Rik sighed. It had been too long since he'd slept in a bed. Or even a comfortable couch like this one. He buried his head a little deeper into the pillow. This was the life. Those few moments before he was truly awake. He rolled over and slowly opened his eyes. A pair of big blue eyes was barely an inch in front of him.

"Whoa!" Rik fell of the couch in a mound of thrashing covers. He finally managed to untangle himself and stood in front of a giggling Bubbles.

"Don't... do that..." He panted. Bubbles just laughed more. Rik shook his head and yawned deeply.

"Blossom told me to tell you that is was time for breakfast." Bubbles said. "Were having pancakes."

"Good. I'm hungry." He stood and followed Bubbles into the kitchen. Buttercup and the Professor were already at the table. Blossom was putting pancakes on a plate.

"Here you go Bubbles." Blossom said as she gave Bubbles a plate with blueberry pancakes pilled three high.

"Do you like Blueberry or plain Rik?"

"Plain, thank you." Blossom nodded and turned back to the stove.

"What are we gonna do today Professor?" Buttercup asked.

"Well, why don't you show Rik around town?"

"That sounds like fun." Bubbles said.

"Yeah I wouldn't mind that." Rik said. The Girls and Rik finished breakfast quickly, cleaned up and headed out the door.

"Can you fly?" Bubbles asked as she hovered a few feet off the ground.

"Almost. Were headed for the city right?" The girls looked a little confused but nodded, nonetheless. Rik stood there for a moment, walked into the grass bent his knees just slightly and he was launched into the air. The girl smiled and followed him. Rik flew through air calmly the force of his jump carrying him a few hundred feet into the air before he went to the ground.

"So where to first?"

"Well there's the water park, the mall and..."

"Can I buy some new clothes at the mall? These are kinda ragged."

"Sure. It's this way." Blossom said as she pointed at a huge domed building. Rik smiled and he leaped to the top of a sky scraper and ran across the roof and leapt to the next one. Fifteen buildings and a constructions site later he jump off and let gravity take over. He landed and the four of them walked through the parking lot to the building.

"Whoa..." Rik said and let out a low whistle. "This place is enormous."

"Yep. Let's get you some new clothes and the get on with it." Buttercup said nonchalantly. Rik shrugged and they walked into the first clothes store they saw. Rik came out with a few bags and wearing jeans and a sleeveless blue shirt.

"Cool now let's hit that water park." He said with a grin. The girls nodded and started to take off but as soon as they did there was a ring that came from Blossoms back pocket.

"Oh sorry." She said as she pulled pink cell phone from her pocket.

"What's that mayor? A monster destroying Townsville? Near the Sea? We're on it Mayor." She quickly turned it off.

"Let's go girls. Rik you should stay..." Blossom started but he cut her off.

"I'll help. Sounds like fun." He said with a grin. The girls flew off and Rik followed as best he could but before long they were out of sight. Fortunately the giant monster tend to make a lot of noise and are... well, giant.

Buttercup attacked the creature head on, literally. Head butting it a top speed. Blossom and Bubbles slammed into it chest and cut off it's breath. The monster skidded backwards and the girls took a moment to size up their opponent. It looked like a giant gorilla except it had four arms, a tail like a chimpanzee's, and glowing red eyes (Seems that one out of every ten monster has these.)

The Monster breathed heavily for a few moments then stood perfectly still. Out of nowhere Rik jumped from the ground and landed a punch directly in between the beasts eyes. It fell to the ground with a crash and Rik landed on it's chest with a dull thud. All four of the monsters arms were stretched out and it was still.

"He's unconscious," Rik called up to the girls. "Why don't you send him back to Monster Island?" Buttercup obliged beautifully. She picked the monster up and spun around like a discus thrower and sent him flying over the horizon.

"That was impressive." Blossom said to Rik.

"No problem. What's next" He said. The girls spent the rest of the day showing him around Townsville. The only other interruption was an back robbery that the girl wrapped up in a few minutes without incident.

When they got home the Professor was talking on the telephone. Blossom started cooking dinner, while Buttercup and Rik played a fighting game on one of the game systems the girls owned, and Bubbles started working on a painting.

"Hey Rik, how old are you?" The Professor asked from the kitchen.

"Fifteen." Rik answered without thinking. The his eyes shot open, having realized his mistake. Before the Professor could answer the person on the phone Rik was in front of him, had taken the cordless phone and had his hand over the receiver.

"Why?" He said dangerously.

"I'm enrolling you in school. Don't worry I've told them you're parents are a friend of mine and your staying here with us for awhile." Rik sighed and handed back the phone.

"Sorry, Professor. I guess I'm a little paranoid is all." He walked back into the room where Bubbles and Buttercup were looking at him a little strangely.
