Powerpuff Girls Z

Chapter 2: Perfect Girls?
Utonium Basement Lab

The dust cloud settled down a little, but the lab area was still a little misty, making it hard to see. The area looked like a junkyard considering how powerful the explosion was that messed up the room. Scorched soot marks covered the three cylinder receptacle chambers that the perfect girls were being created out of. The tops were blown off and the blast solar panel shields had been scrapped. The only thing that survived was the glass chambers themselves, and they were filled to the top with mist.

Not far away from the blast area, Professor Utonium and his son were on the ground, slowly waking up. They had almost reached a safe but not fast enough as they were caught by the blast wave. It had hit them with tremendous force as it slammed them into one of the consoles. They were completely knocked out as the explosion settled, and that they were finally getting up.

Davis was the first to get up, with his face all sooty and his hair sticking up. He looked around with a look of surprise on his face as he finally spoke out, "Wow! What a bang!"

The Professor groggily got up as he stretched his back out, making a lot of pops, "Argh! I'm got getting any younger." It was then that he looked around and saw the destruction the blast had left. It was then that a Help-O bot rolled in, still functioning, and popped out of his chest, three white shower towels that he gave to them. One for the Professor, and two to Davis, and used them to wipe themselves down.

As soon as Davis had finished wiping his face off, he commanded the Help-O bot, "Help-O bot. Could you display mirror, please?" The robot accepted the command, and a small door in the robot's chest slid open, and out shot a contraption that expanded into a mirror. He looked into the mirror and saw that he had cleaned off the soot, but saw that his hair was sticking up like a broomstick as he looked surprised as he stated, "Oh man, I look like Beakman." He shook his head and brushed his hair until it was back to its messy self.

Meanwhile the Professor just stood there, with his head down in defeat. He sighed as he stated, "The experiment…was a failure." He looked around the room, still a little messed up, and everything smashed. Everything was going so well, but then something happened that caused the destruction of the experiment. The Professor finished wiping himself off as he said with much disappointment, "Everything went so well, but then….", he then stopped, realizing he couldn't remember what it was that went wrong.

He looked to his son, and asked, "Say, do you remember how we accidentally added the Chemical X?" Davis crossed his arms, thinking about what had happened. But it all seemed foggy in his mind as he tried to remember. Finally, he shrugged as he looked clueless to his equally clueless dad, "Sorry, Dad. I can't seem to remember. It's all kind of blurry to me."

In truth, they had hit their heads pretty hard on the head when they ducked from the explosion. It caused the true source of the accident to be blotted out of their minds. For the true culprit, Jojo, the chimpanzee that the Professor's wife had sent them, was nowhere to be seen. All that was left was his burnt imprint on the floor, with no physical evidence of him even left.

THUMP!

Davis rubbed his sore head as he just groaned, "Ohhh, I wish I could remember what went wrong. But that banging on the glass isn't helping much."

THUMP!

The Professor's disappointed face then suddenly went surprised as he asked his son and himself, "A banging sound?" The two looked towards the glass receptacles. They ran to them as they heard the banging sound as the Professor reached the controls. Davis walked up to the middle receptacle to confirm what they heard wasn't a ringing in their heads. He carefully walked up to it, a little nervous about what would happen, or what did happen. He placed his right hand on the glass, attempting to peek in to see if anything was alive.

THUMP!

Suddenly, a hand slapped into the glass, connecting to Davis', as if they were touching them without the glass between them. Davis, a little startled by that, turned to his Dad and nearly shouted, "Dad! It worked!"

The Professor also beamed as he began to type in commands to the computer. Davis stepped back as the machine whirred and hissed back to life. The glass receptacles began to slide into the floor, releasing the mist from their containers as it engulfed the floor once more. The Professor just walked over to see the results of his and his son's finest experimental work.

Davis swatted away the mist, to see where he needed to walk to, or where the 'perfect girls' were. Suddenly, a shadowy figure fell right towards him as he caught whatever it was or…whoever? "What the…?", Davis asked out loud as he helped whoever it was to gently sit or kneel down. As the mist cleared in, he came face to face as to what…or who…had fallen at him.

It was at that moment, all he could do was stare at whoever it was. There on the platform, on their bare knees, was a beautiful red-haired thirteen year old girl. She had a petite figure; slim and physically fit, perfect skin as it was smooth and blemish-free, and had long red silky hair that went all the way down her back with two curls of hair draped over her ears. She also had a pretty face, but when she opened them, they were revealed to be colored a beautiful pink.

