Chapter 14: Birthday Bash
(Open POV)
Townsville…
The city skyline, with a bright sun smiling overhead.
"The city of Townsville!" The narrator chirped, as he continues, there is a drone flying down to street level and the drone dashed alongside the block, crowded with activity. "A bustling metropolis where the hustle and bustle of the city never ends."
There is an empty intersection.
"Day in, day out." The narrator said, and the sun sets and the moon rises. "But by night, these hardworking citizens…"
A boy is asleep in a tire swing.
"…tired…" The narrator said, while a plumber sleeps under a sink he has been working on. "…drained and exhausted…"
A mechanic sleeps beneath a car he has been fixing; next, there is see a dog asleep in a yard.
"…fall deep into a nocturnal slumber land." The narrator said, as the dog's eyes pop open. "What is it, boy?"
It begins barking frantically; across town, others take up the refrain.
"Who could be awake at this hour?" The narrator asked.
Townsville Prison…
There is an attack dog with a spiked collar; it is within the fenced outer perimeter of the jail. At the entrance, with two armed guards stationed at it; the doors open, and quickly down the hall, a second door is also being guarded. This opens as well; down to a third door, this one without any guards like the previous two. The locking wheel spins, and the door opens to reveal a set of bars in front of a black void. These slide away like a jail cell door. It is dark.
After a moment, Mojo Jojo's face is partially illuminated.
"Finally, after sitting and thinking for a very long time, I, Mojo Jojo…" Mojo said, leaning back, holding a box forward. "…have devised the perfect plan to crush the only obstacle keeping me from ruling the world!"
The box is made of steel and has a pink ribbon. At the end of the line, Mojo Jojo is in a cell, with a tire swing hanging from the ceiling.
"Once this gift is delivered tomorrow morning, all I have to do is wait…" Mojo said, holding the box above his head and laughs.
At the cell next to Mojo's; Princess Morbucks is inside. The cell contains a canopy bed and fancy furniture and wallpaper. Her cell looks like it was made a little more formal and proper for her compared to Mojo's while she sulks in prison for her own crimes. She is tying the ribbon on a round box. She wears the yellow Powerpuff dress and accessories she styled for herself in 'Stuck Up, Up and Away' after being provided the funds by her daddy to acquire them.
"There! That's perfect! No one will be able to resist this perfect package. I'll have my people deliver it tonight, and by tomorrow…" Princess said, holding the box up. "…this Princess will be Queen!"
Princess laughs. At the next cell on the block, holds the Amoeba Boys.
"So…" Bossman said. "…you thought we were a joke, huh? Yes, you thought we were cute. Well, now what do you think of us?"
Bossman looks at Skinny Slim and Tiny, a.k.a. Junior, next to him. He holds a present of his own.
"Uh…hey, Boss, who you talkin' to?" Junior asked.
"Uh…oh! Uh, I'm, uh, just practicing my speech for when we take over Townsville." Bossman said.
"Duh…you really think our plan is gonna work?" Slim asked.
"It's not only gonna work, but it's gonna…it's gonna…" Bossman said, fumbling for words.
"Work." Junior said.
"Right! So when our people deliver this package tomorrow, we'll finally get some R-E-C-P-P…uh…" Bossman said, getting stuck on the spelling.
"But, Boss, we ain't got no people."
"No…" Bossman said, pointing at the cell's toilet. "…but we do have that!"
The package is thrown into the cell's toilet, and the flush handle is pressed. The water swirls around the bowl.
(Jared's POV)
Outside Utonium Residence…
There is a smiling sun in a clear sky and at the girls' house, which has a big red ribbon on it. Stanley Whitfield stands across the street with a microphone, doing a news broadcast. The caption '5 NEWS' appears next to him.
"This is Stanley Whitfield, live in front of the Powerpuff household, where a birthday party is finally getting underway…" Whitfield said.
At the end of this, there is a lawn full of party guests and the news camera begins to pan across it. The Mayor and Ms. Bellum—her face hidden by a balloon—are present, as are the Professor, Ms. Keane, the Talking Dog, and I.
"…for Townsville's favorite heroines—the Powerpuff Girls." Whitfield said, as a voiceover.
The girls are looking up at a table loaded with presents. Bubbles and Buttercup wear color-coordinated party hats; Blossom does not, on account of her hair bow.
