Chapter 5: Summer: August 28, 2007
"Why are they so lucky?" Princess whined, "I'm prettier, I'm richer, and I'm better than them!"
"Calm yourself down Princess," her friend, Summer (another snooty rich girl) said. Princess drew a deep breath and sighed.
"They're just the Powerpuffs who cares about them. Of course your prettier, richer, and better than them," Ethan, another one of Princess's friends said. He just moved in from England, and Princess was immediately impressed by it.
"Good. Now you're Princess, queen of the school and soon queen of the world; with me as a pretty and rich princess duh," Summer quickly added, "You get whatever you want, when you want. But you and I both know what to do."
"We gotta do things sneaky," Ethan added. Princess smirked and nodded.
"And I know exactly what to do... So those stupid Puffs won't believe me if I lie to them. And they don't know you two... They think people are kind until proven not to be. Summer, Ethan, I have a brilliant plan..." Princess whispered in a lower voice. "Summer to the Puffs... trick...Ethan to the Ruffs...convince them... It's fool proof!"
::::::
"Isn't this nice?" Bubbles said, looking at her sisters who looked confused.
"It's because we haven't had any sister time together in a while," she explained.
"Yeah we have, we go on triple dates with..." Buttercup mumbled, "which stopped when we haven't seen them the whole summer."
"Bubbles is right, we haven't had any time together, just us sisters."
"And summer has been boring so far... Even this sister time thing is boring me," Buttercup yawned.
Blossom suddenly splashed some pool water at Buttercup.
"How's that for boring?" she laughed. Buttercup gasped and splashed some back at her. Blossom dodged it and the water hit Bubbles. Bubbles squealed and threw a water balloon at Blossom, thinking it was her who splashed the water. They laughed, giggled, squealed, shouted, and especially enjoyed their sister time together. They continued throwing water balloons and splashing water until the Professor called out from inside the house. With their super hearing, they could hear his conversation with a girl from school.
"Yes they're in the pool, its outside through that door," he informed.
"Thanks!" the girl, whoever it was, said as she ran through the door. When she got out there, she saw the Buttercup relaxing nearby the pool, Blossom in the hot tub, and Bubbles lying on a blue inflatable pool bed in the middle of the pool. It looked as if they never had a water fight. It was silent until Buttercup took her sunglasses off and stared at the girl who had just come in.
"And you are?" she said in an unfriendly voice. She looked at the girl up and down. Looks like a snobby little rich girl she thought. She had light brown hair that was curled down a little past her shoulders, she was as tall as they were and skinny, she had on a light purple summer dress with a thick black belt, and she was standing in front of their pool. She cleared her throat and spoke.
"I'm Summer," she grinned.
"Why are you here?" Blossom asked, not moving from her place.
"You guys are dating the Rowdyruff Boys right?" Summer began.
"Yeah..." Bubbles sighed, "But we haven't seen them all summer." Summer smirked then pretended to look worried.
"Well I know what they were doing while they weren't with you," she lied. The Puffs looked at each other with worried faces, just like Summer's. They all got up from their places and walked closer to Summer.
"What were they doing?" Blossom asked.
"What they were doing before," Summer said, in a shaky, 'scared' voice. Their eyes widened as she continued talking.
"Crime," she whimpered, "They've been doing all sorts of criminal-"
"No no. No. Wait." Buttercup interrupted, "No you see, they're good people now so-"
"No, they're not," Summer interrupted with hesitation, "You don't believe me do you?"
"Well I do believe that they aren't criminals anymore," Bubbles assured. Summer shook her head.
"Do you guys have a TV?" she asked.
"Um yeah its in the living room but I don't understand-" Blossom got cut off when Summer started to walk into the living room. By the time the girls got in the living room, Summer was standing in the middle with the TV turned on already.
"Look," she pointed at the screen. The puffs grabbed a towel and sat on the couch. It was the news channel. They listened to the newscaster.
"Looks like the Rowdyruff Boys are at it again," she informed, "Crimes been going on for the past weeks, with the Powerpuffs nowhere to be seen." Bubbles gasped.
"They told us they're done with crime," she whispered. The whole thing got the three to believe it. Summer smiled evilly on the inside, as she saw their reaction. On the screen, you could see dark blue, green, and red flashes going through the town, destroying everything in their path. It was so fast you couldn't even see their bodies, just the trail of light they left behind them; but the Puffs didn't pay attention to that.
