A/N: After this, I'll be replying to reviews via PMs. If you don't sign in, then I guess you'll just have to not get a reply then.

Also, go check out the poll on my profile. Of course you have to sign in to do it, unless you want to sent me a quick IM at IkuniHattori13 on AIM. But vote, why don't ya? This poll determines what story I upload once Cinderella is done!

I don't own the Powerpuff Girls. I wish I did . . .

Summary: After their creation, Professor Utonium decided he didn't want kids. Out in the street and on their own, what will they do when a helping hand leads them to darkness?

Chapter 10

Bubbles blinked twice, trying to clear the dust from her vision. She shook her head to clear it, her pigtails bobbing from side to side. Her wide eyes took in her surroundings. Escalators galore surrounded her, and the blonde got to her feet, twirling around in amazement. There was a hole in the wall where she had crashed, showing the interior of a darkened movie theater. What looked to be an arcade flashed lights over her left shoulder while a casino—an adult arcade—was two floors up and to her right.

"Where have you been all my life?" Bubbles gasped in glee. "I am definitely sharing this with the girls. Blossom would love this!" She gasped again, excitement building up inside of her as her eyes lit upon a familiar store. "Oh my God! A Claires! I haven't seen one since I was ten!" she squeaked. About to dive into the store, only her instincts made her pause before Princess was suddenly in front of her, bits of the ceiling falling around her.

"Take one more look around you, you little slut. It'll be the last mall you ever see!" The redhead lunged at the blonde and the two started to exchange punches. After Princess shot a sharp punch to Bubbles' ribcage, the blonde felt the press of a glass bottle and a plan started to form in her head. Gaining some distance between them, Bubbles fished a glass bottle out and unstoppered it. Princess rushed her in that moment and the blonde's arm streaked forward, splashing the Angel Tears into the redhead's eyes, temporarily blinding her. Princess let out a shriek as her hands scrambled at her eyes to relieve the sudden burning.

Bubbles fled, thankful that Vollum's overactive libido had let her save the Tears for more pressing matters. She flashed through the hole in Princess had created in the ceiling, gaining speed as she neared her daddy's nightclub, shaking plaster from her hair.

A blast hit her in the back and Bubbles turned to face Princess. The redhead was either squinting or glaring at her, and the blonde bet her opponent was trying to do both. The youngest Freyet sister blocked another laser, and Princess was suddenly in her face. Arms and legs came up in rapid succession, blocking and hitting as the two streaked through the sky. As Bubbles started to tire, Princess' attacks seemed to increase in intensity. The redhead hit her with there jabs in the face in rapid succession and a knee was suddenly in the blonde's gut. As Bubbles doubled over, Princess brought her leg up above the blonde's head and brought her heel down. Bubbles went streaking down and caught herself before she could hit ground. With a snarl, she flew back up and sent a blue laser at Princess, chilling the air as it passed by. Princess moved slightly and the laser glanced by her head. The redhead's hair suddenly felt heavy and her eyes dropped in shock.

"You froze my hair! You FROZE my HAIR!" she shrieked, and her eyes burned in fury. With a mighty yell, a golden beam of light appeared in the palms of her hands and struck Bubbles in the chest. The blonde went flying and crashed through the roof of a dance club. Princess could hear the beat pulsing into the air seconds before screams cut the music short.

With wide eyes, Princess gawked at her own destruction, the blonde not getting up. "Oopsie. That was too much," she mumbled in surprise. She flew toward the hole and paused when she glimpsed Buttercup and Blossom at the blonde's side. Taking a deep breath, the power at her fingertips making her hands tingle, she descended elegantly into the club, a sneer twisting her features.

A/N: So, yea. This is short. But here's the battle between Princess and Bubbles. :) Anyway, as stated earlier, there is a poll on my profile. Go there, and go vote. It asks, which story should I do after Cinderella? All of the choices in the poll have little excerpts on my profile, just keep scrolling down until you find them. We already have one vote, and an anonymous vote (because my brother didn't want to get an account but wanted to vote, he just told me over skype. Just so you know, he voted for The Dark Trinity. Now, doesn't that name make you want to go and check it out? :3 ). Start voting, because this poll will close down as soon as Cinderella is finished.

Speaking of Cinderella, there are two more chapters to write out and then the last chapter/epilogue. I would say that's not a lot of time, but seeing as how I don't have a definite updating schedule, I would say you've got a month at most.

I, personally, want to write Time Turners and Hippogriffs next, since it's a drabble series and it'll challenge me to keep each chapter under 100 words. And because each chapter is a drabble, it would get updated faster than other stories, because the entirety of it is already written out, I just need to write the chapters.
