I couldn't take it any more. I stomped forward again, scooping up the... Person in one arm. Being strong had its advantages. "Fine!" I snapped, stalking towards the window, completely ignoring the door. "You go get ice cream, candy, obsess over boys, clothes, whatever!" I couldn't TAKE it any more! "I'm out of here, and then I'm going to ask the professor for a way to turn back, for good!" I said, before jumping through the window, and taking off into the air. How could I even be expected to stay CLOSE to those kinds of people? They drove me crazy!!
 
"Hey! Kaoru! Wait for me! I don't want to be stuck like this either!" I called after her as I followed. I was sort of ticked off at the whole situation, but there was a difference in my attitude compared to hers. "You aren't acting very rational at all! You may argue otherwise, but I've basically had my life ripped away from me. I can't go back to what my life was right now, in any aspect. You can. Even so, at least I'm acting rational. What good does getting mad at everyone do? Nothing!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So... Miyako? How about that ice cream? We can get some for them as well!" I exclaimed cheerfully, as if the little episode had not happened at all. I decided it best not to dwell on negativity, so it was best to just move on. "But I wonder what kind those two would like...?"
 
Before saying any more remarks (the 'cute' comment was still making me laugh), I quickly shut my mouth tight. I decided it was probably the best time to begin the civilized thing. I chewed on my lips, not quite certain of what to say. Hey, acting civilly is harder than you think! "Actually," I started hesitantly; ugh, it was much too hard not to make any sarcastic comments, especially after what she said. I could feel my hands moving to their own accord, tracing random stick figures on the bench, as I searched for words to say. "...I'm sort of lost." My eyes fell to where my hand was drawing the invisible stick person and almost jumped from shock. I could've sworn it just turned visible, as if I drew it with a pencil. And worse, I think it moved.

I must be even more exhausted than I thought.

I shook my head vehemently and forced my thoughts out of my head. "Listen, Princess, if you could so kindly tell me where this 'Myn' street is…" I paused briefly as a thought dawned on me. It probably took me a long time just to make it this park, plus how long exactly have I been talking to Princess Loudmouth here? Dash and Mr. Weirdo are probably elsewhere by now. Darnit! I was hoping I could at least see what they intended to do. I thought for sure they'd cause turmoil somewhere in the city, or something like that.

"Oh, forget it." I gave a slight huff and fell silent for a couple of minutes. I'll probably bump into one of them sooner or later, so I didn't think worrying about that was necessary. Might as well get rid of the immorality named boredom. "Anyway, what do you do for fun here?"
 
"Yeah, let's go get ice cream!" I clapped my hands together, but wondered aloud, "What kind of ice cream do I think they like? Hmm, not sure." I started towards the ice cream shop, a little annoyed that I had to lug my bubble wand everywhere. Wasn't there some way to make it disappear for a moment? Oh well, I decided, turning around to wait for Blossom, it didn't really matter in the end. As long as we got ice cream, everything would be a-okay!

But really...what kind of ice cream did Kaoru and Ayu like?

~ + ~

"Myn street is over there," I pointed to the opposite side of the park, "if you still wanted to know, and what do I do for fun?" I thought about it for a moment. Certainly nothing that the Grim Reaper would think was "fun". I usually spent my days on the school roof, trading insults with the janitor. Either that, or I'd shut myself in my room doing homework or something, doodling on the edges until I got tired. I suddenly seemed to forget what I did for fun, and had to strain myself to think of it. What did I do for fun?

The first thought that popped up was fight. But, I'd never even fought someone physically before in my life. Not even my parents, although if you consider a good whack to knock 'em out a fight then I guess that was something I did for fun.

"I usually just hang out here and draw or something, or do some work and get some money." I finally decided on the thing I did yesterday. Because part of the roof was being re-tiled, I was forced to find a different place to draw, and so I sat on top of the jungle gym and sketched the park. Otherwise, what else was there to do in Megaville? There was an arcade that sucked, that's for sure. There was a mall, in which I couldn't afford anything in it, so sometimes I would find a little bit of work and get myself a few bucks to save up- for whatever I needed. Clothes, bedsheets, pencils, paper, whatever needed to be replaced. But judging by Grim Reaper here, his high way of thinking on himself made him seem like one of the rich snobby people who wouldn't get their hands dirty for a million bucks.

