thing! I think Buttercup was severely irritated so she metamorphosed in to that thing that we saw. I wonder if Bubbles and I or you and your brothers' have the ability to transpose like she did." Blossom renders her opinion from the information she was able to acquire and obtain.
"If she can do it then who knows what we are capable of. But I do wonder…" She cuts Brick off, "what emotions could trigger our transformations?"
"Are you scared that you might be able to transform into what Buttercup did?" Brick queries when he notices that she edges away from the question.
It was odd because Blossom just asked him that exact same question he asked her but in a more reserved tone.
"No not really. If the situation calls for it then I would want to be able to protect the people that are close to my heart. Surely, you can agree with that even without logic." Brick conveys her question with no hesitation before she scoops out her environment once again.
He observed her actions change in front of him and wondered if the reason why she had a wall up the entire time because she was with him.
"You know what...you don't have to answer that question." Brick interjects.
"After all, you've been hiding behind a wall every since you saw me." He counters after he witnesses her reaction from when he asks her his previous question.

"So what else do you want to do today, Butter?" Butch poses to Buttercup. She seemed to have eased up from being borderline irritated to back to her regular self.
Buttercup halts in the middle of her stride as if something captures her awareness. She picks up her tempo before she recognizes Butch walk alongside of her.
"Butch, what happened at Bell's pool party the other day?"
"You must have party hard if you can't remember what you did the other day…" Butch quips with the hope to divert her attention away from the subject.
He watches her stop once again except this time, she stares at him dead in the face along with a grave expression.
"Give me my skateboard, Butch! It's about time I head home." Buttercup suddenly declares.
Butch spins in her direction to see her outstretch arm toward her skateboard with a solemn expression evident on her face.
"That is if you really want to go home? I can't hold you against your will since you did actually stay with me the entire time for our date. So, I don't see why you can't go." He regards.
Butch agreed that it would be wise if she did head home. Since she was being such a good sport, he hands over her green skateboard.
The look of shock passes across her face when she feels her board against the palm of her hands.
Buttercup briefly hesitates before she drops the board on to the ground. She maintains her concentration on Butch's face.
The slightest twitch from his face would have given him away but his face remained stoic and unreadable to her.
Before Buttercup was about to kick off on her right leg, she overhears Butch tells her something, "I will see you at school tomorrow, Butter."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, same here." She retorts with a huff.
Buttercup wonders why she could not figure out why she stays with him the entire day.
It was a complicated problem to an enigma in which she tried to work from different angles but still there was no answer.
It was ironic to Butch that he wanted to find a way to get stronger while Buttercup was the one to find a way to tap in on some hidden power through sheer extreme irritation.
'I wonder what emotion would cause me to change?' He ponders to himself. He then decides that his next priority was to head home once he cast that thought aside.
Someone watches Butch amble away from where him and Buttercup were briefly before she requests for her skateboard.
'She truly doesn't deserve you Butch but just wait and see till tomorrow.' A voice thinks to themselves as they remove themselves from their hiding spot.

"Did you enjoy the zoo?" Boomer asks Bubbles as they trek out of the zoo and back onto the sidewalk of the street.
"Yep! It was a good break from the usual teen age pace of life. Besides, the little kids' enthusiasm just rubbed off on me." She jokes while she loops her arm through his open arm.
"I should take you here more often. Like you said from earlier, you love animals with a passion." He recalls, which unknowingly earns him a brownie point in her book because he actually remembers her interests.
"I'm really glad you took me out today! At first, I was going to just crash at the house until Blossom came back home." Bubbles truthfully admits when she peeks up and beholds the afternoon's sky settles in over Townsville.
"It was really no problem at all. I didn't have anything to do either. Serena probably would have kicked us out of the house while she slept in the whole day." Boomer offers his own excuse.
The two erupted in laughter at the thought of Serena doing the implied suggestion.
"You have a caring family, you know that. Even though, I would hate to be around whenever one of you three are in an argument. I say it would be a no-bars match until either one of you guys become completely tired." She remarks in a serious tone with the latter served as comical relief.
"I guess you can say that but our fights are always broken up by Serena and boy whatever Serena says…we have no other choice but to do it or we'll be in even more trouble." Bubbles listens to Boomer's explanation at how their fights were often broken up.
"You know what Boomer…" She pauses when she glances up at him with her eyes closed and adds, "I really like you. You make things so much fun! You take my mind off of things that I don't want to think about. I appreciate that I have you."
A small blush surfaces on his face after he listens to what she just confessed to him, "The same thing for me…we should do this more often."
"I agree…maybe next time we should bring our family along with us and see how that goes. I can guarantee you that that will be a good time…especially with Buttercup and Butch." Bubbles issues her opinion about a group date with everyone.
"We should do that but later on in the week." Boomer agrees.
For some reason, he suddenly develops the sense that someone watches Bubbles. They had made their way passed the cages.
"Yeah that would be great, Boomerl" Bubbles expresses with visible happiness when she responds to his statement with the same smile at him.
'I can get use to something like this...' The two share similar thoughts with each other.
They mutally decide it was best for them to get back on their side of town via flight.

"What time is it?" Brick queries Blossom as they travel back downstairs to the main floor of the mall.
"It's a quarter till six, why you got something to do?" She inquired about why he asked about what time it is.
"Oh no, its just I wanted to know what time it is that's all." He replies.
The orange head extends his arms out in front of him, lifts them over his head, stretches until he hears a pop and releases a sigh of relief.
"I just remembered, I have to get this project done for class tomorrow…" Blossom speaks. Her voice trails off as if she tries to think of a way to be able to minimize her travel time back home.
"You do know you can fly right?" Brick whispers to her. Honestly from time to time, she would completely forget that she had superpowers.
He observes her fumble around with the bags in her hand as if she searches for something but her bags were in the way.
Brick withdraws the bags from her arms. She then stares at him to see if he was really doing what she thought he was but fails since he adjusts his vision somewhere else.
'I wonder what has gotten in to Brick? All of a sudden, he wants to act nice instead of the arrogant jerk that's he is…' She notes the differences in Brick's personality.
Blossom felt her house keys pressed in her back pocket, produced them and wrapped the cord around her wrist.
"Thank you for holding those for me. It's about time for me to go." She thanks him while she secures her bags from the orange head male.
"Alright then," Brick stated as he transfered her bags back in to her hand.
When their hands brush against each other, an intense spark sensation radiates from their hands that forces their hands apart from.
They glance down at each other's hand and peers up at each other.
Blossom quickly shields her face in order to hide her blush from Brick. She shuffles away from him before she observes her hand, makes out tiny bolts of electricity and attempts to recover from the shock of Brick's touch.
'I wonder what was that?' The two orange haired individuals thought as they view their shaky hands.
