Well I got quite a few alerts and faves for this story which is great but the first time I posted this I got 11 reviews for the first chapter, but I think I waited about a week before putting up the second chapter... oh well I just couldn't wait, and so you know the third chapter will not be as quick as this one was.

Thanks to those that reviewed, I love you guys!

The Rowdyruffs Pov only.

Full Summary: Ten year old Brick, Boomer, and Butch have accidentally come across one of Him's little toys... and of course them being who they are they manage to break it. Only afterwards they find out that it was not a toy like they had originally thought... it was something much more dangerous and very powerful.

Soon they awake to a time very different than their own, a time seven years into the future where they find many things have changed mainly... themselves, they come to realize that they have awoken as teenagers.

If you think that's bad listen to this, in order not to be found out by Him they now have to act like their teenage selves would act. A lot easier said than done seeing as they have no knowledge of anything that's going on around them let alone what has happened in all these years. And here's an interesting question while their in the future playing out their older selves where are the Rowdyruffs of that time period at?

Chapter 2: Day 1- We're Teenagers?

Brick's POV

Is that really... the Powerpuff Girls!? They look, well older and different especially my counterpart... I can't really seem to take my eyes off of her she just looks so... different. Different than I would think she would look, not that I've ever gave it much thought or any thought for that matter, about how she would look like as a teenager.

Her being older is surprise all in itself, but the way she looks really caught me off guard and threw me for a loop all at the same time. I would never ever have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Blossom cut her hair it's just barely to her shoulders and spiked it out at the ends it kinda reminds me of Buttercup's hairstyle back home... also she isn't wearing a ribbon... and her boobs are huge... well that's big a change but it's a good one at least. She also seems to be glaring... and I think it's at me, ya it's most definitely at me.

Why is it she always looks at me with that look, my brothers are just as guilty as I am when it comes to the crimes we commit but still I'm the only one she gets pissed off at... how is that even fair? Well at least she looks hot when she's mad that's an improvement... but I don't think telling her that would be the smartest idea at the moment. I now get the saying it looks could kill... I wonder what I've done this time?

Well at least Buttercup seems to be in a pissy mood too, so it's not just me this time that's a relief... taking a look over at Butch I see his attention is on his counterpart too. I guess my brothers counterparts have changed too... but not as much, with a quick glance over to the right at Bubbles she still looks like a weak crybaby to me. Her hair which is still in pigtails, is longer now. She should have outgrown that years ago... hey wait her hair is longer than Blossoms' now and it's somewhat curly too, or maybe spiral like.

Then I glance to my left at Buttercup, well she hasn't changed really except her hair is just pass her shoulders and has green and blue highlights it's longer than Blossom's too... I think shes' going for a goth punk look or something. Yup she even has the gothic punk make up...

Now what, do we fight, talk, are we even still enemies? By the looks their giving us I'm pretty sure that's a very big yes, but I really wonder besides the obvious changes on the outside what has changed on the inside. Because past what I see on the surface I can tell some very deep emotions are just waiting to burst out.

I wonder how I know that though... it's almost like I can feel their anger and is that pain?

Butch's POV

Her hair is still short and she still looks like a tomboy too though a sexy one... who'd ever think I'd think that about her.. wait, I just thought that about Buttercup. Eww, gross that's disgusting... I think I must have hit my head harder than I originally thought in the explosion. I can't believe I thought that and that I'm still alive, my head should have exploded... it needs to so I can forget I ever thought that.

Needing to clear my head so I look at the other two Powderpuffs, the blue one still looks like the baby that she is... bet she's still scared of the dark too. Now the pink puff, the leader of those sissy girls, she's changed the most... short hair looks good on her but she'd probably be cuter with long hair...

Damn it, what's wrong with me! She not cute at all, and Buttercup's not sexy! They are both ugly, sissy, boring little girls... okay not little girls anymore but their still girls so the're yucky!

Insulting Boomer should get my head back in the game, I look over only to find that he's still staring at his counterpart and he looks... upset... sad?

What the hell?

Boomer's an idiot, it's best to just forget about whatever is going on between him and the blue puff. Looking over at Brick, which is something I should have done to begin with, he always has the answers or at least comes up with a half decent plan most of the time. Of course, I'm leaning towards fighting... but I'll wait for the order since it doesn't seem like those dumb girls are gonna do anything but glare at us. But does he always have to think of so many strategies and scenarios at the same time that's why he always takes forever to choose one?

