It was a mildly warm, but sunny day in the City of Townsville. The birds were chirping outside, causing a bit of a racket, but nobody cared anyway. People were casually strolling in the neighborhood, some women pushing their babies in strollers. There were smiling babies, crying babies, sleeping babies, and then there were just plain old crabby babies.
Speaking of babies, Professor Utonium, a scientist and college professor, was getting ready for a meeting at the Townsville Institution Of Science and Health. But he couldn't leave his 6-month-old baby triplets home by themselves. He was going to be gone for 5 hours, and the institution was far away, so he would have to drive an hour and a half, have the 2-hour meeting, then drive back home with the same amount of time. So he hired a babysitter to watch over them while he was gone. Hopefully, it will go very smoothly.
Utonium tucked his black tie into a casual white shirt, while babies Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were sitting in a playpen. All of them were just sitting there, well, being babies. Blossom, on the other hand, was being fussy. And when she began crying, the professor rushed to the playpen and scooped her up.
"Shhhhhh... It's okay, Blossom..." he said quietly as he patted her back. "I bet you're gonna love your new babysitter."
He placed her back down. Then he walked away to continue getting ready. The three girls look at each other, worrying who the babysitter was going to be. Blossom, the leader of the three, crawled to the front of the playpen, watching Professor Utonium in fear.