I ignored the girl following me, grinding my teeth as I flew on a direct course to the professor's lab, barely swerving to avoid buildings. If anything, this guy could mean that she was telling the truth! I ground my teeth even harder. I hated being wrong... I crashed in through an open window rather than take the door. I had no means to be patient... I stalked my way until I found the professor and Ken slaving over a mainframe with videos of us fighting. "Listen!" I said, causing them both to jump. I didn't bother checking to see if ayu was nearby as I dumped the person on the floor. "This is your responsibility now. As for me, I want out of this.," I said, swinging my hammer up against my shoulder. "I want a way to turn back, and for good!"


I sweadropped as my son dived behind my back to hide from Kaoru, but I held out my hands in a placating gesture. "Come on now, I'm sure there's something you like about this? I mean, it is a once in a lifetime oportunit-" "NO!"
 
That was it. I had finally had enough of Kaoru's selfish attitude about the entire situation. I landed in the building via the newly smashed window, and snuck up behind Kaoru as she was basically yelling at the Professor and Ken. I raised my frisbee in the air, and smacked her across the back of the head with it. I didn't hit her THAT hard, but hard enough for it to actually hurt a bit. "That's enough! Would you stop acting like a little brat about this whole situation? You aren't the only one frustrated! I think everyone is at least a little, even if they don't show it. That's right, even Miyako and Momoko! But of course, you probably wouldn't have noticed that, would you? You're too busy shutting yourself off from everyone around you while only thinking of yourself! Shut the hell up already and wait for us to come to a decision on what to do now!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uh... Maybe we should get them chocolate?" I replied with a thoughtful look on my face, finger on my cheek. "Everyone likes chocolate! Even if they don't eat it, I will!" The thought of getting extra ice cream put a big grin on my face, and it kind of washed my worries away. "But, you decide, Miyako!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was now wandering the park where I had recieved these powers only a few hours ago. Even though it was recently, it was somewhat nostalgic and peaceful. The was... until I saw Zach and that girl still standing there. Did they have nothing better to do? And to be standing out there in those ridiculous costumes! I walked past them casually, and said "Hey Grim Reaper." I wasn't expecting Zach to recognize me, though. I wasn't in my white robes from earlier. I was on my way to find the first X-con, actually.
 
I took prime advantage of this opportunity to herd Ken and myself away a few feet, and began to prepare the beam that would turn them back to normal. I knew that look on Kaoru's face, and with her power... Well, needless to say I was silently praying for the machine to warm up fast enough...


I turned around, very, very slowly, and looked at Ayu for a moment before I spoke. "Listen to me." I said, my voice cold steel. "Since I joined, I've heard nothing but you complaining, and miyako and momoko obsessing over everything under the sun. My patience isn't INFINITE." I yelled, hauling her up by her vest as I stared at her. I pushed her back, and raised my hammer. "I don't care what decision you make, I want out of this whole thing, I've had enough!" I shouted, and leapt into the air, my hammer at the ready, heading straight for her...
 
After a quick thank you for the now unimportant direction (I might act high and mighty, but I do know good manners), I contemplated at what she said. "What? You actually work for money?" I asked her incredulously. I certainly never needed to; I mean, my parents just give it to me once I ask. "Why don't you just ask your parents?"

As soon as I finished speaking, a boy walked by and called me Grim Reaper. Excuse me, but that part belongs to Dash. He has the complete set, with the scythe and all. And this cloak (I just remembered I was still wearing it) was way better-looking than the Grim Reaper's… it has zippers! I scowled at him, brows raised. He looked rather familiar. "Yes, how may I help you?" I said sardonically. "Want me to get rid of your girlfriend?"

…wait a second. "Dash?"
 
"There it is again! I, I, I, I, I!" I yelled at her, perfectly aware that she was running after me. I didn't actually move, however, until it sunk in that she was actually serious about hitting me. This is what I get for actually standing up for myself... I should just be quiet from now on. I lifted off the ground and zoomed into the kitchen of the large building, cool air flying by my face and pushing my hair behind me. Unable to handle sharp turns, however, I crashed into a cupboard, spilling its contents on the ground, before continuing to run... er... fly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Boiler Burner!" I called as he finally realized who I was, and a black light enveloped me. When it cleared, I was in my tacky outfit from before. "That's right. Pretty cool, huh? I change back and forth at my own will." My outfit suddenly disappeared, revealing the simple shorts and t-shirt I had been wearing before. "Bet you're jealous~!"
 
