Her head was pounding as she slowly regained consciousness, everything was black due to her eyes being closed, trying to stop the dizziness whirling around her head so she wouldn't have double vision nor collapse because of her. Her ears rung a bit as she rubbed her aching head.
Whatever had hit her had really packed a wallop, she will admit.
As she felt the cold tile floor, she knew she was on the ground as she was trying to recall what happened that lead to this.
Slowly her foggy memories became clear as she remembered what took place early that same day, she could not say what time due to not knowing how long she was down nor what time it was.
When she realized what the items in the box were she knew who they belonged to as she freaked out, there had to be a mistake! She knew as she checked the address.
It was clearly going to someone else from the Professor, so she could just remail it.
Though she have to wait until tomorrow because the mail already ran that day, much to her dismay but she would have to be patient like always.
Setting the box on the counter that held the sugar, spice, everything nice and chemical X where animals could not reach them, she went about doing her chores hoping to ease her concern.
There were a lot of dishes to be done due to a dinner party that took place last night, but it had to be done.
Due to the dish drainer being full, she would have to dry the remaining dishes with a rag and then put them all away afterward. Including a very big pot that was used for the chilly her neighbor the Milkman Larry brought which she promised to return as soon as it was clean as he could not take it home last night due to needing to go to urgent meeting around that time which could not wait, she was fine with that as she understood.
She had put the leftovers in the freezer so it would last longer and not go bad, she was gonna have beef chilly for weeks, not that she was complaining as she loved chilly (just as long as it wasn't pork nor shrimp both of which she hated and was allergic too).
The counter was cluttered with clean dry dishes by the time she was finished. She then proceeds to put them all away, leaving the pot, which just happened to be right next to the box of ingredients from Professor Utoniam, for last as she would bring the pot back to Larry herself as she knew today was his shift ended early so it would be no trouble to return it.
However just was she was about to reach for the pot in question after she got the dishes done, That was when the craziest thing happened.
The front door unexpectedly opened with a loud 'Slam' causing her to turn around in fright only to see... 3 spider monkeys on a goat came running in here wearing cowboy gear???
Before she could process what she was seeing, the monkeys hoped off the goat letting it run ramped as it 'baaed' in distress as if its rear was in fire knocking into the wall and larger but very durable furniture while the monkeys hopped, screeched, swung and ran like the whole place was a fun house (thankful she still doing some rearranging of the living room so there wasn't anything that that would get knocked over, broken easy nor tossed and then break as nicknacks, lamps and other otherwise breakable stuff was in her room and other rooms use stairs which that and the wooden cabinets, fridge, closet and drawers were always locked when she wasn't in her room and when she didn't need to grab anything to keep them clean and keep any animals from wondering and getting in them).
It was a Chaotic mad house that she barely managed to control. Chasing the animals here and there willy nilly trying to stop them from causing damage, nearly getting rammed, tackled, biten, and out right attacked by these little rascals, Getting wore and stressed out from this whole thing as will as exasperated.
In the midst of the chaos she saw something that horrified her...
The monkeys were messing with the professors ingredients!!
One put in the sugar and spice in the pot before tossing the box and bottles that were nearly empty to the floor and she chased it off by screaming at it scared it (that phase being the result of all the stress and frustration inside from all of this, that and this scare tactic was the only thing she could think of to get all the animals out of her house) as it bolted screeching in fright as it ran out the door as she chased it until it left her house and ran into the woods.
The second monkey when she turned around was dumping the whole 'Everything nice' into the concoction before she screamed at it, resulting in it abandoning the pot and bolted out the door with her chasing it until it was out of the house and in the woods.
The third and final monkey was mixing it with a big wooden spoon (which she forgot to put away) oooing at it before it stopped and grabbed the chemical X. But before it could dump it in, Jane managed to stop it as she grabbed the bottle and basically got into a tug-a-war with the ape as it was surprisingly strong as it screeched in displeasure before, as her anger grew and desperation to stop it before something bad happened increased, She legitimately growled at it before she barked at it like a mad dog and hissed at it hoping that it would be enough to make it let go and run, which thankfully it did as it to ran out of the house and into the woods from her chasing it.
Setting the chemical on the shelve which has her Powerpuff girls fan art pic on it which was by the pot, she went to chase the goat which was eating one of the couch cushions before she chased it off too until it ran out of the house and into the woods with the cushion it was eating in its mouth before she slammed the door shut and locked it.
As the madness finally ended she sighed in relief as she panted harder than a dog.
That was too close for comfort She thought as she looked at the state of her house, for the most part the walls suffered more as there were dents in them, and some lower cabinets some doors had some cracks both of which could be easily repaired, nothing needed to be replaced not thrown out thankfully. The fridge and couches and arm chairs survived as well as most of the cushions.
The only thing that she was more worried about was the concoction and mess that the monkeys made in the curiosity, and playfulness and the things that contained most of the ingredients were scattered around the floor as well as the box that had them.
The chemical X was the only thing that was still in one piece and didn't get used.
This was going to be a nightmare to explain, she knew. She'll just have to write a letter of apology to the professor and a letter that explains what happened tomorrow and hope he and his girls would not be mad and arrest her, she didn't want to go to jail anytime soon.
