When they get up to the surface Dexter sees that Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup are beaten up pretty badly. Bubbles has lost one of her hair ties and her light blue shirt was ripped along the side. One of Buttercups sleeves was ripped off at the elbow and her baggy pants had a hole in one of the knees. Blossom's stocking had tears all over them and her bow was burnt. Not to mention that the girls had spots of blood, most of it was from Brick, Butch or Boomer, all over their clothes and small scrapes and cuts all over their exposed skin.
"I'm going to call Dee Dee, see if she can give us a ride." Dexter says as the girls start to yawn from the strain the fight had put on them.
Inside the old green station wagon Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup ended up fallen asleep as Dee Dee drove them home.
"So what happened Dexter?" Dee Dee asks looking at him behind her in the mirror wondering why the girls look the way they do.
When she had arrived Blossom wanted Dexter to ride next to her so Buttercup took the front seat leaving Bubbles to sit on the outside for once and Blossom in the middle.
Dexter looks from Blossom snuggled up against him who he had his arm around to Bubbles resting her head against the window to Buttercup who was slouching in the front passenger seat. "The end of a lot of bad things." He tells his sister as Blossom nuzzles his neck.
The girls were worn out more than they had ever been and it took the last of their energy just to get into their house and into their beds, even with Dexter's help.
"Hey Dexter." Blossom said as he helped her into bed.
"Yes Blossom?" He asks as Buttercup gave up on trying to get into her bed and just pulled her comforter and pillow off and went to sleep on the floor.
"I really do love you." Blossom says closing her eyes.
"And I really love you too Blossom." Dexter says as she fell asleep.
The next day all three of the girls stayed home from school to rest, and on the bus ride to school Dexter wondered if school was even going to be opened after what happened at the pep rally.
'The pep rally seems like it happened a lifetime ago.' He thinks as he looks out the window of the bus not looking forward to a day without his friends and girlfriend.
The whole day Dexter felt like he had a kick me sign on his back. All of the school was in the gym when Morbucks initiated her plan and if whole school didn't know Dexter was involved with Blossom prior to the attack, they did by lunch. Teachers kept asking him to give their thanks to Blossom and her sisters and even some of the kids came up to him.
"Hey. Uh Dexter right?" A blond boy Dexter had never seen before says stopping him in the hallway outside the lunch room.
"Yes? Can I help you?" Dexter asks the boy.
"Hi, so I'm Josh and I, er WE, the other guys and me." Josh says pointing behind himself at a large group of boys. "Well we just want to tell you, I should say ask, if you could pass on our thanks to Blow- Blossom and her sisters. We had no idea that Morbucks was that crazy man." Josh says clearly nervous talking to Dexter.
Dexter was about to ask him why it took Brick, Butch and Boomer attacking the school for them to see that the girls are the good guys, but Agent Honeydew showed up and spoke before Dexter could.
"I'm sure he will pass it on, now Mr. McPherson would you kindly come with me? I need to discuss the homework you turned in yesterday." She says ushering Dexter away from Josh.
"You just saved that boy getting snapped at, all day people who were rude to the girls have been coming up to me wanting to say they were sorry and it is ticking me off. Where were they when Morbucks was working to ruin Blossom and her sister's reputation?" Dexter says when they are out of earshot of Josh.
"I understand Dexter, the social structure of the school just went through a major power shift. Things are going to change, the girls might even take over as the popular ones." Honeydew says as they walk down the hall away from the lunch room.
"You clearly do not know the girls." Dexter says as Honeydew held open a door for him.
Dexter was too focused on his annoyance at the other kids of the school to notice that Honeydew lead him into an empty class room. "So why did you drag me in here? If you're going to try and recruit me again my answer is still no." Dexter says as he watched Honeydew walk over to the teacher's desk where a black leather bag sat.
"I understand that you don't want to join Global Securely Dexter. I just figured you'd like a nice quiet place to eat your lunch, and to give you this." She says as she pulled a manila folder out of the bag and walks it over to him.
Dexter takes the folder curious as to what she could have for him. He opens the folder and inside it are two pieces of paper.
