One Day ...
by "Lord" Andy
chapter one
One day while the Powerpuff Girls were at school, the hotline started ringing.
"Bubbles, can you get that?" Buttercup asked as she continued to cut out shapes in a piece of paper she had.
A large smile spread over Bubbles face. She usually never got to answer the hotline. Putting down the crayons she was using for her drawing, she skipped on over to the ringing phone.
"Wait a minute, you can't do that!" Blossom suddenly shouted out from behind the book she was reading. "I'm the one who always answers the phone! Besides, since when did you have the authority to make such an order? You always forget that I'm the leader. Only I answer the phone!"
Jumping up, Blossom ran past Bubbles almost knocking her down. Then she picked up the phone and started talking to the Mayor. Bubbles sighed unhappily, looking down at the floor in sadness. Blossom never let her answer the hotline. It just wasn't fair!
Blossom hung up the phone. "Come on girls, looks like Mojo is at it again with some new weapon."
"You mean that evil monkey is at it again?" Bubbles asked.
"Well duh!" Buttercup moaned. "Do we know any other people named Mojo, stupid?"
"Don't call me stupid!" Bubbles shouted, stomping her foot in frustration. This made Blossom grumble to herself. Bubbles can be so childish.
Buttercup was about to say something, but Blossom spoke first. "No need to be cranky because I wouldn't let you answer the hotline, Bubbles! Now lets go!"
The three flew out off the roof of the school and quickly found Mojo outside of Townsville Park a few blocks inside the city. He was holding a sinister looking weapon, with a tube of blue liquid in the front and a large exhaust on the back. Just another one of Mojo's annoying little invention.
"You've met your match now annoying Powerpuff Girls!" Mojo shouted. He pulled a lever sticking out of the side of his newest edition to his ever-growing arsenal. The tube of thick blue liquid at the end of the large firearm started pulsating and humming and an increasing rate.
"Oh please Mojo!" Blossom groaned while rolling her eyes, almost getting embarrassed for having yet another spiel with their maniacal nemesis. "Why do you even keep trying. Not one of your plans have ever worked ever!"
"So why don't you just put the weapon done and walk your sorry little butt to the prison." Buttercup grumbled, waving Mojo away with her hand. "That way we won't have to break anything."
"We said it before, we'll say it again," Blossom declared. "The Powerpuff Girls never loose!"
"Duh!" Bubbles chimed in, a tint of anger behind her voice. Apparently she was still mad at Blossom.
"Silence! Quiet! Speak no more!" Demanded a fist waving Mojo. "I've spent many weeks building the strongest and fastest laser that I have ever built. It will finally defeat you, it will finally stop you, and it will finally make you all a threat to me no longer. This is to say "
While Mojo continued his constant ramblings about the stuff he always says every time they fight, the girls sighed and looked at each other in boredom.
"Do you just want me to fly down there and kick his butt?" Buttercup asked, pointing to the babbling simian twenty stories below them.
"Gee, will you let her do that?" Bubbles asked Blossom, sarcasm filling her voice. "Or is that another thing that only you can do?"
"Yeah, I don't even see why the Mayor even calls for us when Mojo attacks." Buttercup complained to Blossom, who didn't seem to be fully listening. "From now on, when Mojo attacks, let's just have one of us go."
"Now you know we can't do that you two." Blossom half-heartedly explained. "We're a team, and as a team we always do things together. And that means all three of us go to take out Mojo. Who knows, he might have a serious plan this time."
"What, you think that chattering monkey down there will actually come up with something smart one of these days?" Buttercup asked, pointing to their villain who was still talking to himself. "I think he does a better job then you do at least."
"Mojo makes smart things? I thought only Blossom was supposed to come up with the smart things?" Bubbles defiantly asked. Blossom was surprised by another outburst, and Buttercup laughed to herself a bit.
"I dunno Bubbles," Buttercup slyly replied, "Sometimes I wonder who has the better plans - Blossom or Mojo."
"It doesn't matter whose plans are better!" Blossom yelled while waving her arms in desperation. "It's the same old thing - Mojo thinks up a lame idea and we stop him together. Now let's stop all this arguing and put an end to this monkey business. We can talk about this at a safer time."
"Girl we can float up here all we want." Buttercup defied Blossom, which only made her cross her arms in frustration. "It's not like Mojo's going ever going to come through with something. I tell you, your plans are just getting worse and worse all the time."
"My plans are getting worse?" Blossom gasped, in shock that such defiance had suddenly come up. "What's wrong with this plan? We go in, we stop Mojo, and we do it together! What's so wrong with that?"
"Well maybe if you'd let me answer the phone once in a while, I would have a little more faith in your plans!" Bubbles surprisingly blurted out.
Blossom was taken back by the yelling from Bubbles. She was not only shocked, but also hurt. By now she had completely forgotten about Mojo and his powerful weapon.
" and furthermore, this weapon is powerful. It is much more powerful then you! I have calculated it to be much more powerful then anything! It is fast, it is strong, it is ingenious, it is oh what the heck, I'll just show you."
