'It has been 11 years since we were born. 11 years of fighting and protecting the place that we love, our home: Townsville. It was just the same as before; all of our enemies were still trying to destroy our city, to destroy us. However, like forever, they had been failing miserably. We weren't really worried about them anymore. We had defeated them hundreds of times and will keep doing that, because that is our duty as the heroes, as The Powerpuff Girls.'
"Come on Buttercup! We're going to be late!" the auburn haired girl shouted at her black haired sister; who, like usual, was still sleeping.
"5 minutes..." the sleeping sister muttered.
"Now." Blossom said as she pulled the blanket off of her sister. Buttercup tried to pull the blanket back but Blossom wouldn't let her.
Buttercup groaned. "I'm up! I'm up! Go away now."
"Really Buttercup," Blossom said and walked down from their room to the dining table, where her blonde sister was placing the breakfast. She smiled at Blossom as she sat down on the chair.
"Is she up? " asked Bubbles.
"Almost," Blossom sighed.
Just as Blossom took a bite of her pancake Professor came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and smiled at his daughters.
Buttercup walked out from their room, taking slow steps while on the stairs and trotted towards the table, rubbing her eyes.
"Good morning girls...so, ready for school?" The Girls nodded. "So, sophomores already, huh? Time sure flies..." the Professor sighed. "It feels like just yesterday you girls were running around and fighting each other...and wrecking my lab...and blowing up the house," he said as he sighed again. "And someday you will leave me all alone in this big house..." the Professor said as he sighed yet again.
"What are you talking about, old man?" Buttercup said suddenly becoming more aware of her surroundings.
Bubbles giggled and Blossom, who smiled at Professor, said "We're not leaving you, Professor. Not now, not ever."
"Ah, but you have to Blossom," he said while looking a little gloomy.
"Uh...Professor?" Bubbles said "Are you okay?"
"Oh yes, I'm perfectly fine. Better than ever actually," he smiled. "Now let's go or you're going to be late."
They reached their school on time, despite the fact that when they had almost reached school, they had to go all the way back to get Bubbles' bag –which she forgot. They got out of the car and said goodbye to Professor. Buttercup could hear Professor saying from behind "Don't cause trouble like last year!" Buttercup rolled her eyes at Professor.
She looked over her shoulder to see if her two sisters were coming. Then she looked around in hopes of finding a familiar face; she noted that there were a lot of students there. Must be freshmen, she thought. She grinned at the thought that she would probably rag them with Mitch later. Her face beamed all of a sudden.
"Robin!" Buttercup shouted, running after her friend, leaving her two sisters behind. "You came to Townsville High!"
Robin had just transferred to the school. She went to England with her parents when they graduated from Junior High and had just gotten back.
"Girls! Great to see you." the brunette replied.
"Hey! Glad you could make it here," Blossom said.
Robin smiled in return. "Yeah, me too."
"Robin! I'm so happy to see you!" Bubbles said as she swung her arms around Robin.
"Bubbles!" said Robin, giggling, she hugged her back.
"So...did you find any cool guys this summer?" Robin asked the sisters.
Bubbles giggled "Oh, you have no idea!"
"Ugh...please spare me," Buttercup muttered, making a face. Blossom sighed.
Bubbles ignored her and continued to talk to Robin about her boyfriend Mack.
Buttercup noticed a few students, whispering among themselves. She didn't recognize their face. This continued for sometime and Buttercup got irritated after a while.
What is wrong with them? She thought. Then she realized that it was probably them the freshmen were whispering about. Having superheroes at one's school was not really a common thing.
"Talking about your petty normal life?" a taunting voice said from behind. "Well, my daddy bought a beach house just for me and I spent my summer there."
Buttercup turned around to face the wannabe Powerpuff with her two minions standing beside her. "Must be amazing," she said unenthusiastically.
"It was," Princess stated. "Better than your little . . . run-down neighbourhood."
