This is a collab that Monstarzgirl and I worked on a little while ago(She and I each took turns writing parts of the story) which is a continuation of her own Powerpuff Girls series starring her OC, Rebecca Utonium, the professor's niece. Please enjoy, and a very Merry Christmas to all!(BTW Monstarzgirl, thank you very much for working on this story with me. I've always loved your stories and had a lot of fun writing this story with you; I look forward to us writing more in the future.) :)
Narrator: The city of Townsville and Christmas is on it's way! Yes, all the trees, decorations, and lights are displayed everywhere as all the townies of Townsville are being merry on this jolly holiday.
In the middle of a bustling city square, Mojo Jojo, who's wearing a blue winter coat, matching pants, and a cranberry red scarf, as well as his usual cape, helmet, and boots, strolls down the sidewalk, walking his little dog Foxy and humming a merry Christmas tune. As they pass by the Townsville jewelry shop, Foxy begins barking excitedly and pawing at the window, causing Mojo to traipse over to see.
"There it is, Foxy," Mojo says happily as he observes a silver necklace with a heart-shaped sapphire pendant and a pair of matching earrings on a display in the window. "The perfect gift for Rebecca." The monkey sighs blissfully as he lays his chin in his paws. "My darling Rebecca."
Noticing a sign reading that the store closes at 8 o'clock, a concerned Mojo checks his wallet and finds only a small sum of money. "Hmm," he muses. "Hopefully after I get my paycheck, I'll have enough money. I'll go pick it up after work." He then turns to his little friend. "Come on, girl, let's go to Rebecca's house." Foxy barks happily and wags her tail as the two continue their trek.
Meanwhile, at the Utonium Chateau, Rebecca and her family are busily getting ready for Christmas. Inside the house, Bubbles gathered a box of ornaments and sang, "Christmastime is in a few days! Fa-la-la-la, la-la-la-la! Santa will give me lots of toys today! Fa-la-la-la, la-la-la-laaaaaaaa!"
Buttercup covered her ears and said, "Bubbles, will ya knock it off?"
Bubbles said, "Sorry, just spreading a little Christmas cheer!"
Blossom is in the kitchen helping Rebecca bake some Christmas cookies with gingerbread dough, sugar cookie dough, and chocolate chip dough. When Rebecca is rolling out the sugar cookie dough and humming O Holy Night to herself, she heard a knock to 'Shave and a Haircut'. Wiping her hands into her apron, Rebecca rushed over and knocked back 'Two Bits'.
Mojo sees the door open and says, "I never get tired of doing that."
Rebecca chuckled and gave Mojo a kiss on the cheek, "Hi, Mojo. I see that Foxy's here. So what brings you here at Casa de Utonium?"
Mojo smiles as he feels a small blush warm his face. "I've come to spend Christmas together with you, my love."
"Oh, how sweet you are!" Rebecca says happily as she gently takes his paw. "We would be very delighted for you to stay with us." Mojo feels his heart skip a rapid beat as Rebecca leads him inside. "Thank you, darling."
Upon entering the living room, the professor and the girls quickly hurry up to meet Mojo. "Oh, Mojo, how very good to see you!" the professor says happily. "Hi, Mojo!" the Powerpuffs cheerily call. "Merry Christmas!"
The monkey smiles. "Merry Christmas to you, too." Upon seeing Foxy, Rebecca's little dog Roxi gives a happy bark and hurries up to her sister, giving her many welcome licks. Rebecca and Mojo laugh kindly. "They're so sweet." Rebecca says softly.
Mojo said, "Indeed." Looking at some flour on Rebecca's cheek, he said, "Baking, I see?"
Rebecca asked, "How did you know?"
Mojo chuckled and gently wiped the flour off Rebecca's cheek with his thumb, "By seeing your hair a bit frazzled and seeing some flour on your face, I can tell that you're busy baking. Cookies?" Blossom said, "Yeah, me and Becca were just starting. You can help us out, too, Mojo. We're making gingerbread, sugar, and chocolate chip cookies."
Mojo said interested, "Oh, going for some variety? Why, yes, I'd be glad to help you two out!" Upon this, he took his coat and scarf off. However, Foxy and Roxi yelped in alarm when the coat covered them up. The Pomeranians yipped trying to get out, then Roxi and Foxy stuck their heads out of the sleeves. Seeing this, Mojo gently helps the little ones free. "Sorry, babies," he says with concern. "I need to be more careful of where I drop things." The puppies give a gracious bark in reply and wag their puffy tails.
