Narrator: The City of Townsville, 1 year later.

"The Mayor of Townsville".
Mayor looks worried "They're at it again?" he walks over and looks out the window.
"The Feud of Townsville":
Rapid Scenes, getting more rapid each time.
Him appears surfing on a giant tidal wave which has appeared in the middle of dry land. "I'll get you Mojo"
Mojo is inside a giant robot, waving his fist at Him "No, you will not get me. It is I who will get you. When someone is gotten, that someone will be you....
The wave crashes into the robot
water everywhere
then the robot is still standing and shooting at a fleeing Him.
"Muhahahah! I win again!" Brags Mojo
A Group of Citizens suddenly get red faces and crazed expressions and start charging the observatory, surrounding it and trying to climb up it. A hidden panel opens and sprays the citizens with a gas that puts them to sleep.
A group of evil clowns starts bothering citizens. Droids come out from the observatory and get into a battle.
Shots of Vampires, dark mists, battle tanks, buildings getting blown up, etc.
Narrator: "Sheesh! These guys don't even let me finish anymore! It's been a year, haven't we...."
sound of papers shuffling.
Narrator (timidly) "Oh...right. A year later, but one thing hasn't changed. Townsville's favorite citizens are still...the Powerpuff Girls."

Shot of schoolground.
Narrator can be heard faintly in the background "They got my script wet...hey is this thing still o...."
Bubbles comes walking left, away from school ground. She's no longer dressed in uniform, but wearing regular school clothes. She's a little taller now, making the head a little less disproportionate to the body.
Bubbles looks over the horizon, sighs, and walks back to right toward the schoolground.
Bubbles walks to Blossom, who has similarly grown but doesn't look quite as good in ordinary clothes as they are accenting her red eyes more.
Blossom "What is it this time?
Bubbles "Just a chicken"
Blossom "Bubbles, Did you leave the school ground just to look at a chicken? I thought you said it was Mojo and Him again."
Bubbles "It was!"
Blossom "So what was it this time? balrogs against battle bots?"
Bubbles (sing-songingly) "Your not listening!"
Blossom "Bubbles, this isn't some kind of game. I'm going to have to go look, and if there's not something there your going to be in big trouble!"
Blossom walks over to where Bubbles was looking out
We see a giant chicken wearing a human jacket and cowboy hit getting rammed by a giant radio-controlled car. Mojo can be seen in the background holding the controller.
Blossom "Wow, these guys are getting really desperate..."
Bubbles "I told you!"
Blossom (flabbergasted) "OK Bubbles, you win... School's over, let's just go home..."
Bubbles "Yay!"
The two walk over to the right and get in a big yellow bus.
********************************************************************
Him is in his red room, looking depressed as he holds on to his rubber duck.
"Oh, Mr Peepers. I'm so sad today..."
*squeak squeak*
"Why yes, it is Mojo. I haven't been so embarrassed in hundreds of years..."
*squeak squeak*
"What's that, Mr Peepers, you have good news for me?"
*squeak squeak*
"The calendar...well yes, I do see it has almost been a year now, but I'm really not too happy about that."
*squeak squeak*
"Something else too, Mr. Peepers? What?"
*squeak squeak*
"Really? Has it been a hundred years already? My how time flies..."
Him waves his hand in the air and a magic lamp materializes
"Oh goody! But I was saving it for the girls..."
*squeak squeak*
"Well, yes, I suppose your right. We will just use it on Mojo instead! That is a very good idea! Oh, Mr Peepers, you have made my day! Now all we have to do is find a mortal..."
***********************************************************************
Big yellow bus stops in front of the Utonium house, and lets the two girls off.
The girls walk into the front door.
The living room has been redesigned in the girls two favorite colors, and there's more furniture. Throughout the room there are pictures of the Professor and two girls at theme parks, sporting events, beaches, and other family outings. In the center is one larger photo with all three of the girls and the Professor together.
An ugly little dog jumps around in the room when the girls come in.
"Hello Chloe" Bubbles says, walking by and going into the kitchen where we see the Professor.
"Hello, Professor dad!" Bubbles says, jumping up into his arms when he turns around to look at her.
"Hello, Bubbles..." Professor flashes a smile for an instant, but it quickly is replaced by a more somber look as he sets her back down "You two go get started on your homework now, dinner is almost ready..."
Blossom notices something amiss "Do you need any help in the kitchen?"
