"Talking"
I keep on having the same thought over and over again. About how I now have siblings of my own to play with and take care of. A part of me was curious as to why my father put in so much effort in making more children when he has me. I'll have to ask him when he comes back... from whatever he went off to. Anyway, me and my three new siblings where currently having some dinner in the dining room. I am eating my microwave ramen while the girls where having some frozen pizza, which I cooked mind you.
"Hey, Toby?" Bubbles spoke. "Where is the Professor?"
I slurp and swallow my ramen.
"I heard him mentioning about gifts earlier, so I'm guessing he ran off to buy you girls some gifts."
"Why would he want to do that?" Buttercup asks taking a sip of cola I gave her.
"Well, it's your guy's birthday. He just wants to get you all something nice."
"What did the Professor get you?" Blossom asks.
"Not much really, which I was fine with mind you. He sorta created me by accident one day and didn't know what to give me. I went with getting a cool fedora you all might of saw hanging on the hat stand on the way here."
"Wait, what do you mean he created you by accident?"
"Well, at first, he did created me to the be perfect little boy for him to raise. Though, the Professor accidentally added something called Chemical X into the batter when he was making me. I was born with very special super powers. From then on, the Professor not only took me in to be his son, but to also train me to be the hero of Townsville."
"Townsville?" Bubbles questions.
"Yeah, that is the city we live in. Well, the outskirts of it anyway."
"Why does the Professor want to make you into a hero?" Blossom asks curiously.
Just as I was about to answer, I hear the front door open. I get up from my seat and flew to where the door was. It was the Professor walking in with a stack of gifts that had the same color schemes as the girls.
"Oh, Professor. You're back." I greeted. "Gee, that's a lot of gifts you bought."
"Toby, where are the girls?" He asks while struggling to close the door behind him.
"They're in the dining room eating some pizza I cooked. Uh... do you need help with that?"
"No need, Toby. I am perfectly fine carrying these-WHOA!"
The Professor was cut off mid-sentence as he trips over the pesky welcome mat in front of the door. However, him and the gifts were saved by the sudden arrival of my sisters. Blossom held our father effortlessly while Buttercup and Bubbles managed to catch the colorful boxes before they fell. The Professor, minus me, stare in amazement at what have transpired. I already seen them fly when we all left the lab. Plus, I figured they have powers like me since the Professor used Chemical X on them too.
"Professor, you should be careful of where you are stepping." Blossom smiles as she puts our creator down. "You could slip on something."
The man in the lab coat just nods slowly as he was still awestruck.
"Hey! Are these for us?" Buttercup asks as she and Bubbles point to the gifts.
"They certainly are." I said. "Go on, girls. Go crazy."
With that, the girls flew to their assorted gifts and started opening them in a frenzy like children on Christmas Day. Me and the Professor just look on with smiles on our faces as the girls pick out their stuff.
"Hey, thanks!" Buttercup said holding a ton of toys.
"Yes, Professor. Thank you." Blossom thanked as she held onto some books and a globe.
Bubbles floats up with a stuffed octopus in her arms. "This is the best gift ever, dad, big brother."
She then proceeds to give both the Professor and me a kiss on the cheek. I blushed a little since I wasn't used to this much affection, but I smiled anyway.
"Yes... it is." I muttered.
I continue to watch my sisters go through the rest of the gifts as they all giggle cutely. However, a sudden feeling came to me. Like there was something important I should be aware of.
'Eh, it's probably nothing.'
Though, I did had a sudden realization.
"Say, Professor, where are they going to sleep tonight?"
That question gets to him as he too realizes the problem.
"Oh, I haven't thought of that." He sheepishly says. "Hmm... well, how about we let them sleep with you tonight?"
"Wait, with me?" I ask with wide eyes.
"Why yes. It would be perfect for them to spend some time with you. At least until we get them their own room."
"We could give them the one next to mine." I suggested. "We never really use it but to keep a few boxes in there."
"I was think the same thing, Toby." The Professor nodded. "We'll move them to the garage and start on the decoration. However, we'll begin working tomorrow. I still need to go and buy some furniture for the girls."
"Sounds like a plan to me."
Just then, we notice that the sound of ripping paper and giggling has ceased. We look to see that the girls were listening in to what we were talking about.
"Oh my gosh! Now we get to have a slumber party too!" Bubbles cheers as she spins in the air.
I just shake my head with a small smirk.