"Townsville is now – instead of number 34- is on number 4 of most crime filled cities. Population is going down by the minute, people fearing for their children's lives. This once peaceful town is ruined by the Rowdyruff Boys. One thing we all are asking: Where are the Powerpuff Girls and where have they been this entire time?" Buttercup quickly turned off the TV and sighed.
"They tricked us," Buttercup hissed.
"They tricked all of us," Summer added with the same tone as theirs.
"So all those times when they canceled dates, said they had the cold or flu, or anything, they lied to us," Blossom said, disappointed and sad.
"So what are you guys gonna do?" Summer asked. Blossom's sadness faded away as her anger took place.
"We are going to fight back," Blossom instructed.
"Just like in kindergarten?" Buttercup asked.
"Just like in kindergarten," Blossom repeated with a smirk.
"But I thought we swore to each other not to do that anymore," Bubbles said.
"And what? Let them ruin Townsville?" Summer scolded, then turned soft again, "I get it, I totally understand," she sighed, as she secretly took out her phone and hit record, "Yeah I mean I'll just tell them that you can't fight them because you're out of shape to do crime fighting and you obviously still have feelings for them..."
"No," Buttercup snapped. No one told her that she can't fight; she is the toughest fighter for crying out loud. "We can still fight. And no, I don't have still feelings for Butch." She said unaware of what she just said.
"Yeah forget Brick," Blossom agreed.
"And Boomer," Bubbles added angrily, "They don't matter to us."
"We can still beat them," Buttercup snapped, her anger rising, "I'm still the tough Powerpuff I was before, okay. And you just sit back and watch kick their a-"
"Profanities Buttercup," Blossom carelessly said putting a hand up to stop her, "But she's right. We've beaten them before and we can still take 'em."
"Oh I don't doubt you," Summer said putting her hands up in defense, "A lot of people are just thinking that your love for them, is gonna interfere with your fighting." Bubbles rolled her eyes while Buttercup scoffed and Blossom crossed her arms. Summer hit record on her phone again.
"Again, we don't care about them," Bubbles pointed out with anger. She got herself and calmed down.
"In fact, we can fight them right now."
"Yeah let's go!" They flew out the roof instantly.
Summer was left in the living room. She looked at her phone and replayed what she had recorded. She smirked and laughed.
"My mission is accomplished," Summer laughed as she held her phone, "And send..."

Butch leaned against the side of the door.
"What do you want?" he said to the man standing at their door. The man, who was only inches shorter than Butch, started shaking from fear; but he still stood. Butch got impatient with him when he didn't respond after two minutes.
"I-I'm... I'm Ethan," he stuttered, "Um... I need t-to talk... to uh to you and your br-brothers... please." Butch narrowed his eyes but let him in all the same.
"You are?" Brick said in a disgusted voice, not even looking at Ethan.
"I-I'm E-E..."
"He's Ethan," Butch rudely interrupted, tired of Ethan's stuttering.
"Why are you here?" Boomer asked, taking his eyes off the TV screen.
"The Powerpuff Girls sent me over," Ethan lied. He stopped his stuttering. At that, they all stared at Ethan, waiting for an explanation. They saw him take out his phone and put it back in his pocket.
"Are you gonna tell us why?" Brick barked. Ethan nodded while Butch rolled his eyes.
"They wanted me to say..." He started to stutter again as he saw each of their glares: Brick had a concerned look, Boomer looked worried, and Butch looked annoyed that Ethan wouldn't talk fast enough.
"They... they w-wanna b-br-bre..."
"Spit it out!" Butch demanded.
"Break up with you," Ethan quickly finished. Before he knew it, he was pinned up against the wall by Butch.
"Liar!" Butch roared. He couldn't think of anything else to say but that. They were all so confused.
"I'm not! I promise!" Ethan choked out.
"Buttercup wouldn't do that!" Butch yelled.
"If you let me down, I'll prove it to you." Butch looked at Brick, who nodded to let Ethan down. As soon as he reached the floor, Ethan brushed himself off and took out his phone.
"They told me that if you guys didn't believe them, show you this." Ethan hit play on his phone.
"And no, I don't have feelings for Butch." They heard Buttercup's voice say. Butch's eyes narrowed then lowered to look at the floor.