"The first one is your official pardon for all past crimes involving the incident in Nowheresville, and the other is a Nonhuman Resident License for COMPUTER officially classifying her as a living creature and not a simple program. My little way of saying thankyou for your help in stopping HIM." Honeydew says explaining what the papers are.
Dexter didn't really care too much about his record being cleared, but seeing the acknowledgement of COMPUTER being a living creature made him as happy as he was the first time he had kissed Blossom. Seeing someone outside of his sister and Blossom acknowledge the belief that COMPUTER was more than a program was something Dexter never thought he would see.
"I don't know what to say, I could hug you over this Honeydew." Dexter says rereading the Nonhuman Resident License not fully believing that it says COMPUTER McPherson. "But did you have to give her my last name?" he asks looking up at her.
"I needed a last name and technically you are her father, but if she wants to change it she can. And it's best if you don't give me a hug, I am still a TA." Honeydew says seeing the look of happiness on Dexter's face.
"Right, wouldn't want to get you fired from you're not real job." Dexter says as he closed the folder wanting to get it home to show COMPUTER.
"Speaking of which, I need to go take care of a few things." Honeydew says walking back over to her bag. "If the girls are up for it Dexter, I would like to meet up with you four after school again today." She says picking up her bag from the desk.
"I will let them know and they are feeling up for it we will see you at the coffee shop." Dexter says setting his backpack down on a student desk and starts digging out his lunch.
"Thank you Dexter." She says before she left the room.
While Dexter sat in the empty class room eating his lunch he thinks over Honeydew's invitation. "I wonder why she wants to see us, does she think Blossom and her sisters would want to be her friend? Or is there some bad news she needs to tell us." He says to himself as he finishes his lunch.
Dexter did enjoy the short time of solitude he had for lunch, but as soon as the bell rang and he was out in the hallway he was back to being stopped by students in the hall wanting to talk to him.
By the time the school was done for the day he didn't even stop at his locker to put away books he didn't need, he was done dealing with people and he desperately wanted to see Blossom.
Quickly he walked the long and oddly quiet walk back to his neighborhood. "This walk is rather long, I wonder why I never noticed it before?" Dexter asks himself out loud. "Because you've always had someone to talk to Dexter, like you're doing with yourself."
"Hello Dexter, I was expecting to see you today." The Professor says when he opened the door after Dexter had rang the doorbell.
"Hello Sir, are the girls doing ok?" Dexter had hoped that it would have been Blossom to answering the door, so he was a little disappointed when it was The Professor that answerd.
"They are doing ok Dexter. They are a little worn out, but ok." The Professor says quelling Dexter's worries about the girls.
"Would it be ok if I came in and saw them?" Dexter asks wanting to see his girlfriend and her sisters.
"Of course Dexter, they are in the living room." The Professor says standing to the side to let Dexter into the house. "The girls told me about yesterday Dexter and from what they told me, if it wasn't for you my girls might not be here today."
"I didn't do that much sir, in the end it was there fighting and Mandark's spell book that saved the day." Dexter says trying to make it sound like he didn't help that much.
"As someone who claims to be a fan of engineering you must understand that even the smallest part is necessary for the any machine to run properly Dexter. Even if what you did to help was a minor part, you still helped my girls and for that you have my thanks." The Professor says putting his hand on Dexter's shoulder.
Dexter was amazed by how calm The Professor was over his daughters and all the fighting they have done. "If you don't mind me asking sir, how are you so calm about all of this? Your daughters put their lives on the line all the time and the few times I've been with Blossom and watched her fight nearly killed me on the inside." He asks wanting to know The Professors secret to being calm.
"Trust me Dexter, I was not always this calm. When the girls first started fighting I was a mess. Nights were lost worrying about them, I even tried building a giant robot battle mech for them. But in the end I learned that I have to trust the girls not to take on anything they couldn't handle, sure I still worry but I can't keep them lock up away from the world." The Professor says patting Dexter on the shoulder.
The Professors explanation made sense to Dexter and he was going to tell him that he hopes he could become as strong as The Professor but his favorite member of The Powerpuff Girls walked out of the living room dressed in her pink pajamas.
