Like Father, Like Daughters
[We open our story on a snow globe with the Powerpuff Girls appearing to be flying in the center of it. The crank on the side is turned and begins to play a tune similar to the original theme. We pan in towards the center of the snow globe as a twinkle takes us into the present]
[As we enter the Island of Anima, the music takes a mix of the Powerpuff Girls' theme and Deck the Halls, using the instruments present in the original composition as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are shown flying through the air]
Blossom: First one back has to clean up the pine needles!
Bubbles: Well, it's not gonna be meeeeeeeeee!
Buttercup: We'll see about that, I was made for speed!
[Buttercup suddenly shoots ahead of her sisters before they dash off to catch up]
[Cut to Gordon and Spencer racing along the mainline, neck and neck with each other with their eyes narrowed in confidence. They're suddenly taken aback by the Powerpuff Girls shooting past above them with streaks of red, blue, and green]
Gordon: Oh!
Spencer: I say!
Gordon: Oooooh, those three again…
[Cut to Pine Station as Muffin and Socks are shown standing on the platform, pan out to reveal their parents Stripe and Trixie standing next to them, along with Diaspro, Frankie, Clifford, Foxy Loxy, Zeke, Lilo, Stitch, Merlin, Tinker Bell, Peter Pan, Gaston, Derpy, Doctor Whooves, Quick Draw, Wally, Ms. Keane, and Dexter coming up with a stack of boxes in his hands]
[In the background, Peter Sam is waiting at the platform with a train of coaches while Luke passes by on the other platform with a train of slate. On the standard gauge platform]
[At that moment, the trio whizzes past the station, stirring up a gush of wind across the platforms, Dexter is caught up in it, spinning around like a top and causing his boxes to scatter everywhere]
Dexter: WOOOO-DOH!
Blossom: Oop, sorry, Dexter!
[Dexter's eyes roll around before he puts his hands to his head and scowls]
Dexter: Honestly, what kind of lunatic thought giving preschoolers powers was a good idea?
[Cut to the girls approaching Toon City before showing them navigating their way around the buildings and skyscrapers. We then cut to Professor Utonium driving in his car back home before panning up to show the girls coming up from behind]
[As the professor turns, the trio dashes straight ahead as Blossom takes the lead. Bubbles comes alongside her before Buttercup storms in, determined to win the race. Suddenly, a sneaky idea comes into her head]
Buttercup: Hey, is that Santa Claus flying overhead?
Bubbles: Oh! Where, where?!
[Buttercup suddenly zaps ahead of the other two]
Buttercup: Haha, made ya' look!
Blossom: Hey, that's cheating!
[Blossom takes off in hot pursuit after Buttercup as Bubbles follows behind]
[Cut to Buttercup in the air as the sight of the family house comes into view, decked out in colorful lights on the front and the bushes]
Buttercup: Yes! Victory is mine!
[Just as she says this, Blossom suddenly begins to do circles around Buttercup]
Buttercup: Hey! You can't do that!
Blossom: Who says I can't?!
Buttercup: GRRRRR!
[Buttercup manages to find a gap to escape Blossom's hold over her, her confident grin returning]
Buttercup: Haha! I am the be-AH!
[Buttercup freezes in mid-air as she sees Bubbles standing in the middle of the yard with an innocent expression]
Bubbles: I win, I win, I win!
Buttercup: What the-how did you get ahead of me?!
Bubbles: That's easy; I took a shortcut.
Buttercup: ARGH! I woulda won if Blossom hadn't distracted me!
[Blossom comes up alongside Buttercup]
Blossom: It serves you right for trying to distract Bubbles.
[While the girls are taking, a car can be heard pulling into the driveway and the door opens]
Professor Utonium: [off-screen] Girls, girls. [on-screen] What's all the fighting about?
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup: Professor!
[In an instant, the professor is swarmed by the little girls. Even so, he gives a jolly chuckle in response]
Utonium: Hohoho, aaaaaah. Okay, girls, help me get the groceries inside.
