Chapter 4: Creating Friendship
After a quick drive, Riley and her two kids show The PowerPuff Girls and their father their new house. The house is the color orange, with a red roof, white tailings and water rains, around the roof of the house, and it's two stories high. There are two windows on the top from and a large window at the bottom, and a garage on the right side. Riley and Jonathan are in the living room having a talk and he is kind of interested to see the inside of the house.
"So this is your new house?" Jonathan asks looking interested in the house.
"Yeah, I like it here. There's a three bedroom, two restroom, an office where I can do some work without being disturbed, and a very nice kitchen along with a dining room. The room are big enough for the kids to play, but we still need to get our stuff unpacked first," Riley says.
With a reassuring smiles, Jonathan says, "Don't worry, I'm sure the girls and I will give you a hand."
"That's nice of them," Riley replies with a smile.
Riley look around and notice that the kids are not around.
She then asks, "Where are they?"
"I'm willing to bet they're with Madeline, so wherever she is, they're with her," Jonathan suspects.
Riley smiley smiles and says, "Right."
Agreeing the accusation, Riley and Jonathan are still keeping an eye out for the moving truck to come, which won't come for a while, so they decide to go walk around the backyard. In a pink room, Madeline is in there along with Blossom and her sisters. The girls think Madeline room looks very nice, and it's big enough for her. Madeline looks around the room to see what kind of stuff are around, but it's mostly empty.
Bubbles happily says, "I really like your new room, Madeline."
"Thank you," Madeline replies.
Then Blossom asks, "So Madeline, do you need help getting your things in here?"
"Well, since you girls know about… my problem, I guess I could use some help carrying the heavy boxes, while the movers take my bed and furniture in here," Madeline answers feeling a bit show, and feeling a bit sad.
It don't take the girls too long to know what Madeline is worried about.
"Still don't want to go to the hospital," Buttercup suspects.
Madeline nods her head and sadly answers, "Yes, I don't want to go there at all."
"But why?" Bubbles asks.
"Yeah, from what your mom said you need to go there," Blossom replies.
Madeline sighs sadly and explains, "And I have been there multiple time, and it's not easy at all. I had to go there for check up, scans, and other reasons. It felt like I have to go there every day. It's been hard for me to make friends, especially since they know how sick I am."
After hearing Madeline explanation, the girls can understand Madeline's problem. Having to go to the hospital a lot must be really hard for her, and being sick is even harder.
"I can see why you don't want to go, you had to go there a lot because you're sick," Blossom replies.
"Yep," Madeline sadly answers.
Bubbles comes over and happily says, "But we can still play together."
"And hang out," Buttercup replies.
"Even though you won't be going to school with us, we can lots of stuff together," Blossom adds.
Bubbles hold a notebook, and a box of crayons, and says, "Like drawing pictures."
"Sports," Buttercup suggests holding a soccer ball.
"Or reading," Blossom suggests holding a book..
"Um, I can't read, but my mom read to me all the time," Madeline clarifies.
Blossom puts the book down and say, "Aw well, I'm sure we can find some book your mom can read to you."
"Thank you," Madeline says with a smile.
With wanting to play and do stuff, Buttercup says, "Now how about we get your stuff into your room so we can play."
"But my room is um, pink, and I don't like pink very much. No offence Blossom," Madeline says, as she face Blossom not wanting to upset her.
Blossom doesn't mind it as she says, "None taken and it's no trouble at all, everyone has colors they do like and don't like."
"So what's your favorite color then?" Bubbles asks.
Madeline smiles and answers, "My favorite color is blue and yellow. I like my room to be these colors."
"That's no problem, we have super powers. I bet we can get your room fixed up in no time," Buttercup says.
Madeline puts a happy smile on her face, and says, "Thank you."
The girls start laughing and are becoming great friends, even though Madeline is a year older than The PowerPuff Girls.. Since they live down the street, they are able to visit her whenever they like. Just then Frank comes in to see how Madeline and the others are doing.
"Hey Madeline, how are you and the girls doing," Franks asks.
"We're doing fine Frank," Madeline answers.
Buttercup flies over and asks, "So Frank, how are you liking your room?"
"My room is fine, it's good enough to fit my things, and Madeline's room seems good too," Frank answers, as he looks around his sister's room.
"Thanks Frank," Madeline replies.
As the five are checking out the room, they hear a loud beeping noise and it's coming from outside. They look through Madeline's bedroom window to see the moving truck is here. The truck is moving forwards, and then back into the sidewalk in front of the house. The four girls teenage boy know what it means.
