The door was open and shut quickly with a loud thud as Butch walked in the house. Two people heard the loud thud and hurried to the front door. "What's going on," a male figure asked . Butch's body flinched as he saw the two people show up near the front door. "Hey mom and dad. I am doing okay...." Butch's head hung low and his voice was quiet. His parents noticed something was off and walked up to their child.
"Hey, I feel like something is on your mind, sweetie," Butch's mom stated. "We talk about it if you want to," she continued as she placed a hand on her son's shoulder. "Really?" Butch asked quietly. "Yes son, if something is on your mind, you can talk to us," the dad added. Butch closed his eyes for a second before opening it up to look at his parents. "Okay, I would like to."
Kaoru walked in the back door of her house and put down her skateboard in the garage. She immediately ran upstairs and went to her room and closed it fast, making a loud creak noise throughout the hallway. A few minutes went by as Kaoru sat in her room and heard a knock on her door. She got up and opened it to see her two parents showing blank expressions.
"Let me guess, Butch made you mad and upset again." Kaoru's mom stated.
"What how did yo-"
"Because you didn't greet us when you came home and your room door slammed shut," Kaoru's dad interrupted.
"Oh.. yeah..." she sighed. "Uh, it was about Butch and I don't want to talk about it."
Both of Kaoru's parents nodded and casually waved goodbye to their daughter before walking away.
"Okay, then. Remember what we said last time and have a goodnight." Kaoru's mom mentioned as she walked with her spouse to their room.
"Goodnight sweetie, have a good day tomorrow." Kaoru's dad added in before closing the door to their room.
*sigh*, "Goodnight," Kaoru mumbled before closing the door.
The next day was bright, with a cloud of shade and low winds over Tokyo City on a Saturday afternoon. The Tokyo City park was packed with families and citizens of the city playing with pets and flying kites. Everyone was soaking up the sun and enjoying their time, except for Butch who sat on a park bench holding a closed box.
*sigh* "I want to do this, but I don't know how," Butch thought. He held the box and his hand continued to sweat and shake as his leg moved rapidly. "What do I say?" Butch whispered to himself. Suddenly, a burst of wind brushed past him and nearly flew back on the bench which caused the box to fall on the ground.
"My bad, dude. I didn't see you there," said the voice who stopped and got off their skateboard. The person walked over to Butch to check on him and offered a hand. Butch looked up and saw Kaoru's face, then took her hand and was brought up.
"Oh wow, I didn't expect you to be here," Kaoru said. Butch dusted himself off, "Yeah, I wanted to get some fresh air for the day." Kaoru nodded in response and picked up her skateboard. Butch picked up his box and looked at it before turning his head to Kaoru.
"Hey, do you have a minute? I want to talk." Butch said as he looked at Kaoru. "Sure, I got some time," Kaoru responded and they both sat down on the park bench.
Butch took a deep breath and exhaled, "First, I want to say I'm sorry for being silly and calling you insults last night at the mall. I didn't know what I was doing." He slumped his shoulders back and down with his eyes slightly moving away. Kaoru saw his reaction and did something she rarely does.
"Hey," she touched his shoulder, "I should be apologizing first because of what I said after the mall incident. I didn't want to hurt you at all." Kaoru calmly said.
"Thanks Kaoru, I appreciate it," Butch replied, "I shouldn't have gotten in the fold, if I was gonna say and do something silly and random on the spot. Haha." He chuckled. "I should thank you for severely beating up those bullies like a walk in the park. HAHA!!"
"HAHA!" Kaoru responded in laughter, "No problem Butch. I am glad I was able to help too and protect that guy from those bullies and I definitely gave them a knuckle and kick sandwich combo! HAHAHA!!!" Both teenagers joined together in laughter about the previous incident and what they said to each other afterwards. The laughter dwindled down in five minutes as they focused their attention on each other.
"Well," Butch mentioned, " I do have a gift for us both and I think you would like it." Butch reached for the box beside him. "What is it?" asked Kaoru. Butch opened up the box and handed Kaoru a dark green t-shirt with a capitalized word, "MAVERICK", in bold letters. "Woah! This is surprising and cool! Where did you get it?" she asked out of curiosity.
"I got it from the custom attire store after you knocked out those two guys and thought it would be cool! I even got the bright green one for myself!" Butch showed the bright green shirt with the word, "MAVERICK", on the front. Kaoru was amazed and even giggled at Butch's excitement.
"So I was thinking of a duo name for us to make us stand out from the rest of our team." Butch said. Kaoru paused, placing a hand on her chin. "Hmm, what name do you have in mine?"
"Hmm, I was thinking of the March Mavericks!" Butch answered. "Hmm, why that name?" Kaoru asked. "Well because it's the month of March and St. Patrick's Day," Butch jumped up from the bench, "and we have two different shades of green with you being a part of the PowerPuff Girls and me being with the RowdyRuff Boys!!! Kaoru stood still for one minute and did a facepalm.
"Really? That's the reason?"
"Yup! What do you think?"
She looked at both green shirts and saw his happy face before she stood up. "Fine, I like the idea and I accept the name." Kaoru answered.
"Yay!!!! Thank you so much!!" Butch hugged Kaoru tightly with a smile on his face. Kaoru was stunned at first but hugged him back with a blushing appearing on her face. They removed themselves after a few seconds and Butch was still smiling. "You know what, I really like the idea of us being called mavericks because we are total opposites of each other, which makes us a rebel. Oh yeah." Kaoru stated after liking the new duo name.
"That's great! I can't wait to showcase our March Mavericks style!" Butch exclaimed. "And Power!" Kaoru added.
"March Mavericks are mean and magnificent!!" The duo yelled out in excitement and hype for the whole park to hear and struck an outstanding pose.
The End.