"I say we take a closer look." Buttercup said, smirking.
"Good idea." Blossom said, happily.
Bubbles giggles.
The girls fix their gaze at the pile.
"Professor, they're using their X-ray vision to see what's in the presents." I said, looking over at the girls. "That's cheating."
I am wearing a yellow and my outfit consists of blue jeans, a blue hoodie, and a white t-shirt.
The girls are looking at images of the items in the boxes fade into view—they are using their X-ray vision to peek inside and see what is in store for them when they actually open the gifts.
"Thank you for telling me, Jared." The Professor said, running over to the girls and popping into view, his skeleton visible thanks to their X-ray vision.
The Professor wears a white party hat, and has every intention of not letting the girls see their gifts until the proper time.
One group of guests are Madoka Kaname, Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura, Mami Tomoe, and Homura Akemi, and the other group of guests are Iroha Takami, Ui Tamaki, Tsuruno Yui, Felicia Mitsuki, Sana Futaba, and Yachiyo Nanami.
"No, no, no! Jared told me what you girls were up to! No X-ray vision!" The Professor yelled, and the view returned to normal and the Professor stands fully upright as he puts on a satisfied smile to ensure the Girls have their party properly. "You girls can't open presents until after you've had cake."
"Oh no." I said, looking down at the girls. "You shouldn't have said that."
"CAKE TIME!!!" The girls said, at the same time.
Everyone, including me, is at the table. Momoko Togame, Rena Minami, and Kaede Akino are also in attendance.
"Sit down!" Buttercup said, angrily.
We do so.
"Hap…" The guests said, starting to sing.
"NO SINGING!!!" Bubbles cried.
"CAKE!!!" Blossom yelled.
The Professor realized his screw-up from earlier with saying that fine print about cake before presents, and with the girls wanting to get to the presents ASAP, hence their hustle with getting to the cake and keeping everyone quiet from singing 'Happy Birthday'.
"Here you go." I said, taking out three more candles out of my sling bag, custom ones that were modeled after the girls. A green one for Buttercup, a blue one for Bubbles, and a pink one for Blossom. I used my ghost powers to light the candles on fire. "These ones were custom made by some friends of mine. They have songs in their hearts."
The Professor sets a cake with three candles—one of each girl's color—and I placed my candles into the cake, in front of the girls so they can get it over with.
"Okay, okay, here it is." The Professor said, and the girls took a deep breath. "Now blow out the can…"
The girls blow; the cake goes airborne and sails out of sight.
"Candles...???" The Professor asked, stunned and flabbergasted.
The Professor's one means to stall the girls from opening their presents is gone in an instant with him left at a loss for words.
"Jared, please tell me you have another way of stalling them." The Professor said, sadly. "Besides cake and blowing out the candles."
"Nope." I said, smiling. "I don't. This was your idea. Not mine."
"I know. I know. They won." The Professor said, letting out a sigh.
Now the girls can get to what they wanted in the first place now that the Professor's stall tactics have been removed from play and he has nothing left to use against them.
"PRESENTS!!!" The girls said, beginning to climb all over the pile, trying to decide which one to open first.
After a few seconds of indecision, finally, the girls hold up a box with light blue wrapping and a pink bow.
"This one!" The girls said, at the same time.
The crowd cheers. Hibiki Tachibana, Miku Kohinata, Tsubasa Kazanari, Shirabe Tsukuyomi, Kirika Akatsuki, Kanade Amou, Maria Cadenzavna Eve, and Serena Cadenzavna Eve are also attending the party. Whitfield is in the foreground, with the girls jumping excitedly by the presents.
"And this is the moment we've all been waiting for. Okay, girls, let 'er rip!" Whitfield chirped.
With that cue from Whitfield, the girls tear into the box, bringing scissors to bear, untying the ribbon, and ripping off shreds of paper. The Professor's voice stops the girls.
"Wait a minute, girls!" The Professor said, as he asked his next question in an almost sing-song tone. "Who's it from?"
(Open POV)
Townsville Prison…
The girls are on the TV screen and the outline of a TV screen is visible around the picture.
"Hmm. There's no name. Just this picture of a banana." Blossom holds the present up.
Mojo is laughing; the TV is in the common area of the jail. Prisoners sit watching; Mojo moves into view, his back to the TV.
