Author's Notes: Writing behind-the-scenes anime crossovers really cuts time for me to write this story. Sorry again for the late update...I should seriously be kicked or something for neglecting this.

Chapter 6

--

"Where...am I?"

Moaning, the pink Powerpuff sat up.

And immediately, she recognized it. She'd infiltrated the area many times before as a younger female, and there was no way she could forget the major battles she'd fought here. The walls were a resplendent white and a clean, starch smell rose from them. Even in Mojo's absence, the area was incredibly well-kept.

"Why...why am I in Mojo Jojo's secret lab?"

"Because you can be, now zip it."

She gasped and turned, only to meet intensely fiery crimson eyes. "Brick?! Why..how...don't..."

"You passed out in the middle of our conversation. I couldn't find where you lived, and so..."

"Um...okay..."

"Professor! Blossom is missing!" Buttercup hollered.

"What?! Of course she's not, she's in the bedroom...yes..." Professor Utonium stared at the empty room, smiling widely. "See, Buttercup? She's right here..."

Bubbles rolled her eyes. Stage One: Denial. She'd seen it too many times. But really, where could Blossom be? Assuming the red headed triplet was able to recall that she had powers, she'd probably be far off from here. But why would Blossom leave in the first place?

Buttercup had the audacity to poke her creator. "Um, Professor? Are you going through denial again, like that time Blossom was hit in the head and forgot everything?"

"Buttercup, he probably is, so he'll tell us that he's not, and therefore we should just go look for Blossom ourselves," Bubbles explained sweetly.

"Alright, but where would she go?"

Bubbles felt a churning in her stomach as she realized she hadn't eaten breakfast yet. And she had a weird craving for sushi. "Japan! Yes, Japan, Blossom's always wanted to go there..."

"Wasn't it China?" Buttercup's eye twitched in confusion. "And note that we can't speak Japanese, Bubbles..."

"Watashi no namae wa Bubbles!" She chirped in response, desperately wanting that sushi. (A/N: Translations are provided at the bottom. x3)

"Um..okay..to Japan then...but don't be separated from me, Bubbles..."

"Mm..how about I teach you some Japanese words and phrases instead? For example, if you see a cute boy, go right up and say, 'Anata ga suki'..."

--

Professor Utonium grinned at the mirror. "Howdy! How are your kids? Blossom is in her bedroom, and Bubbles and Buttercup are not going to Japan on a wild goose chase for their sister! My kids are awesome!" Then he stared at his reflection and started to cry. "Who am I kidding?! My daughter with memory loss is missing and Bubbles and Buttercup are going to Japan - and Buttercup can't speak Japanese!"

--

Buttercup stared at her sister in disgust. "I can't take this anymore! I don't want to learn fluent Japanese! Who cares that 'ookami' means purple and 'murasaki' means wolf?! Can't you just tell me how to say 'Do you speak English'?!"

"Actually, Buttercup, 'ookami' means wolf and 'murasaki' means purple. And no, I can't, because then this fanfiction wouldn't be funny," Bubbles explained.

Watashi no namae wa Bubbles - 'My name is Bubbles'

Anata ga suki - 'I like you'. Simple, but does the trick...

Ookami - 'Wolf'

Murasaki - 'Purple'
