I don't own the Powerpuff girls or any related characters. I do own Leviathan, Sezu, Kisu, Delu, Glyja, Beelzebub, and the six dark puffs.
The sun slowly rises over the horizon as morning at last comes to the city of Townsville. It's warm rays creep through the window of the Powerpuff Girl's room, gently caressing their innocent, young faces and rousing them from their deep sleep. Almost in unison all three awaken, slowly sitting up in their nice warm bed. They rub their eyes, yawn, stretch, and generally try to wake themselves up completely. Together they shuffle to the bathroom to begin their usual morning routine. When they are finished in the bathroom, they return to their room and dress, now more awake than before. After dressing, the girls head downstairs to eat breakfast, still in silence.
When they sit down at the table with their breakfast the girls continue in silence, not even noticing that they are up long before the Professor. Finally after too long, Bubbles decides to break the eerie silence.
"Blossom…Buttercup…did you have a dream about when we were goddesses?" Blossom and Buttercup stop eating and look at each other. They look at Bubbles and nod.
"Yeah I did. We were all lying in this big field-" begins Blossom
"And it was like totally the coolest place ever-" continues Buttercup
"And Glyja was there and we got into a tickle fight and he said something about 'you have to lose before you can win'…I think" finishes Bubbles. Blossom nods and looks down at her cereal.
"Yeah…that was confusing…what did he mean by that?" Bubbles and Buttercup shrug. Neither of them have the faintest idea either.
"I dunno…maybe it was just too deep for us to understand? Or maybe it didn't mean anything at all or something?" Blossom and Bubbles don't reply to Buttercup, but both are thinking the same thing. The three finish their breakfast in the same silence they began in, before grabbing their backpacks and heading off for school. The clock on the stove that had been blinking 7:30 a.m. suddenly changes, now reading 5:23 a.m.
The girls fly through the fairly dark skies, almost as if in a trance. Before they reach school; however, they hear a cry from the park. They look at each other, then fly off toward the park which still has a few craters from their fight with Glyja just a few days ago. They land in the park and begin looking around for the cry they'd heard. Buttercup stops in front of the swing set, taking a step back. Glyja is sitting on the swing, playing his ocarina. Bubbles and Blossom join Buttercup, staring at Glyja. Before any of them can find their voices, everything around them seems to change…
"Girls? Is something wrong? You just kinda zoned out for a second," chuckles a warm, loving voice. Sezu, Kisu, and Delu shake themselves from their trance-like states and grin at Glyja, all three blushing with slight embarrassment.
"Sorry about that Glyja, you know how much we get into your songs," Glyja grins and hops out of the tree he had been sitting in. He hands Kisu Hyperion, grinning still.
"Well maybe we should get the blood flowin', eh? Come on Kisu, I'll take you on!" Kisu grips Hyperion and grins back at Glyja, before lunging at him. Glyja pulls out Requiem and the two begin their little sparring match. Sezu and Delu sit down on the grass and giggle while they watch Kisu and Glyja play around. Delu leans against Sezu, resting her head on her shoulder. Sezu puts her arm around Delu and hugs her close lovingly.
"So who'd you think'll win?" ask Sezu. Delu smiles and stares at the ground. She touches a spot on the ground and instantly the most beautiful flower imaginable grows from that spot. It looks like a rose, but it has no thorns. Its petals begin light blue in the center, become green halfway, and finally become pink on the tips. Sezu looks down at Delu's creation and smiles. "Hey cool! You haven't made one like that before," Delu blushes just slightly and grins at Sezu.
"Yeah, I felt like making something different this time. And to the other thing, Kisu can beat him if she actually tries. But you know if Glyja starts losing he'll just tickle her until she gives up," Sezu giggles and ruffles Delu's hair.
"I think you've got Glyja confused with you or me dear sister. I don't think he's ever tickled one of us," Delu think about this for a few moments, then blushes and grins when she realizes Sezu is right.
"Oh yeah, I never noticed that. I wonder why though? With those four arms of his he'd be awesome at it!" Sezu giggles again and thinks about this, grinning like Delu after a few moments.
"Yeah he would! It'd be so fun to be tickled by someone with four arms. Though I guess I have been before with all the times you and Kisu have ganged up on me," she giggles again and hugs Delu, "But we've all had our turn with that. It was fun right?" Delu hugs Sezu back.
"Oh yeah! Totally! I just wish Glyja would play those kinds of games with us once in a while." Sezu nods and the two go back to watching Kisu and Glyja fight. Glyja knocks Hyperion away from Kisu, who quickly blasts him with a large fireball. Glyja lies on the ground with his eyes swirling and a goofy look on his face. Kisu giggles nervously and scratches her head.
"Sorry Glyja, I guess I got carried away," Glyja quickly jumps to his feet and tries to recover what little remains of his dignity.
"It's okay Kisu, it's all in good fun right? If it were an actual fight, we both know I wouldn't be in this form and I wouldn't let you catch me off guard like that," Kisu giggles and picks up Hyperion.
"Oh please Glyja. If it was a real fight I'd have vaporized you by now," Glyja grins and puts one of his arms around her shoulders as they walk back to the other two.
"You underestimate me sis," Kisu blows a raspberry at him.
"Nuh uh! 'Sides if it was a real fight Sezu and Delu would be helping me and you KNOW we could easily whoop your hiney together," Glyja smiles and sweatdrops.
"Let's just be glad it's not a real fight," Kisu giggles and plops down on Sezu's lap, making Sezu jump in surprise.
"Didya miss me?" asks Kisu. Sezu grins and tickles her sides making her jump and giggle uncontrollably.
"Of course we missed you Kisu." Delu grins and grabs Kisu's ankle, then starts tickling her foot. Kisu shrieks and laughs, but doesn't struggle or fight to get away from her sisters. Glyja kind of half-grins and returns to his perch in the tree. He takes out his ocarina and begins playing it while Delu and Sezu continue tickling Kisu, who happily remains on Sezu's lap letting her sisters tickle her.
After nearly twenty minutes of this Sezu and Delu stop tickling Kisu. Kisu pouts, but slides off Sezu's lap, cuddling against her side. Sezu hugs Kisu and kisses her on top of her head. Delu cuddles against Sezu's other side and the three lie back in the grass, listening to the amazing music Glyja plays for them. They look around and notice something not quite right…
"Powerpuff Girls? Are you okay? I was just walking through the park and saw you lying her on the ground…is something wrong?" Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup sit up and look around. They are lying in Townsville Park, with a concerned Talking Dog sitting beside them.
"No we're fine…must've just fell asleep or something." The girls stand up and quickly fly off before Talking Dog can resume talking as he is prone to do being that he is a talking dog and if you were a talking dog you'd probably talk a lot too because, well you know dogs have a lot of things on their minds so I suppose a talking dog would be willing to fill you in on everything. As the girls fly back towards school, they pass by the clock tower. When they stop to check it, it reads 7:50 a.m. that gets the girls hurrying back towards school. After the girls have passed, it changes…now reading only 5:54 a.m.
