A/N: Thanks to random people. And the answer to "whose point of view is this" from Chapter Two is...Boomer! If you couldn't guess.

Drei...zwei...eins! (3 2 1 in German)


Part One: Girls

Buttercup

I stare down the girl in front of me. Her grass-green eyes flash and meet my emerald ones. Her black hair blows in front of her face. She is giving me the Death Glare. Can't say I blame her. I can be pretty horrible.

I smirk cockily at her. Her thirteen-year-old face contorts and she releases a cry of frustration. Not even she, the strongest, toughest Powerpuff Girl, can get through to me. After all, I'm the strongest and toughest of my brothers.

Speaking of my brothers, they're both fighting the other two girls. My counterpart and I are the only ones delaying.

Without warning, the girl claps her small hands together. When I say small, I mean small. She may be the toughest, but she's the littlest of her sisters. A beam of light rushes forth from her palms. I just barely dodge it. Shoot, she's fast! I launch an energy beam of my own. She flies upward to avoid my attack.

I zoom up to meet her. I can't help but grin. My red-haired brother once said that I was the most elusive, cunning, and absolutely infuriating of us. My nickname should be Ivan the Terrible, like the Russian guy.

She manages to tackle me and pin me to the ground. I muster up all my strength and reverse the position. I grab a lock of her ebony tresses and tug on it. She growls angrily and rolls me over. She's on top of me again.

I'm suddenly distracted by the way her hair is blowing. How her ivory brow is furrowed. The depth of her eyes. I feel a pang in my chest. Wow. Love really does hurt.

I gaze up at her in bewilderment and shock.

"Dang, Buttercup!"


Whew. Anyone else sweating after that?

And that's all of Part One. I'm ready to start Part Two, but I'll only do so if you review.
