Authors note: Hey everyone, FINALLY THE END OF THE STORY. I hit a block in this last installment of the 20 years series, so that's why it took so long to finish. I don't know if I'll do another PPG Fanfiction, I have a couple of ideas in mind but I'm still not sure of what is going to happen in after this. Some of my stories are gold but some I had to abandon or delete because they weren't going anywhere and I wasn't feeling it anymore. If there's one thing I know is that if a story doesn't work for me then it's not going to work for the readers either. So wish me luck in the future.

Final chapter 18

5 years later

It's a bright and sunny day in the summer in Townsville, everyone in the small suburban neighborhood are out on the streets. Some houses have kids playing on the lawn, some are tending to their gardens and others are having barbeques, like the family barbeque at the Utonium house hold. The Professor is in the kitchen preparing the burger meat, since the incident five years ago he has been using a cane to get around but otherwise he is fine. And he is no longer alone, nor is he lonely; he turns around sensing someone else coming into the room "did you get the ribs honey bunny?"

Elizabeth chuckles and rests the rack of ribs onto the kitchen table "sure thing pudding pop". She wraps her arms around his waist and put her head on his shoulder, looking over at the meat he's preparing "your nicknames are corny".

"Well I happen to think their endearing" The professor says turning to kiss her lips.

"Yeah back in the 60's" Elizabeth chuckles "it's ok though, I like them old fashion". She notices the professor blushing "white guys blushing are too cute". The professor turns fully around and the two share a passionate kiss.

"AHEM"

The aged couple turns to the sound of the voice and sees that it's Blossom, Brick and the twins who are now each 13 years old. Brick laughs "ewww old guy sex".

"Watch it young man" The professor smiles "I'm not dead yet am I?" Brick laughs as Justin and Bella run up to Utonium to give him a hug "and how are my grandchildren? Is your father behaving himself?"

Justin chuckles "so far".

"You never know" Bella says "the days not over yet".

"Ha, ha, ha" Brick says smiling "go play, you little brats".

Justin fly's over Bella teasingly and his sister chases him on foot "TO GRANDPA'S LAB".

Blossom looks over at them "be careful in there, and make sure the danger room level is on 1".

"They'll be fine" Brick says walking up to the professor "can I help you with some of the meat?"

"Sure thing" Utonium says as brick rolls up his sleeves and washes his hands "get started on the ribs".

Blossom stands by the kitchen doorway and watches the two, she remembered when Bella was born and Brick had to bring her back to life. The professor was completely irate but kept his composure when he had a heart to heart with brick himself and realized that the red ruff had a soul after all. He absolutely hated brick for what he had done in the past but supported blossoms decision to marry him because it made her happy. Now look at them, getting along with one another like father and son. Blossom smiles as Elizabeth walks towards her "never thought I'd see the day".

Elizabeth watches Brick and the Professor interact with one another while laughing "you're telling me?"She pats blossom on the shoulder and picks up another couple of pans of food "could you help me take these out into the picnic area?"

Blossom nods "sure" she picks up some of the food and the two women carry the dishes out into the back yard tables.

Brick rubs the herbs and season salt on the ribs then feels someone tapping his shoulder, he then turns to the professor "yeah?"

The professor looks back at him "yeah what?"

"Oh I thought you tapped my shoulder" Brick says

"no wasn't me" The professor then goes over to the sink and washes his hands , he then wraps them in foil wrap and keeps them on the tray on the counter "I'll get the barbeque grill ready".

"Ok" Brick says watching the Professor leave the kitchen, he then turns around to see that the ribs he was working on were gone. Confused he touches the counter and turns around to see if it's on the table, he doesn't see it and scratches his head even more confused. He turns to the counter again and sees the ribs have been put right back on the counter "what the hell?" the shelf above his head opens and a bag of chips ahoy cookies floats over him and towards the kitchen entrance. Brick sighs and grabs the cookies out of the air and puts them back in the shelf closing it. The minute he turns around the shelf opens again, he notices this and quickly closes it "knock it off". All he can hear is the sound of giggling in the air and something swooshes past his head, followed by more giggling.

