Puffs and Ruffs in Equestria

Ch.1 World of Horses

"The city of Townsville! But you all know that. Let's just get on with the story which takes place at the Utonium house where the beloved heroines the Powerpuff Girls and reformed ex-villains the Rowdyruff Boys are just relaxing and enjoying life. Of course, what they don't realize is that they will soon be somewhere else other than Townsville."

Blossom, who was tutoring Boomer in their room, heard what the Narrator said and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "What do you mean? Where are we going?"

"Oh, you'll see. In about a moment."

Blossom then shrugged and continued with teaching Boomer math. "Okay, little brother. Now you know that one plus one equals two, right? So that means two plus two equals..."

Boomer thought about it and then answered "Three?"

Blossom's smiled dropped and she let out a sigh. "No, Boomer. That's not it. Okay look. One plus two equals three. But if you combined it with two..."

Boomer looked confused until he made a smile. "Oh! I get it! Five!"

Blossom then face palmed herself and said with a stern look "No Boomer! Four plus one equals five!"

Boomer scratched his head nervously. "Blossom, math is so confusing!

"Boomer! this is simple math! Even someone as nuts as Butch can figure that out!"

"Well I can't! I can't count in my head like you, sis!" Boomer said in complaint.

Blossom made a face of sympathy as she said "Boomer, math is a big part of growing up. If you don't know how to do math, you won't be able to learn other things like how to handle money, or tell time, or paint."

"Why would I want to paint?" Boomer asked confused.

Buttercup then came in and said rudely "In fact what does math have to do with painting?!"

Blossom glared at Buttercup and answered "Well, for one thing, painting takes shape and form, like the inches of a square or a triangle, or a cube or a pyramid."

"Aren't a cube and a square the exact same thing? And the triangle and pyramid?" Buttercup asked in a smart aleck manner.

Irritated, Blossom changed the subject and said "Do you mind? I'm trying to teach Boomer the power of equations."

"Yeah, I do mind!" Buttercup said with a shrug. "Me and Boomer are supposed to go and pull pranks on Mojo today! And by the time you teach him these numbers and junk, we'll be over seventy."

Blossom made an annoyed look. "Seriously? You need him to help you prank villains again?"

"Hey, it's called 'sibling bonding.'" Buttercup said in an expert sounding manner.

"No, it's called 'getting into trouble!'" Blossom argued.

Buttercup rolled her eyes and said "Oh whatever! If I didn't know better, I say you have no idea how to have fun!"

"Fun?! You call making people miserable fun?!"

"Why do you even care if we prank Mojo? He's a bad guy!" Buttercup pointed out.

"Buttercup, if you're not careful, you could pull pranks on good people because you're bored of pranking the same person!"

Buttercup felt mad about what Blossom said. "What?! Oh yeah right! What do you know?! You're not our mom! You're just our big sister who tries to act like a mom and never has the time to have at least a little fun!"

"Oh yeah?! Name one time!" Blossom challenged.

Bubbles then came in after over hearing Blossom and Buttercup talking about fun and answered "Do you remember the time I asked you to join me Brick, Boomer, Bunny at a tea party? And you said you were too busy?"

Blossom narrowed her eyes to the floor and said "Well... I did say one time."

"And then when I asked you to help me color, you said that I can do it myself, and there was a time when you choose not to go to a party, or visit Robin, or Mike, or..."

Blossom rubbed her head in frustration as she said "Alright! I get it! I haven't been loosening up recently."

"If by recently, you mean for the last three months!" Buttercup retorted.

Blossom got so irritated that she bursted out "Look! The reason I'm not doing the stuff you is because we're not gonna be kids forever!" Hearing her say that made them have mixed feelings. "There's gonna be a time for us to grow up."

Buttercup crossed her arms and said with a raised eyebrow "Well, if you ask me, Bloss, I say you're trying to grow up way too fast!"

Blossom was a bit taken aback of those words. "And what is that supposed to..."

