CHAPTER FOUR:

It has been several days since the girl's talk with the Professor. During that time the news has reported Bunny's accident with the Mayor's bathroom and Bubbles heat vision boo-boo. The tension among the girls is at its worst ever.While they were at school they tried to maintain a sense of civility to each other and to their classmates. Now that they are alone at home, they are letting off steam and are in a foul mood!

"What were you thinking ROOKIE?" Buttercup snapped at Bunny. She mocks Bunny by pursing her lips and making a blowing motion. "Oh, I'll unclog your sink, I'm the Roto Rooter Puff" she mocks in a sing song voice.

Bunny having none of this responds, "Yeah, I'm the rookie. I can make mistakes, it's in my job description. At least I FOLLOW directions, PowerLESS girl! The powerplant is still not totally fixed thanks to YOU!"

While they glare at each other Blossom and Bubbles are also having a go at each other.

"OK, so my heat vision wrecked the Mayor's office! It NEEDED redecorating anyway! At least I didn't nearly cause an international INCIDENT with the Japanese!" Bubbles yelled at Blossom.

Blossom snaps back, "I was only trying to fight STEVE, how was I to know he'd grab the billboards for ear protection?!"

Buttercup hears that comment and puts in her two cents worth, "You're supposed to KNOW everything Leader Girl, you FALLING DOWN ON THE JOB HUH?" A shouting free for all quickly commences among all four puffs!

"POWERPLANT DESTROYER!"

"OFFICE WRECKER!"

"BLOSSOM KILLER"

"PLUMBING POPPER!"

A FIFTH voice rises above the din. It's the Professor who has to shout several times to get attention and end the feuding, "GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS!" He is standing nearby with his hands on his hips red faced with anger. To make matters more interesting there are four costumed women standing behind him.

"Excuse me, but I have never been so mortified in my life. Your behavior is uncalled for. Permit me to introduce some older superpowered women that can help you with your publicity problem."

The girls are all silent as four of the world's most powerful women walk into view. "Girls, please meet Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and Hawkgirl. I called the Mayor who agreed to make some phone calls to other Mayors to make this happen. Please listen to them!"

Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and Hawkgirl walk over to Blossom, Buttercup, Bubbles, and Bunny who are all still in shocked silence!

Finally Blossom speaks, "Um, how long were you here?" she asks Batgirl.

Batgirl, "Long enough Blossom."

Wonder Woman adds, "Just before the Roto Rooter comment."

The girls all realize they have been totally unfair to each other and look rather embarrassed.

Blossom continues, "You're not catching us at our best."

Buttercup mutters, "That much is certain."

Supergirl speaks, "Your dad showed us the newspapers."

Hawkgirl finishes, "It was rather rough wasn't it?"

Wonder Woman speaks, "What you don't realize yet is that for every bad comment..."

Batgirl continues..."there will be more corresponding good comments..."

Supergirl continues..."that will make your heart swell with pride..."

Hawkgirl finishes..."and make it all worth while!"

The girls are about to respond when their attention is focused on a desperate plea for help! Their super hearing has heard a boy crying. "PLEASE HELP ME, THE TUNNEL CAVED IN, HE'S SMOTHERING!" It is several blocks away at a city park.

"Let's go girls!" Blossom commands. Quickly, all four girls flash out the house. Their superpowered guests also follow to watch and maybe lend a hand.