All Davis and the redhead did was stare at each other; time stopping as the two pre-teens saw each other for the first time in their lives. But then suddenly, a moan broke out. Their attentions turned as another girl, knelt down, and with the exact build as the redhead, was stirring. She too had a petite figure, physically fit with pefect skin, but she wasn't the same as the redhead, as she seemed a bit shy. She had short blonde semi-curly blonde hair that ended at her shoulder blades, and two double curls of hair over her ears. When she opened her eyes on her cute face, she revealed them to be colored a pretty light blue.

But before the redhead could speak to the blonde, another groan came out as the two girls and Davis turned to the third girl. She was kneeling down, Terminator style as she lifted her head, clearing her throat of the mist. She had the exact slim petite figure, great skin, but her hairstyle was much different. She had short spiky hair with a flip in the back; sort of a tomboyish hairstyle. And when she opened her eyes, they were that of a light green.

The Professor walked up and was in awe at what he had created. Davis had stood up as he walked over to his dad to see the fruit of their hard research and work. Three thirteen-year-old girls; all had perfectly fit bodies, great skin, silky hair, cute faces, innocent beautiful eyes, and…

Suddenly, the Professor, as well as Davis, went wide eyed as they miscalculated one small problem. And the Professor made it clear as he shouted and pointed at the girls, "GOOD GRAVY! THEY'RE NAKED!" Davis could only blush in embarrassment at this predicament as he covered his eyes, and babbled, "I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry!"

The three girls looked confused as they looked down at themselves…and saw that they were only in their birthday suits. The girls screamed out loud in high-pitch voices in embarrassment, as the only two men in the room ran around trying to find them something. It then snapped in Davis' head as he saw the three leftover towels and grabbed them. He ran over to them with the towels in hand, and the girls quickly grabbed them.

The redhead wrapped hers around her body as it covered her chest and ended at her ankles. The blonde folded hers as when she wrapped it around her, it ended at her knees. But the raven haired girl tore hers in half and tied for herself a mini-skirt, and a tube top. The three girls stood up and looked at the Utonium duo. But Davis just couldn't stop blushing at the redhead; he didn't know why, but he just couldn't tear his eyes off of her.

What went on his head was the following, 'Dad was right…they are perfect girls…especially the red…', he realized what he was thinking and he shook his head as he broke the look and turned away. He made a grimaced face at himself as he growled in his face, 'NO! Stay focused in the scientific level in this, Davis. There's nothing romantic about falling in love with an artificial being.'

Davis then took a deep breath, and joined in his father as they were about to talk to the girls. But they were beaten to the punch as the redhead talked first by smiling and waving at them, "Hi! What are your names?"

The two Utoniums, completely startled by that, stepped back as they both nearly shouted, "UAAAAHH!" But they regained their calm as they learned something about their creations: they were capable of independent thinking and could speak. Professor Utonium looked at them and was completely amazed by this; they may have been only born twenty minutes ago, but the redhead showed signs that not only were they physically thirteen, but their mentality showed that it followed with them. Becoming more excited than scared at these past events, the Professor merely smiled at the girls and answered, "Well, uh…my name is, um…Professor! Professor Utonium."

He then smiled some more as he pointed to his son, "And this is my son."

Davis politely bowed, not showing or even sharing his father's excitement, "Hello, I'm Davis…Davis Utonium."

And then surprisingly by the two, the three girls bowed their heads in response, and said in unison, "Hello Professor Utonium and Davis. It's nice to meet you."

The two looked at each other and were a little amazed by that these girls were polite. They had been born not so long and yet they knew this much. But before they were labeled rude, the Professor bowed as well as he returned the compliment, "It's very nice to meet you all too,….uh?"

Davis looked to his dad and asked, "What is it?"

The Professor turned to the girls and asked, "Um, what are your names, anyway?"

David thought about it and realized it too. They didn't plan on naming them, seeing that the experiment was a success and he backed his dad up with it, "That is a good question? What do we call you girls?"

The redhead shrugged but kept her smile as she stated, "Well you made us, and so shouldn't you be the ones to name us?"

The Professor was a little surprised at this as he turned to his son for any advice. But all Davis did was just nod his head as he replied, "She's right, Dad. You made them, you name them." But before his father stated that he had a hand in their creation, Davis answered, "Hey, I only helped, Dad. You did most of the work."

