Prologue

Powerpuff! Powerpuff!

Blossom, commander and the leader!

Bubbles, she is the joy and the laughter!

Buttercup, and she's the toughest fighter!

RowdyRuffs save the day!–– wait, WHAAAT?

The City of Townsville has once again been saved by the RowdyRuff boys!

Yes, you're reading this correctly! The RowdyRuff Boys! A day that we all thought for sure that was going to end in disaster was soon saved by our new set of young heroes. Oh, what would we do without them? I'm pretty sure judging by that crowd the people of Townsville feel just the same as I do. Could you believe that just a few years ago that they were once one of the most fearsome group of villains out there? Wow, how times has changed! With their leader's quick wit, they were able to put a stop to not one but three enormous spider monsters in a mere couple of hours! I wonder how Brick does it man. This has been the fourth day in a row the Rowdy Ruff's saved the day! Makes me wonder how the PowerPuff Girls feel about this?

Blossom didn't like him. Blossom didn't like him at all, matter fact she despised him. Him and the rest of his brothers…well maybe not the blonde one. He was somewhat tolerable. Stupid, yes but tolerable. Actually he was the easiest to deal with unlike the rest of his moronic, unbearable brothers, let Blossom tell you. She still couldn't see how her younger sister could be the least bit attracted to him but Bubbles will be ehhhBubbles.

Even though I do have to say, it could've been worse. At least none of her siblings has any interest in the obsidian haired barbarian. Now that I think about it, his name does suit him so. Hmm…yes, Butch. What a perfect name for the perfect barbarian. Blossom should be thankful though. At least she didn't have to deal with him besides the annoying cat calls he loved to pester her with every now and then between classes just to piss off Buttercup–– AH YES, Buttercup. How Butch loved to get under her skin anyway he could. What does he get out of it besides bruises and broken bones? The world may never know but at least he wasn't Blossom's problem.

But the red head, oooohhh the red head–– or is it copper? It has such a bright orange hue to it. I wonder what conditioner he uses? Has to be natural. Chemicals would just muck it up––

"EXCUSE ME!"

cough…cough, ahem. Right, back to the story. Where was I? Brick, the bane of Blossom's existence. The person she loathes the most and that's pretty serious considering she doesn't really hate anyone. Ok, besides Princess but that's pretty understandable. Everyone hates her! But I think Brick pretty much has her beat nowadays. Surprising?Maybe not.

I can't say I blame the cunning heroine. If I've been enemies with someone since I was five, I don't think we would've been holding hands and singing kumbaya either. Even though I do think Blossom and Princess were enemies since then too.

"No, Leader Girl here definitely hates his ass more."

Oh! Um, thank you Buttercup. I should really wrap this up and get to the real reason behind Blossoms rage. Shall I? well let's see, everyone knows how with age there comes change. Whether it be with change to a person's body like for example, the Powerpuff Girls and RowdyRuff Boys lost their bug eyed features and grew toes and fingers. By the way, don't ask them about that. It really wasn't a good time for all of them. Eh he he…but yes, with age comes change. Puberty took its course and besides all the painful and disgusting parts, it actually did some good! Well according to their peers at school it did. But enough with all of that! Back to change. Just as how change effects a person physically, it can also affect them mentally. In Blossoms case, her mental hasn't yet adjusted to the RowdyRuff's sudden change in character quite yet.

You guys know the saying 'things change, people change' like–– a person's status from being a villain to a now reformed, upstanding, justice serving, perfect citizen, kind of change that sometimes does a better job than the Powerpuff Girls.

"HEY!"

I'm so sorry girls but you have to admit it. You guys have really been slacking lately in the crime fighting department but you're still mine and the city's number one girls though! XOXO!

"Save it." Buttercup growled. "I'm going the fuck back home."

Bubbles sighed in defeat turning around to leave with her raven haired sister. Maybe if we're lucky no one would notice that we've come. She thought but highly doubted luck would choose to be on their side today. Considering that fact that the odds weren't so ever in their favor this whole week that is. She was about to call out to a seething Blossom when, right on que, the stars, the RowdyRuff Boy's eyes fell on them.

"Just our luck." She groaned. The bubbly blonde wasn't so bubbly at the moment as she could feel Buttercups rage behind her. This isn't going to go well.

"Ahh, our lovely friends, The Powerpuff Girls has finally joined the party!" Butch called out over the still cheering crowd. I don't know if it's a triplet thing or not but if you were just close enough you could hear all three of the sisters groan simultaneously. Still, not one person bothered to look the girl's way until the boys started to make their way over to them.

