Eager to eat the large cake back in their classroom, Blossom flew back to school with her friends Bubbles and Buttercup following after.

"Cake, cake, cake" Blossom smiled and repeated to herself. Soon, she arrived at the school's rooftop with her friends. The trio then de-transformed.

They were now Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru and were wearing the casual clothes they had before their powerpuff transformation.

The three of them hurried back to their classroom. Momoko got there first, but when she went back to her seat, the cake box was empty.

"Wait, where did the cake go?" She looked around frantically, then asked her teacher. "Umm, Keane-sensei, did you see the cake I left here earlier?"

"Wait, that was yours? I thought it was one of the cakes that fell here. I'm really sorry, Akatsutsumi-san. I didn't know it was yours and I didn't want it to go to waste, so I ate it already" Keane-sensei replied.

"Oh..." Momoko hung her head down.

"I'm really sorry..." Keane-sensei apologized once more as Momoko lifted up her head.

"It's okay, Keane-sensei. Don't worry about it" She took a seat, looking down at the empty cake box. Her teacher still seemed worried, but decided to just give her some space.

Just then, Miyako and Kaoru finally caught up and went inside the room. They were about to head back to their seats when they saw Momoko looking down, deciding to walk over to her instead.

"What's the matter, Momoko-san?" Miyako asked when she and Kaoru saw the empty cake box Momoko was still looking down at. "Oh"

"I was really excited to eat it too... I guess my cake luck today isn't as good as I thought..." Momoko sighed.

"Well, the other cakes were at least saved from being stolen by Mojo. I would consider that a lucky thing" Miyako said, hoping to cheer up their friend.

"Yeah, but I didn't get to eat the large cake..."

"Well, to be fair, you did steal that cake from Ken" Kaoru said. "I mean, even if we're allowed to eat all the snacks we want in the lab, it's still not okay to steal from others"

"That, that is true. And think of it this way, Momoko-san, it could be the universe's way of helping you learn a lesson" Miyako said.

After hearing what her friends told her, Momoko began to think about her earlier actions today. Even after lunchtime was over and classes resumed, it was all she could think about.

Keane-sensei or the other teachers would often call for Momoko's attention due to her being unable to focus in class. At times, her teachers would ask her out of concern. And every time, she'd just fake a smile and pretend to be fine. But in truth, she wasn't, not with the thoughts running through her head.

Not only did she steal Ken's cake with a lack of remorse whatsoever, the way she acted during her battle with Mojo was also not befitting of a superheroine. She got really angry when Mojo was stealing cakes from bakeries when she herself was also considered a cake thief.

She didn't even care about the damage she caused to the city while fighting him with no restraint, leading to her friends having to keep her yo-yo from causing any more unnecessary damage.

Without even thinking about the chances she might hurt her friends or the others around her, she just kept attacking Mojo. And when he "surrendered", she acted so arrogant to her friends.
