Creating the perfect little girl

[ohhellogirls]

SUGAR!

SPICE!

AND EVERYTHING NICE!

These are the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls!

But the Mayor... er... "accidentally" (WINK WINK) added an extra ingredient to the concoction!

CHEMICAL X. (*coughcough*, actually ecstasy from Netherlands, *coughcough*)

AND THUS, THE POWERPUFF GIRLS WERE BORN!

...Or so the Mayor would have liked.

[Rushing downstairs to see what happened, she sees smoke billowing out of the kitchen. Coughing, she peers through it to see ....a short elderly man?]

Are you okay? What happened?

[hey, it's the guy from the photo upstairs...]

[ohhellogirls]

"It worked! It worked! It really worked!"

[The Mayor excitedly jumps up and down, pumping his fists in the air in celebration before running up to the young girl and giving her a big grandfatherly hug.]

"I didn't think it would really be this easy! But here you are! A real life Powerpuff Girl! And so tall, too!"

[He raises his arm in the air, trying to measure her height, seeming very impressed with it all.]

"Why, you must be three times as big as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup! Oh, but what to call you... Maybe... Buttons? Butterscotch? Oh, this is so exciting!"

[tuna_surprise]

Ummm...sir? What are you talking about? What worked?

[she watches, completely bewildered as the tiny man cavorts around joyously. Well, at least he's not hurt...]

A powerpuff girl? I don't understand.

[Buttons? Butterscotch? Did he think she was a dog or something?]

Erm...My name is Angelique. Are you....okay?

[It's hard to tell whether she means mentally or physically. She's not even sure...]

[darker_alice]

Against her better nature, and the fact that one of the things that never changed was her curiosity, Alice followed to where she'd heard the explosion. When she saw the home still smoking, it was fairly obvious where the girl she was speaking to was located.

She opened the door, knocking. "Is everyone all right?"

[ohhellogirls]

[Mayor does a double take in surprise.]

"...Goodness! A second one! This might have worked even better than I thought! What's your name, young miss?"

[darker_alice]

Alice was definitely put off. Who was this man, and what did he mean by calling her "a second one?" He sounded familiar.

"I am Alice," she replied. "I heard a disturbance, and so I went to see if all was well."

[ohhellogirls]

"Alice!"

[Mayor jumps up and down again, a huge smile spreading across his face. He reaches out to take the girl's hands, dancing back and forth with her.]

"Alice and Angelique! They both start with A! I made two Powerpuff Girls!"

[tuna_surprise]

[looks at Alice somewhat apologetically.]

Umm...Hi. He seems to be a little....confused. He thinks we're superheroes or something.

[darker_alice]

Alice finally saw the girl she'd been speaking to earlier, which was just as well: the small old man's ranting was starting to unsettle her. What was he talking about, with their names starting with "A?" What was the significance of that?

Superheroes.

"Old man," Alice said (naturally not knowing his name), "We are now powder puffs of any sort. I've lived in this wretched place almost a month, and u can only imagine this is the first time you met your daughter. She's newly arrived."

That voice of his...where had she heard it before?

[ohhellogirls]

Nonsense! Of course you're the Powerpuff Girls! I combined all the ingredients just like I heard about before, and here you are! Three of you, all with names starting with the same letter, just like before! Things like this don't just happen, you know!

So, tell me what kind of superpowers you have!

[darker_alice]

Alice sighed. She couldn't believe that she was taking part in this conversation. There were less deluded people in the asylum.

"I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing. First off, you cannot create persons simply by adding bits of items into a pot and stirring it. You can make a potion at best, but real people with their own names? That's just mad."

Not that she needed to emphasize her point. "Look at your pictures then."

[ohhellogirls]

But it is possible! Professor Utonium did it, and he created the three most powerful superheroes the City of Townsville has ever seen!

...Er, look at what pictures now?

[darker_alice]

Alice still had no idea what he was talking about, or how this Utonium professor could create people from concoctions.

"The pictures on your walls of course!" Alice said, sounding exasperated. "All of us have one. If she is there and I'm right, would you please reconsidering your creation of us theory?"

[ohhellogirls]

[Mayor just laughed, waving his hand.]

"Oh, it's fine, I know you're just a little embarrassed. First day in a new town and all. It's all right! We'll all be one big family from now on!"

[darker_alice]

Alice's hand went to the bridge of her nose, silently counting to ten, a tactic shown to her in the asylum when confronting rising violent feelings. Was this man truly not hearing anything she said?

"I am Alice Cho, and I live on 1490 Kramden road with my 'husband' and a daughter. I am not a creation of yours, nor is that girl, she is your daughter in Mayfield. Where I am from, what you're doing is terribly rude. You ought to have welcomed her and made her some tea. This place is confusing enough, don't go complicating it further."

[ohhellogirls]

"Tea! Tea! You're right! How rude of me! I'm so sorry! What was I thinking! Hold on, hold on, I'll put the kettle on right now!"

[Mayor fumbles about, running around the kitchen like a headless chicken, scrambling to get a teapot full of water and brewing on the stove.]

"I'm sorry! I'll be much better about it in the future, I promise! I'm new at this sort of thing!"
