Disclaimer: I do not own Powerpuff Girls or its Characters.

Let's get this straight right here and now. I do not intend to put an actual pairing here. There will be mentions of Greens and Blues, but no Reds. This will be more of a friendship and action story. This will also be Brick-Centric.

"Finally I have the summer to myself," a boy said as he sat down on his bed. He had long auburn hair that was covered by a red baseball cap, worn in reverse, and dark red irises. The boy also wore a red shirt and black basketball shorts. On his right wrist was a thin black wristband. This was none other than Brick Bellum, formerly Jojo, the oldest brother and leader of the Rowdyruff Boys, well what used to be the Rowdyruff Boys.

It had been more than a decade already since their creation, as well as the Powerpuff Girls', and many things have changed between the two groups. One thing that really changed was their attitude towards each other. When the Rowdyruff Boys stopped being evil and were adopted by Ms. Bellum, they had improved their attitude. Gone was the obvious hate and loathing for each other. It had evolved into dislike before turning into a mutual understanding. That was the biggest change for them: they had become friends.

Individually they all had grown up as well, although the counterparts had grown similarly. Brick, as well as Blossom, had grown more intelligent over time. The two of them had challenged each other since they were seven in almost all things academic, as well as sports wise but not as much as their Green brother and sister. That was why the two of them, now eighteen and going into senior year were going to compete for the spot of valedictorian and salutatorian. Although Brick, unlike Blossom, did not join every club she did. While she joined all the academically based clubs, Brick joined some clubs that had nothing to do with academics at all like the art club, video game club and oddly enough the cooking club. These two were rivals and unlike popular belief they did not date each other.

Butch and Buttercup, the greens, were the ones who joined the more sports than their other two siblings. They were more into the whole physical contact and revelled in inflicting each other pain, although not to the point they continuously bleed. That is why even though they are separated into different sports teams by gender, they went up against each other when they need practice. This made the two close friends and at the start of junior year they started to date.

Boomer and Bubbles, the last two and the blue themed siblings, were the most artistic of the group. If it was dealing with anything like art, singing and dance, they were there. One would usually find Boomer at the local music store, while Bubbles was at cheer our in their glee club. Soon they found out that they had a crush on each other. Unlike Butch and Buttercup, they started dating during freshman year.

Now even though they were all teens, they still fought crime from time to time. While the cops handled all the regular and minor crimes, the Powerpuffs handled large monster invasions, aliens and super powered humans. From time to time, the boys would help out as well.

Now going back to Brick's current predicament. Ms. Bellum, his adoptive mother, had won three tickets four a two month cruise and trip around the world. Not only that but Prof. Utonium also won three tickets as well. So when Ms. Bellum asked if the three boys wanted to go, Brick volunteered to stay so she can go as well. When asked why, Brick replied that he had summer homework as well as work to do. This was true of course seeing as he wanted to get ahead of his homework and go to his job at a local café; he was one of their chefs. After much negotiating between the mother and her son, Brick won by saying she deserved some rest and that someone needed to stay in order to stop any monster attacks while the girls were gone.

So here he was now, just after he dropped his family off at the docks, going back to laid on his bed. His job didn't start until four in the afternoon. Brick started to fall asleep again, seeing as he had to wake up early to drop them off, only to be rudely awakened when the doorbell rang. "What now…" he grumbled to himself. The doorbell rang again and he grumbled under his breath. "I'm coming, I'm coming! Don't get your panties in a twist." Getting to the front door. Looking through the peep whole his eyes narrowed. He opened the door and frowned.

Standing in front of his door were two girls, one blonde the other brunette. The blond had her shoulder length hair in pigtails. She had light blue eyes that seemed to shine and an infectious smile on her face, although Brick was still frowning. She had an hourglass figure and if Brick had to guess C-Cup breasts. She had on a white short sleeve button up blouse with a blue shirt hugging her top and a matching plaid skirt. On her feet looked were white sneakers that looked new.

The brunet next to her had chin length raven hair and emerald eyes. Unlike the girl next to her she had a frown on her face, matching Brick's. She too had an hourglass figure although Brick could see the taut muscle in her arms and midriff as he technically checked her out. 'She probably has a double D's or something,' he thought as he gave the girl a once over. She wore a green hoodie and black jeans and a studded belt with a chain attached to something. On her feet were boots that looked military grade. Her arms were crossed over her chest making her breasts be more defined.

Now any normal person would greet these two with kindness since they are after all Bubbles and Buttercup Utonium of the Powerpuff Girls, but since Brick wasn't normal the first thing to fly out of his mouth was. "What the fuck are you two doing here?" he demanded.

"Good to see you too asshole," Buttercup greeted. "Are you going to let us in or not?" The red head looked behind the two and saw a pair of suitcases.

