Jealousy is just a lack of self confidence.

Blossom's P.O.V

"P-professor?" I stuttered, he's home early....

He jumped, turning around a smile lead to his lips. I just went into his arms before he could speak, "What are you doing home early." I whispered, still holding onto him.

"Well New York isn't really a kind, clean city so I finished as fast as I could, I missed you girls so very much."

I finally pulled away, looking at the burnt eggs, professor isn't the best cook. I through it away, with him refusing to waste such 'good' food, I pulled out the waffle maker, plugged it in, used butter spray and stared making batter. "You should rest professor, jet lag."

"You're probably right blossom and I will after you girls leave for school." He said sternly, no changing his mind.

Bubbles came down wearing a black knee length skirt, baby blue flats, baby blue ruffly blouse and her hair up in 2 pig tails. Her make up done, she was clearly still tired considering her constant yawning. Her eyes landed on me and she gave me a small smile, then on the professor, her eyes grew wide and in a flash of baby blue she was squeezing him, almost knocking him down.

They talked, while I finished cooking, buttercup came down the stairs most tired. Her eyes were basically closed, body slumped, yawning, "Hey blossom, bubbles and professor." She said sitting down.

Bubbles giggled as butters eyes snapped open, "Professor?!" she rubbed her eyes a couple times then engulfed him into a hug.

She was wearing lime green skinny jeans, black combat boots with lime green laces, a black hoodie and her hair slightly curled on the ends.

It was nice to us all together, a family, I was so distracted by my thoughts my hand slipped onto to the pancake maker. I deeply breathed in and pulled it away, not making a sound. I blew my ice breath on it and unplugged the machine. I hurry and melted the ice, my hand still red and blistered but I just have everyone there plates and bubbles got the drinks.

We ate, they talked while I listened, we cleaned up and said goodbye to the professor. We each kissed his cheek, I really didn't want to tell him about what was happening, with that gang coming back. Bubbles already told him about the rowdyruff situation and he told us to be safe and that he still didn't trust them.

We agreed of course, I'm pretty sure we all are already in love with our counterparts except buttercup wouldn't admit it. We arrived at school and went our separate ways, our friends watched us confusingly.

I just went to my locker and before I could unlock it someone whispered 'boo' in my ear. I jumped and elbowed whoever was behind me, they groaned and I turned around.

"Oh g-gosh brick! I'm s-so sorry, you sc-scared me!" I said in a rush as he held his stomach. He just slightly smiled, eyes closed and nodded till the pain ceased.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." He said, smirking when his eyes hit his hat on my head. "So we never got to hang out yesterday with your disappearance."

"Oh r-right sorry about th-that." I completely forgot, how stupid can I get?!

"Hey it's okay, we can hang out after school this time." He said leaning against the looker next to mine.

"M-maybe, if my can s-sisters come a-along."

"Yeah they can as long as I get to hang out with you." I nodded, blushing and started opening my locker.

I opened it and a dozen pink roses fell out as I jumped back, gasping. I slowly and hesitantly pinked them up and a card was attached, 'Always Watching'.

Brick read the note from over my shoulder, I could practically feel how angry he was. He took the bouquet and burnt it, turning it into ashes.

"Let's go." He grabbed my unburnt hand and pulled my to class, I barley was able shut my locker!
