The Powerpuff Boy
Chapter 3
The next morning, Bobby was excited because today was his first day of school. Bobby hopped up and down like a crazy rabbit as the Professor was finishing packing Bobby's lunch bag.
"Slow down, Bobby, before you break something." said the Professor.
"I can't help it, Professor." said Bobby.
"Oh, will you slow down already." said Buttercup.
"Now Buttercup, Bobby is just exited." said the Professor. "You were also impatient on your first day of school." The Professor stuffed the brown bag into a small purple back pack and gave it to Bobby.
"Ready for school, Bobby?" asked Bubbles.
"Sure am." said Bobby putting on his back pack.
"Well have fun now and listen to what the teacher tells you." said the Professor.
"I will." said Bobby. Bobby and his sisters flew out the door leaving a streak in the sky.
In about a minute, they reached Pokey Oaks Kindergarden. Bobby stepped into the classroom after his sisters and was overwhelmed by the collection of kids who were in the classroom. There was activity everywhere as it usually does before class starts. Bobby had never seen so many people his age all in one place. He just had to get in on all the fun but before he could move, he heard an adult walk in. It was Ms. Keene.
"Well, hello there." said Ms. Keene as she noticed Bobby at her feet. "You must be the girls' brother."
"Yep, his name is Bobby." said Bubbles.
"Hello." said Bobby shyly.
"Hello, Bobby, and welcome to our classroom." said Ms. Keene. "I'm your teacher, Ms. Keene, and these are your classmates." Ms. Keene pointed to the students in front of her indicating Bobby's classmates. Ms. Keene stood up and shouted out to the class, "Can I have some quiet, please." The entire class stopped abruptly. "Now class, we have a new student joining us today. Everyone, this is Bobby and he is the Powerpuff Girls' new brother."
"Hello, Bobby, welcome to the class." chorused the students. Bobby's shy nature began to make him feel insecure about everyone staring at him.
"Are you really the girls' brother?" asked Mitch from his chair.
"Why yes I am." answered Bobby from across the room.
"Do you have super powers like the girls?" asked Mary.
"Yes." said Bobby. Bobby levitated off the ground to show everyone his powers. There were a few "oohs" and "awws" from the class.
"Girls, Bobby, you may take your seats now." said Ms. Keene. "Blossom, get a chair for Bobby. He will be seated with you three." Blossom flew over to a spare chair and lifted it to the table where the girls sat. Bobby sat down right next to Blossom and he sat quietly as Ms. Keene began her lectures.
About an hour into class, there was a buzzing sound as the hotline phone began to ring.
"I'll get it." said Blossom as she flew over to the phone. Bobby watched curiously as Blossom spoke into the phone.
"Yes Mayor." said Blossom into the phone. "A bank robbery? We're on our way." Blossom hung up the phone.
"What was that all about?" asked Bobby.
"That was the Mayor, he told us there is a bank robbery down town." said Blossom.
"Great, lets go." said Buttercup.
"Oh boy, my first chance to do something good." said Bobby.
"Actually, I think you should sit this one out." said Blossom.
"Why?" asked Bobby surprised.
"I don't think you're ready yet." said Blossom.
"But we were only four days old when we bagged our first villain." insisted Bubbles. "Besides, how do we know if he can't do it if he hasn't even tried." Blossom wanted to argue more but she knew she was low on time and Bubbles had a very good point.
"Fine." said Blossom. The girls and Bobby flew out the door. Blossom kept at least one eye on Bobby the whole way watching everything he did. The reason why Blossom didn't want her brother to come is because she wasn't sure what Bobby might do if he had a chance to do something evil.
Meanwhile, everyone at the bank stood frozen in fear as six men wearing all black cloths stole the bank's money. Three robbers were quickly loading the van with money as the other three, armed with machine guns, held everyone at bay.
"Hurry it up," said one of the men with the guns, "before those Powerpuff Girls get...." The robber were interrupted when the three girls in question and Bobby flew through the wall.
"Powerpuff Girls." chorused the robbers. The three robbers who had the machine guns began to fire at them. Bobby panicked and held up his arms to protect himself.
