## Plot

The episode starts at Townsville High, where Blossom and Percy were at their lockers, when Snowball, Buttercup, Art, and Bubbles came to them, "Hey guys." said Buttercup, as Blossom groaned, "Have you come to ask me about my homework again Buttercup?" she asked, while Buttercup groaned, "No!" she said defiantly, while Bubbles smiled, "I heard there's a new student coming to school today!" she said eagerly, while she held Art close, "They won't be as cute as my Arty Bear." she said, pecking his cheek, causing him to smile, blushing a bit, while Buttercup made a gagging noise to Snowball, while he chuckled, only for both of them to get laser blasted by Bubbles, who growled at the two, then went back to nuzzling Art, while they rubbed the soot off their faces, "So when did this occur?" Blossom asked, while Percy realized something, "Did they say who this new student would be?" he asked, while Art shook his head, "They said they'd be here when they could get here soon." he replied, when he remembered something, "Oh wait, I was supposed to go and get them!" he said, as he flew off, ready to go, as the others were curious, as he looked on for the student, when a girl flew in, with an athletic build to her, having red hair, with one blue eye, and another eye that was white, while having a beautiful build to her, as Percy was surprised, "Hey there." she said, while Art smiled, "Hey there." he said, smirking, "I'm Art, and I'm here to welcome you to Townsville High." he said, while the mystery teen smirked, "Nice place, name's Valkyrie, Valkyrie Newtronium, but you can call me Val, kind of prefer it actually." Val said, while Art smiled, "Noted." he said, as he showed her around the school, giving her the tour.

When they had gathered at the cafeteria, Val smirked, "Pretty nice place you got here Art." she said, while Art grinned, "Yeah, I'm kind of one of the saviors of the school and Townsville." he replied, while Val smirked, "Huh, surprising." she said, while Art rubbed the back of his head, as he took his tray, getting his food, while they took a seat next to Art, "You seem to be quite the guy Art." she said with a playful smirk, while Art smiled, "Yeah, you should have seen me when I was six." he replied, "I was a nervous wreck, especially around this girl I'm currently dating." he said, while Val smirked, chuckling a bit, "Well, you seem to be one lucky guy to have a girlfriend like that." she replied, while Art chuckled, "Yeah, I pretty much am." he replied, while he smirked, "Hey, wanna see something cool?" he asked, while Val smirked, "Alright, Mr. Cool guy, show me what you got!" she demanded playfully, while Art levitated a few tater tots from his tray, juggling them like they were a circus trick, and set them back on the tray, "Boo, at least eat them!" Val said playfully, while they chuckled playfully with each other, as Bubbles happened to notice this, catching them as she walked out of the line, as she scowled in anger, floating to them, clearing her throat, catching the two's attention, "Oh, hey Bubbles." Art said, while Bubbles was still fuming, "This is Val, she's the new student I was told about." he explained, but Bubbles was still upset, while Val smirked, "Hey Bubs." she said, "I take it you're this girlfriend that Art's been talking about?" she asked playfully, while Bubbles glared at her, "Yes, and I would appreciate it if you stopped flirting with my boyfriend!" she demanded, while Val smirked, chuckling a bit, "Dude, come on, I'm not even into him like that." she replied, while Art was surprised, much to the shock of Bubbles, "Look, I just think Art's a great guy, but he must have been really lucky to have you come into his life to begin with." she replied, while Bubbles was surprised to hear this, "Dude, come on, I wasn't even trying to flirt with the guy anyway, cause he clearly has the hots for you anyway Bubbles." she replied, while Art smiled, as Bubbles' scowl softened to a smile, as she breathed a sigh of relief, while she took her seat, next to Art, as she nuzzled him cutely, much to Art's surprise, while Buttercup and Snowball took their seats at their table, "Dude, you must be the new student here." Buttercup said, while Snowball smirked, "Name's Val." Val said, while Buttercup and Snowball smirked, "Name's Buttercup, and this here's Snowball." she replied, while they fist bumped each other, as Blossom groaned, "Must you try to influence the new girl to the school?" she asked in annoyance, "I ain't influencing her anyway Bloss!" Buttercup said, while Blossom sighed, as Percy took his seat, while Val was surprised to see him, "You must be this Percy I've heard a lot about." Val said, while Blossom smiled, "Yeah, he's quite the genius around here." she said, while Val was curious about the boy, "So, I heard you're a hero like us." Percy said, while Val just stared at him, "Care to tell us your special power?" he asked, while Val snapped out of her trance, "Yeah, I could tell you, or I could show you!" she said, while she smirked, her white eye glowing solid blue, while she glowed a golden light, and in her place, was Bubbles, causing Art to blush bright red, and Bubbles to scowl in anger, while she smirked, walking over to Art, "I bet this is something you've dreamed about, isn't it Arty Bear? she said, while Art blushed, gulping a bit of his tater tots, while Bubbles growled in frustration, while the other Bubbles smirked and started chuckling, "Dude, come on, it's just me." she said, glowing gold, turning back, "Relax, I just was demonstrating my power." she said, while Art breathed a sigh of relief, as Bubbles growled at her, holding Art close in her arms, making sure this girl knew that Art belonged to her alone, as Val cringed a bit, while Buttercup sighed, "Yeah, Bubs is protective of Art when it comes to claiming him as her boyfriend and Arty Bear." she said, only to get laser blasted in the face by her sister, while she wiped off the soot off her face, "And that's just one part of what I can do!" she said, "Check this out!" she said, as she clasped her hands together, forming a sphere of thunder, as Percy was amazed by this, while she smirked, taking the sphere of energy, and forming a rainbow portal, sending it out into space, while Art was surprised, as Val smirked, summoning several swords at once, floating in the air, as she made them spin around, as she smirked, sending them back to where they came from, while also using ice like it was nothing, as Snowball was dumbfounded, while she smirked, making it touch Snowball's neck, just to snap him out of his stupor, as he smirked, "You and me, ice fight later." he said, while Val smirked, turning into Snowball, "Only if you're ready to lose to yourself!" she said, turning back into herself, while also forming a stream of fire, then making it go back to herself, leaving an amazed Buttercup, while she summoned a spectral squirrel to her shoulder, as she chattered to it, surprising Bubbles and Art, as she smirked, "Phantom says hi by the way." she said, while Bubbles was surprised, but found the squirrel quite cute, as Val smirked, "What do ya think Percy, pretty great huh?" she asked, while Blossom found it a bit suspicious that she was talking to Percy, but paid it no mind, for now, as Percy thought about it, "Well, that is quite impressive with your powers Valkyrie." he replied, as Val smirked, "Thanks." she replied, while snacking on some of her pasta, "That's just some of what I can do." she said, blushing a bit around Percy, causing Blossom to start to wonder what Val was planning.