"You are just too cute, Bubbles." I commented.
It was late morning as me and the girls were just watching some cartoons in the living room. We were waiting for the Professor to come back from the store as he went out to buy some furniture he mentioned last night. He trusts me in helping the girls paint their soon-to-be new room while he was gone. Though, it didn't really take long at all as we all painted the walls pink in a few seconds. It is good to have powers.
"Hey, Toby, what do you and the Professor do around here?" Blossom asks.
"Oh, well, the Professor is a scientist in case you haven't notice. He usually spends his time in the lab making new inventions for some science association. As for me, I would either go around town doing some odd jobs."
"Odd jobs?"
"Yeah. Like walking someone's dog, deliver some bakery, fixing up some daily damages in town."
"Huh, I guess that's cool." Buttercup said.
"Say, you haven't answered my question yesterday. What was it about you training to be a hero you mentioned?" Blossom questions.
Just when I was about to answer, the front door opens up to reveal the Professor walking in with some bags in hand.
"I'm back, everyone." He said placing the bags on the coffee table. "The furniture is in car. Do you think you can-"
In a flash, the four of us flew outside and brought everything inside.
"-help carry them from the car. Err, nevermind."
"What's next?" Bubbles asks.
"Well, next, if you all are done painting the room, we can start putting in the furniture in-"
The Professor was cut mid-sentence again as the girls quickly started throwing their stuff into the room. The Professor blinks before he goes up to the room with us following behind. We picked in to see that the entire room was furnished perfectly. How the girls managed to throw everything in their spots with precision is a mystery to me.
"Whoa, this looks pretty good." The Professor commented. "What do you think?"
"Mmm... I think it's a little dark." Bubbles said.
"I like it dark." Buttercup crosses her arms.
"I think some windows would be nice." Blossom suggested.
"Yeah. I can see some windows." Our father goes over to a blank empty wall. "Right about... HERE. I'll call a contractor tomorrow-"
Yet again, the Professor was interrupted as the girls suddenly shot lasers from their eyes and cut three new holes in the walls. I look at them a bit dumbstruck.
'It took me at least a week to get the hang of using my laser vision when I was born. Yet, they did it perfectly on their first try. How?'
The Professor just blinks as he narrowly avoided losing his hair from being in the crossfire.
"Or... that works too." He chuckles sheepishly. "So, who's hungry?"
We were all in the kitchen as we were getting something to eat. I was enjoying some more ramen while the girls already brought out the bread, peanut butter, and jelly.
"Ready?" Blossom asks holding the bread.
"Ready!" Bubbles and Buttercup answered as they held the jars of PB and J.
Soon enough, Blossom starts throwing the slices of bread while the other two rapidly flick globs of PB and J at the wheat slices with precision. Once sandwiches were made, they landed on a plate on the table in the kitchen. The girls sat down and used their laser vision to cut the crusts off the sandwiches. They beam at their little accomplishment. Though, I can't say the same for me and the Professor as were were covered in peanut and jelly. My ramen was also ruined.
"You know, there is a saying, 'Say it, don't spray it.'" I said wiping away the sticky mess from my face.
However, the girls and the Professor just laugh at the little predicament that has transpired. Soon, I too join in laughing.
'So glad I kept my fedora away from this danger zone.'
We spent the entire day having fun and getting to know each other. I have to say that it was the best day ever... so far. There will always be better days, but today is best for now. Right now, I was just watching some anime movie called Pokemon with Buttercup. Blossom is studying with her new books, while Bubbles was coloring.
"Man, today was awesome." I said as the movie ended. "What do you girls think?"
I didn't get an answer. I look them over to see that they were asleep. I didn't even notice Buttercup was leaning against me till now. I look at the clock that was on the wall and it was around 9:00 PM at night.
"Huh, I didn't know it was this late." I muttered.
I should of realized that the girls at their age would be tired at this time of night. Just then, the Professor comes around the corner.
"Girls, it's time for-"
"Shh..." I shushed him as I gesture to my sleeping siblings.
"-bed." The Professor could help but give an 'aww'.
The Professor then goes over to them and pick them up. He then heads to the kitchen probably to give them a wash. I stay behind and begin cleaning up the mess the girls left. Though, as I pick up the papers, I see one of Bubbles' drawings. What I saw made me feel good inside. It was a drawing of all of us together.
"Something tells me we are going to be one big happy family." I smiled.