Shaking his head to clear it, the Professor nodded, "Um, yes, you're right about that." But then got choked up as a goofy grin came on his face, "Oh, this is so cool. It's like being a father all over again." Davis just watched his dad think; just seeing him this excited made him happy to see his dad act like a college student.

The Professor cleared his throat as he walked over to the three girls and pointed to the redhead, "Well now let's see…because of your directness and ability to open up…I'm going to call you…Blossom."

The redhead, now named Blossom, smiled at this, and even smiled towards Davis…which in turn caused him to blush a little. The blonde spotted this as she couldn't help but bring her hands to her mouth and give out what could be best described as the cutest giggle ever heard.

The Professor spotted that and smirked at the blonde, "Well aren't you all cute and bubbly?" It was then that it hit him once he said that. The Professor smiled and pointed to the blonde as he gave her two thumbs up, "That's it! You'll be my little…Bubbles." The blonde, now named Bubbles, couldn't help but jump up and down, seeing she was excited about the new name.

He looked at the two girls; Blossom and Bubbles…but then turned to the raven haired girl. Seeing the naming, she became quite happy and excited. She wasn't able to contain herself as she was so excited on what name she would be getting. The Professor scratched his chin as he gave it some good thought and then smiled, "I'll call you…Buttercup." The raven haired girl, now named Buttercup, smiled brighter than the other two.

It was then that Davis asked, "So why Buttercup? Is it because like the Language of flowers, Buttercup means 'riches'?"

Professor Utonium merely shook his head as he bluntly answered, "No, because it also begins with a B."

After hearing the realization of that, Buttercup frowned as she crossed her arms, "Hmp!"

Davis just had to smirk at this scene; though it was also kind of strange in someway. Here they were, standing in front of three girls, his age in only a matter of minutes, and they were being treated like regular people. It was then that he caught the redhead staring and smiling at him. That caused him to blush a little again, and he heard a B-Bump sound coming from his chest. He grimaced as he thought, 'Why did I B-Bumped just now? Not that I want anything to go B-Bump!'

He was brought out of his train of thought as the Professor spoke up. He smirked as he looked at the girls, "This is just too cool to even describe in quantum equations." He just couldn't believe that his crazy theory on creating life from ordinary objects in his DNA chain and Tissue materializer actually worked. He just smiled as he looked to his son and back at the girls, "I still can't believe it. Together you make three perfect, normal gi…."

It was then that his face went blank and in a state of shock and realization. The girls looked at him with concern, not knowing if anything was wrong or alright with him. Davis looked a little concern for his dad as he stayed frozen in place. He walked over to him and padded him on his shoulder as he asked, "Dad? Are you okay? You look like someone poured Liquid Nitrogen down your…"

"GIFTS!", the Professor shouted as he turned around and ran for the stairway, shouting, "Birthday! It's your birthdays! I need to go get gifts! Clothes! Accessories!"

Davis shouted as he asked, "Well, what am I supposed to do?"

All the Professor could do was shout back as it echoed down the massive complex, as he was running towards the exit to the stairway, "Get to know one another! Be friends!", and with that he pushed the button that commanded the door shut and was gone.

He ran up the stairs still unable to contain his happiness. His experiment was a success; in front of his son and himself were three perfect girls. He still couldn't believe his eyes as he reached for the door and ran out into his living room. His son was a gifted scientific mind, but like his son, he had girls now that he could teach right from wrong to make the City of Townsville a better place. He raced to the garage and jumped into his car, started the ignition, opened the garage door, and drove to the nearest mall, telling himself to remind himself, "All I've got to do is be a good parent." He then smiled to himself once more, "I just know Davis and the girls are going to get along just fine."

Back in the Lab

The girls just stood there, along with Davis as all they did was just stare at each other awkwardly. No one even knew of what to say; no one of them even knew of what to say. To Davis, this was the first time he had actually been near a girl, considering most girls thought of him as just a super-nerd and a boring one at that. To the girls, this was the first time they had ever met a boy their age; they didn't even know how to act to him at first.

Not much went said, until Blossom decided to break the silence by smiling at Davis and asked him, "So, you're the Professor's son?"

Davis merely nodded, as he answered, "Yeah, pretty much."

It was then that Bubbles stepped forward with her hands behind her back, and spoke in a cute voice, "So the Professor made you too?"

