Setting of the Story: Tokyo City, Year 2035

Chapter 1: To Appreciate

Chapter Start

(School, Tokyo City, May 22, 2035)

A girl with orange hair barged into the classroom. "Sorry, I'm late!"

"Just take your seat, Momoko." Ms. Keane sighed. It was not like this was the first time Momoko was late to class. Nor was it her second. Chances are she had more tardy records in her attendance than all the class combined, though this must be an exaggeration.

"Thank you, Keane-sensei." Momoko bowed and went to her seat.

"Now that we are complete class, let's start on our lesson." Ms. Keane started her lecture. Soon, in the middle of the lecture, Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru started to have simultaneous sudden odd illnesses and injuries and excused themselves to the infirmary.

"Those three must be cutting, sensei," said one of the students. "They're always doing this. I mean, Momoko had more visits to the infirmary this month than the rest of the class for the whole year. Same goes for Miyako and Kaoru."

"I doubt that. They are nice girls..." Ms. Keane said, in the corner of her eye seeing three streaks of light shoot across the horizon. 'The Powerpuff Girls Z. Are thosethree girls even attending class? Always streaking off to save the city. I wonder about their education.'

(Later that day...)

"That dumb Mojo got what he deserved." Kaoru smirked, "Sheesh, he's always causing trouble during class hours."

"I worry for your grades. It must be taking a dip from all this saving the world business." Ken raised his eyebrows.

"Who needs grades if we can whoop evil monkey butt?" Kaoru shrugged. Momoko and Miyako laughed at the remark. Ken, however, took this question straight.

"Just because you are the Powerpuff Girls Z, doesn't mean you get to skip out on studying." Ken asserted. "You guys should really start concentrating on school. Dad and I can handle the Powerpuff tasks for you during class hours.

"And let you have all the fun? No thanks." Momoko said, shaking her head. "That's a Super Heroine's job."

"Yup!" Miyako smiled at Momoko's straightforward answer.

"Oh come on, you three... I wish you would concentrate on your studies more." Ken sighed. "Go home already. You still have school tomorrow."

"Ok." The trio stood up and left the lab.

"See you tomorrow!" Momoko shouted at the other two.

"You too!" Miyako smiled back.

"Maybe we'll get to beat up Mojo Jojo again." Kaoru grinned. Momoko smiled in response. Soon the other two were nowhere in sight.

"Ok, time to go home and have dinner." Momoko walked toward her home.

(Momoko's House)

She arrived home and ate dinner. During dinner, her parents started fussing over her.

"The teacher just sent a notice to us that you went to the infirmary, yet again." Momoko's father asserted.

"I'm fine, father." Momoko said, still stuffing her mouth full with food.

"You sure?" Momoko's mom asked, worried. "Maybe you should stay home tomorrow."

"I'm not sick, mom." Momoko grinned. "I'm still going to school tomorrow."

"You should change that personality of yours. You're always eating sweets, crushing on random boys you don't even know, and act like you are one of the Powerpuff Girls Z!" Momoko's dad sighed.

"I like the way I am right now." Momoko pouted. "I'm not changing my attitude, even for you, dad." She stood up and walked to her room. Soon, she was fast asleep.

"I wish she would just learn to listen to us more..." Momoko's mom sighed.

(Momoko's POV)

"Change my personality? That's absurd." I sighed.

"Hello." I heard a voice.

"Who's there?" I stood up.

"I … ... Can you ...?" The voice asks. The rest of the sentence was a blur.

"Me? Give...?" I spluttered out. I still don't remember the other words

"Can you ...? Can you ...?" the voice continued asking. I don't recall the exact words, only the fact that each question is different from the other.

"I don't know, maybe." I remember myself answering.

"Will you willingly do it?"

"I don't know... But I'll do it. What do I have to do?" I said bravely.

"Don't worry, I'll handle everything."

"Ok..." I said. There wasn't much else to say. I didn't hear anything anymore except an odd ringing. A familiar ringing. One that sounded like my alarm clock. Wait a minute... ALARM CLOCK?"