"I thought I heard you Dexter." Blossom says smiling when she sees her boyfriend.
"Hi Blossom." Dexter says just as happy to see her as she was to see him.
"I'll leave you kids alone, I'll be in my lab." The Professor says walking away from his eldest daughter and her boyfriend.
"Ok Professor." Blossom says to her father. "I should say I'm surprised to see you Dexter, but that would imply that I don't know you as well as I do." She says to Dexter when The Professor went through the door to the basement.
"Have I become that predictable?" Dexter asks as he walks over to Blossom.
"No, I just know you would want to see me just as much as I wanted to see you." She says as they hug each other.
After they broke the hug, and shared a quick kiss, Blossom takes Dexter's had and pulls him towards the living room. "My sisters and I are in the living room, we've been camping out in there all day."
"Hi Dexter!" Bubbles says from her spot on the floor wrapped up in her blue comforter.
"Hey." Buttercup says from the couch with her green comforter around herself.
"How are you girls going?" Dexter asks as Blossom sat down on the floor next to Bubbles on top of her pink comforter.
"Were doing fine, we slept till noon and then came down here to watch cartoons." Blossom says pulling Dexter down to the floor wanting him to sit on the floor with her so she could cuddle him.
"Did we miss anything at school?" Bubbles asks as Dexter and Blossom lean against the couch.
As Blossom snuggles up against Dexter and he puts his arm around her he says; "Today was an interesting day. People kept coming up to me wanting to talk about you three, I guess the incident in the gym has become the talk of the school."
"Really? What did they want to talk to you about?" Buttercup asks wanting to know what people wanted to know about her and her sisters.
"Most of them wanted to thank you for over throwing Morbucks basically, some wanted to know what happened after we left but I didn't tell them. I figured that was between us." Dexter says feeling happy to have Blossom in his arms.
"And Agent Honeydew." Bubbles says adding to the list of people that knew of what happened during the fight.
"Oh speaking of her, she wants to meet up at the Starbucks again today." Dexter says remembering Honeydews request.
"I guess we could, we should probably get out and do something after being couch potatoes all day." Blossom says thinking her and her sisters shouldn't spend all day inside.
Blossom and her sisters needed to take a shower and change out of their pajamas before they went to meet Agent Honeydew. Wanting to spend some alone time with Dexter, Blossom lets her sisters use the shower first while she stayed in the living room with Dexter.
"I really missed you today Blossom." Dexter says pulling Blossom close to himself.
"I missed you too Dexter." Blossom says looking up at him.
"Not having you at school today made me feel like life before I met you."
"Boring and lonely?" She asks remembering what he's told her about his life in his old city.
"Very much so." He says agreeing with her.
"I'm glad I've taken the boring out of your life." She says smiling at him.
"You've done more they just make my life interesting Blossom." He says creasing the side of her face with the hand he didn't already have abound her.
"Oh" what else did I do?" She asks flirting with him.
"You've gave me someone I care about more than I ever have before, I love you Blossom." He says before giving her a kiss.
Blossom love hearing him say he loved her, and she cared for him more than anyone outside her sisters and father. "Love you too Dexter." She says before she kissed him again.
Dexter and Blossom sat on the floor kissing for several minutes until they were interrupted by Buttercup.
"Ahem." Buttercup says clearing her throat causing Dexter and Blossom to end their embrace.
"Yes Buttercup?" Blossom asks feeling a little embarrassed that her sister caught Dexter and her kissing.
"Shower is all yours sis, unless you want to stay down here playing face sucker." Buttercup says grinning at her sister and Dexter.
"Oh, thank you Buttercup." Blossom says standing up from the floor. "I'll be back in a few Dexter." She adds to her boyfriend before walking out of the living room.
Once Blossom was out of the room Buttercup says; "Ok you lovesick fool, be helpful and help me pick up our bedding." To Dexter throwing Blossoms pink pillow at him.
The throw had more force than Buttercup should have used on Dexter so it knocked some of the wind out of him.
