Author POV:

It was the next day, and Buttercup was excited for the picnic. She was off duty today so she decided to get dress up and by that she means wearing pants and a simple shirt with brown shoes.

"Nice outfit, very comfy." Mitch snicker, "Thanks, I put a lot of effort on it, I have trouble what kind of pants to put on." Buttercup smiles brightly. "I wonder what Robin would say." Mitch mumbles, 

"Buttercup, you ready?" Butch asks, standing on the other side of the door. "Yeah, let me just grab my coat." Buttercup yells, and snatches a random coat near by. Mitch raises his left eyebrow, "What? I heard it was going to be windy today" Buttercup shrugs. 

"See ya later Buttercup." Mitch says, and Buttercup waves good bye as she exits the bedroom.

Butch holds Buttercup's hand and they both run down the fields, they're laughing and giggling on how they managed to sneak out without the guards catching them. It reminded Buttercup of her childhood with Butch. 

"Alright, let's set out the blanket." 

Buttercups nods and begins to set out the blanket, putting rocks at each other corner so the blanket won't move from the wind. "So, what did you pack?" Buttercup asks, sitting down along with Butch. 

Butch smiles and begins to unpack the food, "I brought hamburgers and French fries along with soda and for dessert I brought cheesecake," Buttercup licks her lips, "Can't wait to dig in," Buttercup scoots closer to Butch to reach for the burgers. 

Butch cheeks turn to a pink color, "Y-yeah." 

Buttercup opens the containers and takes out the freshly made burger. "How many burgers did you bring?" Buttercup asks Butch and takes a big bite of the burger in her hands. "I brought four burgers, I know you always want a second after the first burger." Butch says, looking inside the picnic basket. 

Butch and Buttercup stay talking in the fields for an hour, "I don't understand you, your telling me you want to get married, but not with the Princess? even though you already proposed?"

Apparently Butch had already 'proposed' to the Princess last week, but. Privately without anybody knowing. Buttercup had just found out about it now and she seems more worried on how Blossom's advice would even help her. 

"It's just....lately, I been feeling something towards this specific person, but I'm also confused about it." Butch whispers, staring up at the sky. Butch wonders what his father would've said to him if Butch told his father he was starting to have feelings for a knight. 

"Who?" 

Butch opens his mouth, but nothing can come out and he turns his head to face Buttercup. He sees her black straight hair getting in her face so Butch leans closer to her and pushes her hair back. "I can't tell." He whispers. 

"But we're best friends,"  

"That's the problem" Butch stares into Buttercup's eyes, realizing how big and green they are. 'Pretty' he thinks.  "How?" Buttercup just kept asking questions, not noticing how close Butch's face kept getting. 

They were so close to kissing and Buttercup could feel her heart stop for a second when she feels Butch's breathe on her lips. What Butch says next shocks her to the point she feels goosebumps on her skin. 

"Can...I kiss you?" He mumbles, Buttercup doesn't know what to say and she didn't get a chance because somebody interrupted. 

"PRINCE! PRINCE BUTCH!" One of the workers in the castle yelled, running in the field to get to them. Butch and Buttercup quickly scoot away from each other, a huge space between them. 

"What is it?" Butch says, his voice deep as if he was angry. 

The worker stares at Butch and Buttercup and could tell something must've happened from the sudden behavior. But the worker shrugged it off. "Its Prince Brick, he has come here because of an emergency." 

Both Buttercup's and Butch's eyes widen in horror and they begin to run in the fields to get to the castle, forgetting all about the picnic. Butch and Buttercup get inside the castle and they quickly head their way to a private room. 

"Boomer?" Butch looks confused, "Why are you-" Boomer cuts him off, "I was called that there was an emergency so I got here as quick as I could." Boomer told him, Butch takes a deep breathe and opens the doors. 

Butch stays in shock...

Brick was crying and people were surrounding him to calm him down. "Brick?" Butch says. Every Prince in the room looks away from Brick to look at Butch. 

Brick looks towards Butch and quickly get's up, taking the blanket off himself  and runs over to Butch. Butch tumbles back at the sudden tight hug. 

"I lost her, Butch...I fucking lost her!" Brick cries into Butch's arms. 

"Who?" Boomer asks, confusion written all over his face. 

"Blossom, I-I lost her...s-she's gone...she's d-dead."