Professor turns away quickly "No thank you Blossom."
The two walk out and give each other a look
Bubbles "Did we do something wrong?"
Blossom "I don't think so, but he did seem upset. Well, I'm sure we can get him to talk about it at dinner."
The girls walk into the bedroom, which now is in two colors.
Blossom looks at the calendar, then walks over to it "Wednesday. Time to change the calendar." she states, pulling off a month. One of the days of the new month obviously has some writing in it.
Bubbles sees it and frowns.
Blossom bows her head "Tomorrow..."
************************************************************************
Shot of the inside of the green observatory, which is just like the previous observatory. Mojo is mixing some chemicals
Narrator: Blossom, commander and the leader. Bubbles, she adds the joy and the laughter.. (sound of shuffling papers) Great, now everythings out of order...wait...ah, that's it!"
Mojo rolls his eyes and mumbles.
Narrator clears throat
Mojo taps his foot expectantly...
Narrator: "Next day, inside the green observatory."
Mojo turns back toward his chemicals "Finally..oh yes, how critically important that was...."
Red lights go on and off, and Mojo races away somewhere.
Outside the observatory, an army of tanned warriors wearing Egyptian jackal masks is forming on the horizon.
Close up shot reveals their leader is Princess, but she is dressed more like an Egyptian princess now and is carrying a satchel.
Next shot: Mojo down at the base of the observatory, points some robots over towards them.
Before the two armies meet, Princess pulls the lamp out of the satchel and rubs it.
Out comes an orange genie, who waves his hands at the robots.
The robots all stop in their tracks and fall apart.
Mojo, in surprise, "What? No, it cannot be. It is impossible, and as such cannot occur! Curses...curses!"
The jackal-masked men all give a victory shout. Him's sinister laughter can be heard as well, though he is not present.
**************************************************************************
Shot of a rose coming down on a grave.
Gradually move away until we see it's the Utoniums at Buttercup's site. Another new look for the girls, looking more formal. This makes it easier for Blossom to get by with a red/pink motif.
Professor is obviously much more upset than Bubbles and Blossom now. He stands alone closest to the grave while Bubbles and Blossom are holding hands behind him
Professor: "I'm so sorry girls. If only I had given her more attention..."
Professor (self-loathingly): "Because it also begins with a B, I said...because it also begins with a B."
Bubbles turns to Blossom "He's taking this really hard..."
Blossom thinks it through "Yes, he has been, and he's wrong..."
Blossom runs up ahead to Professor "Dad, you have to stop blaming yourself..."
Professor shakes her off "Honey, I was just saying that I wasn't a very good father for you three back in those days. Maybe if I had been."
Blossom "What? She wouldn't have died? Professor, Buttercup was brave enough to do what had to be done to stop that monster. She didn't know it would mean sacrificing her life, but she probably would have. It wasn't your fault."
Bubbles "You always loved us Professor, Buttercup knew that. We all did."
Professor smiles a little for them "Thank you girls...Girls...could you...could I...I'd just like to have a little time alone with her now. Can you two take care of yourselves for a little while?"
Blossom "Of course." the two girls give him a kiss and start walking toward home.
************************************************************************
Bubbles and Blossom walking home:
Blossom speaks to Bubbles "Do you ever miss it?"
Bubbles "Saving the world? Flying? Well....yes."
Blossom "Me too. I'm worried about dad though, he was great in the beginning when we needed him but recently it's been hurting him even more than us."
Bubbles "He knows we're going to go back someday."
Blossom "Do you think we should? How do we know when we're ready?"
A shadow falls over the girls.
Blossom looks around, and spots "Mojo?!"
Mojo puts his head down and doesn't look at them "Blossom...Bubbles...I am sorry, but that is no longer the question you should ask. For you must be ready, Townsville needs you now."
Bubbles, threateningly "This had better be good, Mojo"
Mojo "As you know, I have been defending Townsville for a year now, that is to say that I have been battling anyone who threatens..."
Blossom and Bubbles stare hotly at him.
Blossom "Last chance, Mojo Jojo."
Mojo chokes it out "AAAGH! There's an evil army invading Townsville and all my equipment fell apart somehow!"
Blossom is skeptical "All your equipment, at the same time?"
Mojo "Yes! Princess has somehow gained control of an entire Egyptian army. When I went out to meet her, my robots fell apart, my chemicals exploded, my vehicles wouldn't start, and my giant robot won't open! I have only myself and a few weapons to fight her with!"