Blossom: We're on it, Professor.
[In a flash, the girls take the bags out of the trunk as the professor unlocks the door before they burst inside. He shakes his head with a grin]
Utonium: Hmmhmmhmm, oh, you little rascals.
[Utonium steps inside the house to see the groceries laid out in the kitchen. The home has already been decorated with a tree near the fireplace, with the stockings hanging above the mantel, snowflakes streaming along the staircase, and a piece of mistletoe hung above the kitchen entrance]
Utonium: I do enjoy this time of year, being the holidays, it means I get to come home earlier.
Blossom: And it means we don't have to fight bad guys as often, especially since we know who's watching us.
Utonium: Hmmhmmhmm, very true, Blossom, and I take it you've all been good little girls this year?
Bubbles: Absolutely! I even donated to charity today.
[Utonium gives an affectionate rub to Bubbles' head]
Utonium: A very good girl you are, Bubbles. Now then, who wants to help me make Christmas cookies?
Blossom: I do!
Bubbles: Me, me, me!
Buttercup: I want cookies!
[The professor chuckles as we transition to a shot of the cookies cooling down over the stove before we cut to the living room where the family is watching TV, a commercial plays on the screen]
"Are you a soul who's been down on his luck? Do you feel as if your whole life has been nothing but a waste? Of course you do, that's why the Hazbin Hotel is here for you!"
[The big bold letters of the hotel are shown on the screen before zooming out to reveal the building in full. The professor rolls his eyes as he changes the channel, the current program now showing 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer]
Utonium: Aaaaah, much better. This is nice, spending time with the people I love.
Bubbles: Christmas just wouldn't be the same without you, Professor.
[Utonium blushes modestly]
Utonium: Hohoho, how sweet.
[Transition to later that night as the professor is shown tucking the girls into bed]
Utonium: Sleep tight, girls.
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup: Goodnight, Professor.
[Utonium smiles as he shuts the door and heads to his own room to go to bed. He slips under his blanket and sighs as the camera pans away from him, closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep]
[Transition to the next morning as the professor is in the kitchen brewing up some coffee. Upon the mug being filled, Utonium lifts it and puts it to his mouth. He's in the middle of having a sip when the phone suddenly rings]
Utonium: Hmm?
[The professor picks up the phone and puts it to his ear]
Utonium: Hello? Aaaaah, it's you two, what's the occasion? Uh-huh…yes, it is coming along nicely. What's that? Oh, I see, I can…oh…you want me to…I understand, but, you know, the holidays, maybe I could…you need me in person…I see…I see…well, I suppose it can't be helped…I understand…yes, I'll be there…hmm-mmm…goodbye.
[The professor puts his phone down, looking less pleasant than before]
Utonium: Well, that certainly puts a damper on things…
[At that moment, the girls suddenly dash into the kitchen ready for breakfast]
Blossom: Morning, professor!
Utonium: GEH!
[Utonium jolts and almost spills his coffee before recovering]
Utonium: Oh, it's just you girls, good morning.
Bubbles: I can't wait for today, we're gonna go sledding in Amber!
Utonium: Uh-
Buttercup: I can't wait to show off that new toboggan, been waiting all year!
Utonium: I-
Blossom: And I'm sure we'll have enough time to do some skating afterward.
Utonium: Girls, listen!
[The trio suddenly becomes silent as the professor clears his throat]
Utonium: Thank you, now, something's come up at the laboratory and it needs my attention.
Blossom: Well…that's no issue, I'm sure you'll be back in plenty of time.
Utonium: That's the thing; they need me to work extra hours for a project. So, I won't be able to take you girls anywhere today.
Blossom: Oh…you'll be back this evening, right?
Utonium: Well, yes, but I'll be back very late. I trust you girls will be safe until then.
Bubbles: But…you always have time around the holidays…
Utonium: I know, Bubbles, but it can't be helped. My job is important and I need to abide by the requirements.