In science class, Blossom was taking notes on the class, while she was still suspicious of Valkyrie, as she jot down some notes from the teacher's board, "Now class, I want you to pair up with lab partners for today's experiment." the teacher said, while Blossom was curious, as Val smirked, floating towards Percy, "You wanna help me out Percy?" she asked, while Percy nodded, "Sure thing Val." he replied, while Blossom was shocked, "Blossom?" the teacher asked, "Blossom?" the teacher asked again, "Huh?" she asked, shook out of her trance, "Are you feeling alright Blossom?" asked the teacher, "Oh, um... yes, I'm fine Mr. Campos." she replied, as Mr. Campos was a bit concerned, "I was asking you if you could hand around the papers for the experiment we will be performing today." he said, "Oh, right, of course." she replied, while she went to go hand out the papers, while Val and Percy chuckled, much to Blossom's alarm, while she handed out the papers for the experiment, "No way man, I think you would need armor before going into battle." Val said, while Percy chuckled, while Blossom was a bit surprised, feeling something new to her, as she gave everyone their papers, "Now then, Blossom, if you would be so kind as to help me with my experiment." Mr. Campos asked, while Blossom shook her head, nodding, "Right, of course." she replied, while she went over to the front of the desk, "Now then, today, we're going to attempt to see what happens to metal when it is exposed to different temperatures." Mr. Campos said, "Blossom, if you would be so kind." he asked, while she snapped out of her stupor, "Oh, right." she said, "We will begin with seeing what happens when metals become extremely hot." Mr. Campos said, while Blossom was still staring at Val and Percy, while Mr. Campos looked to Blossom, "Are you okay Blossom?" he asked, when Blossom shook his head, "Oh, right." she said, "Perhaps you could help me with my experiment Blossom?" he asked, while Blossom snapped out of it, "Oh, of course." she replied, as she used her laser vision on the metal, heating it up, causing it to melt and droop, warping it to the point it wasn't recognizable, "Metals that are heated, can be molded and warped when temperatures are extremely hot." he said, while Blossom breathed a sigh of relief, as she turned to see Val smirking, using her flames to heat up the metal, using it to melt the metal, as Percy used water to cool down the metal, while Blossom started growling, her laser vision growing stronger, "Blossom!" Mr. Campos said, while Blossom realized what was going on, as she noticed that there were two holes in the sheet of metal he was holding, "Sorry Mr. Campos." she apologized, while Mr. Campos nodded, "No matter." he said, "I have several copies thanks to Art's help." he said, while Blossom smiled a bit, but inside, was worried about Val and Percy, while she saw them talking and working on the experiment, as Blossom turned to Mr. Campos, "Next, we will see what happens when metal is exposed to frigid conditions." he said, as Blossom shook herself out of her funk, "If you would be so kind Blossom." he asked, while Blossom nodded, taking a breath, and breathing out a blast of her ice breath onto the metal, as it was freezing solid completely, as Mr. Campos took the metal away from her ice breath, "Now then, as you can see, it is still in tact." he said, "But watch what happens when I do this." he said, while he tapped the piece of metal on the desk, as it broke into pieces, while Blossom noticed something odd, and saw that Val was taking, as she used her ice powers to freeze the metal solid, while they both laughed, while Blossom growled in frustration, her ice breath turning to fire, as she much to the shock of the students, as Blossom realized what she did, noticing that Mr. Campos was covered in soot, as Blossom floated to him, as he sighed, "I am quite surprised by this behavior Blossom." he said, "Let alone from one of my two star students." he said, while Blossom was surprised, "I'm so sorry Mr. Campos, I didn't mean to do that!" she said, wiping the soot off his body, as Campos sighed, "You're lucky you're one of my star students, or I would be quite upset." he said, while Blossom sighed, "I know." she said with a sigh, as she took her seat, feeling embarrassed, as she saw Val and Percy laughing with each other, while Blossom felt a bit odd for some reason, as she waited for class to be over.

