Chapter 3
Blossom was so scared she couldn't believe they had such a close call with Bubbles. Buttercup had to fly and get the professor. It took her only thirty minutes. She really pushed herself to get the professor to the dorms in record time. Bubbles was in bed hot, sweaty, and barely coping. He asked Bubbles what happened but all she continued to say was she hit her head. Blossom was getting irritated; this couldn't have happened if she had just hit her head. The professor examined Bubbles, did an EKG on her, checked her temperature, did a head examination, and took her vitals.
"Bubbles sweetie it seems from my evaluation that your emotions got the best of you, and it caused you to shut down."
Bubbles groaned, "Oh is that why I felt sick and fainted?"
Blossom frowned, "Bubbles are you sure you hit your head?"
Bubbles looked at her sisters and the professor and nodded, "Yes, I'm sure."
Blossom looked at Robin who was looking in fear as Bubbles got examined. She knew she was frightened. Blossom sighed as she looked at her sister. Buttercup made sure she was replacing her cold towel whenever it turned warm.
"Professor now would be the perfect time to tell you the Rowdyruffs are going to school here." Blossom stated.
The Professor sighed heavily, "Have you girls been in contact with them?"
Blossom nodded, "Yes the Mayor wants us to keep an eye on them."
Buttercup decided to keep her mouth shut. Blossom frowned as she looked at the professor as he started packing up. Buttercup and Robin were front and center waiting for the professor to give them a diagnosis.
"She'll be fine, she can resume classes. She just needs to control her emotions." Blossom took a deep breath while Buttercup and Robin made sure Bubbles was comfortable. "Now I'll be off. I actually have some things to do here so I'm going to get a taxi."
The Professor hugged his three little girls giving each one of them a kiss on their foreheads. He said his goodbyes to Robin and then left the room. Blossom sighed heavily and looked at Bubbles who was sitting up a little looking at them waiting for someone to start talking.
"Bubbles, do you think you'll be able to watch Boomer today after your classes?" Blossom asked.
Buttercup scowled, "Are you fucking serious Blossom."
Blossom gave Buttercup the death stare, "I am just asking a question, we are still superheroes."
"Our sister just passed out and you're asking if she can watch Boomer what the fuck is wrong with you." Buttercup shouted.
Bubbles took a deep breath, "I will be able to watch him. The Professor said I was fine and it's four in the morning so girls we all need to get some sleep before class."
Blossom agreed and hugged Bubbles one last time and went to her dorm room. Cathy was there as usual on the phone. Blossom rolled her eyes and went to sleep. She only had a couple hours before she had to wake up and get to class. When she woke up she took her usual shower and brushed her teeth. She got dressed in a pair of black leggings and pink short-sleeved blouse. She had her hair in a high ponytail and decided on wearing black flats. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
She had two biology labs and she absolutely loved them. She loved learning about the different species and being able to dissect them. She texted her sisters telling them to meet her at the lake like last time. As usual she was the first one there. Blossom waited for her sisters getting a little pissed off with them for always being late. Bubbles came running fifteen minutes after she arrived. She was wearing a pretty blue and black plaid dress and cute little slippers. She had her hair up in a single high ponytail that really showed that she had the longer and prettiest hair. Blossom frowned a bit as Bubbles went to hug her.
"Hey Blossom."
"Bubbles, where are your pigtails?"
Bubbles sighed, "Oh that well I had to start sewing a panel skirt and waistband and my hair is so long now, so I had to do a single ponytail today. I didn't want my hair to get caught in the sewing machine. Why does it look bad?"
Blossom shrugged, "It looks odd that's all I guess oh well. How has Boomer been?"
"Oh, he's fine when he leaves classes, he kind of just heads back to his dorm room." Bubbles answered.
"Hmm so does Brick which is suspicious."
"Maybe they're masturbating."
The two sisters looked and saw Buttercup walking up to them. She was wearing basketball shorts, a green and yellow cap, and a green tank top and combat boots. Blossom rolled her eyes as she looked at Buttercup's outfit; she will never understand her sense of style. Bubbles ran to Buttercup giving her a tight hug.
"Bubbles your hair have gotten so long." Buttercup stated.
Bubbles blushed, "You think so?"
Buttercup nodded, "Geez Bubs you've surpassed the queen of long perfect hair over here."
Blossom glared hard as Buttercup complimented Bubbles. Bubbles shook her head and asked where they were going to go eat lunch. Blossom turned to Buttercup before even going into the lunch talk.
"Buttercup, where is Butch?"
"Right here actually."
