Besides, I heard that McCracken likes to collect every unofficial product based on his series, so this must be good news to him :)

Hey! Now that I know that the boy's names are "The Rowdyruff Boys", Brick (the red one), Boomer (the blue one) and Butch (the green one), I don't need to put that long explanation on each chapter :)

Well, on with the story.

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-C: Bubbles

The house of the Powerpuff girls and Prof. Utonium had changed over the years. First of all, when the girls grew up, the porffesor though that it would be a good idea for them to have their own room.

Other thing that was built about two years ago was a swimming pool at their backyard, which they enjoyed very much during the summer. Even more considering that the other students with pools at their high school never invited them over when they threw a pool party.

In this particular Saturday morning, Bubbles was out at their backyard, dressed in her ocean blue one-piece bathing suit and a hat to keep the sun off her eyes.
She really didn't feel like swimming today, so she was just enjoying the early sunrays on her skin, laying down on one of the garden reclining chairs. Drinking up some home made lemonade and reading her favorite book "Little women."

She was reaching over to the armrest of the chair where she kept the glass of lemonade, when suddenly she felt something jumping on her legs, surprising her.

"What is ... Ooooh." Bubbles smiled sweetly when she saw that it was a cat. A yellow-black tiger striped cat. The cat just sat there, on Bubbles' legs, moving its tail, and meowing at her once in a while.

Bubbles put the book down, and patted the cat, which moved according to her hand. "Where did you come from? Aren't you the cute little kitty ... are you lost?"

Bubbles then noticed the name tag hanging from the cat's collar around its neck. Holding the name tag up with one hand, she read it out loud. "Hmmm... 'Winston', is that your name? Winston?"

The cat meowed in response, Bubbles smiled. "I guess it is. So Winston, where did you come from?"

Just then, Bubbles looked up and to a side as she heard someone calling up the cat's name. "WINSTON! WINSTON WHERE ARE YOU!?"

Bubbles picked up Winston with both hands, cradling the tiger striped cat in her arms, and stood up. "Looks like someone's looking for you."

Bubbles was about to walk to where she heard the voice, but they beat her to it. Just then someone walked into her backyard from the side.

It was a boy. "Winston? Oh, there you are."

The boy seemed to be Bubbles' age, and had the same golden blond hair, cut in a way that framed his face just right. He also had deep blue eyes like Bubbles'.
He was dressed lightly from the warm day. Just a pair of navy blue shorts, a white T-shirt and blue cloth shoes with no socks.

Bubbles blushed almost immediately when she saw how handsome he was, but shook it of and focused in the matter at hand. "Hum, it's this your cat?" She asked to the approaching boy.

"Yes, that's Winston. I'm sorry, did he jump up on you? He tends to do that." Said the boy, now standing just in front of Bubbles, who was still blushing a bit.

Bubbles smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, it's okay." She said, handing the cat back to the boy, who held it in both arms. The cat just meowed lightly and settled on the boy's arms.

"He looks like a very friendly cat." Said Bubbles, a little bit of longing in her voice.

"He is, but he tends to run off some times." Answered the boy, "Are you Bubbles?" He asked.

Bubbles blinked at this question, it had taken her by surprise "Yes, I am. How did you know my name? I'm sure I never saw you before."

The boy smiled, "Well, you are a girl, you are blond, and unless you like hanging out in other people's backyards, you live here. So you must be Bubbles."

Bubbles nodded in understanding, of course the boy would have recognized by that. Everyone knew "The house where the Powerpuff Girls live in", it was one of the reasons that tourists ever visited Townsville.

Bubbles looked down just then, knowing that this nice conversation was soon going to be over, she was used to people not talking to her as soon as they found out who she was.

"Nice to meet you Bubbles, my name's Tom." The boy introduced himself with a smile.

Bubbles blinked and looked up. He was still talking to her? He had even told her his name! Had she fallen asleep while reading and was now having a dream?

"Nice ... nice to meet you too Tom." She finally managed to answer.

"So Bubbles, you like cats?" Asked Tom.

"Yes, but I don't have one." Answered Bubbles.

"Huh? How come?"

"Well, my dad doesn't allow us to have any pets that cannot stay all the time in a glass case or a cage, so cats and dogs are out of the question. I do have a goldfish, a little turtle and a cute little hamster." She replied.

"I see. Tell you what, in thanks for finding Winston for me, how about we come visit you once in a while." Said Tom.

Bubbles couldn't believe her ears. She nodded, "Yes, I would love to."

Tom smiled, "Great, see you around then." He said this as he walked away, waving back with one hand.

Bubbles just watched him go. When he was out of sight, she ran as fast as she could into her room without it being fast enough to be considered super speed. She just HAD to write this in her diary.

In his lab, Mojo Jojo smiled evilly as he watched the scene with a fly-robot camera.

Everything was going just as he had planned.