Blossom's face remained impassive.

Buttercup didn't even bother to hide her scowl.

Bubbles just forced a smile.

This is getting way too common. It should be THEM the crowd is cheering for, not these– these ASSHOLES! Blossom didn't curse often but when she did, it was always in her head or when she was really ticked and right now, these were one of those times.

"It's a shame you guys couldn't join the fun. It would've been nice to have a helping hand." Brick spoke with a sly smile. You could hear Butch and Boomer snickering behind him as cameras flashed and reporters began screaming for their attention.

Blossom ignored them. Not like they were there for her and her sisters.

"oh, really? Doesn't look like you guys needed our assistance much." She didn't want Brick to think he got a rise out of her. Nope! Their eyes never left each other. Yes he a good head taller than her but what kind of heroine would she be if she left something as little as height intimidate her? Buttercup must've felt the same way because her scowl never left Butch's. while he just wore a stupid grin. Idiot.

"Maybe not with the battle but the cleaning is a hassle. I know you girls are at least great at that still, right?" And just like that, war has started.

Buttercup lunged.

Bubbles tackled her.

Butch and Boomer were cackling.

And Blossom gave Brick a glare so fierce, it would've scared Satan himself.

"You sexist PIG! If all of these people weren't here I––" Blossom ten seconds from cursing Brick's ass to hell. All she needed was ten more measly seconds but nook, someone just had to interrupt!

"POWERPUFF GIRLS!"

"WHAT!" Blossom turned her harsh glare on the reporter. Poor guy flinched, taken back from the girl that's supposed to be 'everything nice' outburst.

Crap. Blossom has officially screwed up now. Now who knows what these reporters are going to say about her tomorrow. Shit, shit, shit!

All Brick could do was smirk. The ever miss perfect puff has fucked up majorly right in front of the whole city. Ahh, what joy. At this point the girls are just making things easier for him and his brothers. All the years that him and his brothers were the ones being ridiculed and hated, even though for good reasons but he wonders how it feels for the girls to be on the receiving end. Being that the littlest things like, lashing out could turn things around for them.

I should've thought of this years ago instead of listening to that deformed ape and faggot demon.

If no one was paying the girls any attention before well then they sure as hell are now. Like clockwork cameras flashed and brows were raised. You could hear things like,

"Is that Blossom?"

"Why is she yelling at Brick like that?"

"They really need to put a leash on Buttercup."

"You think she would be able to control herself better now that they're college."

"I'm so sorry. I–I didn't mean to frighten you Mr. Roginsky." She recognized the poor guy as a reporter from Townsville news. He's not much older than her and he's proven to be real sweetheart. One of the only reporters that don't give her and her sisters a hard time about their jobs and now she just reared her ugly head at him. Oh god.

Now she just embarrassed herself not only in front of the city but Brick too– not that she cares. Ok, maybe a little. His smug smile is really started to piss her off. Keep calm Blossom, he's only trying to throw you off your game. He just wants a reaction out of you. Just relax. Blossom straightened herself out and stood straight. She was not about this buffoon ruin her and her sister's reputations like this. Screw that!

Blossom felt a hand on her shoulder. "Blossom and us have been real stressed out lately with exams and sports. We haven't been acting like our usual selves, so you're going to have to forgive us if you may. Especially for Blossom and Butter's sake here. School and soccer has really been kicking our butts! So if you'll pl––" Bubbles was just about to seal the deal. She had the crowd hanging onto her every word just until..

"That's still no fucking excuse." Irritation was clear as day on little boy blue's face. Well there goes our only chance. Buttercup thought with a groan in the back.

It almost looked as if Bubbles neck snapped when she turned to glare at Boomer. If she had a crush on Boomer before she sure as hell doesn't have one now. "Excuse me? What do you mean Boomer?" Bubbles damn near hissed. Ooo! Bubbles is pissed! This is going to be good!"

The lines in Boomer's head got deeper. Annoyed obviously, but why?

"We've been busting our asses for almost a straight week now picking up you guys slack like we don't have school and teams to worry about too! So don't go using that school bullshit as an excuse Bubbles." Boomer vouched, glare hardening. He's in no mood today seeing that his clothes are the most torn, he probably took the worse beating.

Bubbles had to fight to roll her eyes. She really didn't feel like arguing with Boomer right now and giving these people something to talk about in the morning news tomorrow but she wasn't about to let him best her. She huffed.

"That's true but we're at least trying. There's no need for you three to throw it in our faces though!" Boomer scoffed.