Bubbles "Well...WHY don't you call the Justice Friends or something?"
Mojo "I am sure that the mayor has, but it is too late. The army is here now! Townsville is being invaded!"
Bubbles and Blossom turn from Mojo and look at each other for a long moment.
They begin to look more excited than scared as they converse.
Bubbles "Townsville needs us again."
Blossom "But dad..."
Bubbles "He knew we'd have to go back at any time, even made us bigger outfits we haven't worn yet."
Blossom "I suppose it would be just this one time. Buttercup would want us too!"
Bubbles looks up into the sky excitedly "I'm ready to fly again!"
************************************************************************
Shot of city of Townville being attacked by jackal warriors, asps, etc...
Shot of Princess, who has a very smug look, being carried by her jackal warriors and with her orange genie nearby.
Narrator clears throat.
Narrator "The city of Townsville lies helpless at the hands of Princess' army. With Mojo Jojo defeated, and the Justice Friends nowhere nearby, who can save us? Who can stop Princess before she enslaves us all? It's....The Powerpuff Girls! Go girls, go!"
The girls enter in new uniforms (which look like the old ones) and a sonic boom.
Princess points into the sky at them, looking frightened "What? No! It's not fair! Get them!"
Blossom speaks to Bubbles "Too many for a direct ground assault, and she's probably already gotten to the Mayor by now. Go check it out and meet me back here! Plan 2832-R!
Bubbles "'kay."
Blossom uses her eye beams to dig out a trench around Princess' ground- based army.
She flies over near Princess "Game's over, Princess. You might have gotten past Mojo, but you should have known we would be next!"
Princess waves her fist up at her "This isn't over yet! Not as long as I have the source of my new power!"
Orange genie stands at attention, but rolls his eyes when Princess isn't looking.
************************************************************************
Mayor and Bellum are standing up on a table top as asps strike at them and try to get up the table top.
Mayor "Try to be brave, Ms. Bellum!"
Asp almost gets Mayor, who jumps up into her arms
Bellum "Look, Mayor! It's the girls!"
Bubbles comes flying through the window, blasting the asps with her heat vision. "Hello, Mayor!"
Bubbles flies back out "See you real soon."
Mayor gets back down on the ground "Whew. That's a relief."
Bellum "Because the city's safe now that the girls are back?"
Mayor "City?? I was talking about my pickles." Mayor points over to a corner in the office, where thirty jars have been stacked up.
**************************************************************************** ***
Mages are firing energy bolts at Blossom from behind the trench lines, forcing her to fly a defensive formation as the jackal warriors start trying to cross.
Bubbles appears on the scene on time to see Blossom take a hit and fall to the ground.
Bubbles screams and plows into the mages from the side, plowing them all into the side of a building.
Bubbles goes back to the spot where Blossom fell, but doesn't find her and desperately calls out "Blossom"
Blossom waves back at her as she throws some jackal men back over to the other side of the trench "Over here...these guys don't hit so hard after all. Let's finish this!
The two girls direct a sonic screaming attack at the army, who hold their ears and begin to fall over.
As her parts of her army fall unconscious Princess lifts the lamp into the air, rubs it, and says something. The genie strains to hear her, but can't.
Princess and the rest of the army fall, leaving the orange genie alone.
The girls stop screaming.
Blossom "Allright, It's just the orange genie now. Careful, we've never fought one of these before..."
The two take to the air and get into a formation
Orange Genie turns and looks at the girls. He speaks in a very low bass "Little-cute mortal flying girls, no more with the fighting and the flying and the punching and the screaming! It's hurting!"
Bubbles "Wha?"
Orange Genie "I SAID little-cute mortal flying girls, no more with the...."
Blossom "You don't want a fight?"
Orange Genie rolls his eyes "little mortal flying girls must be dense! Of course I don't want to fight, why else would I say dense little-cute mortal flying girls..."
Blossom "Save it! We understand- but why did you help Princess?"
Orange Genie "That's what I do! I'm a genie person! Even the pampered selfish snobbish golden little princess girl knew that one!"
Bubbles "Um...that was Princess, and that's Blossom, and I'm Bubbles."
Orange Genie "Whew. Thank you nice Bubbles mortal girl, I was beginning to think that the machine-dependent numerous mortal persons didn't have names anymore! Genie person only comes back every hundred years!"
