The Alchemeister
Chapter Two: Late for School
The morning light was now bathing the Powerpuff Girls' bedroom with dim light. All of them were still fast asleep, at least until the more direct light shone in on Blossom's face. She slowly opened her eyes, and turned to look on the clock on the wall. Realizing that school started in five minutes she sat straight up in bed. Buttercup, Bubbles, wake up!. She got no more than a few drowsy groans out of the two of them though. Come on! We're going to be late!.
Hmm, What?, said Bubbles, opening her eyes and looking for the clock. Oh my gosh, you're right!. She then zipped out of bed to get ready.
Buttercup on the other hand opened one eye to take a look. We aren't gonna make it., she mumbled, Let's just call in sick today....
Oh please... Just get ready will you?, and Blossom then pulled the sheets right off of Buttercup.
Unnh... ok... ok....
Less than a minute later, Blossom had flown downstairs to start getting breakfast ready. She was zipping from refrigerator to stove to several cupboards pausing only seconds in front of each. She was in such a hurry that she fried the eggs with her eye beams before they even hit the pan. Even the orange juice seemed to be pouring too slow for her liking. By now Bubbles and Buttercup were coming down to join her.
Everyone hurry and eat up., Blossom said as she quickly slid their plates in front of them.
Hey! You didn't make the smiley face with the eggs and bacon....
I didn't have time Bubbles!, Blossom said with half of her breakfast already gone. Oh no! We only have 2 minutes... We need to go now!. She then grabbed Bubbles and Buttercup and dragged them outside, even with Bubbles still holding her fork in her hand. Immediately they were off and flying towards school. Blossom clearly in the lead.
We're not gonna make it!, said Bubbles.
Yes we are! Kick in the afterburners!.
At this Bubbles and Buttercup give Blossom a strange look. , .
Oh, never mind, you know what I mean. Keep flying!.
Buttercup flew up to Bubbles saying under her breath, Oh, so that's why she wasn't sleeping well last night.. Bubbles was trying to stifle a giggle.
What was that?, said Blossom looking angrily behind her.
, the other two chimed in.
Not long after that, the girls arrived at Pokey Oaks, going through the roof as usual, and landing right at their seats, and not a moment too soon. Miss Keane was just about to take roll.
Girls how many times must I tell you not to fly through the roof?, Miss Keane pleaded.
Blossom looked around nervously before saying, Um, well, you've told us not to fly off through the roof... You never said anything about flying in.... She had a rather sheepish grin after that.
Miss Keane just rolled her eyes and said, Oh, forget it... Now let's start roll call....
As she went through the names of the class, the girls began to talk among themselves.
That was close..., sighed Blossom.
At least we didn't have to put up with that awful coffee smell the Professor makes., responded Buttercup.
Bubbles then said, Yeah... Hey wait, why wasn't the professor up?.
Hey wait,, realized Buttercup, where was he? Wasn't he supposed to wake us up?.
He must have slept in too., replied Blossom. You know how late he works in his lab sometimes..
Even then, it's not like he'd forget about us.
I guess he was the one calling a sick day..., smiled Bubbles.
Ah, grown-ups get all the fun., Buttercup said.
Meanwhile, back at the Powerpuff Girls' house, a man dressed in long blue robes was standing near the Professor's bed. So far so good, he's asleep like I knew he would. Now the house is empty, I can search the laboratory. If he has what I want stored away, I should be able to enjoy my day.... And with that, he descended into the lab.