"Ok, just don't attack me with another pillow." Dexter says getting up from the floor.
After the girls were done with showering and changing into their normal street clothes they left the house and walked down to the Starbucks at the end of the neighborhood. On the walk Dexter told the girls about the pardon he'd gotten and the Nonhuman Resident License Honeydew gave him for COMPUTER.
"That's amazing Dexter." Blossom says happy to hear that all the troubles of his life are gone.
"It is, I can't wait to tell her." Dexter says looking forward to getting home later to tell COMPUTER. He then remembers that he hadn't told Bubbles or Buttercup who COMPUTER is. "Oh yeah, COMPUTER is-"
"An AI computer thing you made years ago." Buttercup says finishing his sentence in her own way. "Blossom told us about her this morning."
"Oh, well please keep her a secret, even though she's not at risk from Global Security she could still become a target for some crazy mad scientist." He says as the Starbucks came into view.
"We will." Bubbles says as they spot Agent Honeydew sitting at the same table she sat at last time they met at the shop.
"Hello girls, feeling ok? I'd hate for this meeting to have been too much for you." Honeydew says looking up from her laptop she had in front of her.
"We're ok, a little stiff and a few bruises but nothing too major." Blossom says as the four teens sat down at the table.
"Good well I wanted to talk with you because I believe you need to be kept in the loop of what has and will happen after yesterday." Honeydew says jumping right to the point.
"Ok, what's going on?" Blossom asks wanting to know what has happened.
"Well first off the Morbucks girl is facing several charges, aiding a known terrorist, harboring fugitives, aiding in the break out at a maximum security prison and endangering the lives of over three hundred children, just to name a few. She is still a minor so she might get off easy, but the evidence we have will keep her out of the public for a long time. And I have to say when I was talking to her it seemed like part of herself was missing, like she just went through a heartbreak and was devoid of emotions." Honeydew says telling them about Morbucks.
"Regardless of what happens to her, her father's money won't be spent to do any harm on anyone. We've put him and his bank accounts on a very short leash. Now as for Brick, Butch and Boomer we have no idea how they got their powers, so this is a bit trickier. We have our best working and monitoring them and they will most likely stay with Global Security for a very long time." Honeydew says as she starts typing on her laptop again.
"Why are you telling us all of this Honeydew? Global Security isn't normally one for sharing information." Blossom says. She is happy that Honeydew is sharing this information with them but she was concerned that there might be an angle to this.
"I told you, I want to keep you in the loop. You were right, it was your fight and this is your city you protected. All my people did was act like a bunch of buffoons, also this might be the last time we see each other." Honeydew says as she starts typing on her laptop.
"You're not in trouble because you helped us or told us all this stuff are you?" Bubbles asks worried that Honeydew might be fired from her job.
"Not at all, I just got a new assignment and with it a promotion, I'm going to be reviewing the training of every Global Security agent. I also wanted our short time together to end on a high note, which is why I dug this up." Honeydew says as she turned her laptop around.
On the screen of the laptop was a video player, and when Honeydew pushes the play button the girls almost started to cry.
"Hello my name is Rose Utonium and I would like to welcome you Townsville Research and Development." A woman in a white lab coat with long red hair just like Blossom's and green eyes like Buttercups says looking into the camera greeting whoever was holding it.
"Today I will be showing you around our chemical research lab and walking you through what we are working on and hope to achieve with our work." Rose says as her and the camera person start walking down a hallway.
"How…" Blossom says looking away from her mother to Honeydew.
"When I first started at Global Security I got an assignment to go around to various labs throughout the country and document their advancements in their respective fields for our science division, and it just happened to be your mother that walked me through the lab here in Townsville." Honeydew says explaining where the video came from.
"And here is our hardest worker, hard at work as always." Rose says as they approached a man with black hair and the sleeves to his white dress shirt rolled up.
"Honey say hello to-, I'm sorry what was your name again? We've just got back into town and my brain is still in vacation mode a little." Rose says her cheeks turning a little red from embarrassment, just like Blossoms dose, forgetting the name of the cameraman.
