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.

Chapter 3
The house of the Powerpuff Girls. Another Saturay morning.
Once the girls began to grow up, Prof. Utonium decided to make up a small chart, which divided the different house chores in the different days of the week. That way everyone helped a little with the chores every day.
On Saturday, Blossom was in charge of making breakfast.
That's why the red headed super teenage girl was up and awake since nine in the morning, making breakfast for herself, her sisters, her father ... and something else.
Blossom smiled and blushed, as she remembered the going ons of last week.
A week. Seven days. One hundred and sixty eight hours.
It didn't matter how you counted it, to Blossom it had been the happiest moments of her life. It had been exactly a week since she met Ben in the public library.
Ben seemed to Blossom like a dream come true for her. They shared almost the same interests, she had helped him with his spanish homework, while he had helped her with her french homework. Sometimes they could go for hours talking about almost everything, exchanging ideas and opinions.
Blossom blushed even more, and she placed a hand on her cheek. It felt warm to the touch. She blushed at the memory of what they did just two days ago.
It turned out that Ben was also an amateur poet, and a damn good one too.
They had spent the entire afternoon in Townsville public park, under the shadow of a great tree, as he read her some of his poems.
(Persona: I know ... it's SOOOO corny)
After that, they had decided to spend the Saturday together. And Blossom was preparing some lunch for them to eat in the park.
Just then, Professor Utonium walked down the stairs from his room to the kitchen. He looked older than when the girls were going to pre-school. He had some wrinkles on his face, and some places of his hair was beginning to turn white. Still, he was as active as ever, always staying in his lab for hours at a time, working on different experiments.
He was still wearing his pajamas, with a robe and his slippers of course.
"Good morning Blossom." He said to Blossom as he sat down at the kitchen table. The newspaper was already on the table, and he started reading it.
Blossom turned her head from the french toasts with bacon she was preparing. "Good morning Professor." She said cheerfully.
She served the breakfast on a plate, filled a glass with some orange juice and placed it on the table in front of the Professor. "Here's your breakfast." She said just as cheerfully as before.
Prof. Utonium looked at Blossom, smiling. "My, aren't we cheerful this morning. And look at you, all dressed up. What's the occasion?"
Blossom blushed, and hid it as best she could by looking at the floor. Prof. Utonium was right, she was dressed up in her best pink summer dress. She was also wearing a pair of red leather sandals and a pink bracelet with little plastic flowers attached to it.
"Well ... that's hum ... that's a secret." Finally replied Blossom.
"A secret huh? Well, just as long as you don't do anything that I wouldn't approve of, I hope you have fun." He replied, and started eating breakfast while reading the newspaper. He was happy to see that the girls were in a very good mood for the last few days. As of late they had usually felt sad about something, even if they tried to hide it, it was always a good change to see them happy.
Blossom just went back to the stove, where she was making more frech toasts and bacon for her sisters, since she had already ate breakfast earlier. She quickly finished and served everything on the table, along with a two more glasses of orange juice for Buttercup and Bubbles.
Then she grabbed a pick nick basket, placed all the different sandwiches that she had made for Ben and her, and a big Pepsi bottle. She also put inside a few paper napkins, paper plates, and paper dishes.
As she was going out, she saw Buttercup coming downstairs from her room. Unlike Blossom that always wore her pink pajamas to bed, Buttercup just wore a big green T-shirt, too big for her, that reached a little over her knees.
"*Yawn!* Good morning everyone!" Said Buttercup, sounding as cheerful as Blossom had.
"Good morning Buttercup." Replied Prof. Utonium, as he turned the page of the newspaper and took a sip from his orange juice.
Blossom was heading out as Buttercup came down from her room. She was holding the pick nick basket in one hand as she opened the back door. "Good morning Buttercup, could you see if Bubbles woke up already? I wouldn't like it if she missed breakfast and I have to go."
Buttercup looked at Blossom, "Ah, going out with 'you know who'?" She said loud enough for Blossom to hear, but low enough so Prof. Utonium wouldn't hear her.
"Buttercup! Please!" Said Blossom blushing furiously.
"Heh heh heh ... don't worry sis, Bubbles has been up for the last half hour. She's still deciding what to wear." Replied Buttercup.
"Oh, I see. Well, good bye, I'll be back by noon." Said Blossom out loud, and closed the door behind her.
Buttercup sat down to eat her breakfast. She was supposed to meet Axel at the movie theater this afternoon. They were going to see that new Stalone movie that everyone was talking about.
Buttercup blushed as she remembered Axel, she could hardly wait for it to be afternoon.
Upstairs, in Bubbles room.
Bubbles, clad only in her light blue nightgown, was going through her HUGE closet for the seventh time that morning. She still couldn't decide what to wear. Tom was going to come over today to see her, and she wanted to look her best.
++++++++++++++++++++++
Far, very far away from Townsville. Inside Mojo's secret lab inside the mountains.
Mojo smiled as he walked down the long corridors of his huge laboratory.
His evil plan was working perfectly.
Under the fake names of Benjamin, Axel and Tom. Brick, Butch and Boomer, the Rowdyruff Boys, had charmed the Powerpuff Girls completely. As the days passed by, they were thinking more and more about their new boyfriends, and less and less about anything else.
