A Fate Set in Stone 2

“No,” Blossom shook her head in doubt. “I-it can’t be. It’s not true.” She swallowed and let go of the girl.
“Wait. Where are they?!” The girl growled out and looked over at the equally pissed looking boy. They pretty much fazed through the group’s hands and headed for the nearest window.
“How the hell did you do that?!” But Butch’s question went unanswered as they opened the window.
“It’s still day.” The boy murmurs.
“That explains it.” The girl lets a relieved sigh escape from her mouth.
“What do you mean? Who are you and what are you talking about?!” Buttercup’s words were dripping with demand. They turn to her with amused smirks on their faces.
“Well, how about you answer my question first.” The girl’s voice has a slight edge to it. Everyone but the purple-eyed boy and girl looked at each other and swallowed nothing.
“We won’t hurt you.” The boy’s voice is calm and sweet.
“We just want to know who lit the candle.” The girl’s voice just as sweet and calm as the boy’s by her side. Again no one stepped forward. The duo looked at each other then grinned.
“You all lit it, didn’t you?” The boy smirked as he asked this.
“Yeah. They did.” The purple eyed girl responds, smirking as well. “You can see it in their eyes. Let alone the fact that they’re not pushing the person or people that did it forward.” They chuckle at the astonished looks on the group who lit the candle.
“W-we didn’t light the candle.” Brick lamely attempts. The two scoff.
“Right.” There’s sarcasm dripping off the ‘fictional’ girl’s words.
“I-I uh…” Blossom couldn’t even form words.
“We did. We all lit the candle. W-we thought it was just a myth, a story. We didn’t know it was really true. I’m sorry.” Buttercup was the first to start speaking like a normal person again. The girl smiled and gave a curt nod.
“Good. So, I’m guessing you already know who we are?” The boy asked.
“Well, we can guess.” Butch states as he looks at the two.
“The duo from the story.” Bubbles murmurs from behind a shaking Boomer. The boy smiles and nods at the blonds.
“But you don’t know our names right?” He asks and they all nod.
“No we don't.” Butch confirms.
“The name’s Alex.” The girl states bluntly.
“Adam.” The boy grins and chuckles.
“I’m Buttercup.” Buttercup grins as she speaks.
“My name’s Butch.” Butch nods at them.
“B-Bubbles, Boomer.” Boomer points to Bubbles then himself accordingly.
“And the ones you broke over there are Brick is the dude with the red eyes, and Blossom, girl with the pink eyes.” Buttercup snickers when she finishes speaking.
“Nice to meet all of you as well. And to, apparently, break the two of you.” Adam says gesturing to the redheads. Alex laughs and smiles.
“We should find the book.” Alex sighs as she moves to the door.
“What about them?” Adam asks and she shrugs.
“They could get on with their normal lives I guess.” Alex shrugs and Adam does the same.
“What?!” Buttercup exclaims as she follows the purple-eyed pair. “What do you mean? You’re not even going to let us try and help?!” She yells at the completely unfazed pair and they nod.
“Well, why not?!” Butch yells, wanting to go and have his ‘Halloween adventure’.
“Because! They already hurt enough people and we’re not going to put you in danger!” They look at the pair in shock as they had not only just done that, but they had yelled in unison. They let out a sigh. “Sorry.” They murmured in a guilty tone, Adam running his hand through his hair and Alex letting her hair drape over her face like a curtain.
“But, we're responsible for this!” Buttercup tries to convince them.
“Yeah! We were the idiots that lit the candle!” Butch agrees.
“We can't just let you two do all of the work, when we caused the problem!” They say in unison. The legendary duo looked at each other for a second.
“Fine.” Alex finally sighs out. Butch and Buttercup grin.
“But,” Adam’s face takes a drastic change, “you do what we tell you.” He glares at them.
“Okay.” They nod in agreement.
“I’m not kidding. You have to do what we say, no matter what.” The group looks back and forth at each other.
“We promise.” They state in slightly jumbled unison.
“Alright, fine.” Adam sighs.
“You can help.” Alex shakes her head, already regretting their decision.
“Awesome!” Butch and Buttercup call out in unison.
“But, it looks like you two are in costume…” Bubbles murmurs lightly, being a bit weary of the whole idea of going up against three powerful witches of legend.
“It is Halloween, but people usually aren’t in costume this early.” Boomer adds on.
“Exactly, we should probably get them some clothes.” Bubbles grins for the first time since Alex and Adam appeared. “To our houses!” Bubbles takes Alex’s hand and goes running down the street towards her house. The rest of the group follows the two girls down the street.


~To the girls!~


“What?” Alex asks before she’s pushed into the bathroom.
“You have to change into Buttercup’s clothes because we have to bring you to school.” Bubbles explains.
“And hurry!” Blossom adds on. “We’re already late because of the whole candle ordeal!” She scowls at the thought.
“Quit being such a buzz kill Bloss!” Buttercup grinned at her responsible sister. Blossom glared back at Buttercup in response.
“Why are they ripped?” Alex’s voice echoes from behind the door.
“That’s just the style now.” Buttercup answers, breaking her gaze with Blossom.
“Why?” Alex was confused, it was clear in her voice.
“I don’t know.” Buttercup frowns. “It’s just fashion.”
“That’s ludicrous.” Alex murmurs. A thud is heard from the bathroom and a light squeak. The three sisters perk up and look at the door. “I’m okay.” After the reassurance Buttercup starts to laugh.


~With the guys!~


“But…” Adam frowns as Boomer goes through Butch’s closet.
“There are no buts allowed. This is a whole different millennia!” Boomer stops digging through the clothes to throw his arms up in the air. “You have to wear different clothes!”
“Well, I think that this is half-witted.” Adam scowls down at the clothes in his arms.
“My point exactly!” Butch exclaims. Boomer piles more clothes in Adam’s arms then pushes him towards the bathroom.
“You can change in here.” Boomer explains. Adam grumbles at the triplets in return.  
“We need to hurry if we’re gonna make it to school.” Brick grumbles.
“Are you really worried about school, or are you worried more so about Blossom?” Butch teases.
“I-uh…” Brick stutters out. “Shut up Butch!” He scowls at Butch while the said brother laughs.  
“Yeah cause that totally screams no.” Boomer grins.
