A/N: Hey, everybody! Now in ToonSchool we're focuses on grades, boarding school, and mutations. Let's see what we get when we put all those together.

Plot: It's Report Card Day for ToonSchool, and the gang is excited to receive their periodical grades for the semester (some more than others). They are shellshocked, however, when Bubbles' report card seemingly reveals she got two Ds and four Fs, the worst out of all of them. When Professor Utonium finds out, he almost immediately sends Bubbles back to Townsville to attend boarding school in order to keep a closer eye on her. As the rest of the gang tries to cope with her departure, Bubbles soon discovers her new school, is not all what it appears to be…

Scary Prep Time: Part 1

It was the end of the day at ToonSchool. The last bell rang, and immediately, the hallways flooded with students. But instead of going towards the front gate, the students headed to the main office, and crowded around the entrance. At this, Mickey and Prickley, who'd been about to head out with several boxes in hand, stopped in their tracks.

"Okay, now just calm down everyone," Mickey said. "I know you're very eager to get your report cards"

"Man, why is this one of the biggest demanding school days of the year?," Prickley asked. "I didn't think that kids could get so enthusiastic about report cards."

In the crowd the gang was trying to push their way through, but was getting separated by the massive crowd.

"Can't…get…through," Tony grunted.

"Too…many…people," Jimmy grunted trying to squeeze through.

"What…do we…do?," Bubbles asked.

"Everyone, just split up, get your report card and meet back at our place," Tony suggested.

"Good idea," Daryl grunted as the gang split up.


Sometime later, Tony and Daryl were at their apartment with the envelopes containing their report cards waiting on everyone. Suddenly there was a rushed knock at the door.

"It's open," Tony called. The door then opened and the whole gang piled in, with their own envelopes.

"So, everyone has their report cards?," Daryl asked.

"Yeah!," the whole gang shouted.

"Ready to open them?," Tony asked.

"Yeah!"

"Then let's do it!"

"Alright, time to see if all my hard studying has paid off!," Blossom giggled with glee.

"Me too," Jimmy added in.

"You have an I.Q. of 210," Tommy reminds him. "You don't need to study."

"As long as I get a C-average, I'm cool with my card," Bart said.

"I double on that," Bloo agreed.

"I'm for triple," Tony put in. The whole gang opened their envelopes and pulled out their report cards, gasping in anticipation.

"Alright! I got all A's!," Blossom cheered in glee.

"Ha! So did I, though that would be expected from someone of my–," Jimmy started to brag.

"Yeah, yeah. No need to hear your proclamation of great genius Nerdtron," Timmy said.

"Well, then what did you get, Mr. Smarty-Turner?"

"Three B's and two Cs. Better than my old usual report card. No A's, though."

"I got four B's and two C's. No A's, like Timmy though," Danny said.

"Well, I got 2 A's, three B's, and one C," Tony said. "My best report card yet! Eat your heart out, Marc!"

"I got 3 A's, one B, one C," Daryl said. "Good if I say so myself."

"Two A's, two B's, and two C's for me," Mac said.

"I got four A's and two B's on my card," June stated. "Looks like with me splitting the responsibilities of the Te Xuan Ze, I could concentrate on my school work more easily."

"Same with me and my Am Drag stuff, dawg," Jake agreed. "I got two A's, two B's, and one C."

"Well mine is two A's, two B's, and two C's," Lilo said. "Wait 'til Nani sees this."

"Aka-biki!," Stitch said in agreement.

"Well, my grades are one A and four B's," Tommy said. "Great!"

"And my grades are… one A, one B, and four C's," Bart said. "My best card yet!"

"Me too! I got the same grades too!," Bloo said.

"Who'd have thought you troublemakers could actually muster up good report cards?," Blossom said.

"Yeah, well…" Bart said with a shrug.

"My grades are one A, two B's, one C…and a D in Robotics," Ash said with a slight frown.

"Yeah, your not the most mechanically inclined person, Ash," Jimmy pointed out.

"I kinda expected that."

"Well, my grades are one A, three B's and one C. Not bad," Buttercup boasted. "How about you, Bubbles?"

Upon reading her report card, Bubbles trembled and shuddered, confusing everyone.

"Bubbles, what's the matter?," Tommy asked.