When they had asked why they had never seen them before, Brick, Butch and Boomer would answer what they were told to. They went to a different high school, and so they have never bumped into each other before.
Yes. The time was perfect, the three annoying super girls had their guard down. It was time to take the final step of his master plan ... the destruction of the Powerpuff girls!
Mojo Jojo reached a huge metal door, locked by a computer lock. He punched in a code, and the door opened.
Inside the room were the three stasis capsules where the three Rowdyruff Boys stayed while they weren't out doing what Mojo told them to. Again, a deep fog came out of the three capsules as they opened.
"Wake up, the time has come for us to take the final action against the Powerpuff Girls." Said Mojo as the three teenage boys woke up.
They were dressed in one of the many clothing that they have bought through the week.
Brick was wearing a white T-shirt with a red horizontal stripe in the middle, black cloth pants and white tennis shoes. On his head he wore a Boston Red Soxs baseball cap.
Butch had a football shirt of the Green Bay Packers with the number 4 on the front and back, he also wore green pants and black Reebok running shoes.
Boomer was wearing a light blue button up shirt with the last button left undone, blue jeans and white tennis shoes.
"Hum? What day is it?" Asked Brick as he stepped out of the capsule.
"Saturday," responded Mojo Jojo, "I woke you because you told the Powerpuff girls that you were going to meet with them today."
"Oh, yeah, that's right." Said Brick, "Well, we better get going. Blossom and I are going to the park today."
"Yeah, I'm taking Buttercup to watch a movie, it's supposed to be really cool. It has everything we both like, action, explosions and a lot of machine guns!" Added Butch.
Boomer just nodded, he too was looking forward to spending the whole day with Bubbles.
Mojo looked at them suspiciously, it almost sounded like they were enjoying spending time with the Powerpuff Girls ... Nah, he was just imagining things. Besides, the three super heroines were going to be destroyed today.
"I'm glad that you are looking forwards for today's activities, because today you three are going to do the final step of my master and most evil plan." Said Mojo Jojo to the three super teenage boys, as he stepped over to a control board nearby.
Brick, Butch and Boomer looked at each other, blinked a few times, then looked at Mojo.
"What do you mean dad?" Asked Brick.
"Simple," replied Mojo as he pressed a few buttons on the control board. "I have seen the Powerpuff Girls' behavior while they are around you. They seem to be completely obvious to the world! Their guard is completely down, and you are going to take advantage of that. Today, at your respective 'dates' you will wait for the right moment, and destroy them when they are least expecting it. It cannot fail. HA HA HA HA HA!" As Mojo Jojo laughed, the roof started to open after he had typed in the code on the control board.
Brick, Butch and Boomer heard what Mojo Jojo said. And for some reason it made them feel quite uncomfortable ... but why? The Powerpuff Girls were their enemies! That was the reason why they were doing all this in the first place.
Then why did they still feel uncomfortable with the idea of destroying them?
Mojo Jojo, seeing that the Rowdyruff boys were still there, looked at them angrily. "Well! What are you waiting for! Leave already!"
"Yes, yes dad. Right away." Responded Brick, he turned to look at Boomer and Butch. "Let's go guys."
Boomer and Butch nodded in response, and the three of them flew out trough the open roof, heading straight to Townsville.
Inside the lab, Mojo Jojo laughed evilly as he imagined how the Powerpuff Girls were going to be destroyed.
*************************
Let's follow Brick, Butch and Boomer for a second.
The three Rowdyruff Boys were flying at medium speed towards Townsville. They had plenty of time, and at this speed they were going to reach Townsville in an hour, maybe less.
The three of them looked uneasy as they flew, but none of them spoke up.
Finally it was Boomer who spoke first. "Hum, guys ... Is it just me, or do you actually enjoy spending time with those girls?"
Butch was the one to answer. "It's not just you. I enjoy spending time with Buttercup too ... I don't know what it is, it just feels ... right, you know?"
"Well, my guess is that, since we were meant to be the counterparts of the Powerpuff Gilrs, our interests and personalities are very much like our immediate counterpart." Replied Brick. And it was true too, he actually found that he enjoyed studying chemistry, history and all that stuff. Even more when he was with Blossom.
It was different from the first time that they came to be, back then they just were alive for a few hours before they exploded in their own components, to be rebuilt later by Mojo Jojo.
For the first time in their existence, the three Rowdyruff boys were experiencing life as it was meant to be experienced. Despite Mojo's best efforts for them not to (placing them in a stasis capsule when they weren't doing anything that had something to do with their orders), they were experiencing things that they had never experienced before. And they were enjoying it very much, more than they had enjoyed fighting all those years ago.
"Are you saying that you like spending time with Blossom too?" Asked Boomer.
Brick was quiet for a second, then he sighed and answered, "Yeah."
"So ... hum ... what are we going to do about it?" Asked Butch.
"Nothing ... we do what our dad told us to do. No matter what we think, we have to do what he says ... he made us, we owe him our lives." Replied Brick.
After that, the three boys spent the rest of the trip in silence.