Blossom "Come back? Why?"
Orange Genie "Have to grant the wishes before can go home! It's Genie job, it's what Genie do! Crab-handed moody spooky guy got my lamp last time and gave me to Princess mortal!"
Bubbles "That must have been Him!"
Orange Genie "Why does Bubbles girl call him that Him name? His name is..."
Bubbles and Blossom together "Shhhh...don't say it."
Orange Genie blinks at them "OK then...well?"
Blossom "Well, I guess since Princess is gone you can just... leave now?"
Orange Genie "Red-eyed big headed little flying Blossom girl isn't listening! Genie must grant three wishes! One wish for the army summoning, second wish for the ruining of the enemy, no third wish!"
Blossom "So that's what happened...Him gave you to Princess to have her defeat Mojo."
Bubbles "Hey, I think we get to make a wish!"
Blossom "We probably shouldn't, in the books I've read, it's too dangerous. You have to be be very exact about how you phrase things and never say I wish until your really sure."
Orange Genie laughs "Annoying mean selfish farmer human mortals got sausages nose! Deserving of it! Stole genie from own child who was rightful finder!"
Bubbles "That's so sad. She found you, but never got her wishes.
Orange Genie "Genie sees that your hearts are good, won't be joking on little flying mortal girls if girls in the wishing for something...and Genie sees in your big heads that you are.
Blossom "Whose?"
Orange Genie smiles "Both...embarrassed red flying Blossom. Wish can be granted if thoughts arose so noble..."
Blossom blushes guiltily "But...I thought there were rules against it."
Bubbles to Blossom "Your thinking about what I'm thinking about?"
Orange Genie "None rules, only limits. One year from dying, child mortal person can be brought back if thoughts arose so noble and they are choosing to come back. But beware mortal flying girls, if not ichoosing, wish wasted..."
**************************************************************************** *******
Screen goes black.
One voice is the only thing we hear, the voice is recognizable as Buttercup's but more adult than childlike.
"Yes. Of course I love it here, it's beautiful. I'm safe here, and loved, and I don't have to pretend like I did before. I miss my sisters and Professor, but when I cried for them you even wiped the tears from my eyes. I never dreamed I would go to a place like this, but you know that- you know everything, don't you? So why do you ask?
(Pause)
"I can go back?"
(pause)
"But if I do....I'll forget all about this place and will have to find the way if I am ever to come back here? Can I see them, please?"
Shot of the girls are standing at the gravesite.
Blossom (nervously) "That Genie was sure glad to be free and free of Him, but I hope we did the right thing. There were so many things that we could have wished- maybe we shouldn't have wished at all."
Bubbles "We did the right thing Blossom, we gave Buttercup the chance to take back what the monster took from her."
Blossom "Do you think she'll come back?"
Bubbles "I hope so..."
Screen goes black.
Buttercup "Give up all of this, risk everything so the ones I love could be happy? Some say you did that..."
Back at the Gravesite
The two girls are sitting now, having waited a long time.
A spinning portal appears...and someone comes out.
Him smiles very evilly: "Well hello girls...are you enjoying the drama of the moment? Oh, I've been watching the whole thing...it couldn't have worked any better if I PLANNED IT. What? Hasn't she come back, Bubbles? Does she not love you anymore? Maybe she blames your for her death, Blossom? "
Both girls are visibly upset by the taunt, but Blossom chokes out an answer "Go away Him, we know what your trying to do. Buttercup would never feel that way about it..."
Him "Oh, of course not Blossom...but there's just a little bit of doubt in your mind now, isn't there? Hmmmm? And if she doesn't come back...how will you ever know for sure? Oh, but I already know what's going to happen now, and its EXACTLY WHAT I WANT."
The girls are frightened speechless. Bubbles cries "Go away, Him! Go away!"
Him disappears very slowly "Why Certainly girls....goodbye...goodbye...goodbye"
Blossom looks at Bubbles..."She's not coming....he got us...he...he had it planned the whole time...it hurts...let's just go home"
They look at one another tearfully and stand up to walk home..
Camera fades back until...
Under where the girls are walking, a flash a white light.
The ground is cracking....Buttercup comes bolting out from the ground screaming "It's got me! Save me! AAAAAHHHHH!"
knowing she's broken out, but not knowing what from, Buttercup goes to the ground and starts hyperventilating."
