Cheers rang through the city as the Mayor of Townsville picked up the giant scissors and cut the red ribbon that announced the opening of the newest building in the city. The shimmering glass of the skyscraper made the civilians yell in delight and everything was perfect. That is until a red blur powered straight through the building.
The building still stood, though there was a gaping hole in one side, smoke billowing out of it. The tiny Mayor for once was truly angry and the civilians coughed as they stared in shocked dismay.
The world was silent until the rubble moved and a teenage boy, rubbing his head, stood up sheepishly.
From the top of the next building, a boy clad in green stood triumphant. "That's what you get for touching my food stash!" He yelled and the civilians glared at the boy who had turned the day into a disaster. The boy picked his red cap from off the ground and stared around with blazing red eyes.
He grinned nervously. "Uh…. Sorry?"
"Never commit a crime in this city again," the little man behind the desk growled. "Or you'll be earning a one way ticket to Citysville." The boys grimaced and hung their heads. "Not a teensy, eensy little-?" Butch, the boy in green began, mussing up his black hair.
"None," Mayor said venomously. "Nada, zero, nil. You hear me?! You have caused enough chaos in this city as it is and I have just thought up a suitable punishment."
"Y-you aren't gonna kill us, are you Mr Mayor?" said the blonde boy Boomer. His eyes lifted imploringly to the Mayor's in his high chair and some of the bristle left Mayor's moustache. "Of course not boy!" Mayor spluttered staring at the blue eyed boy with blank dismay. He sighed with relief when there was a knock on the door and three girls flew in, clad in pink, blue and green.
"What is it Mayor?" asked the girl in pink anxiously. Her eyes flickered around the room until it came in contact with a pair of red ones.
She hid a smirk and landed with her sisters next to the boys.
"Is there trouble Mayor?" Buttercup shrilled in excitement. "A monster? A criminal?"
The Mayor shuffled his feet and gestured for Blossom to kneel down so he could whisper in her ear. Her face went bright red and her eyes flashed. She stood, her breathing coming in short puffs.
"What is it Blossom?" asked Bubbles in concern, finally dragging her eyes away from Boomer. Blossom moved to whisper in Bubbles' ear and she gasped.
Bubbles then turned to whisper in Buttercup's ear and she clenched her fists in fury. The boys watched the exchange with curiosity and dread.
"Are you serious Mayor?" Buttercup said in a scary monotone voice.
"N-no Buttercup," he said clearing his throat.
Ms Bellum, who had been silent until now stood up. Butch's eyes were drawn to her long, shapely legs until Brick elbowed him hard in the ribs. He yelped drawing everyone's attention.
"Now young lady," said Ms Bellum, ignoring Butch. "Don't go using that voice on the Mayor. These boys have been causing way too much chaos whether by accident or on purpose. Mayor has the right idea by leaving these boys in your care so you can teach them the right etiquette, manners and morals that Mojo never taught them. These boys have been allowed to run around at all manners, have caused disruption to the city and shown most terrible personalities and I honestly feel that they do not know any better."
Buttercup hung her head in shame and the boys watched the exchange with the look of doom dawning on their faces.
"B-b-but you can't do this!" Butch cried, landing on his knees. "You can't let the Puffs look after us! Surely there is someone better?"
Buttercup rolled her eyes and Mayor shook his head firmly.
"Mojo shall be told what is happening and you shall go and live with them until you learn better manners. I will arrange for you to go to school and you shall be with the girls at all times. Do you understand?"
The boys hung their heads the lowest they could go and nodded their heads.
Then the girls and boys headed home to the Professor who welcomed the boys with open arms.