Davis scratched the back of his head as he tried to give a straight answer to that, "Well, uh…um, yeah. I guess."

Then Buttercup uncrossed her arms as she placed her fists on her hips and asked in a hard edged female voice, "So he made you the same way then? Like he did us?"

That caused Davis to end up looking shocked and embarrassed. He simply waved his hands in defense, "What? No! No, I wasn't made like you guys!"

Then Bubbles, being the most curious about it, fidgeting her foot, looked to him innocently and asked, "Well, how were you made?"

Now that got Davis nervous as he looked at the three girls, completely oblivious to the process of childbirth, 'Man, these girls are too innocent and naïve.' He cleared his throat as he stated, "Well, I think my dad can answer that better than I can."

Then Blossom smiled again as she spoke directly to him, "Okay, but why don't you give us your answer on it first."

Davis gulped, knowing full well they weren't going to let him go without giving them an answer. It was times like this he really hated being a scientist, so he took a deep breath and tried to delay his answer, "Well…you see…um…well, when a mom and dad, uh…love each other very much…well, um…"

The girls were anxious for an answer that they nearly walked over to him. However, before Blossom could hear an answer to their question, her ears suddenly picked up something with her ears. It sounded like something straining from overhead. She turned to the others, completely oblivious to the sound; it was obvious that the noise was too far or too small for anyone to hear it, and Blossom just didn't care on how she did it.

She heard that the noise came from all the way up, and she tilted her head upward. She wanted to see what it was that was making the noise, when all of a sudden, it was like her eyes magnified her field of vision and suddenly, she saw what it was. There was a huge AC machine, about as big as an SUV and shaped like a huge cube, hanging up high in the air to the ceiling above. And then on a closer inspection, she saw that it was coming loose of its bolts. Then suddenly, the SUV AC broke loose from its position and started to fall down…

…straight towards Davis.

Blossom saw it was heading in straight fast; a look of shock was on her face. Davis saw it and asked in concern, "Blossom? What is it?" He saw that she was looking up and he did the same, in order to see what she was looking at. He then saw the huge machine component falling towards him; frozen, unable to respond quickly, he just stood there, with a look of fear and surprise on his face.

Bubbles and Buttercup saw it too and shared the same look of fear and panic. But Blossom, showing more concern for Davis than for herself, shouted in fear for him, "Davis!" And ran towards him, just as the giant metal cube came crashing downward. It's massive shadow covering the four pre-teens…until….

…………….

Nothing happened as everything was still shadowed. Davis was down on his knees as his face was scrunched up into a face expecting extreme pain; his arms over his head in an attempt to shield himself. But it was then that he heard straining; the kind of straining that you would hear metal do, as if it was being held up. He opened his eyes to see Buttercup and Bubbles, completely unharmed and unfazed as they were looking upward. It wasn't long until he looked in the same direction as the two girls were.

It was then that Davis had the same look of surprised shock as he did before. Because what he saw now, made him completely go white as a sheet and made him remember that these girls were artificial. Blossom…was floating five feet off the floor…and holding up the massive metal cube…without even straining.

She looked like a Greek goddess while wearing that towel and floating in the air. She then looked down to Davis, with a hint of concern in her voice for him, "Davis, are you okay?"

Davis took a little time to swallow and regain his thought patterns. It was only after a few seconds that he gave her a response, "Yeah…but I think I nearly soiled myself." He then saw her gently land on her feet while still holding on to the AC machine. Then she hurled it over the side, almost as if it had the weight of a baseball. Davis gulped as the three girls looked at him innocently, 'Perfect Girls, my eye! These girls aren't even classified as Normal!'

Thirty Minutes Later

Professor Utonium was coming into the driveway, with his Voltswagon filled to the brim with boxes and bags. He had pulled into the driveway, still with a smile on his face, but monotonely scolded himself in a quick tone, "Note to Self: Good parents never leave their kids alone at home." In his excitement, he had forgotten that he had left his son, as well as the newest additions to the family, without a babysitter. He could only hope that they were alright, and hoped even more that they were getting along.

As he unpacked the mountain of packages into the house, he just smiled uncontrollably. Not only was his experiment successful, he had in the household three perfect girls, but also…and just perhaps…three friends for his son. In truth, he had known that his son was considered an outcast by his peers. It wasn't because of the 'Pinky' incident, but perhaps he was just smarter than the other kids put together. In truth, most of the kids isolated him from the rest of their activities, claiming that he was just too good to be in any of them. The Professor grinned as he made his way down the stairs, "Well, I'm pretty sure things'll change for Davis. Now that we have the girls in our lives."