Bubbles and Blossom "Buttercup!"
Buttercup's vision of the two is blurry "Girls? Is the monster gone?"
As her vision clears up she sees that the girls are taller "You two look different...what happened."
The girls don't answer, but run over to her and embrace her.
Buttercup calls out in pain
Bubbles "What's wrong?"
Buttercup "I feel like..every bone in my body has been broken..what happened?"
The girls step back tenderly.
Blossom can't bring herself to answer the question "It's been a year Buttercup You...you were..."
Buttercup gives her a quizzing look and then glances down the hole she made to see her coffin and the tombstone which had fallen in.
Buttercup falls in horror to her knees screaming.
Blossom and Bubbles come over to her, trying to comfort her.
Bubbles "It's ok now...we found a way to bring you back."
Buttercup "The monster...he grabbed me...was crushing me...so dark...so much pain"
Blossom "We got him Buttercup, he's gone. We just didn't get him in time to save you. I'm sorry. "
Buttercup is still cowering on her knees, hiding behind her hands. "Your taller...how long has it been?"
Blossom "One full year today."
Buttercup turns around and sits on the ground, staring at the city.
Blossom "It's OK, Buttercup...we just have a new teacher now, but everything's the same. "
Bubbles is mortified at Blossom analysis and speaks out "No it isn't, Blossom! It's all different now, it will never be the same."
Blossom looks away "Your right."
Bubbles holds on to Buttercup from behind and talks in her ear "Mostly, it's better. Professor wants us to call him dad now, and he takes us everywhere. We don't just fight crime all the time anymore, the city treats us better, and we got new clothes. Everybody misses you alot...dad must have spent three hours here today with you...Mojo felt so bad he painted his observatory green when he rebuilt it."
Buttercup smirks at the thought "Green?....HA!"
Blossom is staring into the distance another way "He said he knew what was going to happen...he said goodbye three times...was he lying?"
Buttercup "What, Blossom?"
Blossom realizes "You've taken a terrible chance coming back."
Bubbles "She did it because she loves us!"
Buttercup grins "What's the matter Blossom, scared? Let them come, we're the Powerpuff Girls."
Blossom smiles a little "Your obstreperous."
Buttercup "What?"
Bubbles "Let's just go home! Wait'll we show dad!"
The girls go flying for home.

Bubbles "He knew we'd have to go back at any time, even made us bigger outfits we haven't worn yet."
Blossom "I suppose it would be just this one time. Buttercup would want us too!"
Bubbles looks up into the sky excitedly "I'm ready to fly again!"
************************************************************************
Shot of city of Townville being attacked by jackal warriors, asps, etc...
Shot of Princess, who has a very smug look, being carried by her jackal warriors and with her orange genie nearby.
Narrator clears throat.
Narrator "The city of Townsville lies helpless at the hands of Princess' army. With Mojo Jojo defeated, and the Justice Friends nowhere nearby, who can save us? Who can stop Princess before she enslaves us all? It's....The Powerpuff Girls! Go girls, go!"
The girls enter in new uniforms (which look like the old ones) and a sonic boom.
Princess points into the sky at them, looking frightened "What? No! It's not fair! Get them!"
Blossom speaks to Bubbles "Too many for a direct ground assault, and she's probably already gotten to the Mayor by now. Go check it out and meet me back here! Plan 2832-R!
Bubbles "'kay."
Blossom uses her eye beams to dig out a trench around Princess' ground- based army.
She flies over near Princess "Game's over, Princess. You might have gotten past Mojo, but you should have known we would be next!"
Princess waves her fist up at her "This isn't over yet! Not as long as I have the source of my new power!"
Orange genie stands at attention, but rolls his eyes when Princess isn't looking.
************************************************************************
Mayor and Bellum are standing up on a table top as asps strike at them and try to get up the table top.
Mayor "Try to be brave, Ms. Bellum!"
Asp almost gets Mayor, who jumps up into her arms
Bellum "Look, Mayor! It's the girls!"
Bubbles comes flying through the window, blasting the asps with her heat vision. "Hello, Mayor!"
Bubbles flies back out "See you real soon."
Mayor gets back down on the ground "Whew. That's a relief."
Bellum "Because the city's safe now that the girls are back?"
Mayor "City?? I was talking about my pickles." Mayor points over to a corner in the office, where thirty jars have been stacked up.
