Hello one and all to my first ever fan fiction titled 'The Other Me'. I would like to thank anyone who is reading this because it probably means that you are taking the time out of your schedule to read my fan fiction so thank you, thank you, thank you! I would like to remind you all that this is my first fan fiction so it may not be super great but I think I did an OK job on it. Reviews would be appreciated, weather they be good or bad (I could probably use the advice). Any way, none of the characters belong to me only the story is mine. So with that said, enjoy! :3
The Other Me
-x- (Ch.1) -x-
"What have you done to my sisters Him!" the girl with the red hair screamed at the giant demon. "Oh nothing. I'm just, holding on to them for a bit." Him smiled as the red-head grew even angrier. "Let them go now or I swear-" Him cut her off with a giant claw "Whyyyy would I let them go, just to get a severe beating? I don't think so!"
He gave a sinister chuckle "Of course, there isss a way to free them. All you have to do is run a little... 'errand' for me." He glanced down at the girl as she lowered her fists only to place them on her hips. "Alright ugly, what do I have to do?" Him's smile grew wider, and wickeder. He answered in a low sinister voice "Destroy the Powerpuff Girls".
The girl gave a wicked smile at that, only to have it fade into a frown "How am I supposed to beat them? They're in an alternate universe". "My dear child, how do you think I got here? I have the ability to transfer from dimension to dimension, that's why there is no 'other' meeee." Him reassured her.
"True." The girl stated in a low voice. "But what about the Oppressor? He'll get suspicious if I don't come home".
"Now Berserk, don't you want your sisters back? I know you would hate it if you didn't have someone to boss around". Him smiled as Berserk nodded.
"How about this, I'lleven give you a little gift, to help you out on your quest." Him waved his claw and a small bundle landed in Berserk's opened palms.
"What's this?" she asked while staring at the red package.
"Just a little gift from me to you, a special little potion I made from scratch. The instructions are on the label".
The red-head turned over the present and read the label, a wicked smile spread across her face. "I get it now," she said almost giddy-like, "This is going to be fun."
"Sooo, it's a deal then?" the demon smiled.
"Deal."

The city of Townsville. A sleepy city waking up to the rising sun, casting hues of pink and blue across the sky. On the outskirts of this particular city, three little girls are still in bed dreaming of the events that are to take place this Saturday afternoon. As sunlight filtered into the room a little red-headed girl slowly rose and stretched her arms in a yawn. The bow on her head was bent a bit and her long hair laid smoothly down her back. Next to her, a little blonde girl with pigtails in her hair yawned and opened her eyes slowly. She blinked a few times, adjusting her wide, blue eyes to the morning sun before she to sat up in bed. On the other side of the red-headed girl, a girl with short black hair still slept.
Poking the still sleeping girl, the red-head yawned "Come on Buttercup. It's Saturday. The Professor will be waiting."
Letting out a muffled grumble Buttercup pulled the blanket over her head. "I don't think she's going to get up Blossom." The blonde girl said in a tired voice.
"Well she has to Bubbles," Blossom replied, "It's an order." With that, Blossom put her hands on her hips and glared down at the lump under the bed that was her sister. "Come ON Buttercup. Wake up!"
"Ya. Ya. Five more minutes." Was the reply from under the covers.
Groaning Blossom jumped out of bed and yanked the covers off of her irritating sister. "NOW Buttercup."
Reaching for the covers and finding none, Buttercup sat up and glared groggily at the girl in the bow with blazing green eyes. "Give me back the blankets! It's Saturday and I'm going to do with it what I please. And that means sleeping in!"
She crossed her arms over her chest as the red-head shook her head. "Nope!" she exclaimed while staring at Buttercup with big, pink eyes., "Today we have plans with the professor. Remember?"
Blinking a few times before seeming to get what Blossom was saying, Buttercup jumped out of bed and stretched her arms in the air.
"Alright I'm up. Say, wheres Bubbles?" She looked around for her other sister but she was no where to be seen.
"Now where has that girl gotten to?" Blossom asked as she too looked around the room.
As the two girls looked for their lost sister, a faint giggling was heard coming from downstairs. Blossom and Buttercup looked at each other before slowly floating down the stairs and into the kitchen. There they saw Bubbles, helping their dad make pancakes. She was already dressed in a blue dress with a black band around the waist, and her pigtails had been remade. She giggled again as she saw her sisters float into the room.
"Oh good morning girls! It's about time you two stopped arguing and joined us for breakfast." the Professor, the girls' dad, said with a smile.
"Ya, the pancakes are almost done!" Bubbles exclaimed happily.
"OK girls, sit down." Professor said as he placed a big plate of buttered pancakes on the table.
"Oh boy. Pancakes!" Buttercup exclaimed as she flew to her seat and messily dug into her share, stuffing pancake after pancake into her mouth. Blossom sat down next to her and carefully cut her pancakes up into little triangles before swallowing them down politely. Bubbles tried to copy her sister, Blossom, but just ended up shoving the whole pancake in her mouth.
The Professor laughed as he sat down in his chair and opened the morning newspaper. "So, you girls ready for today?"
All three of the girls nodded their heads. Today they were going for a picnic with him in the park.
"It's such a beautiful day out, its the perfect weather for an outing." Blossom said cheerfully.
"Ya and all the little animals are sure to be out!" Bubbles exclaimed.
"Whatever," Buttercup said after gulping down her last flapjack, "as long as no stupid monsters ruin our day." Her sisters nodded, they needed a break from crime fighting. Lately it had seemed like the Hotline rang more than three times a day and the girls were worn out. If it wasn't a robbery it was another monster attacking the town and quiet frankly the girls were sick of it.
"Oh! Better get ready girls, time to get going." Blossom and Buttercup rushed up stairs while the already dressed Bubbles helped her father clean up after breakfast.

