[edit] Plot

While the three Powerpuff Girls are sleeping in their bed, they hear a truck outside. Bubbles thought it was Garbage Day, which she thought it shouldn't be. When they get out of bed, they looked out their windows, and then fly from their rooms and outside the front door and it was the moving truck.

They go to the hedge and remain quiet as the new neighbors were moving into the house that the Smith family used to own, though the Smith family first appeared in the episode, Supper Villain and were sent to Jail in Just Desserts. Bubbles told Blossom and Buttercup that she thought the new neighbor would be a beautiful lady that falls madly in love with Professor Utonium. Then the guys were pulling weights and Bubbles changed her mind if the neighbor was strong and manly, but Blossom told Bubbles that women lift weights, too. Then they saw a thing that has two pairs of those clothes where one says, "His" and the other one says "Hers", and the three Powerpuff Girls said that those two people would have to have been married. Finally, the see a box that says "TOYS", but Blossom tells Bubbles that there's also lots of old people that play with toys, also. Then a girl was standing next to the box, and Bubbles thought it was a little man standing next to them, and Buttercup corrects Bubbles that it's a girl, not a little man, because of the long hair.

Bubbles introduces herself to Robin Snyder and asks her questions about what grade she's in, what her favorite color is, what her favorite animal is, and if she likes drawing. Robin tells the three Powerpuff Girls her name, and as she answers Bubbles' questions, she omits the one on what her favorite color is. Bubbles thinks that the answer "elephant" answered the question of what her favorite color is. Then, Bubbles tells Robin that her sisters are named, "Blossom", and "Buttercup".

Then, the three Powerpuff Girls bring Robin into their house and introduces her to their father, Professor Utonium. Then, they go upstairs to The Powerpuff Girls' room. They play around, including Robin building the blocks with Buttercup knocking it down, Bubbles and Robin drawing each other with their own paper and crayon. While the three Powerpuff Girls and Robin jump on the bed, Professor Utonium comes in and tells them that Robin's mother called and it's time for her to go home.

As they go down stairs, Robin jumps and falls and lands on the ground and she sees them floating, and the three Powerpuff Girls tell Robin that they forgot to tell her that they have superpowers.

Then, the three Powerpuff Girls and Robin have some fun together, and Robin tells them that Townsville was the best place she ever lived. Robin introduces her cat named Ginger to the three Powerpuff Girls and tells them that Ginger catches mice, but doesn't eat them. Bubbles tells Robin that they had a cat from the episode Cat Man Do for about a week once, but turned out to be an evil kitty. Buttercup tells them that Professor Utonium invented a pet for them named "Beebo" from the episode Pet Feud, but had a problem because of eating too much. Then they play a board game, called Monopoly, and argue about the money they have to pay. Then Robin and Buttercup compete each other in the Remote-Control racecar race as Bubbles cheers for Robin, and Robin wins on Buttercup in the race.

At the Mayor's Office, the Mayor is eating his pie. Then he hears Sara Bellum on the speaker, and tells him that the monster is attacking Townsville and has stepped on his house. He quickly picks up the Hotline to call The Powerpuff Girls. But, The Powerpuff Girls were with Robin with their eyes closed to go to the big playset in Snyder Family backyard. Robin tells them to open their eyes, and tells them that her father built it for them. Then they play.

At the Mayor's Office, the Mayor tells Sara Bellum that The Powerpuff Girls will not answer the Hotline. Sara Bellum picks up the Mayor on the rear end of his uniform, walks upstairs, outside on the roof of the office, and pulls the blanket off the fresnel that shows the symbol of the heart pointing into the sky, as it shows in every episode that either The Powerpuff Girls or any of the other characters saved the day.

Robin sees the symbol in the sky and the three Powerpuff Girls tell her that they had superpowers to save the day and stuff. Although The Powerpuff Girls get too busy to fight crime, Robin finds it difficult to be friends with superheroes. The Powerpuff Girls fight crime for days, often leaving Robin away from them.

The Powerpuff Girls walk Robin to their school, Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, and Buttercup tells Robin that they never walked to school before, and then Bubbles tells Robin that it's fun but sure takes a lot longer. Then, a white limousine pulls up and stops near them. Princess Morbucks was riding in it after she opened up the window, and asked them to ride in it, but Blossom told Princess that they would rather walk their new friend, Robin to school. Princess told them something about $5. Blossom asked whether it would be $5 to ride in it, or $5 to be a Powerpuff Girl. But then, Princess changed her mind and said to just go, and Princess closed the window, and the limousine drove away quickly.

Then, at Pokey Oaks, the three Powerpuff Girls told Robin if she's ready to meet Miss Keane and the rest of the class. Miss Keane opened up the door and told the three Powerpuff Girls that the Mayor called and needs them pronto. The Powerpuff Girls apologized to Robin and told her that she'll have to introduce herself to the class, with them. After the three Powerpuff Girls left, Princess went up to Robin, and told her to stick with her, although Robin was supposed to introduce herself in front of the class.

Then, Robin and Princess have fun each day. Then, Robin and Princess watch a show on the huge TV, then the News come up on the screen with the three Powerpuff Girls fighting a monster. Then, Robin gets mad, she throws an apple and the apple hits the screen and blows up the screen, though Robin thinks she hit Blossom. Princess notices that Robin must be really mad at the three Powerpuff Girls.

Then, they go to the mini mart, and Robin goes inside. Robin shoplifts, because she's mad at the three Powerpuff Girls for always leaving her. Princess calls the Mayor that there's a shoplifter at the mini mart who is Robin, then Princess tells the Mayor to call The Powerpuff Girls and says that that one looks dangerous. As Robin continues shoplifting, Princess appears to stop Robin's crime.

The Powerpuff Girls quickly enter the mini mart and find that Princess has caught Robin in the act of shoplifting, with Robin tied all around in paper. Bubbles unties Robin and Buttercup says that Robin deserves a chance to tell her side of the story. Robin tells the three Powerpuff Girls the truth that she was going to steal the candy, and was so upset with them for always leaving her to go save the day. Blossom tells Robin that it's not okay to steal, plus that it's against the law to shoplift. Then, Robin lies to Princess that it was her idea to steal the candy. Princess finds out that Robin lied to her and was a thief, because of shoplifting. Robin tells Princess that they were supposed to be friends, but Princess says that she doesn't need friends and needs to be a Powerpuff Girl, and insults Robin that she's a poor dork that think's The Powerpuff Girls like her. Princess continues yelling until Robin and the three Powerpuff Girls leave and Princess tells them to come back, because she's not finished with all the talking.

Then, The Powerpuff Girls and Robin go on the swingset, and they apologize to Robin for leaving her behind all the time.