I took off right after her, not paying attention to little things like walls, furniture, scientific equipment that got in my way. The case went on for quite some time, resulting in most of the walls in the lab having a hole in it somewhere, but eventually, we had come full circle. I saw the bright light engulf ayu, and yelped, unnable to stop myself before it washed over me...

I sighed in relief as the two girls dropped to the ground. I would have complained at the destruction, but for the moment, I was glad the rampage stopped. I put the beam up, and my eyes bulged as I heard Kaoru say "Well, maybe these powers aren't so bad... I might be able to tolerate being a Powerpuff Girl Z..."
 
I probably would have fallen over after hearing Kaoru's comment. Of course, I was laying on my stomach on the ground because of having my powers taken away mid-air, so that was kind of hard to do. Once I finally got to my feet, I gave Kaoru a pure smile, before collapsing to my knees. I had suddenly lost most of the energy I had at the moment for no particular reason. I suddenly started coughing as well, and my arm on my forehead led me to believe that I had a fever. "Do I feel hot to anyone else...?" I said before coughing once more. I was starting to wonder about that girl from earlier, as well...
 
I blinked, looking down at ayu, my face concerned... "Ken, make some broth." I said, walking over to her as my son began working with the food machine. I sighed, feeling her forehead as I picked her up, and blinked. She was practically burning with a fever. I would need to study these.. Symptoms. If they continued getting worse, I couldn't let her transform any more...

I slowly walked her into one of the guest rooms, decorated in a pale orange as I set her down on the bed, and ken set the tray down next to her, and muttered something about checking on the troublemaker. I looked over at her, and made my descision. She needed my help, and it was indirectly my fault... "Ayu.. You understand that in your state, returning to your old life isn't an option, right?"


"Well, ignoring me is better than telling me I need to wear that skirt." I said, smiling as I began to make my way towards a room with a big-screen TV. Rampaging through the lab had shown me quite a few things...
 
OOC: 8O...*dies*

IC: "Well, everyone likes Vanilla, right? We should get one chocolate and one vanilla, and if they don't like ice cream, then we'll just split the two. Oh, should we get Ken and the Professor some too? I wonder what kind of ice cream they like..." I wondered, unconciously making the subject go in circles, "You think Peach likes ice cream? Maybe we should get one vanilla, one chocolate, one strawberry, and one...umm...mint?"

"I wonder if they even like ice cream..." I wondered aloud, turning the entire subject back to where we'd started.

~ + ~

"HELL YES I'M JEALOUS!!" I shrieked, jumping to my feet, "I can't go home like this!!" I said waving my hands around to indicate toward my er...strapless top, "And YOU." I pointed a finger at Grim Reaper, "Not EVERYONE in the world is as rich and dinky as you. If I asked my parents for money, they'd hand me a beer like it was gold, and much good that would do other then get me arrested for underage drinking. So yes, I WORK for money, unlike you Mr. Lazy Grim Reaper, I have to work for things I want."

Whew! A good rant always clears the mind, "Anyway, I take it your name is Dash my memory for names is kinda out there, but anyway, how the heck did you transform back into yourself? I would love to know so I can get my clothes back, so when I go home my dad doesn't mistake me as a...well so I can go home." I folded my arms and waited impatiently for an answer. This could be my chance to lose these heavy useless swords! They appeared in my hands and I sighed, annoyed yet again. Though I'd probably told them a little more about my life then I told most people, much good it would do. What was said was said and it was too late to take my words back, besides, I was talking to two Grim Reapers...well, Grim Reaper and ex-Grim Reaper.
 
I sweatdropped as Miyako basically had it all worked out, but then brought our conversation back to square one. "Let's just get a different kind for each of them, else we could be doing this all day!" I quickly walked into the ice cream shoppe, and came out a few moments later, carrying ten cups of ice cream on a tray. Well, there were nine on the tray... I had already started scarfing down mine. I was snack deprived, so I couldn't wait! "Okay Miyako, I'm going on ahead! I'll meet you at the lab!" Quickly, yet cautiously, I took to the air, making haste to get the ice cream to the lab before it melted.