"Well you aren't trying hard enough. If we can do it then so could ya'll." Good one Boom. Brick thought, pleased with his youngest brother. And here everyone thinks you're stupid, little do they know…

"Besides…you girls been doing this way longer than us." Butch said eyeing each of them with a small smirk. The crowd was eating this up. Everyone was quiet anticipating his next words. Butch gave the girls a devilish grin before softening and turning to the crowd, arms outstretched. "what about you guys? Doesn't the city's people think it's ludicrous how former villains are doing a better job than it's long term heroines?"

And the crowd went off.

"He does have a point."

Blossom's draw dropped. Did he just use the word 'ludicrous'…correctly?

"That's right! Powerpuff Girls where were you today?"

Bubbles swallowed hard. Now what?

"And the rest of the week!"

Buttercup was about to lose her shit. She wanted to punch the smug looks off all of their faces! How dare they! She had enough of this back and fourth game between them. They've dealt with it all through middle school and high school and she'll be DAMNED if she's going to have it right now in front of the whole fucking town.

The crowd grew louder and louder by the second. Buttercup took a glance at each of her panicked sisters. Bubbles was nervously sweating, taking a step back little by little. Blossom didn't look any better. It looked as if she had cotton mouth, frozen in place. She looked clueless what to do for like the first time ever and that made the spitfire girl even madder. How dare they?

"The RowdyRuff Boys have a point! Are the PowerPuff Girls even our protectors anymore?"

"Excuses after damn excuses! They're not kids anymore! I'm tired of it!"

Buttercup started to shake. Buttercups shaking was as equivalent to the Butch's twitching, so you know this wasn't good. Fuck this!

They've been protecting this God forsaken city since they were five! And this is how they treat them? Buttercup didn't have to save the day all the damn time before bedtime. Wasn't like the mayor was paying for them for this shit. Yea, a few scholarships were okay and everything but was it worth it if they were just going to get treated like shit and replaced by scum at the end of the day?

"The PowerPuff Girls should just retire and let the RowdyRuff Boys takeover"

"They're obviously more qualified for the job right now!"

There was a series of "Yea's" afterwards and the crowd roared.

Brick looked unamused as he eyed the Puff's. Pathetic. He was growing tired of bickering with the girls even more than Buttercup was with them. Plus, even though he didn't show it, he was growing irritated with the noisy crowd. Brick was great at everything but patience was not one of his strong traits even if he managed better than his brothers. Yes, today did end good, the city is more on him and his brothers side and he got to piss off the Puff's but the cost of it all? He couldn't hear his damn self-think.

Brick stared into the crowd. What gullible people they were. If he knew that they were this easy to persuade anyone would be able take over. Then again, they did have a senile old man as a mayor before. No wonder the girls always had to save the day, these people were idiots.

He shared a glance with his brothers. They looked more than ready to go, especially Boomer. He always did hate crowds, was never really his thing. Butch began to twitch just as he noticed Buttercup's shaking. Counterparts. Brick shook his head. Definitely time to go. Brick went to grab Butch before he attempted to explode and raised his other arm towards the crowd.

"That's enough!" He yelled and immediately the crowd silenced. Now let me end this. "Don't be upset with the PowerPuff Girls." This made the girls snap out of whatever that was going through their heads. They stared at Brick quizzically while he smiled back.

"We didn't mean to cause any harm with what was said, so please don't be angry with them." Brick shook his head once again and chuckled. "we've just been under a lot of stress lately too just as Bubbles shared. I guess it just got to Butch and Boomer that's all. But we completely understand the PowerPuff Girls reasoning."

Bubbles eyes narrowed.

Boomer scoffed.

Butch grunted.

"The PowerPuff Girls will not retire and we will not be taking their place. So please respect them. They're heroes just as we are. Were both here to protect this city even if our lives are on the line. This is our home. Plus, it's good that theirs two super powered teams to help out around here. Especially since we both have other responsibilities that we have on the side like, school for example. Now me and my brothers will be on our way––as you seen, we've had a long day."

And with that said the RowdyRuff's floated in the air.

The crowd heard what Brick had said but that doesn't mean that they'll listen. Maybe to some of it but it would still take some time for them to completely digest what he had said. This is Townsville were talking about.

Before the boys could leave behind just a streak of their signature colors Brick turned to give the girls one last look, more specifically Blossom.

He gave her a wicked smirk that raised the hair on the back of her neck. "Enjoy the rest of your day PowerPuff's." Not a second later he was gone.

"I hate him. I really, really hate him…"
