Looking out the window of the van, Casey Roberts felt like his biggest dream is coming true. He, with his two best friends, Thomas Madden and Seigel Morgan, were finally off to college. Though they'll be over 400 miles from home, it'll be worth it. Very smart but far from geeky, they finished in the top 10% of their class at graduation. And while Seigel and Thomas had their share of female companions, Casey is so shy to the point to where he didn't even talk to girls; for some strange reason, he grew paranoid, and his throat went dry. He didn't know what to say to them, in fear of offending them. His best buddies did all they could to encourage him to throw caution to the wind and try something, but it was to no avail. Being the smartest of the three, he helped them out as much as he could, propelling them to the top. And just thinking about being with a girl made his heart ache, yet his conscience burdened him down with doubt. Riding in the van Seigel's parents gave him for graduation made it a bit better, yet he wondered, how will he ever get over his fear of talking to the female sex? As they approached the city limits of Townsville, where they'll be attending college, it will become more real to not only him, but the other two as well.

The three boys have been friends since grade school. Seigel was the smart jock, standing 6'1", and hefting 220 pounds of muscle on him; he had the mixture of brains and brawn, and he wanted to become an accountant. Thomas was second, at 5'8" and 180, wanting his degree in mathematics. Casey was the shorty of the bunch, at only 5'3" and a slim but solid 135, sculpted and hard. He came for the graphics arts program on a full paid scholarship. Problems at home with family prompted him to start working out to relieve him of frustrations, and though he didn't gain any height, his body became solid as a rock. His self-esteem, on the other hand, went the other way. While Seigel and Thomas were bold in their appraoches to girls, Casey tended to shy away, due to his father's scolding remarks about how he was a wuss, and would never become nothing. Having earned this chance, all that is about to change.

Being well known throughout the region for their act of heroics and bravery, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, better known as the Powerpuff Girls, have now grown up into beautiful young ladies. With the help of their father, Prof. Plutonium, the girls have honed their powers, and built up their developing bodies to handle them. All standing at around 5' 8", they have become statueque, slightly sophisicated, and very intelligent. Having been homeschooled while not out fighting crime, all three were accepted into Townsville University on their smarts, not what they possessed. In the years they have protected the city, their creator and father encouraged them to bring their physical strength to the level of their super powers; and the results are nothing short of amazing. With the use of heavy weights, bodyweight exercises and cardio, these three champions of justice are now sculpted, pumped and bulging packages of young female muscle. Still cute in their own way, they have made themselves more of a force to be reckoned with to the enemies of this fair city. And now entering an institution of higher learing, they desired to sharpen their brain power even more.

Pulling up on campus, the three boys were amazed at the amount of females there. For Seigel and Thomas, their plans were made up in their heads. As for Casey, his stomach was tied in knots. Parking the van, all three grabbed their info, and headed for the administration building. Ironically at the same time, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup were not too far behind, before they noticed them.

"Hey, look at the short one," commented Blossom.

"Uh, we haven't seen their faces yet," said Buttercup.

"I think they're cute," Bubbles added.

"Oh no, here you two go again," she grimaced. "We had enough with the Rowdy Ruff Boys a few years ago! I don't think I'm ready for a guy right now."

Getting in line for registration, the girls got a better look at their faces, which slowly changed Buttercup's mind once she got a glimpse of Seigel.

'Man, he's big and tall,' she thought, 'a little fat on the tummy, but enough to keep me warm.'

The other two glanced over at her; to see her blush was worth a thousand words. Looking back at the boys, Thomas unknowingly caught the eye of perky Bubbles, also blushing rosy red. Yet it wasn't until Blossom took one look at Casey's face, and she was completely swept away. Though she had friend boys earlier, she has never felt anything like this from just seeing one of his height, and cuteness. As the other two snapped out of their silent fantasies, Blossom felt her heart beating like a drum in her muscle-clad chest. 'I need to meet him,' she thought as she absent-mindedly stepped out of line, and walked toward the three boys in the opposite line. Bubbles and Buttercup were taken off guard by their sister's action, yet they know her, as determined as she is. She then politely tapped Casey on the shoulder.

"Hi," she said. Casey turned around, to see the most beautiful face he's seen in a long time. Her smile was vibrant, sparkling blue eyes, and framed by long flowing red hair. Immediately, his throat went dry as he tried to speak.

"Uh, hi," he stammered. He's never been this close to a girl like this, and he slowly started to freak out. Seeing this, Blossom calmed him down as only she can.

"Shhh," she whispered. "You're cute, you know that?"

He then hung his head down, hiding his heavily blushing face. Seigel and Thomas turned around, to see this girl talking to their friend.

"Hi, and you two must be..." They quickly cleared their throats. Seigel spoke first.

"I'm Seigel Morgan, and this is Thomas Madden. Our petrified friend there is Casey Roberts."

Bubbles and Buttercup joined their sister to meet these new guys. "Well, I'm Blossom, this is Bubbles, and the fiesty one is Buttercup. Welcome to Townsville."

