Besides, I heard that McCracken likes to collect every unofficial product based on his series, so this musty be good news to him :)
Author's notes about this story READ THIS OR YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND SOME THINGS!!!!:
One of the biggest success of Cartoon Network's 'Cartoon Cartoons' are the Powerpuff girls. Not only do they have their TV series and motion picture, they also have tons of merchandising (official and unofficial) their own comic book made by DC, video games, an original sound track CD, they even have a Daytona 500 car and a commercial airplane with their pictures painted on them!
They are, in few words, a world wide success. Their show has been translated into 14 languages across 145 countries. From french to german.
In each version, they have different names so they will be easier to understand by each country. Over here, in Argentina (and every other country that speaks spanish of course), they are known as 'Las chicas superpoderosas', and their names are Bombon, Burbuja y Bellota (As you can see, the only one that still has its original name is Bubbles). In France they are known as 'Les Super Nenas', an their names are Belle, Bulle and Rebelle. In Italy they are known as 'Le Superchicche': Lolly, Dolly and Molly. And in Poland they are 'Atom—wki' and their names are B—jka, Bajka and Brawurka. And this is just to name a few.
Having only seen the spanish version of the series, I only know the names of the characters in that version. By looking around I have found out the original names of almost every character of the series. But unfortunately I wasn't able to find the original names of the characters that I'm going to use in this fic, and that only appeared once during the whole series.
I'm talking about the episode were Mojo Jojo creates three super kids that are the opposite of the Powerpuff girls. At first these new super kids beat them, but finally they are beaten when the Powerpuff girls give them a peck on the cheek.
Since these three boys have only appeared one time in the WHOLE TV series. I wasn't able to find their original names.
I only know their names in spanish: Los Chicos Jocosos: Bandido (The blue one), Bajeza (The red one) and Bacteria (The Green one)
And so, I have no choice but to translate their names to english, not really knowing if they are their original names or not. If someone knows their original names, please e-mail them to me so I can change them, and erase this long and annoying author's notes section :)
The names of these characters will be: The Bully Boys - Bandit (the blue one), Brat (the red one), and Bacteria (the green one)
NEW NOTE:
I have recieved a few e-mails regarding the boy's names. And I just found out that their names are the the "Rowdyruff Boys" Brick (Red), Boomer (Blue), Butch (Green)
From now on I will write them as such, and I will re-post theother chapters with the corrections as soon as I can manage.
Thanks again for all the people out there that sent me that info.
Also, this series is set in the future, where the girls are teenagers and go to Townsville's high school.
Well, after this LONG explanation, on with the show.

This Chapter will be divided into three. The three parts can be read in any order, since they happen at the same time.
Chapter 2-B: Buttercup
The Townsville park. It was a good place to hang out for any kind of physical activities, even when Mojo's lab was at the top of the, now, inactive volcano.
It was early Saturday, so there weren't many people at the park. Which was good, because it meant that all the good basketball courts were unoccupied, and Buttercup loved a good basketball practice on the weekends.
She was wearing her usual outfit when she played basketball at the park, a pair of green shorts, a green Nike T-shirt, and of course her basketball shoes that she wore almost every day since she started mid school.
When she was alone like this, she some times liked to indulge herself a little and use her powers, just for the fun of it. But today she really didn't feel like it. All she wanted to do was shoot a few three pointers for practice before heading back home.
Buttercup held her official WNBA ball carefully, aimed from behind the three point line, and let it fly.
The ball went in smoothly inside the basket.
"Yeah! Nothing but the bottom of the net!" Said Buttercup to herself.
"Well, it's easy to make that shot when there's nobody covering your shot."
"Huh?" Buttercup turned around to see who had said that.
And immediately blushed.
It was a boy, about her age, and he was incredibly handsome. He had semi long hair, held by a green basketball headband, and emerald green eyes.
He was also dressed up to shoot some hoops. He was wearing a Boston Celtics basketball shirt with the number 45, long black sweatpants, and white Adidas basketball shoes. An official NBA ball under his right arm.