Brick's face takes on a stern look as he reaches for the foil wrap, suddenly the foil wrap rises up and floats over his head and onto the table behind him. He sighs in frustration "I'm trying to do something here, do you mind?" he hears nothing but silence for a while. He reaches for the foil wrap again and yet again it rises up and floats above his head "come on, I don't have time for this". He reaches for it again and it's taken away again "if I have to come after you, you're not going to like it". Suddenly the foil wrap is dropped on his head, Brick growls "alright that's it"; he floats up and chases his invisible assailant throughout the house. A pillow cushion is flung at his head and he catches it and throws it back hitting the invisible figure, he hears the person falling onto the couch "gotcha" he jumps onto the couch and grabs what he thinks is the invisible person but discovers it's the cushion he threw earlier "cute, very cute". He hears more giggling and swooshing up the stairs, brick is about to follow when he sees boomer come in through the front door.

Boomer looks left and right then at brick "is he in here?"

"Yep" Brick fly's upstairs

Boomer looks back outside and smiles to his wife "he's here honey".

Bubbles walks in with a big bowl of potato salad "told you, where else is he going to go?" she goes through the kitchen towards the back door "hey everyone". She is instantly greeted by the others setting up the tables.

Boomer looks towards the staircase "you need some help brick?"

Brick fly's by and quirks an eyebrow "oh please, I got this, but you could look after the ribs, the dry rub is already on it, just wrap it up".

"You got it" Boomer says, walking into the kitchen.

Brick then turns to the task at hand "come out, come out, wherever you are". He hears giggling in the powerpuffs old room, he opens it up and goes in searching the area "oh where, oh where has my nephew gone". More giggling is heard to the right of him on the other side of the room, he goes over to blossom's vanity and picks up a bottle of baby powder "I know that someone is in this room, and that someone is YOU". He take squeezes the bottle of powder and the smoke from it blows on the invisible figure making them visible again, brick grins triumphantly "well if it isn't my arch nemesis, little mikey".

A small 5 year old boy with neatly combed ash blond hair, which looked white from far away and wearing a white shirt and small blue jeans. He dusts himself off and floats there staring at brick bravely with light blue eyes, he puts his hands on his hips and pushes up his chest "That's Mighty Mike, to you evil doer".

"You've got guts Mighty Mike" Brick says wickedly "facing me on my own turf, the lair of the infamous, Red Eye".

"Cut the small talk, Red Eye" Michael says "what diabolical plan do you have cooked up this time?"

Brick laugh maniacally "I'm glad you asked Mighty Mike, I will go downstairs into the kitchen and EAT ALL THE COOKIES IN THE SHELVES, MWAHAHAHAHAHA".

Michael gasps "you fiend, I will defeat you". He goes over to the side of the bed and picks up a small hand held vacuum "for I know your weakness".

Brick pretends to be afraid "no, you mean…"

Michael vacuums the powder mess brick created on the floor until it was spotless "that's right, your weakness is household chores".

Brick teeters backwards and leans against the wall of the room "how did you know my one and only weakness". He zooms out of the room and towards the hall.

"You won't get away from me Red Eye" Michael zooms off following him.

Meanwhile

Butch walks through the utonium door way "you know you're in the suburbs when the people leave their doors open".

Buttercup walks in with a bag of sodas and Megan with the plastic cups "well no one was stupid enough to barge in and try anything at the Utonium house, not with us around".

They all look up at the sound of someone shouting at the top of the staircase. Michael zooms and collides with bricks chest, brick falls backwards and lets himself fall to the floor on his back with Michael still on his chest " OH NO, I'm being defeated, you're too strong for me Mighty Mike, Green Goth help me".

Butch rolls his eyes "dude are we really doing this now, I'm hungry".

Blossom and Bubbles walk back in through the kitchen towards Buttercup and Butch "hey BC".

"Hey girls" Buttercup walks over to them and hugs them.

Brick wrestles around on the floor with Michael "Green Goth, I need some help here".

"Uh yeah" Butch says inching towards the kitchen "I need to replenish my powers with some "magic elixir"", he is about to go get a beer when Megan hops on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck "oh come on, not you too".

Megan chuckles "I've got this one Mighty Mike; you take care of Red Eye".

"Thanks Megan" Michael zooms out from under brick and grabs his foot dragging him off the floor. Brick laughs uncontrollably not being able to hold his character. Butch fly's around bucking Megan to get her off his back.

