While in the car, the Utoniums and Miss Haruna talking.
"Mmm. . . wasn't dinner just delightful?" Miss Haruna smiled.

"Yeah, except that the discount costed more than I had expected. . . " The Professor silently grumbled.
"Well, look on the bright side! The food would normally cost much more if it wasn't family night!" Miss Haruna chirped.
the five of them are finally at Miss Haruna's house.

Miss Haruna leads the Professor and the girls to the door of her house.
"Well everyone!" Miss Haruna smiled as she unlocked her door. "We're here!"
The house was very lovely and smelled like fresh spring flowers and pine cones.
"Wow! You really outdid yourself, Miss Haruna!" The Professor commented.
An elder lady comes into the living room.
"Pfft! She only cleaned her bedroom, I had to do the rest of the cleaning in this house!"

Miss Haruna scoffs and rolls her eyes.
"Don't you roll your eyes at me, young lady! I maybe old, but I'm obviously still strong!" She said.
Miss Haruna glares but then smiles.

"Anyways, do you remember my friend and tutor from college, Mr. Utonium? He's going to substitute for me while I'm away visiting my sister and my soon-to-be niece or nephew."
"Yes! I remember how you helped my Granddaughter when she was struggling with Calculus back in College." She said.
"But I still can't believe my other grandbaby is going to give me a great-grandbaby and what's worse is that I won't be able to see either one when the baby is born!"

"Don't you remember, Grandma?" Miss Haruna tells her grandmother. "You agreed to stay here, keep the visitors busy, and tutor Mr. Utonium's girls!"
"Oh yes, where are the lovely little girls?" She gently questioned.
"Right here," Miss Haruna smiled. "Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, this is my grandmother. She's a retired Preschool and Kindergarten teacher, and she will be helping you girls with your studies."
"Nice to meet you Mrs.-"

"Aoiki. Mrs. Aoiki." The Grandmother smiled.
"Or you can call me a Ms. Foxy Grandma!" She laughed and striked a pose.

Miss Haruna falls over in the typical anime fashion. Then she gets up and sweatdrops.

"Anyways, we have only one guest room. Are any of you okay with sleeping in the living room? I have a portable bed or you may sleep on the couch."

"I'll take the living room." The Professor said. "The girls may sleep in the guest's room."
"Speaking of which" Bubbles yawned. "I think I'm going to take a shower and go to sleep."

"I'm with you, Bubbles." Blossom added. "Come along, Buttercup. "
"Hey! I ain't sleepy!" Buttercup said then yawns. "Not. . . sleepy . . . at. . . all!"
Then Buttercup falls over and starts snoring.

The Professor was about to move, but then Miss Haruna steps in.

"I'll carry her to bed" She tells the Professor as she gently picks up Buttercup. "You and the girls must be exhausted from traveling."

"I think she still needs a bath though." Blossom said. "We got sick earlier and fought a monster."
"Very well then, I'll give her a bath."

"There's no need for you to do that, Miss Haruna". Blossom said. "It would be better if Bubbles and I give her one."

"Oh alright then-"

The girls pick up Buttercup and then float. Miss Haruna and her grandmother stare dumbstruck.
"It's just on your right side from the guest's room. . ." She pointed to the bathroom.
"Thank you!" The girls said as they flew off!
"They. . . Can. . . fly. . ." Miss Haruna commented with disbelief.

"Why yes they can! It's one of the side effects from the chemical X!" The Professor responded.

Miss Haruna and Mrs. Aoiki both faint.
"Ladies?" The Professor asked with a concerned look on his face.

Five hours later. . .

Buttercup gets up.
"Hey girls, is it morning yet?"

Blossom and Bubbles are still sleeping.

"GIRLS!"

Blossom and Bubbles instantly wake up.
"Ugh, Buttercup! Don't yell! You'll wake up every one!" Blossom groaned.
"We're still sleepy. . ." Bubbles dozed off back to sleep.

"Oh for the love of Peter the Pumpkin Eater, I just want to know what time it is!"

Blossom with still sleepy eyes gazes at the clock.

"It's ten o'clock P.M. "
"Why can't it be morning already?! Here I am fully awake!" Buttercup stated.
"Well that's what you get when you fall asleep in the middle of the house tour! Now let me and Bubbles sleep!" Blossom groaned as she threw the blanket back on her.

Buttercup rolls her eyes and groans.

"Fine! I'll go and ask Miss Haruna for something to eat then."

As Buttercup goes to the door, she hears The Professor and Miss Haruna laughing.

"Ooh! Remember that time when I accidently mistook you for the creep who was spying on the girls' lockerooms in gym class?"
"Oh how could I forget? You showed off your mad fighting skills and gave me bruises from all your kicking, hitting, and punching." The Professor laughed nervously.
"Hey! I said I was sorry!" Miss Haruna playfully giggled. "Besides, Brooke saved you before you had broken bones. Turns out, the creep was Dick Hardly."

"and then you gave him a beating- must've been at least twenty times worse than how you attacked me. "

"Then the security came in and saved him from death, but then he got expelled." Miss Haruna added. "Serves that stupid jerk right though! Still . . ." Miss Haruna's voice turned sad. "I can't believe he and Brooke are both dead now."

Wha- Who's this "Brooke"?! Buttercup thought.

"Yes. . ."The Professor's face turns sad and voice softened in an agreement.

"Miss Haruna, I-I don't talk to my girls about Brooke because. . ."

Buttercup still stands behind the door and watches closely.

"Well first of all, it pains me to speak about her to the girls. Secondly our last moment together wasn't the best one. We were having an argument about something personal and-thankfully we made up the day she left to study the history of The Alamo. Then the next week, at the hotel she was staying at. . . the disaster happened. Then she. . . you know. . . " His voice trailed off and sounded sad and took a deep breath.
Miss Haruna tried to comfort him, held his hands, and said "I understand you still miss her and love her, but I believe she is smiling down on you and your girls and wants you all to be happy. You two loved each other and you've given all that she desired. "
"Yeah, well. . . I wasn't able to grant her last wish before she died. Well. . . traditionally speaking anyways."
"What wish was that?" Miss Haruna asked.
Don't tell her that she wanted to have kids, yet and the fact that my girls are actually created in a laboratory and not born from Brooke like how most kids are. I still want to keep this façade for a while longer. If I tell Miss Haruna that I made the girls in the lab, she would have another horrible misunderstanding.

"She wanted to visit London, England and study about the history of Big Ben and the person who was involved building Big Ben. We already visited Paris, France for the Eiffel Tower and Amsterdam, Netherlands for The Annex where Anne Frank stayed at."
"Oh yes." Miss Haruna agreed. "She was a historian, wasn't she?"

"Yes. . ."

The Professor Yawns.
"Well, I'd better get to bed now. I've got kids to teach tomorrow, so I need all the energy I can get!"
Buttercup quietly closes the door and goes back to bed.

So the professor really was married? Or was she just a girlfriend of his? Maybe I'll tell Bubbles and Blossom tomorrow. Of course, I wonder if I- we should question more about Brooke.

Buttercup silently thought.
"Alright, See you tomorrow. I don't have to leave until Tuesday. So we can spend time together again for one more day." Miss Haruna tells him. "Oh, and Professor. There's this girl in my class who is bound to drive you crazy. Her name is Serena, and I have to warn you that she's lazy, whiney, blunt and goofs off during class."
"Miss Haruna," The Professor responded. "If I can handle my super heroic girls, then I'm sure I can handle Miss Serena you just mentioned. Good night now."
"Good night." Miss Haruna responded.
