I'd like to thank I'd like to thank Dominator225 for making the Crystalline creature scene in this chapter

'Sooooo...boooooorrrrrrreeed...' Bubbles thought to herself, as she dropped a handful of potato chips into her mouth, which she chewed up lazily. This was rather odd, as Bubbles, who was probably the most happy-go-lucky out of the Powerpuff Girls, was basically sitting around doing nothing. Out of all the girls, Bubbles was being the least productive.

Blossom and Buttercup would work out once in a while or fight each other for fun. Bubbles would usually play with her stuff animals or play with her dolls. But what she did the most was eat! Her appetite had increased and it was beginning to show. She was now at least 15 pounds fatter than Blossom and Buttercup. Her belly was curvier and when you looked at Bubbles, you could see a tiny bump, which was her fat. She was still sort of skinny but with the way she was heading, she won't be skinny for long.

Bubbles looked to her left to see what her sister's were doing Blossom was sitting on the far end of the couch, reading a book like usual. And Buttercup was sitting between her and Blossom while playing video games on her D.S to keep herself occupied. She then turned her head back to the TV while she continued eating out of a family sized bag of chips.

This normally wouldn't happen, but crime has dwindled in the past few weeks. Calls from the Mayor were uncommon, and the girls hardly remember the last time they saw a giant monster. Since there basically were no crime issues, this wave of boredom should have been expected, since crime fighting is ultimately the only thing the Powerpuff Girls ever do besides going to school, and a few other special occasions when they and the Professor would go to an event or something along those lines.

The room was quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the crunching of Bubbles' chips and the tapping of the buttons on Buttercup's controller, since the sound was broken on the game she was playing on. Blossom struggled through a few minutes of it, but trying to read over those obnoxious and ever-repeating sounds were a little too much. She closed the book, although a little harder than she was planning.

Bubbles slowly turned her head towards Blossom "Is something wrong?" she asked curiously, Blossom gave a light sigh "Oh nothing...it's just that the lack of crime is driving me nuts I guess." "I hear ya." Buttercup agreed, not taking her sight or focus from her game, "I've been wanting to punch something for a while now." "Well, that's not saying much. You always want to punch something." Blossom said. There was no doubt; Buttercup was always the most violent out of the three. Bubbles turned her eyes back to her bag of chips and resumed eating.

"True..." Buttercup said as she paused her game and looked at Bubbles, "Though, couch potato over here is starting to look like a decent punching bag." "Buttercup!" Blossom shouted. Bubbles shrugged. "I didn't mean I was going to hit her." Buttercup said, "What I meant was, she looks like she's starting to pack on some extra weight. Come on, that's like, the tenth bag, and all those chips have to go somewhere."

Blossom gave Buttercup a hard look before looking at Bubbles "Bubbles, could you stand up please?" Blossom asked "sure." Bubbles replied as she lifted the bag to her mouth and let the last of the bag's chips slide into her mouth. She then stood up off the couch, and Blossom stepped beside her, perfectly parallel with Bubbles. It wouldn't be noticeable at first, but now that Blossom stood next to Bubbles, it was obvious. Bubbles was a little bit wider, and her stomach poked out roughly four inches.

"Buttercup is right Bubbles." Blossom said as she gave Bubbles' abdomen a light pat, "You have put on weight." "I have..." Bubbles said, as she patted her stomach herself. "Well, I know one blond haired Powerpuff who's going to be cutting back, am I right?" Buttercup asked. "What do you mean 'cutting back'?" Bubbles asked. Buttercup slapped her face, "Cutting back, as in eating less!"

"But why would I cut back?" Bubbles asked, "If I'm hungry, I'm hungry." "True." Said Blossom, "But most of the time, if nothing else, you're eating. There's no way you can be as hungry as often as you're eating, and not to mention for as long as you eat. You just downed an entire bag of chips Bubbles, and bags that big are meant to be eaten over a few days, or at parties or something, not by one person, in one day."

Bubbles shrugged, "I was hungry." "Quit shrugging as if it isn't a problem." Blossom said sternly, "And you're not eating out of hunger; you're eating out of boredom. If you were eating out of boredom, you wouldn't have eaten this entire bag after having lunch about half an hour ago. Bubbles, I hope you realize that if you keep eating like this, you're going to get fat."

"More than that," Buttercup continued, "I can see it already, Bubbles sitting on the couch, her butt taking the whole thing up, stuffing her face with chips, ice cream, and -" "Buttercup..." Bubbles muttered. "- cookies, and hundreds of other foods, then all of a sudden, WHAM! She crushes the couch." Buttercup continued. "Stop it Buttercup..." Bubbles muttered a little louder. Her eyes were beginning to water. "How long do you think until she gets to that point Blossom?" Buttercup asked. Before Blossom could tell Buttercup to stop the Powerpuff Hotline rang (much to her relief), its red nose blinking on time with its alarm. Being the closest, Blossom answered it.

"Yes Mayor? What...?" She gasped, "We'll be right there!" "What's up?" Buttercup asked, standing up. Blossom then took a big breath. "Something that looks like a giant snowflake has appeared above Townsville." Buttercup just looked at her like she'd grown an extra head. "You are kidding right?" she asked her. "No, this is serious, but at least we finally have some exercise!" Blossom yelled. "Come on Bubbles!"

