It was half way through their junior year of high school when they moved back to their home city of Townsville after almost 10 years. Their father was offered a job as the CEO of the largest technology and science company, TechCom, in the state. Therefore he couldn't pass up the offer.
The memories of fighting villains as what the city named them, the Powerpuff Girls, came flooding back as they unpacked the moving truck. They city had even given each of the girls nicknames; Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup.
"Do you think they'll remember us?" Blair, or to Townsville Blossom, thought out loud.
Blair had her fiery red hair up in a messy bun as she looked to the city's buildings in the distance.
"No," BC (Blake Catherine) or Buttercup, answered as she grabbed another three boxes.
"How do you know?" Blair whipped around to confront her older punk rock sister.
BC put the boxes down to put her pitch black hair in a pony tail which also revealed her emerald green eyes and pierced nose and lip. "Because last time we stepped foot on this city was ten years ago," she picked up the three boxes. "And plus we're done with that life."
As BC turned to go into the house she heard her sister mumble, "Maybe we don't have to be." BC sighed and took the boxes in the house.
BC stopped in the living room of their new one story house. She could hear footsteps in front of her.
"Need help?" Her fathers, or the professor, deep voice echoed through the empty room.
BC smiled. "Nah but can you read where these boxes go?"
"Um let's see…" she could tell her father was putting on his black rimmed glasses. "Top two are Bailey's and the bottom is yours."
"Thanks!" She called as she headed down the hallway where her and her sisters bedrooms were.
"Hey Bails! Still in your room?" She yelled as she pushed the second door open with her foot.
"Yupp!"
"Grab the top two boxes."
The two boxes slid off revealing her youngest sister's beaming smile. Her pure blonde hair was up in her signature pigtails on the sides of her head. Bailey or to Townsville, Bubbles, because of her bubbly personality, skipped over to her bed to empty the boxes.
"Wait BC!" Bailey came flying to her, stopping inches away from her face. "Are you excited?"
"For?" BC stepped back and shifted the box to her other arm.
"School!" Bailey started babbling on about how being back was great and how school was going to be great since she's meeting new people. Kind of, sorta.
BC made the truck still needs to be unloaded excuse and made her way down the hall to the last room, which was hers. Not bothering to turn the light on she found her bed and place the box on it.
Unpacking took the rest of the day.
"How about we go into the city and get something to eat?" Their dad suggested.
The three teens agree/d.
"Is my motorcycle out?" BC asked.
"It's out. I took it out and put it in the garage," Blair said.
"I'll meet you at the restaurant then."
BC pushed her black motorcycle out of the garage and let it come to life underneath her. Pulling on her helmet she smiled to herself at the familiar and amazing feeling.
"We should go out tonight!" Bailey partial yelled.
"Like where?" BC took a bite of her burger. "We aren't exactly old enough to go to clubs."
Bailey giggled. "Not that out silly."
Blair leaned across the table and whispered, "You mean go on patrol?"
"YES!" Bailey squealed.
BC cringed at the high pitched noise next to her. "You two can go."
Blair went to protest but their father cut her off. "No you all will go."
"What? Why?"
"All the villains are in jail so it would be a good way to see the city without fighting," The professor held his hand up preventing BC from speaking, "Plus you girls need to spend more time with each other."
BC groaned but didn't say anything since she knew it was pointless.
"BC!"
BC groaned as she pulled herself out of her bed and into the living room. Blair and Bailey were standing by the door. She wasn't happy about going on patrol again but she did admit to herself that getting out flying again will be fun.
They were about to head out when Bailey stopped dead in her tracks and whipped around to face her sisters.
"What's wrong, Bails?" Blair asked.
"We can't go out like this!"
Blair and BC glanced down at their clothes then at each other. "Why?"
"We need costumes! Like when we were younger!" She started to bounce up and down.
"I am NOT wearing those stupid dresses!" BC stated firmly.
"You won't have to," The professor said.
He led them down to his lab. The professor went over to three glass cases and clicked on a light revealing three new suits. Each had their own style to match each of the girls. All their respected color with a strip of black going across the chest on the no sleeves tops. Blue for Bailey, pink for Blair and green for BC. However each outfit all had different black bottom wear; Bailey had a skirt, Blair had a pair of shorts and BC had leather pants. To top the outfits off each had either knee or thigh high boots with a strip of their colors on the front.
Bailey squealed with excitement and darted to get changed. Following was an excited Blair and a reluctant BC.
BC was pulling on her fingerless gloves when she asked, "What about our faces? Isn't someone gonna recognize us?"
"We stay out of sight," Blair stated.
"We can't do that since we do leave a trail of neon waves when we fly."
Blair glared at her. BC always had to shut down everything she says.
"That's why you have these." The Professor opened a case. Inside were three simple black masks that covered their eye area. "They also have a com link to each other and my lab."
"Sweet," Blair smiled.
"Have fun and be safe!" The professor called as the girls flew straight out of the house and took to the sky.
"Cheer up, Buttercup!" Blair teased.
The name made Bailey giggle and BC clench her fist and jaw.
When they were younger and still fighting crime the mayor came up with nicknames since the girl didn't tell anyone their real names. Blossom was given to Blair because of her blossoming into a good leader. Bubble to Bailey because of her personality. And Buttercup was given to BC because the mayor always told her, "Cheer up Buttercup."
BC flew at her top speed weaving in and out of the buildings leaving a neon green trail behind.
"Why does she do that?" Blair asked.
Bailey just shrugged.
Then all of a sudden two objects came speeding past them leaving familiar trails.
"What the hell was that?" Blair steadied herself in the air.
"Not what Sweetheart… who."
