I do not own the Powerpuff Girls...

Blossom flew to Florida that week since she didn't have classes for four days the week of Thanksgiving. She decided to be the first one over to see the Professor and Ms. Keane. Once her plane landed, she walked out to find the Professor and Ms. Keane waving to her, which made her smile. She immediately ran over to hug them both.

"How are you doing?" Professor Utonium said excitedly.

"I'm very good!" Blossom answered. "Townsville is pretty lonely without you two."

"Yes but Florida is better." Ms. Keane laughed.

"You lost weight, Blossom. Have you been on those silly diets most girls your age go on?" Professor joked.

"Nope. Just regular eating healthy and exercise." Blossom giggled.

"Come on. Let's grab your luggage." Ms. Keane said.

Blossom's pink luggage and duffle bags decorated with red hearts were one of the few bags to come out first. Florida was hot, but it was nice to get away from Townsville for a while. After they had gotten her bags, they headed to the car. Professor got a brand new BMW Beamer.

"When is Bubbles flying out?" Blossom asked.

"She will be here tomorrow. She said she would come today, but she had a hands-on exam." Professor answered.

"So glad I didn't consider fashion school." Blossom giggled.

The drive home was nice. Blossom saw all sorts of tropical life and noticed how blue the ocean was.

"Gee, Professor. The must be all kinds of tropical life down here you could get research on." Blossom said.

"Believe me; I have discovered things I didn't know even existed till now. Maybe I will show you some of the research when we get home." Professor suggested.

"Honey, let her unpack and get settled in." Ms. Keane said and winked to Blossom.

Professor pulled up to the driveway of the house. It was much larger than Blossom's old house in the suburbs of Townsville. Bigger and more spacious. The interior was still the same; retro 60sish. The Professor set the girls up in a room with three separate beds. One single twin size bed and a bunk bed. Blossom took her place on the top bunk before Buttercup could snag it. Blossom looked out the window of her room and saw the beach. The water was clear blue and beautiful.

"Professor, can I live here forever?" Blossom joked.

Professor laughed and said, "I'm glad you like it, Blossom. Want to see the lab?"

"Yeah!" Blossom said and followed her father down to the basement.


Blossom sat on the beach with Ms. Keane. She asked her to look over her article for her internship with Cosmopolitan.

"What do you think?" Blossom asked.

"It's...interesting...not very informative enough, though." Ms. Keane said.

"How so?" That wasn't the answer Blossom wanted to hear.

"Well, you are just stating what you feel. You don't have enough facts. Besides, how can...wait, Blossom, is something going on?"

"Uh...why?" Blossom seemed nervous.

"Well, your article is giving something away. Are you seeing someone?" Ms. Keane asked.

Blossom could trust Ms. Keane. She was the first one, besides her sisters and Robin, she went to when she lost her virginity to her first boyfriend in high school, Dexter, and was heartbroken when he ended their relationship because she earned the title valedictorian and he came in as class salutatorian. He claimed he was robbed of that title and couldn't be with a girl who was "smarter than him."; this made Buttercup go over to his house at night so she could punch him in the nose because not only did he break Blossom's heart and robbed her of her virginity but he came off as sexist. She knew her well enough not to go rat her out to Professor Utonium.

"Well...I broke up with my boyfriend, Declan," Blossom started, "and I ran into Brick Jojo of the Rowdyruff Boys. We started hanging out as friends because we were lonely and needed the company of one another. Then we both decided we missed the physical intimacy and...well...we were sleeping with one another but vowed just to stay friends."

"Oh, my..." Ms. Keane said.

"Are you disappointed in me?" Blossom asked.

"Well I will be honest," Ms. Keane started, "I don't agree with what you are doing with this boy. But you are a young 19-year-old woman now and old enough to make choices. However, I feel that you cannot have that relationship with someone and just expect only friendship."

"You are the third person to tell me this. Buttercup was first, then Robin."

"Well, don't listen to Buttercup because she isn't one to talk. She goes through boys like she does socks." Ms. Keane said making Blossom giggle. "But it isn't possible for that to happen. Do you like this boy?"

"I don't know..." Blossom said. "He is great looking, funny, smart, sarcastic and he is great company. But I don't know. It's hard to tell..."

"Blossom, I just want you to be careful. That is all I am saying." Ms. Keane said patting Blossom on the arm.


It was Thanksgiving morning; Bubbles came in two days before, and she and Blossom spent the last two days sitting on the beach, gossiping, playing in the ocean, going out for a drink, doing each other's hair, making mud masks and baking pies the night before. Bubbles loved the new house.