Each of the girls were taking long, hard looks at them, and knew which one they wanted. Thomas interrupted their reverie.

"Uh, if you don't mind, we'd like to register for our classes first, then we can talk."

The girls completely forgot what they were doing, and headed back to their line, though it wasn't that long. Within fifteen minutes, all six were finished, and received their schedules for the semester. Once out, each had a look at what they'd be doing, and to Casey's surprise, he and Blossom had two classes together. This thrilled her to no end, while he had to get used to having a girl like him this much. Seigel and Thomas would see to that.

Getting settled into their dormroom was easier said than done. Seigel, Thomas and Casey packed light, yet had plenty of money to buy new stuff if necessary. As they were putting away their clothes, one thing crossed Thomas' mind.

"Hey Casey," he said, "this year, we're gonna shed you of your fear of girls, man."

"Listen," he replied, "I don't know about it. I know I need to, but how?"

"Well," interjected Seigel, "we know one thing that's true: you were chased by most of the girls in high school, all four years! No guy in the school's history had never done that. And despite all that, you completely shyed away from it. I need to know, what is it with you and this fear of girls?"

Casey knew these guys like they know him, and to come clean is the first step. He sat down on his bed, as Seigel and Thomas sat on either side of him.

"Well, it started like this." He inhales and exhales deeply, then starts his story. "What you don't know is that when I was coming up, I was the shorty of the bunch of us three. My mom was a strict disciplinarian, and it got to the point of abuse sometimes. Though I had two sisters taller and bigger than me, my mom refused to let me be around them, saying I would be bad for them. I didn't do nothing; all I wanted to do was go outside and have fun. I couldn't even do that. She even told me not to talk to the girls at school, and if she found out I had spoken to one of them, she'd have my ass for it." Tears streamed down his face. The others can see it was immensely painful. "As much as I wanted to, I couldn't. So I started working out to relieve the stress. And though I'm only 5' 3", I'm 135 solid. My fear developed right there, and stayed like that since." He placed his hands over his face and wept. Thomas and Seigel never realized the pain and abuse he went through.

"Listen Casey," Thomas said, "we're like brothers. We've always been there for each other, and we're gonna see you through this. Your fear has been bottled up for so long, it's a part of you. We want to break that curse."

"Yeah," added Seigel, "because the look in that girl's eyes today told us that she really likes you. We all have our own trials, and as for me and Thomas, her sisters will be trials enough."

Casey smiled through his tears as began to cheer up. "But listen. Please, under any circumstances, tell anyone what we talked about just now. Okay?"

"You got it," Thomas said with his hand over his heart.

"Same thing here," added Seigel.

"Thanks guys. I needed to get that out." Casey wiped his face and smiled again. "So what's the plan?"

"There's only one step," Thomas stated. "To spend as much time around her as possible, until you feel comfortable around her enough that you don't go cold. Like I said, she truly likes you, I could see it in her eyes."

"You really think so?"

Seigel stared Casey in the eyes. "Where have you been all this time? I won't be surprised if she's already head over heels in love with you, just like the girls in school were."

"But realize this," Thomas added, "you are not around your family now. You're on your own, in the real world. You have to fend for yourself, survival of the fittest. We know you're up to it."

Casey couldn't help but grin. He never thought about it like that. "Okay, we'll see what happens. I'll just be myself, who I am." As the three amigos went out, they couldn't help but wonder, how it's gonna be like with those beautiful maidens. More than they ever imagined.

At home, the Powerpuff girls were talking 'girl talk', and the subject of those three boys popped up. Just finishing up their workout, they hit the showers to clean up and meet them. Bubbles and Buttercup noticed something strange about Blossom, and inquired her about it.

"You thinking about that new kid, ain't 'cha?" Buttercup asked. Blossom was totally silent.

"Uh, sis, can you hear us?" asked Bubbles, getting worried a bit. Glancing at her face, their sister was staring out in space, blank and expressionless. This was mighty strange.

"Earth to Blossom, come in Blossom," as Buttercup knocked on her forehead. Blossom quickly came back to reality, to see the two staring at her.

"Uh, sorry," blushing rosy red, "spaced out a little.

"You thinking 'bout your little boy toy, ain't 'cha?"

"He isn't a boy toy!" she defended instantly. "I'm sensing...there's more to him than we think."

The other two grew quiet for a moment. "Well, he did act like he was scared of something," Buttercup replied.

"We'll find out from his friends," added Bubbles, with a smile.

"But for right now, let's go meet our new boyfriends," Blossom concluded, as they headed for their rooms to change into more appropriate attire.