"What did you-"
"I'm sure," Blossom pressed, giving Buttercup a warning look before she would start any kind of fight, "that it was great Princess."
"Hm," she said curtly. "Those are nice."
"Huh?" Bubbles asked confused, when she noticed Princess pointing at her boots. "Oh . . . thank you."
"I have better," Princess said uninterestedly.
"If you'll please excuse me . . . I have better things to do," Princess said walking away. "It was awful to see you."
"Same here pigtails," Buttercup remarked in her raspy voice.
Bubbles frowned. "I have pigtails too Buttercup,"
"Anyway, I need to find Mitch and guys. Have you seen him?" she directed her question to Robin.
"No, I haven't..." Robin said as her voice trailed off.
Buttercup nodded. "Must be playing football or something...See you later!"
She parted with her sisters and went to the football field to find her friends. She spotted them from a distance and went over to them. They noticed her coming towards them.
"Hey!" Mike said.
"Mikey! What's up? Have you seen the asshole?" she asked the boys as she noticed Mitch wasn't there.
"Yeah, I saw him walking off the field with a cheer leader." one said with a shrug.
"Surprising...anyway, how's the practice going? Heard the big one's coming up." She asked.
"Coach is killing us...he's making us work our asses off," The running back, Craig, informed.
"Heh," Buttercup laughed and shook her head. "I'm going to go find Mitch and you guys work your asses off."
Buttercup walked away to find her best friend. She walked towards the bleachers and went behind them; she heard some moaning sounds and furrowed her brows. As she peeked from the corner she saw Mitch making out with a girl –presumably the cheer leader.
"Mitch!" she yelled. "What the fuck are you doing?!"
Mitch jumped at the sudden yelling and turned around; sighed as he saw Buttercup standing there. "What the fuck are you doing?!" he shouted back.
"You're supposed to be practicing!" she yelled back.
"I was taking a break!" he defended.
"Oh okay," she said crossing her arms. "Doesn't this require more energy?" She glared at the cheerleader and she picked it up as her cue to walk away.
"Wait hey! Where are you going?!" Mitch called out to the girl but she was already gone.
"And here I was having a good time," he said shrinking to his knees and burying his face in the palm of his hands.
"You're such a loser," Buttercup said with a face of disgust.
"AH, well sorry for being such a loser," he snapped. "Unlike you I have to work hard in order to maintain my popularity."
"Like you're popular to begin with," Buttercup said with a laugh.
"Don't push it, woman," he said in a low voice pointing at Buttercup.
"Or what?" Buttercup challenged, puffed up her chest and held her chin up.
Mitch sighed as his arm dropped to his side. "I can't even threaten you . . ."
"Damn right," she said, blowing air through her nose in triumph. "Anyway, did you notice the innocent little freshmen at the entrance?" she said smiling devilishly.
"Of course," he said. "So I assume that we are going to give them a first day to remember?"
"Hell yeah,"
Blossom put her extra books in the locker and closed it; jumped as she saw someone standing right beside her.
"Is it just me or are there really little kids over here?" Blossom's friend Randy said. Randy was a freakishly tall, muscular guy. His height actually annoyed him. "I mean like come on! Can't they be a least bit," he said as he raised his hand and waved it. "You know."
Blossom shook her head and motioned him to follow as she started to walk away, "Not everyone has the ability to be as tall as you."
"You call this ability?" he said, exasperatedly as a freshmen bumped into him; the 'kid' looked up to him and exclaimed. "Whoa! It's a giant!"
Randy grabbed the boy's head and bent down to look him in the face; looking obviously pissed. "What was that?"
That was enough to make the boy wet his pants –although he didn't.
"Stop it Randy!" Blossom snapped as she removed his hand from the boy's head. The boy dashed away from Randy as fast as he could.
"You really did scare him," she sighed.
"He called me a giant!" he said in astonishment. "Anyway, you're taking APs?"