"It's quite alright, you can just call me Agent Honeydew." The younger Honeydew says from behind the camera.
"Yes thank you, Thomas are you there?" Rose says poking the gentleman in the shoulder.
"Yes sorry, Hello Ms. Honeydew." The young Professor says turning around lifting his protective glasses up with his dark blue gloves.
"I apologies, my husband tends get lost in his work." Rose says giving a small bow to Honeydew.
"We didn't know you had gotten married, congratulations." Young Honeydew says.
"Thank you, it's only been a few weeks now." Rose says smiling happily over talking about her recent marriage.
"Well then, shall we continue the tour?" Rose says looking at the clipboard she has with her. "We have a lot to show you."
"Yes please, I'd hate for my CO's to think I was getting too personal with this assignment." Young Hondew says.
"Right, this way then." Rose says directing the younger Honeydew down another hall.
Off camera the sound of a cheek being kissed is heard followed by Rose saying; "Don't work too hard, and remember Jen at the front desk is coming up to take out picture later."
"I won't, love you Rose." They hear the younger Professor says off camera.
"Love you too, you big nerd." Rose says just before the video ended.
"I can't show you the rest of the video because it has classified stuff on it, but I thought you girls would like to see her and to know what an amazing woman she was." Honeydew says turning the laptop back around to face herself.
The girls were lost for words. Never before had they heard their mother's voice, and hearing her tell their father that she loved him felt like she was taking the three of them too.
"Tha-that was my-OUR mom…" Bubbles says the first of the girls to speak tears forming in her eyes.
Seeing the girls lost for words and on the verge of crying Honeydew worried that it might have been a bad idea showing the girls the video. "I hope I didn't upset you girls." She says as she ejected a disk from the laptop.
"No... its fine, we've just never seen more than a few pictures of our mom. Thank you Agent Honeydew." Blossom says fighting back her own tears from seeing her mother.
"Mommy…" Buttercup whispers her soft side showing.
Catching what her sister said Bubbles hugs Buttercup and she hugs her back.
"If you girls would like, I had made a copy of the video for you to keep and to show your father." Honeydew says putting the disk into a case before holding it out the four teens.
Blossom wipes her eyes then clears her throat and takes the disk. "Thank you Honeydew, for everything." She says holding the disk to her heart feeling like she has part of her mother's soul in her hands.
"You're welcome Blossom, I hope this will be the end of a lot of bad things here in Townsville." Honeydew says as she slipped her Laptop into her black bag. "You four have earned some peace for a while."
Blossom holds her right hand out to Honeydew. "Take care of yourself Agent Honeydew."
Honeydew smiles then takes Blossoms hand and shakes it. "You too Blossom, and Dexter." She says looking over to Dexter who had remained quiet out of respect for his girlfriend and her sisters.
"Yes?" He says as Blossom takes his hand with hers when Honeydew lets go of her hand.
"Keep an eye on the girls for me." Honeydew says quoting him from when they were in the cave.
"I will, that I can promise you." He says as Honeydew got up from the table.
"Are you sure you don't want me to hang around for a little while?" Dexter asks Blossom when she told him he could go home when they got back to their house.
"I'm sure Dexter. I'll come by and see you later, I just think this is something we should show our dad alone." Blossom says reassuring Dexter that it is ok for him to go home for the time being.
"Ok, but I'm just a phone call away if you need anything." He says hugging his girlfriend.
"Thank you Dexter, I love you." She says hugging him tight.
"I love you too Blossom." He says before he kissed her goodbye.
It really was the end of a lot of bad thing for the girls and Townsville. With the treat of HIM and his monster attacks gone the girls only had low class villains to deal with. Mojo Jojo would still pop up from time to time or some other new threat would show up, but the girls were always ready to defend Townsville.
Morbucks rich father was able to keep her out of going to prison, but she was never seen or heard from again. Rumors of her being home schooled or sent to an all-girls private school in the UK floated around Townsville High, but no one cared enough to look into them. With her and her meat head boyfriends gone kids eventually started talking to Dexter and the girls. It was only a few of the students, but they didn't care to actively make any new friends. Buttercup and Bubbles even had boys chasing them, but they shot all of them down.
