CHAPTER ONE:

"The City of Townsville; a bustling, hustling, churning, burning town. Churning and burning because it is incredibly hot and humid. Tempers are shorter than an IRS tax refund and as luck would have it the heat is causing some dandy confrontations, foremost among a certain group of superpowered little girls. Let's listen in, shall we?"

"Well, if you had been paying attention Buttercup the monster would have been captured!"

Buttercup was not in a mood to be trifled with. She had disregarded Blossom's advice on how to get the best of the monster and had attempted to capture it with strength alone. All she got for her efforts was a slap across the face by a tentacle that propelled her into Townsville's main power plant. As a result most of the city was dark and getting howling mad because the air conditioning was out.

"Well pardon me Miss Bossy Boots! It looked like a done deal, it was a small monster compared to some, HUMPH!"

Bubbles answered, "The city's got no power, they're not gonna be happy!"

Bunny, the purple clad, brown haired latest addition to the Powerpuff Girls, put in her two cents worth, "Not to mention Dad is going to be furious when his experiments are ruined due to no electricity."

Bunny been accidentally recreated by Mojo Jojo in a failed attempt to gather latent atmospheric Chemical X energy. He was attempting to recreate the RowdyRuff Boys but didn't know about Bunny. The plan ultimately failed and the result was a stable, smaller Bunny and much milder, respectful RowdyRuff Boys. In the beginning Bunny had felt awkward and reserved when first calling the Professor "Dad" but after getting to know him a bit she began to relax and soon felt completely at ease. His patient kindness and honesty when answering her many questions made her feel wanted and loved. She did not at the moment feel particularly loved by Buttercup!

"Stow it rookie, when I want your opinion I'll ask for it, OK!" Bunny's expression hardened and she stuck her tongue out at Buttercup in response.

Blossom and Bubbles looked shocked and responded together, "Buttercup, calm down!"

"It's OK, Buttercup's not really mad, she's just embarrassed because she goofed up." Bunny replied with a smirk.

At that moment the girls were approaching their house. The Professor was outside investigating the loss of electrical power with a flashlight. Blossom and Bubbles landed smoothly. Buttercup and Bunny however landed in a rolling ball of fists, feet, and somewhat off color comments. The resulting ruckus caused the Professor to jump in and seperate the squabbling fighters as Blossom and Bubbles watched.

"BUTTERCUP, BUNNY, what's going on? STOP THIS NONSENSE!"

Blossom and Bubbles decided to help by stepping in between their fighting sisters. Blossom pulled a sweaty and huffing Buttercup off to the side. She had the beginning of a black eye. Bubbles did likewise with an equally frazzled Bunny, her single brown ponytail now undone causing her hair to hang down past her shoulders. Bubbles couldn't be sure but she thought Bunny had a loose tooth. Both girls had torn stockings and dirty uniforms also.

The Professor addressed the four girls, "Now one at a time, tell me what happened." He pointed at Blossom, "You first, and no interruptions from you three" he said to the others.

Blossom began, "We were fighting the monster and..."

"IT WAS REALLY SMALL" Buttercup added quickly.

The Professor glared at her, and Buttercup realizing her mistake, hushed.

Blossom continued, "and Buttercup didn't follow my directions and got knocked through the power plant as a result."

The Professor finished, "So, that's why the power's out. Well, Buttercup, next time maybe you'll listen to your sister when she gives a command."

Buttercup knew when she had to be quiet. Having lost discussions and arguments before with her sisters and the Professor had taught her when to hold her tongue.

"Yes, Professor." Buttercup addressed her sisters as well. "Sorry guys."

"OK, now that this is over, Bubbles, Bunny, you two are first in the tub. You'll have to use flashights or candles for light since the power is out." Since the addition of Bunny to the Utonium household the Professor had found it prudent to have only two girls bathe at a time. All four simply made too big a mess. "Buttercup, let's see to that eye." The Professor looked at Bunny and added, "Somebody must have popped you a good one." Bunny looked amazingly nonchalant and gave the Professor her best "What, little ol' me?" look.

Blossom grinned and asked, "If the power's out, how will we cook supper?"

The Professor grinned back and said, "You have super powers re-MEM-ber?"

Bubbles responded, "You've been wanting to say that for a while, huh?"

The Professor just chuckled and herded the girls into the dark house.

At breakfast the following morning the Utonium clan was gathered around the table. The power had been restored but the mood was not good due to the bad headline the newspaper had published about Buttercup's mistake.

POWERPUFF MAKES TOWN

POWER-LESS!!

The Professor turned on the radio only to hear, "Bug-eyed, no fingered flops!" Before the tirade could go on he turned the radio off angrily.

"Boy, how quickly they forget!"

He announced, "Girls, I know yesterday's power plant damage was just an accident but public opinion is obviously bad. Please be extra careful, at least until this blows over, OK?"

All four girls chorused, "Yes Dad."

"Good, now off to school with you"
