Kenny kept running. This was not a good week for him. First the Professor's monkey goes missing, the Professor is arrested because of the girls and their powers, and now he was homeless and he couldn't go to his parents were no longer around. It was getting very dark and he just didn't know where to go. He came to Pokey Oaks Kindergarten since the girls couldn't use their powers or get picked up to go home like the other kids in school, but no one was there. The girls must have tried to go home on their own.
The boy sighed, then he picked himself up and was thinking of probably going back to the Utonium house. The Utonium house was always like a second home to him growing up. Why not stay there until the owners come back home?
"Grandpa Kenny..." a voice trailed, which made us go back to present day to see Kenny with his granddaughters.
"Yes, sweetie?" the elderly man blinked, then looked down to the three little girls as they were being told this story. He wasn't quite sure which girl it came from.
"Is it true that around this time the girls first met their arch enemy Mojo Jojo?" the youngest girl asked. Kenny wasn't surprised she was the one who asked since she was the youngest one and always asking a million questions and nearly had none of the answers.
"Oh, yes," Kenny smiled and nodded, though he wasn't happy that the girls faced the Professor's former non-human assistant who became a villain because of the girls being born. "But back then, he was just called Jojo."
"But how did Jojo talk?" the youngest girl asked, still curious.
"Because of the Chemical X," the eldest girl said, turning to her. "The chemicals mutated the girls because it was an accidental added ingredient to the concoction. Because of that, the girls became the Powerpuff Girls, the sugar, spice, and everything nice affected them to be perfect little girls, but also with the mutations. So, since that happened to them, it happened to Jojo too."
"Right, the chemicals made his brain expand out of his head which is why he wore that helmet all the time." Kenny added into her explanation.
"You're such a know-it-all!" the middle girl scoffed at her older sister.
"At least I pay attention in school, instead of sleeping all the time!" the elder girl glared back at her sister.
The two started to fight, which made the youngest girl upset. Kenny didn't want them to fight, so he tried to break them apart and cheer up his youngest grandchild.
"Now, now, stop it you two," Kenny raised his voice the best he could due to his aging, but it worked as they stopped. "Yes, your sister is smart, but that's no reason to fight with her and it's no reason to fight if one of us sleeps in class..."
"Sorry, Grandpa Kenny..." the older and middle girl said together, though still glared at each other.
"It's alright, but I don't want to tell your parents I gave you a bedtime story which made you argue over something that happened over 50 years ago," Kenny said sharply.
"I would hate to imagine Townsville if the girls weren't here for 50 years in real life..." the youngest girl sounded nervous.
"What?" the middle girl looked at her.
"I heard the kids talkin' that one time, the girls escaped into a wormhole and they ended up disappearing for 50 years," the youngest girl said as she clutched her blue blob doll. "Their teacher was in a daze, the Mayor at the time was gone, Ms. Bellum grew insane, and the Professor thought they were hallucinations..."
"I believe that did happen, but I don't really know since I wasn't there," Kenny was astounded by her knowledge for her age, but she wasn't as smart as her oldest sister.
The girls blinked, then noticed they were now off track of this important story that was important to Townsville history.
"So, what happened after you couldn't find the girls, Grandpa Kenny?" the middle girl asked, getting back on subject.
"I met with and found my new adoptive mother." Kenny explained to them, getting back to the story.
Kenny kept running down the streets of past Townsville. He then found an apartment and was just lost. No one he knew would be there. Or would they? There was either a dark gold or lime green car pulling up and there came a familiar figure out. She rubbed her head, moaning a little.
"Excuse me, ma'am, are you alright?" Kenny came to the woman, then recognized her instantly. "Ms. Keane?"
"Oh, hello, Kenny..." Ms. Keane greeted, not as cheerful as she almost always was.
"Ms. Keane, what's wrong?"
"Ugh... School was such a headache today..." the kindergarten teacher continued to rub her raven-hair covered head. "Because of those Utonium girls we had to have school during the construction."
"Why have school while it's under construction?" Kenny gaped at her.
"I don't know, Kenny... It was just told we still had to have school. I can't believe those girls showed their faces after that 'game' they played yesterday... They could've killed some people!"
"Don't remind me..."
"Kenny, why aren't you home?"
Deciding not to tell her right away, Kenny decided to quickly change the subject and thought of a lie. "I uhh... Had a fight with my parents... I was wondering if I could stay with you to give them some privacy."
"You had a fight, so you run away to stay with a kindergarten teacher?" Ms. Keane was dubious of his reasoning for being out so late. She then saw it was starting to rain and decided to let him in anyway. "Oh, come on in, Kenny..."
"Thank you, Ms. Keane..." Kenny sounded relieved and followed her inside. When she was doubting him, it sounded like a mother had caught their child lying about something.
Ms. Keane wiped her feet and unlocked her room door. "I'm just glad the apartment building is still standing... Those girls nearly destroyed all of Townsville, I haven't seen a scare that bad, even with having Mitch Mitchelson give me an apple with a worm in it, or putting tacks on my chair, or somehow sneaking glue onto my supplies."
"Hey, they were just playing." Kenny defended the girls, not believing someone nice as Ms. Keane was even turning against them.
Ms. Keane looked at him. "Weren't you meeting Professor Utonium after school? What has he done to those little mutants he calls girls?"
"Ms. Keane, I would appreciate it if you would not talk bad about the girls."
"Oh, it's not like they have feelings!"
"You always told me that everyone matters and everyone has feelings that are delicate and can get hurt easily by words," Kenny told her firmly. "You wouldn't like it if they used those against you, would you?"
Ms. Keane felt hurt suddenly. "No, I guess I wouldn't... I'm sorry, Kenny, I just have this horrible headache from the hammering during naptime..."
"Well, don't take it out on the girls." Kenny told her, then sat on the couch as a cat hopped onto him, calmly purring and snuggling against him. "Thanks for letting me stay here."
"Of course, Kenny, stay as long as you like, I'm just surprised that your parents would fight with you and kick you out like that."
"Oh, don't worry about them, they're happier where they are now..."
"I suppose so... Come on, Valentino, let's let Kenny get some sleep." Ms. Keane signaled for her cat.
The cat, Valentino, mewed, then came to her legs.
"You don't mind cats, do you Kenny?" Ms. Keane asked as she was getting to her room for the night.
"Just evil ones..." Kenny murmured as he got comfortable to get some sleep.
"Alright... Good night, Kenny." Ms. Keane turned out the light and went into her room to get ready for bed herself.
"Good night, Ms. Keane... Night, girls..." Kenny turned over in the couch, snuggling onto the blanket after spreading it across his body and stared out the window. Wherever the girls were now, hopefully they were safe and dry, even if Townsville hated them.
Kenny then started to sleep. He was about to turn off the TV in the room as it was just newsreports about the damages the girls caused. It seemed like Townsville just hated the girls for being unique and special with their powers. He was about to turn it off, but then, there came a newsflash. Kenny looked in surprise as the Professor had indeed been under arrest. He had to warn the girls, but it was very late, even for him. He turned off the TV and decided to get some sleep. Maybe and hopefully, tomorrow, he could find them and tell them what had happened. They must have been scared to death to be left out on the streets at dark after school hours.