Buttercup shook her head as she remembered what the boy had said about her shot. "Oh really? I suppose you could do it better?" Asked the teenage girl.
The boy chuckled, "Just watch."
The boy walked a few steps, standing just behind the three point line, aimed and fired.
The shoot had been as good as Buttercup's getting inside the basket fast and smoothly.
Buttercup nodded in acknowledgment, "Impressive, but as you well said, 'it's easy to make that shot when there's nobody covering your shot'."
The boy looked at Buttercup skeptically. "Is that a challenge?"
Buttercup smiled and returned his look, "What do you think."
"Okay then, wanna make it interesting? The winner gets the looser basketball." Proposed the boy.
"You're on! I'll even let you use your own ball to play against me." Responded Buttercup, as she picked up her ball and placed it outside the field, and tossed the other ball back to the boy.
He grabbed it with ease, "You're pretty confident."
Buttercup just smiled with confidence, and the game was on.
Soon both discovered that both of them were darn good players. Buttercup dodged him by dibbling, he would shoot over Buttercup's defense. The boy scored from downtown, Buttercup countered with a steal, a rebound and another basket. Needles to say that not even once Buttercup used her super powers, she wanted to win this cleanly.
After twenty minutes of intense play, the score was tied 9 to 9. The next one of them to score would win.
Buttercup had the ball, she dribbled it with ease, but the boy was covering her very good, and she couldn't seem to get trough.
"C'mon ... just give it up." Taunted the boy. He tried to steal the ball from Buttercup.
Buttercup moved the ball away from his hands with a masterful dribbling. "Me? You are the one that should give up. You weren't able to steal the ball from me since we started playing." She taunted back.
Then the boy smiled, looked at Buttercup in the eye, and said something that the teenage Powerpuff Girl wasn't expecting. "You're very pretty."
At hearing that, Buttercup was petrified. She just opened her eyes wide, blushing furiously, not knowing what to do or say.
"Got it!" The boy said mockingly, as he took the ball away from Buttercup, he then ran to the basket, and when he was close enough he shoot it. The ball went in smoothly, and the boy scored the tenth and final point to win.
"I win." He said simply.
Buttercup had overcome her surprise, and was now angry. "Hey! No fair! You cheated!"
"Now wait a minute, we never said that we couldn't say things to distract the other now didn't we?" He responded.
"Humf." Buttercup crossed her arms and turned her head away.
The boy laughed, picked up Buttercup's ball, and walked back to where Buttercup was. "Now c'mon, don't be angry, let me make it up to you. How 'bout I give you your ball back and I buy you a sundae."
At this, Buttercup was kind of surprised. At first she though that this guy was a jerk, but now she found him kind of cute. He seemed nice enough.
"O-okay ... thanks." Buttercup answered, a little blush coming to her cheeks.
"My name's Axel. What's yours?" Said the boy, as he passed the ball back to Buttercup.
Buttercup had wished that he didn't ask that. She knew what would happen then, she would say her name. He would stammer something incoherent, suddenly remember that he had something very important to do, and then leave to never be seen by her again.
"I'm Buttercup." Sighing, Buttercup waited for the inevitable.
She was not ready when the boy just smiled and answered, "Nice to meet you Buttercup."
As the boy went to pick up his own basketball, Buttercup watched him in surprise, then finally managed to ask. "Wait ... are you sure you know who I am? I said I was Buttercup, as in the POWERPUFF GIRL Buttercup."
"I know." Replied the boy, dismissing it as unimportant. "Follow me, I know a great place where they serve the best sundae in town." The boy started to walk away towards the park's exit.
Buttercup followed him in a hurry. "W-wait ... why are you doing this then?"
Axel smiled, "I told you before, I think you're pretty. I wasn't lying when I said that."
Buttercup had never been happier, if this was a dream, she wished to never wake up.
************************
In Mojo's lab.
Mojo smiled as he saw Butch, under the false name of Axel, walked out of Townsville park with Buttercup.
He laughed. His plan was going very well.
