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!(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 New Orleans, Louisiana! And what a beautiful city she is! A city of fun, levity, and plenty of friendship. And oh look, Rebecca Utonium and her family and friends are vacationing here."
Rebecca strolls down a mulling city lane, gently holding her boyfriend, Mojo Jojo's hand. "It was very nice of you to take us here, Uncle John," she says kindly. "Thank you very much." The professor beams kindly You're quite welcome, Sweetie."
"Oh boy, this is gonna be so awesome." Buttercup says happily.
"Yeah, all of that great music!" Deanna says happily.
"And all of that good foodsssss." Snake adds, as he runs his little snake tongue across his lips and rubs his belly.
Just then, Rebecca and Mojo's little dogs Foxy and Roxi begin barking excitedly. "What is it, babies?" Rebecca inquires. The puppies tugged on their leashes with their teeth and lead their owners towards a square that has some jazz music playing. The group listen elatedly as the band plays.
"In the south land there's a city
Way down on the river,
Where all the women are very pretty,
And all the men deliver,
They got music, It's always playin',
Starts in the daytime, go all through the night,
When you hear that music playin',
Hear what I'm sayin' it makes you feel all right,
Grab somebody, come on down,
Bring your paintbrush, we're paintin' the town,
Oh, there's some sweetness goin' 'round,
Catch it down in New Orleans,"
The friends smile happily and begin tapping their feet and snapping their fingers to the lovely tune.
We got magic, good and bad,
Make you happy or make you real sad,
Get everything you want, lose what you had,
Down in New Orleans,
Hey partner, don't be shy,
Come on down and give us a try,
You wanna do some livin' before you die,
Do it in New Orleans,
Stately homes and mansions
Of the Sugar Barons and the Cotton Kings,
Rich people, old people, all got dreams,
Dreams do come true in New Orleans."
As the song concludes, the group claps and cheers happily, upon which the band politely bows. "Whee!" Bubbles exclaims happily as she loop-de-loops in the air. "That was fantastic!"
"Ha, ha, yeah!" Buttercup laughs, pumping her fist in the air.
Just then, the puppies notice someone coming toward them. The puppies barked happily to see a brown cat and a fluffy white Turkish angora cat. Roxi and Foxy ran towards them to give them welcoming sniffs, then they licked the two cats and the cats purred. Rebecca got towards the puppies and said, "What did you girls find here? New friends?"
Mojo came towards the brown cat and the white one, then he saw some tags. Mojo said, "Rufus and Lily." In an instant, a man and a little girl came over. The man said, "You found Lily and Rufus! Thanks, friends. I hope they didn't cause trouble with the pups." Mojo said, "No, no trouble at all. The puppies are really sweet and your cats were friendly towards them." The little girl beams happily.
"Oh, by the way," the man says. "My name is Mr. Bernard Wilson, and this is my daughter Penny."
"Pleased to meet you." Penny says politely.
"Well, we're very pleased to meet you, too," Mojo replies kindly. "My name is Mojo Jojo, this is my dear girlfriend Rebecca, and these are our friends April, Deanna, Ace, Snake, Little Arturo, Big Billy, Grubber, Professor Utonium, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, and our little friends Foxy and Roxi."
Mr. Wilson smiles warmly. "Well, it's quite a pleasure to meet you all. If I may ask, please, what brings you to our little corner of the world?"
Rebecca said, "We're just here on a little vacation."
Penny pets the puppies and says, "They're so cute and soft! What kind of puppies are they?"
Mojo says to Penny, "These two are Pomeranians. I see that they like you as well. Rebecca and I adopted them from a shelter after looking after other dogs in a kennel as a reward. Their previous owner didn't have the time or money to care for these girls, so he dropped them off at the shelter and we took them in."
"Oh, the poor little ones!" Penny notes. "How wonderful that they've found such kind new owners." Rebecca smiled as she scratched Roxi's ears, "Thanks, Penny."
"Rufus and Lily were rescues, too," Penny notes as she gently strokes Lily's head. "Several months ago, we visited the local pound and found the poor little ones all by themselves. We adopted them and have been looking after them ever since." Lily purrs happily and gently nuzzles Penny's chin.
Mr. Wilson said, "You folks want to have something to eat for lunch around the restaurants here?"
"Oh, yes, please!" the group replies happily. Mr. Wilson laughs kindly. "Wonderful!" Upon this, he and Penny begin to lead the group into town.