"I can't wait for Buttercup to come home." Bubbles said while preparing the stuffing. "We will be together again."

"I wonder what time she is getting here." Blossom said while preparing spinach artichoke dip.

The doorbell rang. Blossom and Bubbles flew to the door, leaving pink and blue streaks, and answered it. It was Buttercup wearing her army combat uniform. Her last name, Utonium, was embroidered on the side. Blossom and Bubbles both attack hugged her.

"Woah! Is this the welcoming committee?" Buttercup asked.

"We missed you!" Blossom cried.

"You saw me two months ago." Buttercup chuckled.

"You look great!" Bubbles commented on her uniform.

"Well, the army agrees with me." Buttercup joked. "It smells good in here. Are you guys preparing the food?"

"Yes. Come help us!" Bubbles cried while jumping up and down.

"Bubbles, she just got in. Let her relax first." Blossom laughed.

"Yeah. Where is Professor and Ms. Keane?"

Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane saw Buttercup and ran over to her.

"There is my soldier girl!" Professor exclaimed and hugged Buttercup. "You look great! I'm so glad you are here."

"I'm happy to be home. Now, where is the beach? I want to see it!"


As Blossom and Bubbles were in the kitchen baking and cooking, Buttercup, who was now wearing a fitted green tank top and blue jean shorts that gave an outline of her curvy athletic figure, walked in

"Did you girls invite anyone over?" she asked.

"I asked my roommate, but she is going home to London to see her family, so nope hehe." Bubbles giggled.

"Yeah. No one interested me." Buttercup said. "How about you, Blossom? Did you invite Brick?"

"Yeah...and I kind of invited his brothers to fly out too," Blossom replied.

"You invited the whole Rowdyruff Boy clan?" Bubbles asked.

"Why would you invite them?" Buttercup asked.

"Well they were going to be alone, and I felt bad so why not invite them? Besides, didn't you say you thought Boomer was cute, Bubbles?" Blossom joked.

"He is..." Bubbles giggled. "But still! It's the Rowdyruff Boys!"

"Maybe she wants to get it in down in Florida." Buttercup joked. "Or better yet, maybe Florida isn't the only southern region she wants Brick to visit..."

"Buttercup, TMI!" Blossom snapped.

"Come on, Blossom; it isn't like I don't know he has done that to you." Buttercup snickered.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Blossom gave the sweet potatoes to Buttercup and said, "Tend to these while I get the door."

As Blossom ran to the door, Buttercup said, "She is still bossy."

As Blossom walked to the door, she checked herself in the mirror and fixed her hair a bit. She got the door and saw all three Rowdyruff Boys standing there.

"Hey, Pink Stuff!" Brick greeted her as he bent to hug her.

"How was your flight?" Blossom asked.

"It was boring but what can you do?" Boomer said.

Bubbles peeked through the kitchen and saw the boys. She turned to Buttercup and said, "Wow...the years have been good to them. Boomer is...wow wee! Check out those biceps He is like a blonde god now."

"Bubbles relax. I bet they are...oh my God. Butch is hot. Look at that body!" Buttercup commented. "Hot damn, I'd let him do things to me all night."

Bubbles gave Buttercup a look only for Buttercup to say, "Come on, girl! You are thinking the same thing!"

The boys saw Bubbles and Buttercup peek from the kitchen. They flushed red and ran away.

"Anyway, can we come in? It's hot as balls out here." Butch said earning a dirty look from Brick.

"Sure. Come in." Blossom let the boys in. "Girls, remember the Rowdyruff Boys?"

Buttercup and Bubbles walked out of the kitchen. Bubbles was stuttering, "Um...h...h...hi...very nice to see you again."

"Have you been working out? I mean you look like you work out...I mean...damn it...now I'm stuttering!" Buttercup stammered.

"You got something in your hair," Boomer said to Bubbles.

Bubbles saw she had some artichoke dip in her hair and ran into the kitchen embarrassed. Buttercup followed. Blossom snickered and said, "Don't mind them. Come on. I will set you guys up down stairs in the basement. The Professor has two air mattresses and a couch, which feels like a cloud when you sit on it."

"I get the couch!" Boomer exclaimed.

"Damn it," Butch said.

As Blossom led the boys in the basement, Brick pulled her aside and said, "Thanks for this. It would've sucked spending Thanksgiving at the diner."

"No problem," Blossom said.

"And to be honest, it would've sucked even more if you weren't in town," Brick added.

Blushing, Blossom said, "I'm happy I could help."

Brick smiled and followed his brothers downstairs while Blossom walked back to the kitchen.
