In Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, the students are learning about basic math until Ms.Keane made it complex and everyone just went along with it. Bix scratches his head as he tries his best to understand it but his not like Blossom.

The bell the rang which caught Ms.Keane by surprise and she told them it's recess as she opens the backyard and Kids rushes outside while Bix walks slowly with a book in hand.

Bix finds an quiet spot to hunkered down and read his book peacefully. While he was reading, he felt someone is watching him from a distance but he ignored and kept reading his book. Minutes have pass and feeling of being watched is making him more uncomfortable which caused him to look around for whose the culprit and his landed on a Blonde girl with twin tails, grey dress with a star on the middle on her chest.

"uhhhh...hi?" He greets while have his hand stub.

"Hi" she said with a joyful tone "whatcha doin?"

"Oh..umm just reading" he nervously answer which caused her to giggle.

"Did I say something funny?"

"No, I thought your just a nerd" she said with a smile on her face

"Huh? That not very nice to say" he told her in an irate tone

"I was just kidding" she said as she sits beside him "so, whatcha readin' about?"

"Well...It might be boring for you" he told her

"Try me"

"Okay, it's about planets in our solar system" he explains

"Wow, that is boring" she said in a teasing tone and a giggle follows after which caused Bix to be irritated.

"I told so" he said while pouting and crossing his arms

She giggled at his response before she said "come on let's play instead. it's alot more fun that reading a crummy book."

"is that why you staring at me? To play?"

"You look kinda lonely and I thought a friend would fix that" she said

"Well I'm not but you can stay and read this together" He said with a smile

"Let's play! You can do that on home anyways" she said with a pout

*Sigh* she not gonna leave huh?/ He thought as he closed his book and stood up.

"Alright fine" he said and girl stood up in joy then grabs his wrist in order to drag him to other kids.

"I'm Gina by the way" she said while dragging him to the other kids.

"Bix"

After she dragged Bix, she introduced them to each kid and they playing games like tag and leap frog which made Bix feel happy and just enjoyed the moment with other kids.

--

After school, all the children went there seperate way and Bix waited for the Professor while he sat at the edge of the sidewalk. While he waits for the Professor, he checks his watch to see other features that it has. he randomly pressed a button and a small knife popped out on the front of the watch which confused Bix on why would the professor install a knife. He push the button again and the blade retracted.

He fumbles the watch for a bit until the screen of the watch opened up to reveal a small piece of paper. He grabs the small paper and inspect the paper with nothing written on it. He shrugs then puts it back on the cavity of the watch and it automatically closes. He then fiddles with it some more until a hand place on his shoulder which caused him to look up and saw tall ginger hair woman that covers her face and wearing a red suit.

"Hello there, Is your name Bix?" Said the woman

"Yes, pretty lady" he answers politely "who are you?"

"Well my name is Ms Bellum, you little charmer" she answer while teasing him on the last sentence "And the Professor asked me to come pick you up."

Bix looked at her with suspicion as he stood up and backed away

"My dad told me to not talk to stranger" he told her which she giggled at his demeanor

"You father is right but don't worry about me, I'm actually the mayor of Townsville" she said in a matter-of-fact tone

"Wait, you're the mayor? Who was that man I saw on tv? Isn't he the mayor?" He asked curiously

"Well that man was the mayor and he likes to do speeches every now and then but I'm the newly elected mayor"

"Really? Then you're the one who sends us the message."

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this would be the first time we've met then" Ms Bellum stated

"Yep" he answers with a grin on his face "what are doing here ms.Bellum?"

"Well, your father asked me to come pick you up from school. Poor man, getting too busy with work lately" she said with a sympathetic tone

"Really? Okay..." He said with a sad tone in his voice.

Ms Bellum kneels down and rubs his back then picks him. Ms Bellum hummed at his stature.

/His a lot smaller that his sisters.../ She thought

"Hey, it's okay. Your father is working hard for all your sakes and you have your sister to make time to have sort of sibling activities" she reassures

"I know...but I want to play with dad for a even a short time."

Ms.Bellum sighs in empathy as she walks towards her car and they drive off to the Powerpuff residence.

After 2 minutes, they've reached the house with Ms.Bellum parking in front the home. Ms.Bellum looked at the back and saw that Bix is fast asleep which caused her smile at his peaceful face. She exits her car then goes to the back seat of the car and opens it up and picks up Bix into her right arm before she closes the door of the car and walks towards the house.