"The Powerpuff Girls are moments away from their demise. Once they open that box, I, Mojo Jojo, will rule the world!" Mojo cheered.
"Sit down, Mojo." Princess said, nearby.
Mojo turns around to glare angrily at Princess for interrupting his victory. A prisoner is filing Princess' nails—rather hard to do, considering the fact that she still wears her gloves, yet she doesn't seem to mind or take notice of this.
"You haven't defeated anyone yet, and when your present backfires, I'll have my chance to exterminate those brats." Princess said.
"Yeah! And after Princess gets rid of 'em, then we'll get rid of 'em with our present!" Bossman cooed.
"Yeah!" Slim and Junior said, at the same time.
Mojo is still scowling at them in anger for trying to interrupt his moment of victory.
"Shut up! In a few moments, there won't be any presents! Whatever you had planned will be destroyed, along with the Powerpuff Girls!" Mojo said, turning back to TV. "Behold! The end is near…"
(Jared's POV)
Outside Utonium Residence…
The girls are looking down at Mojo's present as the sound of a box being opened is heard. They are looking down into Mojo's present.
"What is it?" The girls asked.
The girls are around the box—it is the steel container Mojo was wrapping. A fountain of machinery erupts from within and expands in all directions. When it subsides, the girls find themselves staring at a pair of huge metal feet. There is a towering robot, colored blue and purple, standing in the yard.
"I am a gift from Mojo Jojo. I hope you have enjoyed your birthday, for it will be your last." The robot said.
The girls and I gasp; the crowd does likewise.
The Mayor is completely oblivious compared to everyone else.
"Isn't that nice?" The mayor asked.
The robot lifts one foot and brings it down toward the girls; they scramble just before it hits the ground. The impact throws the guests into the air, and the girls rush to save them all. All the Magical Girls changed into their Magical Girl forms and landed onto the ground. The Symphogear wielders transformed into their gears and landed onto the ground. I changed from human to my ghost form and landed safely onto the ground.
"Girls. We're all good." I said, happily.
After everyone is safe on the ground again, the girls fly up to engage the robot. Its arms and legs extend in an attempt to hit the girls as they go in different directions. The head chases Bubbles and tries to bite her. They finally stop flying, leaving the robot tied in a huge knot and completely unable to move. Bubbles lands by the feet and delivers a kick that sends it crashing to the grass. The guests and I cheer.
(Open POV)
Townsville Prison…
Mojo's fellow prisoners jeer and boo him. His plan to destroy the girls has failed, so his earlier taunting and gloating was all for nothing, and he is justifiably livid about it.
"Shut up! SHUT UP!!" Mojo cried.
"Ha-ha!" Princess said, singing. "Mojo's a stupid monkey!"
The Boys laugh at him as well.
"Cursed Powerpuff Girls! I'll have my day!" Mojo said, angrily.
The other prisoners are still booing.
"In the meantime, move your big empty head. It's blocking the TV." Princes said, annoyed.
Mojo stomps away, seething with rage. Cut to her.
"Everyone, QUIET!" Princess said, while the noise stopped, and she pointed at the TV. "They're opening my present next."
(Jared's POV)
Outside Utonium Residence…
The girls, the crowd, and I are standing around Princess' gift.
"Oh! This one looks pretty." Bubbles said, happily.
"It does." I said, clutching the strap of my sling bag.
The Mayor is being held up by Ms. Bellum.
"Well, open it already!" The Mayor yelled.
Blossom and Bubbles untie the ribbon, and Buttercup lifts the lid, holding it overhead. We can see that the inside surface is a black-and-white bullseye.
"Ooooh!" The girls said, at the same time.
"There's nothing in it." Blossom said, looking inside.
"Hey, look, what's that?" Bubbles asked, pointing at the lid.
"It's a circular lid with three rings retracting outward." The Professor said.
"It looks like the thing you use for hypnosis." Sayaka said, sadly.
"It's some kind of strange eyeball!" The mayor said, excitedly.
"Hmmm…" Everyone, including me, said, at the same time.
We hear the sound of an aircraft flying overhead.
"Hey. What's that? Death." Kirika said, pointing up.
"Huh?" The girls asked.
"Oh." I said, looking up at a skywriting message high above us. "Right. Things haven't changed."
"'Happy birthday from Princess!'" The Professor said, reading the message. "…aw, isn't that nice?"
