Chapter 3 Subtle changes and Silver necklaces

Mitch barely paid attention as Ms. Keane talked about adding and subtracting numbers.To tell the truth, he already knew these things.Lucky for him, no one asked about his leather gloves and no one saw his girly fingernails.Finally, the bell for recess rang, and Mitch ran out of the door to the playground, getting there before the Powerpuffs and the rest of his class.When Mitch ran outside, his image was a brown and black blur.Needless to say, the others were confused.

"Wow Mitch!!Did you see how fast you went, you were all ZOOM!!!Have you been practicing?" said Bubbles excitedly.Mitch just grinned.

"I didn't practice at all!I must be getting strong like you guys!!" Mitch said with pride.Buttercup huffed angrily.No matter how much she liked Mitch, she was a proud person, and she didn't like her pride and power being challenged.

"Okay Mitch, if you're so 'powerful'. you wouldn't object to a race would ya?Or are you chicken!?" Buttercup said, cawing like a chicken.Mitch's gloved hands curled into fists.He wasn't going to be called chicken, especially by a girl!!

"Okay then!!Where to?"

"We have to run up the slide, jump down, jump on the spinning merry-go-round, jump off it while it's spinning, jump on the monkey bars, and swing on the swings and jump off.First one to finish, and go jump farther on the swings win!!" Buttercup said with a smug grin.

"You are on." Mitch said with a glare.They both stood at the farthest end of the blacktop, each ready to win.Blossom stood beside them with a pink whistle.

"On your mark...get set..." Blossom said.After waiting a few minutes, she gasped loudly and put her whistle in her mouth and blew as hard as she could.

TOOT!!!!!!!!!!

Buttercup ran to the slide and climbed up it easily.She turned around to see how far back Mitch was, only to notice that he was right behind her.Startled, she and Mitch jumped down at the same time, landing on their stomachs, yet not hurt.Mitch glared at Buttercup for a second before running to the merry-go-round, already at a good speed because of their classmates.Buttercup ran too.She was only a few centimeters ahead of him.They jumped on at the same time and glared at each other.Meanwhile, the children were getting tired and the merry-go-round was starting to slow down.

"We need someone else to push this thing!" Elmer panted.

"I'll help you guys." Bubbles said sweetly.She just gave it 1 push and it spinned at a really fast speed.Everything was a blur and the rest of the class felt sick just looking at it.Finally, a green and black blur flew of the spinning wheel, followed by a brown and black blur.Everyone rushed to their fallen classmates and gasped.Buttercup had landed on her back and Mitch landed on top of her, and their lips were locked together.Both of their eyes were wide and blush was shining on their cheeks.They looked like they were frozen.The little Kindergardeners were feeling new emotions, a flutter in their stomachs and a weight on their hearts and minds.Mitch finally realized how beautiful Buttercup's hair was, smooth, silky, and a beautiful shade of black.Her skin was very smooth and soft.Her eyes were a wonderful Jade green.Buttercup looked at Mitch's spiky reddish-brown hair.She noticed that his outfit looked really good on him.The only thing that interrupted them was a familiar beeping sound.Blossom raced off to answer it and zoomed back.

"We have to go!That wolf is attacking stores downtown.It hasn't really bitten anyone yet.Let's go!!" said Blossom anxiously.Blossom and Bubbles raced off.Mitch got off Buttercup as she slowly walked away from him.

"Be careful." Mitch whispered loud enough so that only him and Buttercup heard it.She smiled a bit and flew to her sisters.Ms.Keane yelled that recess was over and for the rest of the school day, Mitch gazed out the window, waiting for the Powerpuffs to come back.


Buttercup caught up to her sisters as the flew to Downtown Townsville.As soon as they landed, the black wolf pounced on them.It didn't make an effort to bite them, it just glared at them beneath it.It seemed to be warning them not to mess with it.It got off them and jumped into the Butchers and gobbled the raw meat.The girls flew in the Butchers after the wolf and the wolf seemed to roll it's blazing red eyes.It ran to them, but Buttercup zapped it with a blast from her eyes.It knocked it to the other end of the Butchers.It lifted it's head weakly, but it was really pissed off.It opened it's mouth and howled, but it wasn't a normal howl.It made the Powerpuff girls slam into the wall.Bubbles attacked with a screech of her own.The wolf and Bubbles were pretty much even in power.While the wolf was focused on Bubbles, Blossom came up behind it and iced it's tail.It yelped loudly, and turned, scratching Blossom's left upper arm.Blossom's arm burned as if someone dumped alchohol and hydrogen peroxide on her.She screamed and cradled her burning arm.Buttercup punched the wolf's head.It snapped at Buttercup, but she dodged it.She kicked the wolf twice in the side of the head.She punched at the wolf's head with all her strength.The wolf was finally weak and it ran out the Butchers store.Buttercup tried to follow the wolf, but she lost it.She was about to turn around when she heard someone moaning in the alley.She looked in there and saw Lynn.

"Lynn?What happened?" asked Buttercup.The teenager looked beaten up and was bleeding a bit.She moaned and turned her head, vomiting for a second.

"I was getting some groceries, when I was attacked by the wolf." Lynn said groggily.Suddenly, she fainted.Buttercup caught her before she fell on the ground.She flew back to the Butchers, where Bubbles was comforting Blossom.

"We should take Lynn and Blossom to the Professor.Maybe he can help heal them." Buttercup said, racing home.Bubbles followed after her, carrying the sniffling leader with her.


While Blossom's arm was being treated, Buttercup went into her and her sister's room, looking for some jewelery.She found three silver necklaces.Ohe had a silver green heart shaped charm, another had a silver pink heart shaped charm, and a silver blue heart shaped charm.Buttercup smiled and put the one with a green charm on.She stuffed the other two in her pocket.Suddenly, she heard someone knocking frantically at the front door.She answered it and was pulled in a bear hug by Mitch.

"Thank god you are alive!!" Mitch yelled.Embarassed, he put her down and chuckled nervously."So how did the fight with the wolf go?"

"I totally beat it up.It scratched Blossom though, and it attacked Lynn." Buttercup said.Mitch looked down at Buttercup's necklace.

"Hey, when did you get that?" he asked.

"The Professor gave them to us for our birthday.Tis is the first time I've worn mine, and Blossom andBubbles haven't worn them yet." Buttercup explained.Mitch tried to hold the necklace, but he screamed as soon as he touched it.

"Owowowowowow!!!!!" he yelled, cradling his hand.He had a small burn on his hand exactly where he touched the necklace.

"How did that happen?!" Buttercup said, surprised.Mitch shrugged, still in pain.
