Momoko's P.O.V.

Mmmm. SO MUCH CANDY! Why does this store have such a large selection? It makes it so hard to pick just one!

"Hey, Kaoru, should I get the cherry jelly beans or the big pink lollypop? Or the gummy octopuses? Or the-"

"Whatever gets you out of here fastest," Kaoru snapped. "Come on Momoko, we've been here for a half an hour already. JUST PICK ONE!"

Just then, our belts started beeping. "NOOOOO! Now I can't get anything!"

"We'll come back later," Kaoru said, tugging at my arm. "Come on!"

We stepped outside the candy shop and saw Miyako, who had been at a clothes shop down the street, running towards us. We waited for her to catch up and then darted into the closest alley.

"What's up professor?" I asked after flipping my compact open.

"It's the Rowdyruff Boys," Kaoru, Miyako, and I let out a collective sigh. The Rowdyruff Boys were the most annoying three boys. There was Brick, the leader, Butch, the toughest, and Boomer, the….well the one that was usually the nicest. Their number of crimes had defiantly decreased, but that was because a social worker finally took the boys away from Mojo and put them in a foster home. Their foster parents made them go to school, and that kept them busy most of the time. "The boys are down at the construction site. Hurry there girls."

And with that I closed my compact and transformed.

Before taking off, I glanced at Bubbles and Buttercup. Bubbles looked somewhat annoyed and ready to kick but, while Buttercup looked withdrawn and a little wary.

Huh, usually it's the opposite. Whatever, as long as we win!

"Let's go girls!" I shouted, and with that, we took off.

Kaoru's P.O.V.

Dammit, Butch, why can't you keep your brothers out of trouble? This is going to be an awkward fight. Before, when we fought the RRB it was so simple. Bubbles fought Boomer, Blossom fought Brick, and I fought Butch, but now? How am I supposed to fight someone I dating? Admittedly, no one really knows that we're dating, and it is going to stay that way. I guess that means Butch and I will just have to fake fight or something. He better take me somewhere nice afterwards…

We approached the construction site. The people working on it were trying to level out some huge crater so they could build a Wall-mart or something. It was full of mounds of dirt and big yellow machines. Perched precariously above the site was a huge cliff. Man, that thing looks like it could topple over any minute now.

Boomer and Brick were messing around in the machines and Butch was standing next to the cliff, looking guilty and uncomfortable.

What's with guys and their fascination with machines? Well, at least Butch isn't participating.

"Stop right now, Rowdyruff Boys!" Blossom yelled.

"Make me!" Brick yelled back.

"You asked for it!" Blossom said and sped off towards Brick's machine. He pressed buttons wildly but the machine did nothing to deter Blossom. Since the machine had no doors, it was easy for her to grab Brick and haul him out of it. Then they began trading attacks. Boomer, seeing his brother's trouble, abandoned his own machine and went to help. However, he was intercepted by Bubbles and they too began to fight. I drifted over to where Butch was standing and leaned against the cliff.

"Sooo, what do we do now?" Butch asked.

"Fake fight, I guess. And next time, keep your brothers out of trouble."

"Hey, it's not my fault! Those two are uncontrollable!" Butch exclaimed.

We rose into the air and threw half-hearted attacks at each other. "Buttercup, what are you doing?" Blossom yelled. "Take him out!"

Just then, a supersonic screech issued from Bubbles. It shattered the glass on the windows of cars and practicly burst my eardrums. I dropped to the ground, clutching my pounding ears.

Looks like Bubbles has found a new power.

There was a moment eerie silence after Bubbles stopped screaming. Then all of Hell broke loose.

Butch's P.O.V.

Bubbles crazy scream had knocked over the cliff. It was now raining huge rocks. One came in between Buttercup and I and we had to backpedal away from each other in order to avoid it. The shock from the scream had loosened Buttercup's grip on her hammer, and when she backpedaled, it was flung from her hand.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she answered, looking ghostly pale.

Rock chunks continued to rain down. "We have to get out of here!" I yelled. I took her hand and began to pull her away from the danger, dodging the boulders as we went.

"Wait!" she shouted, as she pulled her hand away. "My hammer!" And with that, she turned around and went back into the madness. I followed her as close as I could, but dodging the rocks kept him about fifteen feet behind her. Buttercup stood on a fallen rock, looking franticly around for any trace of her hammer. All I could focus on was the extra-large boulder hurtling towards where she stood.

NO! NOT KAORU!

I jetted towards her with more speed than I knew that I possessed as the rock fell closer and closer. I put my hands on her back and shoved and then-

Me: Wow! My heart was pounding just writing this!

Kaoru: WAIT! What happens? AND WHY ARE BUTCH AND I DATING?

Me: Because you're destined for each other, silly!

Kaoru: WHAT?

Momoko: She has a point.

Miyako: Yeah! You two would make a cute couple!

Kaoru: ROOOOAAAR!

Butch: Don't be like that. C'mere, you. (puckers lips)

Kaoru: Gah! Get away from me, creep! (runs)

Me: Anyway, I don't own the PPGZ. Come back later for more!