A missile roars into view. It bears Princess' seal and has a black-and-white bullseye painted on its nose cone. On the ground, the girls tense for action.
"Come on, girls!" Blossom said, angrily.
The girls take off.
"Nuking heroes? Princess really stooped that low." I said, crossing my arms.
Blossom flies out ahead of her sisters, straight toward the missile, but dodges aside at the last second to avoid a collision. She charges in again, this time toward the rear, and grabs hold of one of the tail fins. Pulling with all her might, she manages to wrench the end of the missile loose.
Blossom throws the missile aside and calls to Buttercup, "Buttercup! Look out!"
The missile roars towards Buttercup.
"Huh?" Buttercup asked, looking at the nose cone of the missile. "That's no eyeball…" She's fixated on the missile. "…that's a bullseye!"
The missile slams into Buttercup and carries her along; she tries to slow it down.
"Bubbles! It's going for the target!" Buttercup said, calling out to Bubbles who is floating in midair. "Get rid of the target! If we let the missile kill Jared and his friends, it will cause a paradox!"
Bubbles flies down, grabs the bullseye that was in the box, and throws it like a Frisbee. It sticks on the Professor's face; he screams in terror as several of the party-goers look at him with fear, including Kaede Akino.
"Get it off! Get it off, get it off!" The Professor said, worried.
"Right!" Hibiki said, running up to the Professor and pulling the bullseye free off the scientist's face and throwing it. "Sayaka!"
"What?" Sayaka asked, and the frisbee landed on her face.
"HURRY!!" Buttercup said, terrified.
"Okay." Sayaka said, shivering and flings the bullseye aside.
Tsuruno Yui ducks out of its path, and Felicia Mitsuki excitedly jumps up to catch it.
"I got it!" Felicia said, excitedly.
"Can't…hold…on!" Buttercup said, straining.
Buttercup loses her grip on the missile and is sent tumbling through the air. Now Bubbles moves in, speeding under the missile as it continues its nose-dive toward the ground.
"Arghhhhhhhh!" Felicia said, waving the bullseye. "I got it! I got it!"
Bubbles flashes past Felicia and snatches it from her hand, leaving her disappointed. She climbs into the sky again; when the missile follows, it leaves a trail of exhaust that causes everyone caught in it to cough. In the sky, Bubbles has a slight lead on her pursuer. She hurls the bullseye ahead of herself; the frisbee is spinning in midair. The missile roars into view and hits it, and an explosion fills the sky. The girls are floating in front of the house and facing me and the cheering guests.
"Hooray!" The guests said, at the same time.
"Phew." I said, rubbing the sweat off my forehead. "That was close."
(Open POV)
Townsville Prison…
The prisoners boo Princess. Another plot to eliminate the Girls foiled.
"That's not fair! I was so close!" Princess cried.
"Ha! You weren't any closer to destroying them than me!" Mojo said, leaning into view.
"Tough luck, suckers. I guess it's up to us to take care of business." Bossman said.
"Oh, puh-lease. You guys really think you're going to beat the Powerpuff Girls?!" Mojo exclaimed.
"You think you guys are so clever. But where you both failed, we will succeed!" Bossman said, looking between Mojo and Princess. "And then you'll…"
"Oh, shut up already. They're opening your present."
"What present?" Bossman asked, bewildered.
(Jared's POV)
Outside Utonium Residence…
The girls are holding up a long yellow box.
"This one!" The girls said, at the same time.
"Now, girls, make sure it's safe. You'd better read the card." The Professor said, happily.
"Yeah. You don't want it to be another missile." I said, smiling. "With us as a target."
"Hmmm…" The girls said, at the same time.
Blossom has this. She looks down at a skull and crossbones along with a message.
"It says, 'Happy birthday, Powerpuff Girls. From your bestest pals, the Amoeba Boys'." Blossom said, reading the message.
"Oh, well, no worry. They can't do anything right!" The Professor chirped.
"Agreed. They can't even be proper villains." I said, looking down at the ground.
The crowd and I laughed at this.
(Open POV)
Townsville Prison…
Everybody razzes the Boys. Princess and Mojo sit to either side of them as they give them a raspberry as well.
"Ha-ha!" Princess said, laughing a lot.
"Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah!" Mojo said, laughing.