Dexter's parents did end up finding out about Blossom and her sisters having powers, and to his surprise they didn't freak out like he thought they would. They found out when The Mayor gave the girls the key to the city for all they have done to keep the people of Townsville safe.
When they confronted Dexter about his girlfriend and her sisters being superheroes they didn't understand why he had kept it a secret.
"I was worried you would freak out. The last thing I wanted was for you to be worried that I was getting into danger being friends with them." Dexter says to his parents as they sat in the dining room.
"We know you would never do anything dangerous Dexter, you're not some super smart computer genius that would get involved in a fight. You're our good smart son who never does anything crazy." Mom says showing how much about her son she doesn't, and will never know.
Despite their best efforts Global Securely couldn't find Mandark anywhere, he seemed to have just fallen off the face of the earth.
Months after the fight with HIM there was a bouquet of yellow flowers on their door with a note to Dee Dee that just said; "I'm sorry, M."
"Isn't yellow meant for friendship?" Dexter had asks when Dee Dee showed him the flowers.
"I think so, you think this is his way of apologizing?" She asks holding the flowers away from herself in case it was a trick.
With Townsville safe and their personal enemies' gone time flew by and before Dexter and the girls knew it, high school was over. Dexter graduated at the top of the class with Blossom right behind him, and all three girls were accepted into the state school based in Townsville.
Originally Dexter wanted to attend MIT to get a degree in computer programing, but during his senior year of high school The Professor had gotten him an internship at the Townsville Research and Development, which let him quit his job at the Pizzeria that he was quite happy to leave.
Dexter knew he could learn a lot from going to MIT but he also knew that there was a lot of things he could learn from working at the research center that he wouldn't from leaving Townsville, not to mention that he wouldn't have to have a long distance relationship with Blossom.
After talking with Blossom and COMPUTER over both options he chose to stay in Townsville and attend state school with Blossom and her sisters while keeping his internship.
Blossom fulfilled her dream and got a degree in teaching, and she loved being a kindergarten teacher. She was even able to get hired at the same kindergarten school her and her sisters attended when they were little.
Buttercup took all kinds of classes related to music and worked hard on making hew "new sound", but people didn't flock to it like she had hopped. She did sell a few albums but it wasn't enough to launch a major carrier off of.
Bubbles surprised not only Dexter, but her sisters as well when she went for a fashion major. She had a strange knack for it and her sisters were always willing to try out anything she came up with. Buttercup would be more brutally honest with her sister than Blossom was, but Bubbles didn't let it faze her.
After college Dexter went from just an intern to an official employ of Townsville Research and Development as part of the IT department. On his first day of working in the IT department Dexter hung the plaque the girls had given him for his first Christmas in Townsville at his desk.
As Dexter stood back to see if the plaque was straight a pair of hands wrap around him from behind and a head rests on his shoulders.
"Showing off are we?" Blossom asks as she hugs Dexter from behind.
"Only a little." He says happy to see his girlfriend. "What brings you by?"
"What? Because I saw you this morning I can't miss you?" She asks as he turned around in her arms to face her.
"Of course you can." He says giving her a quick kiss.
"Good, cause I'm kidnaping you so you can take me out to lunch." She says letting go of him.
"What about your class?" Dexter asks noticing the time on the clock on the wall.
"Half day today. The kids all went home early so I came here to see you." She says explaining why she wasn't at work.
"Well then, allow me to treat you to some lunch." He says thinking over the different places he could take Blossom out to lunch.
Dexter did sell the design for the handcuffs and gave Buttercup her cut like he had promised, he even named them Butter-cuffs after her. Using the money he got from the sale he was able to leave the lab company to start his own computer program company. Really it was him working from home writing computer programs he wanted, and taking commissioned jobs too for people like The Professor. But he liked it a lot more than just being a simple IT technician and Blossom supported him the whole way.
