The giant pink monster with six eyes blinked several times as two green blurrs hit it at high speed right between the eyes. It's arms windmilled as it fell backwards only to be caught by Bubbles and Boomer who combined their strength to flip the onster over. It slammed against a nearby building dazed only to have a giant spider hit it seconds later. The spider raised it's head - looked at the six figures converging on it, and decided to play dead.

About six blocks over Blossom, Brick and Brite were pounding on another creature - this one mostly just shapeles blob.
"I tell you we need to Boil this thing."
"Brick, Stop trying to do your own thing!"
Brite shook her head and chuckled as the boy tried repeatedly to cut through the blob with his laser vision. As he did so Blossom went around counter-clockwise blowing her ice-breath over the the monsters in patches.
Bubbles, Boomer and Buttercup floated over to where the red-heads were working at cross purposes. Brite doubled over in mid air as the laughter wracked her body. Even though they were failing to destroy the creature they were succeeding at immobalzing it.

"Go get the Camera Boomer!" Butch called out, watching as the boy flew off to fetch it from it's safe perch.
Boomer noticed the monsters they'd already beaten up trying to crawl away and made shooing motions with his hands. They took the hint and Boomer returned to watch the show.
"Will you stop heating up the parts I'm freezing!" Blossom cried out at last.
"Freezing it wont get us anywhere, It'll just join up when it thaws out. We need to boil it away!"
"Are you kidding me. It's take forever to boil this away it's too large."
"It'd work if we ALL used our lasers!" Brick retorted. Boy and girl glared at each other as the monster slowly began to thaw and - out of some sense of Pity, Brite intervened.

Floating up to the girl she wrapped her arms around the red-head from behind, causing the girl to blush openly.
"His idea would actually work Blossom." She whispered, "It wouldn't be as fast but would probably be more permanent."
"I know. That's what makes it most annoying." Brick glared at the blond and red head and, noticing the look, Brite released Blossom and floated over to Brick - hugging him in exactly the same way.
"Why do you two have to fight all the time." She mumbled. "Lets kick this monsters -"

"RAAAR!"
All seven children suddenly found themselves slammed against the wall by a large blob of goo. They looked at each other and nodded in unison, leaping out from the sticky blob to impliment their plans.
"Attack pattern Jemini!" Blossom called out automatically. Buttercup and Bubbles responded automatically - circling the beast in opposite directions. Brite fell into the same pattern soon afterwards followed by Boomer and Butch while Brick floated to the monsters head and attacked it from there.
Outnumbered, The blob tried to leave the city but as it slithered along it started to first boil and then shrink out of existence. Bubbles wrinkled her nose at the smell.

"Well done gi..." Blossom began, then hesitated for a second.
"Try 'Everyone'." Brick replied in an annoyed tone, tapping his foot where he floated in mid air.
"Ah. Yeah..."
Blossom fidgeted for a second only to find Brite pulling both Red-heads into a group hug.
"The point is that everybody is starting to work as a team now." Brite insisted with a grin.
Brick was also grining for entirely different reasons.
"Let's head back to the professors." Blossom simply muttered before flying off.

"Gimme my Camera back."
"Yeah sure." Butch took the camera and flew behind the girls, trying actively to fly beneath buttercup and point the camera up her skirt.
It only took a second for Buttercup to notice. "Stop that you!" She declared, ditching her shoe at the boys head.
It hit but he retreived it on impulse and pocketed it. When they landed outside the Utonium house he gave it back to her with a smile.
"You are -"
"Cute, hansome, funny?"
"I was going to say annoying."
"I can live with that if I make you laugh. Now lets get this disc to the tv I know your sister will -"

Seven heads had metaphoric question marks above their heads as they noticed the purple Mercedies in the driveway.
It had a sign on the back declaring that people should "Honk if they love Jesus."
The boys examined it critically from as many different angles as possible.
"Crappy girls car." Brick commented.
"No kidding."
"I wonder who our visitor is?"
Bubbles landed at the door and looked up at her sisters. "Why dont we just go in and find out?"

Butch turned off the camera and changed disks as the troop entered the house and made their way to the living room.
"Well, yes. I was freinds with Dick, when we were in college. When the girls told me what happened I couldn't beleive it."
"Never-the-less we must take into account her upbringing and the events around her discovery."
"What's going on?"

Bobing into the room Butch, played close attention to the woman in the professors easy chair. The professor him-self sat stiffly on the lounge and was in the act of pouring the guest another cup of coffee from the Family perculator.
"Ah, Girls!" He said with a relieved grin as they entered, only to frown as the boys also filed into the loungeroom.
As there weren't enough chairs available the boys took up position atop the tv and the writing desk while the girls mearly floated into sitting positions.
"This is Miss Aid." The utonium father introduced the woman and her orange knitted jumper. She took a sip of coffee and smiled at the children widely, seamingly judging the boys for their sitting choices. Brick fidgeted subconsiously and lifted into the air alongside the girls.
He could tell something about this woman demanded he pay attention to small details and knew full well such things weren't his strong point. Boomer followed suit on noticing his brothers actions but Butch just continued leaning against the Tv, conspiring to look cool - despite carefully putting his camera on top of it and pretending the unit was turned off.

"It's pleased to meet you girls." she declared, "We have some things to discuss."
