[from inside bedroom] Okay! [back to the door] Presenting...Townsville's newest heroes! [the door opens, and she somersaults down the stairs to land in front of the Professor. She is fully decked out in the outfit that was hanging in the closet] Liberty Belle!
[A cloud of black fog seeps out of the room and down the stairs. It forms into a silhouette of Buttercup, with glowing green eyes and shreds of mist trailing behind]
[in a low, scratchy voice] Mange.
[from inside bedroom] And don't forget... [something white sails out and bounds all over the place like a crazed Superball before settling down. It is Bubbles, wearing the hood and a matching jumpsuit and carrying the lunchbox] ...Harmony Bunny!
BLBlossom/Liberty Belle
And we are...!
...Too late. [hangs up the phone as they watch in total bewilderment, then regards them with a raised eyebrow. It is clear he is disappointed in them screwing around for so long and not leaving at once to deal with the monster threat; dryly] Better heroes, huh?
[The girls hang their heads sadly]
[looks at his Jigglypuff watch] Confound it! Where can those blasted girls be?! [high-beam headlights play over the two of them] Oh!
BLBlossom/Liberty Belle
[stops the car and climbs out] Sorry we're late, Mayor.
BHBubbles/Harmony Bunny
[bouncing into view, dismounting] But we're here!
BMButtercup/Mange
[dropping into view] And ready to fight!
Splendid! But there's a teensy little problem. THE MONSTER LEFT! Better heroes, huh?
[Again the girls hang their heads for being tardy to the fight]
SMSteve the Monster
STOP!!!
BLBlossom/Liberty Belle
Huh?
BHBubbles/Harmony Bunny
What?
SMSteve the Monster
Better heroes, huh? Listen, girls. My name is Steve. I'm a monster. I've been coming here for three days, causing all sorts of damage to your town. And what do I get? Two days of no-shows, and now this. A flag girl who does rope tricks, some rabbit, and Little Miss Darkness who's afraid of a little sun.
BMButtercup/Mange
Hey! Do you have any idea who you're talking to?!
BHBubbles/Harmony Bunny
We're superheroes!
BLBlossom/Liberty Belle
Real ones!
SMSteve the Monster
Yeah, well, that's great and all. But what am I supposed to tell the guys back on Monster Isle? You see, when a monster visits Townsville, he must fight the Powerpuff Girls. And if he can hold his own and make it back to Monster Isle alive, he's a hero. Now, this new bit is just not gonna cut it. Sure, you didn't have a thirst for vengeance, stickers with faces on them, or souped-up vehicles 'cause you didn't need them. [takes the Girls' costumes off] See, even if you take away the costumes, the props and the angst, you still have all the bravery and courage it takes to save the day. So, what do you say? [knocks over the building] Powerpuff Girls?
[The girls smile at each other]
[The girls charge at Steve]
SMSteve the Monster
Now, that's better. [finally gets beaten up by the girls]
So, once again, the day is saved, with no thanks to Liberty Belle, Harmony Bunny, or Mange, but to the one and only Powerpuff Girls!