Mojo then enters the kitchen with Blossom and Rebecca. He asks, "Alright, which cookies are we starting on?"
Rebecca said, "Sugar. I was just rolling the dough out. Blossom, could you find some of the cookie cutters?" Blossom said, "Sure, Becca." Mojo got out some of the cookie sheets onto the stove and sprayed them with some butter spray, while Rebecca finished rolling out the dough. Blossom got out a bunch of cookie cutters: a heart shape, a star shape, a gingerbread man shape, a reindeer shape, snowman shape, snowflake shape, teddy bear shape, and a Santa Claus shape.
Mojo observed, "That's a lot of cutter shapes."
Rebecca chuckled as she found another cutter shaped like a Christmas tree and smiled, "More the merrier."
Mojo blushes a bit as he then begins cutting out the cookies. Once the cookies are cut, he then places them on a pan, which Rebecca places in the oven. As Rebecca turns the oven on, she silently remembers the small sum of money in her purse. I hope my paycheck comes soon, she thinks solemnly. Otherwise I won't be able to buy Mojo a present.
Everyone heard an explosion downstairs and rushed towards the source of the noise, which is down in the Professor's laboratory. Opening the door, Rebecca coughed from the smoke and called, "Uncle John, is everything okay?" The professor coughs a bit, "Please don't worry, Becca, I'm just fine. Just having a few difficulties with my latest experiment."
Mojo calls, "Alright, we just wanted to be sure, Professor." From the kitchen, the oven beeped and Mojo got towards the kitchen to get the sugar cookies out. Grabbing some oven mitts, he opened the oven and carefully got the trays out to reveal the sugar cookies a light golden color. Bubbles managed to get some of the cooling trays for the cookies, then Mojo said, "We could use some of the extra dough for each of the cookies for ourselves as snacks, by which I mean we could save the leftover dough for the sugar cookies, chocolate chip, and gingerbread cookies to make some cookies for ourselves to eat as snacks as well as having some free samples."
"Ooh, excellent idea, Mojo." Rebecca replies.
Bubbles looked at the sugar cookies that are already cooling off and asked, "Can I spread some icing on, Becca? Pretty please?"
Rebecca said, "Sure, Bubbles. You could even sprinkle on some of the red, white, and green sprinkles as well."
"Ooh, thank you!" the blue Powerpuff replies happily. She then hovers over to the counter and begins to merrily spread the cookies with vanilla icing and sprinkles. Mojo got out the chocolate chip cookie dough to roll out and smoothed the dough out until it's all even. Rebecca and Blossom placed the many cutters onto the dough, then they placed them onto another tray to put in the oven. Once the batch is finished, Rebecca then removes the tray from the oven, upon which she and Mojo then prepare the gingerbread cookies. Mojo cuts out the shapes, upon which Rebecca places them on a pan, and puts it in the oven. Mojo says, "Well, these are turning out great!"
Rebecca said, "Yeah. Girls, who wants to lick the spoons?" Buttercup, Bubbles, and Blossom called happily, "Ooh, me! I do, I do!" Mojo chuckled at their eagerness, then said, "Alright, Girls. Who wants to have the spoons with sugar cookie dough, chocolate chip, and gingerbread?"
Bubbles said, "I want sugar!"
Buttercup said, "I call dibs on chocolate chip!"
Blossom said, "I'll have gingerbread!"
Rebecca smiles as she hands each of her little cousins a spoon, which they happily begin licking. "Mmm, good!"
Rebecca and Mojo smile and hold hands as they watch this darling scene. "Aww, how sweet they are." Rebecca coos. Mojo sighed, "Yes."
Rebecca asked, "Um, care to walk over towards the city to pick up my paycheck?" Mojo said, "Oh, yes. I was just on my way there, too. We could go together to pick up our paychecks and bring the puppies for a walk."
"Good idea, my dear." Rebecca says kindly as the two traipse over to get the puppies' leashes. "Goodbye, girls!" they call as they walk toward the door. "We'll be back soon!"
"'Bye, guys!" the girls call in reply, politely waving. "Please take care!"
