***********************************************************
Chapter 3
The bell rang indicating that the school day was over. The doors burst open as students bolted out like they had never experienced such freedom. Three girls in green, pink, and blue respectively floated out and stood by the flag pole.
“Thank goodness, we’re out of that dump! Man, I can’t believe we go to school here now,” exclaimed Buttercup stretching and cracking her back.
“Oh come on Buttercup, you know it wasn’t that bad,” said Bubbles giggling and playfully slapping Buttercup on her back.
Buttercup cocked her eyebrow at Bubbles and smiled. Bubbles knew her too well. Over the years she and her blue sister had gotten pretty close doing most stuff together. This was because though Bubbles was sweet, she wasn’t as high and mighty as Blossom and she tended to go with the flow. Simply put, Bubbles liked to have fun, and most of the time whatever Buttercup did was fun even though it was sometimes wrong.
Blossom stepped in between her sisters, effectively ending their banter. “Have you seen Billy?” she asked. “He was supposed to meet us out here.”
“No Blossom, I haven’t seen him yet,” answered Bubbles glancing over the crowd of students still spilling out of the open school doors.
Buttercup humphed, “Maybe he’s not going to show up,” she paused. “Or maybe he’s just late,” she added making it sound like a completely novel idea. “You know not everyone can be as perfect as you Blos.”
“Ugh spare me BC, not now.” Blossom rolled her eyes. She knew she was very demanding but she hated it when Buttercup saw it fit to remind her of it every bloody day.
“HI!” They spun around at the ingratiating loud voice.
Billy stood behind them grinning like a maniac. Next to him were Irwin and, funny enough, the Goth kid called Junior.
Irwin looked almost as happy as Billy while Junior just looked at his feet. His face was pretty impassive. The girls couldn’t tell what he was thinking about being in their presence right then. A weird silence fell among them as they regarded each other.
“I guess you’ve already met my cousin, Nergal Jr.,” said Billy breaking the silence. He pointed at Junior.
The Goth boy looked up then, and focused on Buttercup.
Buttercup faltered for a second then she smiled. She knew they had just gotten off on the wrong foot and she wanted to fix that. Something told her she might get to like him, so why not start mending the bridge now.
“You’re pretty powerful,” she stated. “Not many people can take me,” She paused as silence continued to reign.
Feeling slightly awkward she decided to switch gears. “I’m Buttercup by the way and these are my sisters, Blossom and Bubbles,” indicating each one of them as she mentioned their names. “Where did you get your super powers from?”
Nergal Jr. stared at Buttercup. He didn’t know what to make of her. He had already figured that 1) She was definitely one of the new students, 2) She had super powers and probably so did her sisters, 3) She got mad very easily, 4) She was pretty strong (she didn’t even have a single bruise or cut from their earlier scuffle), and 5) She could probably beat him if given the chance, he had been getting tired before Mandy had interrupted while she had seemed to still have fight in her even after all that electricity in her system.
Junior wasn’t sure just yet if he wanted to be her friend though but he knew he didn’t want to be her enemy. He decided he didn’t want to mess with her, so he did the friendly thing; he answered her question.
“I was born with them,” he stated simply. His voiced was raspy and had a slight high pitch. This is how he always sounded except when he was speaking with a lot of emotion as he had been earlier.
“How come?” prodded Buttercup, happy to finally get some form of a reaction from him. She dug his voice. He was really gothic and she thought it was cool.
“My father is the creature that lives in the center of the earth. I am a hybrid of him and Billy’s Aunt. Therefore, I possess his abilities to shape shift and other things while I retain a human look most of the time,” he explained.
Blossom was fascinated. ‘Wow! A living being from the center of the earth! I thought those stories were lies!’
Bubbles soon voiced her thoughts, “Wow! I thought those stories were all lies and made up stuff!”
Junior smiled. Everyone thought those stories were lies. “Well if the boogie man is real… then why can’t the man in the center of the earth, or the man on the moon, be real?” he asked simply by way of explanation.
“Good point,” agreed Buttercup. She liked this guy. He seemed definitely cool.
Billy finally spoke up, “So do you wanna know about Mandy or what?” He sounded impatient.
Irwin smiled shyly. “Billy has little to no patience. He’s full of too much energy,” he explained.
All three girls smiled. They didn’t mind his interruption, they wanted the information.
Blossom spoke, “That’s ok. We don’t mind; we’re all ears.”
Billy looked at them like they had said something completely stupid. Then he shrugged and began his tale as he walked away from the school grounds knowing that they would all follow him.
“Mandy and I have been friends since we were like…” he paused genuinely thinking, a frown on his brow. ‘How old were we again?’
“Eight,” supplied Junior.
“Yeah eight,” Billy quickly agreed then he frowned again. “No longer than that. We were about eight when we met Grim but I knew Mandy before that.” He thought again trying to recall how old they were when he shrugged giving up. “Since forever,” he said simply, satisfied with that.