Blossom shook her head. "I don't really think I can . . ."
"Stop right there!" Randy said suddenly and Blossom looked back in confusion. "You . . . you are saying that you can't. The leader of the Powerpuff Girls who save Townsville from any potential danger, the one who plans it all, the elder sister, the smart one . . . " Blossom sighed in an amused way as she listened to Randy list off all the great things that she is.
"Yes, I'm saying that I can't," she said after Randy had finished listing all her nicknames along with the achievements she obtained. "Besides I have time to think about it since I can do that in the junior year too."
"But you're Blossom!"
"Doesn't make a difference,"
"It does, though," he responded.
"Doesn't matter . . . let's get to class," she said. "Bubbles must be waiting."
"Psh . . . she'll probably be off with her boyfriend, and be like 'What class? What sisters?'"
Blossom generated another sigh and walked to class with her friend.
"You should take APs though,"
Bubbles walked through the hallways of her school as she made her way to her class. Every guy turned to look at her when she walked past them. She didn't notice when boys looked at her. It was safe to say that she was the most popular girl in school. Her sisters were quite popular too but Bubbles was different. She was nice to everyone and everyone was nice to her. That was another thing that she didn't know that she was popular.
She found Blossom and walked to her. "I can't find Mack,"
"You have a class to attend Bubbles," Blossom said as Randy chuckled behind her.
"God, you should've seen his face!" Mitch said as he tried desperately to stop his laugh.
"That...was...fucking...awesome!" Buttercup said huffing. "I didn't see his face though."
"Language, Buttercup!" Blossom said as she glared at the two of them; they eventually stopped laughing.
"Whatever," Buttercup said sighing in content, wiping her forehead with her sleeve.
"What did you guys do now?" Randy asked raising his eyebrows.
"What didn't we do?!" Mitch exclaimed. "Okay okay I'll tell . . . first we took a bucket of water filled with ice and then we went to the roof . . ."
"We saw three guys walking right beneath there . . ." she continued. "And I think you can guess what we did next."
Randy laughed at that. "You guys actually did that! Those guys must be freezing!"
"Are you stupid?!" Blossom snapped.
"It was awesome though," Buttercup said.
"Buttercup!" Blossom said angrily. While Buttercup only sighed and looked around muttering 'buzz-kill'.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you! What were you thinking?!"
"Come on Bloss, it was just a prank," Buttercup said.
Blossom sighed.
"Chill out, Blossy." Randy said and Blossom sighed again.
"Okay fine...but! Don't do it again." With that Blossom went into the class; Randy trailing behind her, mouthed 'Good job' to the mischievous duo.
"Nothing better than a cold bath in the month of September," she smiled triumphantly. "Right Bubbles?!"
Bubbles only shook her head.
They sat inside their classroom and waited for the teacher to come. Bubbles was excited to see Robin. She really hoped that she was in her class.
They all stopped talking and looked at the front as their teacher walked in. The teacher placed her things on the table and began talking. First, she introduced herself and then paused for a bit.
"We have transfer students that will be joining us today." She said as she motioned at the door. Bubbles got excited hearing that. Blossom furrowed her brows when her teacher said 'students', because only Robin was the transfer student.
Three students walked inside the class. None of them were Robin and they weren't someone she had expected to see either. She heard a few girls gasp as the three boys stood in front of the class.
It can't be, she thought; but then she looked closely, and her eyes widened. The boy on the right was a blonde and had dark blue eyes dark like the ocean; the one on the left had spiky black hair with forest green eyes and the one in the middle: he had fiery red hair covered with a red cap put on backwards and his eyes were as red as a devil's cloak.
She was about to say something aloud Buttercup stood up and yelled, "What's going on?"
The three guys turned their attention to the green Puff; after a moment of staring, Butch responded first.
"A transfer,"
"Buttercup . . . sit down," Blossom muttered to her angry sister.