This could take all day...

Boomer's POV

That's Bubbles...

She's wearing her hair is in pigtails still but it's longer to her waist, it has some light blue highlights, and it's a little curly looking too... but she's gotten cute when'd that happen? Well okay she's always been kinda cute but now she's pretty.. really pretty, but I wonder what's wrong she doesn't seem to be angry like her sisters... actually she looks kinda sad.

And she's looking at me with that sadness... did I make her sad?

Brick's POV

Hearing a blast from my left and I look over to see that Buttercup has thrown an energy attack at Butch who looks like he was caught off gaurd because his arm was a grazed a little. Butch throws some insults and other words I've never heard in his already colorful vocabulary before and starts a head on attack.

"Hey Brick, catch!" I turn my attention back to Blossom in time to see her throwing a rather large energy attack at me, "What the hell!" I nearly shout as I barely dodge it... that would have done some serious damage... even if we are stronger now which I'm betting we are, that could have hurt me pretty badly.

"What are you trying to do kill me?" I say while finally glaring back at her, she just returns the glare with a very determined look in her eyes... and also something else something strong, and it makes me want to blow something up. I just shake the feeling off and look right back at her face only avoiding eye contact.

She's serious is'nt she, damn... this probably isn't still about her stupid ribbon. I get a feeling it's much more serious, and I'm starting to feel strange again... Man, I feel like I just killed her cat or something...

Boomer's POV

As I watch my brothers fighting with their counterparts I take a look at mine, but for some reason she isn't attacking me like theirs' did.

Maybe I should say something to her, but what should I say?

She looks so sad... I feel like I'm the reason, and for once that doesn't make me happy that I might be the reason she's upset. It's probably because I've never seen her look sad like this, it's a different kind of sad and I don't like it one bit. I want to do something but I don't know how, I've never had to cheer anybody up before, so I'd probably just make things worse. Maybe I should still try though...

"Umm... Bubbles...?"

Great now she's looking at me what do I say now...

"Er... why do you look sad... not that I care... or anything."

I cross my arms and try to act like I mean that... but I don't because I want to help her but I can't make myself look weak while I do it, and now she's glaring at me... great I knew I was no good at being nice... "I know you don't... care, you don't care at all! So just leave me alone okay!" Tears well up in her eyes but she doesn't let them fall, she just turns to watch her sisters fight.

I never seen her like this, and even though she's really sad the saddest I've ever seen her, she still kept her tears from falling... is she trying to be strong in front of me?

Does she think I'll make fun of her if she cries... well I've done it before, great now I feel even worse. I guess I could always try again...

"...Um."

I can't think of anything to say though, this is so stupid I don't have to do this it's not my problem! But it was me somehow I know that I was the one that made her sad, and I don't even know how I did it, why do I even care anyways? I've made her cry before, it's the same thing... I'm just seeing things that aren't there! But it is there, and it's not the same... at least those times I knew what I did to make her cry so maybe that's what's really bothering me not knowing what I did.

Well she's not letting her tears out, she's strong enough to hold them back... so maybe she'll get over it... though if I knew what I did maybe I could change it, I could try anyways and then she wouldn't have to be strong enough to get over it.

So when we go back home I could try and change the future?

"You cannot change the future because there is nothing to change. The future is not here yet."

My head snaps up and I look over at Bubbles who still isn't looking at me, did I say that out loud?

"No... you didn't."

Brick's POV

Before when I fought with her was just because I was bored or wanting to annoy her but still I gave it my all then, and now it seems to be a fight to the death and I'm holding back. I'm over the fact that she killed me before and I've been over it for a while now, I'm alive again aren't I? Besides she was aiming to beat me when we first meet and I was aiming to destroy her so it was karma or some shit like that.

So I don't hold anything against her or her sisters, Butch is the only one of us that still does. Besides if I killed her who would I have left to fight with...

Not counting my brothers of course... but still fighting them can only be so much fun, I wonder when Blossom got so serious about all this, it can't be because of the ribbon... even though she can hold grudges for a while. I catch her right fist but this time I don't let go so she throws her left one at me and I catch it too, "Blossom... why are we fighting like this?"

Okay I admit the first few times I wanted her to be serious like she is now because I did want to kill her but... now I like to fight with her.. I don't want one of us to really win, because then we wouldn't be able to fight anymore. She tries to pull her fists back but I'm not letting go until she answers me, I can be just as stubborn as she can so I'm going to get my answer one way or another.