[Noticing the downcast expression slowly forming on the blonde girl's face, the professor tries to ease the situation]
Utonium: Now, don't worry. I'll try to get home as soon as I can. After all, I love spending time with you girls.
[Bubbles' frown morphs into a small sad smile, but she isn't confident about it]
[The music takes a somber take on the PPG theme as the scene transitions to the girls watching the professor leave in his car. He waves at them before backing out of the driveway and heading down the street]
[There is a moment of silence between the trio before Buttercup speaks up]
Buttercup: Oh come on, what are we moping for? We can have fun on our own!
Blossom: Uhhhh, yeah! You're right. It'll be okay, Bubbles, we'll have the best time together.
Bubbles: If you say so…[sighs]...okay, I give, I'll try to keep my chin up.
Buttercup: Great! Now let's hit the hills, we've got some sledding to do!
[Buttercup whooshes off to find the toboggan before reaching the closet at the back of the living room. She pulls out a long red sled]
Buttercup: C'mon, let's go!
[Buttercup zips out the door]
Blossom: Wait for us, Speedy Gonzales!
[Blossom takes after Buttercup while Bubbles follows on in pursuit of her sisters]
[Transition to a montage with the tune of jingle bells playing in the background mixed with the title theme from the show as we are shown at a snowy hill with people sliding down on their sleds]
[Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon zip past the camera before following the Powerpuff Girls whizzing down the hill]
[The girls suddenly go over a large bump of snow and soar into the air before landing in a pile at the bottom of the hill]
[Buttercup is the first one to pop her head out of the snow]
Buttercup: Alright! That was awesome!
[Blossom and Bubbles pop out of the drift as well]
Blossom: I say we should do ice skating next.
[Cut to Crimson Lake as people are skating around the frozen surface. Minerva Mink and Mirabel pass by the camera while the Teen Titans pass in the opposite direction; Starfire gracefully coasts across the ice while Raven effortlessly does a figure eight. Robin casually skates backwards while Cyborg shows off a little by skating on one leg. Meanwhile, Beast Boy is trying hard to maintain his balance on the ice]
Beast Boy: Hoooooo, whooooooaaaa…
Raven: If you'd quit shaking, you might have an easier time balancing.
Beast Boy: I'm not shaking! I'm just…limbering my body up.
Cyborg: Limberin' for what? The wedgie dance, BB?
[Cyborg gives out a wheezing laughter as the doppelganger's green face flushes red]
Beast Boy: Wedgie?! You-!
[Starfire glides up next to the changeling]
Starfire: Do not fret, Beast Boy. It is perfectly natural to have a difficult time adjusting to this activity. Taketh yours truly for that matter.
Beast Boy: When did you ever have trouble skating?
Starfire: Does thou not remember the time I took part in that skating rink as they call it?
[A thought bubble suddenly comes into BB's head as the visual shows Starfire flailing around as she slips and slides across the rink before panning back down to him in reality]
Beast Boy: Ooooooooh right, that.
Starfire: In hindsight, it is quite funny to look back on. Just relax, concentrate, and let yourself glide.
[Starfire skates on ahead and does a jump before flawlessly landing on a single skate on the ice]
Beast Boy: Huh…I think I could do that…yeah, I know I could…
[Beast Boy steadies himself to try and attempt a trick, only for him to start spinning out of control as the Powerpuff Girls suddenly skate by him in a rush. The changeling finally comes to a stop as his eyes spin around]
Robin: Well, that's a trick I haven't seen done before.
[Beast Boy rolls his eyes in response to this as we cut to the Powerpuff Girls skating in a row. Bubbles and Buttercup form a snowman in the ice while Blossom forms an ice angel]
Blossom: Aaaaah, a thing of beauty.
Buttercup: Ya' know, I almost got inducted into the skating tournament several years ago, but they thought I was too powerful.
