Taming the Wild One
"Blossom? Could you come give me a hand in the lab, please?" called the young, dark haired man by the name of Professor Utonium from his laboratory.
Blossom Utonium was in the living room, along with her two sisters, reading a thick book she was currently absorbed by.
"Coming Professor!" responded Blossom in her regular, cheery voice. She gently folded the corner of the page and closed it, laying it on the couch.
As she flew off to her creator, her two sisters were intently focused on a video game. Buttercup's eyes narrowed onto the television screen as her fingers darted rapidly across her remote control. Bubbles, however, was confused by the game and had no idea what was going on.
"C'mon, Buttercup, why did you pick this game?" whined Bubbles as she eyed the box of the game labeled 'Street Fighters'.
"Because I'm not going to play that dumb game 'Bunny Rescuers' with you!" snapped Buttercup.
"But it's so cute! How could you resist the wittle bunny wabbits?" cooed Bubbles with a smile on her face.
Suddenly, the screen declared Buttercup's character as the winner of the battle.
"YES!" exclaimed Buttercup as she got up and fist pumped the air.
Bubbles threw her remote, annoyed. "That was no fun" she grumbled, getting up from the carpet and wiping her baby blue and black outfit.
"I thought it was pretty fun" said Buttercup triumphantly. Bubbles blew a raspberry at her sister.
Blossom walked in and looked at the screen. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Why can't you both play a game that you're both are good at?" she complained as she walked to the couch and opened her book.
Buttercup glared at her sister. "Why can't you play with us once and a while?" countered Buttercup. She suddenly snatched the book away from her sister's hand.
"Hey!" exclaimed Blossom.
"You always got your nose stuck in these things! It's summer break for crying out loud! Learn how to have fun for once!" said her sister as she waved the book in her hand.
"I know how to have fun!" said Blossom angrily. She snatched the book back from her sister.
"Alright then, play Street Fighters with me" said Buttercup, folding her arms across her chest and smirking at her sister.
"I'm not going to waste my time on some violent video game that melts your brain cells by the second" retorted Blossom as she opened her book and tried to tune out her sister.
"Whatever! You just don't want to play because you know that I can totally kick your butt in it" said Buttercup, returning to the game.
Blossom frowned and glared at her sister. "I bet I can beat you with my eyes closed!" growled Blossom as she slammed her book closed and went over to snatch the other remote.
Buttercup laughed. She knew that would get her sister's attention.
Bubbles rolled her eyes. Blossom always had a thing where she felt like she needed to prove herself to show others she was capable of other things.
"You can't do everything perfectly, Blossom. And I'm gonna show you that you can't beat me in Street Fighters!" taunted Buttercup.
"Oh, yeah? Watch me do everything perfectly then, and prepare to eat your words!" said a determined Blossom as she focused completely on the game.
Both of them had gone into 'competitive mode' and didn't even hear when the Powerpuff hotline rang.
"Um, guys?" Bubbles asked, eyeing between the phone and her two sisters. They didn't even acknowledge her.
Bubbles sighed and floated off to the phone. "Hello?"
"Oh, Bubbles! Those Rowdyruff Boys are causing mayhem the city again! We need your help!" cried the Mayor.
"We're on it Mayor!" Bubbles replied and rushed over to her sisters. "Buttercup! Blossom! The Rowdyruff Boys are destroying the city!" cried Bubbles over the noise of the television.
Bubbles was shocked when she got no response from them. Their eyes were ablaze with determination and completely fixed on the game. Bubbles growled and stormed over to unplug the game from the TV. Blossom and Buttercup suddenly froze and their gaze shifted from the dark screen over to Bubbles, who stood in front of them with a scowl on her face.
"Hey!" cried out Blossom.
"Yeah, what gives?" barked Buttercup, folding her arms across her chest.
"The Rowdyruff Boys are destroying the city!" hollered Bubbles, her patience completely gone.
Buttercup and Blossom exchanged looks and zipped out of the house, leaving a trail of pink and green light. Bubbles shook her head and smiled before trying to catch up with her sisters. Sometimes she wondered why they always called her the immature one.

Evil snickers were heard at the end of a dark alley. An innocent, little old lady clutched onto her purse tightly with fear stricken eyes darting back and forth quickly. A loud crash made her jump and her eyes narrowed forward.
"The Rowdyruff Boys!" she gasped in her croaky voice.
Three rambunctious boys stood a few feet away from her, devilish smiles plastered on their faces. The counterparts of the heroes of the city moved forward, the little old lady their target of their evil mischief.
"Give us your purse, you hag!" commanded the red leader. He glared lowly at her, trying to look as menacing as possible.
"There's n-nothing of interest to you in m-my purse" stammered the old lady.
The raven haired boy dressed in green sneered and stepped forward. "That's for us to decide. Now give it up, or else!" he threatened.
The old lady frowned. "You don't tell me what to do!" she remarked, waving her purse in her hand.
The third brother dressed in blue ceased the opportunity and quickly zipped towards her and snatched the purse out of the elders hand. The lady stood there, stunned for a couple of seconds. She looked at her now empty hand.
The leaded took the purse in his hands and the brothers laughed evilly while they emptied the contents of her purse, taking her wallet and pulling out a few bills.
"That's enough, boys!" called a defiant voice that came from behind.
All three boys turned around to see the Powerpuff Girls looking down on them, ready for combat. The owner of the voice was the leader, Blossom.
"That doesn't belong to you, Brick!" accused Blossom, taking steps towards her counterpart.
Brick smirked devilishly. "It does now" he said and took off into the sky, along with his brothers following closely behind him.
Blossom and Buttercup trailed after the boys. Bubbles approached the lady with a warm smile. "Are you okay, Miss?" she asked politely.
