Disclaimer: I do not own The Powerpuff Girls they belong to Craig McCracken.

I have changed and fixed many things involving this story and I like it much better now and if you read the original version of it I hope you also find it to be better than it once was. Some changes- The title Before(Pains Of The Past) Now(A Past Not So Easily Forgotten), So it's been renamed, mostly rewritten, and reposted! Also it only went to three chapters before I removed it, but I plan to finish it this time. And it previously had 25 reviews.

Just to let you know that I am fairly certain that there will be little spelling errors but if there are please just tell me kindly and I will fix them. As for proper punctuation there may be many times when I do not put them where they are required. So if my mistakes are in anyway involving commas, semicolons, apostrophes, and the like please do not be to upset with me. Also if anyone would like to be my Beta for that main reason just tell me I would appreciate it.

Now for information on the story itself...

They are physically ten year olds at first but remember that they are emotionally and mentally ten year old boys that are very immature. Even though their bodies have aged their minds have not, so yes they will grow throughout this story and they will be forced to do it faster than most.

The Rowdyruffs Pov only.

Sorry for the extra long author notes I will try not to make them so long next time.

Full Summary: Ten year old Brick, Boomer, and Butch have accidentally come across one of Him's little toys... and of course them being who they are they manage to break it. Only afterwards they find out that it was not a toy like they had originally thought... it was something much more dangerous and very powerful.

Soon they awake to a time very different than their own, a time seven years into the future where they find many things have changed mainly... themselves, they come to realize that they have awoken as teenagers.

If you think that's bad listen to this, in order not to be found out by Him they now have to act like their teenage selves would act. A lot easier said than done seeing as they have no knowledge of anything that's going on around them let alone what has happened in all these years. And here's an interesting question while their in the future playing out their older selves where are the Rowdyruffs of that time period at?

The small summary everyone sees before clicking on the story itself is subject to change, over and over again.

Chapter 1: The Prologue

Brick's POV

"I'm bored..." I say with a sigh as I flop down onto one of Him's fuzzy pink chairs, why pink? I have no idea... maybe he's really a girl or gay... ya he's probably gay. Looking around for something to do but all I see is old chewing gum on the ceiling, soda cans littered around the room, and Boomer's new yo-yo's that's already tangled up.

This is stupid, I need some excitement around here... something to do for fun maybe we should rob a bank? No, we did that this week already...

"Let's go bug those dumb sissy powderpuffs! I'll go look for the bugs!" Boomer says jumping up and running off to find some stupid bugs, sighing I roll my eyes at my idiotic little brother.

"No... I don't feel like bugging them right now..."

No... the only one who still afraid of bugs is Bubbles so Boomer would be the only one having fun if we did that and Blossom's probably still- "Oh, that's right you still can't face your girlfriend after you-" Sitting up immediately from my relaxed position I cut him off with a cold glare and responded in a deadly calm voice.

"She's not my girlfriend..."

Butch just mutters something that sounds an awful lot like a 'ya, right...'

Man he's really asking for it...

"What did you say?"

He just rolls his eyes and replies, "I said your right... she's not your girlfriend, not anymore anyways after what you did..."

Deciding to ignore the last part, I just flop backwards into the chair again and try to relax but it's not easy when one brother is asking for a fight and the other... where did Boomer go off to? Oh, right the bugs... that idiot. Leaning farther back I let my mind wonder to earlier this week, after the bank robbery well attempted robbery... damn. Why do we aways end up losing or retreating from those stupid girls we're stronger, faster, and smarter then them but we still lose...

Closing my eyes I try to just forget about it and maybe take a nap.

'We're the Powerpuff Girls! We never lose!'

'We're good, you're evil, so of course we'll win'

My eyes snap open and I frown at the memories that plague me, Butch is wrong I don't care that Blossom is mad at me, for all I care she can stay mad at me forever.

"So... where's Boomer?"

I ask while looking around the lair of Him... our current father... or you can call him our father of the week, Him and Mojo switch off with us from time to time. So I guess you could say we have two fathers but that sounds kinda I dunno 'wrong' would that make Him the girl of the two he's the one with all the pink afterall, you know I don't really think I want to know, anyways...

"I think that idiot went to look for some bugs." Oh that's right, he's not back yet? Man he gets slower every day. Why did I get stuck with such dumb brothers anyways?

Boomer's POV

After getting back from bug collecting with a bucket I found in Him's bathroom, I stop just around the corner and listen to my brothers talk, I know I shouldn't eavesdrop on them but I do it anyways... all the time actually. But only because Brick never tells me anything important like he does Butch, I think he thinks I'll just mess things up or blab what he says.