Once the girls were out their window they stopped when they saw what they up against: The snowflake creature they were about to fight was HUGE, so huge it completely covered the sky above the city and blurred out the sun; though not quite blocking it. This was creating a hazy light blue and purple light that covered the entire city, only adding to the drama.

Although the snowflake creature didn't really look that much like a snowflake at all: It looked more like a giant tree that had been frozen into a purple-blue, crystal-like structure, the rest of its body was still higher up in the sky beyond the clouds.

"Oh my gosh…its enormous!" Bubbles exclaimed, having now calmed down from what Buttercup had said. "We've finally found something that's actually meant to be enormous too." Buttercup joked elbowing Bubbles who glared at her. "Buttercup X-ray vision, lets see what we're up against here." Blossom ordered. Buttercup then activated her X-ray vision, but then she slammed her hands over her eyes. "OW!" she yelped. "Its too bright to look at with X-ray vision!" Buttercup complained rubbing her eyes.

The crystal creature then shifted across the sky towards the girls. It now covered everything patch of sky above the Pokey oaks suburbs, slightly darkening the area. "Uh…I think we got its attention some-how, any ideas leader girl?" Buttercup asked Blossom. "Well…it hasn't caused any trouble at the moment so we can't just rush up and smash it." Blossom said.

Before either of her sisters could reply a bright white beam of light shone from the one of the creature's 'branches' and shot at the girls who had their arms over their faces in a boxer guard. The beam chimed as it somehow stirred up the wind around the girls and they all screamed as they were yanked off the ground by an invisible force. They then grabbed onto Bubbles arms who seem too heavy for the beam. "What's going on?" Buttercup asked over the noise. "I don't know!" Blossom yelled. "We're being pulled towards it!" she explained.

The beam after a minute then moved away towards a nearby field. Blossom and Buttercup then fell into a heap on Bubbles bloated belly. "Well at least we had a soft landing." Buttercup commented. Once they recovered they looked around: the lawn that they were standing on was now just grey sand where only a moment ago there was lush green grass and flowers. Bubbles looked ready to burst into tears; she had planted those flowers herself.

"Okay…I know enough about lasers to know that whatever that was…it isn't a laser." Buttercup then said after a minute of silence. "I think we'd better follow that beam before it does something worse then kill grass and flowers." Blossom stated as she hovered higher. Bubbles wouldn't leave. "Just leave her, she'll be better once we come back." Buttercup said. With that she and Blossom flew off after the beam.

They found the beam slicing through a school football field leaving in its wake more of the grey sand as it traveled. "What is this thing doing?" Buttercup asked. "Looks like some kind of…consumption beam." Blossom mused as she watched it travel. "Uh can you say that again in English?" Buttercup asked. "Basically this is that things tongue, sucking organic matter as it moves, kind of like how a butterfly sucks nectar with its proboscis." Blossom explained.

Just then another white beam shone from another branch on the crystalline creature, this one landed near a forest and then as it advanced inside nothing stood a chance of survival: trees, animals and even fungus were simply devoured by the beam as it ripped the forest apart, leaving the same grey sand in its wake, larger piles where trees used to be. "Im glad Bubbles didn't see that." Buttercup said in a shaky tone. "Are you OK Buttercup? You sound like you're on edge." Blossom stated. "I don't know, maybe all this hazy blue light is getting to me." She murmured.

Suddenly the two girls saw a huge blue energy blast shoot from their house. It hit the crystalline creature on one of its branches making it glow a dull red colour, but it didn't seem to do any damage. "YOU MONSTER!" Bubbles screamed as she rocketed towards the giant crystal like creature in the sky. Then using both hands she fired the biggest energy blast any of the girls have ever mustered at the base of the branch one of the consumption beams were coming from.

At first the branch simply glowed like before, but then she heard a tinkling noise like glass cracking, through her energy beam Bubbles could see that the branch was breaking and that cracks were appearing all over where her beam was hitting the creature. She then fired her heat vision at the same spot, that did it, with a mighty crash the base of the branch shattered into shards of crystal, making the rest of it simply fall from the sky, the beam that had been coming from it vanished.

The crystalline creature then screeched loudly in pain, making every window in Townsville break into pieces, the creature was also shaking rapidly, making the ground quake with the immense vibrations. The Powerpuff girls had to cover their ears to ease the pain regretting their super hearing. The creature then flew quickly out to sea before then climbing higher into the sky then out of sight, making the sun return to full strength.

The girls regrouped on the ground. "Running away after only one injury? For a big fella he has low tolerance for pain." Buttercup commented. "Maybe it was just simply shocked at how Bubbles was able to hurt it at all." Blossom mused as Bubbles landed next to her, she was panting from using so much energy. "I hate you monster snowflake! And im coming for you! You're on my hit list pal!" she then yelled after the creature. "Bubbles I think it's gone." Blossom then said to her. "That's right sissy! Run away!" Bubbles then said proudly.

Blossom then turned to the giant branch that fell off the creature, it was roughly the width of a house and as long as a street, it had smaller twigs and shards of crystal all over it. "Let's get this thing to the professor, maybe he can determine what it is and where it came from." Blossom said to her sisters. She was about to pick the branch up when she felt a sharp stinging sensation in her right hand. "OW!" she yelped and yanked her hand away.
