Powerpuff Halloween
Ok, first time doing this so bear with me please. Here we go!
The City of Townsville. It's a crisp autumn evening, the sun is setting, the trees are turning, the leaves are falling, the wind is gently blowing, a few clouds in the sky, and a full moon is coming out tonight. Citizens are also decorating their homes with bats, spider webs, jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, goblins, and ghouls. Put all this this together and it can only mean one thing…HALLOWEEN! Yes, all the children of Townsville are deciding what they're going to dress as tonight, including our girls; Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.
Inside the Utonium household, we find two of the three girls waiting in the living room already in their costumes; Bubbles is dressed as a cute kitty kat and Blossom is a witch. While waiting for Buttercup, the two sisters talk about what they are going to do this Halloween night.
"Blossom, while we're waiting for Buttercup, do you have a plan for maximizing the amount of candy we can get tonight?"
"Well Bubbles, as you know, I only do that for Buttercup since she can go through candy like, well, a plague of mice can go through cheese, but yes, I do. We're actually going to hit the city this year and then work our way back into the suburbs to end the night. That way, Buttercup can't complain that we missed out on half the candy."
Bubbles giggled. "OK. After all, few things are as grumpy as Buttercup when she misses out on getting the most out of Halloween night."
"Too true."
As Blossom and Bubbles laugh at that, they hear an aggravated scream come from upstairs. The two sisters look at each other and sigh. They fly up to their room and open the door to find Buttercup buried head first in a pile of clothes tossing them all over the room.
Blossom floats up to Buttercup and asks the obvious question, "Buttercup, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for my zombie costume."
"Well, maybe if you had put it somewhere you could easily find it, then you wouldn't be having this problem."
"I know exactly where I put it. It was right here in this pile of clothes."
Blossom rolls her eyes at this. Knowing that trying to find Buttercup's lost costume could take hours, what with the way she can completely misplace things, Blossom offers Buttercup one of the other costumes that she bought a few days ago.
"Buttercup, it'll take us too long to look for your zombie costume, so how about I lend you my other costume that I bought?"
"What other costume?" Buttercup asks with a raised eyebrow.
"That nun costume."
"WHAT?! Are you kidding me? Blossom, me dressing as a nun would be like you dressing as Mojo jojo. It wouldn't look right."
As childish as it sounded, Blossom had to give Buttercup that one. Even though it is Halloween, there are some things that some people just wouldn't look right dressing up as.
Bubbles then spoke up, "Well, I've still got my Harmony Bunny costume from that time we tried to be better super heroes. You could wear that."
Buttercup looked at Bubbles in absolute horror. Blossom on the other hand was trying NOT to laugh out loud. Buttercup gave Blossom a death glare but Blossom couldn't care less. As Buttercup weighed her options, it became obvious to her that she had three choices; go as a nun, go as Harmony Bunny, or don't go at all. She wasn't going to miss out on trick or treating and she wouldn't be caught dead wearing a bunny costume so that just left the nun costume. She wasn't thrilled about it, but it was the lesser evil of the three.
"Grrrrrr, fine, I'll wear the nun costume."
Blossom pulled the nun costume out of their closet and handed it to Buttercup who sped off to the bathroom to change. 10 minutes later, Buttercup came out with a scowl on her face and her arms crossed.
"Oh, come on Buttercup, it doesn't look that bad. In fact, it looks better on you than I thought it would," said Blossom.
"Yeah, you can pull this off easy," said Bubbles.
Buttercup just grumbled a "whatever" as a reply.
Blossom and Bubbles just shook their heads. All three went downstairs, got their big body-pillow cases and flashlights, said goodbye to the Professor, and headed out for a night of trick or treating.