The clean spring air blew through Townsville central park as the girls and their father found a nice spot to set up. The park was a happy joyful place, full of people running and playing games, dogs and their owners played frisbee, squirrels chattering and running from tree to tree, it was a glorious day.
After the picnic blanket was spread out on the parks perfectly trimmed lawn the Professor told the girls to have fun and meet back in an hour to eat lunch. The girls flew off happily to join the other children playing in the park. The Professor, on the other hand, sat down on the blanket and took out a book to help him enjoy his quiet time.
"Tag! You're it!" Blossom yelled at Buttercup as she quickly tagged her sister and flew off.
"Get back here!" Buttercup yelled back as she took off after her giggling sisters.
"Nyah nyah! Can't catch me!" Bubbles giggled as again dodged Buttercup as she rammed through the air like a charging bull.
"Hold still!" Buttercup told her sister as she again zoomed through the air only to miss the cheery Bubbles.
"Aw, come on Buttercup. It's not THAT hard to tag someone." Blossom joked.
"Grrrr- Shut up Blossom!" Buttercup screamed as she flew like a bullet at her red-headed leader. Blossom, like Bubbles, just dodged with a side step. Buttercup twitched and was about to charge again when an audible 'BOOM' disrupted the quiet park.
The girls stopped there game immediately and turned to the Professor who looked a bit shaken. "Sorry Professor." Blossom groaned as she and her sisters flew off towards the noise.

The girls landed next to the jewelry store, a gaping hole in its side. Police officers were starting to arrive on the scene, putting up 'Do Not Cross' tape and examining the evidence.
"What happened here?" Blossom asked the closest police officer.
"Well Blossom, it appears that someone blew up the side of this store, took as much jewelry as possible, and just left. The owners said that they couldn't see much through all the dust and debris, but she did say that she caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a rocket or a... jet-pack, er somethin' another."
Blossom gasped "A jet-pack you say? Come on girls, I know exactly who robbed this store".
The girls flew off after Blossom who had set a quick pace, to confront the thief.

As they crashed through the roof of the perps home, the girls yelled out into the dust, "Not so fast, Princess."
"The Powerpuff Girls!" Princess gasped, "So, you found out it was me."
Blossom glared at the bushy headed, red-head "Give back the jewels you stole Princess."
"OK. I will. As soon as you make me a Powerpuff girl." She replied with a smirk.
Buttercup groaned, "Not this again".
Blossom sighed "Come on Princess, we want to enjoy the rest of our Saturday. Just hand over the jewels and we won't turn you in, OK?"
Princess stared at the Powerpuff Girls leader for a moment before crossing her arms indignantly, "No! I won't give anything back until I become a PowerpuffGirl!" Her last words turned into a scream that almost shook the whole house.
"Pleeeeease Princess." Bubbles pleaded, "The Professor will be so sad if we don't get back to the park soon."
"Oh." Princess blinked, "Well in that case, here." Princess held out the bag of loot she had plundered.
"D-do you mean it?" Blossom stammered, a bit shocked by Princess's behavior.
"Sure. Would I lie to you?" The young robber asked innocently.
"Yes." Buttercup grumbled under her breath.
"Um... well then.. thanks I guess." Blossom said as she reached to grab the bag of stolen jewels.
Before the red head could grab the bag, Princess pulled her arm back, "What do you think your doing?"
"Taking the jewels back?" Blossom answered confused, "You said I could take them."
"Ya, when you make me a Powerpuff girl."
"Grrrr. Just give us the jewels already!" Buttercup yelled. She flew at Princess and caught her off guard, giving her a nasty uppercut to the chin. Princess flew back and landed on the floor with a 'Thud' while Buttercup picked up the bag and handed it to Blossom. "Lets get out of here. I'm hungry".
"Ya sure." Blossom said taking one last look at the now unconscious Princess before flying after her sister .
Bubbles watched her sisters fly off before turning to the spoiled crook "Sorry Princess. You should have just listened." The blue Puff then gave a shrug and flew off.

