"Girls! We're leaving in five minutes!" Professor's voice booms throughout the house. Bubbles and I are sitting upstairs in our bedroom. She's coloring; I'm just sitting and watching her. She stands up, and we both make our way downstairs. Buttercup is already sitting on our blue couch, and we sit down next to her. The Professor walks in and sees that we're all ready to go. "Let's get going then, girls."
We all plod along behind him to the car. I'm kind of scared to meet t his new woman. I mean, what if she's mean to us. No, Professor said she was nice. He wouldn't lie to us. At least I get to go with Bubbles. Buttercup has to go alone. Maybe I'll have to go alone, too at some point. I don't know.
We begin driving, and I realize we're heading toward the mayor's office. We're a little past that, in a place I'm not really familiar with. There are small office buildings around here, and I guess we're not going to Dr. Venga's house, because there aren't any houses here. She must be working today. It's very nice that she would give up her work time to talk to us. The Professor pulls our car into a space, and tells us that we're all going to go inside together.
Bubbles and I climb out of the backseat, and Buttercup climbs out of the front, passenger seat. Professor is already waiting for us, outside the car. I push down the door lock button on my door, and realize Professor has already locked all the doors. He always thinks ahead.
We walk into the small waiting room, and there's no one else in the room. On the other side of the counter is a receptionist, and Professor asks us to sit down and wait. He walks up to the receptionist, and they talk to each other, but I can't hear what they're saying. Professor sits down next to me. The receptionist then leaves for somewhere back beyond the counter.
I look over at Buttercup. She looks really nervous. She's biting her lower lip. I should tell her that isn't good for her, but Professor might get mad at me, so I won't. I look at her hand. The nails look uneven and weird. Bubbles is looking excited. She always likes meeting new people.
The door opens, and there is a new woman standing there. Professor stands up and walks over to her, "Catherine, how are you doing today?" He shakes her hand. I don't know why he used both hands to shake her hand, though. Sometimes, the Professor is really weird. "These are my girls: Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup." We each wave as he introduces us.
"Okay, nice to meet you ladies," Dr. Venga has a very pretty smile when she speaks. "So, I'll be talking to Bubbles and Blossom first?"
"Yes! I'm Bubbles, and I didn't want to have to be alone, so I thought Blossom could come with me. Blossom's really nice, and she always stands up for me and Buttercup."
"I don't need nobody to stand up for me, you dork!" Buttercup has always been like this to Bubbles.
I see her lower chin start to quiver, so I reach over and give Bubbles a hug. Trying her hardest to smile again, she tells me, "Thank you, Blossom." Then she starts talking in Squirrel again. I see Dr. Venga look at Professor, and she looks confused.
"Are you a squirrel, Bubbles?" Dr. Venga asked.
"No, silly! I'm a Powerpuff Girl!" Bubbles replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh, okay then. Well, if you two are ready, then we can talk now. Why don't you follow me into my office?" Dr. Venga's very sweet. We follow her down a short hallway, and enter a really pretty room with all sorts of different couches, and chairs. She invites Bubbles and I to sit down wherever we want, and we both take a spot on the long couch. She pulls a chair over from across the room.
I wonder what we're going to talk about. Maybe she'll ask about our mentors. I hope not, though. I don't really want to talk to her. I don't want to tell her anything. No one else has cared to listen to me talk. Why should she? She doesn't even know me.