Well, at least Buttercup won't miss out on the trick or treating tonight. Now that the girls are on their way for the night, let's look around the city a bit. Oh, what's this? It looks like even some of the villains are getting into the Halloween spirit…heh heh, see what I did there? Spirit, as in ghosts, get it? Hehe heh…uhh, ahem sorry. Mojo has decorated his lair with orange and black lights as well as skeletons and ghosts. The Gang Green Gang is dressed as zombies and are causing a bit of trouble for passersby. But it looks like the police are keeping an eye on them. Oh, and there is the Amoeba boys who are…sigh, STILL trying to steal an orange but are wearing werewolf masks thinking that no one will recognize them. Even the evilest of evil, the cruelest of cruel, HIM, is preparing for Halloween…but fortunately for everyone tonight, Halloween is his one day off and is merely just settling in to relax. However, there are three villains who are going out to trick or treat tonight; Brick, Boomer, and Butch of the Rowdyruff Boys.
Inside Fuzzy's cabin, the boys are already in their costumes; Boomer is the Grim Reaper, Brick is a vampire, and Butch is a pirate. Boomer can't wait to get started and is pacing back and forth waiting for Brick to give the word.
"Brick, what are we waiting for? I want to get going. It's plenty dark out already."
Brick quickly turned to Boomer and bonked him on the head saying, "For the 50th time Boomer, we'll go out when the sun drops below the horizon, now stop asking!"
Butch shakes his head from the corner of the room. He's just as aggravated as Boomer but for different reasons. Butch just wants to steal all the candy and not go through the whole trick or treat thing. When he brought this up with Brick, Brick said that while that would be fun and easier to do, it would draw the attention of the Puffs and while it would be fun to ruin the girl's night, it would ruin their night as well and besides, they'll get free candy anyway if they just play along. Not to mention, having superpowers, they could carry large garbage bags of candy and hit the entire city in the process since they can fly.
Butch glances out the window and sees that the sun is just a few minutes from dropping below the horizon. Looking back, he sees Boomer pacing again and motions with his head for Brick to come over to where he is. Brick walks over.
"What?"
"Is it just me or is Boomer actually excited for tonight?"
Brick sighs, "It's not just you. Although, we do need to remember that he is the most easily amused out of the three of us."
"True that. So…"
"So…what?"
"We're really not going to steal any candy?"
"UGH! Look Butch, I'll make you a deal, if we are not satisfied with the haul we rake in tonight doing things my way, we'll steal a few bags of candy from whatever stragglers we find on our way home. Deal?"
"Deal."
Brick and Butch shake on it and turn just as Boomer says, "Ok, the sun has gone down, let's go!"
Glancing out the window, Brick sees that Boomer is right and nods to Boomer and Butch saying, "Alright boys, let's hit it." Letting out a cheer, Boomer flies out first with Brick and Butch close behind.
Flying over the forest, Brick says, "Here's what we're going to do boys, we're going to hit the city first, then we'll hit the suburbs. After that, we'll head to this old spook house I found last month and hang out there for a while and eat our candy."
Boomer and Butch quickly look at Brick and say together, "Spook house?"
"Yeah, spook house, as in creepy and possibly haunted," says Brick while grinning evilly.
"Cool," says Butch
"Yeah, neat," says Boomer although with a slight apprehension in his voice.
Brick and Butch both notice this and grin at each other.
"What's the matter Boomer, scared?" says Butch.
"No! It's just…uhh…"
"Just what?" says Brick.
"Well, why do we have to eat our candy in an old house? We could eat it back at Fuzzy's cabin or anywhere else for that matter."
Brick face palmed, "Because dumb-dumb, it's Halloween. You're supposed to go to spooky places tonight and get the living daylights scared out of you…or watch someone else get the living daylights scared out of them, namely, me and Butch watching you freak out."
Brick and Butch laugh at Boomer's downtrodden look and continue flying toward Townsville.
"Very funny guys."
Wow. OK, first off, I have newfound respect for all you writers on this site. This is harder than I first thought and I can't begin to imagine how you all do this on a regular basis. I can only hope this gets easier as time goes by.
Second, Yay! My first chapter of my first story on this site, can't wait to get the next one up.
Third, this is my first time so please be constructive
Fourth, if you want to see what the girls' and the boys' costumes look like, just type the EXACT words "powerpuff girls halloween" into google images and one of the first images should be a picture of the PPG, RRB and the PPNKG. The PPNKG will not be in this story just so you all know in advance.