She walks up to the door of the house and she knocks it with her free hand. Few seconds later, the door open and the other side it was Bubbles who answered.

"Oh hello, Ms.Bellum. What brings you here?" Bubbles asked

"Hello Bubbles, I just here to drop off your little brother" she said as she pass Bix onto Bubbles.

"Thank you, Ms.Bellum" she said happily as she flies up to Bix's room.

Ms.Bellum was about to head out until a loud crash was heard from The Professor's Laboratory. She investigate the loud sound as she comes closer to the laboratory and she open the door and heads down the stairs.

As she heads down, she heard two voices which is the voices of The Professor and Blossom with the latter profusely apologizing.

"Blossom it's okay. It just a little mistake" the Professor reassured.

"NO! Something just pushed me to make that idiotic mistake! I'll find who did tha-"

"Blossom, it's okay" he put his hand on her shoulder which caused her look at him "it was just a little mistake."

Blossom sighs and nods at the Professor. They start cleaning up the mess while Ms.Bellum was watching them clean up the mess.

"I see you got this under control" Ms Bellum commented which caused the duo to jump at surprise.

"Ms.Bellum, Didn't see you there" Blossom said

"What bring you here Sara?" The Professor asked

"I just came by to drop off your son and I heard a loud noise." She explains

"Oh thank you for picking him up, Sara. with all my work, I can't find time anymore."

"I'll take my leave, Professor" Blossom said as she leaves the lab

While Blossom leaves the room, she saw a little Purple streak behind the counter and onto the window which look caused her to be angry and briskly walks out the room.

And now two adults, alone in one room. The Professor nervously cleans the counter while Ms.Bellum looks around the room.

"How many..." Ms.Bellum vaguely asked

"H-How many what?" He stuttered

"How many hour you've spend, working..."

"Oh umm, 15 hours a day or 15.59 hours if you want it to be specific" he answered

Ms.Bellum stop on her tracks and faces him with a sad look on her covered face.

"You poor poor man, work 15 hours a day just to keep the lights on"

"Well it's not all bad, now if you excuse me Sara, I have to-" before he could finish, Ms.Bellum places her hand on to his which caused his face to burn up and looks at her. "-work..."

"Please take a break" she said with sympathetic tone "you'll hurt yourself if you keep going like this"

The Professor looks at her with conflict then he slip his hand away from hers

"I can't" he looked down with a sad look "I get that Bix's is struggling to have my attention but this is what best for him and no other way"

"For a scientist, you're not that smart" she said to him

"Huh?" He said with a surprised tone "what do you mean?"

"Let me rephrase. you a, man with knowledge, person who always finds a way to solve the problem yet a simple balancing problem he can't solve. Why is that?"

"I-i..." He stuttered

"Professor, I've known you for a long time. You've solved the problems that not man can handle and even help the girls with your suit. This? This balance you can't solve"

The Professor sighed and walks up to a mirror and looks at himself

"Being one person isn't fun.." he said "it's been hard to keep up with my children. Before Bix, the girls we're ignoring me more and more that it became second nature to come to me for just advice...problems...or they're hurt. I know they maturing but they could've atleast hang out with there old man. But when he was made, I had the opportunity to grab that feeling when they were young again, like the old time but I know. It'll be the same"

"I'm just one man in a ever expanding space" he said while touch the mirror

He then felt a warm embrace wrap around him which he caused him to widen his eyes in surprise.

"Then I'll make it two" she said as she embrace him more tightly

He smiles lovingly and grabs her hands tightly.

He then turns around to her then parts some of her hair to reveal her lips and deeply kisses her which she didn't resist and leans in to it.

In the girls room, they are staring at them with x-ray vision with smiles and giggles except for Buttercup,who gags at the sight, and Blossom reading a book with a sour look.

"Oh my god, this so cute" Bliss expressed in joy "we finally getting a mom!"

"Bleh! Kissing, soooo gross" Buttercup said In disgust

"What so gross about it? This is perfectly normal" Bunny inquiries

"Or it reminds you of Elme, hmm?" Bubbles teased which caused Buttercup to blush

"No it don't!" Buttercup shouted which caused her sisters chuckle except Blossom

And all the four siblings continued talking to each other while Blossom closes her book and got up from her bed and heads outside of the room.
