AN: Hi~ I'm back! XD Thank you for the review! I'm glad my English isn't that bad. :D I sorta just like capitalizing the first two words when the scene shifts to another perspective or another POV~~ that's why it's like that. Anyway, I forgot to mention that the romance in this story is slow phased… Of course NOT snail slow but you'll get what I mean in the next few chapters…

Now… onto the next chapter! I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 2

"NO MEANS no!" Kaoru growled. "I won't believe it until I see 'em!"

"that's right!" Momoko said firmly, crossing her arms against her chest.

"it doesn't seem possible," Miyako admitted. "I'm sorry professor but I have to take Kaoru and Momoko's side in this,"

The professor sighed. "I know it is girls but," he gestured towards Peach and Ken. "we all saw it,"

"bah, this is nonsense!" Kaoru groaned. "let's head home and sleep. We'll be late for school tomorrow if we spend the night here, arguing with these three."

"agreed!" the other two powerpuffs shouted, scampering out of the lab.

"girls!- Wait!-"

"SO? HAS anyone packed yet?" Momoko beamed, facing Miyako and Kaoru.

"um," Miyako seemed to think. "since my grandma allowed me, I planned to fix up all my things when I got home from school today,"

Kaoru groaned. "it's no big deal! I'll just pack up tomorrow!"

"but Kaoru!" Momoko whined

Kaoru rolled her eyes at her. "we'll better catch the bell. Ms. Adeline doesn't seem to be fond of us,"

"I get that feeling too," Miyako shuddered. "she's not really a nice teacher," she admitted reluctantly.

Kaoru laughed. "at last! Miyako finally said something bad about someone!"

The first bell rang, abruptly stopping their conversation.

"Come on! Run!" Kaoru charged head on.

"wait for us Kaoru!" both Momoko and Miyako chased after her.

OKAY… SO, sneaking to town to buy books wasn't the brightest idea I've ever had considering what had happened yesterday.

But…

Somehow, I couldn't resist.

Since, before we got thrown into this mess of white and black Z rays, we three were sons of- er, how can I say it?- really really rich people.

I mean, really.

And we were brought up in a way that reading books isn't boring as well as studying, while computer games are childish.

I know right? I guess the old compulsions are back.

But anyway, I was wearing my black denim pants and a red shirt with a leather jacket, adding a cap in disguise. We usually dress up really professional back at our real house so casual clothes are super relief to us.

As well as uncomfortable.

My eyes were always a lighter when I don't transform. It looked pale like the eyes of my other two brothers when we're in human form. You could even easily mistake it for pink or something. My hair was short, reaching just a little below my ears, which were tucked in safely inside my cap.

I'm getting off topic now. Back to the matter at hand.

Sneaking to town to buy books wasn't the brightest idea I've ever had… since I'm face to face with the dreaded dog from yesterday right now.

My life be crushed to pieces.

I started to run.

"wait! Wait! Peach just came alone, de wan! I just want to talk to you, de wan!" the dog shouted before I could get far.

I tensed up, staring at it.

Should I..?

I didn't think it was a good idea. Why was I even considering it in the first place?!

"please, de wan!" the little piece of steel begged, wagging its tail.

I should say no right? But I'm a sucker for dogs. Well, I used to. Before the hit and the creating thing. Now though, that I've gotten my body back to normal, it's back to the same likes again.

"fine," I regretted saying. "but only for a minute,"

"sure, de wan!" the dog beamed- do metallic dogs even beam?- and trotted out to one of the vacant benches not far off. I followed and sat beside it.

"I'm Peach de wan!" it introduced itself to me.

"I'm A-" I abruptly snapped my mouth shut, cursing in my mind. "I don't think I can tell you my name," I said stiffly.

It blinked. "oh," it bowed its head and I suddenly felt bad.

This goody two shoes attitude is really affecting my bad side.

Soo not a good sign.

"what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked slowly, gazing around for any sign of the powder puff or the man and kid from yesterday who were their probably allies.

"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to join us in protecting the city, de wan." The dog barked out.

I winced. "that's not really possible Peach…"

He cocked his head at me. "why not, de wan?"

I shrugged. "being good… isn't really our style," I shot him a regretful look.

"you'd rather do bad?" he asked, shocked.

I quickly shook my head in response. "no-No! not like that," I sighed.

Why am I explaining this to a dog again?

A mechanical one too?

This is getting weird. Am I losing my mind or something?

I fixed my cap exasperatedly. "we just want to lead a normal life, that's all." I tried to smile. "and-"

"being with the powerpuff girls would be bad?" the dog glanced at me.

I paused a second. "yep, it would." I smiled at it.

"don't you want to meet them first?" Peach asked desperately.

I shook my head, chuckling. "no thanks Peach, but it was nice talking to you," I patted its head once. "I gotta go," I turned my back at him just as an explosion sends me reeling and tumbling to the ground.

"be careful de wan!"

I opened my eyes, groaning.

The… Gangreen gang?

I groaned again. Why oh why?-

"I'm gonna call the powerpuffs de wan!" Peach scrambled beside me.

"No-! Don't!" I hissed, crouching down to cover its mechanical mouth. If this dog called now, I wouldn't have enough time getting away. Peach could run after me and lead the girls to me. I couldn't take that chance. "I don't want to meet them , remember?!"

"but!-" Peach motioned towards the Gangreens causing chaos. My blood began to boil.

Why do they have to make my day so much worse than it already is?

"I'll do it," I snapped and the dog blinked.

"you…" the dog squeaked, "will, de wan?"

I didn't answer. "don't call, okay?" I shot him a pleading look and the dog-thankfully- nodded its head reluctantly.

I had to finish this up fast.

I smiled at it, trusting its words. "thanks,"

People started screaming and I grabbed the furball up.

"let's get this over with," I started running away from the crowds. "hold on tight," I placed him on top of my head, pulling down the sleeve of my jacket. I spun my watch.

"Power Up," I muttered and the red light from the watch swirled around me. "Set Up!" the changes began abruptly, filling me with power. "Perform Change! Begin!" I finished up.

"Red Overload!"

I pushed myself off the ground, flying.

"you okay?" I asked the dog on my head.

"I'm fine de wan!" Peach squeaked. "beat them already de wan!"

I grinned, cracking my knuckles. It has been a while since I fought with someone other than my brothers… so I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts.

"with pleasure," I shot out towards their direction.

Hovering slightly above them, I assess the situation slowly. "what do you think you're doing?" I glared at them reproachfully.

One of them looked over to me and blinked. There was an air of arrogance around him that made me think he was the leader.

"we can do whatever we want!" he smirked at me. "who are you anyway? Think you can beat us all alone?" he snorted. "not some puny human can-"

I've sorta had it with this guy.

With not much of an effort, I sent him flying over to the other side of the road.

I smirked, landing directly in front of them. "now… who's next?"

Momoko

"WHAT… HAPPENED?" Buttercup landed beside me, examining the beat up Gangreen Gang too.

They… look worse than when we beat them up. Much worse.

"no idea," I trailed off before spotting a wagging dog not far from where we were.

"powerpuffs!" the dog wagged its tail at us.

"what happened here?" Buttercup demanded. "and why didn't you call on us? We only got here when Professor contacted us personally,"

"I'm sorry de wan," Peach barked out.

"never mind that," Bubbles cut in. "what did happen here Peach?"

The professor and Ken came into view too, walking hurriedly to where we were.

"Peach! Why didn't you call-" Professor stopped short when he spotted the Gangreen Gang beaten to pulp. "what in the world?-" he shot Peach a questioning gaze.

"I made a new friend, de wan!" was only Peach's answer to all our questions.