Blossom and Buttercup turned quickly, getting into a defensive stance. The girls looked and saw all three boys standing together. Blossom glared and looked Brick up and down, He was wearing black shorts and a red graphic shirt with black tennis shoes. Blossom thought he was going to stay in his dorm all day. Brick had his backpack around his back and looked a bit irritated.
"I thought you were staying in your dorm." Blossom announced.
Butch chuckled, "Umm we're eighteen-year-old boys why do we have to stay in our dorms?"
Buttercup looked Butch up and down and saw he was wearing a pair of green shorts and a black shirt with tennis shoes. She honestly didn't care where Butch was. She saw him heading to his dorm room when she was going between classes, she assumed he'd leave eventually. He is, as he stated, eighteen after all. Buttercup looked at the time and frowned; she had work at two and it was currently one-thirty. She didn't want to be late on her first day. Buttercup was not in the mood to do the whole standoff, so she decided to take matters in her own hand.
"Butch I'm supposed to be watching you so come on let's go." Butch gave Buttercup a confused look but followed her, nonetheless. She led him back to the dorm entrance and gave him a look. "Look I have work and I don't have time for you. Ms. Bellum told me that I didn't have to worry about you."
Butch crossed his arms, "And your sisters know this as well?"
"I don't feel like hearing Blossom bitch and moan so I'm keeping that to myself." Buttercup stated.
"Hmm fair enough she seems as if she's gotten even more bitchy over the years."
Buttercup snorted, "Yeah pretty much."
Butch checked his phone and sighed, "Well I have work soon as well so I need to get ready."
"Where in the hell are you working?" Buttercup asked genuinely curious.
Butch grinned, "A sports shop in the mall."
Buttercup groaned, "Don't tell me it's the sports shop called academy."
"That's the one."
"Fuck we'll be across from each other then."
"Wait, you're working at that hippie store? Oh my gosh."
Buttercup glared as Butch laughed, having to hold his stomach. He wanted to say more but his laughter stopped him from saying anything. Buttercup rolled her eyes and bolted to her room to change. Her uniform consisted of a pair of tight black pants, black and white tennis shoes, and a sky-colored tie dye shirt with a peace sign on it. She decided to wear her hair down. The interview had gone great. As promised, she was hired on the spot. She was excited and scared at the same time she never had an actual paying job before it was exhilarating. She looked herself over in the mirror and saw nothing wrong with how she looked. Syd did tell her to look her best, so she decided to go into her little black bag and pulled out some black lipstick Syd had bought her. She applied it to her lips oh so delicately and then went back into the bag to retrieve mascara bubbles had bought a long time honestly never thought she would ever need it. She fluffed up her eyelashes and then grabbed her little green backpack and keys. She texted Syd she was on her way and then zipped to her car.
She noticed as she got in that Butch was starting his motorcycle and speeding away. She didn't get a good look at his uniform, but she did enjoy watching that beautiful motorcycle zoom away. She wished she had one. She sped off into traffic rushing to make it on time to her first day. Thankfully the mall was just twenty minutes away from the college. She made it there with ten minutes to spare. The mall was three stories and it had over forty stores. She was lucky to be on the first floor. She was in no mood to be going up and down the stairs plus she was close to the food court. She texted Syd saying she was there and started looking for the shop. It was called Mystical. It was a cute little store. The moment Buttercup walked in she was hit with subtle smells of different incense. They had different sculptures up such as Buddha and Jesus. She saw different types of candles on every shelf and layers upon layers of diffusers for people to smoke. They had crystals and chakra books, tarot cards etc. They had different portraits and canvases; it was so chill when Buttercup entered. Syd ran to Buttercup and happily hugged her.
"Eep, I'm so excited for you to work here. Oh my gosh look at you girl you are so sexy when you wear makeup not saying you're not sexy all the time."
Buttercup blushed, "Shut up."
Syd giggled, "Hey so the boss isn't here but she has your schedule up. You'll be basically working with me and good things too. We're off Friday and Saturday and guess who is going to the party this Friday night?"
Buttercup grinned, "Hell yeah."
Syd chuckled and stretched a bit. Buttercup trained with Syd all day and around four Buttercup was told she could go on break. She was happy the mall wasn't packed since it was a weekday and so she was able to move freely. She was starving and couldn't wait to get something to eat. While walking she got that eerie chill down her back and sighed. She turned and saw Butch walking behind her wearing a pair of black pants and black shirt that said Academy on it. Butch eyes widened when he saw Buttercup turn to him.
"I did not know that was you, you look hot."
