Author's Pre-Story Babbling: Teehee! I'm so happy. You guys are so kewl, reviewing my story and such. It's just so inspiring that I'm gonna dish out yet another chapter for ya! So here it is.

For disclaimer, see Chapter 1. Now, where were we? Oh, yes..

Chapter 3

Bubbles blinked, finding a large pair of sapphire eyes staring into her own, and opened her mouth to speak..
..only to pass out again. Boomer shrugged, then him and the two other 'ruffs took off, back to the Utonium residence.

They crashed through the roof, creating a second hole next to the first.
"Oh, GOOD, you're back." the professor said. "Here, bring them to their room." he walked out of the room, down the hall, and to the right, followed by the Rowdyruffs and the pooped 'puffs. Professor opened the door and the six floated inside. Brick, Boomer, and Butch all carefully laid their counterparts on their bed. Brick yawned.
"Can we go to bed now?"
"Of course. Go ahead." Professor said. He checked each of the girls' heads as the boys floated out and to their room. Since none had any injuries, then the professor concluded that it was exhaustion that kept them out, and not a concussion. He tucked them into bed, then left for his own room. Other wounds could be looked at tommorow, once everyone had gotten a good night's sleep.

The next day, the Powerpuff Girls awoke to the sound of birds chirping, and the sun shining into their eyes.

"Oww.. I'm sore all over.." Blossom whined.
"Same here.." Bubbles sniffed.
"Aw, quit bein' babies." Buttercup said. She hopped out of bed and landed nimbly on the floor with no problems.. then she fell over. "Ohh.. it hurts to move.."

After they had all stretched, brushed their teeth, and combed their hair, they got dressed and floated downstairs. As they usually did, they headed towards the dining room for breakfast.
"Good morning, girls!" Professor Utonium greeted cheerfully, as they passed through the kitchen.
"..g'morning Professor.." they replied, rather grumpy. The girls continued on to the dining room.

Once they got there, each Powerpuff sat down next to the Rowdyruff (who had already started their breakfast) of their matching color and began to eat quietly.

After a while, Blossom turned to Brick.
"Hi. I'm Blossom, of the Powerpuff Girls."
He nodded.
"I'm Brick, of the Rowdyruff Boys." Brick and Blossom shook 'hands', then went on eating.

Silence.

"WHAT?!" Blossom asked calmly.
"I'm Brick, of-" Brick started, but was promptly cut off by Blossom kicking his face in. He flew backwards and through the wall. "Ow! Hey, what'd you do that for?"

Bubbles and Buttercup, also suddenly realizing who they were having breakfast with, had just gotten their counterparts into chokeholds when the professor walked in.
"Girls, girls! Stop fighting!"
"Blossom! Should we just do what we did last time?" Buttercup yelled.
"Yeah! That should get 'em!"
"Now wait just a minute, girls!" Professor started, but it was too late. All three of the girls stopped fighting, and kissed each of the boys on the cheek.

Silence, yet again.

"EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!" Butch screamed. He zipped out from underneath Buttercup and up the stairs. Boomer snickered while wiping the side of his face off with his sleeve.
"Now you've done it. You made Butch cry." he cracked.
"Dude!" Brick squirmed away from Blossom. "What's your problem?! One minute you're hitting us for no reason, the next you're giving us your girl cooties! What's up with that?!"

Blossom blinked audibly.
"How come they didn't go poof?" Bubbles asked.
"Brick, Boomer, go upstairs for a minute please? I need to speak with the girls."
"Right-o, Pops." Brick flew up the stairs, followed by Boomer.

The professor turned to the girls.
"Now then. I believe I have some explaining to do."



Author's Post-Story Babbling: Yeesh, this took a long time to write! Probably because I was trying to type this up and watch Hairspray at the same time. Teehee. Not a good way to write; it gets hard to keep everyone in character. I still did an okay job though, yes? ^-^ You know the routine, folks! Review-eth!
