Chapter 21: Just Another Day in Townsville



"What the heck are you doing here?!" Jack shouted.

"What are YOU doing here?!" the thief shouted back.

"You...know this girl, Jack?" Princess asked.

"I wish I didn't. Believe me," Jack scoffed.

"So, what's her name, stud?" Butch snickered, still holding the thief down.

"Her name's Ashley, but she calls herself 'Katnappe,' which, I might add, is so many levels of dumb!"

"Oh, like YOU can say you've ever been better than me!" Katnappe spat.

"Actually, I can! You see, I'm a member of the Mascots of Anarchy, the team of baddasses who you see before you!" Jack smirked triumphantly.

"Only because you bribed your way in!"

"For yisser informashun, young lady, oi personally recruited 'im!" Oliver interjected.

"Really?" Katnappe asked, disbelief all over her face.

"Really," Oliver grinned.

"And the cool doesn't stop there, Ashley," Jack smiled, "Ollie, here is the founder and leader of this group!"

"Young Mr. Spicer's technological skills 'av been vital ter our success."

"How can you put up with that annoying doofus?!" Katnappe exclaimed.

"Okay, you can shut up about my friend now," Princess said sternly, stepping between Jack and Katnappe.

"Why're YOU so protective of him? Is he your boyfriend, or something?"

"Wha?! No!! Of course not!" Princess exclaimed, blushing heavily.

"Yeah! W-we're not a-a couple!! I mean, look at us! Do we r-really look l-like we would date?!" Jack concurred, blushing just as bad as Princess.

"You know, Boomer, they actually would make a cute couple," Sedusa whispered.

"Think so?" the Blue Rowdyruff asked.

"Yes. See, there's obviously affection between the two, they're just a bit, um, awkward around each other, so they have a hard time realizing it," Sedusa explained.

"De mere fact dat yer managed ter git dis far wi' de eight av us on yisser 'eels is actually quite impressive," Oliver said, kneeling down to look at Katnappe.

"Flattered, Shamrock," Katnappe spat.

"An' you're bauld enoof ter toss raun insults while locked in a clear checkmate," he snickered, "...Interested in a job?"

"What?!" Katnappe exclaimed.

"What?!" cried the other seven Mascots.

"think aboyt it; she's clearly a skilled thief, she's proven 'erself effective at disguise, an' she's athletic. thar's potential in dat,"

"There's also potential in stupid," Jack muttered.

"'owever, oi'm willin' ter listen ter opinion, so, oi call a vote; If thar's anyone 'ere who does NOT want Ashley on dis team, raise yisser 'an'," Oliver called.

Jack threw his his hand in the air almost instantly, followed by Sedusa.

"I honestly don't give a crap," Brick said, taking out a cigarette and lighting it with a miniature fireball.

"No complaints from me, Boss," Butch grinned, pulling Katnappe to her feet, but keeping his grip firm, "it's always nice to have some hot tail around."

"I don't mind," Boomer answered.

"I agree, she's actually not so bad," Tubbimura said.

"Meh, I suppose it'll be nice to have another girlfriend around," Princess shrugged.

"Sorry, Jenny, Jack. looks loike you're out-voted."

The evil boy genius and the seductress both scowled, muttering as Butch released the cat-burglar.

"Roi, den. The-morra noight, you're 'eadin' on a wee trial run. T'be sure, it won't be withoyt reward," Oliver explained.

"Oh?" Katnappe asked, her interest peaked.

"Complete de job successfully, an' you'll be paid de seem price me co-workers 'ere are paid."

"Which is?"

"$5,000," Oliver answered.

"...Maybe this won't be so bad, after all," Katnappe mused, a smile growing on her lips. .

"Yeah, maybe it won't," Sedusa said, glaring at the cat burglar.

"Princess, if ye'd be so kind?" Oliver asked, gesturing to the evil rich girl.

