The Powerpuff Girls Story

chapter 3

Kenny was on his way to his class with some other students. He would've liked school better if Sakura could have gone with him. He could always call her, but not right now.

"Oh, Kenny, could you come to my office?" the principal of his school asked.

Kenny looked back nervously to the man in charge. "I'm not in trouble, am I?"

"Of course not, you just have a phone call."

Kenny heaved out a sigh of relief. He then grabbed his backpack and walked into the office to pick up the phone. "Hello?"

"Kenny, it's me, the Professor," a familiar voice came on the other end. "I was supposed to meet Ms. Keane at Pokey Oaks, but I'm afraid I won't have enough time to make it. Could you do me a favor and go there for me?"

"Sure, but does Ms. Keane know about this?"

"I already told her, please make sure they're okay, I'm a little worried, cuz... You know how special the girls are."

"Yes, sir, I'll go after lunch. They should be having recess by the time I get there."

"Thanks, Kenny, you're a life saver."

"Oh, I wouldn't say that..." Kenny said sheepishly, then chuckled. "What are you working on, anyway?"

"I'm just looking for Jojo, he's gone missing... I hope he's not jealous of the girls."

"I wouldn't know, I never had any brothers or sisters to hold me down... Sakura didn't seem to be jealous of the girls either, then again, she doesn't live here."

"I'm gonna drive around town and see if he's around any, talk you later, Kenny."

"See ya, Prof!" Kenny hung up with his own personal nickname for the man.

Kenny paid close attention to the time and got a quick-lunch before going to Pokey Oaks kindergarten to meet the girls. Kenny finished the quick last bit of his egg salad sandwich and walked down the street to Pokey Oaks Kindergarten. It brought back a lot of nostalgia for him, so he was glad the Professor asked him to get the girls for him. He heard a lot of the girls jump rope songs play in his head with some kids laughing on the little spinning ride, or the endless journey of hide and go seek. He sighed at his memories, then knocked on the door and wiped his mouth quickly as the clock struck noon.

"Ah, Kenny, right on time, the Professor told me you would be coming," Ms. Keane smiled at the boy and led him inside the school. "The girls are right outside with the other children."

Kenny gasped as he saw a huge mess in the classroom. A lot of the chairs and tables were turned upside down, there was a lot of junk in the room, some paint splatters on the wall, a bunch of paper and open books left on the floor, the cupboards wide open, and furniture knocked this way and that. Kenny had never seen such a mess, not even when he was the girls' age.

"Oh, my gosh..." Kenny muttered, then spoke up to the girls. "Listen, I don't know if the Professor told you, but the girls are 'really' special and we both knew the girls would be a handful."

"What, this?" Ms. Keane looked at the mess like it was no big deal. "This is just what happens when you put 20 kids in a classroom... I remember when you were their age that you got blue paint in your hair, and I see that it never left..."

Kenny sheepishly grabbed the blue dye in his hair.

"Be sure to tell the Professor that girls are normal, perfect, well-behaved girls." Ms. Keane smiled brightly as she watched the kids play outside.