Himself getting tired of his own ramblings to a deaf crowd, Mojo picked up his loudly humming weapon and took careful aim through the ray's sophisticated scope. Picking out a target between the three Powerpuffs who were in the middle of their argument, he checked the aim once more, then pulled the trigger.
The instant the blast went out, all the windows in the surrounding blocks blew out due to the deafening shock wave. The recoil of the device was a bit more powerful then Mojo had anticipated. The impact knocked him half a mile down the road till he came to a skidding stop. The simian's ears were ringing and his arms were shaking due to the immense blast that came from the ray. In fact, the echo of the shot was still chiming between the streets of Townsville.
But all of this happened after the initial projectile of the laser.
It all happened so fast, it took her a few seconds to figure out what happened. The three Powerpuffs were just floating when they felt a huge rush of air. The air around them grew much hotter then before, but then died down instantly. And yet a split second before any of that even happened, Blossom felt a strong burning sensation in her chest. Her eyes going wide and letting out a huge gasp, Blossom's arms swung around a few times before she started plummeting towards Earth. Her sisters could only stare in shock as Blossom dropped out of the sky and continued to fall in a spin until she landed hard on her back on the street below.
"Blossom!" Buttercup and Bubbles shouted in unison, dashing towards the ground below to where their sister had been knocked out of the sky. Buttercup stopped a few feet above the ground and just gazed in concern. Bubbles, however, continued until she landed right next to her pink sister's side. The crowds that to this point had been hiding out were slowly peeking from their corners.
"Blossom, are you okay?" Bubbles asked frantically, kneeling beside her on the left.
"Yeah, it looked like Mojo almost got you there!" Buttercup said. Both of them sat there waiting for an answer, but Blossom didn't say anything. In fact, they realized she wasn't even moving.
"Blossom, are you okay?" Bubbles asked again, this time with more concern in her voice. But once again, Blossom made no response. She hadn't even open her eyes yet.
Getting scared, Bubbles reached over and grabbed hold of Blossom's arm and started shaking it. "Come on Blossom, wake up! Wake up Blossom! Blossom, you're scaring me!" She started shaking her arm harder, rocking Blossom's limp body. But there was still nothing.
"Buttercup, what's wrong with Blossom?" Bubbles asked her hovering sister. Buttercup made no response, but just stared at Blossom with a blank expression.
Turning her attention back to her unmoving sister, Bubbles rubbed the tears starting to form in her eyes. Then she grabbed onto Blossom's dress and started tugging on it, desperately trying to get her sister to wake up. She called her name, again and again, but Blossom never answered. Suddenly she noticed that her knees were getting wet. Curious, she looked down and saw that her white stockings had somehow turned red. Looking some more, she saw that it was from a small but slowly growing red puddle surrounding Blossom, like she had landed on some container full of some liquid. But it was when she saw that the same sticky substance was on her hands from touching the front of Blossom's torn dress, the horrible, horrible truth suddenly dawned on her.
"Blossom! NOOO!!" Bubbles screamed, throwing her arms around her sister and burying her face in her stomach. Then she started bawling like she had never bawled before. Her tears flowed all over her face, soaking Blossom's pink dress.
While Bubbles was practically screaming her head off, Buttercup continued to float there, the same blank expression on her face. For a while, it seemed like she couldn't do anything else. Then suddenly, she floated down behind Blossom's head by her hair bow. Bubbles crying was only getting louder, as Buttercup slowly reached her hand forward and placed it on Blossom's red-haired head.
"Blossom?" Buttercup slowly muttered, giving her a little shake. When the only answer she got was silence as well, she slowly wrapped her arms around Blossom's head. Her lips quivering, she slowly lowered herself until he was lying on top of Blossom' head in a hug. Then she started crying, and it was almost as loud as Bubbles' crying.
Everybody surrounding them fell silent, unable to think, move, or even speak. The most unimaginable and unthinkable had happened - they had just lost one of their precious Powerpuff Girls. They all stood there, the two remaining Puff crying their eyes out. After a few minutes, Bubbles stopped crying enough to look up at her sister Buttercup.
"This is all your fault!" She suddenly said, her face puffing up with anger.
"My fault?" Buttercup gasped, her head jerking up from her lifeless sister.
"If you hadn't argued with her, she would still be alive!" Cried Bubbles.
"We argue all the time, she's used to that!" Buttercup shouted, rubbing the tears out of her eyes. "It's arguing with you she's not used to! So if it's anyone's fault that Blossom was just killed, it's yours!"
As Bubbles thought about this, her eyes got wider and wider with fear. Suddenly, she shot up into the like a rocket, crying her hardest once again.
"Wait Bubbles, come back here!" Buttercup yelled, realizing that she probably just caused Bubbles to fly off to parts unknown. She shot up after her sister, and in a matter of seconds they were both completely out of view.
The citizens of Townsville stood around, not knowing what to think when they heard a weapon reloading. They stopped looking up to the sky to see Mojo standing over Blossom's body, his weapon ready to be used again.
"Looks like today is my day!" Mojo laughed.
