"Blossom, what are you doing?", asked Buttercup as she kicked a soccer ball lightly.

The girls were stuck in their room despite it being sunny. They were grounded for stealing cookies in the middle of the night and setting the alarm off because a stray laser eye beam caught the oven on fire.

"I'm doing some independent research about the history of dolls up to this point. The most popular brand so far is 'Darling Delilah'.", Blossom held up her Darling Delilah: business series.

"No duh, she fights ninjas on the weekends!", Buttercup picked up her Darling Delilah: Movie series.

Bubbles speaks up from the other side of the room playing tea party.

"I love her Periodical series, this Victorian era dress is historically accurate!", Bubbles waved her Darling Delilah in the air.

"Research is boring on its own, but.... I don't have anything better to do and.... I like Darling Delilah.... I may regret this, but could you tell me more?", Buttercup said as she sat down.

Blossom widened her eyes as she heard Bubbles float closer to sit next to her. She looked between her sisters and they looked at her in return.

She excitedly chattered about five different doll companies. Two of which are good and three that are failing.

"I don't understand, they are clearly super ugly! Why do they keep pushing the dolls?", asked Buttercup.

"His concept art is beautiful and he believes they just need a chance. However the translation to the doll molds are...", said Blossom trailing off.

"Not to mention the clothes are ugly.", commented Bubbles brushing her dolls hair.

Blossom and Buttercup talk about a few more dolls they know some information on with Bubbles piping up at times.

"What about Mondy Dolls?", asked Bubbles.

Blossom types into her laptop and clicked on the first article that came from an official site. She read a little bit of what the dolls are like and what the company is about.

"Seems to be a rising, independent star that's becoming really popular.", said Blossom.

"Alright, what's the underlying message and corruption?", asked Buttercup.

"I'll have to dig deeper later to find that out.", said Blossom as she takes a break from her research to go get water.

Buttercup goes back to kicking her ball and trying tricks. Bubbles is organizing her dolls by the color of their clothes.

Blossom floats down to the kitchen to see her dad cooking something that did not look good. Worried about lunch and dinner, she approached him instead of retreating to her room with a bottle of water.

"Professor? What are you doing?", she asked carefully.

"Oh! Hi Blossom, I hope you remember why you're grounded.", he warned as he doesn't want a repeat.

"Don't worry! I know!", she assured him.

He went on to explain that he was experimenting with from different cultures and has no idea what he's doing so far.

"I love experimenting but I feel like I'm just waiting food....", he said sadly.

Blossom racked her brain to figure how to help him. As she does, whatever he was cooking came to life and began to make a high pitched screech as it attacked him.

He struggled with it for a few minutes before Blossom blasts it with her laser eyes without moving from where she was. The professor looking at her with gratitude.

"I think you would probably do better if you took a cooking class! You might have to start with the basics though.", recommend Blossom.

"The basics can be really fun! Especially if we get to eat what we make.", said the Professor as he patted her head before moving to the fridge.

He took out a bottle of sparkling water and handed it to Blossom. She smiled, thanked him, then flew back to her room.
