Chapter 2 Tag
(As the sun rose over the horizon, the light shone into the girls' bedroom as the Professor approached the four sleeping girls four with dresses in his hands. He realized how at peace they seemed as they were soundly asleep, not aware of how dark and scary the world was out there.)
"Wake up, girls," he addressed calmly yet brightly with a warm smile, causing all four of them to rise up before he added softly, "Time for school".
(Buttercup grumbled quietly in annoyance; Blossom sat up and yawned; Bell stretched and rubbed her eyes while also yawning; but Bubbles looked up at her dad with nervousness in her eyes.
"Will it be scary?" Bubbles asked calmly yet softly in worry with a concerned look on her face while having a hand to her mouth.
Bell consoled calmly yet gently with a giggle and with a sympathetic smile, "Hehe! Aww, there is no need for worry, Bubbles. As long as we stick together, nothing will be too daunting for us. Right, Professor?"
"Bell is right, Bubbles. School will be a fun experience for you and your sisters. Your new teacher will be very nice. I promise," the Professor agreed calmly in encouragement with a gentle smile and with a nod as he stared at the girls.
"Umm...Professor? As much as I relieved that it's going to be fine, I think that there is still one question that's on our minds," Bubbles replied calmly in curiosity with a confused look on her face.
"Oh? And what's that?" Professor asked calmly yet gently in curiosity as he stared at the girls.
"What's 'school'?" all four girls asked calmly yet simultaneously in confusion with curious looks on their faces.
(We then cut to Pokey Oaks Kindergarten that is on the outskirts of the city. With the Professor's car parked on the street in front of the school, he and the girls were near the open classroom door. We can hear the other kids in the class laughing and playing inside. When they got there, they were greeted by a young woman who was about 29-years-old with black hair, light-blue eyes, wearing a red vest, an orange shirt, and brown pants.)
She was smiling brightly at them as she answered calmly in amusement, "This is school. I'm your teacher, Ms. Keane, and this is where kids come to learn. See?".
(She gestured towards the room, and the girls followed her glaze. It was full of kids around their ages being seated at short blue tables in oranges seats. Most of them were talking; a few of them were building block castles; two kids were playing with trucks; and one was even reading a book. Suddenly, a boy with a blue T-shirt and spiked, brown hair stepped in front of them while smiling playfully.)
"Hey, you wanna play?" He asked calmly yet brightly in eagerness with a playful smile on his face while having his hands out.
(Three of the girls smiled brightly at this while Bubbles looked a little nervous as she hid behind the Professor's legs. Three girls looked at Ms. Keane who nodded at them, and soon, the three girls followed the boy towards the play area inside the classroom while giggling happily. All but Bubbles who is still hiding behind the Professor.)
Bell looked back and smiled sympathetically at Bubbles as she consoled gently in encouragement, "Aww, come now, Bubbles. we won't get hurt. As long as you're with me and your sisters, you'll be just fine. Alright?".
Bubbles peeked out and smiled shyly at Bell while she answered softly with a nod, "Um, okay".
Bell beamed cheerfully at Bubbles as she exclaimed brightly in amusement, "That's the spirit, my dear Bubbles! Now, come along! Fun is just around the corner!".
(They soon took each other's hands and ran off to play with their sisters and the other children. Ms. Keane looked over to the Professor with a knowing look as she saw how hesitant he was about leaving them, just like how every parent she came across was afraid to leave their child alone for the first time in a strange place.)
"Look, Ms. Keane, I know that this is a new experience for the girls, so they might be...well...they don't mean to do any harm since they're such kind girls...But...oh, how do I say this? Please don't be alarmed if they do...something...odd. They're special. Like really special. So, I don't know how they're going to handle this new environment. Don't you think that they're going to be..." the Professor warned calmly in concern with an anxious look on his face while having his hands up as he stared at Ms. Keane before slowly looking at the girls. had already engaged eagerly with the classmates. Buttercup was playing with the truck and cars with two other kids on the floor; Bubbles and two girls were chatting eagerly while playing with toys scissors; Blossom had already picked up a book and was talking to another girl with a book under her arm; and lastly, Bell was giving a small singing performance with two other kids while they were playing with blocks and while enjoying her performance at the same time as was some other kids.)
The Professor then looked awkward as he muttered calmly in confusion and in concern, "…okay?".
"They will be just fine, Professor. Well, I'll see you at noon," Ms. Keane replied calmly in a kind yet firm tone as she waved "goodbye" before slightly pushing the Professor out the door.
"Umm...Okay. Bye, girls! Bye! Bye! Bye-bye! Bye! Bye!" the Professor muttered calmly before exclaiming awkwardly with a concerned look on his face while having a hand next to his mouth. rolled her eyes and pushed him completely yet gently out the door. Walking back in, she closes it and turns her attention towards the class.)
She then grabbed a yellow bell and rang it as it gained all the children's attention before announcing calmly in firmness, "Time to clean up and take a seat, class".
A younger girl with tight, curly brown hair asked calmly yet brightly in excitement, "Can Blossom sit with us?!".
(Blossom opened her mouth in joyful surprise.)
"Can we sit with, Bubbles?!" a different girl with brown, pigtailed hair asked calmly yet brightly in excitement as she pulled Bubbles to their table with an oriental girl with perfectly swept black hair.
"Can Buttercup sit over here?!" Mitch asked calmly yet brightly in excitement too as he points to an empty seat next to him, making the gruff girl smile as well.
"Yeah, can Bell sit next us?! She has such a lovely voice!" a younger boy with glasses and red hair asked calmly yet brightly with an eager look on his face as he pulled Bell over to his table with another girl that has orange hair and a light-green dress.
(Bell smiled warmly at them for being so kind and friendly towards her and her sisters.)
"The girls can sit right here in the middle..." Ms. Keane answered calmly yet gently with a warm smile as she pushed Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Bell into four vacant seats in a table surround by all the other tables.
With the whole class being seen, she finished calmly with, "...so they'll be next to everyone".
"Yay!" all kids cheered enthusiastically in joy as Ms. Keane headed back to the chalkboard while the four girls looked really happy with themselves.
