I feel the warm sun radiating onto my face and I stretch as I wake up. I wake up, and float out of bed to do my usual morning ritual. My sisters are still sleeping. I float downstairs, and find Professor bustling around in the kitchen, as usual. I sit down at the table carefully; I don't want to get any wrinkles in my nice, clean dress.
After a while of watching Professor cook us breakfast, I see my sisters float sleepily down the stairs. They sit down at the table next to me, and rub the sleep out of their eyes. Professor hears them and turns around. He looks very tired.
"Girls, I stayed up most of the night working on a special project. I need you to wear these all the time now while you're not at home. It's very important. When you get to school, you'll notice that the hotline phone isn't there." He stops talking for a moment, and he picks three boxes up off the counter - one pink, one blue, and one green. He places one in front of each of us. "Now, I want you to open those, and I'll explain them to you."
We open the boxes, and I look in mine to see a pale pink watch. I've never had a watch before. It'll be nice to know what time it is. I peak in the other girls' boxes and see that they also got watches.
"These aren't just ordinary watches. You are all connected now. If you ever need to get a hold of each other, these work almost like a walkie talkie. I have a black one, which is also connected to the three of you. If the mayor needs to call you girls, the call will go immediately through to Blossom. She'll then send the message to Bubbles and Buttercup and you can all meet at the scene. I've already told Ms. Keane about the watches, so you don't need to worry about that. If you need to let Ms. Keane know anything, be sure to get the message to me, and I can get the message to her." He paces slowly back and forth while he explains.
He spends a few moments demonstrating how the watches work. We also find out that if our mentors need to contact us, they can do that through the watches also. I decide to wear mine all the time, even when I'm at home. It's the responsible thing to do. I'm a superhero; I need to be responsible.
I gaze down at the pretty, pink watch. The digital read out tells me that, strangely enough, we are earlier than usual. I think we should leave for school early, to show all the kids our watches! They'll probably all want one, too. Too bad they aren't superheroes.
I ask Professor if we can leave for school early, since it's such a beautiful sunny day. He says that would be a wonderful idea. We get all ready and leave about twenty minutes earlier than usual.
We walk outside and the sun is shining fiercely on us. We decide to take a detour that we don't usually take. We start walking to Townsville Park because we have an extra twenty minutes today! Maybe we could play in Mojo Jojo's moat for a little bit!
I take my first step onto the cool grass, and I stop, sit down and take off my shoes and socks. I walk around on the grass carrying my shoes, with my socks inside them. The grass is squishy between my toes. Bubbles copies me, but Buttercup just laughs at us.
Buttercup takes off at a run toward Mojo Jojo's and we fly off after her. She kicks off her shoes once she gets to the moat, and pulls off her socks. We catch up to her just as she leaps into the cold water. Bubbles and I follow her example and throw ourselves carelessly in the water.
We splash each other, and giggle. It's always so much fun to play in a cold water moat on really hot days like these. I feel the sun shine down on me as I float on my back in the water. A butterfly skitters slowly through the air, and lands on a leaf next to the moat. I think it's thirsty. I bet it's hot too. I point out the butterfly to Bubbles and she gets very excited, and names it Buttons. She tells it that it can be an honorary Powerpuff Girl. I giggle, and decide to scope out our surroundings. It's always good to know what's going on around you.