Then they heard a crashing sound down stairs which made them jump. "What on earth was that?!" The Professor said from the lab. They all went to where they heard the noise and saw a broken lamp and Butch on the floor with a skate board. The Professor made a stern look at Butch. "Butch Jojo! What did I tell you about a skate boarding in the house?!"

Butch rolled his eyes and said "Never do it."

"And yet you did it anyway!" The Professor rubbed his head as if he had a headache. "Every time I ask you to do something, you neglect to do it! And when I've told you to follow some specific rules, you ignore them! What am I going to do with you?!"

"Military school sounds appropriate!" Blossom suggested with her arms crossed.

The Professor glared at Blossom and said "Young lady, that is for me to decide!"

The Professor then turned his attention to Butch and while he was lecturing him, Buttercup saw Bunny and went up to her. "Bunny, you know my soccer practice is tomorrow, right?"

Bunny made a shy expression and said "Um... Yeah."

Buttercup then lead her outside in the back yard as she instructed "That means all of you guys are gonna be there watching me, cheering me on, right?"

Bunny thought about it and said "Yes, I know that."

"And what I'd like to hear from you guys is..."

Bunny then raised her hand in excitement and said "Oh, I know. We must show you encouragement, support and believing in me from the heart!"

"Right! And I need you to remind me that I can do it! By cheering me on!" Buttercup said with eagerness. "So let me hear you cheer!"

Bunny did so, but did a soft and quiet one. "Yay."

Buttercup was dumbfounded of hearing such a poor excuse for a cheer. She face palmed herself and said "Are you kidding me?! That was the most pathetic cheer I've ever heard!"

Bunny looked guilty when Buttercup said that. "Sorry. It's just... Well... It's night time, and I don't want to wake anyone up."

"It's only six thirty! No one goes to bed that early. Now just do it louder!"

Bunny made yet another quiet cheer. "Yay."

Buttercup crotched her eyes. "I said louder!"

"Yay."

"Louder!"

"Yay."

"LOUDER!"

Bunny huffed up some air looking as if she's going to make it louder this time, but instead, she made another soft one again. "Yay." Buttercup made a discouraged face and fell backwards in defeat. Bunny covered her mouth and asked "Too loud? Sorry." She then saw Brick coming leaving a red stream. Bunny hopped for joy exclaiming "He's here! Brick's home! Big brother is home!"

Buttercup lifted her head up at Bunny with a mad glare as she said in sarcasm "Oh sure! Cheer for the eldest and not me! Thanks a..." Buttercup then stopped realizing that Brick was coming home. She looked at the distance and saw the red stream. "Brick! It's about time."

Back inside, in the kids' bed room, Blossom and Bubbles were sitting in their beanbag chairs discussing about Buttercup's soccer practice and Blossom said that she has too much stuff to do. Bubbles made a frown and said "You know Blossom, maybe Buttercup is right. You are trying growing up too fast."

Blossom face palmed herself. "Bubbles, not you too!"

"But it's true! Every time I ask you to do something fun with me, you say no and make an excuse about it. It's really getting old."

"Yeah? Well... So is the fact that you don't know when enough is enough!"

Bubbles felt offended. "What do you mean I don't know when enough is enough?"

"Well, when yesterday's special vent is over, you try to think of something else to do today and say 'let's go to the mall and look at animals and toys!' Or 'let's do a slumber party here at our house and invite a lot of people!' You always try to make everyday like a holiday! It's tiresome!"

Bubbles then shunned Blossom, arms crossed chin up and eyes closed. "At least I'm trying to keep people happy!"

"Bubbles, I'm trying to help Boomer with his studies and you dragging him to do stuff is distracting him from doing so!"

Brick then came in from the window and saw that he was in the middle of a conversation. "Oh! Uh, sorry. I didn't know you two were discussing about something. I'll just go down stairs."

Brick did so only to be greeted by the Professor's shadow. He looked up and saw him look down at him with his arms crossed, and he didn't look very pleased either. "Brick, where have you been?"

Brick shoulder and said "I was down at the store getting stuff you told me to get."

"Which took you nearly an hour when it should've took you only fifteen minutes!" The Professor added. "What have you been doing?"

