The city… of Townsville!

It was a random Friday, and for once, all was quiet. No world domination endeavors from Mojo Jojo; no terrible tantrums from Princess Morbucks; no vengeful ventures from Silico; no infernal imbroglios from HIM; not even a caper from a common criminal. But despite the peace within the city, the Powerpuff household was battling a different kind of chaos…

Real life.

"I told you," Blossom said crossing her arms, "I'm not going to some stupid party!"

Bubbles burst into tears, causing Blossom to roll her eyes. "Oh, knock it off," she said, annoyed. Bubbles may have been the most sensitive of the three, but she wasn't this much of a crybaby. No, she was weaponizing her acting skills to make Blossom feel bad, and they both knew it.

At once, Bubbles shut off the waterworks, but still looked at Blossom with pleading eyes. "But it's to celebrate the release of my new album! And you've been working so much lately! Pleeeease?"

"Bubbles," Blossom said, exasperated. "You know we're on the cusp of a scientific breakthrough, and I'm one of the brightest minds they've got!"

Buttercup scowled. Blossom was always the responsible and studious one, but this was ridiculous. "Come on!" she said, irritated. "When's the last time you had even a bit of fun?"

"Hey!" Blossom shot back. "I have fun!"

Buttercup scoffed. "Yeah… doing equations, and watching the back of your eyelids. You're telling me work is more important than supporting your sister?"

Buttercup's words were like a slap to the face. Blossom looked back at Bubbles, who was still giving her puppy dog eyes.

She supposed it couldn't hurt…

And so, Friday became Fri-night. The three sisters were all at the event, enjoying themselves to varying degrees. Bubbles was dancing, and having a blast; Buttercup was kicking it with the various guests; and Blossom was sitting at the bar, and enjoying the vibes.

And there you were, having managed to score an invite to the event. What's your story, stranger?