**************************************************************************** ***
Mages are firing energy bolts at Blossom from behind the trench lines, forcing her to fly a defensive formation as the jackal warriors start trying to cross.
Bubbles appears on the scene on time to see Blossom take a hit and fall to the ground.
Bubbles screams and plows into the mages from the side, plowing them all into the side of a building.
Bubbles goes back to the spot where Blossom fell, but doesn't find her and desperately calls out "Blossom"
Blossom waves back at her as she throws some jackal men back over to the other side of the trench "Over here...these guys don't hit so hard after all. Let's finish this!
The two girls direct a sonic screaming attack at the army, who hold their ears and begin to fall over.
As her parts of her army fall unconscious Princess lifts the lamp into the air, rubs it, and says something. The genie strains to hear her, but can't.
Princess and the rest of the army fall, leaving the orange genie alone.
The girls stop screaming.
Blossom "Allright, It's just the orange genie now. Careful, we've never fought one of these before..."
The two take to the air and get into a formation
Orange Genie turns and looks at the girls. He speaks in a very low bass "Little-cute mortal flying girls, no more with the fighting and the flying and the punching and the screaming! It's hurting!"
Bubbles "Wha?"
Orange Genie "I SAID little-cute mortal flying girls, no more with the...."
Blossom "You don't want a fight?"
Orange Genie rolls his eyes "little mortal flying girls must be dense! Of course I don't want to fight, why else would I say dense little-cute mortal flying girls..."
Blossom "Save it! We understand- but why did you help Princess?"
Orange Genie "That's what I do! I'm a genie person! Even the pampered selfish snobbish golden little princess girl knew that one!"
Bubbles "Um...that was Princess, and that's Blossom, and I'm Bubbles."
Orange Genie "Whew. Thank you nice Bubbles mortal girl, I was beginning to think that the machine-dependent numerous mortal persons didn't have names anymore! Genie person only comes back every hundred years!"
Blossom "Come back? Why?"
Orange Genie "Have to grant the wishes before can go home! It's Genie job, it's what Genie do! Crab-handed moody spooky guy got my lamp last time and gave me to Princess mortal!"
Bubbles "That must have been Him!"
Orange Genie "Why does Bubbles girl call him that Him name? His name is..."
Bubbles and Blossom together "Shhhh...don't say it."
Orange Genie blinks at them "OK then...well?"
Blossom "Well, I guess since Princess is gone you can just... leave now?"
Orange Genie "Red-eyed big headed little flying Blossom girl isn't listening! Genie must grant three wishes! One wish for the army summoning, second wish for the ruining of the enemy, no third wish!"
Blossom "So that's what happened...Him gave you to Princess to have her defeat Mojo."
Bubbles "Hey, I think we get to make a wish!"
Blossom "We probably shouldn't, in the books I've read, it's too dangerous. You have to be be very exact about how you phrase things and never say I wish until your really sure."
Orange Genie laughs "Annoying mean selfish farmer human mortals got sausages nose! Deserving of it! Stole genie from own child who was rightful finder!"
Bubbles "That's so sad. She found you, but never got her wishes.
Orange Genie "Genie sees that your hearts are good, won't be joking on little flying mortal girls if girls in the wishing for something...and Genie sees in your big heads that you are.
Blossom "Whose?"
Orange Genie smiles "Both...embarrassed red flying Blossom. Wish can be granted if thoughts arose so noble..."
Blossom blushes guiltily "But...I thought there were rules against it."
Bubbles to Blossom "Your thinking about what I'm thinking about?"
Orange Genie "None rules, only limits. One year from dying, child mortal person can be brought back if thoughts arose so noble and they are choosing to come back. But beware mortal flying girls, if not ichoosing, wish wasted..."
**************************************************************************** *******
Screen goes black.
One voice is the only thing we hear, the voice is recognizable as Buttercup's but more adult than childlike.
"Yes. Of course I love it here, it's beautiful. I'm safe here, and loved, and I don't have to pretend like I did before. I miss my sisters and Professor, but when I cried for them you even wiped the tears from my eyes. I never dreamed I would go to a place like this, but you know that- you know everything, don't you? So why do you ask?
(Pause)
"I can go back?"
(pause)
"But if I do....I'll forget all about this place and will have to find the way if I am ever to come back here? Can I see them, please?"
Shot of the girls are standing at the gravesite.