Blossom: That didn't happen, you just missed the deadline for it. I do recall you skating up a storm on the lake afterward.
Buttercup: Oh, suuuuuure, gotta tell it like it is.
Bubbles: I don't suppose we could go out for hot chocolate next?
Blossom: Ya' know, I certainly wouldn't mind that, I could do with warming up.
[Cut to the girls walking back from a stand selling hot chocolate as Gumball and Darwin are next in line, while behind them are Elsa, Anna, Aladdin, Top Cat, Benny, Choo-Choo, Fancy-Fancy, Spook, Brain, Barbie, Sally, Bunnie, and Nicole]
[As the trio pass by a bench, Bambi and Ronno are sitting on it with their own cups of hot chocolate. The prince of the forest looks over to the darker furred deer with a cheeky expression]
Bambi: Heeey, Ronno~
[Ronno looks to his left with indifference]
Ronno: What, princess?
Bambi: What do you say to a little…marshmallow?
[Bambi sets his muzzle inside of the cup to pull out a marshmallow and hold it between his teeth]
Ronno: …You're such a dork.
Bambi: [muffled] Okay, if you don't want it…
Ronno: [smirks] Who said I didn't?
[Cut to Buttercup having overheard the conversation and raising a brow…before giving a shrug and taking a sip of her cocoa]
Buttercup: Aaaaaaaaaah, that's the stuff. Now, hasn't that been fun?
Bubbles: Well, I guess you're right, maybe I was overreacting a little.
Buttercup: A little?
Blossom: AHEM!
Buttercup: Right, a little…
Blossom: Besides, maybe the professor will only be a little later in the evening, nothing we can't handle.
Bubbles: Yeah…yeah, I'm sure he'll be back in time for dinner.
[We transition back to the house as the girls are shown waiting in the kitchen. They glance up at the clock reading six…transition to it reading seven…and finally, transition to it reading eight, by now showing the girls having eaten dinner based on the dishes in the sink]
Bubbles: …He's awfully late, isn't he?
Buttercup: Seriously? When is he gonna show up? He's gotta be starving by now.
Blossom: Perhaps he picked up something along the way, it is really late to eat dinner.
[At that moment, the girls hear the sound of the professor's car coming into the driveway. Cut to the front door as Utonium steps inside, looking rather exhausted with his head hanging down. In contrast to the girls standing in line with smiles to greet him]
Blossom: Welcome home, professor! Did you eat out or do you need us to prepare a meal? Maybe we could-
Utonium: [yawns] Slow down a little, Blossom. I'm very tired at the moment…
Blossom: Oh...of course.
Utonium: I'll just heat something up in the microwave, I need to lie down…
[Bubbles in particular notices the exhaustion on the professor's face as he walks into the kitchen and instantly becomes concerned]
Bubbles: Are you alright, Professor?
[The professor turns to face Bubbles and tries to console her]
Utonium: Oh, I'll be alright, Bubbles, I'm just…[yawns]...really tired.
[The microwave dings as the professor pulls out his meal and proceeds to set it down on the table. The girls can't help but feel his demeanor is slightly off as he eats]
[Transition to a little later as the trio has settled down for bed. The professor peers through the door]
Utonium: Goodnight, girls…[yawns]...I'll see you in the morning…
[As the professor closes the door, Bubbles looks over at her sisters]
Bubbles: Poor Professor, he looked worn out.
Buttercup: Well, duh, he was working in a lab all day.
Blossom: I just wonder what they're even making over there…no matter, it's probably a temporary thing.
Bubbles: How can you be so sure?
Blossom: The professor has a lab in the basement and he often works remote, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Bubbles: I want him to enjoy Christmas like the rest of us…
Blossom: Don't worry, Bubbles, I promise we'll all have a good Christmas, no matter what happens.