"Why...? You know danm well why!"

Then she swings her right knee towards me fast but I somehow dodged most of the blow but still I get hit... and I let go of her hands in the process. I'm aware now that I've been fighting that I'm faster and stronger but I'm not sure how to fight in this body, it's new and strange even though it's mine, this has to stop she'll win if it keeps going on like this.

Maybe if I keep talking I can get through to her, I have no doubt whatsoever that she will be angry with just defeating me or with me retreating... she's going for the kill this time. It's written all over her face... it's in the tone of her voice and I'm sure if I could look into her eyes it would be in there too.

"No... I don't."

She laughs a little but it's far from a happy laugh... it actually doesn't sound anything like her at all, has she changed more than I first thought?

"What are you trying to pull here Brick?"

"I'm not trying to pull anything."

I can tell already she doesn't believe me, not that that's anything new... I mean I've lied before but not about anything too serious, at least as far as I know I haven't. "Well you're obviously up to something... and what ever it is won't work because I'm through talking!" She says as she charges back at me with another type of energy attack I didn't know she had... damn where do they all keep coming from, do I have any new attacks?

Butch's POV

"You're pretty good... but I'm much better!" I say as I use another power I didn't even know I had... throwing things with my mind awesome and so is this teenage body of mine! It's so much stronger and faster and these new techniques aren't half bad either, I could so get use to this... maybe what Brick did was a good thing after all.

I wonder what else I can do...

"Oh, ya we'll see who the better one is!" She tosses a car off of her and gets ready for her next attack.

I just smirk, I'm too powerful I can't possibly lose.

"Bring it!"

Brick's POV

Well, I think I'm getting a bit better at handling this body of mine but...

Even though I'm curious about how much I've improved and I might test that out later when I'm not battling against Blossom. Just as I dodge her energy blast I get hit with her fist and the suddenly... "Where the hell-"

"I see the three of you are finally here!"

Three... I glance behind me and sure enough there are my brothers and Butch looks pissed... and Boomer well he looks as confused as I feel. Then I turn to the voice that had something familiar about it and what I see is a little grayish monkey...

"Mojo!"

He looks old- uh er... standing before us is a small, when did he get so small... gray talking monkey... which can only be Mojo. "Yes, now hurry... you three are running very late! You are late by all of five minutes, and you being late is-" He says pointing at his watch while still taking... since when does Mojo have a watch?

Well somethings never change, man is he still talking? Yup and he's still repetitive... I tune out his ramblings about 'late' 'five minutes' 'late' 'hurry' 'five minutes' well you get it... he's basically saying the same thing over and over only using different words.

"Late for what?"

But before this old-er Mojo can answer my question Butch buts in saying, "Who cares about that... what the hell are we doing here I was in the middle of a fight! And I was winning!" Something crashes very loudly in another room... looking towards the way the sound came I see nothing strange... but it's times like this I wish I had Boomer's X-ray version, though Mojo seems to be ignoring it so it's probably nothing.

Mojo just smiles evilly... his still does that at his age, that can't be to healthy.

"You can continue to pound those stupid girls after your Birthday party!"

What it's our birthday... wait, "Um, how old are we?"

I look back over to see Boomer who has yet to say anything, he's still looking confused about the sudden change of scenery... he's a little slow on the up take. "Ha, and you say Mojo is forgetful when in fact it is you that is-" I cut him off by reminding him that we are running late, "Oh, well yes you three are turning..." He starts to count on his fingers then takes off his boots to count his toes, he's gone senile.

"Seventeen." He answers while putting his boots back on.

Seventeen!

We just turned ten... so what does that mean, maybe we have to live out this whole year like what was shown in that ball, that can't be can it? No way... I'm finding a way out of here and soon I'm not planning on spending any more time than necessary here... even if I am a little curious.

"Awesome, will there be cake!?"

Well, looks like Boomer's back to normal, but I still don't know how we got here either.

"Mojo, how did we get to your lab anyways?" Mojo just looks at his watch and says, "Him teleported you, now hurry up! The guests will be here soon!"

Since when can Him do that? Wait, guests... did he say guests? We've never had people come to our birthdays before... I wonder who all is coming, well I don't think it'll hurt just to stay for our birthday party but after that I'm finding a way out of here!