"Sure thing," Princess replied, pulling out the Golden Tiger Claws.

After calling out the Shen Gong Wu's name, and slashing a purple vortex into existence, the Mascots all walked inside.

"Wait! How will we know Kitty Litter won't run out on us?!" Jack asked, once they were back inside the hotel penthouse.

"I told you not to call me that, Robo-FREAK!!" Katnappe spat back.

"Can you both just shut up?!" Brick exclaimed.

"Yeah!"Boomer agreed, "None of us'll ever get to sleep if you keep shouting!"

"Plus, you both have annoying voices," Butch finished.

"if we're al' done, 'ere," Oliver interjected, "Ashley, yer can sleep in Sedusa's room, the-nite. Ah! Apeakin' av whaich, Sedusa, don't kill Katnappe."

The Seductress seemed disappointed, but nodded her head in agreement.

"Well, that was...weird," Princess said, as she and Jack prepared to fly themselves and Tubbimurra back to Morbucks Manor.

"Yeah, but I've seen weirder," Jack replied.




Bubbles was the first one to wake up. Stretching and yawning, she slumped out of bed and into the bathroom, turning on the shower water. As the Blue Powerpuff began bathing, Kimiko and Blossom were awakened by the shower's noise.

"Mornin' already?" Kimiko murmured under her breath.

"Early to bed, early to wake, makes a lady pretty, smart and great," Blossom replied, stretching her arms.

Who's that from?" Kimiko asked, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"Benjamin Franklin," Blossom answered.

Noticing that Buttercup was still asleep, Blossom slowly rose out of bed, walked over to her sleeping sister, and gently shook her awake.

"Rise and shine, Buttercup," Blossom said.


"Wha?" Buttercup moaned, groggily.

"It's morning, we gotta get up," Blossom answered.

"...I don't wanna," the Green Powerpuff muttered, rolling over in her bed.

Blossom released an irritated sigh, but then, an idea struck her.

"Oh, wow, are those punching BAGS really half-off?" she asked, loudly.

"Ooh, I'll take one!!" Buttercup shouted, literally jumping out of her bed, only to find that there were no punching bags to be found.
After shooting Blossom a glare, Buttercup shuffled into the bathroom as Bubbles walked out,having dried off and changed into some fresh clothes for the day.

"Good morning, Buttercup, good morning, Blossom, good morning, Kimiko," she smiled.

"Good morning, Bubbles," they all replied.

"Need some help, Kimiko?" the Blue Powerpuff asked, noticing that she had several knots in her hair.

"Sure," Kimiko answered, after thinking it over.

"Yay!" Bubbles cheered, grabbing a hairbrush and sitting down to help her friend.

"What are we gonna do today?" Kimiko asked, once the awkward silence of the morning became too much to bear.

"Well, we might be going on patrol for a while," Blossom answered, working out the knots in her own hair, "help out around the house, I might go down to the library, and I was thinking that, if we're all able, we could see a movie."

"That sounds like fun!" Bubbles smiled, as she did up Kimiko's hair into her signature pigtails.

"Sure," Buttercup replied, stepping out of the shower, (wrapped in a towel, of course,) "plus, I still owe Raimundo and the squirt a sparing match."

"Speaking of which, where are they?" Kimiko asked.

"They woke up a while before we did," Blossom answered, "they're actually almost all done with their showers."

"Alright!" Buttercup exclaimed, "the sooner we can get to crime fighting, the better!"

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"The hotline!" Blossom exclaimed, zipping over to the phone, "Yes, Mayor?" She asked.

"Powerpuff Girls! There's a whole bunch of villains running amok all over Townsville!!!"

"We're on it!" Blossom replied, hanging up.

"Let me guess;Townsville's in trouble, and we've gotta save it?" Kimiko asked.

"Yep," Bubbles answered.

"Buttercup, get dressed, Kimiko, go get the boys!" Blossom commanded.

"Got it!" They both answered.
