Papa Jojo

[still earlier that day]
Mojo Jojo, looking far from his usual self, walked through the Townsville Mall with a small
child strapped piggyback-style on his back and a long list in hand. Glancing around nervously,
he slipped into a store entitled "Babies'R'Us". An hour later, Mojo Jojo walked out with
several large bags bearing the "Babies'R'Us" logo and a large box that read 'Do-It-Yourself
Crib Assembly Kit'. Dragging most of the things he bought through Townsville and into the park,
Mojo stormed up the steep stairs leading to his observatory atop the volcano. He kicked the
door open and dragged everything in, not caring much for broken items. Mojo mumbled several
incoherant things under his breath as he carried items one by one into a small room set aside
for the baby.
When he'd finished laboring all the boxes and bags into the room, Mojo dug into the first one
and pulled out stuffed toys of various sorts that he'd collected in the store he'd previously
been to. From another box he pulled out parts to a toy gym he'd also acquired in the larger and
more expensive section of the store. Along with the toy gym he pulled out an instruction manual
the size of a phonebook. Mojo stared surprised at it for a moment, staring down at the 20 parts
before him. He scratched his head then went straight to work.
He finished it nearly 30 minutes later, Moko tugging his fur all the while. She was becoming a
bother so he took her off his back before continuing any further. He started putting together
the crib moments later. " 'Easy instructions' it says," Mojo grumbled, "Even I can't make heads
or tails of this junk." Despite the mess before him, he managed to put together the crib
without further difficulty. He glanced around the room and gave a sigh of relief. "Finally, I
can relax." he grinned.

[present time]
Mojo Jojo re-read his scribbled ideas and grinned maniacally. "Never before have such brilliant
ideas come so easily. Now, I shall destroy the Powerpuff Girls and Townsville will be mine!"
He chuckled evilly and glanced down at the crib where little Moko slept. "And it's all thanks
to my sweet little muse, Moko." he whispered softly, kissing his daughter on the forehead. He
stood up and glanced at the window, where he spotted three shocked faces peering in. He scowled
darkly, stormed over to the window and drew the shades.
Turning to check-up on Moko, Mojo crept out of the room. He chuckled quietly as he marched down
a deep staircase into the whole of his laboratory. Looking over his notes, he pulled a large
switch next to him, turning on several rows of lights hanging from the domed ceiling. He
continued his march past large broken robots from his past. He looked upon them with pity. So
many failures before, so much destruction and beatings on his part, but not any more. Not with
his new ingenius plan. Everything was falling into place like that of a jigsaw puzzle.
------------------
"Did you see THAT?!" shrieked Buttercup. "H-he kissed her! Like Professor does with us!!" she
shouted in disbelief. "Yeah, isn't it sweeet?" cooed Bubbles. "It certainly is...surprising. I
never thought of Mojo as the fatherly type." said Blossom. "If you ask me, I still say he's up
to something. Mojo Jojo would never be that nice unless he has a reason." Buttercup added.
Blossom turned to see the sun setting over the horizon. It was darker where they were, but in
the distance, it glowed a brilliant orange. "We'd better get home soon." Blossom stated. Both
Bubbles and Buttercup nodded in agreement, even though Buttercup still had a scowl on her face.
All three of them flew across the sky once again, towards the rural parts of the city, Pokey
Oaks, where their home resided.
The Powerpuff Girls arrived home awhile later. Inside the Professor greeted them warmly and
sent them off to bed with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He finished up the dishes in the
kitchen which he'd been doing when they arrived. Now he headed upstairs to their bedroom.
Opening the door, all three girls sat on their bed and changed into their nighties. The
Professor smiled warmly and entered to tuck them in. "So, anything else interesting happen
today?" he asked kindly, knowing the answer before they said anything. "Mojo Jojo bought a
whole bunch of baby things today!" Bubbles squealed, "He got a crib, a toy set, a lot of toys
and he kissed his baby too!". The Professor stared blankly for a few moments, registering
everything Bubbles had said. "Ookay," he said finally, "No more sweets before bed, Bubbles."
He chuckled lightly. He tucked the blanket around them, then flicked off the light and left.