Buttercup frowned, "Dude were you creeping or something?"
Butch chuckled, "Eh kind of thought you were someone else."
Buttercup rolled her eyes and continued walking to the food court. Butch sped up following behind Buttercup much to her dismay. She stopped and turned back to Butch he gave a sly smile and stopped and looked at Buttercup.
"Want to have lunch together?"
Buttercup laughed, "The fuck? No, we aren't friends."
"Well, we aren't enemies either." Butch added. Buttercup went to walk off when Butch stopped her, "I'll pay."
Buttercup gave a fake smile and turned to Butch, "Lead with that next time."
Bubbles watched as Buttercup led butch away and sighed. She did not want to be left with Brick, Boomer, and Blossom alone. She wished Buttercup stayed a little longer so she could think of an escape plan. Bubbles looked at Boomer. He was wearing a blue polo shirt with black khaki shorts and black tennis shoes. His hair was in a pulled back ponytail, and it actually looked good on him. Bubbles turned to Blossom and watched as she stared ice daggers at Brick. Bubbles was feeling uncomfortable and just wanted to leave.
("Bubbles umm can we talk?")
Bubbles nodded, "Blossom can understand Mandarin."
"And what would you two need to talk about?" Blossom asked, still watching Brick.
Boomer frowned and looked Bubbles in the eye, ("We just need to talk, and I can see you are getting uncomfortable.")
Bubbles had to hold in her laughter as Blossom tried to decipher the dead language Coptic. Bubbles nodded and turned to Blossom saying she and Boomer were going to discuss their schedules so it's easier for her to watch him. Blossom nodded and so Boomer and Bubbles flew off going to a secluded area in the corner where a bench was. There were birds and trees surrounding the bench. It was nice. Bubbles landed and followed Boomer to the bench. She sat at the very end of the bench and Bommer was sitting opposite of her. It was silent for a bit, but Bubbles decided to break it.
"How do you know all those languages?" Bubbles asked.
Boomer smiled, "How do you know all those languages? From what I remember, you can speak fluently in Spanish, Japanese and speak to animals."
"Well, I had to learn more. Blossom found out I was fluent in those two languages and learned I was studying Mandarin and she wanted to be fluent, so I learned every language out there dead and relevant. Took me three years." Bubbles answered.
Boomer chuckled, "Geez you girls haven't changed much. Blossom is still a bitch-"
"Hey!" Bubbles interrupted.
Boomer shrugged, "Just being honest. She has become a bitch we can tell Buttercup has become a bit more rebellious and you are still that scared little girl in between your sisters arguing."
Bubbles frowned, "How can you speak all those languages?"
"Comes naturally, I can't explain it. Umm how are you since last night? I'm sorry I scared you."
"No, I'm sorry I overreacted. Thank you for checking up on me. My sisters don't know anything and Robin has been sworn to secrecy. I've noticed you and your brothers have changed." Bubbles spoke.
Boomer gave a small smile, "Well we've been through a lot. Trust me we aren't a threat anymore, we've grown up."
Bubbles sighed, "Blossom said we have to watch you."
Boomer frowned and looked at his phone. Bubbles noticed Boomer made sure the phone wasn't in sight where she could even glance at it. Boomer stood up causing Bubbles to stand up as well.
"Umm Bubbles I have to go."
"Where are you going?"
Boomer turned and smiled and opened his backpack and pulled out pen and paper. He wrote down a number and words with super-fast speed. He gave it to Bubbles and flew off. Bubbles looked as he flew off and read the note. It was his number and a note. Bubbles couldn't help but smile at the note. 'I like your hair. By the way, it's beautiful.' Bubbles touched her hair unknowingly. She flew to her dorm where she saw Robin smiling and giving her a knowing look. Bubbles sat down in her bed and waited for Robin to tell her what was happening.
"I got us job interviews at this boutique that was just built. They are hiring urgently plus they are building other boutiques around the one that's hiring." Robin announced.
Bubbles cheered, "Omg I'm so excited."
"I know, come on, get ready, we have to be there in less than an hour."
Bubbles scrambled around and looked for her makeup bag, Robin grabbed her makeup bag as well and started to apply a decent amount on her face. While applying her mascara Bubbles heard her phone go off. Robin glared as she heard Bubbles ringtone. It was the Joji song 'In the Dark.'
"Umm I thought you were over Kevin."
Bubbles rolled her eyes, "I am but I can still like the song." She answered her phone without looking at the caller ID, "Hello this is Bubbles."