Blossom (nervously) "That Genie was sure glad to be free and free of Him, but I hope we did the right thing. There were so many things that we could have wished- maybe we shouldn't have wished at all."
Bubbles "We did the right thing Blossom, we gave Buttercup the chance to take back what the monster took from her."
Blossom "Do you think she'll come back?"
Bubbles "I hope so..."
Screen goes black.
Buttercup "Give up all of this, risk everything so the ones I love could be happy? Some say you did that..."
Back at the Gravesite
The two girls are sitting now, having waited a long time.
A spinning portal appears...and someone comes out.
Him smiles very evilly: "Well hello girls...are you enjoying the drama of the moment? Oh, I've been watching the whole thing...it couldn't have worked any better if I PLANNED IT. What? Hasn't she come back, Bubbles? Does she not love you anymore? Maybe she blames your for her death, Blossom? "
Both girls are visibly upset by the taunt, but Blossom chokes out an answer "Go away Him, we know what your trying to do. Buttercup would never feel that way about it..."
Him "Oh, of course not Blossom...but there's just a little bit of doubt in your mind now, isn't there? Hmmmm? And if she doesn't come back...how will you ever know for sure? Oh, but I already know what's going to happen now, and its EXACTLY WHAT I WANT."
The girls are frightened speechless. Bubbles cries "Go away, Him! Go away!"
Him disappears very slowly "Why Certainly girls....goodbye...goodbye...goodbye"
Blossom looks at Bubbles..."She's not coming....he got us...he...he had it planned the whole time...it hurts...let's just go home"
They look at one another tearfully and stand up to walk home..
Camera fades back until...
Under where the girls are walking, a flash a white light.
The ground is cracking....Buttercup comes bolting out from the ground screaming "It's got me! Save me! AAAAAHHHHH!"
knowing she's broken out, but not knowing what from, Buttercup goes to the ground and starts hyperventilating."
Bubbles and Blossom "Buttercup!"
Buttercup's vision of the two is blurry "Girls? Is the monster gone?"
As her vision clears up she sees that the girls are taller "You two look different...what happened."
The girls don't answer, but run over to her and embrace her.
Buttercup calls out in pain
Bubbles "What's wrong?"
Buttercup "I feel like..every bone in my body has been broken..what happened?"
The girls step back tenderly.
Blossom can't bring herself to answer the question "It's been a year Buttercup You...you were..."
Buttercup gives her a quizzing look and then glances down the hole she made to see her coffin and the tombstone which had fallen in.
Buttercup falls in horror to her knees screaming.
Blossom and Bubbles come over to her, trying to comfort her.
Bubbles "It's ok now...we found a way to bring you back."
Buttercup "The monster...he grabbed me...was crushing me...so dark...so much pain"
Blossom "We got him Buttercup, he's gone. We just didn't get him in time to save you. I'm sorry. "
Buttercup is still cowering on her knees, hiding behind her hands. "Your taller...how long has it been?"
Blossom "One full year today."
Buttercup turns around and sits on the ground, staring at the city.
Blossom "It's OK, Buttercup...we just have a new teacher now, but everything's the same. "
Bubbles is mortified at Blossom analysis and speaks out "No it isn't, Blossom! It's all different now, it will never be the same."
Blossom looks away "Your right."
Bubbles holds on to Buttercup from behind and talks in her ear "Mostly, it's better. Professor wants us to call him dad now, and he takes us everywhere. We don't just fight crime all the time anymore, the city treats us better, and we got new clothes. Everybody misses you alot...dad must have spent three hours here today with you...Mojo felt so bad he painted his observatory green when he rebuilt it."
Buttercup smirks at the thought "Green?....HA!"
Blossom is staring into the distance another way "He said he knew what was going to happen...he said goodbye three times...was he lying?"
Buttercup "What, Blossom?"
Blossom realizes "You've taken a terrible chance coming back."
Bubbles "She did it because she loves us!"
Buttercup grins "What's the matter Blossom, scared? Let them come, we're the Powerpuff Girls."
Blossom smiles a little "Your obstreperous."
Buttercup "What?"
Bubbles "Let's just go home! Wait'll we show dad!"
The girls go flying for home.
Shot of the Townsville skyline
Narrator: "And so, the day is saved...thanks to..."
Instead of the ordinary closing screen, the three girls fly across the skyline together in their ordinary formation."
Narrator: "The Powerpuff Girls! Hey look, the rainbow is back!"