"I'm not going to!" she roared and Bubbles winced.
"Buttercup! We're in class!" Blossom warned.
Buttercup didn't care that they were in class and she wanted to tell Blossom that; she just wanted to make the Boys get out of her face. She looked around the class and saw that everyone had their eyes on her and the Boys.
"What?!" she snapped as she shot the student a bitter look and sat down with a huff. The teacher sighed and told the boys to take their seats. They walked to the end of the class and Butch smirked at Buttercup as he walked past her – receiving a growl as he did so.
The Boys simply sat on their seats and listened to the teacher.
What in the world just happened? Bubbles was thinking.
They hadn't seen the Rowdyruff Boys in 9 years. After their last fight, the boys had disappeared from the face of this planet. The Girls hadn't thought much about this. They had too many enemies to care about this; the Boys were a threat to them, yes, but they always had managed to defeat them.
The class ended and the girls dashed out of the class before they had any interactions with the boys; that was the last thing they needed.
"Well? What now?" Bubbles asked her sisters cautiously.
"I think we should talk to the Headmistress," Blossom said.
"Would that be of any help?"
"I'm not sure . . ." Blossom's voice trailed off as she started thinking.
"Only one way to find out," growled Buttercup as she rushed towards the Headmistress' office.
The other two exchanged a look and followed their sister. Buttercup slammed the door open and started, "How could you do this?!"
Headmistress, who was working on something, looked up at Buttercup and said. "Uh . . . I don't quite understand Buttercup,"
"How could you them in?!" Buttercup snapped.
"Let who in?"
"You know what I'm talking about," Buttercup paused. "The Rowdyruff Boys."
"Ah, yes. I had a feeling you'd be coming." She said as she nodded at the other two girls standing at the door.
"Good Morning, Miss- oh I mean Headmistress Keane." Bubbles said, flashing a sweet smile.
"Good Morning to you too, Bubbles." She replied, smiling.
"Headmistress Keane, I'm really sorry about Buttercup's behaviour and I'm sure she is too." Blossom said, looking at Buttercup.
"No I'm not," was Buttercup's reply which earned her a glare from Blossom.
The Headmistress cleared her throat, "I know what you girls are here for and it is not that much of a matter, really. I don't get why you are being so frantic about this situation."
"Frantic?! They are our enemies! They are a threat to this school!"
"They are just here to study and have a normal life...just like you girls." Headmistress explained "And their guardians have taken full responsibility for them."
"Their guardians? That crab-handed devil and the green monkey man...yeah, it sounds promising." Buttercup scoffed.
"Buttercup, I assure you that the boys will not cause any trouble. Now if you'd please excuse me, I have a lot of work to do." Headmistress said dismissing the girls.
"But Headmistress Keane...Buttercup is right. They are a threat and if we don't do anything about it, who knows what might happen." said Blossom.
The tired Headmistress looked up from her papers and stared at girls for a while; she heaved a sigh and started, "Alright fine...I give you permission to keep an eye on them," she heard Buttercup mutter 'we would have done that even without your permission' and Buttercup received a glare from the Headmistress and an elbow to the stomach by Blossom.
"However, if you cause any trouble" she looked at Buttercup, "...any trouble at all, then you will face consequences, and believe me...you don't want that." She smiled at the girls and gestured towards the door.
"Thank you Headmistress . . . we won't disappoint you." Blossom said.
"Yes," she replied. "I hope so too."
After they were out of the office Buttercup took one final glance at the office door.
"Is it just me or has she gotten scarier?" Buttercup questioned, frowning.
Buttercup was walking to her class absentmindedly. She was thinking of the events just happened today. It was the first day of high-school and everything bad just had to happen today. She saw a few students whispering in the corner, as they glanced at Buttercup. Surely, the Girls being in this school was a big deal for the new students but this was way beyond annoying. She shook her head and looked straight ahead. Just as she did, she bumped into someone. It had happened too quickly that she didn't have the time to react.