Though in doing this I always seem to hear things that make me upset I mean it's one thing to call me stupid when I'm there but when I'm not or when they think I'm not anyways it makes me sad that they'll make fun of me behind my back like that. Oh great now I probably sound all whiney and sissy like those dumb Powerpuffs.

Anyways this time their talking about Brick's counterpart, Blossom I think that's her name I never really call them their names so they're easy to forget... well Butch is the one talking about her.

I know it bothers Butch and all but I don't really care if Brick has a crush or anything like it's yucky but that's up to him as long as I don't have to like one of them too, just as I'm about to walk over to them I hear Butch call me an idiot.

Why do they always do that?

Even when they were talking about something that has nothing to do with me, I still get called names. I'm not even the one who like a Powderpuff and that's pretty smart of me I think! And even though we're older now they still see me the same way as they did when we were really little kids, you'd think they'd treat me a little bit different than when we were five... it's been five years but Butch still treats me like I'm stupid, okay I'm not the smartest out of us but I'm not dumb...

Brick at least doesn't voice it, well not much anyways... but I'm sure he still thinks it as much as Butch says it.

"Fine then who needs them... I'll just go play all by myself!"

I turn around and throw the bucket of bugs at the wall, not really caring about the mess even though Him will have a cow if he sees it. Then the next thing I know there's a noise like the kind you hear when concrete cracks and sure enough I see a tiny crack in the wall.

"...Uh oh..."

Brick's POV

Sitting up I look over towards the hallway of Him's lair, "What was that?" Butch just shrugs, "Well, go see then!"

Do I have to do everything myself? I asked him what it was the natural thing for him to do would be to go and see without me having to tell him to do it. He gets up and starts to complain under his breath about always being bossed around by me. Well, I am the leader so that's what I'm supposed to do... so he can just get over it. As he walks off I get try and get comfortable again, and just as I'm starting to relax and almost doze off out of boredom not from actually being tired, I hear Butch yelling.

Well I guess that means Boomer's back, what's he done this time?

I sit up rather annoyed to have to go and break them up again, from the sounds of it Butch is screaming at Boomer for breaking something... again.

"What did he do this time?"

I walk over and Boomer suddenly says he didn't mean to... I roll my eyes, I know he didn't mean to he never means to but that doesn't fix anything... "Well you did, and what do you think Him will do when he gets back from his morning jog?" I can tell Butch's upset... but then again when one of us gets punished we usually all do.

"Something's broke again." It's more of a statement than a question since I already guessed what had happened in the first place. Barely containing a yawn I look for a broken item, this is so boring and it happens all the time... though I don't see what's been broken.

Why doesn't anything new and fun happen around here once and a while... it's always the same thing over and over again. "Yes somethings broken! Look at that wall!! I have no idea how we will cover a crack that big!"

Well it's not that big... but it's big enough to get us some serious form of punishment, probably like not eating for two weeks or even worse making us assist Him in one of his plans... they never have a good ending for us. I really don't know how to hide that one either... he's bound to notice it as soon as he walks through here. And if we covered it with something he'd notice that too, sometimes he's to observant.

"Danm Boomer... I'm not in the mood to deal with Him's wrath this early today." I whack him upside his head.

"Oww, that hurt!"

Ignoring him whine and Butch glare I walk over to the wall, maybe I could push it back together. What the hell... am I stepping in?

"Boomer what the hell are all these bugs doing over here?" I turn to glare at him and he replies, "Er... well I dropped them..." Ya then why are half of them dead, bugs won't die if you drop them, "What did you step on them too... there all swashed..." Even the ones that I hadn't stepped on. It was easy to tell he was lying he's always been an easy one to read, but I decide not to go into it with Butch around. It's obvious he threw the bucket at the wall, that's what cracked it and killed the bugs... why he did that though I have know idea.

"Whatever it doesn't really matter... I'm gonna see if I can pull this back to-hey... what's this?" Something is in between the wall, maybe this wall opens up like this and wasn't broken... that means Him has kept something hidden back here but what could it be?

"What's what?" Butch asks while trying to get closer without stepping on the bugs, probably not wanting to have to clean them of his shoes like I have to, damn Boomer I should make him clean them.

"Hey, what's that?" Boomer asks once his close enough to see it too, "I'm not sure... why don't you get it out of there so we can see it better."

"Why me?"

Butch smirks and says, "If you don't we'll let you take the fall for the wall all by yourself when Him gets back." I just nod and Boomer says, "That's not fair..." Though Boomer should know that we'll all be in trouble anyways, he never was much of a thinker though so I doubt he'll realize that fact.

