The Miranda MacArthur Story

chapter 10

Brick and Jen decided to spend an evening out with each other since Miranda was going to be at the Shortman's house tonight for their project. They didn't always do this, mostly because they have a seven-year-old daughter, but they went out to a bar tonight. 

"Brick, are you sure it's okay if we stay here?" Jen asked, a little uneasily.

"It'll be fine," Brick put his arm around his wife, he could do it this time without a slap in the face from the fiery redhead he fell in love with. "Besides, we should go out and have some fun too while Miranda does too."

Jen smiled to him. "Yeah, you're right..."

A waitress with frizzy ginger hair with a loose red hair ribbon came to them, she had a Playboy Bunny type outfit that was red as her eyes with a nametag labeled 'Berserk'. "What'll ya have?"

"I'll take my usual of scotch on the rocks." Brick put in.

"Just a pint of liquor for me." Jen told her drink.

Berserk nodded, then yelled out. "BRAT! SCOTCH AND LIQUOR!"

"Alright, alright, sheesh!" Berserk's sister with golden pigtails and dark blue clothes with the same outfit yelled back.

"Have a seat, folks." the sister named Brute told the couple, wearing a dark emerald green outfit with short, frizzy black hair which made her look like Butch from the Rowdyruff Boys. 

Brick and Jen nodded. They went to take their seats. The Powerpunk Girls were summoned by Dr. X a long time ago to dispose of Blossom Utonium, but they never could and since they didn't fulfill his wishes, they never got to GO BACK home in Vilestown. Their father, Opressor Plutonium didn't even bother trying to get them back, he seemed relieved they were gone and appeared to had disowned them. They never even got to pester Bell's counterpart named Bethany Y ever again or her father, Mr. Y. Brat got their drinks together and slid them down the table once Brick and Jen sat down. Brick caught their drinks and decided to sit with the woman he loved very much.

"You okay, ma'am?" Brick asked as he took a sip.

Jen took a sip too, looking into his dark eyes. "I'm fine... Just worried about Miranda... Even if I didn't have them, she has hints of the shadow POWERS from Mom."

"Probably a hidden gene," Brick shrugged. "I was raised by my mother alone and I really got IN TOUCH WITH my feminine side, but wasn't afraid to face Jo Elliot."

Jen looked ahead with a smirk. "Why don't you go tell her yourself?"

"Yeah?" Brick playfully taunted his wife. "Don't think I won't."

"Well," Jen chuckled. "Here's your chance."

Brick blinked, then looked behind him, getting a little nervous. "Oh, hey, Jo..."

The dark blonde woman looked back with a smirk, she still seemed to wear her sweats, but this time had a headband and looked like she had INDEED aged a little with bags under those green eyes. "Nice to see ya guys again, even if I dont' know you that well, Red." she said to Jen.

"Hey, we hung out," Jen shrugged. "I was just busy after school... You know, workin' in the Mall with Caitilin, Nikki, Jonesy, Wyatt, and Jude."

Jo puffed air from her mouth. "That's no real job."

Jen rolled her blue eyes. "Hey, I had to keep myself busy... I wasn't going home that was for sure... Besides, that wasn't even my REAL HOME."

"I know how ya feel," Jo said as she gulped down her whiskey. "I knew from the start Sue and Sylvester weren't my real parents... Didn't even bother comin' to THE WEDDING."