Bubbles: I hope you're right…
[However, as the girls settle to sleep, we cut to the professor having dropped like a rock on his bed before we transition to the next morning with the somber rendition of the PPG returning, mixed with "Carol of the Bells", as the Utonium leaves in his car, the girls retaining hopeful expressions as he leaves…but this slowly falters when we transition to another late night with the professor clocking in at around 8:30 for dinner]
[This is followed by the melody taking a more aggressive stance as we cut to a montage of the trio rolling balls of snow to make snowmen, sliced in between moments of Utonium examining the workings of a large machine and making notes about it]
[Cut to a clock as it turns all the way from eight in the morning to eight in the evening]
[We see Buttercup rolling a big ball of snow on the ground, followed by Bubbles putting another ball of snow on top of it, followed by Blossom rounding out the top with the smallest ball. We then see Utonium fiddling with the controls on the machine before writing down more notes on his pad and doing some calculations on his computer]
[Cut to the Powerpuff Girls looking at their three snowmen, or snowgirls, resembling them with an initial smile each, before looking to the tall snowman sitting next to them, bearing a resemblance to the professor. Their expressions drop as they realize the irony of the situation]
[Cut to Utonium in the lab as he looks over to three test tubes containing liquids of red, blue, and green next to one another. He hangs his head with a sigh]
[The music takes on a more gentle, yet still somber note as we approach yet another cold, lonely evening with the girls at home, the grandfather clock strikes eight once more and yet there's no sign of the professor. With their heads hanging low, the girls go upstairs to bed]
[Transition to the professor coming back home looking exhausted before another transition takes us upstairs as he peers through the door to see the girls already asleep…he looks down with a somber expression before slowly closing the door and heading to his own room…another transition shows the professor hanging his head down while sitting on the bed as we then transition to outside of the house as several ominous drum beats, accompanied by the strings, sound off as the screen fades to black]
[Fade back to the scene proper as it shows the professor donning a black suit while adjusting his tie in front of a mirror]
Buttercup: [off-screen] So you won't be home this evening?
[The professor turns to see Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup standing in the doorway, a look on the blonde's face especially that could rival a sad puppy]
Utonium: Tonight is the unveiling of our lab's project, there's going to be a gala and they want me to make the announcement.
Blossom: But we've barely spent any time together this week, and it's so close to Christmas.
Utonium: I know, and I apologize for being absent in the evenings, but you must understand this is very important for me. I can't break my commitments…
[Bubbles looks down at the floor]
Bubbles: I just want us all to be together for Christmas…I'm sorry if I sound selfish.
[Utonium has a somber look on his face as he leans down to the blonde girl's level]
Utonium: Not at all, my dear. I do wish I could spend my time with you girls, that lab has been exhausting…tell you what, I'll try to be home early this evening.
[The girls show a slight look of hope upon hearing this. The professor opens his arms]
Utonium: Now…come here…
[The professor wraps his arms around the girls as they hug back. A melancholy rendition of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" starts up as we transition to Utonium leaving for the gala, the girls watching him from the window]
[Cut to him driving through the city as the colorful lights and attractions pass by, the professor's expression no less solemn the closer he comes to his location. To add insult to injury, he's only just able to catch the sight of Mojo Jojo, Him, Sedusa, and Princess Morebucks in a bar, laughing with each other]
[Cut to Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup sitting by the fireplace as they're looking at an old photograph, taken from their first Christmas with the professor]
[Transition to the auditorium where the presentation is taking place. Mayor Mayor and Sara Bellum are speaking with a couple of guests when the former spots the professor]
Mayor: Aaaaaah, there he is, the man of the hour!
[Utonium approaches the duo with a polite demeanor]
Utonium: Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Miss Bellum.
Mayor: Ya' know, I've been hearin' good things about this little invention you's been cookin' up.
Utonium: Oh, yes, it certainly is something, I'll tell you…
Mayor: Yeah, well, so long as it doesn't bore me to death, then everything should be ship shape. If you'll excuse me, I gotta go mingle with some fellow politicians.