As he reached the lab and made his way back to where his son and the girls were, he was still beaming happy about everything. He still found it hard to believe that his theory worked; Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice did make the perfect girls. However, due to the debris still strewn over the floor, the Professor should have made sure to know where he was walking. But he was too excited as he went it over on and on, "Wow, I still can't believe it! My theory was right! I made three perfect girls! Three, perfect, normal, pre-teen gir…"

But before the Professor could finish his sentence, he accidentally slipped on a round pieced of equipment. Losing his balance, he was heading for the side and fell over. In a state of shock, he didn't realize a pink and light green blur headed for his direction as he stopped in mid air. He looked to his left as he saw Blossom…holding him in mid air, and Buttercup, holding the boxes and bags, in mid air as well.

Blossom just smiled to him, unfazed at his look of shock, and stated, "You really should watch where you're going, Professor." She and Buttercup landed back on the platform with the Professor still in shock, but then Blossom finished, "You might get hurt that way."

Buttercup placed the boxes and bags down as she asked, "Are all these for us?"

All the Professor did was just nod, and then the girls squealed and at amazing speed, zipped and zoomed around the presents, leaving colorful trails behind them. Blossom's was identified by the pink streak, Bubbles' was the light blue, and Buttercup's was that of the light green. The Professor just stared and slunked to his knees, unable to have any strength by watching this. The girls were flying and going through the boxes at blinding speed like crazy.

Davis just walked up to his father and knelt right next to him as he padded him on the back, "Breathe, Dad. It's alright."

The Professor just turned to his son as he asked, "But….How?"

Davis pointed to the equipment that was used to create the girls. The Professor saw nothing out of the ordinary, but then he remembered the empty tank that was filled with the unknown ingredient: Chemical X. Now the two thought about it back a while ago, but didn't know much about it at all. The Chemical X was an unknown variable in anything it made contact to, causing random mutations.

….but in this case for the girls, it seemed to have been imprinted in their DNA permanently, giving them superhuman powers.

The Professor didn't really didn't know what to say about this at all. But then he turned to look at his son and asked, "So…how long have they been using their powers?"

Davis merely shrugged, completely unfazed, "Oh, for about half an hour since you left.", but then he shrugged, "Well, after around the time that Blossom saved me from the falling AC machine."

Professor Utonium shot right up and looked to his son in worry, "A what? Son, are you okay? Any bones broken? Do you need CPR?" He was so worried that he began to shake his son's shoulders like crazy. This was something that the Professor always did when he got worried; shake the person senselessly.

Davis, who was on the verge of wanting to throw up, said in a shaky voice, "DAAADDDDD, IIIIII'MMM FFFFFIIIIINNNNEEEE! BBBBLLLLOOOSSSSOOOMMM'SSSSS TTTTHHEEE OOONNNEEE WWWHHHOOO SSAAVVEEDD MMEE!"

It was before that was processed; Blossom flew over to them and landed. The two Utoniums turned to the girl as they saw her, along with what she had gotten from the boxes and bags. She had a pile of clothing neatly folded, shoes on top as well as undergarments, but she also had a stack of books neatly placed, along with a globe and a microscope. She ran up to them both hugged them, "Thank you."

It was then that Buttercup flew over to them and landed. She too had a pile of clothing, but it was all cluttered together, and from the look of it, were something that a tomboy would want as she set it down. Along with a stuffed gator, some workout weights, a punching bag, a GameBox 270, and some boxing gloves. She wasn't as gushy as Blossom as she just lightly punched both of them in the shoulder, saying, "Thanks." However, when she turned to face Davis, she just snorted at him, showing she had a disliking for boys; thinking they were pretty gross. At least that's what Davis thought.

Bubbles floated over with a stack of clothes, curlers, but mostly stuffed animals and drawing tools. But she was holding on to a particular stuffed animal of unique design; it was a little purple octopus with a little top hat on his head. He was tied to her shoulder by his tentacles as she walked over to Professor Utonium and said, "This is the best present ever, Dad." And with that, she kissed him on the cheek, surprising the Professor a little. He smiled as he looked at the girls, and then his son, and said, "It sure is."