"Bubbles, where is Boomer are you keeping an eye on him?"
Bubbles had to hold in her sigh as she heard Blossom ask about Boomer's location.
"Hey Blossom last I checked he was headed to the dorms, but I have exciting news! Robin and I have job interviews!" Bubbles exclaimed.
Bubbles heard Blossom sigh on the other end of the phone, "Bubbles I'm sorry but you can't have a job, our job is to keep Townsville safe from evil. The boys are evil."
Bubbles sighed heavily, "Of course." She hung up and turned to Robin. "She said my main priority is to watch the boys."
Robin huffed, "No fuck this! I'm calling Buttercup."
Bubbles gave Robin a confusing look as she called Buttercup. Bubbles used her super hearing to listen to the conversation.
"Buttercup Bubbles and I have an interview in less than an hour and Blossom called, basically saying she can't go and will have to focus on watching the boys."
"What? Look, she can go to the interview with you. I'm sure she can hear me so listen Bubbles don't tell Blossom this, but I talked to and she said we don't have to watch them. I have a job here at the mall, unfortunately Butch is working here but it's whatever. Again, Bubbles do not tell Blossom."
Bubbles nodded, "I promise I won't."
Robin thanked Buttercup and hung up and smiled at Bubbles. Bubbles grinned and went to finish applying her makeup.
Blossom was in her dorm studying for her next exam and enjoying her time alone. Cathy was gone and she had some time to relax. Brick was in his dorm and Blossom was in heaven. She was wondering what her sisters were doing. She felt bad about Bubbles not being able to go to the job interview, but her sisters had to understand that they were heroes first and foremost. Blossom had ordered herself a salad and was enjoying background music. She checked her phone and saw that her lab partner texted her. She was a sweet girl and didn't talk much. Her name was Susan Himes. She was a tall brunette with glasses and super tan skin. She was super smart and understood a lot of stuff that Blossom said. Susan wanted to meet at the library to go studying.
She checked the time and saw it was hitting four in the evening. She decided to go. She grabbed a pair of jeans and a pretty striped, pink shirt and cute pink flip flops. She grabbed her phone, backpack, and wallet. She looked herself over and put her hair up in a quick messy bun and went to the library. She decided to fly to the library because she was tired of walking. The library always made Blossom smile. She loved to learn new things and she felt Susan felt the same. When she got to the library, she went to the coffee shop and ordered herself a nice hot cup of coffee. While waiting she felt a familiar eerie chill up her spine and looked around. And there he was in the science section. Blossom scowled and stormed over to Brick ready to tear him apart. She stopped when she saw Susan standing next to him sighing and asking him questions. Blossom sped over to them separating them quickly glaring daggers at Brick.
"Stay away from her."
Brick frowned and looked at Susan, "Please don't tell me she's your lab partner?"
Susan turned red, "I thought since we're like the smartest people in our school we'd want to make a study group."
Blossom scoffed, "Oh please he can't be one of the smartest he's not even slightly above average."
"Why are you such a bitch!" Brick shouted, causing some people to look at him, "I swear I haven't done anything to you and here you are being a bitch. Look I'll see you later Susan if you still want to study just let me know."
With that he stormed off leaving Blossom and Susan alone. Blossom glared as she watched him leave and turned to Susan and sighed.
"I'm sorry Susan." Blossom apologized.
Susan shook her head, "No you're fine I apologize I should have told you. Do you still want to study?"
Blossom nodded, "Of course."
Susan and Blossom studied for three hours. In those three hours Blossom learned that Susan wanted to be a doctor and was doing pre-med classes along with Chemistry and Biology classes. Blossom was amazed to be honest Susan has a lot of ambitions. When the library closed Susan and Blossom walked to the dorms together chatting about the biology of frogs and other animals.
"Hey, do you want to chill at my dorm?" Susan asked.
Blossom gave Susan a look, "Your roommate won't be upset?"
Susan smiled, "I have a dorm to myself."
Blossom eyes widened, "How did you get away with that?"
"Well, I'm friends with the dorm advisor." Susan answered.
"Ugh, lucky."
"Oh, hey you should totally get a job here as an assistant. I'm an assistant for weekend chemistry classes. The pay isn't the best, but it helps with our experience you know." Susan stated.
Blossom smiled, "Hey that sounds fun I think I'll be able to do a weekend assistant job. Plus, I'll be on campus, and I can still watch Brick."