"Tough! Now get it!" I say giving him an order, I am the leader afterall.

Boomer frowns but sticks his hand in between the crack to grab it, "It's stuck..."

"Well then pull harder!" I say starting to get annoyed, "I'm trying... it won't come out though."

Butch then pushes him out of the way, "Wuss, fine I'll do it!"

Boomer looks a bit upset he better not cry or anything, but I don't pay much attention to him since I want to see what's so important that Him has it hidden. Something personal maybe, or maybe another stupid plan to rid him of the Powerpuff Girls. We watch Butch struggle while trying to pull it out for a few minutes and then Boomer says, "What's wrong, I thought you where gonna pull it out?" He was the one with a smirk now, Butch looked pissed off as he let go and I just roll my eyes as they start their arguing, idiots! The both of them, I have to do everything!

"Both of you are morons, move it!"

Shoving them both out of the way I get a good grip of whatever it is and I pull it in one quick motion and it's out...

Falling backwards I land on my butt, they made it seem tough I shouldn't have pulled so hard, but at least I got it though, "See, that wasn't so hard!"

"Well... well it's only cause I loosened it up for ya!" Butch says and Boomer rolls his eyes while asking the question we all want to figure out, "What is it?"

I looks like a crystal ball only blue not clear... and it feels like it's rubber, "Dunno... I wonder if it bounces?" I pounder outlound and Butch just snactches it away, "Well, let's find out!" Before I can say anything like 'don't you might break it' he throws it at the ground and sure enough it bounces right back up and he catches it.

"Well, that's just dumb... why would Him hide a bouncy ball?" Boomer asks and Butch mutters something like 'You're one to talk.' "He's right though... Him wouldn't hide it if it wasn't important... or maybe powerful." I say while staring at it, "Oh come on, since when is Boomer ever right about anything... besides it just looks like a dumb ball to me and it bounces." To prove his point he just tosses it at the ground again, but this time I catch it as it bounces back up.

"Maybe it's magical!" Boomer says, Butch rolls his eyes, and I just stare at it... well we could ask Him but he'd probably get mad, take it away and punish us, but then again there's no way of knowing if Him would get mad it doesn't even seem like it's all that important anyways. If only there was a way to know his reaction to us finding this thing whatever it is, because if we knew I would know how to handle this situation better. Then the ball starts to glow many different colors and gets really bright, "What did you do?" Boomer asks and I reply, "I have no idea!"

I let go of it and back up and floats in the air and with one final bright reddish flash it starts to show images. "What's going on?" Butch asks, and Boomer smiles and says, "I was right! Ha! See it is magical!!" It's showing Him on there and he's yelling at us... it has no sound, but then I see Him snatch away the ball from Butch's hands and then the images stop and it just drops to the ground like a normal ball only that's anything but normal.

"Okay... so this thing showed us Him... I don't get it." Butch looks confused and Boomer walks up to it and starts poking at it.

"I liked it better when it was shiny."

Butch hits Boomer upside the head and calls him girly, then they get into another verbal fight. Something like 'he would make a tougher girl than he is a boy' or something of the sort, I wasn't really paying attention. This thing, whatever it is had all my attention right now. Though if those two would shut up for a minute maybe I could actually hear myself think.

"Will you two shut up for a mintue!!" I say almost shouting at them, "I think I might know what this thing does..."

It's a long shot but it's worth a try.

Butch and Boomer ask at the same time, "What?"

"Boomer... I want you to ask it a question?"

Boomer looks at me funny but I'm the leader what I say goes and Boomer would probably follow any order that sounds strange even if I wasn't, "Okay, Do you like cheeseburgers or hamburgers better mr. bouncy ball?" Butch looks at both of us like we're insane and I just smack my face and count to three slowly in my head to try and clam down before I say anything else, I've been known to lose my temper and say things I would rather not have said.

"No... I meant, oh nevermind I'll do it! let me think, okay here's one.. who wins in the next fight we have with those stupid powerpuffs?"

I have a feeling I know the outcome but seeing it before hand would help... the ball starts glowing and lifts back up into the air and the images of the six of us fighting appear.

"Wait... you think this thing is showing us the future... so that means this fight hasn't happened yet?"

I nod slowly while watching as we fight and then the fight ends and we end up retreating again... damn it, I should've asked to see something else. Why is it that we always lose when we are so much better than they are... to bad nothing can answer that question. "Damn... that's depressing, but I know what'll cheer me up! Let's see the next time Brick and his counterpart talk!"