"The moving truck is here!" The four girls cheer happily.
And they all start running out of the room and down the stairs. Riley and Jonathan or the professor are still talking in the living room when they hear their daughters running down stars with smiles on their faces.
The professor calls out,"Girls, no running in the house!"
The girls stops on the airs and says, "Sorry professor,"
"That's okay, but try not to run downstair or you can trip and hurt yourself," Riley replies.
"Okay," the girls say with a smile.
Frank walks down stairs along with the kids as say, "Hey mom, the moving truck is here,"
"I know, heard the truck coming in," Riley replies.
Riley gets up from the chair and says, "Come on, our stuff isn't going to unpack themselves."
With that, The Powerpuff Girls and the professor help Riley and her kids with their packing. The PowerPuff Girls along with the movers help the family gather all of their things into the house, and able to arrange a few things for parts of the house. The professor brings cans of paint so they can paint the bedrooms. After the paint of Madeline and Frank's room are done, the girls help them bring their things into the room. For the rest of the afternoon, the girls and their dad help their new friends refresh, unpack their things and arranging them, and do everything to help get the house fixed up and everything in their place.
After a long afternoon, the house is all set for Riley and her family thanks to the Powerpuff Girls and Professor Utonium. Madeline, the girls, and Frank are playing a board game in the living room, while Riley and Jonathan/The Professor have a chat and having some drinks.
Buttercup rolls the dice and is taking a very long with her turn.
Blossom rolls her eyes and says, "Come on Buttercup, we'll be heading back to school when it's your turn."
"Very funny," Buttercup grumbles.
Buttercup then throws the dice to the board and rolls a five. She then moves her piece five spaces.
Madeline grabs the dice as she happily says, "I'm glad that we get to hang out today."
"I like having fun with you too," Bubbles says happily.
Then Buttercup says, "Wish we can have some more fun with you."
"Me too," the others reply agreeing to the idea.
The girls are having loads of fun together and want to hang out with each other all the time. Just then, the girls have come up with an idea.
The girls turns to the professor, and asks, "Professor can we stay at Madeline's house for a sleepover?"
The professor starts to think about it as he says, "Well, I don't know."
"Please!" the girls beg with sparkles in their eyes.
The professor can see that they really want to spend the night with Madeline, and really like them playing with their friends.
He turns to Riley and asks, "What do you think?"
"I don't mind at all, it will be good for Madeline to be with other kids, and it will give her great practice so she can be with kids around her age," Riley says, agreeing with a smile on her face.
The girls smiles, hearing the news, and cheer, "Yay!"
Just as they cheer to be able to sleep over, the girls stop to hear stomach growling. The girls can tell it's not coming from their stomachs. They turn over to hear the growling noise is coming from Frank's stomach.
Frank blushes a bit, laughs a bit, and says, "I guess after the day we've been through I'm feeling a hungry."
Madeline giggles a bit, and says, "Frank, you're always hungry."
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup giggle to the statement, making Frank more embarrassed. Then their stomach start to growl too, and so does Madeline's. The parents can tell that their children are feeling really hungry, so it will be a good time to go to the store and buy some groceries to make dinner.
Riley get's up as she says, "I'm going to head out to the store and buy stuff to make dinner. How does that sound?"
"I think it's a good idea, I remember you were great at cooking," Jonathan says.
"And I still am," Riley remarks with a smile.
"As long as we don't have broccoli for dinner," Buttercup grumbles.
Blossom and Bubbles stares at Buttercup with a firm look, meaning that it's something she should not say at all. Riley is a bit confused about Buttercup's remark.
The professor whispers to Riley, "Buttercup doesn't like broccoli very much."
Riley giggles a bit and says, "Well don't worry, I'm planning on making some fried rice, shrimps, and beef and broccoli, guaranteed that you all will love."
"You promise?" Buttercup asks, looking curious.
"Yes, I promise," Riley answers with a nod on her head.
As Riley grabs the keys on the desk, she turns to Frank and Madeline as she says, "Come on kids, we need to head to the store to get a few things."
"Okay," The two replies.
With that Riley and her kids head out of the house along with the girls and Jonathan/The professor, so they can do their business. The girls agree that while Riley and the kids are at the store to gather a few things, while The Powerpuff girls get everything ready for the sleepover. The girls want to make this special for them, so they decide to do what they can to make it all possible.