Susan smiled happily and walked with Blossom to her dorm. Blossom looked in Susans dorm and gasped. Her dorm looked so cute. Everything was pink. She had a pink comforter, a pink desk, and a pink rug. It was honestly beautiful. She had a nice full-size bed and had a cute little pink laptop on her desk. Blossom turned to Susan and smiled.
"Omg your favorite color is pink?"
Susan smiled, "Girl yes."
Blossom grinned and stayed in Susan's room chatting and watching documentaries before they both fell asleep.
Buttercup and Syd found parking spots in the far back of the dorm parking lot. They got off at eight and locked up and left around nine-thirty. While they walked to their dorms, Syd told Buttercup she saw Butch Working at Academy.
"Yeah, he bought me lunch."
Syd gasped, "Omg bitch why didn't you tell me? Did you guys talk?"
Buttercup chuckled, "No not really we kind of just sat in silence it was honestly not that bad."
"I guess he really has changed."
Buttercup shrugged, "I guess so. So where is this party going to be?"
Syd perked up, "Oh girl it's like at this big ass mansion. It's going to be so fun."
Buttercup smiled and walked to her dorm with Syd. She got her clothes out and went to take a quick shower. When she finished her shower, she put her hair in a small ponytail and walked back to her dorm.
"Oh, hey Buttercup."
Buttercup turned her head and saw a wet Butch. He was wearing nothing but a towel and with his hair dripping in his face. Buttercup felt herself turning red and frowned.
"Dude, bring clothes with you to change or something." Buttercup shouted.
Butch grinned, "I have nothing to hide or to be ashamed of."
Buttercup rolled her eyes and walked away. She heard Butch chuckling as he walked opposite of her to his dorm. Buttercup was pissed when she got to the dorm. Syd was just finishing her face mask when Buttercup told Syd about the altercation and she couldn't help but laugh. Buttercup flipped her off and got in her bed falling into a deep sleep.
Bubbles was so happy she had a great day with Robin. The job interview went great. She and Robin got the job and told their now new boss their availability. His name was Marc. He was tall and buff. He had wavy brunette hair and a deep masculine voice. Robin couldn't keep her eyes off him and it honestly made Bubbles laugh. He was pretty cool. He said that their boutique was the first of many to be built. Construction was working on all the new boutiques and Marc made it clear that the construction workers are to be taken care of. They were working in the hot sun for hours on end.
Robin stated she had no problem with checking on the guys and giving them water. Marc got their numbers and said he would text them about their first day. Bubbles and Robin were on cloud nine as they were walking towards Bubbles' car. While walking to the car Robin stopped gasping in shock. Bubbles got into a defensive stance and turned to where Robin was looking. Her eyes widened when she saw Boomer in a pair of jeans and white shirt with a construction jacket and hat. Bubbles was surprised that out of the three boys Boomer would be the construction worker she saw construction being up Butch's alley for the perfect job.
"Holy crap Bubs Boomer is in construction and he's hot as fuck." Robin gushed.
Bubbles was still flabbergasted as Boomer wiped sweat from his head. He was looking at his phone. Bubbles and Robin decided it was time to go when they saw it was getting dark. Bubbles found a nice spot in the far back and walked with Robin back to the dorms. While walking Robin started talking about Boomer.
"Hey, do you think Boomer saw us or heard me? Don't you guys have super hearing?"
Bubbles giggled, "I think he was distracted to pay us any attention."
Robin sighed in relief, "Oh good that would have been embarrassing."
The girls got to the room and went to take quick showers. It was around ten when they went to sleep. As usual around two in the morning Bubbles had to pee. She huffed and tiredly walked to the bathroom. She relieved herself, washed her hands and started walking back to her room. As she walked to her room, she felt a tingling chill up her spine. She turned around and saw Boomer with a shirt on, smiling at her. Bubbles gave a small smile and asked what he wanted.
"Well just wanted to say can't wait to be working with you and Robin and I wanted to say congratulations on the job." Boomer stated.
Bubbles had to hide her surprise, "Thank you."
"Oh, and tell Robin thanks for the compliment I didn't know I was 'hot as fuck.'"
Bubbles turned red from embarrassment, "You heard that?"
Boomer chucked, "Yeah super hearing remember."
Bubbles sighed, "I thought you weren't paying us any attention."
"Eh I saw you going into the boutique, but I couldn't really say anything since I was working." Boomer explained.
"Ah right umm well I have to get to sleep." Bubbles started.
Boomer agreed, "Oh yeah totally umm I'll see ya later. Sweet dreams."
Bubbles smiled and flew to her room. She feared if she had walked her legs would have given out. She got in her bed and took a deep breath as she forced herself to go to sleep.