"Yeah forget Brick." Blossom's voice said. Brick gasped to himself.
"And Boomer" Bubbles' voice yelled, "They don't matter to us."
"Again, we don't care about them."
Those simple words that they just heard, made them want to fall apart.
Wow, that is like a punch in the face, Boomer thought.
Yeah well forget... Blossom Brick thought, knowing he would take it back.
I put all my trust in that girl, I spent most of my time with her, and this is how she repays me? Ahaha. No. No, I will not take this, Butch thought.
When Ethan saw their reaction, he didn't get the joy that Princess said he would; he felt bad for doing this. He still didn't back down and confess that he was lying. But he couldn't. Princess would kill him, send him off to an island so small that he'd have to stand on one toe to stay on it.
The Rowdyruffs didn't – or couldn't- manage to say anything.
"Uh... I have to go now, so I'll be on my way," Ethan said. They didn't care to look at him as he walked out the door. He met up with Summer and Princess, at Princess's nearby mansion.
"Did you do it?" Summer asked as she let him in the mansion.
"Yeah..." Ethan sighed, "But I feel lousy." Summer scoffed.
"I don't care how you feel; c'mon Princess is up in her room." They walked upstairs and walked through a big yellow and pink door.
"So how did it go guys?" Princess immediately asked.
"Great," Summer giggled, "Those stupid Puffs actually believed the tape I showed them." She tossed the tape on the bed. Ethan read the description on it.
"Crime by Rowdyruff Boys... how did you get this? They haven't even done crime sice kinder-"
"Read the date it was recorded, doofus," Princess smiled.
"Uh... April 13, 1997. 1997?Then how did the Puffs not see how young they were in the tape?"
"It didn't show any close-ups," Summer answered, "Plus we blurred the whole thing. You can't see their faces or their bodies; just the light they left behind."
"And how did it go with the Rowdyruff Boys?" Princess asked.
"Perfect, they didn't believe me at first, but when I showed them the recording that the 'Powerpuff Girls' showed me, they were almost close to tears," Ethan said. Princess and Summer laughed.
"Everything is going perfect," Princess sang while clapping her hands.
"But what if they see that Townsville looks perfect as always?" Summer asked.
"I got it covered," Princess smirked, "Well, Daddy has it covered. He has permission to destroy any buildings as long as it isn't historic or still in use. That won't be hard; there are many abandoned buildings and stores all over this town."
::::::::::::::::
"Which way?" Bubbles asked Blossom.
"Their house is in this forest somewhere..." she answered, searching for the house.
"I can't find it!" Buttercup stormed.
"We gotta keep searching. We-" Blossom was interrupted by her phone ringing.
"Blossom speaking, make it fast please."
"Blossom, where are you?" the Professor's voice said, "I'm not going school shopping for you any other day, you three are lucky I'm letting you save your money on things you want, and I pay for school stuff. Be here in five minutes or I'll let you girls pay for school supplies."
"Got it professor, we'll be there in a minute." She hung up.
"Save it girls," she stopped them, "we have to go home. We'll finish the guys off some other time I guess... Let's go."
::::::::::
"I can't believe they'd do that," Brick said.
"I know... But they did," Butch sighed.
"There must be a mistake..." Boomer said with little hope.
"You heard them, Boomer," Butch immediately said, "Let it go guys."
"I'd let it go easily if it were any other girl... But this is the Powerpuffs we're talking about; they wouldn't do anything to hurt us right?" Boomer asked.
"I don't know Boomer, but Butch is right. We have to let it go, no matter how hard it is." The phone suddenly rang out of the silence.
"Hello," Brick said bluntly.
"Hey," an familiar annoying voice said, "Put me on speaker, Brick." He did as the voice said.
"Hey guys," the voice sang, "It's me, Princess!" The three all groaned.
"What do you want?" Brick asked.
"Well I heard about you guys and the Puffs' break up. Bummer huh?" she giggled.
"Whatever," Boomer said, "Is that it?"
"Haha Boomer you are sooo funny. Isn't he funny, Summer? Yeah he is," she laughed. She stopped when she didn't get a response. She cleared her throat.
"Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you guys were okay... Are you okay?" No response again. She checked her phone. They were still on.
"Hello? Anyone home?"
"Look Princess," Butch said, "We're fine. Is that it?" He didn't give her time to reply. "Great. Okay, bye." He hung up before she could protest.