(Normal POV, May 23, 2035)

Momoko stood up, slapped the alarm clock, got ready, and sped off to school, taking her necessities with her. She ran her fastest and ended up arriving just in time.

"Made it..." Momoko sighed, taking her seat. Ms. Keane arrived and started the class.

(Soon at that same hour)

"My head hurts. I would like to excuse myself to the infirmary." Kaoru jumped up. Miyako also excused herself, saying she her arm hurt. This time, however, Momoko didn't stand. Kaoru and Miyako stared at Momoko for a few seconds before speeding out of the room.

"Oy, Momoko..." One classmate poked the redhead. "How odd that you didn't get some sort of wacko injury or something. One would think that the infirmary would be quite empty without you."

"Now that's not nice." A female student next to Momoko said. "I mean, Momoko does have the right to not get a disease at the same time as Kaoru and Miyako."

"Momoko? You haven't said a word since the beginning of class." Another student said. Momoko looked a bit like a statue, not moving except for her belly, which is breathing. Momoko was also staring into space. The student didn't like it so she tapped Momoko lightly on the shoulder.

"Momoko?" The student asked. This time she tapped Momoko a bit harder, causing Momoko to fall from her chair to the floor.

"MOMOKO!" Ms. Keane stood up and rushed to the side of the student, as the rest of the class did.

"What happened?" Ms. Keane worriedly checked her for injuries. Then she heaved the child and decided to take her to the infirmary. The students were instructed to copy some notes while waiting for Ms. Keane to come back.

"Well, what do you know? Momoko still made it to the infirmary after all." A male student remarked. This time, however, there is no laughter to be heard anywhere, only a couple of glares sent his way.

(Infirmary)

"So that's the case, doctor." Ms. Keane nervously explained the events to the doctor. The nurse wasn't able to help the girl, so they called the doctor. But now, it looked like the doctor can't do much either except do some tests on the oddly comatose Momoko.

"I don't know. I haven't heard of such a case. A perfectly healthy child suddenly starting to show symptoms in the middle of class. Not only that, only she showed signs, meaning it is not contagious. There's a possibility it being deadly. I will need to conduct a few tests first, before telling you what I think it is."

"I think we will need her parents' consent, first." Ms. Keane said. Then she thought silently. 'Deadly? Why does this have to happen on my class hour?'

"Very well." The doctor said. "I shall be heading to the hospital now, to conduct a few tests." The doctor left the infirmary. Ms. Keane was so worried about Momoko that she didn't notice Miyako and Kaoru not being in the infirmary, despite excusing themselves to it.

(Back in Class)

"What!" Kaoru spluttered. "Momoko is sick!"

"Shouldn't you two know? You were in the infirmary." The male student glared at the girl. "Unless, you were cutting classes, of course." Kaoru didn't trust herself to talk and sat down in the seat without a murmur. Miyako also did the same thing. Kaoru looked at the school grounds to see Momoko's mom rushing into the school.

"This must be bad. Really bad." Kaoru murmured. The whole class was silent throughout the day. As soon as class ended did a noise emit from the section.

"Who votes we visit Momoko?" The class representative stood up. There was a murmur of agreement (the ones against the visit to the hero maniac girl didn't bother speaking), which ended in the class standing up and going to the infirmary. They discover that Momoko was no longer in the infirmary. The nurse told them her mom moved her to the hospital. She also told them that she woke up.

(Flashback)

"Momoko?" Her mom started worrying for the child. It wasn't everyday she were called to school to visit her child that is in the infirmary

"She simply won't wake up, Ms. Akatsutsumi." The nurse said to the distraught mother.

"When will she wake up?" Her mom asked.

"We don't know..." The nurse answered.

"I'll take her to the hospital." Ms. Akatsutsumi stood up. As soon as she started to head for the phone, Momoko woke up. The nurse helped her sit up.

"Momoko, are you alright?" The worried mom asked. Momoko looked at her mom, and said three words. Three words that brought the mother to tears.

The words were, "Who are you?"

Chapter End

My second fic... And I'm not even done with my first. But I just HAD to make this one. I wonder why I made this fic since I'm not a big fan of Powerpuff Girls Z. Oh well; it's made and posted so no use bothering about it.