"Relax, Bobby." said Buttercup. "Bullets don't hurt us." When Bobby noticed that all the bullets were bouncing off him, he realized that Buttercup was right. The girls few over to the robbers and began attacking them. Bobby followed there example. Although he was a bit timid at first, he managed to quickly get the hang of it and soon, the robbers were dropping like flies.
"That one is escaping." said Bubbles as one robber ran out the front door.
"I'll get him." said Bobby as he flew after the robber. The robber had a good lead enabling him to reach the alley but Bobby was gaining fast on the robber. The robber noticed a dumpster with a bag of saw dust in it. He ran over to the bag, got a handful of saw dust, and threw it at Bobby's face. Bobby shouted out in pain as the saw dust hit is eyes. Bobby quickly wiped the saw dust off of his face and eyes but by the time he could see again, the robber had got away. The girls flew into the alley expecting Bobby to have captured the robber but that wasn't what they saw.
"Bobby, what happened?" demanded Blossom.
"That robber threw some saw dust into my eyes." said Bobby.
"Are you all right?" asked Bubbles.
"Ya, I'm fine." said Bobby.
"How could you have let him get away?" shouted Buttercup.
"I didn't mean to." said Bobby feebly. Buttercup just stared angrily at Bobby while Blossom glared at Bobby suspiciously. Bobby felt uneasy about them staring at him like that so he suggested they go back to school. As they flew, Blossom's thoughts were on Bobby. She didn't believe that it could have been that easy for a robber to escape anyone with their powers. Blossom suspected that Bobby must have deliberately let the robber go either out of sympathy for a criminal or he may have been bargained into doing it. Blossom felt more suspicious of Bobby now and she decided to keep a closer eye on him.
When the four of them got home from school, they told the Professor about the robbery over dinner.
"You should have seen it." said Bubbles as she picked up a slice of pizza. "Bobby did well on his own."
"Ya, until he chased after that one robber down the alley." said Buttercup.
"Oh, what went wrong?" asked the Professor.
"I was chasing one of the robbers down the alley and he found this bag of saw dust lying in a dumpster." said Bobby. "He threw some saw dust in my eyes and I had to get the dust off of me before I could get him but by then, the robber had already escaped."
"Hhmm." said the Professor thoughtfully. "Perhaps you just need more practice. Come down to the lab after dinner, I would like to show you something."
Bobby finished his dinner and flew down into the lab as requested. The Professor and the girls came into the lab and the Professor showed Bobby a second room in the basement. Inside the room was what appeared to be a control room surrounded by computers and several other machines whose function was not apparently obvious to Bobby. There was a large window that enabled someone from the control room to view into a large white room.
"What is this thing?" asked Bobby.
"This is the simulation room." said the Professor. "Here I put the girls through training scenarios which help them improve their abilities. Now you can use it yourself."
"Really, how does it work?" asked Bobby.
"Fly into the simulation room and I will show you." said the Professor. Bobby flew into the white room and the door closed locking Bobby in. The Professor set the danger level to four and the simulation activated.
Bobby found himself hovering over Townsville as the simulation took affect. Bobby was amazed at the simulation because it was so real. Bobby was so impressed by the simulation that he failed to notice the monster heading towards him. Bobby was struck from the sky as a large monster that looked like a dragon appeared out of nowhere. The dragon was covered in red scales and it had large horns. Bobby was surprised by the attack but he recovered quickly. Bobby fired his eye beams but the beams just bounced off of the dragon's tuff scales. The dragon charged forwards but Bobby managed to dodge the thing and as the dragon flew by, Bobby grabbed the dragon by the tail and began to spin around like a top. The dragon was helpless as Bobby spun it around and around. Bobby then let go and the dragon was hurled right into a building which crumbled into pieces upon impact. As the dragon lay motionless, the simulation turned off.
"That was very good, Bobby." complemented the Professor as Bobby flew out of the simulation.
"You really think so?" asked Bobby.
"You bet." said the Professor. "Want to try some more simulations." Bobby nodded his head. The Professor put Bobby through some more simulations and Bobby spent the entire evening training. Bubbles stayed to watch Bobby's progress but Blossom and Buttercup left still mad with Bobby about his failure today.