"Now then, class, let's begin with..." Ms. Keane started with a gentle smile and with a piece of chalk in her hand as she began to write on the chalkboard before the camera shifts from her view to the clock.
(The clock slowly changes as it fades from 9 AM to noon. A knock is heard on the door. KNOCK! From Ms. Keane's perspective, it opens to reveal Professor Utonium on the step as he waved sheepishly with a silly grin on his face.)
Ms. Keane muttered calmly yet brightly in amusement with a gentle smile, "Hello, Professor, you're right on time! Your girls are right outside with the other children".
(The Professor inspected the messy classroom and immediately became distraught.)
"Oh, no!" the Professor exclaimed in shock with a distraught yet guilty look on his face as he continued apologetically, "Oh, I knew that the girls would be a handful, but…I'm so sorry".
"What? This? Pff!" Ms. Keane scoffed calmly in slight amusement as she gestured to the classroom before walking to the back door that led to the playground as the Professor followed her outside and stepped out together while she continued calmly yet brightly in pride, "This is what happens when you put twenty little kids in one, little room. Your girls were perfect. Perfect, normal, well-behaved, little girls".
The Professor looked surprised at this before he questioned calmly with an intrigued look on his face while having a finger under his chin, "Nothing out of the ordinary?".
"No. Like what?" Ms. Keane answered calmly in confusion as she looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression on her face.
(The scene then cuts to the girls as we see Bell, Buttercup, and Blossom watch Bubbles play hopscotch. She threw a stone to the second square and hopped there. Blossom and Bell approve while Buttercup frowns.)
"That was sweet, Bubbles!" Blossom complimented brightly with a cheerful smile as she stared at her sister.
"What's the point of this game, anyway?" Buttercup asked calmly in annoyance with a frown and with crossed arms as she stared at Bubbles.
"Hmph!" Bubbles huffed in annoyance with a frown and with crossed arms as she unpleased with Buttercup's negative attitude.
"Oh, don't be like that, Buttercup. I personally enjoy this kind of game. Anything with structure and rules is always a fun game to me," Bell commented calmly yet gently with a kind smile and with her hands out before crossing them as she stared at Buttercup.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. But I still think that it's stupid," Buttercup replied calmly in annoyance with a frown and with an eye roll while having her arms crossed as she glanced at Bell.
"Hmm...Well, now..." Bell muttered calmly yet awkwardly in disappointment with a frown and with crossed arms as she saw that Buttercup is still stubbornly sticking to her own opinion.
Just then, Mitch ran to a girl and tagged her on the back while exclaiming excitedly, "Tag! You're it!".
(After that, he ran away while the girl laughed happily and chased after him and the other kids. We see them scattering around everywhere in a game of tag. The girls were momentarily at a loss as they wondered what in the world was happening.)
Whoa! Everyone's running from that girl! It's like she's been infected!" Blossom exclaimed in shock with an alarmed look on her face as she stared at the kids.
"Maybe she's a freak," Buttercup suggested calmly in slight concern with a confused look on her face as she watched the kids run around too.
"Yeah, and they hate her!" Bubbles exclaimed in concern with a worried look on her face as she stared sadly at the girl tagging another girl.
"Oh, dear...This is very concerning. Who knows what will happen if we get infected. Maybe...Maybe we'll become freaks too," Bell commented calmly in concern with a solemn yet worried look on her face while holding onto her yellow headband as she watched the girl who got tagged chasing the other kids.
"Ooooh...I do hope not," Bubbles muttered calmly yet weakly in worry while covering her mouth with her hands as she kept watching the kids run around.
Suddenly, the newly tagged girl appeared and touched Bubbles on the arm while exclaiming cheerfully in amusement, "Tag! You're it!".
"Oh, no! I've been infected!" Bubbles cried out in sadness and in concern as she quickly stared at her arm with a very distressed look on her face.
"Alright, what's going on here?" Mitch asked calmly in confusion with a bewildered look on his face as he walked towards the girls.
"I've been infected," Bubbles cried much softly this time with a saddened look on her face while having her hands up as she and her sisters stared at Mitch.
Mitch face-palmed himself as he saw that she does not know the common playground game known as tag before correcting calmly with his hands out, "You're not in-fected. It's just a game!".
"Wait. Seriously? But it looks so...chaotic..." Bell responded calmly yet nervously with an alarmed yet concerned look on her face as she was taken aback by this information.
"Yeah. So? We like it," Mitch answered calmly yet casually in a nonchalant manner with a frown and with a shrug as he stared at Bell.
"..." Bell was speechless at that while crossing her arms again as she now felt reluctant to join a game that is chaotic in nature, which is the exact opposite of her preferred game style.
"A game?! Neat!" Blossom exclaimed cheerfully in excitement as she looked eager to play already.
"Yeah! How do we play?!" Buttercup asked excitedly with an enthusiastic look on her face as she stared at Mitch.
Mitch groaned in annoyance as he face-palmed himself again before he explained and instructed calmly with a little smile, "Ugh. Okay, look. It's very simple. Bubbles, tag me".
(He stretches his arm to Bubbles for emphasis, however, she stares hesitantly at it in worry.)
"Come on, it's okay," Mitch encouraged calmly with a patient smile while shaking his arm a little until Bubbles very slowly she reaches forward and quickly pokes him on the arm before she quickly withdraws from him.
Mitch then explained calmly yet brightly in amusement with a confident grin and with a fist up while having his hands out and tagging Buttercup for emphasis, "Alright, now, I'm it, and all you gotta to do to play is tag someone else; and they're it!"
But just as when Mitch walked out, he quickly walked back in while exclaiming brightly and pointing at Buttercup for emphasis before running away, "By the way, you're it!".
"Awesome! I'm it! What do I do?! What do I do?! What do I do?! Buttercup exclaimed brightly in excitement with a huge, eager smile while looking around and while shaking her arms.
Mitch yelled back in amusement with a huge grin while running away, "Just tag someone else! And they're it!".
(Buttercup briefly looked at him in uncertainty until her eyes shifted over to her sisters and looked mischievous. Blossom, Bell, and Bubbles looked at each other uneasily before looking back at Buttercup as they all except for Bell had nervous smiles planted on their faces. Blossom and Bubbles then ran off slowly without Bell while Buttercup stared at her with a huge grin and with a lowered eyebrow.)