What happened next? That bit was still foggy in her mind.
It was then that she noticed as the ringing stopped that she wasn't alone as she could hear voices, multiple of them, all of them sounding different and as young as children and female around her. All of them sounded concerned, curious and worried.
"Is she okay?"
"I think so."
"Disoriented apparently but stable."
"Looks like she was in a struggle of some kind."
"As well as the rest of the house it seems."
"Looks like a war happened in here, no?"
"A small one but everything else looks alright."
"Wonder what could have caused this?"
"Your guess is as good as mine"
"Hope she's not hurt."
"She looks exhausted, dazed and wore out but otherwise okay as I don't see any injuries on her, thankfully."
"That's good to hear."
"Girls shush, she's walking up from her daze, back up."
Why were there children in her house? She wondered as That was when she started to open her eyes, her head was down, seeing the ground as she vision started to clear up, as her dizziness started to fade. Blinking repeatedly as she tried to clear the fog from her memory.
What happened exactly? She wondered in her mind.
"Are you okay ma'am?" One of the voices asked her.
"Y-y-Yeah, I'm okay." Jane replied as she looked up to face the one speaking to her.
But what she saw made her heart felt like it it skipped a beat, her brain felt like it stopped working and her eyes felt like they would grow until they popped, all of which from pure shock and disbelief.
Girls... The girls... These children... All looked like the Powerpuff girls but with different dress, eye and hair colors and styles!! And there was 13 of them!!
Was she dreaming? She slapped herself hard, nope it wasn't a dream.
How did this happen? What happened? And why do they look familiar?
"Are you okay miss?" The magenta puff asked her, confused by her expression she had like they all had grown a second head.
Finally finding her voice she said with a stutter, "Fi-Fine f-for the m-m-most part."
'Think Janeny think,' She thought to herself, 'How did this happen? Why do they look so very familiar to me?'
She thought for a moment looking back at what happened before her memory got foggy before it finally hit her like a ton of bricks as it all came rushing back to her.
She was still panting from that chaotic fiasco that happened not even five minutes ago, leaning against the counter as she placed a hand on the shelf that had her fan art and The chemical x in question as she was trying to still regain her breath and calm her or worrying thoughts.
What happened next would be comedically to other watching while for her it mortified her, the shelf she had her hand on and leaned on a little to much in question had suddenly broke sending both the picture and the chemical X into the concoction as the glass of the bottle broke from hitting the pots edge hard as it contents spilled into the pot, every drop before the remainder of the bottle fell off the side of it landing on the counter with a 'Clunk'.
"...Oh no...!" She said with dread and horror.
Don't get her wrong she knew the Powerpuff girls were made from this process, but if you add her fan art to it? ... Who knows WHAT will happen!?
Knowing what was going to happen as the concoction started to bubble and boil fast, she ran trying to find cover only to trip over her own two feet as she fall. Getting back up again she hasten to take cover, but it seemed like that delay had slowed her down enough to run out of time, because the next thing she knew it all happened so fast, she was aware of an Explosion, her being sent flying and then hitting her head so hard she lost consciousness for the second time that year.
She didn't know how long she had been knocked out before she woke up.
'Oh... that's what happened... way to go genius now you'll get yourself into bigger trouble for your goof up!' She scolded herself mentally before she signed mentally, 'There's no way to undo what i did, this is my responsibility so i need to accept that I had inadvertently created 13 Powerpuff girls and take care of this, This is literally my mess so i need to clean it up.'
She sighed as she stopped rubbing her head and sat up, sitting in a crossed legged position, regaining her composure as she looked back at the girls as they looked at her curiously, wondering what she will do.
"Sorry about that freak out, I was trying to process what had happened and what's going on." She apologized, offering them a small, kind smile. "Hope I didn't scare you all with that,"
This made them smile back as the Dark red puff said after she and the girls nodded to each other before turning back to her, "Its okay, we understand."
"How long was I knocked out?"
"A good 2 minutes," said the yellow puff, "Its a wonder how you don't have a concussion from hitting your head hard enough to leave a small dent in the wall there."
"I've been told that my head is harder then it looks, still i should see a doctor just in case, better to be safe then sorry."
"I agree Dudette," Said the light pale brown puff, "Don't wanna take chances and all that."
"I have a question," Said the orange puff as she raised her non visible hand up, "What is our names?"
"I was about to ask the same thing." Said the green puff as the other nodded
Jane giggled as she knew they would be asking her that as she remembered, since it was her fan art that was mixed in the pot resulting to this, what their names are as she knew them by heart.
"That's easy," She told them as she pointed at the dark red puff, "Brilee," Then the orange one, "Brin," Then the green one, "Brean," Then the light pale brown one, "Baako," Then the magenta puff, "Beaunka," Next the light paler pink puff, "Beata," Then the dark blue puff, "Bluebell," Then the brown one, "Beronica," Then the grey-blue one, "Benecia," Then the yellow puff, "Bright," Then the Dark navy blue one, "Bonny-lee," then the turquoise one, "Bengal," And then finally the saturated pink puff, "Bambina".
"And as for me," She said as she introduced herself, "I'm Jane Palette."