After class had ended, Blossom went to her next class, but saw that Percy and Val were talking to each other, while she struggled to have her mind on what happened, as she opened her locker, groaning in annoyance, while Bubbles looked to Blossom, "Something wrong Blossom?" she asked, while Blossom groaned, "I'm fine!" she replied, while Bubbles was curious, as Blossom stormed off, not sure what was going on, when Buttercup came to Bubbles, "Man, Bloss' never been like this." she said, when Art was curious as can be, "Something's not right." he said, while Buttercup smirked, "Eh, figured it was something normal for Blossom." she replied, while Bubbles and Art weren't so sure, as they went off to their next class.

In the next class, things were going well, till Val was sitting next to Percy, which made Blossom feel anger, as she scowled, and wondered why she was feeling this way towards Valkyrie, when the bell rang, signaling the end of the day, as the class went out for the day, having Blossom left in a grumpy mood, when Art was curious, "Hey Blossom, something wrong?" Art asked, while Blossom scowled, "I'm fine!" she said, storming off, much to the concern of Art, as he floated off with the others.

As the next day came around, Blossom was feeling strange, when Art stood in front of her room, as Blossom noticed something strange, "What's going on Art?" asked Blossom, when Art sighed, "Blossom, you've been acting strange since you met Val." he replied, while Blossom shook her head, "No I haven't!" she exclaimed, while Art shook his head, "I know you Blossom, we've lived together for years since we were six, so I have picked up a few things about you from living with you and the others." he replied back, "Like how you won't let the pressure get to you, but something's been different since Val got to school." he said, while Blossom sighed, "What gave it away?" she asked, while Art smirked, "I'm not going to brag about the matchmaking skills, but I know that you're jealous about Val being with Percy." he replied, while Blossom sighed, "You're going to tell Percy aren't you?" she asked, while Art shook his head, "I won't tell him till you want him to know." he replied, while Blossom sighed, "I just feel like Val is trying to take Percy away from me, even if Percy is my boyfriend, I'm worried he'll leave me and that he would hate me if he knew what I've been thinking about Val." he said, while Art nodded, "I know you are trying to keep Percy from falling with the wrong match, but you might be jealous of Val being with Percy and getting along with her so much." he replied, while Art nodded, "I know it seems like they're getting along, but in the time I've lived with Percy, and lived here with you, I know that you can be quite a perfect pair." Art said, while Blossom thought about it, "You know what Art, you're right." she replied, "I'm worried over nothing." she said, "Thanks for the chat." she said, while Art smiled, "No problem." he said, "Besides, it doesn't take a match maker to understand how someone is feeling." he said, when his stomach growled, "Now let's get some breakfast, before Buttercup and Snowball devour it all." he said, while Blossom smirked, "Now that, we can agree on." she said, while they floated off to the kitchen, going to get some breakfast from their family.