"What's the matter, Bell? Want to join in for some fun?" Buttercup asked calmly yet teasingly in amusement with a mischievous smile and with a lowered eyebrow as she stared at Bell.
"Umm...Uhh...N-No, thank you, Buttercup. You can count me out. Even though I now know the rules to this game, I still think that it is very chaotic...at least to me anyway," Bell declined calmly yet awkwardly in nervousness with a sheepish look on her face while placing her hands in front of her and backing away from Buttercup before she stood to the side and crossed her arms to show her that she meant by what she said.
"Heh! Suit yourself then! Meanwhile, Blossom, Bubbles, and I are going to have some real fun!" Buttercup exclaimed brightly in amusement with a smug smile and with a casual shrug as she stared at Bell before looking mischievous again.
(Buttercup then pursued after her other sisters since she gave them a head-start thanks her talking to Bell. Blossom and Bubbles were giggling in amusement as they ran. Buttercup looked determined as she ran after them. Bell simply watched them all run from a distance just like the rest of the children as well as the Professor and Ms. Keane. As Blossom looked back, she could see Buttercup catching up to her and Bubbles.)
Blossom then exclaimed brightly in determination, "Time to put it into overdrive, Bubbles!".
(Soon, Blossom and Bubbles sped up in tempo with the music in the background, quickly passing by Ms. Keane, the Professor, Bell, and the other schoolchildren. Buttercup senses this and likewise increases her speed. The two girls saw where this is going and again increased their speed, their eyes clenched shut in concentration. As the girls continue to increase their speed, the music reaches a frantic pace, and the scenery becomes a speedy blur. As Buttercup races forward, a green trail begins to emanate behind her, and a streak of fire issues from her feet.)
(Bubbles, looking blissfully unaware of her sister's proximity, is caught unawares by Buttercup as she gave her a full-force shove, sending her careening out of control.)
"Tag! You're…IT!" Buttercup yelled triumphantly while drawing out the "you're" word as Bubbles is sent grinding onto the pavement and crashing into a huge wall on the side of the school.
CRASH!
...
(The schoolyard audience leaps back in shock and in fear while looking completely speechless after seeing that, but they were all surprised again when Bubbles burst out of the roof in a blue parabolic arc, feet jackknifing downwards as she falls.)
CRASH!
"I'm gonna tag you guys now!" Bubbles yelled back in determination with a mischievous look on her face as she approached the spot were Blossom and Buttercup stood.
(Back to ground level; the two girls narrowly avoided Bubbles as she slammed hard into the pavement, creating a loud crash, a dust cloud, and a large crater.)
CRASH!
(As she slowly pops her head out of the hole, Blossom and Buttercup are a good ten yards away, standing straight and looking at their deposed sister. Bell only looked shocked as she slapped her hand over her mouth.)
"My word...Just look at all that chaos...This...can't be good..." Bell muttered calmly yet nervously in worry with a shocked yet concerned look on her face as she watched her sisters from afar.
Meanwhile, Buttercup was just amused as she taunted Bubbles with a haughty laugh, "Ha-ha! You missed us!".
...
(It was silent for a moment as Bubbles stood there pensively before she quickly smashes them into a house across the street.)
CRASH!
Bubbles giggled happily before exclaiming suddenly in victory, "Ha ha! Tag! You re it!".
(The camera pans out to show the destroyed house, and the skyline of Townsville. As the girls' voices fade out, the results of their mayhem become very apparent, as explosions, crashes, flying trees, cars, and cows show evidence their destruction. Soon enough, the girls ending up playing a very extreme game of tag.)
"No, no, no! I'm not!" Blossom cried out in amusement as two trees fell down behind the house and out of sight followed by laughter that could only be from Buttercup.
CRASH!
CRASH!
"Hahaha! Tag!" Buttercup yelled in victory with a laugh as not only did another tree flew up into the air only to fall back down again; the same thing happened to a car.
CRASH!
VROOOOM!
BOOM!
(It must have exploded where it had landed since smoke and fire flared way up in the disaster.)
"Missed me!" Blossom yelled back tauntingly in amusement just as a cow cried as it soared up the sky before falling back down and out of sight.
MOO!
"No, you are it!" Bubbles yelled back in amusement.
"Missed me!" Buttercup jeered playfully in amusement followed by more of the signature zooming sounds that accompanied their light trail although nothing could be seen from this perspective.
"Tag!" Blossom yelled back victoriously in amusement as all the kids including Bell kept staring in either absolute astonishment or in absolute concern at the scene as their pupils slowly reached towards the city.
"Tag! Hahaha!" Bubbles yelled happily in amusement while laughing a bit as a few kids blinked in surprise with their mouths opened wide and with one or two of their hands near their mouths.
(More infectious laughter and zooming sounds followed afterward.)
Bell looked even more concerned as she sighed a little to try to calm herself while muttering quietly, "(Sigh)...I'm going to regret doing this...But...I have to. Besides, this chaotic game has gone too long enough for my liking".
After steeling her resolve, Bell then flew up and zoomed towards her sisters while yelling out in concern, "Hey! Girls! Wait up! Slow down! You all need to calm down!".
"Haha! No way!" Bubbles yelled back happily in amusement after hearing Bell's yells.
"Yeah! Try to catch up!" Buttercup challenged happily in amusement after hearing Bell's yells as well.
"Missed me!" Blossom exclaimed back in amusement and in excitement after dodging Buttercup again.
(Their voices trail off into the distance, as a slow pan shows the schoolchildren looking onward in gaping astonishment. The scene then suddenly zooms in on the Professor and Ms. Keane. As the teacher stares blankly at what has just transpired, the Professor grins sheepishly before he takes this convenient opportunity to leave unnoticed through the quite-ample new doorway. The scene then cuts to the Professor rushing off from school in his car. His license plate reads PRFDADY as he speeds toward the city properly.)
(We then cut to a view of the skyline itself. All is peaceful for a moment until the camera pulls back a bit to reveal it as part of a billboard. Across the top are the words "YOU ARE NOW LEAVING THE CITY OF TOWNSVILLE". Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom flew over it and raced along.)