I roll my eyes and say, "It doesn't let you hear things stupid... it only shows images."

He smirks and adds, "That's all I need to see to know if she's still mad at you."

I don't really wanna watch but since I'm curious I look over and well it looks like she's still mad, but when isn't she? I'd know that look anywhere she's about to yell at me... I was going to get her a new one... but now I think I've changed my mind, she looked stupid with it anyways, so in a way I did her a favor. "This is stupid!! It was just a dumb ribbon!" I say while glaring at the ball then the images go off and Butch and Boomer laugh and take turns asking it stupid pointless things like, 'What'll I eat for breakfast tomorrow?' and 'Will anyone come to Princesses birthday next month?'

I can't believe these two out of all the things we can learn and their asking that kind of stuff.

"Shut it you two... with as much as you two are asking it, it'll probably break, besides if you're gonna ask something ask someting useful!" Boomer looks annoyed and asks what, "Umm, like where will be... seven years from now?"

Boomer shurgs and says, "Why would I wanna know something so far away... besides I'd just forget it anyways."

Butch laughs and says, "You don't remember half the stuff we did last week!" He glares at Butch, "Hey! I do so!"

While those two continue on with whatever it is they're talking about I tune them out and watch the ball glow and it's a lot brighter than usual... well I don't know what's usual for it but it's still a heck of a lot brighter than when they were asking it questions. It starts to shine so bright that both Boomer and Butch look over at it as it shows really fast flashing pictures of the future... "Guess I wasn't specific enough and now it's trying to show a whole year that's seven years from now in a couple of minutes... but I can't catch anything that's going on, it's going way to fast."

Not even with my prefect eyesight does anything I'm seeing look like anything but one giant blur, even if I do catch a face or something it doesn't look familiar nothing does. "See, now don't our questions seem better than yours... I mean at least we could see ours." Boomer says, and I back up a little after Butch says.

"Hey guys... that thing isn't supposed to spin like that is it...?" Boomer adds, "And I don't think it's supposed to be this bright and shiny... do you think we broke it?"

"Wouldn't be the first time we broke one of Him's toys..." Butch says and I reply, "Ya, but I really don't think this is one of his toys..."

I hope we didn't break it, Him would kill us... also I really hope it doesn't blow up or something, because right now it kind of reminds me of those bombs Butch got of the internet last year. Then the light shines so bright I have to close my eyes or I might go blind and then it feels like something exploded only without any of the sound, the force of it is strong enough to knock me back off of my feet and I hit something hard... then it's not so bright anymore.

"Brick... Brick! Wake up already, would ya."

Oww, my head really really hurts...

"Oww, what the hell happened?" I look up and see this blonde guy leaning over me... who the- "Boomer?" Sitting up fast I forget all about the pain that I was currently in.

"Ya... at least I think so... I mean I don't look like me, well the me the last time I looked anyways... and you don't look like the you from the last time I looked either I mean..." I'm to confused to deal with his stupidity right now.

"Boomer, shut up I think he gets it!"

I look up to see where that familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from and sure enough it's...

"Butch?" I ask not really sure, "This is all your fault you know!" Yup, that's Butch...

"How the hell is this all my fault?" I ask not seeing where he was going with this that is until he says, "You just had to ask what the future was like seven years from now... er then and now we're here which is then!" I look a little confused about the 'now', 'here', and 'then' thing for a minute there he sounded kinda like Boomer.

Just what I need two Boomers, I think my headache just worsened.

"Wait... this isn't all my fault!"

They where asking it questions too, there is no way I am taking all the blame for this. "Butch is right, I think so too!" He says joining in with Butch on blaming me, what the hell is it gang up on your leader and blame him day? Maybe it's all just some really whacked up dream, ya that's it I fell asleep earlier in Him's lair and now I'm dreaming... well dream or not I'm still not taking on all the blame for this.

"Shut up you two are just as respon-" But before I can go any farther I hear another voice that sounds somewhat familiar that causes me to look up to where it came from. "Well, this is something you don't see everyday... the Rowdyruff Boys arguing, what's the matter having an off day?"

I can't believe it I see three teenage girls floating in the air... wait... could that be? No way! The Powerpuff Girls!

Well I hope you enjoyed the prologue, I changed somethings but for the most part the first chapter is still the same. The next chapter will have more changes in it than this one did, and I'm already working on it, so expect it next weekend or maybe sooner if I gets some nice reviews for this chapter.

Next chapter preview- "You cannot change the future because there is nothing to change. The future is not here yet."
