Narrator: The City of Townsville! Oh and what a city she is! Full of wonderful youth always happily playing and doing what it takes to fill their young minds with all the knowledge they can carry. And speaking of wonderful youth, let's see what's going on in the home of Townsville's own beloved Powerpuff Girls!
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup sat on the couch fully consumed by a cartoon when the Professor came in.
"Oh girls," he announced. "There's some news I wish to share with you."
"What is it Professor?" the girls asked, intrigued with what he had to say. Especially now that he was in front of the television so they didn't have much of a choice.
"Well Pokey Oaks High is doing a sort of program where students get to become an intern for adults that are important figures in Townsville. And it just so happens that one of them has decided to come work with me."
"That's really interesting Professor," Blossom stated. "But what does that mean exactly?"
"Well what it means is this person will be helping me out with experiments, run a few errands, take notes on what I have to say, that kind of stuff. And the thing is some of them, with their parents' permission of course, get the option of staying with the adults until their internship is over. Which is why I wanted to inform you about our guest who'll be staying with us for the next six weeks."
"Oh cool!" The girls exclaimed.
"What's their name Professor?" Bubbles asked.
"Her name is Veronica. Veronica Sawyer. The thing is girls she's seventeen and I know you don't really have much experience dealing with teenagers-"
"But Professor, we do have some experience with teenagers." Blossom interrupted with her usual matter-of-fact tone.
"Yeah, we're always kicking the butts of the Gangreen Gang!" Buttercup bragged.
"And everyone knows they're really mean teens that like to pick on everyone smaller than them and have no respect for anyone's stuff!" Bubbles added.
The Professor chuckled lightly. "Oh believe me when I say that Veronica is nothing like the Gangreen Gang. She's one of the smartest girls in her class. Always getting straight A's and has the highest honor rolls…"
"Oh that's so impressive!" Blossom stated excitedly.
"…she's also captain of her own roller derby team and has beaten up plenty of boys in kickboxing…"
"No way!" Buttercup shouted happily.
"…not to mention she volunteers at a shelter where she helps take care of orphaned baby animals."
Bubbles didn't actually say anything when she heard this. She simply released a joyful scream that caused the house to shake quite a bit.
"When does she get here? When does she get here? When does she get here?!" the girls asked jumping with anticipation.
That was when they heard the sound of a bus stopping outside.
"Ah that must be her now." The Professor answered, walking to the door. "I'll let her in and let you get better acquainted."
He opened the door and was face to face with a petite girl who had short black hair with side bangs, big light brown eyes, and fair skin. She wore a grey flowy top over a black undershirt, black denim pants that were fashionably ripped, and black combat boots. She greeted the Professor with a nervous smile.
"Hello, you must be Professor Utonium," she spoke timidly. "I'm Veronica Sawyer. It's truly an honor to finally meet you."
"Hello there Veronica," he replied friendly. "It's very nice to meet you as well. Please do come in."
"I've got to be honest Professor," Veronica began as she gathered up her things and entered the house. "This is a bit overwhelming for me. Not only are you a brilliant scientist, but you're also the brilliant scientist that had the genius to create the Powerpuff Girls. It really was no contest when it came to deciding who to intern for."
The Professor chuckled modestly. "Oh well you can rest assure that I am just a regular man. There's no need to be too nervous while you're here. And my girls are like every other child. You know, other than the whole 'saving the day on a regular basis' thing. Ah, speaking of which, here they are."
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup stood in front of the two with huge friendly smiles on their faces.
"Hi!" they said.
"Hello…" Veronica replied with a slight tremble in her voice.
The Powerpuff Girls were right in front of her. It was all like some kind of great dream. She didn't know what to say about the whole situation without mixing up her words. Thankfully she didn't have to come up with anything since Bubbles was the first to speak up.
"You're really pretty!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah, and your boots are way cool!" Buttercup commented next. "They look like they can really squish some stuff!"
"Aww well thanks." Veronica responded with a genuine smile. They truly were sweet like everyone said.
"Would you like for us to show you to your room?" Blossom offered. "We can help you with your stuff too."
"Oh I'd like that very much. But you don't have to carry anything. Just lead the way and I'll foll-"
But the girls were now taking her things and flying up and down the stairs as they gathered more. Veronica observed it all in awestruck, looking back and forth with her mouth agape.
"Um well they certainly are polite." She claimed awkwardly.

Dear Diary,
Today has been quite a whirlwind. Figuratively and literally speaking; the Girls caused a small one when taking up my stuff. I arrived to their home this afternoon and after they helped me unpack, I got to hang out with them for a bit before going down to the basement where Professor Utonium showed me his lab.
Blossom is really intelligent for her age. She kept asking me questions about my studies and telling me about the current novel she was reading. I can now say that I know a five year old who has read War and Peace. Twice.
Buttercup is pretty cool. When the Professor told her about my roller derby team and my kickboxing, she wanted me to teach her some moves. We roller skated outside for a few minutes and afterwards I taught her some moves I learned in kickboxing. I pray for the next villain that gets in her way.
Oh and Bubbles is absolutely adorable! She showed me all her stuffed animals and even drew a picture of me with a puppy as a sort of welcome present. Gotta remember to take her to the animal shelter tomorrow. I know she'll love that.
So yeah today was actually great once I got the hang of who the girls were as individuals and not only superheroes. They all really were like regular people once you looked past their extraordinary reputations. They definitely live up to them though.
And ya know, ya know, ya know
Life can be beautiful.
You hope, you dream, you pray,
And you get your way!
Ask me how it feels
Looking like hell on wheels...
My God, it's beautiful...
It's a beautiful frickin' day!