"Whee!" Bubbles cried out in joy as she and Buttercup, and Blossom zoomed over a sight with a perfect photo of the city's skyscrapers while Blossom bursts through the sign since she's the one currently 'it'.
SMASH!
(Bell just kept chasing behind the girls, but unfortunately for her, she's the slowest of the group. She's trying desperately to keep up with them and trying to convince them to stop this chaotic game of tag but to no avail as they are busy laughing a lot in amusement.)
"Oh, dear, this is bad. I can only imagine how terrified the Professor must be as my sisters keep playing this unstructured game. I wish that we had played tic-tack-toe instead. It's a much quieter game than this," Bell commented calmly to herself in concern and in regret with a saddened look on her face while shaking her head as she chased slowly behind the girls.
Meanwhile, the Professor chases all four of them as speeds down the street and dodges the debris with his car while exclaiming in alarm, "Girls, no! Wait!".
(Now the game of tag moves into the heart of the city, with Bubbles and Buttercup zip around buildings to avoid their tagged sister as it focuses in on Blossom, her red bow swept back by the wind as she makes several hair-pined turns. In a rear view, as she starts to catch up to her other sisters, they speed up, setting all two of them off in a dazzling whirl of 90 degree turns through the city streets. As they fly, they drag items from papers to cars in the vacuum of their wake. A red ball is also seen bouncing merrily along. Bell does her best to catch up with her sisters since she was worried as she gives out a burst of speed that causes her to fly faster than she had ever been but that only goes for at least thirty seconds.
Once she reached Blossom, Bell exclaimed in concern with a worried look on her face, "Blossom! Please! Stop! You're the most sensible one of the group! Stop this chaotic game now! This is just too much!".
"Aww, lighten up, Bell! What's the worst that could happen?!" Blossom exclaimed back in amusement with a playful look on her face.
(Blossom then sped past Bell while she stared back at her in disappointment since she didn't listen to her. After speeding up a bit, Blossom then gasped and grinded her feet to a hard stop. She cuts a long gash in the pavement, going through an intersection, and finally coming to a stop in front of two startled people on the sidewalk. When she turned around, she can see that Bell was still behind since she was pretty slow. This gave Blossom ample time to make her to move to find her sisters. Using her supersonic hearing, Blossom cups her arm to her ear, hearing Buttercup's joyful laughter and Bubbles' taunting.)
"Can't catch me!" Bubbles exclaimed happily in the distance.
(Blossom was standing near the building that reads 801 on it. Pausing momentarily to decide to turn left or right, Blossom then zips off to the right as she finally made her decision, leaving the two onlookers to stare at her trail before narrowly avoiding the flying debris that strikes the buildings front, notably a car, whose collision is acute from several angles. Bell as well as the Professor are not far behind, hanging a hard right to follow Blossom. While Bell kept chasing after Blossom with concern and frustration etched on her face, the Professor stopped his car briefly as face is marked with worry.)
"Oh, Blossom, why now of all times that you had to be a free spirit?" Bell complained calmly in frustration with a grimace and with furrowed eyebrows as she kept chasing her sister in determination.
Meanwhile, the Professor exclaimed in even more concern, "Oh, no!".
(The same red ball bumps into the Professor's car and continues down Blossom's path. The scene changes to Blossom, keeping her in a fixed distance and focus now on her running on the ground. She zoomed down so fast that her arms were half-folded in, turning right left and right all the while having a focused grin plastered on her face as she ran the path on the road behind her, which glowed orange before breaking up afterward, leaving a cut path into the road. She was now a pink blur, leaving a path of debris in her wake that zigzagged rather like zebra stripe which then left a canyon-sized streak afterwards.)
(Meanwhile, nearby, Buttercup shot through the air carelessly. Just as Blossom shot down a three-way intersection, Buttercup turns left past her. Swiveling around, Blossom pursued down Buttercup's path. The red-headed girl worked her arms furiously as she pursues Buttercup's flying streak above and in front of her. They flew right, left, left again, and then a sharp right. Bell sadly chased behind Blossom and Buttercup but still too slow to catch up.)
(Meanwhile, on a busy road inside a black van, a tall, thin, long-haired, young, male driver and his companion a shorter, fatter, black-haired fellow were at ease until the two girls zoom past them into busy traffic. Crying out in scared voices, the driver brakes hard and jerks left, ramming into a large store windowpane. Bell gasped in shock and slapped mouth with her hands after seeing the awful damage her sisters had created. She could only hope that she won't get caught up in this mess, but something is telling her that she will get involved one way or another.)
(However, this situation went unnoticed by Blossom who shot between and around several more cars, destroying and breaking some of them. Looking back behind her, she admires her handiwork then gasps again as she looks forward and notices the traffic jam in front of her. She narrowly zig-zags between the car lanes and up onto the side of the adjacent buildings, leaving a similar grooving pattern behind her. Winding through a gap, she scaled a few feet up the building at the side, now smashing glass instead of tarmac. As she shot down the street at a sideways' angle, the glass fell behind her in a trail.)
"Whee!" Bubbles squealed happily in amusement with eyes closed and arms outstretched as the blue streak of Blossom's sister passes her.
"Huh?!" Blossom exclaimed in surprise and in confusion after seeing her sister fly by in the opposite direction.
(She slowed down and returned to ground again until she briefly stopped at a street corner. Concentrating, she located Bubbles' desired direction, looping around the stationary cars, briefly on parallel buildings, and back the way that she had come. Bell, however, was frustrated yet again after seeing her sister going a different direction than before. While grunting a bit, she turned around and kept chasing after Blossom.)
(Pursuing the motion-blurred blue streak that Bubbles was producing, Blossom ended up scaling a full three blocks before she suddenly halted at an empty T-junction as she looked from right to left and back again with a wide, open mouth. Rapidly, she zoomed down an adjacent street then another until finally stopping at yet another T-junction.)
