Thank you everyone for reading! And thanks for all your wonderful suggestiongs for episodes to include in the story. I will try to fit in as many as I can in the spots they are needed. In the mean time though, 20 chapters later things finally start to calm down a little. Hope you guys like it! ^^

"Wait, so what happened?"

Brick bit into his bagel before he could answer, chewing quickly. The six of them sat in a circle on the floor of the Powerpuff Girls' room, a plate assorted food in front of them. Boomer was on his left, his knees up and leaning back on his hands while Bubbles on his right, sitting in a similar manner but with her arms wrapped around her legs. Butch next to her, lying on his back with an arm folded behind his head, a piece of leftover pepperoni pizza in his other. Blossom was kneeling of the other side of the platter between Boomer and Buttercup, whose legs were crossed.

Brick lowered his hand that was holding his bagel, resting his arm on top of his knee that was up, his other leg on the ground. He was about to swallow so he could answer Buttercup's question when Bubbles asked a new one, "So you guys don't remember anything after we got rid of Mojo's first remote?"

"I don't," Brick replied, glancing from Boomer to Butch who both shook their heads.

Buttercup opened her mouth to repeat her question when Blossom asked another, "What do you remember first?" Buttercup folded her arms together in annoyance.

A chill ran down Brick's spine. He noticed that both Butch and Boomer had gone tense at her question as well. Brick chewed on his lip, not wanting to answer.

Butch answered fairly willingly though, the humor in his voice gone, "I had an energy ball in my hand when I woke up, and Buttercup was already out cold." He glanced over to his brothers, "I think Boomer might have snapped out of it before me … and I think Brick was still fighting. He stopped pretty soon after me though."

Boomer, who had been staring at his shoes, glanced over to Bubbles, "How's your arm?"

Brick's eyebrows ceased in confusion. He turned to Bubbles to see an abnormally large bruise that remained on her right arm, which she quickly covered with her opposite hand. "It's fine," she smiled.

A gloomy grin appeared on Brick's face for a moment, before quickly vanishing again. He looked up at Blossom, "So what made you guys want to come get us after that?"

Blossom smiled, "Mojo explained everything. You know how he loves to talk…"

"Yeah, he was all, 'I am Mojo Jojo!" Buttercup mocked, waving her hands around widely. "And I have created the Rowdyruff Boys from you! And Blah, blah, blah-blah! And all I have to do is press this button and they shall destroy you! Watch!" she repeated, pretending to operate an imaginary remote.

Bubbles folded her arms together, "I don't know Buttercup, I think Blossom does it better…"

"Oh yeah," Buttercup challenged before dashing off in a flash of green light, returning a split second later with a bucket that she placed on Blossom's head, "Have at it red!"

Blossom giggled, "I, Mojo Jojo, have finally devised the perfect plan to destroy the Powerpuff Girls once and for all! You Powerpuff Girls shall be powerless to stop me! Nothing you do will be able to protect you from the wrath of my Rowdyruff Boys!"

All three Rowdyruffs were cracking up; Boomer holding his gut as he fell over and Butch rolling on his front, banging on the floor. Bubbles flew off while Blossom was ranting like a certain monkey, returning behind Buttercup with a red ribbon in her hand. As Blossom continued she tied it into a bow on Buttercup's head, "And there is nothing you can do to stop me! Mwahaha!"

"Pow!" Buttercup murmured as she punched Blossom in slow motion, Blossom flailing her arms little by little as she fell on her side. She pretended to lay limply on the floor as Buttercup reached over and took the cookie that had been in her hand. "Now, what are you going to do without your remote?" she asked, holding it high above her head.

Blossom sat up and grabbed another cookie from the plate in front of her, "I shall magically pull out another one!"

Brick fell to the floor with his brothers, gripping his sides as he laughed. He glanced up to see Bubbles looked at him and pointing at her head. He tilted his head to the side and reached up to grab his hat, handing it to her. She placed it on her head and glared at Buttercup who was still pretending to be Blossom. "Grrr…" and she fell on top of her, making both of them fall over.

Brick laughed again at their demonstration, Butch snorting next to him. Boomer calmed down after a moment, still laughing as he spoke, "Wait… I got this one!"

He reached over and grabbed the bucket from Blossom and Brick's cap from Bubbles, placing it on his head. Brick glanced over to see Boomer placing something on his head as well, realizing it was the bucket Blossom had been wearing.