"TWO D's AND FOUR F's?!," Bubbles exclaimed. "But how can that be?!"

At this, the gang crowded around and were shocked to see Bubbles' report card.

"Whoa, haven't seen a report card this bad, since all of mine back in Southdale,"

"And mine back in Springfield," Bart added.

"And mine back in Dimmsdale," Timmy put in.

"But how could this happen? I studied very hard this semester," Bubbles squealed.

"Maybe all that saving the world before bedtime, plus hanging with all of us, took it's toll on your efforts in class," Mac suggested.

"That can't be it," Blossom said. "It wasn't a problem for me."

"Or me," Buttercup agreed.

"Maybe that's because Bubbles here just don't have–," Bloo started to say, only to be met with glares from everyone.

"I suggest you think very hard about what you're gonna say before you say it, Blooregard," Tony growled.

"Never mind," Bloo said.

"Well, what are you gonna tell Professor Utonium?," Danny asked. Bubbles gasped.

"Oh-no, the Professor!," she shrieked in terror. "If he finds out about this, he's gonna be so mad! What'll I do?!"

"I know. Gimme that," Bart said as he snatched the report card away and quickly ripped it to shreds before everyone's eyes.

"Bart!," almost everyone said.

"What? Problem solved. Now he won't know."

"Not quite, dawg," Jake said. "There are other ways parents can find out what's gone on at school."

"Like phone calls and e-mail," Jimmy added in. Just then, the gang heard a ringing sound.

"Speaking of phones, who's is that?," Ash asked.

"Mine," Tony said as he picked up his phone as the gang watched.

"Hello?," he answered. "Oh, hello sir. Yeah she's here, why do you need to–oh I see, I get her here."

He turned back to the gang.

"Hey Bubbles, it's for you."

Bubbles, afraid that she knew who was on the other line, took the phone from Tony.

"H-hello?," she said trembling.

"Hello, Bubbles," Utonium said in a calm, slighty angry tone. "You know what today is, right?"

"Um, your birthday?"

"Try again."

"Father's Day?"

"One more try."

"Arbor Day."

"Report Card Day, Bubbles. And what are your grades this semester?"

"My grades? Um…"

"You won't believe it. She got–," Bloo started to say aloud, only to be silenced again with death glares from everyone.

"Um…"

"You don't need to answer that. The school called and sent me a copy. TWO D'S AND FOUR F'S?!," the angry voice of Professor Utonium rang throughout the room. "I am most disappointed in you, young lady!"

"But Professor, there has to be an misunderstanding about this!"

"There is no misunderstanding about you doing so poorly in all of your classes."

"But–"

"No buts, Bubbles. You've proven here that you can't be trusted here with this band and these distractions! I'm sending you to boarding school back in Townsville and that's final!"

"But don't I get a say in this?"

"NO!"

Utonium hung up and started to tear up as the gang watched.

"Bubbles are you okay?," Mac asked.

"What happened," Tommy added.

"Are you grounded?," Lilo asked.

"Worse…," Bubbles said softly before crying out, "THE PROFESSOR'S SENDING ME TO BOARDING SCHOOL BACK IN TOWNSVILLE!"

The whole gang gasped in shock and horror. Bubbles, the heart and soul of their circle, was being sent away to a baording school?

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!," Timmy cried out so loud that it could be heard from space.

"This can't be happening!," Tommy yelled in disbelief. "You can't leave us!"

"Yeah, you help complete our scholl ohana!," Lilo said in shock. "Without you, the circle is…uncomplete."

"Mya Miki-friend!," Stitch put in.

"But he said he was sending me and that's final," Bubbles cried.

"Oh, man, when the Professor says 'that's final' on something, he's serious," Buttercup.

"And nothing can change his mind."

"Well what about the Toonsters. You're the female lead singer and one of the founding members. What will we do without you?"

"I–I don't know…," Bubbles said as she cried with her sisters comforted her. Suddenly, a WOOHP tunnel suddenly opened and in a whoosh of wind, in dropped Jerry with some baggage.

"Jerry?," Daryl asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I sort of need a place to stay for a while," he answered. "My house has become temporarily…uninhabitable."

"Uninhabitable? How?," Daryl asked.