The old lady sighed. "Yes, dear, I'm fine. Although it would be nice to have my purse back" she told in a small voice.
"We'll get it back, don't you worry" reassured Bubbles. And with that, she took off into the sky to battle the Rowdyruff Boys.
Meanwhile, Blossom had taken on Brick and Buttercup with her counterpart, Butch, leaving Bubbles with Boomer.
Blossom matched Brick's speed perfectly in the air and shot lasers at his hand, trying to knock the purse out of his grip. He quickly dodged her attack and advanced forward, picking up speed. He managed to do a sharp U-turn and plowed right into Blossom. He took hold of her and sped towards a brick building.
Blossom quickly zapped him away with her lasers and he ended up crashing into a building. He cried out in pain but that did not stop Blossom from racing towards him to grab the purse. However, when she reached him, he saw that he was empty handed. He cracked open his eyes and smirked at her.
"Looking for something?" he mocked.
Blossom eyes darted in every direction and she finally spotted Butch with the purse in his hands.
"Buttercup! Butch has the purse!" she hollered.
Buttercup quickly charged towards Butch and delivered a powerful blow, knocking him into the ground with a loud crash. A crater formed around him and he was unconscious, the purse still in his hand.
Buttercup noticed that Bubbles was closer to the ground and quickly called her on it. "Bubbles! Go get the purse!" instructed Buttercup.
Bubbles was pulling on Boomers hair while he pulled her two ponytails. Her head snapped up, along with Boomer, when she heard her sister. Bubbles and Boomer exchanged a competitive glance and both darted towards Butch.
Buttercup, Blossom, and Brick then all sped towards the purse and they all arrived simultaneously with a loud BOOM!
All of them lay on the ground, groaning, with a large cloud of dust above their heads. When it all cleared up, they all turned their attention towards Blossom, who cried with joy. She had miraculously retrieved the purse.
"Alright, Blossom!" cheered Bubbles as she went to her sister to celebrate their victory. Buttercup blew out a sigh of relief.
The boys, however, were enraged. "DAMNIT!" hollered Brick. He took off his cap and threw it onto the ground angrily.
Boomer groaned in frustration and looked over at his brother, Butch, who was starting to regain consciousness. He blinked a few times, confused. "Wh-what happened?" he moaned.
"We lost…" grumbled Boomer, picking himself off from the ground.
Brick got up and pointed at the girls. "We WILL get you back for this, you brats!" he declared. He scooped his red cap and zipped away in a flash of red. Boomer and Butch quickly followed after him.
The three girls just laughed at the boy's stupidity and gave the old lady her purse back.
"What would Townsville do without you sweethearts?" said the lady with an appreciative tone in her voice.
"Just part of the job, Miss" stated Blossom and with the work done, the three girls headed home with heads held high.

Buttercup was watching television in the living room, though her mind was somewhere else. She still thought about her sister's immature remark earlier and she needed to come up with an idea to put her in her place.
Bubbles suddenly landed onto the couch. "Man, those Rowdyruff Boys sure are a lot to handle" she said, completely pooped from the fight.
It felt as if a light bulb had just appeared above Buttercups head. A genius idea had popped into her head the moment Bubbles mention the Rowdyruff Boys. "Oh, that's real good…" said Buttercup in a low voice with a smile tugging on the corners of her lips.
Bubbles looked at her sister with a puzzled look. "Huh?"
Buttercup ignored her and called Blossom into the room. She walked in and raised an eyebrow at her sisters expression. "What's up?" she asked.
"So, you still think you can do anything perfectly?" asked Buttercup innocently.
Blossom laughed. "Yes, of course!" she said.
"Alright then, why don't we make a bet?" proceeded Buttercup as she jumped off the couch.
Bubbles and Blossom looked at each other. "What kind of bet?" asked Blossom.
"If you say you can do anything so easily, let's make a bet that you can turn one of the Rowdyruff Boys into a good person!" challenged Buttercup.
Bubbles gasped. Blossom's eyes widened. Buttercup chuckled.
"What? Too much of a challenge for you?" teased her sister.
"What happens if I win the bet?" asked Blossom suddenly.
Bubbles smacked her forehead and shook her head. Buttercup smiled. "If you win, I'll admit that you can do anything perfectly. But if you lose…"
"Which I won't!" intervened Blossom quickly.
Buttercup rolled her eyes. "If you lose, you have to give up your place as the leader of the Powerpuff Girls and let me be the new leader!" finished Buttercup.
Blossom bit her bottom lip. She didn't think that Buttercup would take it this far, but she certainly did not want to look like a coward in front of her. If she agreed to the bet, she would put all of her strength and effort to prove herself, and most importantly, win the bet. And with the last thought, she smiled and gave a big nod.
"It's a deal then. Who am I taking on?" she asked, a gleam of determination in her large, pink eyes.
Buttercup smirked. "Brick. He's the leader of the Rowdyruff's and you're the current leader of the Powerpuff's, so it seems appropriate" she said. "Oh, and you have a month to do this. And I need to see proof that he actually changed, too" added Buttercup quickly.
"I think I deserve all the time I want. Perfection does take time, y'know…" retorted Blossom as she played with her hair innocently.
Buttercup sighed. "Fine. Take all the time you want. But you have to do it!" she exclaimed and then flew out of the room.
Bubbles stared at Blossom with a disapproving look. "Good luck to you" she said in a small voice and focused on the TV.
Blossom shrugged her shoulders. How hard can this be? I can do anything she thought to herself confidently.
Blossom did not realize that she had just gotten herself into something that would change not only one of the roughest villains, but would also change her outlook on her sworn enemy…