I could also tell you that after college Blossom and Dexter quickly settled down to start a family and lived happily ever after like normal people do. But this is Blossom Utonium and Dexter McPherson, a superhero and computer genius. Yes they are and will be happy and together till the end, but settling down was something neither of them ever planned for. They did get married a few years after college and even got a very nice apartment in the city together, but they just weren't the settling down type.
Blossom took her teaching seriously and made sure her students got the personal attention they each needed, just like Ms. Keane did for her sisters and her.
Dexter was leading the field in computer programing after his first operating system he wrote put his name on the map and has been giving Microsoft and Apple a run for their money. Sometimes Dexter would get wrapped up in his work Blossom would have to drag him away from it, just like her mother did for her father. But they were completely head over heels in love so he would never fight her as she dragged him out of his office.
All of this lead to them having just enough free time for each other outside of their work, that is until Rose came into their lives. In their thirties Blossom gave birth to a little red headed girl, she was unplanned but never was she a mistake.
"Look at her, she beautiful." Dexter says as he sat on the hospital bed next to Blossom holding his newborn daughter.
"Yes she is, she still needs a name you know." Blossom says feeling really tired and ready for a good long rest.
"With red hair like this I can only think of one name Blossom." He says as he gently placed their little girl in Blossom arms.
"Yeah, it does seem like only one name would fit her." Blossom says letting out a yawn and closing her eyes.
They chose to name her Rose after Blossom's mother and she was the greatest thing to ever happen to both of them. Little Rose didn't inherit any of her mother's powers, but she did get her father's green eyes and both of their brains and grew to be a very smart little girl.
With having a daughter Blossom chose to take a step back letting a new generation of heroes take over protecting the city, but she would always be ready if the city or the world needed her.
Dexter also took a step back from his own work and wouldn't spend all day working. His time spent with Rose was something he quickly came to love, playing with her and her toys or reading to her were his favorite activities to do with his daughter.
As smart of a little girl Rose was, Dexter and Blossom didn't know how she would react to COMPUTER. But she was their daughter and when she did get into Dexter's home office and found the custom rig Dexter had built for COMPUTER Rose surprised both of her parents by spending hours talking to COMPUTER and then asks them at dinner; "Why does Aunty Compy lives in Daddy's computer?"
"What do you mean Rose?" Blossom asks her daughter confused by what she had said.
"In Daddy's computer, the lady inside said her name was COMPUTER. Is she Daddy and Aunty Dee Dee's sister?" Rose asks doing her best to explain what she meant.
"She's not my sister, but she is a member of our family Rose." Dexter says explaining what his relation to COMPUTER is.
"Then why does she live in the computer? Is she the like Koosy from Aunty Dee Dee's stories and isn't real?" Rose asks trying her best to understand her father.
"No Honey, she is not like Dee Dee's imaginary friend. COMPUTER is real, she just lives in the computer." Blossom says correcting her daughter.
"Oh…, so she's a computer program that came to life like Pinocchio?" Rose says finally understanding her parents.
"Not exactly, but close Rose." Dexter says patting his daughter on the head.
Rose starts to laugh. "Daddy you are really smart." She says as he patted her on the head.
"So are you too Sweetie, not many four year olds would understand all of that." Blossom says as Rose still laughs even though Dexter had stopped patting her head.
"Now Rose remember, I'll be just two rooms away if you need me." Blossom says as Dexter and her lead Rose dressed in her new red dress with a black belt into a classroom for her first day of kindergarten.
"But why can't I be in your class Mommy?" Rose asks squeezing her mother's hand she was holding as she saw the room full of unknown kids.
"Because you Mommy has her own kids to teach and look out for. Plus don't you think it would be unfair to the other kids to have your teacher also be your mom?" Dexter asks kneeling down next to Rose.
Rose looks down pouting. "Yes…" She says knowing her father was right. "But I don't know any of the other kids."
"That's part of going to school, you make friends." Blossom says kneeling down next to Dexter.
"But you always say how smart I am, and you said you didn't have friends because you were really smart Daddy." Rose says looking at her father.
"I did Rose, but that was because of a really mean person that didn't like me or Mommy." Dexter says setting a hand on roses shoulder.