(Briefly scanning sideways, Blossom then looked upwards until she smirked mischievously. Her pupils contracted rapidly, with a sound like a lens instrument focusing in on a distant object. It's a large, glass, dome ball atop of a building, similar in form to a disco ball. The surrounding street reflection in it showed a thin, blue streak whizzing about Tron-styled around the various turns and twists of the streets. Blossom saw that she was heading straight for a stairway that led underground, which might have been seven blocks away, but leads to an underground train line.)
"Subway, huh?" Blossom commented dryly with a smirk as her pupils re-dilated to normal size.
(She scopes the nearest subway entrance, which was mere yards away, before she shot down the subway's east tunnel. In a spiraling, brightly colored streak, she traveled through the platform and spun down the empty meter line. At the same time, blissfully unaware of Blossom's plans, Bubbles closed in on the west subway entrance, still with her arms out and eyes closed while squealing cheerfully in amusement.)
(Blossom looped through the tunnels, leaving a scorched trail in the cylindrical walls of the train's tunnels. She finally exited the west subway and stood confidently at the entrance. Bubbles squealed in joy before yelping in surprise after she saw her sister. She quickly hit the pavement and grinded to a halt, mere inches from her sister.)
"Tag. You're it," Blossom muttered calmly yet tauntingly in victory as touched Bubbles' hand.
(She then floated up into the air away from Bubbles while sticking out her tongue and blowing a raspberry toward her for emphasis.)
Bubbles looked shocked for a moment before looking quite cross. She immediately burst upwards a second later at high velocity, leaving a massive crater behind her. The debris hits several buildings and narrowly misses the Professor's car.)
BOOM!
CRASH!
He gasped as he spots the girls before exclaiming, "Ah! There they a-Oooh!"
(He gets no further as he drives into Bubbles' crater and goes airborne off its tip. The car then lands neatly on all four tires and does not suffer any visible damage from doing so—and the red ball once again bounces into view and off the vehicle. The Professor remained motionless since he was still recovering from that shocking, little, car stunt.)
(Meanwhile, Bell finally caught up to where Blossom once was while being out of breath despite having flying powers.)
"(Pant Pant Pant)...Of course, I have to be the one who gets easily tired. How will I ever stop those girls if they're always faster than me? I just...(Sigh)...No, Bell, don't give up. You must keep going. Now then, if I were them, where would I...?" Bell muttered calmly yet tiredly in exhaustion with a deep frown and with a sigh while panting a bit as she looked around for Blossom and her sisters until she turned around and looked up.
Her eyes lit up in surprise as she exclaimed in shock while pointing at Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup "Aha! Right there! There they are!".
After exclaiming that, she immediately zoomed after them after regaining her breath while yelling in concern, "Girls! Stop! The game is over! You hear me?! Over!".
(Simultaneously, Blossom and Buttercup stopped right next to the glass ball after hearing Bell's yelling.)
Buttercup exclaimed tauntingly in amusement to Bell while having a playful look on her face, "You snooze, you lose, Bell!".
"Watch out! Here she comes!" Blossom warned suddenly in alarm while pointing at Bubbles since she is now the pursuer.
(Narrowly missing her two, flying sisters, she backpedals by pushing off from the glass globe, which we can now clearly see it as the logo of Olive Corp.)
(As the nearby pedestrians scream in horror, the impact shatters the narrow base, and the sphere rolls off the building top. The globe smashes into a street way and starts rolling downwards, the surroundings mirrored in its surface. It hits a building at a street corner and turns onto another road, smashing stores left and right as it bumps back-and-forth down the street. Loud crashes can be heard as the ball does this.)
CRASH!
CRASH!
CRASH!
CRASH!
(A distant shot shows Blossom and Buttercup together, curving around various buildings; Bubbles, smashed off the buildings' tops in her course, denting aerials and twisting air vents; and poor Bell flying slowly behind them all as she tried to catch up to them. Soon, they all headed towards ground.)
(Just as the glass globe rolled past the near traffic jam, Blossom and Buttercup few upward from the cars. Bubbles flew upward too until she hit the road hard with such impact that the road curled upwards like a tidal wave. In a sequence, all the cars were flipped into the air as the waves of asphalt hit them ahead of this. Bubbles pursued Blossom back to sky level. Once they were gone, Buttercup peeked her head out from behind the corners. As she moved out onto the road, she saw Bubbles' blue streak chasing Blossom's pink streak as they still blast off from the buildings. She chuckled mischievously in amusement of this, unaware of the incoming, tarmac wave.)
Buttercup laughed cockily in amusement as she exclaimed brightly with a proud look on her face, "Hahaha! Man, what suckers!"
(Just immediately after she had said that sentence, the road wave reached her, and she is sent spinning vertically into the air with a blank expression on her face. Bubbles zooms up to her and tags her just at the height of her spin.)
"Tag! You're it!" Bubbles whooped in victory as Blossom appeared next to them.
(Bell then looked slightly relieved as she saw that all three girls had stopped in place.)
"Oh, thank heavens. Please stay still. Please stay still. Please stay still," Bell replied calmly in a begging tone of voice with a hopeful smile as she zoomed towards the girls as fast as she could.
"You know...I have a really nice car," a smooth-talking gentleman mentioned calmly to a sexy woman sitting on the couch next to him inside a high class, upper-looking home that looks like an art-deco high above the city, completely unaware that the green car that barely missed Buttercup was hurtling towards the room's full-wall windows.
CRASH!
(Below, the Professor looks upwards at the high-story impact and cringed at the loud crash as glass rains down on his car.)
He spied the girls that had finally stopped high in the air in a circle before exclaiming in shock and in confusion, "Huh?!"
Bubbles and Blossom seemed to be taunting Buttercup, judging by their giggling and her pointed, angry expression while Bell was flying closer towards them.
"Tag! You're it!" They both shouted simultaneously before shooting off.
"Hey!" Buttercup yelled in annoyance with an irritated look on her face as she threw her arm up in the air before she shot after them too.
(Sadly, for Bell, they all left around the time she finally caught up to them.)
"Aww, come on!" Bell yelled in frustration with an exasperated look on her face as she slapped it with one hand before zooming after Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles.