(Jared's POV)
Outside Utonium Residence…
The girls open the present.
"Yaaay! Ooooh!" The girls said, at the same time.
The girls look at the contents: crude figures in the likenesses of Bubbles and Blossom. As Bubbles speaks, I looked down at one in Buttercup's image as well.
"Dolls!" The girls cheered.
"Aww, and they look just like us!" Bubbles said, excitedly.
The girls hold up their respective dolls, "Thank you, Amoeba Boys!"
"The Amoeba Boys gave the girls voodoo dolls without the needles. That's a weird present." I said, fixated on the voodoo dolls.
(Open POV)
Townsville Prison…
The Boys look pleased with themselves.
"Well?" Bossman asked.
"You gave them dolls?!" Princess exclaimed.
Bossman holds up several pins.
"Voodoo dolls!" Bossman said, laughing. "Let the torture begin!"
"You pinheads! You're not supposed to give them the dolls! The dolls are what you stick the needles in! Even their fanboy knew what to do with the dolls!" Mojo yelled.
"So? What's your point?" Bossman asked.
Mojo and Princess groan loudly in disgust and frustration at the Amoeba Boys and their continuing stupidity. A third attempt to take out the Girls having backfired due to the Amoeba Boys' idiocy. Above them, the party continues on TV.
"Now we'll definitely never destroy those brats!" Mojo yelled.
"We're sorry." The Amoeba Boys said, at the same time.
"Ohhh, don't take it so hard." HIM said, as a voiceover, in its effeminate voice.
Mojo, Princess, and the Boys gasp. The other prisoners are equally shocked, terrified, and unnerved at hearing the voice of evil incarnate.
"You can't expect to win every time…" HIM said, as a voiceover, looking at the TV, and he appears with a microphone. "…like me."
HIM looked back at the prisoners.
"'Him'!" Mojo, Princess, and the Amoeba Boys said, at the same time.
HIM speaks while looking at the TV and the screen outline disappears.
(Jared's POV)
Outside Utonium Residence…
"You see, the thing about gift giving is, it's the thought that counts. And obviously, thinking isn't your strong point." HIM said, speaking in his evil voice. "Watch and learn."
"HIM. I know you're there." I said, telepathically. "What are you planning?"
The girls are again gathered around the pile of presents.
"How about this one?" Blossom asked, picking one up.
"Jared, you don't want to mess with canon, do you?" HIM asked, telepathically. "You don't want to warn the girls of me."
HIM appeared behind me and I looked back at him.
"I don't." I said, telepathically. "I don't want to warn the girls of you."
HIM appears behind Blossom; the girls' eyes pop.
"Ooh, girls, that one won't do." HIM said, in its effeminate voice, speaking into Blossom's ear. "How about the strange-looking gift you didn't notice?"
"Or the strange-looking gift we didn't notice." Blossom said, as if hypnotized, holding up a bull piñata.
"Oh, look! A piñata! Professor, Jared, can we play with it, please?" The girls asked, at the same time.
"Say yes." HIM said, in its effeminate voice, speaking into my ear.
During this line, HIM nods pleadingly.
"Yes." I said, happily, with me becoming entranced.
The Professor is very wary after what happened with Mojo and Princess' gifts.
"Oh, now, I don't know, girls, Jared. Someone might get hurt." The Professor said, as HIM appears behind him; the Professor becomes entranced. "But what the heck."
"Yay!" The girls cheered.
HIM's eyes begin to glow; after a moment, the piñata does the same.
"Huh?" The girls asked, at the same time.
The piñata's eye, glows. After a moment, it narrows in anger. The creation grows until it towers over the girls. The crowd screams and runs for cover. I see a screaming kid with a balloon whisked out of danger and being pulled along by Ms. Keane. The Mayor is holding up a balloon animal.
"Ta-da!" The Mayor said, yanked away, dropping the animal.
Ms. Bellum has the Mayor by the hand and is pulling him along. Her balloon still hides her face. The bull paws the ground and charges at the girls. They take to the air to avoid it; it continues its rush and plows through a row of houses.
"Whoa! This bulldozing bull is busting up our birthday bash!" Blossom said, worried.
The bull rears up in the foreground, snorts, and thunders toward them again. They prepare to meet its attack, but it turns aside at the last second and smashes the pile of presents. The crowd and I are thrown into even more of a frenzy by the charges. The house is smashed to rubble when the bull plows into it from behind.