"No seriously, what the fuck are you two doing here?"

"Well you see," Bubbles started, "there is a reason for that."

"Which is?"

"It would be better if we talk inside," the blond said with a smile. Brick wouldn't fall for that though. He's known them long enough to be able resist her damnable smile that makes people do what she wants.

"Um how about no. I want to know the reason you two are here first?" He then tapped the door. "That or you can get the fuck out of my front door."

"Well you see…" Bubbles started to talk but was stopped when Buttercup interrupted her.

"I'm stuck going to summer school and Bubbles has cheer camp," Buttercup replied. Brick stared at them for a moment before slamming the door in their faces. "Hey jackass, open the door!"

"Buttercup, I don't think shouting at him will help our cause," the blond girl told her sister. "Also it is sort of our fault for not telling him we'll be here earlier on."

"Well, if dad let me just go on the trip instead of making me stay this wouldn't be a problem." Suddenly the door opened up again causing the girls to look at Brick standing there still with a frown.

"Get in," he ordered. The two girls looked confusedly at him. "Look you either get in while I have the door open or you can fucking leave."

"Thanks," Bubbles said happily as she dragged in her suitcase. Behind her Buttercup grumbled something under her breathe and entered as well.

"You two sit on the couch," Brick told them. "I'm probably going to need some tea to keep me calm, so get your shit ready to start explaining." The two girls nodded and sat down on the couch and waited. Buttercup was fidgeting, really not wanting to be there, while Bubbles was looking around humming a tune.

"I still don't see why dad made us go here," Buttercup mumbled.

"Well, he doesn't trust you to stay by yourself, not after the last time you threw a party" Bubbles reminded her.

"Hey! That was all on accident! I didn't mean to throw one and you know it!" Buttercup shouted. "It was all Butch's fault!"

"Can you quiet the fuck down?" Brick muttered as he returned with a steaming cup of tea in one hand. The other hand though had two mugs of coffee. He probably used some of his powers to heat up the water faster. "I didn't know if you wanted coffee or not, but I made it anyway. Three spoons of sugar and a lots of crème for Bubbles and black for Buttercup." He set the two in front of the girls and sat on a seat next to them.

"How'd you know what…" Bubbles' question was interrupted when Brick sipped his tea.

"What sort of coffee you liked?" The red head snorted after his sip. "Boomer and Butch spoke about what you two liked so much that it was rather annoying. That and I have an eidetic memory." The blond nodded while Buttercup was already sipping her drink. "Now what are you two doing here?"

"Didn't you hear us outside jackass? We have summer classes for school," Buttercup retorted.

"I heard perfectly heard that bitch," Brick replied with a frown. "What I meant was what are you doing here at my house?" Buttercup glared at Brick and he returned the favour with gusto.

"Dad didn't trust us alone at our house," Bubbles supplied. Brick turned to Bubbles and raised an eye as he drank his tea.

"Explain."

"Well you see, all of us wanted to go on the trip, but there were only three tickets for our family." Brick rolled his eyes, he knew that already. "So we decided that we'd let Professor go since he needs a break and decided Ms. Keane should go as well so they can have some alone time." The blond giggled and Brick rolled his eyes.

"Still not explaining why you girls are here."

"She's getting to it jackass," Buttercup muttered.

"Now we sort of drew straws as to who goes on the trip or not. Blossom won in the end," Bubbles explained. "She's already ahead of school work that we told her to relax and go on the trip. Of course our sister put up a fight but finally agreed. That was when things get complicated." Brick raised his eyebrow again wondering what they meant by that.

"Dad won't let us stay by ourselves. Since my accidental party and Bubbles being caught with Boomer in her bedroom with his pants-"

"BUTTERCUP!" Bubbles shouted mortified. Brick sighed.

"Okay so he sends you here?" he asked. The two girls nodded. "Okay let me get this straight, your father sends you to live with me for two months…alone?" Again the two girls nodded, albeit Buttercup did it slowly. "Why?"

"Because-" Buttercup started to speak but stopped because she didn't really know why they were sent to live alone with Brick for those few weeks.

"Because the professor trusts you," Bubbles replied. Brick's eyes suddenly widened and he stopped drinking his tea. His eyes fell onto the wristband he was wearing before speaking.

"What was that word for word?" Brick asked.

"Yes," Bubbles stated firmly.

"Damn," the red head cursed under his breath. He put down the cup and stood up. "Fine, you two can stay."

"THANKS!" Bubbles thanked the red head and Buttercup mumbled something along those lines.

"Don't thank me just yet. You two need to earn your keep." Brick pointed at the both of them. "You will clean the room you will stay in and cook meals when you are assigned to. I'll probably make a schedule later but for now just be prepared to cook when asked to."