(Blossom and Bubbles has disappeared behind a post-modern style building just before Buttercup appeared of it. She stopped dead in her tracks staring up at the plain building decked in various shade of blue. She looked left and right before she gave out a banshee scream as she angrily realizes that she lost them. Clearly agitated, she smashes right through the buildings in frustration. Bell raised her eyebrows in surprise of Buttercup's boorish response to this before rolling her eyes and shrugging a little as she followed her through the burning holes in the buildings.)
CRASH!
CRASH!
CRASH!
CRASH!
"She'll never find us up here!" Blossom exclaimed cheerfully in amusement as she and Bubbles were standing atop of a space needle on a Seattle-lookalike building while Buttercup kept crashing through more buildings and Bell following her.
CRASH!
CRASH!
CRASH!
"Do you hear something?" Blossom asked calmly in confusion with a bewildered look on her face.
BOOM!
(Just after Blossom asked that question, Buttercup immediately crashed through a sign labeled "GAS" atop a gasoline station. The explosion caused in a massive fireball which trailed Buttercup as she closed in on the giant needle. While she did that, Bell simply followed her, hoping that she finally reached her sisters at long last.)
"Whoa!" Blossom and Bubbles yelped simultaneously in shock after seeing that.
"It's Buttercup!" Bubbles yelled in worry with a nervous look on her face as she pointed at Buttercup.
"Run!" Blossom yelled in worry after Bubbles with a nervous look too as she started to run.
(Bubbles ran with her sister as they tried to run off the building but only sent the circle support into a spiral. However, it was fruitless as Buttercup already reached them and tapped their shoulders.)
"Tag! You're both it!" Buttercup exclaimed victoriously with a proud look on her face as the fireball flared up behind them with their shadows cast against it.
"Hey!" Blossom interjected in annoyance with a deep frown and with furrowed eyebrows as she floated up a foot next to Buttercup and Bubbles while the explosion continued to expand behind them.
"We can't both be 'it'!" Blossom argued in annoyance with a deep frown and with furrowed eyebrows while gesturing with her hands as she stared at her sisters.
"Why not?" Buttercup asked calmly in confusion and in annoyance with a solemn frown and with her hands out as the explosion's glow had subsided and instead had a powerful fire crackling in the background.
"Tag!" Bubbles exclaimed suddenly with a little frown as she touched Blossom's chest.
What?! I can't be 'it' twice!" Blossom yelled in even more frustration as she glared at Bubbles while putting hands up before placing a hand to her chest.
"Why not?" Bubbles asked innocently in confusion with a sheepish look on her face.
(Blossom paused temporarily to think before looking pleased as she came up with a solution.)
"Okay then. Tag. Now, you guys are it," Blossom replied calmly in amusement with a pleased look on her face after tagging Buttercup and Bubbles before crossing her arms.
"Tag!" Buttercup exclaimed as she quickly tagged Blossom and Bubbles after that.
"Tag!" Bubbles exclaimed back as she quickly tagged Blossom and Buttercup while having a cheerful smile on her face.
"Hey! No tag backs!" Buttercup snapped in annoyance with a deep frown and with a glare before exclaiming in amusement with a playful look on her face as tagged Blossom, "Tag!".
"Tag!" Blossom exclaimed quickly in annoyance as she tagged Bubbles.
"Tag!" Bubbles exclaimed quickly too in annoyance as she tagged Buttercup.
(Eventually, all three of them kept tagging each other while spinning very fast in a circle as they all kept yelling "Tag!" over and over. Bell rolled her eyes again after seeing her sisters arguing with each other. She shook her head and kept flying after them.)
(Back down on the street, the Professor swerved his car around a corner thought street debris. Finally skidding to a halt, he let out an involuntary gasp as he stared straight through the holes in the buildings that Buttercup plowed into with the burning gas sign and the rotating tower visible beyond them. He could even see Bell flying towards them as he hoped that she will be the voice of reason in this scenario and not join them in the ensuing chaos that they had created with their extreme game of tag.)
(But just as when the girls finally decided who gets to be 'it', Bell then rammed into them, making them all crash onto the circular top of the space needle together. All three girls besides Bell groaned a bit in pain while being on their backs as they all stared up at her.)
"Geez, Bell, what took you so long? If you wanted to join in the game, you could've just asked," Blossom muttered calmly in slight annoyance with a frown and with a lowered eyebrow as she stared confusingly at Bell.
"Join the game? Join the game?!" Bell muttered calmly in shock before yelling in frustration as she looked flabbergasted before irritated as she glared hard at her sisters while being on her knees.
"What? Is there something wrong with what Blossom had said?" Bubbles asked calmly yet innocently in confusion with a curious look on her face as she glanced at Blossom while staring at Bell.
"What's wrong, you ask? Ha...Hahaha...Oh, yes, there is something wrong with that," Bell replied calmly yet sweetly in slight insane amusement with a wide, twitchy smile and with a raised eyebrow while chuckling a little in slight craziness as she nodded to the girls.
The girls looked at each other in confusion before Buttercup looked back at Bell and asked calmly in confusion, "Umm...And that is...?".
"Well, it's just that...ARE YOU GIRLS CRAZY?! JUST LOOK AT WHAT YOU GUYS HAD DONE TO THIS TOWN! DON'T YOU EVER UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CHAOTIC GAME SPELLS TROUBLE FOR EVERYONE?! WE COULD JUST BE PLAYING TIC-TAC-TOE INSTEAD! THAT GAME DOESN'T CAUSE CHAOS! THIS GAME DOES!" Bell replied calmly with a sweet look on her face before she shouted in frustration and in alarm with a furious, solemn look on her face as she shook each of the girls' shoulders one by one.
"Pff! Oh, relax, Bell, a little rough housing doesn't hurt anyone-" Buttercup scoffed calmly in amusement with a smug smile and with an eye roll as she waved a hand down at Bell.
"BUTTERCUP! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE CHAOS! I LIKE THINGS IN ORDER! I LIKE STRUCTURE! I LIKE HARMONY! IT'S RELAXING TO ME! THIS IS NOT HARMONY! IT'S PURE CHAOS!" Bell shouted some more in frustration and in alarm with a furious, solemn look on her face while pointing her hand into her other hand for emphasis as she glared hard at Buttercup.