"Are you blind?!" Buttercup yelled as she pressing her hurting nose.
"It's not me who's blind," the person she bumped into said. "Whoa-ho . . . look who I bumped into,"
She looked up and her eyes widened in shock. The person she possibly hated the most in the world- no, universe, was standing in front of her. She cursed herself for not paying attention, she wanted to avoid them as much as possible, but then again it is Buttercup; either she runs into trouble or trouble runs into her.
"Butch Jojo..." Buttercup muttered.
"Damn, that name sounds too good when it comes out of your mouth," Butch said, putting a hand on his chest.
Buttercup made a face "What do you want?"
"What do I want? Well, if you ask me that," he pulled on a serious face, "You."
Buttercup snapped. She formed a fist and lifted her hand; she was ready to punch him but stopped when someone cleared her throat. Buttercup's head shot over to the direction where the sound came from and saw Headmistress Keane standing beside them; looking obviously pissed.
"Is there a problem here?" she asked with her arms crossed over her chest, glaring at the two of them.
"No ma'am," Buttercup said and went into her class. She didn't look back; she didn't want to. She stomped as she walked over to an empty seat and sat on it. She put her face in her hands and breathed out heavily. She sensed someone coming and sitting next to her but she didn't bother looking; that is until the person spoke himself.
"Well, hello there! Didn't think we'd meet again so soon," Buttercup was getting beyond irritated now. She mentally picked up the desk in front of her and shoved it in his face. Instead, she sighed irritably and said, "Seriously?"
She picked up her bag and looked around the class to see if there were any empty chairs to sit on, but to her bad luck, there weren't. She cursed as she sat down again and looked ahead.
"What's wrong?" asked Butch.
She looked at Butch -who was smirking -in bewilderment. I swear I will wipe that stupid smirk off his face someday, she thought.
During the whole class Butch kept staring at Buttercup, who had a really hard time ignoring him. He was pushing her to her limits; as if his presence alone wasn't enough for that. She hated him and she wanted him to disappear. And if he didn't she would make him.
Buttercup had another reason to hold herself back, because of the promise she made with Blossom; that she wouldn't do anything unless absolutely necessary. Blossom had told Buttercup to keep an eye on Boomer and she herself had taken on the job of looking out for Butch. Bubbles had been given Brick. When Buttercup thought of that she looked around to see if there were any other Ruffs there and there was one: Boomer.
At least I'm doing my job, unlike a certain someone.
Blossom was walking towards her next classroom with a few books in her hand. I'm going to be late for class! She thought, looking at her watch. When she turned around the corridor she saw Brick standing there in front of his locker. Without thinking Blossom dashed and hid herself behind the wall.
"Um...Blossom?" someone said from behind, which caused Blossom to jump.
"Robin! Hey!" Blossom said sighing in relief.
"Uh...what are you doing?" Robin asked.
"Oh...um, nothing really...uh...just getting to class. Yeah! To class!" exclaimed Blossom. She peeked again and Brick was gone. She let out the breath she had been holding for a while and paced towards her class, leaving a confused Robin behind.
Blossom was relieved to have Brick not see her. She did not want to deal with anything troublesome right now. Relieved, she entered her class and froze as her eyes met the red ones.
Great! Blossom thought.
They stared at each other for a while and the Ruff tore his eyes away from her. Blossom stood there for a while before snapping out of it and walking towards an empty seat, far away from the Ruff.
The Girls were walking to the cafeteria and Bubbles was still brooding over the fact that Robin wasn't in any of her classes. Buttercup had an irritated face and Blossom was keeping her calm. The whole day with the Boys in their classes was really not going well for them. The other students seemed okay with it as if they were harmless. That concerned Blossom; she didn't want the students to get involved with them but a reminder from Buttercup that she wasn't their mother dropped that concern.
"I'm gonna go sit with my friends," Buttercup said as she took off.