When I finally arrived outside the lab, I noticed a smashed window. I couldn't help but start to worry about what had happened here. As I flew up to the window, I found a large mess in the building. I quickly landed inside the lab, and heard a TV roaring with sports... Kaoru. Suddenly, Ken ran out of a room I hadn't explored yet, towards the room where the TV sounds were coming from. "Ken, what happened?" I asked him with worry in my voice as I trailed behind him.

"Oh... Hi Momoko!" Ken exclaimed, not even making eye contact with me. "Kaoru and Ayu got into a fight, so Papa... I mean Professor, changed them back. However, Ayu fell sick after she was changed back."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I understand my situation, Professor." I replied quietly as I shifted around in the bed until I found a comfortable position on my back with my arms hanging over the comforter. "I've been thinking about it ever since this afternoon when everything began. It's not like I had much of a life anyways. I've lived in Megaville Central Orphanage as long as I can remember. However, I can't exactly go back like this. If worst comes to worst, I can always find a homeless shelter or something..." Memories of my life up until this day suddenly began rushing to me. My friends, all of the adventures I had. I couldn't help but start crying like a little girl. I was a guy, guys don't cry. When I realized it didn't matter anymore, I just started crying harder, and quickly buried my face with the comforter. I heard Momoko run in and ask how I was doing, but I didn't care. I was too upset.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How do I do it?" I repeated, a smirk on my face. "I don't know if I should tell you. I don't normally tell secrets to people who haven't introduced themselves to me yet." Of course, I was just taunting her now. I could see why Zach was so fond of it! Why, I could do it all day!
 
I gaped, and mouthed words that wouldn't come out, like a fish gasping for water. It even made that popping sound every now and then- no! That was irrelevant! I mentally slapped myself back from cute feminine freak-dom, and with my fingers rigid as though tightened around a ball of some sort, I snapped, "YOU want an introduction Grim Reaper number TWO?! I'm sorry I was under the impression you already knew me. Princess Loudmouth was it?!?"

Changing the target of my accusing finger from Grim Reaper number one, to Grim Reaper number two, I snapped, "But if you must know, I'm SLUR, and unless I can change back I'M TECHNICALLY KICKED OUT OF MY HOUSE, so be a pal and save a soul, how the hell do you change back?!?!"

The two annoying swords pulled my hands upward and forced my fingers off of them, as, had I held on, I would've gone right up with them, and spinning rapidly in the air, disappeared.

"Well it's about time-Eeek!" I pressed down on my skirt as a huge wind blew around me, and- wait. Skirt? Hey! It was my knee length denim skirt! Not that weird mini skirt thing! And...and my sleeveless turtle neck, black converse too!! I squealed in a high girlish girl, twirling around on the spot, hands pressed against my cheeks glowing with happiness, "My clothes are back, my clothes are back!! Yay! All it took was the thought of how to transform back!" That was when I realized, I'd been thinking, 'when' I would transform back to normal. I mentally slapped myself again.

~ + ~

I followed Momoko to the lab, though I trailed behind her slightly looking around below me. It was such a new thing, flying, that I couldn't help but have to enjoy it! Spinning around in the air, I stopped when I noticed the shattered window. Oh no, now what did Kaoru do?!

That was the first thing that ran through my mind, and the second thing as well when I noticed the trashed lab. Leaning my bubble wand against the wall, I walked around and noticed the ice cream abandoned on a table, slowly melting, even though the lab was rather cold from air conditioning. I picked it up and walked over to the kitchen, where Ken was always going in and out of, (I decided this was the kitchen) and opened the refridgerator, putting the ice cream in the freezer section. We'd eat it later, I guess. That was probably why there was still a little bit of ice cream left in Momoko's cup.

Something had come up maybe. I closed the door to the refridgerator and examined my dress in the window's reflection. Boy did it look good on me! But that aside, I needed to find Momoko and Ayu! I heard Momoko's voice coming from a room, a few doors down. Skipping over I leaned around the doorframe and said cheerily, "We got ice cream for everyone! Well actually, we didn't know what kind you guys liked so- Hm? Are you okay Ayu?" I noticed Ayu lying in bed, face buried in her comforter and crying. Oh no! I wanted to rush over and ask what was wrong, but what with not wanting to intrude on Ayu's privacy, and the Professor standing in the doorway, I couldn't.

