The Powerpuff Girls Story

chapter 2

The next day, Kenny did his normal routine. He woke up, went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, washed his face and got ready for school. It would be a while before he would see the Professor and the girls again, but he tried to distract himself with other things so the day would go by faster than he would think and it felt like the day was taking long until he could see the girls again.

Kenny also decided to go home for lunch and collect his old toys that he played with when he was in Townsville Elementary School. He grabbed his Merf gun, his old video games from the cartridges and the game console, some comic books, and a lot of other things. He was sure Buttercup would mostly play with the boy things, but they would have to do. Also, when he was on his way back to school, he caught the eye of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten as they were dismissing students to go home as it was morning kindergarten.

"Oh, hello, Kenny, long time no see." the teacher, Ms. Keane greeted a former student of hers as the children went home.

"Hey, Ms. K," Kenny greeted back, coming to her before going back to his own school before meeting the Professor and the girls. "Listen, umm... You know Professor Utonium?"

The kindergarten teacher tried to think for a minute. "Yes, I believe I went to grade school with a Utonium."

"Well, he's a father now and he's got three little girls..."

"Are they educated?"

"N-No, they haven't been in school before and I think it would be good if you let them come into your class to play with the others."

Ms. Keane looked at her classroom. "I think we do have an opening, no one seems to sit in that table in the middle of the room. The girls should like sitting there. What are their names?"

"Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup." Kenny said with a smile.

"Oh, those are lovely names," Ms. Keane smiled. "Just tell Professor Utonium to call me anytime and we should be able to have the girls be in school by tomorrow or the next day."

"Thanks, you were always my favorite teacher growing up."

"Oh, come on, Kenny, I'm sure you've had better other teachers after you graduated from Pokey Oaks."

"None like you though, I just know the girls will love you, especially Blossom."

"Thank you, Kenny, now you better run along before you get detention from Mrs. Faust." Ms. Keane warned the boy as she saw how it was well after lunch.

"Oh, good point! We'll talk about this later, bye Ms. Keane!" Kenny walked off with his special box.

"Such a good boy..." Ms. Keane beamed, also suprised that Professor Utonium had three more daughters. She had heard of Sakura back in the old days, of course.

Kenny made it to the Utonium house and left the box on the doorstep. He knocked on the door and quickly went back to school. The Professor opened the door after washing some pink paint off him. He then looked down to see a box of old toys donated by Kenny.

"Oh, that boy..." the Professor smiled and struggled to open the box and went inside to give it to the girls.

It was after school now, so the girls got to see Kenny. They were all really happy to see him again and they remembered their manners and thanked him for the other gifts.

"Two present days in one week, that's what I'm talkin' about!" Buttercup enjoyed the love spread. "Can we have more tomorrow?"

"Now, now, let's not get greedy." Blossom lectured.

"This is really yummy, want some, Kenny?" Bubbles was munching on a crustless peanut butter sandwich.

"No, thanks, Bubba, you, Bloss, and Bud can have it to yourselves." Kenny gently refused.

"Bud? I like that, much better than Buttercup." the green girl approved the alternate name given to her by the older boy.

The Professor came to Kenny. "I'm afraid I'll be too busy for them and who knows when the kindergarten teacher will have a spot open for three little girls?"

"I just talked with Ms. Keane, she said to just call her tonight and she'll let you know if they can come in either today or tomorrow." Kenny solved the problem, glad that he talked with the woman ahead of time.

"Keane... Something about that name rings a bell... But thanks a bunch, Kenny!"

"Sure thing!"

"Come on, Kenny, play with us!" Blossom clung to the boy.

"Yeah, let's play some of your awesome games!" Buttercup really liked the video games that were now hers.

"Nothing too violent now." Bubbles added, a little scared.

"Don't worry, Bubba, you'll be fine, let's go then." Kenny smiled at them and walked with them clinging to his arm, leg, and torso.

The girls really liked Kenny. He also felt like a big brother to them and he felt like they were little sisters. Oh, the curse of being an only child. Kenny struggled a bit with the game, seeing that it had aged on him. The girls were fast learners when he taught them how to play since the game didn't come with an orientation level to help you get through the future levels. He spent a lot of miserable childhood moments about dying in five seconds since the character had a one-hit point which meant that you could easily lose a life in just one hit against an enemy. It got very late soon enough.

"Alright, girls, it's time for..." the Professor came in, drying his hands and saw the girls, and even Kenny was knocked out. Blossom was by her books fast asleep, Bubbles was curled up with paper and crayons, and Buttercup was on the couch with the remote control in her hand. "Bed... Kenny, wake up, you can go home now..."

Kenny snorted a bit, yawning. "Those girls took a lot out of me..." he whispered gently.

"You'd make a wonderful babysitter, Kenny, thanks so much for watching them." the Professor said in a hushed tone as he was washing Blossom's face clean by the sink. The telephone then rang and got his attention. "Oh, that's probably important, could you take care of the girls for me?"

Kenny was going to do it anyway. After Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup had clean and dry faces, Kenny got them into their pajamas gently and tucked them into bed. The boy looked around for something and saw the octopus doll that Bubbles was very attached to. He then picked it up and allowed the blonde girl to hold it in her grasp.

"Good night, girls..." Kenny whispered, turned out the light and shut the door behind him as he went to see the mess in the living room. The Professor had been through a lot tonight, so he decided to clean it up for the old man. He sniffled as he saw a drawing of the girls with the professor, it was a little bit of a crude crayon drawing, but he thought it was the most adorable thing he had ever seen.

The Professor came in to see the living room clean, much to his surprise. "Wow, Kenny... You didn't have to do that."

"I wanted to," the boy told him as he put the papers in a stack and kept them in a place where Bubbles could get them next time she wanted them. "Who was on the phone?"

"It was the kindergarten teacher," the Professor said, smiling happily. "The girls get to go to school tomorrow."

"Congratulations, I know they'll love it, kindergarten is the best grade there is."

"Good night, Kenny, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Night, Mr. Utonium."

The scientist closed the door and Kenny walked down the street to get himself home.