"I was on my way home, but then Fuzzy and his nephews came out of nowhere and tied me up in rope! And some strong rope too. I was having a hard trying to break free, until finally I broke it in half. Then I beat the snot out of them, but then a monster started attacking, so I went and beat him up, then I found some dude take the groceries, so I went after him and beat him up for stealing it."

The Professor made a shocked expression. "You did what?! Brick! What were you thinking?! You could've just took the groceries away from him and warn him not to do it again!"

"I did give him a warning!" Brick argued.

The Professor wagged his finger at him saying "Don't argue with me, young man! You know what I mean! As of now, you are grounded for being late and for a week for doing such a reckless act!"

Brick was outraged of what the Professor just said. "What?! You've gotta be kidding me!"

"Would you like a spanking, too?" The Professor asked strictly.

Brick looked down at the floor calm but still mad. "No."

"Then march up stairs!" The Professor ordered pointing at the stairs. Brick did so grumbling.

Later that night, the Puffs and Ruffs were in there beds as the Professor said good night to them. He looked at Brick who had his back turned on the door. He looked sympathetic at the red Ruff, wondering if he was a bit hard on him. When the Professor closed the door and left, Brick lifted his head up and said to himself "This is ridiculous! Every time I'm late or not doing my job right, he grounds me! And he was discussed of the fact that I beaten up a thief!"

Blossom held her head up and said to Brick "Maybe the reason he's shocked of that is because you lost your temper that time. I can imagine that that's the case."

Brick looked at the sheets, thinking that he can't argue with that. "Okay, I might have got a little steamed, but I was only trying to do my best to finish stuff, including fighting monsters and bad guys."

Buttercup then lifted her head and said "I know that feeling. I take the enjoyment of fighting criminals! And I like to make them miserable because they deserve to be miserable!"

Blossom faced Buttercup and said "The fact that they are criminals doesn't make it an excuse in making fun of them! If you're not careful, little sister, you could wined up hurting the wrong people!"

Buttercup groaned. "Again with this?! I thought we've decided to drop it! Why do you have to be such a sour puss?"

"Excuse me, I'm having to help Boomer with school, make good grades, keep us together, and..."

"Blossom, I tried my best!" Boomer said from the top bunk. "I've thought it long and hard, I've equaled two times two with the same number, and you keep on saying I have to use my brain! But I just can't count in my mind, okay? I'm not like you."

"When have any of us been like each other?" Butch said. "You guys choose to follow the rules which wrongfully outlaws fun! Something you would do, Bloss!"

Blossom scoffed at Butch and denied "I don't want to outlaw fun!"

Bubbles then shot her head up and said to Blossom "Then why don't you have fun? You nearly have the time to relieve yourself of your stress."

"Alright, enough of this fun stuff! Especially from you, Bubbles!" Blossom snapped.

"See?" Butch said with a shrug.

Bunny sat up and was about to say something but hesitated, fearing that something she said would not work or make things worse.

Buttercup looked over at Bunny asking "What's up? If there's something on your mind, might as well let it out."

"Oh! No, it... It won't do good. I'm sure it won't." Bunny answered.

Buttercup face palmed herself and said "Bunny, this is just like when you refuse to make a loud cheer because your afraid of waking up the neighborhood!"

"I'm just... Afraid of making people angry or disappointed. I don't like making people mad."

"Hey, I got mad when you couldn't give me a loud cheer! I swear you just too timid. Blossom is too busy, Brick is grounded, I don't see how things could be worse!"

And before they could say anything, they felt a strange vibe on their skin. "Huh? Wh-Wh-what's going on?!" Blossom asked confused. "My skin is all crawling!"

"Uh... Guys? This is scary! What's happening?!" Boomer asked in fear, looking at his hands.

The Puffs and Ruffs then disappeared into thin air.

Meanwhile in Equestria...

Twilight was having a picnic with her friends talking and laughing when Pinkie said "Hey Twilight? I've been meaning to ask this ever since your brother got married!"

Twilight picked up a drink as she asked confused "Really? You've had a question for a long time and you never told us?"