"Did you say your dad is really smart?" a little girl with curly black hair and freckles dressed in a purple dress asks walking over to Rose and her parents.
"Um yes, my Daddy is really smart." Rose says back to the other little girl feeling a little afraid of her.
"My dad is super smart too, my name is Olga." Olga says smiling at Rose.
"M-my name is Rose." Rose says still afraid of Olga.
"Hi Rose, do you wanna come play with me? All the other kids don't want to play with me." Olga says frowning over the kids not wanting to play with her.
"Why don't they want to play with Olga?" Blossom asks feeling sorry for her knowing what it feels like to not have people wanting to play with.
"I was making mol-molecules like my dad showed me, but they don't know what they are." Olga says having trouble with the bigger word.
"Oh I know what those are. My Daddy showed me some too." Rose says getting excited over talking about science, just like her father did when he was young.
"Do you wanna make some with me? I have a pile of these sticks and round wood things with holes in them." Olga says looking over at a pile of tinker toys.
"Yes." Rose says before she looked up to her parents. "Is it ok if I go and play?" she asks Dexter and Blossom.
"Yes go and play with little Olga Rose." Blossom says smiling at her daughter.
Rose quickly hugs Dexter and Blossom before she ran off to play with Olga.
As she watched her daughter run off with her new friend Blossom turned to Dexter. "You don't think she's…?" She says noticing the similarities between Olga and two people they haven't seen in almost twenty years.
"She couldn't be." Dexter says also noticing the similarities but not wanting to believe the thought of Mandark and Morbucks having a kid.
As they stood up they see Rose and Olga laughing and playing together with the tinker toys.
"I don't think we'll have to worry about it." Dexter says as they watch their little girl playing with new friend. 'If she is Mandark's daughter then Rose is the perfect person to be her friend. All Mandark needed back then was a friend, and I could have been his.' Dexter thinks as he opens the door for Blossom listening to the sound of his little girl's laughter.
"I hope you're right, the last thing I want is for those two to show up again." Blossom says as they walk out of Roses classroom.
"But if they do, we will keep our family safe." Dexter says as they join hands and walk towards Blossom's classroom.
The end.
After thoughts.
The end of Dexter, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercups tale is here. I hope everyone enjoyed this story and how it turned out. When I started I just wanted to write a story about Dexter building all kinds of tech for the Powerpuff girls but past the communicators nothing I could think of seemed cool or good enough. I didn't plan this one out as much as I did with my last story, so I hadn't even planned on having Dexter and Blossom becoming a thing, the story just evolved into it.
I really don't like that Dexter's parents don't have any official names other than Mom and Dad and I chose to just stick with those names trying to stay as close to the source material as I could outside of my rewrites.
Rewriting an already established characters back story is something I don't like when it's not done right and I really hope I did a good job on how the girls got their powers, Morbucks just being a rich snob and Dexter being a bigger social outcast than he was in the show along with the other smaller ones.
I feel like maybe the girls mothers fate was a bit too dark, but a friend told me that sometimes you need a bit of grit to make a good story.
Having Morbucks fall for Mandark was another thing I never thought or planned for, it was just something I came up with when writing that part of the story and ran with it. But evil is drawn to evil isn't it?
One thing I am a little ashamed of is the fight scenes, I purposely avoided writing fight scenes because I didn't like how they would come out, it's just something I'm not good at and if I ever write another story with action in it I will try to do better.
I wanted Global Security to seem like it was this universe's version of SHIELD from the Marvel comics with all the surveillance and spy stuff.
I did purposely stick with Dexter's point of view for the story to try a different format than my last story, just to see how it would work. It made writing easier but not nearly as fun as I thought it would so I don't think I will do it again.
Writing this was just as (if not more) addictive as my last story and I tried a lot more to catch spelling and grammar errors this time around, but I'm sure I missed several throughout the story (sorry for those).
I need to take another break before I start on a sequel to a story I had said I might write one for, so this is it from me for a long while because I still need to come up with ideas for that story.
Thank you to everyone that read and enjoyed my second big story, and once again. Until next time, so long and onward for science!
