Narrator: The City of Townsville...a busy little city, fresh and full of life. Now is the time
when Townsville's well-rested citizens begin their day feeling fresh and energetic. Ah, the
wonders of a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, it seems at least one of Townsville's citizens
is not quite as fresh and energetic. In fact, he seems to be quite the opposite and very
cranky.
---------------------
Mojo paced along the length of his bedroom like a caged tiger, occasionally scowling at the
sleeping form in his open sock drawer. He looked as though he hadn't managed to get back to
sleep. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked extremely agitated. He stopped to
glare at the digital clock on his night table. Almost eight. Soon he could get rid of the thing
and get his well-deserved rest. He picked up the sleeping infant, wrapped her in the bundle of
cloth, and set off for the Townsville Orphanage.
---------------------
Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup zoomed through the skies on their Saturday morning patrol, ever
watchful for signs of crime. "This is boring!" Buttercup complained. "We've been out here
for half an hour and there hasn't been a single bad guy for me to pound!" she huffed.
"Now, Buttercup, isn't that supposed to be a good thing?" offered Blossom.
"No." Buttercup growled.
"Ok, ok, fine. If you really need to beat something up, you can have a round in the danger grid
when we get back home, okay?"
"Fine!" huffed Buttercup and she stared down at the street below.
---------------------
"WHAT?!" shrieked Mojo.
"I said we only take HUMAN orphans." replied the secratary calmly, "I'm sorry, sir, but we
can't take her. Why don't you try the zoo? I'm sure they'll give her a nice home." she offered.
Mojo scowled at her dangerously, clenching his fists in barely controlled anger.
"But," she continued. "If you want to adopt her, I *can* help you there." This seemed to do
little to brighten Mojo's mood. He scooped the child up and stormed out of the orphanage,
pushing people out of his way. He walked down the sidewalk and scowled darkly ahead of him,
growling and pushing people away when they got too close until, eventually, everyone he passed
made a wide detour around him.
---------------------
The Powerpuff Girls were nearing the end of their patrol and were about to turn around to go
home when Bubbles spotted something. "What's that?" she asked, pointing to something on the
street below.
"It looks like Mojo Jojo." replied Blossom.
"Alright! I bet he's up to no good. Let's go down there and kick his tail!" grinned Buttercup.
"No, Buttercup! We don't know if he's done anything wrong!" Blossom said, but Buttercup was
already zooming down to stop him. "Buttercup!! Ohh!! Bubbles, come on. We've gotta stop her
before she does something WE'LL regret." she said, grabbing Bubbles' arm and zooming after
their sister.
Buttercup streaked towards Mojo Jojo and landed a punch square in his jaw before he even knew
what hit him. Mojo went down hard, the baby clutched tightly in his arms, almost instinctively.
Mojo sat up and rubbed his jaw tenderly. "What the--YOU!! What do YOU want?" he asked when he
spotted Buttercup. He pushed himself back to his feet and glared menacingly at her; He was in
no mood to deal with them right now.
"I know you're up to something, Mojerk!" she growled. By now Blossom and Bubbles had arrived,
Blossom staring scoldingly at her and Bubbles curiously eyeing the bundle clutched in Mojo's
arms. "What's that?" she asked.
"None of your business!!" he growled and pulled it out of view, glaring coldly at them.
"It looked like a little baby." she said and flew around him, trying to get a better look. "It
is!" she squealed and rubbed the baby's head. "Isn't she cute?" she cooed, looking up at Mojo.
"No, she is not! Now, go away!" he snarled, pushing Bubbles away.
"I knew you were evil, Mojo, but kidnapping little babies? Now, that's low..." Buttercup
muttered, shaking her head in disgust. "Now, give her to us!" she yelled, grabbing at her.
"NO!! I did not kidnap her!! She was given to me!!" he shouted and pulled her away from
Buttercup's grasp, clutching her defensively.
"Wait, Buttercup! What do you mean, Mojo?" she asked, turning to him.
"Sh-she was...left on my doorstep last night and I--I'm....", he paused for a moment, thinking,
"..adopting...her..." he said slowly, some of the anger fading as he thought over why he said
this.
"You mean, legally?" asked Bubbles. Mojo nodded numbly as he stared at the tiny creature held
tightly in his arms.
"Oh..." Buttercup said simply. "But..why?" she asked, confused.
"Be...Because!! Now, if you don't mind, I have adoption papers to sign!" he huffed and turned
around, heading back to the orphanage.
"What was that all about?" Blossom asked, staring after him. "I dunno know...hmph. But can you
believe that? Mojo Jojo; A father? Yeah, right. He's probably just using her for his latest
scheme." Buttercup muttered. "I think it's sweet that he's adopting her. Maybe he's changed?"
Bubbles said. "Don't count on it." Buttercup grumbled.
"Come on, let's go home. We can check up on him later. Okay, Buttercup?" Blossom said, seeing
the look on Buttercup's face.
"Hmph..fine!" she huffed, staring after Mojo angrily before heading back home.