30 minutes later, the boys were outside the main building, waiting for their new friends. Having arrived 10 minutes early, it gave enough time for Casey to calm his nerves, and prepare to meet this example of the female sex. The girls arrived later, in matching sweatsuits, yet in different colors; Blossom in red, Bubbles in blue, and Buttercup in green. Casey, Seigel and Thomas were awestruck at their appearance, yet being the young gentlemen they were, they offered their seats for them. After a few minutes talking (in which Casey could only blush), the girls offered to show them around the city. In the van, each sat in two's, Seigel and Buttercup up front, Thomas and Bubbles in the middle, and Blossom with Casey in the back. Seigel had a beautiful high-top conversion van, fully equipped with TV, DVD, sound system and other amentities. From the back, he could see his two friends growing warm to their newfound ladyfriends. Before he could say 'saurkraut', Blossom was drawing close to him, and his mother's words kicked in, words that kept him scared down for years. Feeling her warm body against his was slowly becoming too much for him, as his face turned beet red. As anxiety set in, he slowly slid over to the bay window of the van. Blossom was confused at what just happened, as he drawed up into a ball. Bubbles looked back, and was surprised at what was taking place in the back. Thomas looked back and knew what was going on: Casey was having a panic attack.

"Blossom," he asked softly, "could you get up here for a while?"

Blossom nodded, and switched seats with Thomas. Casey was shivering like a cold cub, as his friend rubbed his back.

"What happened man?"

"I-I don't know," he stuttered, "the feel of her touch on m-my skin, I-I just panicked..."

"Listen, man, you can't let this control your life forever."

"Tell Seig to turn around."

"We're almost to where we're going."

"Then I'll just stay inside the van."

"Man, you gotta eat."

Up front, Bubbles and Blossom were worried.

"What happened back there sis?"

"I don't know. I tried to get close to him, then he just drew away. It's like, he became scared of me when I tried to get close to him." She hung her head. "I never had this happen to me before."

"Listen sis, there has to be a logical explanation for his shying away like that. It's a matter of time before we know why."

"I guess you're right. I really like him, and I know he likes me. I can see it in his eyes. I want to help him in any way possible."

Arriving at the restaurant the girls used to frequent when they were young, all six sat in a booth, but Blossom sat across from him instead of beside him. All ate except Cacey, which disturbed them, as he laid his head on the table while the rest ate and talked. At the same time, Blossom was feeling neglected, not showing it, for fear of it actually happening. Yet she followed her heart, knowing that in Casey's heart, he liked her as well.

After that incident, Thomas and Seigel worked with Casey, albeit slowly, to get his anxiety under control. It was very hard, considering the years he's been subjected to his mother's harsh discipline. He had fight in him, but it was locked up tight. The two knew that if it was unleashed, there would be catastrophic consequences. As for Blossom, she and the girls also wanted Casey to get better, and it was showing. During the first semester, he slowly grew into his element, graphic arts, and blew everybody away, as well as impressed people with his artistic prowess. As he improved in his electives, the anxiety that bound him steadily melted away like ice. And with that, he drew closer to Blossom, which made her heart leap with joy. She was now head over heels in love with him, yet didn't know how to say it. For the entire first term, with Casey's help, she became more ept in certain subjects she lacked in earlier in childhood. Bubbles and Buttercup also benefited from their men's intelligence, with improved memory retention, that allowed them to learn more while studying less. For this, the girls were truly, madly and deeply in love with their men.

When the spring came, second semester was just as sweet, as the girls worked out in the school weight room. Retaining their sweats as to not let anybody see their well developed bodies, the only sounds that were heard was the clanging of steel. Until Casey came in. Feeling a bit more confident, he has on a sweatsuit he just bought, and when he took off the top, Blossom's eyes went wide. Being slender and short was his shortcomings (pardon the pun), but he had a great package on him; the sole reason why the girls in high school chased after him like foxes after a rabbit. Donning a muscular build, he had quite a bit of muscle on his 135 pound frame. Definition was seen on his arms, shoulders and chest, but it was his small eight pack abs that sent Blossom's heart aflutter. She's never seen such a full package on a small person as he. Cut and straited, they rippled every time he breathed in and out. Casey was pretty self conscious about his body, and never tried to compete with anyone. Thus the reason why he kept himself covered up at all times. He never noticed what the rest of him looked like, and didn't really care. And as he stretched, his abs stretched, allowing the fibers to become visible. In the corner, Blossom was silently fixated on her friend, as was Bubbles and surprisingly, Buttercup. Just when they thought they were surprising, they became surprised themselves. For an hour, Casey moved from machine to machine, working his little muscles to the max, until he developed a good sheen of sweat over his upper body. His mind focused on relieving stress, not aware of any watchers, he hit the floor and performed reverse crunches. The movement of his lower body, along with constant gyrations became nearly too much for Blossom, as her face flushed with love and lust. Ending his workout session, Casey wiped the sweat from his brow, gathered his things, and exited the room. The Powerpuff Girls were left totally speechless. Drenched in sweat from just watching him work his body, one particular member felt something else drenched- between her legs. He was definitely a sleeper, waiting to be awaken. Yet too many things from his past kept him asleep; to Blossom, he was her sleeper, one she will always cherish.