Brick grinned evilly, talking in a different tone, "The Powerpuff Girls have finally been defeated!" Buttercup was starting to get up, but fell back to the ground after hearing Brick's imitation, playing dead.

Boomer giggled, "But they're not dead."

"What!" Brick pretended to yell. "They must be destroyed! Otherwise they will continue to get in my way! Destroy them! Now!"

Blossom and Bubbles were giggling to one another at their impressions, Buttercup's chest rising unevenly as she laughed and attempted to appear asleep. Boomer stifled his quiet laughter to say his line, "We can't!"

"Why not!" Brick whined.

"Because Butch will pile-drive you into the ground," Boomer explained.

Brick glanced down at Butch who was eyeing him menacingly, his eyes glinting and a huge grin on his face. Brick scooted away, raising his hands in up in front of him, not longer talking in his monkey voice, "Butch… no. Don't look at me like that!"

"Aww," he complained, his grin fading.

Boomer chuckled, "It was pretty good last time."

Bubbles glanced up from her giggling, "Last time?"

Butch grinned widely, "Yeah, Mojo didn't know what hit him!"

Blossom stopped laughing and Buttercup started to sit up again, "Wait, you actually tackled Mojo? Why?"

Butch's eyebrows creased as Brick responded, grabbing his hat from Boomer, "Didn't we tell you about that before?"

All three girls shook their heads in unison. Brick and Boomer glanced at each other in surprise before turning back to the girls, "Oh… well, when we first met after… uh, after we knocked you out, we didn't know what to do so we decided to try…" Brick paused for a moment, finding it hard to speak as he glanced at Bubbles who was waiting all too innocently for an answer, "We tried having Butch attack Bubbles instead, but Boomer protected Bubbles from his attack."

Bubbles' eyes widened, startled. She glanced over to Butch who was still laying on his stomach, facing her. He dipped his head solemnly, "Sorry…"

She merely giggled and ruffled his hair. "It's fine," she replied cheerfully. Butch glanced up to make sure he was forgiven before smiling back at her.

"But Boomer protected Bubbles?" Blossom asked as her and Buttercup turned to their sister's counterpart.

Brick grinned as Boomer turned to hide his face, "Yep, he came out of nowhere and stopped Butch at the last second." He noticed Boomer blush slightly as Bubbles giggled again.

Blossom tilted her head slightly, her eyebrows puckering, "That's interesting…"

"Ya know," Butch interrupted, causing everybody to turn to him. He'd rolled back onto his back, staring at the piece of pizza still in his hand, "If it wasn't for you guys, we probably would've starved to death by now."

Brick and Boomer laughed. He was right, if they hadn't come to the Powerpuff Girls they probably wouldn't even know what food was. Boomer turned back to the girls, "Yeah, thanks again."

Bubble and Blossom both nodded, "It's fine," as Buttercup shrugged, smirking.

Then Blossom's eyes widened slightly and she stood up, "It sounds like the professor might be awake." Bubbles cupped her hand around her ear to listen. Brick and his brothers hadn't quite gotten their strength back yet, so their enhanced abilities were still dull. Bubbles nodded after a moment and got to her feet, Buttercup rising after her, "Let's go downstairs to wait for him then."

Bubbles walked over to Boomer, extending a hand to help him up. He grabbed on wearily, unsure of his strength, but surprisingly he was able to stand once he was on his feet. He grined, "Thanks Bubbles."

Blossom did the same, stepping over to Brick and pulling him up from his seat on the floor. He had a little more energy after eating, but far from enough to use his powers or feel any real pain from her touch. He swayed once or twice before regaining his balance, thanking Blossom for her help once he had.

After he stood, Buttercup stepped over to Butch, folding her arms together across her chest. Butch rolled onto his hands and knees, a determined look on his face. "Did you want some help?" Buttercup offered.

He shook his head, "I can do this..." He slowly lifted his hands off the ground until he was standing on his knees, then lifting one of his legs so that he was in a kneeling position and he began to sway as he rose. He flapped his arms around wildly in an effort to regain his balance, until Buttercup reached out and grabbed his hand, stopping him from falling over, "Quite being so stubborn."

The rest of the Powerpuffs and Rowdyruffs laughed at her statement, knowing all too well just how stubborn their green siblings were. She quickly helped Butch up to a standing position before they attempted to walk down the hall.

Brick smiled, feeling his heart swell. It was nice to be back; back at the Utonium house… back with the girls…

Back home.