"Are you okay?" I decided on asking. Er, that wasn't a smart question, but it was a default question that needed to be asked!! "Well, okay, is there anything I can do to help?" Okay that sounded weird too. "Ohhh I'm confusing myself." I decided. Uh-huh, that helped a lot. I slapped the little voice in the back of my head and fell silent.
 
I blinked, looking over at miyako, but stepped out of the doorway, the faintest flush of pink entering my cheeks. I was no good at this stuff, but it was my fault. The least I could do was make the girls life a little easier now...

I stepped forward, blocking off my mind from everything but the sick girl, as I sat down beside the bed. "Ayu... I'm not sure how to say this. I feel.. Responsible, for what happened with Chemical Z." I paused, looking at her. "Ken sometimes gets lonely, though he'd never hsow it, and well, I've taken a liking to..." I tailed off, pressing a hand into my face. Focus. Giving a speech to peers was less stressful than this... "If you don't mind, I would like to adopt you."
 
The Professor's proposal didn't exactly make me feel any happier, but it put my mind at a bit of easy. All I did was mutter "Okay." from under the comforter before continuing to cry, until I eventually cried myself to sleep. It HAD been a long day after all, and hopefully my head would be a little clearer afterwards.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Realizing she had fallen asleep, I motioned everyone out of the room, and closed it behind us so that she could rest. "Were you serious, Professor? I mean, if you take responsibility for her, you have to do something about her clothing situation, and what about school and all of that?" It's not that it sounded like a bad idea, I just wanted to make sure he had thought of everything first. "That reminds me, clothing is a MUST right now. We should take her this evening when she wakes up! Oh, and what about that other girl that Kaoru brought over? Then again... where's Kaoru? And have you discussed this with Ken yet?" Thats right, I was FULL of questions and concerns!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Darnit, it did it on it's own. And here I was starting to have some fun!" I exclaimed, trying to provoke her again. "Well, I just dropped by to say hello, I really should get started on my work. Ultimate power awaits!"
 
I got up slowly, sighing as I ushered the others out of the room. "This will be good for ken, one way or the other." I said, and couldn't help but smile slightly. "And with such experts as you and and miyako around, I'm sure she'll be fine." I said, and the smile faded. As for the other.. Girl..." I said, and gestured at what appeared to be a giant metal door, what you'd expect on a bank vault. "Considering the strength that was displayed earlier, I didn't want to take any chances." I stopped, and thought. "Kaoru's watching TV right now, I think. What were the other questions?"
 
I narrowed an eye at Dash, my mouth hanging open stupidly. Was this guy for real? Ultimate Power? Who was this walking joke?

"Uh, yeah, so hi." This guy was baaaad at insulting me. In a twisted way, he was sort of insulting me...I think....heck, I wasn't even sure this guy was insulting me in the first place, "Wait was that an insult? Or wait...whatever!" I threw my hands up in the air in exhasperation, "I'm going home."

Trudging away, glad to be rid of the swords and the clothes, I headed for home, hoping my dad was out gambling or something.

~ + ~

"Clothes yes! What are we going to do about...well...every girl needs undergarments." I said, tapping my chin in thought as I headed for the room with the broken window, "And she'll probably want to dress like Kaoru, you know, not so girlishly...and we have to do something about her hair, it needs lot's of conditioner." I listed aloud, "We should probably get her some new shoes too...Oooh, this'll be fun!" I skipped into the room where Kaoru was watching television.

"Yeah, here's a question. You are going to finance the shopping spree tonight right? Well, it'd be best if Ayu got a room to herself, a nice closet, and a few hangers, although, we can always get that while we're out shopping..." I chirped, turning around with a twirl.
 
"Erm... Professor? I understand she's technically a villain and all... but can she BREATHE in that thing?" I asked, now sweatdropping like mad. It was a valid point after all. "Oh, and Miyako's got a point! If you're adopting her, you need to pay for all of the shopping we help her with! And maybe a little bit of money for me to buy some candy... So, are you going to put her in our school, Professor? And why doesn't Ken go to school? He's younger than us, isn't he?" I was just a well of neverending questions! I'm not sure if they were all out of enthusiasm or concern, but all I knew was that I needed answers!
