The Powerpuff Girls Story

chapter 4

Later, that night was really scary and unforgettable to a lot of citizens. Kenny trudged along and knocked on the Utonium door. He then looked over his shoulder as the Professor was coming home right now after finally collecting the girls.

"Kenny, what a surprise!" the Professor looked at the boy.

"Hey, Professor..." Kenny said softly.

"What's wrong?"

Kenny looked to see the little girls could probably hear him. "I-I'll tell you later..."

"Okay, Kenny, you can help me get the girls to bed." the Professor said softly, then opened his front door which made the girls zip inside and running and flying around, still playing their innocent game which cost some people their lives. "Okay girls, girls? It's almost bedtime, okay? Girls?"

"Come on, Professor, you're it!" Blossom beamed, unaware of the trouble that she and the others caused in Townsville. "You gotta catch us!"

Kenny shrugged with a sad smile. "It's the only way."

"Yes, I suppose I do, don't I?" the Professor hung his head, then went up the stairs as the girls flew around. He reached and successfully captured Bubbles. "Gotcha, ya little bunny!"

"One down, two more to go." Kenny said as he would try to catch Blossom or Buttercup now.

The Professor leaned, held out his hand and Buttercup flew right to it.

"Help, I got gotted!" Buttercup cried in fake dismay. "Blossom, watch out!"

"You're the sole survivor!" Bubbles added, sounding like she admired the girl's purpose.

"No way, Professor and Kenny," Blossom hopped down to the couch like a skipping stone across the pond. "Can't catch me!"

"Oh, yes, he can," Kenny told the leader girl. "Blossom, the game is over and your sisters are already up here, so I suggest you come on up too and get ready for bed."

Blossom looked sad, but then flew up slowly, allowing the Professor to catch her. The girls giggled as they were together and the Professor was taking them to bed.

"Be with you in a bit, Kenny." the Professor told the boy.

Kenny nodded, then sat on the couch and sighed again. He looked over to a coffee table and saw some framed photographs. Before the girls were born. One was the Professor's niece, Rebecca as a ballerina. Another one was the Professor, younger, and holding a 'World's Greatest Dad' coffee mug. Kenny grew very sentimental over the last one. Kenny was new in town in second grade and Sakura became fast friends with him despite him being a boy and her being a girl and at that age was odd.

The Professor came downstairs after sending his daughters to bed. "So, Kenny, what's going on? Aren't your parents worried about you?"

Kenny looked at him, then looked away distantly. "I'm afraid that I'll never need to worry about or them worry about me ever again, Professor..."

"Why? What happened?"

Kenny bowed his head. "The girls struck my house... Everything was destroyed. The power was out, the television was nearly damaged beyond repair, the stairs were completely destroyed... My parents were actually home then."

The Professor cupped his mouth. "Are they hurt?"

"Worse."

"You mean... Your parents are-"

Kenny nodded softly.

"Oh, K-Kenny, I'm so sorry..." the Professor said, his voice nearly cracking from the sadness of that news.