After the girls had returned the stolen jewels, ate lunch at the park with the Professor, and finished their game of tag, the Utonium family went home. Night was approaching fast and Townsville was soon covered in a blanket of darkness.
"Good night my precious angels." The Professor said as he finished tucking in his daughters.
"Good night Professor." The girls replied before he left the room. All three puffs were quickly asleep, tired from the days activities.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
The hotline rang in the middle of the night. Blossom cracked open her eyes and glared at the buzzing phone. Knowing her sisters wouldn't even bother to wake up until she confirmed there was trouble, the tired red-head floated towards the phone and picked up the receiver. "Hello?" She yawned, as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Blossom? It's the Mayor. I need help!" The Mayor of Townsville stated frantically on the other line.
"What is it Mayor?" Blossom asked still a bit groggy.
"It's this darned pickle jar. It's stuck and I need a midnight snack!" He whined, "Could you come open it for me? Please, it's an emergency!"
Blossom groaned "Mayor can't this wait until tomorrow? It's after 1:00 in the morning-"
"NO!" The Mayor cut her off, "I'm hungry nooooow!" He complained.
"Oh... fine." Blossom said with another yawn, "We'll be right there." She then hung up the phone and crawled back into bed. "Buttercup... go help the Mayor."
The green puff kept her eyes closed as she asked, "With what?"
"He 'needs' his pickle jar opened again."
"Why do I have to do it?" Buttercup asked irritably.
"Because I'm the leader and I say so."
"That's no excuse! You go do it!"
"No you!"
"No! YOU!"
"You!"
"Make Bubbles do it!" Buttercup finally yelled, ending the argument.
"Fine." Blossom gave in, "Bubbles, you go help the Mayor."
Bubbles rolled over and glared at her pink leader. "Why do I always got to do it? I like to sleep just as much as you guys." She complained.
"Oh come on Bubbles. Please!" Blossom mumbled close to sleep.
"Sigh. Fine."
Bubbles rolled out of bed, grumbling under her breath, and quickly changed back into her dress. She then flew out the window to help the Mayor open his silly pickle jar once again.

When Blossom and Buttercup woke up the next morning, Bubbles was no where to be found.
"Bubbles!" The pink puff called around the house. "Ugh, where is she?"
"Beats me." Buttercup said with a shrug. "Did she go out to the park or something?"
"Oh I don't know. Maybe she's with the Professor. You go check the park while I ask him"
Both girls flew down the stairs, the pink one heading towards the lab, the green one to the park. Blossom knocked lightly on the door before entering the dimly lit room. Beakers, microscopes, and other lab equipment piled high on every table and shelf. Books towered to the ceiling. In the center of the mess was the lab coat wearing father figure of the girls. Blossom floated up behind him, and cleared her throat before asking, "P-Professor? Do you know where Bubbles is?" She wasn't sure why she was so nervous, this wouldn't be the first time Bubbles had flown off somewhere. Why, just last week they had found her asleep in one of the trees at the park.
"No, I can't say I have." The professor replied as he pulled the goggles he wore off of his face and placed them down on the lab table in front of him. He turned to face Blossom before asking "Is she at the park again?" At that moment Buttercup appeared at the entrance to the lab. She flew down to float next to Blossom. "Shes not there either." She comment with a slight shake of her head.
"Now where could that girl have gotten off to?" The professor asked puzzled as he rubbed his stubbly chin.
The quiet click of a door closing brought all three of them back from their thoughtful pondering.
"About time." Buttercup grumbled under her breath.
"I'm sure she has a good reason. Don't be to hard on her OK?" The Professor warned as his daughters flew up the lab stairs to meet their returning sister.
Bubbles, having just closed the door, spun around only to meet the glare of her sisters. "Oh, uh, hi girls. Did you have a good sleep?" She added an innocent smile at the end of her question.
"And just where have youbeen? Hmm?" Blossom accused lifting an eyebrow.
"Well?" Buttercup added menacingly, crossing her arms.
"Oh... uh... no where in particular, just uh... making sure Townsville is still standing." The blue puff stammered as her cover, the glare of her sisters never wavering.
"Did you even come home last night from helping the Mayor?" The pink puff asked, a tint of concern etched in her threat.
"Oh... um..." Bubbles lifted a hand to her mouth as she thought, "um... not really, no." She gave a small chuckle as she ducked her head, waiting for the scolding that was sure to follow.
"I swear, sometimes you act like the biggest idiot around Bubble-head." Buttercup mocked, humor threatening to waver her harsh tone.
Bubbles gave a small smile. "So uh, whats for breakfast?"

A red haze swirled mysteriously around the dark figure. Two glowing green eyes stared, unblinking, at the scene that floated in front of him. The figure gave a dark chuckle as he slid down in his chair "Oh this will be fun. Who knew that girl was so... mischievous."
The figure raised a claw, and with one sweeping motion, the picture changed. "I did pick well. Soon the end will be near for those accursed Powerpuff Girls!" The demon burst into a fit of laughter as he watched the plot of the Powerpuff Girls destruction unfold before him.