She then turned to Davis and walked over to him, and kissed him on his cheek as well. This caused the young scientist to blush a little, and caused Bubbles to giggle out of fun for him. However, Blossom saw that and just seemed a little irked at that; this confused her a lot as she tried to ponder on that. But before anything else, Bubbles just couldn't help but giggle at this scene as she saw it, as that caused Butter cup to start laughing as well, along with Professor Utonium. At that point, all Blossom and Davis could do was look at each other and smile.

However, this was not a joyous scene for everyone, as the small little family was being watched. For behind one of the consoles, stood a very familiar little Chimpanzee. It was Jojo, still alive and in one piece; somehow he had survived the impact at full blast. But like the three girls that came out, he too had underwent some changes. For instance, his fur remained black but his little fleshy parts were now a disgusting green. His ears now pointy as elfish, his eyes a pinkish red. But the most mutated part of him…was that his brain was sticking out of his skull, and had grown three times bigger than it once was.

He watched the five humans, seemingly ignoring the fact that he was still missing. Surprisingly, he growled a little that sounded like it came from a human. However, Jojo smirked as he just thought of something: if the humans didn't remember him, then they would not find him, and if they could not find him then his plan would go unfulfilled. He could begin his plan uninterrupted; with no humans to stop him he was free to begin his schemes.

He snickered as he was about to leave, but not before he took another look at the girls. His snicker grew into an evil smirk, exposing his sharp ape teeth as he looked at them, displaying their powers. And who knew, fate worked in mysterious ways. As he disappeared from sight, one thought escaped the creature's mind: Even little freaks like those girls would one day be of use to him.

Later that Night

The Professor had told the girls to go ahead and use the bath and shower, and get ready for bed. The Professor was sitting on the couch as Davis was sitting in one of the lounge chairs. It had been pretty quiet for the two of them as the girls had settled down and brought their stuff up into the house. Davis on the other hand was still bowling it over in his head; the girls may have been perfect, but they sure weren't considered normal. He thought his dad would have been the voice of reason on it, but he didn't seem to pay it in mind.

It was about as much as he could take as he asked, "So what are we gonna do?"

Professor Utonium, mistaking the question, thought about it, and smirked, "Well, I was thinking that they could sleep in my bed tonight. I could sleep on the couch, but I've got work to do back in the lab…"

"NO, Dad!", Davis shouted as he slammed his fists into the couch, "I'm talking about the girls and their powers."

It was true that the Professor had forgotten all about that. He still wasn't really sure on what to do about it, but answered, "Well, the girls can control their powers so far, so I don't think there's anything to worry about."

Davis shook his head, "Dad! I believe this is just the beginning for their powers." He rubbed his temple as he began to explain. "You see, Dad. They've only been born about an hour and a half ago. As they're new and still growing, so are their powers.", he really hated to say this but he had to, "I just don' t think letting them go in public's a good idea."

"What's not a good idea?"

The two men turned around to see the girls had finished their baths and were dressed for bed. Buttercup was wearing a green T-shirt and bed shorts, with yellow lines and trim. Bubbles was wearing a blue night gown, had the little octopus, which she had affectionately named Octi, and she had three ball curlers on both the left and right side of her head. Blossom was dressed in an oversized pink and red trimmed T-shirt, and was still using a towel to dry her long red hair off.

Blossom let out a sigh as she smiled and stated, "Thank you very much, Professor. The bath was simply wonderful." Bubbles giggled, "Yeah, now we're all squeaky clean." Buttercup mocked it and mumbled; "Now we're all squeaky clean. Blech! I don't see why we need to take stupid baths!"

The Professor merely chuckled, "Well, I'm glad you girls feel refreshed."

Davis was just staring at Blossom once more as she was finishing drying her hair. Her hair was a little damp and it just seemed really weird that he was staring at her as she was drying it. It was then that Blossom caught him just staring, and asked in concern, "Davis? Is something wrong?"

Davis shook his head as he was back in thought, "Oh, um, nothing, Blossom. Nothing at all." He then cleared his throat as he then changed the subject, "Dad and I were merely discussing about something important." He turned to his father and gave him a look, telling him to tell them.

Professor Utonium just sat up and beamed as he stated, "That's right." Davis sighed as he finally began to see things in his perspective. But the Professor stated, "I'll show you girls to where you'll be sleeping for the night."