"Buttercup's right, Bell. Why not have some fun playing tag with us?" Bubbles asked calmly yet innocently in amusement with a sweet smile on her face as she stared at Bell.
"ME?! JOIN YOU GIRLS IN THIS MADDENING GAME?! WHY I NEVER! ABSOLUTELY NOT! THAT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING I STAND FOR! I WILL NEVER PLAY THIS GAME! EVER! HMPH!" Bell shouted some more in frustration and in alarm with a furious, solemn look on her face while being appalled to the idea of playing tag with her sisters before crossing her arms and looking away from them.
Blossom then smiled lopsidedly as she replied calmly in amusement, "Sheesh, Bell, lighten up for once. Even I can have fun every once in a while, despite being the leader and all. Just calm down for a moment and play with us".
"NO! WAY!" Bell shouted back sharply in frustration with a furious look on her face while having her eyes closed and her arms crossed.
(Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup slowly looked at each other and grew smug looks on their faces as they all have the same idea. They all looked back at Bell and simultaneously tagged her.)
"Tag! You're 'it', Bell!" all three girls exclaimed brightly yet simultaneously in amusement with playful looks on their faces while pointing at Bell.
Bell then looked very alarmed after feeling the girls tag her and hearing them say that. She slowly looked back at the three girls with wide eyes and with a little frown as she was flabbergasted by this.
"...What?" Bell asked calmly in shock and in confusion with a flabbergasted look on her face as she stared at the girls.
"You heard us, Bell! You're it!" Blossom exclaimed cheerfully in amusement with a bright smile as she as well as her sisters flew back up to the air.
"Yeah! Come on, Bell! Tag us!" Buttercup exclaimed excitedly in amusement with an eager look on her face as she floated in the air with her sisters.
"We're waiting!" Bubbles taunted cheerfully in a sing-song tone while waving at Bell as she floated with her sisters too.
"..." Bell was speechless as she can't believe that her sisters are still willing to keep playing this crazy, chaotic game.
(Usually, she would keep her calm and try to be diplomatic about this. But this time, however, she is about ready to snap due to how frustrated she had with her sisters currently.)
'Come on, Bell. Stay calm. Don't give in to the chaos. Don't give in to the chaos.' Bell thought irritably in annoyance with gritted teeth and with steam fuming from her head.
"What's the matter, Bell? Think you can't tag us since you're so slow to begin with?" Blossom taunted calmly yet playfully in amusement with a mischievous smile and with a shrug as she stared at Bell.
'THAT TEARS IT!' Bell thought furiously in anger after hearing that taunt.
"YOU WANT ME TO PLAY?! THEN I'LL PLAY! GET BACK HERE YOU GIRLS!" Bell shouted in anger with a furious look on her face as she glared coldly at her sisters before chasing after them throughout the city.
"Ha! I knew it! I knew that she couldn't resist that!" Blossom exclaimed cheerfully in victory with a playful look on her face as she zoomed away from Bell.
"Haha! Yeah! You're such a stick-in-the-mud, Bell!" Buttercup teased calmly in amusement with a chuckle and with a playful look on her face as she zoomed away from Bell as well.
"It's true, Bell! Teehee! You're pretty funny whenever you're too serious!" Bubbles exclaimed cheerfully yet innocently in amusement with a giggle and with a playful look on her face as she zoomed away from Bell too.
"Grrrrr!" Bell growled in frustration as she chased after Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup as fast as she could.
(Cringing at this, the Professor swept his car and left after them after seeing that Bell had failed to convince them to stop playing tag. As smoke drifted from the fire blazing atop the gas station, the girls' trails moved rapidly faster around the city with their giggling punctuating the air that only provided the viewer to the numerous holes in buildings and smashed property lines. Litter and debris are everywhere along with other numerous forms of destruction.)
(And one person was watching this through the window into Townsville Hall's main office which was a large room with exquisite décor. The person was a short, bald man with a white mustache, a black top hat, and a monocle. His attention was completely held by the action the girls was doing all over the city, although we couldn't see his face. His posture showed that he meant serious business.)
"Oh, boy," he commented calmly yet solemnly at this.
(He immediately threw open the doors to the office after saying that while having an angry look plastered on his face. He has a sash across his chest that read "MAYOR".)
"Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy," he muttered calmly yet solemnly to himself while he scattered his feet down the red carpet as his fists were clenched.
(At the same time, the girls were weaving around each other constantly, the game order indistinguishable anymore by saying "Tag!" and "You re it!" as they kept tagging Bell repeatedly yet quickly before having her tagging them back. Bell was getting angrier and angrier by the minute as she kept getting tagged by her sisters. The Professor was driving as fast as he could while he desperately followed the girls' luminous trail.)
The Mayor marched through another set of double doors and walked past a line of architectural, white columns while repeatedly muttering, "Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy".
(The three girls besides Bell since she was furious were still doing the same, cheerful smiles plastered on their faces. The Professor screeched his car around the debris and Bubbles ' crater and kept driving by.)
"Oh, boy," the Mayor muttered calmly again yet a bit brighter this time as he came out onto the indoor steps that lead down to the major atrium.
"'Oh, boy' is right, Mayor," Ms. Sarah Bellum agreed calmly in somberness who assisted the Mayor dropped in beside him out of nowhere and matched his pace while having a clipboard in hand and having a huge brush of orange hair that concealing her face.
She was dressed as usual in a sexy, red outfit and had a low, attractive voice as she continued calmly in somberness, "It's terrible. The town is being destroyed by four girls with freakish powers! This is a very serious situation. What action do you propose we take?!".
"Tag! Tag! Tag!" the three girls yelled tauntingly as they weaved their way around each other past Bell while unknowingly heading straight for city hall.
(Bell gritted her teeth as she narrowed her focus onto the three girls and zoomed a bit faster towards them in determination. The Professor was less than a block behind them at this point, driving ever closer to them with panic written all over his face.)
(The camera then shows s long shot of the staircase—which is the third corridor in Townsville Hall—with the Mayor and Ms. Bellum at the bottom of it.)