[As the mayor scatters away, Miss Bellum is next to speak up]
Bellum: You're looking a bit on edge.
Utonium: Pardon me?
Bellum: I know that look in your eyes. Plus, your hands are fidgeting.
Utonium: What?
[The professor looks down and notices his hands rubbing together. He blushes as he puts them in his pockets]
Utonium: Sorry, pre-stage jitters is all.
Bellum: Hmmm…in that case, tell the girls I wish them a Merry Christmas.
[Bellum walks away with her wine glass as Utonium maintains his smile in front of her, only for it to morph into a sad frown as he looks down at the floor]
?: Well, it's about time you showed up.
[The professor looks up and tries to retain his professionalism as it's revealed to be the two lab mice themselves; Pinky and the Brain]
Pinky: I'd say that's a large enough crowd to get the message around, ZARF!
Brain: Indeed, soon they will know the extent of my brilliant and captivating mind.
Utonium: AHEM! I hope you realize I put up with this project solely because it wasn't meant for "taking over the world" or whatever.
Pinky: Awww, c'mon, not all of our plans revolve around world domination, don't they, Brain?
Brain: Only a sum of 80%, how that's a red flag in people's minds is beyond me.
[The professor looks over at the viewer with an expression of "you gotta be kidding me", but he clears his throat regardless]
Utonium: Anyways, I've analyzed all the basics for it and it should be good to go. So long as you're not going to mod it behind my back.
Brain: But of course, what kind of a scientist would I be if I told fibs to my colleagues? That's purely stupid.
Pinky: Yeah, hehe, stupid…
Utonium: In that case, I'm in need of a drink. Excuse me, you two.
[As the professor walks away, he finally has a chance to catch his breath. He looks over to a table that's mostly empty and in the place of three seats sits three little girls. Utonium blinks several times only for the girls to disappear in the next shot. He sighs as the scene transitions to the back of the stage where the professor is waiting to give his presentation, the project covered by a large tan tarp]
Utonium: [straightening his tie] Okay, big moment, just…relax…
[Utonium notices Pinky and Brain talking on the other side of the stage, no doubt singing the latter's praises for his pure genius. The professor reaches into his pocket, pulling out his wallet and opening it. Within one of the sleeves is a picture of him and the girls lying on the grass in giggle-fits. He smiles at this before the scene cuts to Hello Nurse, previously given the name of Nurse Helen for familiar, on the podium to give an announcement]
NH: It gives me great honor to present you the man behind the science, give it up for Professor Utonium!
[The crowd gives an applause as the professor steps out with a wave before standing in front of the podium]
Utonium: Thank you, thank you very much…AHEM, now then, I'm sure you're all curious to know what we've been making in the lab, and it's safe to say, even I was surprised at the details. I mean, I didn't spend all those long hours for nothing, hehe, heeeeh…
[Cut to the backview of Miss Bellum as she tilts her head to the side while putting down her wine glass]
Utonium: Now then, without further ado, I would like to present you all…
[A drum roll sounds as the tarpaulin is slowly lifted off the project, revealing a large silver machine with color coded dials, a chrome finish, and the most noticeable feature being a tall funnel-like object sticking out from the top corner]
Utonium: …The Mallet 2500!
[The audience gives a polite applause in response to this, though the Mayor looks a little confused]
Mayor: Soooooooooo, what's the deal with this thingy?
Utonium: Using state of the art technology, this machine has the ability to alternate between recreational and lethal firepower. It can also create its own lights show as the velocity covers a great range in the air. Either you'll be treated to a sight akin to the Aurora Borealis, or find a distant signal for help.
[The mayor whispers to his assistant]
Mayor: Miss Bellum, see if that thing is marketable, I'd like to make an…executive purchase if you will.
[It is at that time that time that Brain and Pinky have joined Utonium on the stage]
Brain: Of course, a large part of this was engineered by a complex diagram provided by yours truly.
Pinky: And detailed did he make it, ZARF!