"It seems Samuel's Rotom WOOHPed itself to my house and thanks to it, my house is now a frozen wasteland. Now I must relocate until the place thaws and is inspected for possible water damage."

"Talk about rotten luck," Tommy said.

"And by the way, Bubbles, I just heard about what happened. I'm teribbly sorry, you'll be leaving," Jerry commented. "But don't be too worried. I went to boarding school and look how I turned out."

"Too easy," Bart snickered.

"Well, I guess you can stay with us for a while," Tony said. "But under certain conditions: one, you stay in the living room down here; two, if you snore, wear this mask to silence it; and three, the upstairs is off limits."

"No worries, you won't even know I'm here," Jerry said. Just then Bubbles' cell phone beeped. She looked at it and saw a text from Utonium.

"It's the Professor. He just texted me when I have to leave for my new school," she said.

"And when's that?," Danny asked.

"First thing in the morning."

"Aw man," Mac said as the gang hung their heads in sadness.


The next morning at the PowerPuff Girls house, a limo pulled up at the house, where the gang was waiting to say goodbye to Bubbles, now in her new school's uniform.

"Well, there's your ride," Blossom said sadly.

"Yeah, guess this is it, huh?," Buttercup added.

"Yeah," Bubbles sighed.

"Don't worry, Bubbles," Tony said.

"Yeah, you'll still be our girl," Jake added.

"No matter how far you go," June put in.

"And no matter what happens," Ash finished.

Bubbles, close to tears, sniffed as she said, "You guys are the best friends ever!"

The whole gang then group hugged one last time, before Bubbles entered the limo.

"Bye!," the gang waved to Bubbles who waved back as the door closed and the limo drove away.


Later on, having reached Townsville, Bubbles glumly observed the sights of her old home town as the limo drove on. While she somewhat happy to be back, she was still very sad to leave her friends and school in ToonTown. Finally, the limo pulled up to an academy building where students in uniforms were coming and going. On a sign on the front of the building said: TOWNSVILLE PREPATORY ZOOPHILIC ACADEMY.

"Well, welcome to my new life," Bubbles sighed as she stepped up to meet a man with a business-like suit, and a pig-like nose waiting for her.

"Hello, Ms. Utonium, I'm Headmaster Purcell," the man introduced himself. "Welcome to Townsville Prepatory Zoophilic Academy. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here."

"I doubt it," Bubbles said as she followed Purcell into the main hall, where many other students were chatting and lounging around. Bubbles didn't take notice of the strange features they had.

"Here, we will not only boost your grades, but we will enlighten you in ways you could never imagine, turning you into an outstanding intellectual creature."

As Purcell pointed at the grand hall of the school, Bubbles seemed to be impressed.

"Nice," she said. "Just one question: what's the 'Zoophilic' part of your name about?"

"Good question, come to my office and I'll elaborate."


In Purcell's office, he explained, "Our biggest accomplishment is the study of animal intellect and behavior. We aim to compare it to the intellect and behavior of what we humans possess. We keep many animals here at the school for research in our work. But rest assured, they are treated with utmost humanity."

He then took out a bunch of books, a map and a folder from his desk.

"Now, here is your class schedule, a map of the campus, and a little something, on our school's history, now you'd best get to class now."

"Yes, sir," Bubbles said as she floated out of the room, carrying her materials. Once she was gone, Purcell looked over her file on his desk.

"The perfect candidate," he said. "Scratch that, she's the ultra-superior candidiate!"


Meanwhile, in Bubbles' "language class", the students were speaking in barks, squeals, chirps, and other sounds, which confused Bubbles.

"Um, excuse me, but I thought, this was a language class?," she said to a girl next to her.

"It is, an animal language class," the girl said.

"Oh, I see. That's weird…even though I speak a little squirrel myself."


Later, in the gym, the students were having swim class. Bubbles was paired into a group of other students who seemed to have the noses and fins of dolphins.

"Great, we get stuck with the new kid," one student grumbled.

"Look, just stand out of our way and let us handle this, PowderPuff," another told her.

"First off, it's PowerPuff, and second, my sisters and I won gold for ToonSchool's swim team–," Bubbles snapped. At that moment, the coach sounded his whistle, and the two teams jumped in and swam to the other side of the pool within four seconds stunning Bubbles. "–two years in a row…That was faster than me and my sisters ever swam."


