Bubbles and Blossom sit around the living room wishing there was something to do.
"Hey," says Bubbles, "remember that story what's-his-name started? What was it called...? Oh Yeah! 'Built on Sand'!"
"Oh yeah!" exclaims Blossom, "what ever happened to that old thing?"
"I think the author got buried in school stuff and forgot about it," says Bubbles.
"That would make sense," Blossom ponders, "I wonder if he'll ever get back to it..."
In comes the Professor and Buttercup with the mail.
"What cha talking about?" asks Buttercup.
"The story 'Built on Sand' by Thayli," says Blossom.
"Why that old stupid thing?" questions Buttercup.
"What else do we have to talk about, the fact that in a few years one of us will probably try to stand out as an individual and become estranged from the other two?" responds Bubbles.
"Good point," intones Buttercup.
"Well girls, this may not be a completely pointless conversation at all," patronizes the Professor, "we just got a letter from the author who says that he plans to continue the story at some point in the near future, with a few changes to the original plan of course."
"What kind of changes Professor?" asks Blossom.
"Well we can say goodbye to the PG13 rating a lot sooner than planed for one thing."
"Oh"
"He also says he just started to appreciate the use of alternating quotations between two established characters."
"That will probably come in handy."
"Yes, but now he doesn't want to leave those quotations because he's lazy."
"That sounds about right, but how will he finish any author's notes hidden behind thinly veiled, and honestly pathetic sounding, dialog."
"He's not certain, but he's hoping for some sort of 'god in a machine' sty"
Suddenly the Powerpuff alarm went off and they all flew off to save the day. Even the Professor. Because he turned into a duck.
