Hmmm...... Now WHAT is Boomer gonna do....?

______________________________________________________________________________

Boomer flew straight home after he flew out of Bubbles' room. He needed to know what Bubbles was thinking about the kiss before school tomorrow, so he could prepare himself for the horrible pain he knew his heart would give him. He needed to know ASAP.

As soon as he got home, he pulled the book from his pocket. He was going to settle this right then and there. He opened it halfway and stopped. He couldn't read her thoughts! It was an invasion of privacy, not to mention just plain evil. He was suddenly mad at himself for everything he had ever done with that book. He threw it in a trash can in disgust.

Well, that's over with. I guess I'll just have to take tomorrow as it comes. He thought with a weak smile. He didn't want to know how much Bubbles hated him, but if he could be around her one more time, he'd take the risk.

Is it possible to go from hate to love in thirty seconds? Boomer asked himself, with a smile. He laid down on his bed, and thought of Bubbles.

Bubbles was still sitting in the beanbag chair. She felt so stupid! Why'd she ever kiss him? HIM??? She didn't want to be insulted, or hurt, or emotionally hurt. So why'd she kiss him? Did she think there was a small chance that HE was the cause of all those feelings inside her? Well, he was, and tomorrow she was going to feel a lot of pain when he called her a Ditz or a Bimbo and told her to stay away from him. She knew she wouldn't be able to take it.

Why did I have to fall for BOOMER???

Why HIM?

Well, tomorrow I'm gonna feel a lot of pain. But it's not like I didn't earn it...

Boomer, why HER?????? Boomer was thinking to himself. He was too busy beating himself up over his feelings to notice that his brothers were home, and watching him with interest.

"Sure, she's beautiful, smart, funny, and has KILLER artistic ability. But WHY HER????" He mumbled. His brothers heard this, and Butch stepped into the room.

"Yo! Lovestruck! Snap out of it! Butch is HERE to help! You awake in there?" Butch knocked Boomer on the head, and Boomer said ouch. He then kicked Butch halfway across the room. "YO CHILL!" Butch said quickly before more fighting ensued.

"We heard you kicked Jake's a** at school, so we came to lend our dearest brother some hands. What happened, Bro?" Brick asked. He quickly flew to his blue brother's side.

"Well, I came out of the classroom with the pass, and found Bubbles and Jake Making out against the wall."

"Wait, HOLD IT. BUBBLES???" Brick said, a look of pure astonishment on his face. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Yup, and so then, I tapped them on the shoulder, and told them to get back to class. Jake said something about Miss Kean, and when we told him to take it back, HE SLAPPED BUBBLES ACROSS THE FACE!!!!"

"WHAT!!!!!" Butch couldn't believe it either.

"So then Bubbles ran, and I pummeled the guy." Boomer felt he didn't need to relate what happened in Bubbles' room.

"Well, okay, if that's what you say happened. But you were mumbling about some girl. That girl wouldn't happen to be a certain Pig-Tailed PowerPuff we know, would it?" Butch said slyly.

"NO WAY, BUTCH" Brick yelled. He wasn't losing another brother to those dumb girls.

"Cool it, dude. He's right." Boomer said quietly. He couldn't meet Brick's eyes, because he knew there would only be disgust in them.

"Dude, no way..." Brick said quietly.

"HA!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!! I knew you liked her, Boomer! So, what'cha do???"

Boomer knew there was no use in hiding it from Butch. "Brick, man,, could you leave the room for a few minutes? You might not want to hear this."

"Whatever." Brick flew out of the room and shut the door.

"SO.............." Butch was dying to know.

"Well, after the guy was unconscious, I decided to see where Bubbles went. You know, if she was doin' okay. I didn't know I liked her then. So, I kinda... went to her house." Boomer said, shyly.

"WHAT?" Butch said. It was absolutely crazy!

"And I found Bubbles there listening to music. I knocked on her window, and she let me in. MAN, you should SEE her room. Her drawings RULE! Anyway, so we talked for a little while, and I almost KISSED her!!!!!!"

"NO WAY!!" Butch was practically ecstatic for his brother.

"Yeah, and we talked, and just as I was climbing out the window, she KISSED ME! And flew off!!!!"

"Oh My GOD!!" Butch practically yelled. He was so happy for his brother he could scream!

"But it was probably some stupid thing she's gonna take back tomorrow." Boomer said sadly.

"Don't think that! She might just like you. Like, you know, what's that song?"

"You mean 'Love You, Hate You'?" Boomer said. Then the thought came back through his head about her, saying she loved that song, and had it on loop. Could she actually like me? It was silly, but possible.

"I gotta go find Bubbles!" He said suddenly, and flew out the window of the warehouse they were living in.

When he got to Bubbles house, he saw her sitting in that beanbag chair, crying her eyes out. He knocked on the window, and she saw him. She looked at him in confusion, and opened the window to let him in.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I came to say something that, at one time, I never thought I would say."

At that moment, Boomer swooped Bubbles into his arms and gave her a passionate kiss, that was so powerful she thought she would melt. It was everything she thought it would be. And maybe even more. He backed away and said "Sorry Bubbles. I couldn't help it. It's so hard to understand these feelings! You have NO IDEA how hard!"

Bubbles then surprised him with another, more passionate kiss. Boomer felt like he would fly apart. His heart was beating so fast, and his head didn't know what to think. He wanted to stay there forever, and when Bubbles pulled away he had a goofy grin on his face.

"I think I might have an idea." Bubbles said with a smile.

Boomer couldn't believe what he was hearing! He was so happy he wanted to sing! "So, you DO like me..." He said, jokingly.

"Yeah, Got a problem with that?" Bubbles joked as she put her arms around him.

"Not at all!" Boomer said quickly, and swept her up into a romantic kiss.

Later that night, on the phone, Boomer told Bubbles everything. About the Book, his plans... Bubbles laughed at every bit of it, and remembered that the book had been used as a weapon against them before! She laughed so hard that she almost fell of the beanbag! And then he told her that he didn't just like her. That he loved her more than his heart could take. She said the same, and promised to always stand by him, and they hung up to go to bed.