After that was said, Davis just face vaulted to the ground.

Afterwards

The Professor was back down in his lab, still working on whatnot, but his son was getting ready for bed. Davis had gotten dressed for bed and was now sporting on black sweatpants and a white shirt. But right now he seemed more fuming and worried to even consider being tired. He tried to talk his dad into at least keeping the girls inside long enough for them to develop their powers a little more. He sighed as he just made his bed for the night, "You know, for a world renowned scientist. Dad pretty much doesn't think everything through."

But then before he could get into bed, there was a slight knocking on his door. He turned and saw Blossom, standing there with a blanket that the Professor had given to her, as well as her sisters. She asked lightly, "I'm sorry, Davis, if I'm coming in unannounced, but do you mind if I bunk in your room for the night?"

Davis nearly went wide eyed as he asked with a high pitched nervous tone, "Bunk? In my room?" But then he shook his head as he cleared his throat, "I thought you were gonna sleep with your sisters?"

She nodded but explained, "Yeah, but the Professor's bed isn't big enough for three girls." She then stuck her tongue out, "So I thought I could bunk in your room for the night."

Davis just sighed as he got out of his bed, "Here, you can take mine then." He then went to the closet as he pulled out a black and flannel sleeping bag.

Blossom walked over to the bed and sat down, but stopped as she felt the bed. She bounced on it, up and down, almost amazed to be on a bed. But she stopped as he looked at to what he was doing and asked, "Um, Davis, don't you have another bed?"

He shook his head as he said, "Nah, I only have one bed.", but he waved his hands as he smiled at her, "But I can sleep on the floor; it's alright."

But Blossom shook her head as he leaned over, "I object! That's unacceptable!"

But Davis just lightly shook his head, "I don't mind; it's good for my back anyway."

It was then that Blossom thought about it, and slightly blushed at it as she fiddled with a blanket. She knew it was a little weird, but she decided it would work for both of them. She then lowered her head a little as she stated her idea, "If that's so, then I propose a compromise." Davis raised his eyebrow as he listened to her compromise, "Instead…we could…we could share it." She lowered her face into the blanket as she spoke with a muffled voice, "I…I don't mind at all."

Of course, Davis was a little shocked and blushing at this as he nearly stuttered, "Aah…I'm telling you I don't mind at all, so go and get some sleep!" And with that said, he slipped into his knapsack. Blossom merely shrugged as she got under the covers of the bed. But not before Davis asked something, "Um, Blossom?"

She got up and crawled to the end of the bed to come eye to eye with Davis as she asked, "What is it, Davis?"

He sighed as he asked, "Are you sure you and your sisters want to go to school in a few days?"

She thought about it for a little while; in truth, she and her sisters wanted to go to this school that the Professor had talked about after they got out of the basement. She nodded with a warm smile, "Of course we do. I want to go check out the library, the science labs, and I heard about this class called Cafeteria…"

Davis just had to smirk at that, but then sadly smiled as he stated the obvious, "Yeah, but your powers could prove a problem." Blossom looked at him confused as she asked, "Why, what's wrong with them?" Davis scratched his head as he stated, "Well, it's just that…you don't really know what else you do, or know how to control them properly."

Then Blossom looked a little saddened as he sat up, "Is it because we're not normal like you or the Professor? Is it because of that, we can't go with you to school?" Davis sat up as he shook his head, "No, it's not that. It's just people might get the wrong idea about you if someone sees you use them….", he scratched the back of his head as he stated, "…and besides…you don't know much about how things work out there. "

But then Blossom leaned in toward Davis as she stated, "So…so then, we could start knowing more right now. And…I can know more about you right now!" Davis slightly blushed as he asked, "Eh, what?" Blossom just looked at him innocently as she stated, "Please?"

Now he was really getting embarrassed as he just stuttered, "Come on, now! Just get to bed already!" And with that, he just got in his sleeping bag and immediately tried to get some sleep. Blossom looked confused at him for a moment and just shrugged, as she too got under the covers of the bed and tried to sleep.

Everyone was sound asleep, say for the Professor who was down in his lab. But the excitement was so much that he fell asleep at his keyboard. In the Professor's room, Bubbles was sleeping soundly with Octi in her arms, while Buttercup was sprawled on the bed, softly snoring.

Blossom was fast asleep, as was Davis; for now everyone slept soundly, but in a few days…no one would be getting any sleep.