"I was kind of embarrassed at the idea of saying it, thinking that you might find it awkward." Pinkie admitted clopping her hooves together.

Twilight then smiled and assured "Oh Pinkie, I'm sure whatever question it is, I wouldn't find it so awkward."

Twilight drank from the straw as Pinkie Pie said "Well, it's about Shining Armor and Cadence, and I've been wondering... Are they gonna have colts and fillies?"

Hearing that question made Twilight spew the juice out in shock at Rarity's face. Rarity glared at Twilight who realized her mistake. "Oh! Sorry, Rarity." She then faced Pinkie. "Pinkie, Shining and Cadence have only been married for months. Don't you think it's a bit early to be thinking about them having children?"

"I know, but I just can't wait to see what their babies would be like! I wonder if they would even consider a babysitter."

"But Pinkie, aren't ya'll already a baby sitter?" Applejack asked. Besides, they live far away from Ponyville."

Rainbow Dash then got in front of Pinkie and said "Yeah, and don't even think about having me carry you there!"

Pinkie looked down in discouragement. "Aaaawwww...! So Twilight's brother might not be a father...?"

"That'll be for him and Cadence to decide, Pinkie." Twilight said.

Spike, who over heard the conversation, looked down and admitted "Well, I hope they decide soon. I would like to be an uncle."

Twilight rolled her eyes at what Spike said. "Oh Spike." Then spike belched out flames which formed a letter. "Oh! A letter. Princess Celestia must want something."

Twilight's friends gathered around her as she reads the letter. "What does it say, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"She writes that she needs us present at her palace as soon as possible. She says it's important. And if that's the case, it looks like we're heading to Canterlot. Let's go, girls! You too, Spike!" With that said, the Mane Six took off to the train station.

As soon as they arrived in Celestia's palace, they entered the throne room where Princess Celestia awaited them. They approached her and bowed to her. "Princess Celestia, did you happen to have summoned us?"

Celestia smiled at her subjects and answered "Yes, I have. I have developed a special task for each of you, including Shining Armor and Cadence."

"Shining Armor and Cadence?" Twilight asked surprised.

"Yes, and as soon as they arrive..." Before Celestia could say another word, Shining Armor and Cadence came through the doors.

"Twily!" Shining Armor exclaimed, happy to see his younger sister.

"Shining!" Twilight was happy to see her 'BBBFF' as well. They ran to each other and embraced in a hug.

"How have you been, little sister?"

"I've been doing great! And you and Cadence?"

"Everything's just fine."

Cadence came up to them and said "Hey, Twilight!"

"Hey, Cadence!"

They then performed their handshake dance. "Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake, clap your hooves and do a little shake!" They then hugged as they giggled.

The moment was then ruined when Pinkie approached them in hops as she asked eagerly "Oh! Oh! Oh! Shining! Cadence! It's so good to see you two! I've been meaning to..."

Twilight rushed to Pinkie and covered her mouth making her muffle in her hoof. Shining Armor and Cadence looked at Twilight and Pinkie with raised eyebrows. Twilight chuckled and said with a nervous smile "Eh... Don't mind her."

Shining and Cadence shrugged and bowed to Celestia. "Your majesty."

"You summoned us, Aunt Celestia?" Cadence asked.

"Yes."

"Is there something wrong?" Shining asked with his chest up.

"No need to worry. Come with me." Celestia left the thrown room with everyone following her down the halls. "I've called you all here because I have a special task for each of you here today. And it is at the utmost importance that you take them, because it might help you all in your future."

"Meaning?"

Princess Celestia led them to a door which could only open with alicorn magic. She unlocked the door as she explained "What I mean is preparing you for caring for the next generation. To look out for the young of tomorrow." The doors then opened slowly. "And in order to do so, I'm going to put each of you to the test by caring for these children." Celestia stepped aside to reveal the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys lying in cushions and pillows fast asleep.

Well, it looks as though the Puffs and Ruffs are in the world of Equestria. If this chapter was too fast, let me know. And feel free to tell me which ponies you think each of the Puffs and Ruffs you believe should be ask her to. (R&R)
