A/N: Hello again this is my final chapter for this story. It is simply to display people's reactions to the events of previous chapters. However some facts may have been held back from some people.
A Way to Say Good-Bye
Epilogue: The Next Day
"This is Chet Ubetcha with a special morning report from the city of Townsville. Devastating reports came in this morning stating the Powerpuff had died. Police had found them on opposite sides of the city all looking as if they had been murdered. The news is even more upsetting when it turns out that Bea, daughter of the Powerpuff girl Bubbles and the Rowdyruff Boy Boomer, had also been killed alongside her mother. Boomer has yet to have been reached for comment. Police have not released any autopsies on what could have killed the girls, but I think I stand for everyone watching that those who killed these heroic teenagers need to pay.
"The Mayor of Townsville, Sara Bellum, had this to say."
"It is quite tragic that this event has befallen our great city, I just encourage our citizens to try and return to their normal lives. The death of the Powerpuff girls is a disastrous thing to have happened and we will all try to keep them and their families in our hearts and prayers. We will use our greatest efforts to right this injustice that has befallen us. Believe me when I say that the committers of this crime will pay for their actions. Thank you, no further comment."
"That was Mayor Bellum from Townsville. Some rumors have been brought up already concerning the deaths of the girls and that their deaths would be attributed to suicide rather than murder. I just have to say that if you believe that, then you need to take a one way trip to the loony bin. We will have more reports on the subject as they come forward."
Two days later
The mayor's office
"Mayor Bellum we can't just keep the girl's suicide a secret forever. People will find out eventually. The letters will get out."
"That may be true Agent Black, but for now we need to keep this under wraps for as long as possible. Do you have any idea how devastating and depressing it would be to the general public if they found out that not only are their heroes dead, but they themselves were the culprit. Not to mention the included rap sheet that would be accredited to them. I mean we've got murder, accessory to murder, illegal drugs, drinking under-age, making fake I.D. cards, self mutilation, my god. If the public saw what the girls had become, the city spirit would just be gone. Havoc would befall the entire city. At least with the public thinking that they were killed, then they will be thought of as heroes. However, another issue is to deal with a memorial."
"Why is that a problem Ma'am?" Agent White said.
"If we were to put up a memorial and the truth ever did get out, then it would be like we were honoring them as criminals. But if we don't then people will get suspicious of why there is no memorial."
"Ma'am, I think the easiest way to get over this problem is to wait and eventually tell the truth about them, act like we just found out, and then make a memorial for them for their actions before they became criminals." Said Black
"That may just be the solution we need. However, I just wouldn't feel right. I think we need to at least discuss this with Professor Utonium and his wife first. That way they can be part of this discussion to.
The Next Day
The Mayor's Office
"Mayor Bellum, do you fully understand what you're asking us to do?" asked Prof. Utonium
"Yes I do sir, I know that you've read the letters yourself, and I know you know the situation. I realize that both you and your wife have been through a lot and this is not a very good time to be asking, but this is an important issue that only you can fairly solve."
"You're asking me to decide whether or not to reveal the secret lives of my daughters, to defamate their character and just about ruin the spirit of this entire city. My daughters just died, it is just too soon. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry to put you through this, and I'm really sorry about your loss, but this is a serious situation. I mean, I care about those girls almost as much as you do, so I can understand a little of what you're going through. But-"
"You have no idea what I'm going through. If you did, you wouldn't have even brought me here to ask this. You would have already known my answer as a parent. I think you brought me here to convince me why not giving them a memorial is a good idea. I know it's not about money, it's about city spirit. But these are my daughters you know I'm going to say yes, build it. Whether you do it or not is really up to you. And that's all I have to say. Good-bye."
"But Professor-"
"I said good-bye"
Later That Day
"So what are we going to do now ma'am?" Agent Black asked
"I know that it will be hard for everyone to get past this. And I know that it will be hard for the Utonium family as well. I think the best thing for everyone is if we tell the truth and hope for the best."
"But ma'am, this could cause a serious backlash on your administration, possibly alienating some people from helping you, maybe even cause a serious issue with the police department. Do you realize how much the crime rate could rise because of this?" Agent White replied
"The crime will rise regardless; we'll deal with that when it comes. I believe we only have one solution. We just need the family's approval; otherwise everything will just go bad for everyone involved, especially the Utonium family. Get it done ASAP."
"Yes ma'am." Said the agents
One Month later
"This is Chet Ubetcha with a special report, Honoring The PowerPuff Girls. We bring you now live to a special speech from the mayor of Townsville, Sara Bellum."
"Hello city of Townsville, today we will reveal our memorial to the Powerpuff Girls. However, first I need to divulge of something first. There have been rumors pertaining to the suicide girls rather than murder. It is sad to say that those rumors are absolutely true. There were many sad circumstances and many bad things happened to the girls and they felt it was the correct thing to do. While suicide is never the answer, it still doesn't mean that it's not sad for that person just because they made a wrong decision. This memorial represents all the things we loved about the girls, while also trying to get past the things they did wrong. I hope that this memorial will help people coping with depression and thoughts of suicide. I also take this day to announce the opening of the Utonium/Keane Revival of Happiness Charity fighting for suicide prevention. The charity will open a youth center and after school activity program with fully certified therapists and child psychologists to help all children.
"And now for the unveiling."
The maytor talked for almost an hour in honor of the girls. When it was all over, every citizen of townsville instead of falling apart and feeling hopeless like the mayor feared, they felt inspired and prideful at the mayor's words. They banded together in honor of the girls to keep the city safe.
The End