“How did you meet the Grim reaper?” asked Buttercup genuinely curious as to how such a great power was at the obvious beck and call of Mandy.
Billy sniggered at the memory. “I had a pet hamster named Mr. Snuggles. He was really old. Grim came to reap his soul but Mandy won’t let him cause I still loved him. So she made a deal with Grim. She said they would play a game. If Mandy won, we got to keep Mr. Snuggles, and if Grim won he got to have Mr. Snuggles plus me as an extra bonus. I added myself by the way.”
Billy shook his head at his past stupidity. Not saying that he wasn’t stupid now, but he was less prone to such idiotic whims. He had also developed the common sense to know what he wanted and not to eat socks.
“Well, Grim stupidly increased the wager believing that he would not lose. He said if Mandy won he would be our best friend forever as well as us keeping Mr. Snuggles.”
Buttercup smiled at the thought of an eight year old Mandy outwitting the Grim reaper. “Obviously she won,” drawled Buttercup.
“Obviously,” said Junior agreeing.
“Whatever,” said Billy effectively ending that conversation and reverting to his original one. “Mandy met Mindy when Mindy had first moved in. She had been doing the neighborly nice thing. But Mindy made Mandy mad that first day because Mindy won’t shut up.”
Billy smiled. He didn’t shut up either but Mandy was patient with him. She knew she could make him pay later.
“Anyway, ever since then Mindy’s been out to get Mandy. She always does stuff to put Mandy on the spot and tries to steal Mandy’s friends. She says ‘if I can’t be Mandy’s friend, then no one will.’”
“Yeah but I’m her friend too yo,” interjected Irwin. “And I’m her boyfriend too,” he grinned from ear to ear.
Buttercup grimaced. Somehow she didn’t think Mandy would willingly go out with the black boy. Not because he didn’t seem like a nice guy but just because of the reason that he seemed like a nice guy. Mandy looked like she would need a tough guy that she could break to do her bidding or at least someone very powerful.
Junior grunted, “In your dreams Irwin. You’ve been calling Mandy your girlfriend since third grade. Give it a rest she doesn’t like you like that.” He chuckled nastily, “Hell, she probably just doesn’t like you at all.”
Irwin scowled, ‘Man I hate him’ “She does so like me. And one day she will be my girlfriend, yo.”
Billy laughed out at this and slapped Irwin hard on his back causing Irwin to topple forward. “No, Irwin. It would never happen. You’re not Mandy’s type. You’ll probably be dead before a week into the relationship.”
At that Junior, Billy and even Buttercup and Bubbles, who didn’t know Mandy that well, began laughing their heads off.
Blossom scoffed. ‘Do they really have to be so mean? Geez! Even my bloody sisters are laughing.’ Blossom shook her head.
“Could you please get back to your story?” asked Blossom politely, ruining their fun.
Billy nodded curtly, “Yeah, sure.” He coughed to clear his throat. “So Mindy and Mandy have had this ongoing rivalry and as the years went by Mandy became more of a recluse. But not because of Mindy though; no one can ever affect Mandy unless she wants them to.”
Billy frowned at even the thought of someone influencing Mandy. He shuddered. “She hung out with Grim a lot and did most of her stuff with him. She gradually pulled away from school and stuff not even giving Mindy the satisfaction of a retort every time Mindy tried to laugh her down.
“Mandy said that Mindy wasn’t even worth it.” Billy took a deep breath. He continued in a quieter voice, “I suffered it though. Mandy was my protection but she was never there. She would disappear after school and be gone till she felt like being seen. I think she always went to the underworld but I have no proof as she wouldn’t tell me. I started to get bullied. I’ve always been bullied but even more so this time because this time, no one was afraid that Mandy would show up and avenge me. I didn’t want to worry Mandy. She seemed more peaceful at the time, more human though she still never smiled.”
Billy looked at them then, begging them with his eyes to understand that he cared for Mandy more than his life; cared for her more than his personal well being. He loved Mandy for all it was worth.
Bubbles smiled at him. Trying without words to comfort him and make him see that they understood.
He looked at the ground when he saw the care in Bubbles eyes. He had never seen such feeling from a partial stranger. Even Mandy didn’t look at him with such understanding when he had tried to explain it to her. Her eyes had been expressionless.
Billy sat down feeling slight emotional pain at having to remember all this. They all sat next to him on the curb. Blossom gently put her hand on his shoulder, silently urging him to continue.
Billy heaved a sigh. He understood what she wanted and continued, “One day I was being roughed up by Sperg as usual, but unlike other days Sperg hadn’t waited till after school. He had wanted to deal with me then. This meant that Mandy was in school. She saw what he was doing.”