"But I-" The green puff tried to speak but was stopped when Brick kept on talking.

"BC, you can cook I know it." The girl pouted and crossed her arms. "Bubbles and I will look over your homework so you better be doing it." He then pointed to the front of the house. "I have Boomer and Butch's spare keys so I will give them to you seeing as I'll be busy at work and doing other things as well. All I really ask is for you guys not to throw a party and if somehow Boomer gets here, try not to disturb the others if you two are going to do the nasty. Am I clear?" He gave both girls a pointed look. Bubbles blushed hard and Buttercup was grumbling again, but the two nodded. "Good now go pick out a bedroom. You can stay in your boyfriends' room or the guest room, just don't go into my or mom's room got it?"

"Got it!" Bubbles chirped as she sped towards Boomer's room. Brick then noticed Buttercup just sitting there.

"Aren't you going to get a room?"

"I'd rather not sleep in the pigsty that is my boyfriend's bedroom thank you very much," Buttercup told him.

"Wow pigsty, such a big word for you." Buttercup stuck out her tongue at Brick and the former Rowdyruff rolled his eyes. "The couch has a pull out bed just so you know. Make yourself feel at him, watch cable, look though our DVDs for whatever you want to watch, just don't watch porn. If you are do it when everyone else is asleep." Brick stopped talking then looked at the hallway. "THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO BUBBLES!" he shouted.

"I HEARD YOU!" the blond shouted back. Again Brick rolled his eyes and frowned. He turned to Buttercup, just as she took off her shoes and threw up her feet onto the couch.

"You going to be good?"

"Yeah, just leave me alone. Bubbles woke me early up just to drag me here, so I'm going to take a nap," Buttercup said as she took off her sweater and threw it onto the floor. This revealed an almost skin tight black tee. Brick appreciated the view, just for a couple of seconds, before turning towards the hallway. Buttercup raised an eyebrow wondering where he went to, only for him to come back and throw some big fluffy pillows and a blanket at her.

"Make yourself comfortable. As for me I'll got to sleep too. Seven thirty is too early for the first day of break."

"I hear ya." Brick nodded time before walking down the hallway that lead to the boys' separate rooms. He passed by the first door that was slightly colored green, which indicated Butch's room. He then was about to pass by Boomer's room but stopped to look inside. Taking a peak, Brick saw Bubbles already sound asleep on the bed and snuggling into what seemed to be her stuffed toy Octi. For all her energy, Bubbles seemed to be sleepy as well. Brick sighed once again and closed the door, before making his way toward his own room.

When he got to his own room, Brick closed the door and locked it. He then laid down and stared at the wristband again. Slightly touching it, a faint green light appeared on it with several things appearing on the black band. In green pixelated letters, his name appeared along with other statistics. They included current health written in HP and ailments, which should he was still healthy and not have any sicknesses; the date and time, there seemed to be a watch function on it; and lastly something that said Chemical-X Fluctuation, which was currently low. The redhead cursed under his breath again.

"Fuck," he groaned as he closed his eyes. "When will my damn powers settle down? Everyone else's has already settled, why hasn't mine?" This was a problem he had since he became a teen. When all of them hit puberty, the Puffs and Ruffs all hit some sort of super powered puberty as well. They all gained some sort of new powers and their original ones had strengthened considerably but they had lost control of them during that time. This was only supposed to last a year seeing as Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Bubble and Buttercup all had regained control of their powers after a year.

Brick's powers, on the other hand, kept fluctuating until this day. He learned how to keep it under control but at during some days he'd be nearly powerless while others he'd be overly powerful. The wristband he now wore was a device created by the Prof. to help him keep track of his own stability. So during days he was low he'd stay out of fights and when his and when they were high he'd have to hold back a lot. Brick had become a master of hiding this during the past few years, but when it became unbearable he'd go talk with the Prof and train there. It was during those times that he and the professor had gotten closer to one another and their talks had helped give Brick a boost his intelligence.

Now here he was with Prof. Utonium asking him for a favour. Brick knew he'd have to go with it though. It was the least he could do for the man whose been helping him out for the past few years. Add in the fact that the Prof. said that he trusted him; Brick knew he really couldn't kick the girls out. Groaning again, knowing that he wouldn't get any sleep, Brick had a quick change of clothes. Trading in his red shirt and black shorts for a white shirt and red shorts, he grabbed his phone and put his earphones in. Brick also took his keys for the house before heading out towards the living room. If he wasn't going to sleep, he'd start his exercises now.

He checked in on Bubbles one last time, before making sure Buttercup was asleep as well. He wrote a note down saying that he would go out for a run, before leaving his home. This summer was going to be a bit hectic in his opinion.

Leave me a review please. Flames are accepted. I need to know what you guys think.
