Sugar, Spice, and Super Lice

(The episode begins with Buttercup putting a tape with the title "Thrash" into a music tape recorder. A slideshow of pictures goes by, each one with her hair longer than the previous picture. She then flips her hair and breaks a lamp and her radio - despite the music still playing - and then finally flipping Blossom and Bubbles onto the wall, causing the wall to crack and their eyes to become dots)

Blossom: Buttercup, what are you doing?

Buttercup: Rockin' out.

Blossom: No, I mean what are you doing...with your hair!

Buttercup: Oh. I'm growing a righteous floor-length mullet. Just like Thrash did back in the day. Business in the front, month-long party in the back!

Blossom: And...all over the house? Also, it looks like a giant, gross, itchy knot!

Buttercup: Sure does, swister. I'm not brushin' it, trimmin' it, nor washing it.

Blossom: Look, if you wanna grow out your hair, you have to take care of it.

Buttercup: I beg to differ. I think nature will take its course. If any part of my glorious mane becomes damaged, it will depart my dome in a healthy molt. Just like Bubbles found out when it was her turn to clean the bathroom.

(Flashback to Bubbles looking in the bathtub. A lock of Buttercup's hair grabs her and pulls her in the bathtub, and Bubbles screams. Then back to the present)

Bubbles: The horror...

Blossom: These are exactly the kinds of things you do that cause problems!

Buttercup: No, you're exactly the kinds of things that cause pro---bleh!

Professor Utonium: It appears that Buttercup has...super lice.

Blossom and Bubbles: Super lice?!

Professor Utonium: I haven't seen a case this bad since the 80s.

Blossom and Bubbles: The 80s?!

Professor Utonium: Yes, that's what killed the mullet craze.

Blossom and Bubbles: Mullet craze?!

Professor Utonium: And if Buttercup went for the full floor-length mullet, I'm afraid there's...little hope. Dang it, Utonium! You should've seen it coming...

Bubbles: What do we do, Professor?

Professor Utonium: There's only one thing we can do. I have to send you girls in. I've made some modifications to this all-purpose utility vehicle. I've attached a bug bomb to the back. You'll be shrunk down to the size of the super lice, and fly into Buttercup's hair. From there, go to the base of her cowlick, drop the bomb, and get out. And girls, don't forget, they're super lice. That's why I'm sending in super heroes. Be careful. Be focused. Oh, and I packed you some kangaroo yum-yums and juice boxes! But don't eat them until later.

Blossom and Bubbles: (already eating) Okay!

Professor Utonium: Girls, good luck. We're all counting on you.

(He presses a button on a remote-control device which causes the vehicle to shrink. Blossom and Bubbles, not knowing how to control it, scream until they crash-land in Buttercup's hair)

Bubbles: (groans slightly)

Blossom: Are you okay?

Bubbles: I...I think so.

Blossom: Good. Let's get the bomb to the cowlick. It should be just outside of...town? (Zoom out slightly to show a small town)

Blossom and Bubbles: (look at each other) Huh?

Super Lice: There they are (from oc, then appear)

Lice Mayor: Oh, our heroes!

Blossom and Bubbles: Heroes?/

Lice Mayor: You've saved our little town!

Blossom: Saved you from who?

Lice Mayor: From the evil queen. Your spaceship landed on her.

(He points to underneath Blossom and Bubbles' vehicle, where the queen's legs roll up under the vehicle. Blossom and Bubbles cringe at this.)

Lice Mayor: She was always terrorizing us and berating us for being so helpless and cute! (He makes a cute face)

Bubbles: That monster!

Blossom: Stay focused, Bubbles! We've got a job to do.

Lice Mayor: Everybody, let's throw a festival in our heroes' honor! (The rest of the lice all cheer, and hold up Blossom and Bubbles as they all happily run away cheering)

Blossom: B-b...but we...

(Back at the PPG house, Buttercup is lying on the table still unconscious with her eyes closed and her mouth open slightly. The Professor is sitting in a chair to her right and holding a book, about to read to her.)

Professor Utonium: Okay, Buttercup, let's read you a bedtime story. There once was an electron that thought he could, but he wasn't positive.

(Back to the lice town)

Blossom: Well, I have to give it to these super lice. They did an amazing job colonizing Buttercup's head.

Bubbles: Yeah (eating candy) today was wonderful! The massages, the photo shoot, the cool face painting...

Blossom: Bubbles, you missed all of those things because you didn't pay attention to the schedule they gave us.

Bubbles: And because of that, they gave me this digital assistant so I never miss important stuff again! (She brings out her phone) Remind me to say hi to Blossom now.

Bubbles' phone reminder: Reminder to say hi to Blossom now.

Bubbles: (eyes turn to dots, excited) Hi Blossom! (giggles)

Blossom: Bubbles, we have a job to do.

Bubbles: Yeah! We need to get more candy.

Blossom: No, they finally left us alone for a minute. It's the perfect time to get that bomb. Head to the cowlick, and destroy...(She is cut off by a louse entering the room)

Lice Blossom: (giggles) Sorry to interrupt you. Just replacing your candy stash.

Bubbles: Candy! (She takes the bowl and pours a bunch into her mouth) Look, Blossom. She has a bow like you!

Lice Blossom: Yeah, my friends say I'm a Blossom because I like science.

Blossom: (gasps in awe, impressed, and her eyes sparkle)

Lice Blossom: And my best friend is totally a Bubbles!

Bubbles: Aww! Mine too! (Her eyes sparkle in the same way Blossom's did)

Lice Blossom: Ah, anyway, enjoy the candy! (She walks out)

Bubbles: Uh, what were you saying, Blossom, about destroying the town, and all of its inhabitants?

Blossom: Oh! No, I wasn't saying...I was saying, it's too late to detonate the bomb now.

(Blossom and Bubbles both climb into bed)

Blossom: I'm sure Buttercup will be fine. For the time being. We'll help her after the festival.

Bubbles: The one in our honor?

Blossom: Yeah, that one.

Bubbles: (takes out her phone) Remind us to help Buttercup after festival in our honor. (She and Blossom both fall asleep)

(Back to the PPG house, where the Professor is still reading to Buttercup)

Professor Utonium: All the little electron wanted was to leap to the next valence shell. But he just couldn't find the energy. (He then looks at Buttercup and feels sorry for her, then puts down the book) Oh, Buttercup. I'm sure nothing will distract your sisters from saving you.

(Back at the lice town, Blossom and Bubbles are sitting in thrones with their faces on the back of them. They are facing toward a stage. The lice are taking care of them and fanning them; treating them like royalty. A louse brings over a bowl of candy to Bubbles)

Random Louse: More candy?

Bubbles: Yay, candy!

Another Random Louse: (on stage) I am the evil lice queen and I am super mean.

Lice Blossom: Not so fast, evil lice queen! I am Blossom, a superhero!

Lice Bubbles: And I am Bubbles, also a superhero! But I have pigtails!

Blossom: Interesting interpretation of us.

Bubbles: Oh, this is based on us? Wow, I did not get that.

Lice Blossom: And now, I will drink the blood of the fallen queen in hopes to gain her power and use it for good! (She laughs evilly)

Super Lice: (cheer)

Bubbles: At least they got that part right.
