One Day ...
by "Lord" Andy
chapter four

One day while the Powerpuff Girls were at school, the hotline started ringing.

"Bubbles, can you get that?" Buttercup asked as she continued to cut out shapes in a piece of paper she had.

A large smile spread over Bubbles face. She usually never got to answer the hotline. Putting down the crayons she was using for her drawing, she skipped on over to the ringing phone.

"Wait a minute, you can't do that!" Blossom suddenly shouted out from behind the book she was reading. "I'm the one who always answers the phone! It's just tradition, that's all."

Jumping up, Blossom ran past Bubbles to get to the phone. Just as she was about to answer it, she had this urge, then looked at the disappointed face of Bubbles. Sighing, she gave the phone over to Bubbles. "Just listen to what the Mayor says, carefully."

Bubbles squealed with delight, then happily answered the phone. Buttercup gave Blossom and odd glance.

"Gee, you don't do something like that often." She said.

Blossom shrugged. "I dunno. I just suddenly felt like being nice and let her answer it for once. What harm could she do?"

Bubbles hung up the phone. "Come on girls, looks like Mojo is at it again with some new weapon."

"Well what do you know, looks like you finally got it right!" Buttercup teased, poking Bubbles in the ribs lightly.

"All right, all right, we can fool around later." Blossom said. "We have to stop Mojo right now."

The three flew out off the roof of the school and quickly found Mojo outside of Townsville Park a few blocks inside the city. He was holding a sinister looking weapon, with a tube of blue liquid in the front and a large exhaust on the back. Just another one of Mojo's annoying little invention.

"You've met your match now annoying Powerpuff Girls!" Mojo shouted. He pulled a lever sticking out of the side of his newest edition to his ever-growing arsenal. The tube of thick blue liquid at the end of the large firearm started pulsating and humming and an increasing rate.

"Oh please Mojo!" Blossom groaned while rolling her eyes. "Why do you even keep trying. Not one of your plans have ever worked ever!"

"So why don't you just put the weapon done and walk your sorry little butt to the prison." Buttercup grumbled, waving Mojo away with her hand. "That way we won't have to break anything."

"We said it before, we'll say it again," Blossom declared. "The Powerpuff Girls never loose!"

"Duh!" Bubbles chimed in with the usual mocking of Mojo.

"Silence! Quiet! Speak no more!" Demanded a fist waving Mojo. "I've spent many weeks building the strongest and fastest laser that I have ever built. It will finally defeat you, it will finally stop you, and it will finally make you all a threat to me no longer. This is to say "

While Mojo continued his constant ramblings about the stuff he always says every time they fight, the girls sighed and looked at each other.

"Do you just want me to fly down there and kick his butt?" Buttercup asked, pointing to the babbling simian twenty stories below them.

"Oh just let her go get him." Bubbles said to Blossom. "I want to get back to my coloring drawing."

"Doodling again I see?" Laughed Buttercup. That reminded her of Blossom's plans, which sometimes seemed to be nothing but that. At first she wanted to point that opinion out, but remember that there was an evil monkey below. Opinions need to wait. "Well, you can get back to that after we get that monkey as fast as we can."

"That's right, who knows what he has this time!" Agreed Blossom.

"Even if last time he just had a big stick?" Bubbles asked.

"Well not every plan is perfect." Buttercup said, looking at Blossom. Blossom was about to say something, but instead thought about what she had said.

" and furthermore, this weapon is powerful. It is much more powerful then you! I have calculated it to be much more powerful then anything! It is fast, it is strong, it is ingenious, it is oh what the heck, I'll just show you."

Himself getting tired of his own ramblings to a deaf crowd, Mojo picked up his loudly humming weapon and took careful aim through the ray's sophisticated scope. Picking out a target between the three Powerpuffs who were trying to figure out what to do, he checked the aim once more, then pulled the trigger.

The instant the blast went out, all the windows in the surrounding blocks blew out due to the deafening shock wave. The recoil of the device was a bit more powerful then Mojo had anticipated. The impact knocked him half a mile down the road till he came to a skidding stop. The simian's ears were ringing and his arms were shaking due to the immense blast that came from the ray. In fact, the echo of the shot was still chiming between the streets of Townsville.

But all of this happened after the initial projectile of the laser.

"Woah, that was close!" Buttercup shouted.

"That thing almost hit us!" Bubbles gasped. "I can't believe how fast it was!

"Then it's a good thing someone kept our minds on what was important!" Blossom yelled. "Now let's teach this primate a lesson!"

Mojo got up, shook his head, and went to reload his weapon. When he looked up all he could see were three little fists coming towards his face. In a few second, the weapon was destroyed and Mojo was knocked clear into the Townsville jail.

"Curses " Mojo grumbled, devastated that his weapon was a failure. "Looks like today is not my day."

Three beings watched the three Powerpuff girls zip their way back to class. All three were dressed in your average cloths one would find someone to be wearing in Townsville. They all let out a long sigh of relief to see when the time finally came, Mojo's plan was thwarted and they got back to class safe and sound. Once they were assured that all the danger was over, they turned from their work and started walking away from the school and simply down the street. After a bit of silence, they started to talk, each with a calm and soothing voice.

"I must say, that one was pretty close." The one on the left said to the one in the middle.

"What, are you saying there was a doubt in your mind?" The one on the right said with a chuckle.

"Oh come on, admit it!" The first one said. "These three are more of a handful then anyone else any of us have looked after before."

"Ah, but you say that for a simple reason." The one in the middle slowly said. "The possible end results are much more drastic and life changing for these three, seeing as how they live a more drastic and challenging lives."

"This one did take a few more trial and error foresights then usual." The right one said. "The time they needed our comfort and guidance the most was so much easier at other times. This one, we just had to find the right points in time that needed the most shall we say, influence?"

"Some endings to some books are easier to guess then others." The one in the middle said. "In the end it makes me appreciate the boss more then anything, seeing as how he knows the best course of action the first time."

The three continued walking for a bit without a single person ever taking notice of them. After a while, the left one spoke up again.

"Do you ever think that we're going in over our heads?" Came the question. "After all, you-know-who has his eye especially on these three, and only three of us were sent to guard them."

"Yes, the odds don't seem to be in our favor at times." The middle one said. "But you just have to remember one thing."

"What's that?" The one of the right asked.

"Who our employer is."

The three of them chuckled and continued walking on and on until they would be needed again. For not every battle that is won can be seen. But more importantly, and unfortunately, not everybody understands this great and miraculous meaning behind it.

THE END