Brain: …Normally, that would irritate me, but given the current season, I'm going to let it slide.
Pinky: Awwww, aren't you sweet?
[While the two mice are distracted by their conversation, the professor has stepped down from the stage to compose himself. At this point, he has slowly lost interest in the event entirely as he can only think about one thing]
Mayor: Oh, Professor, I was wondering, how much would you be willing to sell this…professor?
[The professor continues on his way before taking a drink from the buffet table and taking a sip before sitting down at one of the tables…he sighs as he looks around the auditorium]
Utonium: Well, isn't this a fine way to spend the holidays…instead of with the people you love…?
[Utonium looks down as he considers what he just said…we transition to the girls back at the house having prepared themselves some hot cocoa to have with the cookies]
Blossom: Well, at the very least, we're all together. And this is good hot chocolate.
Buttercup: Probably because I was the one who made it.
Bubbles: Yeah…
[At that moment, the door flings open, and it's revealed to be-]
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup: Professor!
[A triumphant tune plays as the professor is shown standing at the door with a big grin on his face as the girls pile onto him]
Utonium: Hohoho! It's so good to see you girls!
Bubbles: You did come home after all…
Utonium: Trust me when I say, the last place I want to be at Christmas is some stuffy old gala. After all, my favorite people in the world aren't there…
Buttercup: Awwwwwww, now you're making me blush.
Blossom: I'm sure you can let it slide this one time, Buttercup.
Buttercup: [sighs] You're right, I'm just glad to see we're all here together.
Utonium: You know, I was hoping to show you girls something, an early Christmas gift of sorts.
Bubbles: Oh, and what would that be?
[Cut to the professor setting up a projector with a screen cast in front of the television]
Utonium: I was saving this for a special occasion; a look back to the past.
Bubbles: Ooooh, so you made a movie about our memories?
Utonium: Indeed, Bubbles, from some of our earliest memories to the present, they're all captured on this film reel.
[The professor begins the reel as he sits down with the girls on the couch. The first clip shown is a recreation of the opening theme as the girls stand in front of their creator]
Blossom: [V.O.] Wow, I never knew I was so photogenic.
Buttercup: [V.O.] Show off.
[The next clip shows Bubbles playing with a dog that resembles the professor during his brief stint as a canine]
Bubbles: [V.O.] Hehe, doesn't that puppy look familiar?
Utonium: [V.O.] Hoho, boy, do I remember this one.
[The current clip shows the girls assisting the professor with a chemical mixture of sorts before it blows up in their faces]
Buttercup: [V.O.] Never let us around chemicals.
Bubbles: [V.O.] Oh hey, there's our first Halloween!
[The clip shows the girls decked out for Trick or Treating, Blossom in a lab coat, Bubbles dressed as Little Bo Peep, and Buttercup going as a werewolf]
[The music takes a grand turn as the next clip shows the girls flying over the city with their streaks of color trailing behind before it takes us to them standing in front of city hall to be commemorated by the Mayor and Miss Bellum. It then shows a slow motion capture of the professor and the girls running to one another before being scooped up in the former's arms. They spin around before falling to the ground, laughing before the screen fades to black with the text reading "The End", the music becoming more gentle towards the end]
Bubbles: [sighs] That was beautiful.
Utonium: Hmmhmm, I'm glad you liked it.
[Transition to later that night as the professor has tucked the girls into bed]
Utonium: Goodnight, girls.
Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup: Goodnight, Professor.
[The professor leaves the room to go to his own bedroom and shuts off the light before slipping into bed, closing his eyes, and dropping to sleep shortly after]
[Cut to the bedroom door being open with the quiet sound of little pattering feet on the floor before we cut back to Utonium sound asleep…a rustling can be heard to the viewer's right as the camera pans out to reveal Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup on the other side of the bed, sleeping contently next to their paternal figure]
[Transition to a pan-away from the household as a gentle piano and woodwinds rendition of the PPG theme plays over the end credits]