Boomer enters the room to see what's going on "Hey, hey, hey it's all fun and games till someone gets flung across a room.

Blossom looks over at Michael as he swings brick around by the leg repeatedly "Brick honestly, he's going to break something".

Brick laughs uncontrollably "ok, ok" he pulls his leg away from Michael and floats up right. He then holds Michael in his arms "to be continued".

Suddenly the lab explodes popping the door off its hinges and everyone stops in their tracks, Brick lets go of Michael and heads to the door along with the others "Bella, Justin, everything ok down there?"

Bella emerges from the smoke "MOM, Justin raised the levels on the danger room again".

Justin fly's out and glares at Bella "and Bella crashed another hover board".

"Damn snitch" Bella glares back at him.

"Bella" Blossom says "I told you about the swearing".

"Cool" Michael says "can I play next time?"

"Maybe" Bella says.

Megan gets off butches back "when your one of the big kids".

The professor walks into the kitchen to call everyone outside when he stops to look at everyone in the living room talking amongst themselves and the kids arguing with one another. He smiles while Elizabeth walks up next to him "quite the big family we have here, huh?"

"Yeah" Elizabeth says smiling "CHILDREN", everyone, adult and child alike look over at her "outside, let's get this party started". Everyone goes outside to the back yard where the grill is already cooking hamburgers. Everyone takes their seat and are about to relax when suddenly a beeping is heard.

Everyone looks at Justin's watch which was the source of the beeping. Justin presses the little red button on his watch and talks into it "what is it mayor?"

A tiny holographic screen pops up out of the watch and a young man in his late 30's with brown hair and brown eyes looks back at Justin sternly "there's a giant creature stomping through Townsville on the east side, and a bank being robbed in citiesville, I got the police heading to citiesville now. Which leaves the monster, you got this J?"

"Of course Mr. Mitchellson" Justin says with an equally stern expression on his face "we're on it" The screen goes away and Justin looks at Bella and Megan "you ladies up for it?"

"YES" Bella says enthusiastically

"WAIT A MINUTE" Blossom says "Don't get too excited, we haven't decided on whether you guys can go or not".

"Awww mom" Justin whines "you said we could take over".

"I know what I said" Blossom states sternly "but I meant whenever we couldn't do it". She looks over at Brick "right Brick?"

Brick slouches back in his chair "can't an old man retire in peace?"

"You're 38 Brick" Blossom says shaking her head.

"That's at least 100 in dog years" Brick grins at her.

"Brick" Blossom frowns at him.

"I think we should let them handle it" Brick says smiling at her, He then looks over at Justin looking him in the eyes "I believe that they have a strong leader to look out for them, so how about we let them shine for once". Justin looks back at him beaming with pride; the other adults at the table remain quiet in thought.

"Well" Butch says "it's not like they've never done this before".

"I wanna go too" Michael chimes in.

Bubbles puts an arm around him "it's a little dangerous mikey".

"Mighty Mike never runs from danger" Michael says.

Boomer puts a hand on his head "this isn't a game Michael".

"I'll take care of him" Justin says "I trained him on how to use his powers anyway, so he'll be ok with me, promise". He looks over at blossom pleadingly "please mom".

"Let the kids go Bloss" Buttercup says opening up a beer "I actually wanna see how they do".

Blossom groans a little and looks at everyone at the table, then looks at Justin; he had the same fiery spirit as she did when she was a kid. It was the look of a brave, strong, leader "promise you'll be careful and look after Michael, ok guys".

The kids cheer and scatter away from the table to get ready; the adults follow to see them off. Justin zooms out the door and turns to everyone "ok team we're going to split up in two's". He looks over at Bella and Megan who have their hover boards, Megan has her metal gloves and Bella had a net gun "Bella, Megan you two go west for the bank robbers, Michael and I are going after the monster".

"Right" Bella says revving up her hover board.

"You got it leader boy" Megan says charging up her gloves, they both take off in the direction of Citiesville.

Justin floats up along with Michael "ok Mike, like we rehearsed, maneuver 15, you get him high, I get him low".

"ZIG ZAG FORMATION?" Mike jumps up and down excitedly.

Justin smiles at him "yeah, let's go", he takes off and Michael goes with him. The Powerpuffs, The Rowdyruffs and the grandparents all step outside of the house and proudly watch the next generation of hero's save the day.