"I'm going to go find Mack. Will you be okay?" Bubbles asked.
Blossom sighed. She smiled at Bubbles and nodded. Her eyes wandered to where Bubbles was going and then she looked around to find anyone. Randy had a class and Blossom had nobody else to be with.
"Hey Blossom! You're alone?" Blossom turned around to see a girl from her class smiling at her.
"Um...yeah," she replied awkwardly.
"Then you can come and sit with us if that's okay with you," The girl looked over to a table behind her with a few other girls sitting there. They all smiled at Blossom.
The girl looked back at Blossom, who simply nodded and walked to the table with the girl.
"I'm Samantha, by the way. I'm in your history class. Didn't really look like you knew my name." she said while smiling.
"Oh...um sorry." Blossom said, apparently embarrassed.
"Ah no, it's completely fine."
Just then the Ruffs walked into the cafeteria. The girls sitting with Blossom turned to look at them.
They looked back and one of them squealed, "Aren't they, like, so hot!"
That caused Blossom to scoff. They all turned at her, "What, you don't find them hot? I bet you do, in fact I saw you checking out the red one in class."
"What? That's ridiculous," Blossom defended.
"Oh come on! You two really suit each other and as for me I think I'll go for the one in green," Samantha said.
"Good luck with that," Blossom stated.
"Oh so you think it's impossible for me? I'll show you. Let's make a bet."
"I don't think it's impossible for you, in fact it might just be too easy for you, but a word of advice, don't get involved with them." Blossom said.
"You're acting like you've known them forever. They just transferred to the school!" said Samantha.
"Don't you know who they are? I mean-" she stopped as she saw the confused looks on the girls' faces. "You don't know,"
"Are we supposed to?" Samantha said. Suddenly her face beamed. "Could it be that you have some kind of secret history with them?!"
"No! Of course not," she lied.
"Whatever you say...I have my eyes set on the green one though," Samantha declared.
Blossom shook her head and concentrated on her lunch as the other girls talked about their dangerous counterparts.
"This is the worst day of my entire life," Butch said as took another bite of 'whatever shit was in front of them'. "First, we have to attend a school, a school! And second some shitty brats just threw a bucket of cold water on us! I mean what the fuck?! I swear when I find that little piece of shit I'm gonna beat the crap outta him."
"Yeah? How're you gonna find him? You don't even know who it was," Boomer said. "But yeah beating the crap outta that guy does sound kinda nice, right Brick?"
Brick, who was not taking any interest in the conversation, just nodded and kept eating.
"And the little Girls. Did you see the look on their faces? Just priceless; I'm going to savour that look for the rest of my life...and the little cry-baby has grown to be quite a hottie," said Butch.
"And pinkie too...she's quite something, right Brick?" said Boomer.
"Hmm," Brick responded not lifting his head from his lunch.
"What's wrong with you today, Boss-man?" Butch said and received a glare from Brick, which had little effect on the green Ruff, "Ooooh...did I turn your switch on?"
"Just shut up and eat your lunch...I just want to get out of here and go bother someone else, make friends and shit...at least I'll have two problems gone," said Brick, irritated.
"You were the one who brought us here...and now you're telling us to get lost? You think we wanna be here?" Butch narrowed his eyes at his red-headed brother.
"It was for the best...I don't want to be here just as much as you two," Brick said as he got up from his seat and turned around. "Look, it's just two years. Let's just graduate and get the hell out of here."
With that, he walked away.
"Just two years?! He says it like it's nothing!" said Butch when he was sure Brick couldn't hear them.
"Come on now...it might not be that bad..." Boomer said and Butch narrowed his eyes at him. Boomer smirked and got up from his seat and walked away.
"Assholes..." Butch muttered. His eyes wandered till they rested on a certain green Puff. He smirked when he looked at her.
Hmm...it might not be that bad after all...
So here it is. The start to my first official story. Favourite, review and enjoy.