"Don't worry, gentleman. The Mayor and I have the situation under control!" Ms. Bellum announced calmly yet solemnly in determination to a crowd of businessmen and attorneys crowding around the Mayor and her as they walk further down the atrium while the people in the background are running around everywhere in the chaos.
"Oh, boy!" the Mayor exclaimed slightly brightly in agreement while one of the businessmen shoved a paper anxiously into Sarah's face.
"I know, sir," Ms. Bellum agreed calmly in anger while walking beside him.
"Meanwhile, the girls were drawing closer towards Townsville's Hall while the Professor swerved around the wreckage of the orange car from before.)
"Oh, boy," the Mayor muttered calmly yet a bit brightly again as the door to Townville's Hall burst open and all those who worked there marched out in anger.
"You tell them, Mayor!" Ms. Bellum exclaimed solemnly as even more businessmen surrounded the two politicians now while she added in somberness, "Townsville will not stand for this kind of behavior!".
(The Professor finally moved his car out onto the road, leading directly to city hall. He gasped in shock upon seeing the girls flying above him as their trails approached the hall.)
"Uh, Mayor? Hello? City being destroyed? Where are you going?" Ms. Bellum asked calmly yet solemnly in confusion while gesturing to the Mayor as she and the anxious, worried crowd followed him down the white block right next to city hall behind the tall, white columns.
"Oh, boy," the Mayor muttered calmly in excitement this time, his thoughts still held by whatever he was heading.
(The tension was similarly increasing both for the girls who had reached maximum speed, for Bell who had already lost her patience, and for the Professor who could now see where they were going.)
"Mayor, what are you doing?! We're in a serious pickle!" Ms. Bellum ranted in frustration while gesturing to the Mayor again in exasperation.
"Exactly!" the Mayor exclaimed jovially as he stopped right in front of a food cart and made the group stop mid-stride, almost falling over.
(The three girls' light streaks were now less than 1000 meters away from the Mayor while they kept giggling in joy.)
"Get back here!" Bell exclaimed through gritted teeth and with furrowed eyebrows as she kept chasing her sisters.
"Girls! No!" the Professor cried out in alarm but to little avail.
(The Mayor coughed politely, his eyes on the vendor who was busying himself behind the cart that read "CUCOR PICKLES" while the people behind him stood back up again.)
"Hello..." the Mayor greeted calmly with an eager look on his face.
(The vender crouched out of sight briefly before standing back up. He looked identical to the Mayor but with green overalls, a black mustache and an Italian hat.)
"Hello..." He greeted calmly yet drawly in a friendly Italian accent while looking eager as well.
Tilting his head, the Mayor raised a finger as he ordered calmly, "Will you give me the usual Cucor?".
(Little did the short man know that the three girls aside from Bell were laughing just down the road coming ever closer to the hall.)
Cucor kissed fingertips before fishing around for the juicy pickle while exclaiming jovially in amusement, "Yes! I have a fine vintage for you here—picked fresh today!"
The fat, green pickle as it is was held up in a set of tongs while the Mayor exclaimed enthusiastically in joy as he saw the juice drip from all its crevices, "Oh, boy!".
(The Mayor started to lift the pickle toward his mouth as it opened wide. The girls drew even closer as they tagged and rolled sideways acting just the like other schoolchildren's playing their favorite game. Bell simply face-palmed herself before deciding to give herself another short burst of speed as she hoped that she will catch them again this time. The Mayor stretched his mustache lips even wider as the pickle drew within six inches.)
(The three girls shot over the frontal steps of Town Hall with their eyes not averted to where they were heading. Bell was getting on the girls' tail as she was ready to ram into them again. The Mayor had brought the pickle within an inch now and was slowly moving it closer. Then within seconds, the girls had headed straight for Cucor's pickle cart with Bell finally ramming into them.)
"GOTCHA!" Bell shouted in victory with a furious yet devious grin on her face after grabbing hold of all three of her sisters.
(Unfortunately for her, it was already too late.)
KABOOM!
(With an explosion that created enough smoke to shield the impact, the girls crashed straight into the food cart. The smoke faded away to reveal Ms. Bellum and the businessmen out cold a few feet away with both the Mayor and Cucor who slumped over unconsciously at what used the to be the pickle cart. In the crater where the four girls lay, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were giggling uncontrollably unaware of hearing a car screeching to a halt nearby as the Professor jogged over to them. Bell, however, was just stunned as she couldn't believe that she had allowed herself to get involved with such chaos.)
"..." Bell was speechless as she stared at the ground with wide, blank eyes and with a gaped mouth.
"Girls! Girls! Are you okay?!" the Professor exclaimed in shock and in concern with a worried look on his face as he stopped next them, looking down at then, and picked them up in his arms while kneeling on the ground.
Bell simply laid limp within the Professor's arms while still looking flabbergasted while Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup exclaimed cheerfully yet simultaneously in amusement as they tagged the Professor together, "Tag! You're it, Professor!".
(As they kept laughing, Bell and the Professor were speechless at this while his arms slump a bit by his side.)
(Somber music plays as the Mayor laid there in the crater surrounded by numerous dirty and decapitated pickles that had burst from the cart. While the girls aside from Bell continued to laugh, the destruction on the halls remained with a gaping hole into the place where the impact had occurred. Moving out of the hall, the damage was everywhere past the Professor 's sleek, white car, which was parked next to the front steps, holes were poking out of building at an even turn with upturned cars littered around the ground and with rubbish stuck to everything. The people were oddly scarce too, seeing as most had flee to safety upon seeing the flying streak that was the girls.)
(The true extent of the destruction is shown as the streets remained quiet until the glass globe, that Blossom had used to catch Bubbles and which Bubbles had subsequently knocked over, came out of an adjacent street at a very slow speed, knocking one last dent in a structure heavily in the process while also setting off a nearby car alarm.)
CRASH!
(Once the camera panned back, the entire city looked like it had been subjected to half an apocalypse. As darkness returned, the mood of the place similarly looked gloomy. To add even more insult to injury, the neck of the space needle finally caved in due to the damage done to it thanks to the girls' running earlier and had its circular end dropped to the ground below. "Why'? Or 'how' should be the question that you should be asking here. How did this horrible situation happen?)
(Well...it was all because of four, super-powered, little girls.)