Billy paused again. “I have never seen such cold fury in her eyes before,” he said. His eyes were staring into his past. “She was even madder that people were just there, watching not doing anything… including Mindy who was our eighth grade class president and therefore rep in student council. Mandy beat the stuffing out of Sperg and then she faced Mindy. Mindy said that she was only supposed to do stuff for the whole class and saving me wasn’t to the class benefit… after all I was the class idiot.
“I thought Mandy was going to kill her then but she didn’t do anything. She merely stared at Mindy and said, ‘next year, I’ll be president.’ And… she was.” Billy smiled sadly, “Everyone simply wanted a change and they didn’t care who it was. Mandy became pres and Mindy became VP.”
“Yeah, but Mandy didn’t care though,” interrupted Irwin, wanting to get his two cents in. “She only did it so she can have the authority to do stuff to Sperg if he messed with Billy. Because of that Mindy did whatever. It was almost like Mandy wasn’t the president at all.”
“Mindy tried to make Mandy look really bad from the inside,” stated Junior with cold fury in his eyes. “She made all of Mandy’s plans go wrong just because Mandy didn’t care enough to work it out herself. But Mandy is smart. Close to midterms she figured it out. She realized that the school was considering taking her out of office because she was obviously… weak. Mandy then all of a sudden bucked up. We still don’t know why. Mandy doesn’t normally care enough to do that but she did. She started being one heck of a pres. She cleaned up the bullies making them too scared to even try and she began to do stuff for the class with Grim being her right hand man.”
Billy laughed then. “Mindy was furious. Everyone began to love Mandy. She became like a demi-god to us. We worshipped her in a way because only she had freed us from all this pain. Even the upperclassmen respected her at the time. Soon the principal was even at her beck and call. If Mandy gives you any form of a punishment, you knew it came from the man. She could even punish them upper-class jerks before. Hehe, now we’re the upper-class jerks.”
Billy faced Blossom. “That’s why we all protect her and love her like that. That’s the story behind Mandy. She’s been pres since but now she wants to leave. Just as our first semester as seniors is about to kick off, Mandy is done. She’s just waiting for some strong willed person to come around and take her place.”
“But why would she want to do that?” asked Bubbles thoroughly confused.
“Because she said she’s done being gracious. She said she wants her life back and she’s tired of serving this school with its infinite amount of problems,” answered Junior sounding slightly bitter as he repeated Mandy’s words to the Powerpuffs. “The thing you need to understand is that it’s not in Mandy’s nature to be this nice. She’s done it for three years now and that’s about her limit.”
Blossom stayed silent for a bit. She was thinking. She knew she could be president but she wasn’t sure why the school would even allow this type of change to happen.
“Em… how can the school let her do this?” asked Blossom.
“The school let’s her do whatever she wants,” said Billy wistfully.
Blossom frowned slightly then stood up, her mind having been made. Buttercup groaned, instantly recognizing the look on Blossom’s face. ‘Here it comes,’ she thought inwardly.
“Guys, I am going to run for senior class president,” stated Blossom.
They all gawked at her; all of them that is except Buttercup who had seen it coming. She got up and looked Blossom straight in the eye.
“You’re new here Blos. How in the world are you going to get these people to vote you in as their class pres?”
Blossom smiled at her sister like she had just uttered gibberish. “By campaigning of course! I mean it can’t hurt. I use my campaigns for people to get to know me. Besides, I hear that there are a lot of new students in our year. They don’t know much anyway!”
By this time everyone else was standing. Buttercup was about to make another complaint as to who exactly would be helping her on this campaign spiel, knowing full well it would be her and Bubbles, when she was interrupted.
“Great,” said Mandy having suddenly appeared. “I’ll resign tomorrow. Good luck with your campaign, come on Billy.”
They all gaped at her back as she walked away, disappearing almost as quickly as she had appeared but this time with Billy in tow.
Buttercup suddenly called out, “Hey wait up!”
Mandy stopped and turned to face the green Powerpuff.
Buttercup stopped in front of her. “Hey I know we got off on the wrong foot today but…” she paused. “I think you’re really cool, after hearing about you, and maybe we could be friends and you could tell me more about your school?”
Mandy stared at her. Her eyes just as non-committing as Junior’s had been. Finally she spoke, “I’ll think about it.” Then she turned and walked away.
Buttercup smiled. Somehow she knew she had already made a friend in that blonde menace who was dressed in pink and black.
“Hey, Buttercup we gotta head home,” yelled Bubbles, breaking her reverie.
Buttercup flew over to her sisters. Blossom was already lost in thought as to how she was going to go about campaigning to win over the senior class populace and Bubbles was already blabbing about who she had met or had just noticed.
Buttercup smiled inwardly as she thought of the Grim reaper’s keeper. Yeap, Mandy was going to be one of her best friends. She could feel it.
