~A/N: So this is my Powerpuff Girls Fanfic. The first few chapters are kinda suckish, but they get better, I promise!~
Chapter One
The Albino Girl With Pocky And An Umbrella
Ace scowled at the empty street, hating the fact it was always empty at night time. Snake was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed like a preschooler, tracing his finger on the concrete with one hand and resting his chin on the other. Li'l Arturo was fiddling with his switchblade comb, Maria. Big Billy was sitting on a dumpster with his chin resting on both hands, staring off into space. And Grubber... Well, let's just say he was just being Grubber.
"Hey Accce," Snake hissed, looking up. "Why is it ssso quiet?"
Ace glared at him behind his shades. "If I knew dat, would we just be sittin' around?"
Snake faltered and went back to concrete-tracing. "I was jussst asssking."
Ace rolled his eyes and looked back at the street from the alley they were hiding in. Why ain't there people wanderin' around? It's not that late at night...
Li'l Arturo looked away from his comb long enough to notice someone passing the alley from the opposite side. "Hey. Hey, Ace." He tugged on their leader's pants leg. "Look, a senorita's passing down there!"
Ace turned around and smirked. She was maybe around 16, with paper-white skin and knee-length black hair. She was wearing a tight red t-shirt and a pair of black khakis that were ripped at the ankles, and motorcycle boots. She was looking down, with closed umbrella or parasol in one hand and in the other was a small red rectangular box.
"Come on, boys, let's go." Ace came out from the alley onto the sidewalk and ran past a few buildings before turning into another alley, the others following behind. "You boys go hide somewhere, I'll see if I can shake her up a bit or somethin'."
"How come you getsss to scare her firssst?" Snake asked, which only resulted in a punch to the nose. He scornfully hid behind a dumpster with Arturo and Big Billy hid inside of it while Grubber settled for inside a small garbage can.
The girl was soon walking past Ace, still looking down. "Aww, did somebody get wost?" he mocked. She stopped walking and looked up, turning around somewhat eerily to look at Ace, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.
"...What's it to you?" She asked and started walking away.
Ace raised an eyebrow, hiding the fact he was startled someone would just walk away from the Gangreen Gang's leader like that. "Well, where ya goin' in such a hurry?" he asked, stepping in front of her.
"Leave me alone." She stepped around him and kept going.
Starting to feel annoyed, Ace grabbed her by the wrist holding the umbrella. "I don't think so. But, you got guts, kid, so I'm gonna give ya a choice. Either you's can hang out with us, or we can beat you to a pulp."
"And who might 'we' be?" she snapped, yanking her wrist out of his hold.
"Usss," Snake hissed, stepping out with Li'l Arturo from their hiding spot. Big Billy popped out of his spot and shouted, "Duh, hello!" Grubber jumped out behind her and blew a long raspberry.
She backed up against a wall. "And if I'm not interested in either choice?"
Ace laughed and cracked his knuckles. "It's gotta be one or the other."
"What'sss it gonna be?" Snake chuckled.
She stared at the five gang members and sighed. "I'm Lacy."
"Ace."
"Sssnake."
"Arturo, hola."
"Duh, Big Billy."
Grubber spat.
"He's Grubber," Ace pointed at the hunchback. "He only blows raspberries."
"Yeah, I figured that." Lacy said before suddenly smacking Ace on the side of the head. "And let's get one thing straight, here: No one, and I mean no one, touches me. Got it?"
Ace stood up slowly and rubbed where the umbrella hit, a bruise starting to form. "Yeah, I got it..."
"Good, so we all understand each other." She grinned and opened the small box the gang forgot she had. "Pocky?" She asked in held out five sticks with chocolate coated over them.
"What'sss Pocky?" Snake asked, taking one of the sticks.
"The most amazing thing in the world. It's a biscuit-cookie-stick with chocolate coated over it."
"Yah, I'll have some." Big Billy grinned and took a stick, Grubber followed. Ace and Arturo shrugged and did the same. Snake bit into his first, his eyes suddenly glazing over. Lacy grinned and pulled out a stick for herself. "What do you guys think?"
"Where did you say you got this?" Ace asked, tipping down his shades at her.
"Stole it from that Little Tokyo district here." Lacy beamed triumphantly and bit into her stick.
"Heh, mussst have taken a lotta gutsss..." Snake hissed, finishing off his.
"Yeah, Ace here already told me that." Lacy said, pulling another stick from the box and offering it to Snake. "Want another?" He eagerly accepted, even if he got an incredulous look from Ace.
"So what's your story, Lace?" He asked, thinking it was a funny coincidence how if he said her name like that it rhymed with his.
"One of those cliche ones where the parents disowned the child around the time they were six years old, just for being different. But I was taken in by someone like me, 'cept he had red spiky hair and wasn't around all that much, to be honest. He was pretty awesome, though, until..." Lacy stared at the ground. "Well let's just say bad things happened and I was alone again." She finished her pocky stick and immediately pulled out and bit into another.
"What was the senor's name?" Arturo asked, nibbling into his stick.
"Jack Spicer."
"Duh... did he die?" Big Billy tilted his head, his face smeared with chocolate even though he only had one stick.
She was quiet for a moment. "Yeah. He did. Apparently he was... murdered. By someone he idolized, at that. The bastard."
"That sucksss..." Snake looked down. "My dad wasss a total shit head to me..."
Ace cocked an eyebrow. "You've never told us that."
"Didn't ssseem like sssomething for me to bring up..."
Lacy handed Arturo her Pocky box and did something the gang, especially Ace, thought they'd never see.
She wrapped her arms around Snake and hugged him.
After a few seconds Ace cleared his throat to get Lacy's attention. "Well, do ya need a place to stay?"
Lacy turned to Ace and then looked at the rest of the gang. "Uhm, as long as no one minds..." There was a chorus of approvals and a few raspberries from Grubber.
"All right then, you can stay with us, Lace." Ace grinned and slung an arm over her shoulders. She glared at him and he quickly pulled it away, and the five green gangbangers led the albino teen back to their home in the Townsville dump.