In the cafeteria, halls Bubbles noticed the students were fitted with even more strange animalistic characteristics such as bat and cat-like ears, rabbit and bloodhound-like noses, and cat and bird-like hands, to name a few.

"What are you looking at?," a girl with fangs snarled, startling the PowerPuff.

"Nothing," Bubbles squeaked as she went to get some lunch. She noticed that there was strange stuff such as whole raw fish, raw steak, kibble, live worms, and crickets.

"Eww," she said to herself. Then she saw her classmates eating the said food. "DOUBLE EWWW! Is there nothing edible to eat at all here for me at all?!"

At that everybody looked and stared at Bubbles who quickly zoomed out of the kitchen crying.

"I hate this place!," Bubbles said as she took out a ComPowder that Tony and Daryl had given her before she left to stay in touch with them and the gang. "I bet Tony, Daryl, Blossom, Buttercup, and the rest of my friends are having a great time without me."


In Tony and Daryl's Apartment 7K, it was anything but a great time, as Jerry had quickly worn out his welcome with the boys. His messy, bachelor-like habits had left the once-grand apartment a walking pigsty, much to Tony and Daryl's chagrin.

"Geez, Jerry, I admit I've had my sloppy moments but even this is too extreme!," Tony exclaimed. Daryl then stepped in an old pizza, covering his shoe in sauce and cheese.

"Geez, Jer, cut the bachelor crud already!," Daryl said.

"I'm sorry, my home habits just always seem to get the better of me," Jerry said as he took a broom and dustpan that Daryl handed him. Just then, Tony's MP3COM rang.

"It must be Bubbles," he said as he answered it. "Hey Bubbles, we miss you!"

"I miss you guys too," Bubbles said. "How are my sisters and the others."

"Not here now, thank God," Daryl said. "So how's it back in Townsville?"

"Normally, I'd be glad to see my old hometown, but this school is so weird," Bubbles said. "You won't believe what I've been through today."

"Yeah, well Jerry here is the worst houseguest we've had since Prickley," Tony said.

"I'm standing right here," Jerry said.

Ignoring Jerry, Daryl said, "I hope you still have better luck than we do here."

"I doubt it. I better get to my next class," Bubbles said. "Tell Blossom, Buttercup, and the others I said hi."

"Will do," Tony said. "See ya, Bubbles."

He then ended the transmission, just as an exploding sound came from the microwave. Daryl opened it and took out a plate of eggs that had exploded in the microwave.

"I don't know who taught you to use a microwave, but they sure did the most horrific job ever!," Daryl said. Meanwhile, in the hall, Oak was returning from a visit with Ash's mother Delia. On his way to the elevator, he noticed the open door to Tony and Daryl's place. Wondering what was up, he went and peaked inside. He was astonished to not only see the place a big mess, but also to see…

"Jerry!," Oak said to himself. Remembering Jerry was still angry for what Rotom did to his house, Oak quickly ran past and bolted to the elevator without being seen. "If he was that angry on the phone, I'd hate to hear him yell in person."


Back at TPZA, Bubbles headed to her dorm room.

"Well, since I got a free period, I suppose should check out my room," she said as she headed to her dorm. Upon opening the door, she saw the dorm was furnished to the tee, and included a waterbed, which she quickly jumped on. She then noticed a strange control panel near the bed, and crawled to take a closer look. "Temp controls? Wetness levels? Call silencing? This is one weird waterbed. I'll take dry."

She set the wetness level to "bone dry" and then reached to her backpack to fetch something.

"It like back in ToonTown. Maybe this school isn't so bad after all."

Unknown to Bubbles, a figure was watching her on camera, and pressed a button on a keyboard. Bubbles' waterbed suddenly dunked her into a tank of water, which then began to suck her down as she got to the surface.

"Hey! Stop! Someone help!," she cried as she grabbed the edge of the tank and managed to activate the "Alert" app on the ComPowder that Tony had given her so she could keep in touch with the rest of the gang, just before the whirlpool sucked her in screaming.

A/N: Man, I knew that school was weird, but now it's turned sinister! Will the gang get Bubbles's alert and save her in time? And what's Purcell's gameplan? Find out next time on Scary Prep Time Pt. 2, coming soon!