"Our presents!" The girls said, terrified.
That tears it. The destruction of the gifts, and their home, has them seeing red, and they angrily take the offensive to avenge their ruined birthday party, flying in three different directions. Buttercup pulls a cable loose from a telephone pole, and Blossom uproots a tree. Bubbles, meanwhile, flies up in front of the bull's face and gives it a big fat raspberry. This makes the creature angry, and it bellows and charges after her.
"Hurry!" Bubbles said, calling behind her.
Above the bull's hindquarters, Buttercup is twirling the cable like a lasso. She catches it around the midsection; it stops short and looks back at her threateningly.
"Uh-oh." Buttercup said, sadly.
The bull starts to buck all around, trying to throw her off, and she yells in fear and surprise. Blossom flies in, carrying the tree.
"Buttercup! Now!" Blossom yelled.
Buttercup drops to the ground and digs in her heels. The bull begins to slow down. She throws the free end of the cable over a nearby water tower, where Bubbles waits in midair and catches it.
"Got it, sis!" Bubbles said, dropping to the pavement, hauling on the line.
Buttercup joins in the effort. The bull is lifted into the air, now helpless to escape. Now Blossom flies in, the tree pulled back for a swing, and her face changing from an angry grimace to a satisfied smirk. She lands by the water tower, ready to unload, but stops when she hears me.
"Blossom, wait!" I said, walking behind Blossom. "Don't forget to use your blindfold!"
I have a strip of cloth draped over my outstretched hand. I tied this over Blossom's eyes, and she moved in for the finishing blow once again, this time grimacing again. She swings and scores a direct hit, and an explosion fills the sky.
"Bullseye!" The narrator chirped.
The explosion gives way to a shower of candy.
I turned my back to see HIM there for a moment, before seeing the entity disappear.
"Thanks for the candy, HIM." I said, smiling.
(Open POV)
Townsville Prison…
"And so, with the party crashed and their presents crushed, the Powerpuff Girls have finally been defeated." HIM said, speaking in its effeminate voice.
On the end of this, the screen border reappears and the other villains are watching.
"Defeated? What are you talking about?" Mojo asked.
"You gave everyone candy!" Princess yelled.
"Everyone loves candy!" Bossman said, excitedly.
"Oh, simpleminded mortals. You must plan for the future. What is candy today becomes cavities tomorrow!" HIM cooed.
"Just admit it. You lost!" Princess said, angrily.
"You destroyed no one!" Mojo said, angrily.
"Yeah!" Bossman said, looking at HIM.
"Why destroy, when I can torture with tooth decay?" HIM asked, giggling.
"Oh, brother." Mojo said, annoyed.
"What a sore loser." Princess said, letting out a sigh.
"What else is on?" Bossman asked, changing channels.
The TV screen fills with static.
(Jared's POV)
Utonium Residence…
I looked over at the remains of the party and across the lawn. A piece of Princess' missile sticks out of the ground, the smashed piñata still hangs from the water tower, and bits of the presents are scattered about. The girls are standing in front of the guests and looking very dejected. The Professor and I looked at them with deep concern.
"Oh." I said, looking down at the girls. "Right."
"What's wrong, girls?" The Professor asked.
"We're sorry, everyone. We just wanted a normal birthday party." Blossom said.
"But everything went wrong." Buttercup said.
"Our birthday was a disaster." Bubbles said.
"No! It wasn't! It was the best birthday party ever! Yep yep!" Tsuruno said, smiling.
"Yes! It was super! Super heroic!" Ms. Keane said, laughing.
"You see, girls? Everything turned out all right." The Professor said, happily.
"It did. It wouldn't be a Powerpuff Girls birthday if you didn't have anyone try to kill you." I said, happily.
"Speak for yourselves. That candy gave me a doozy of a toothache!" The Mayor cried.
The Mayor moans in pain as everybody else, including me, laughs. I looked back to see Whitfield is once again in the foreground.
"And so once again the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls." Whitfield said, laughing.
"Hey, buddy, that's my line. Let me show you how it's done, Junior." The Narrator said, annoyed.
(Open POV)
The narrator clears his throat as the standard end shot comes up, "So once again the day is saved—thanks to the Powerpuff Girls! Oh, I'm good."