As they got to school, Blossom smiled, feeling more confident in herself, as she took a breath, and walked into the school, heading to her locker, when she caught Val in her sights, as she took a breath, "It's okay Blossom, just don't be jealous." she said to herself, as she opened her locker, finding her supplies, when she saw Percy, "Hey Blossom." Percy said, while Blossom smiled, "Hi Percy." she replied, while Percy smiled, "Glad to see you're not feeling like you were yesterday." he said, while Blossom smiled, rubbing the back of her head, "Yeah, sorry about that." she said, while Percy smirked, "No harm done, in fact, Mr. Campos wasn't even harmed by the flame breath you had earlier." he explained, earning a sigh of relief from Blossom, "That's a relief." she said, while they both chuckled, when Val came to them, as she smiled, "Hey Percy, glad you could make it!" she said, while she smiled, putting her arm around his shoulders, as Blossom saw this, she soon scowled in frustration, blasting Val into the wall with her laser eyes, shocking everyone, including Percy, as Val got up, "Dude, what's your problem?" she asked, while Blossom's anger manifested in a pink energy aura flame, her eyes seething with anger, as her anger seethed in fury, while Val stood back up, "Oh, you don't wanna start a fight with me Blossom!" Val said, "Cause I'm ready for a good brawl, any time!" she said, charging up her hands with thunder in her hands, charging at Blossom, while the two fought it out, as Blossom delivered a swift punch to Val's stomach, while Val smirked, pulling Blossom's ponytail, hurling her into a wall, as she pulled herself back up, scowling, as she used her ice breath to freeze Val in place, but she melted the ice with her flames, while Blossom scowled, while Percy was shocked, surprised by this, as he saw the fight unfold, as Blossom formed an energy stapler, firing energy staples and holding Val in place, scowling, "Nice trick Bloss." Val said, smirking, as she manifested an evergreen energy construct, forming it into a Viking armor, with a war hammer, ready, breaking free of the staples, as Blossom scowled, switching her energy constructs to form pushpin blades, as they charged in, ready to fight, while they both kept the other at bay, Blossom with her pushpins blades, while Val tried to land a blow on Blossom, but was blocked and held at bay, but Blossom wasn't about to give up, as she kept at her, while Val switched her weapons to swords, as they dueled with their weapons, fighting each other, much to the spectacle of the students in building, who were watching the fight, while Percy watched on, worried for Blossom, as she dueled Val, scowling with anger, "You won't take Percy from me!" Blossom exclaimed, pushing Val back, while she scowled, "Dude, you're getting jealous of me being with Percy, so let it go!" she demanded, while Blossom scowled, "Never!" she declared, while she pushed Val back, while Val growled in anger, as Blossom was ready to fight, as was Val, as he watched on, while the two charged at each other, ready to finish the other off, when Percy flew in, getting between the two of them, groaning, "ENOUGH!!!!!!" Percy exclaimed, holding both Blossom and Valkyrie at bay, as they both were shocked, to see this, while Buttercup groaned in annoyance, "Boo!" she said, "Killjoy!" Snowball exclaimed, as the crowd went away, back to whatever area they were going to, while Percy sighed, "I'm not dating you Valkyrie!" he declared to her, much to Val's shock, "Say what?" she asked, while he took Blossom's hand, as she smiled, "I'm dating Blossom currently, and I wasn't planning on changing that anytime soon." he said, while Val was in shock, "But, you're the first guy I even remotely liked around here." Val said, on the verge of tears, while Percy sighed, "I know that you're in love with me, but it's not real love." he said, "Part of my special power is Aphrodite, who grants my power of charming any woman I meet." he said, while Val was confused, "Wait, hang on, you mean to tell me that I was forced to be crazy for you?" she asked, while Percy sighed, "It's not a portion of my power I can turn on and off." he replied, "I can't even control it when I talk to a girl." he said, "But Blossom has been the only one who has been unaffected by that side of my power." he explained, while Val just fell to her knees, as she started tearing up, "I can't believe I was forced into liking someone!" she said, fighting back the tears, while Blossom realized this, "I had no idea you had that side to your powers." she said, as Percy nodded, "It's both a gift and a curse." he said, while Blossom sighed, walking over to Valkyrie, while she looked up to her, tears filling her eyes, "I guess I haven't been welcoming as I could have been, given how you're still new here." she said, offering to help her up, as Val took her hand, wiping the tears away from her eyes, "I hope we could at least be friends and start over again." she proposed, while Val smirked, "Eh, sure, why not." she said, a bit crestfallen, "Though I am still kind of jealous of having to deal with you having a guy like Percy and the others having their boys." she admitted, while Buttercup thought of something, "Speaking of which, where is Art anyway?" she asked, while Bubbles came to the scene, ready to beat her sister into the ground at the mention of her boyfriend's name, but she too wondered where he was, when Art was walking with a teenager in the hallway, "You know, it's kind of surprising that you're actually a hero like me, my brothers, and our girlfriends, um..." Art said, while the teen looked to him, "The name's Tyson Daniels, but you can call me Tyson, much rather that than Ty." he said, while Val noticed Tyson, and felt something strange to her, walking over to them, "Hey Arty, who's this?" she asked, while Buttercup braced for the attack, but noticed that Bubbles wasn't doing anything, surprising her sister, "Oh sure, when I call him Arty or Arty Bear, you punch me right into the stratosphere, but when Val does it, you don't even do anything about it." she said, as Bubbles simply smirked, "Cause I know that Val isn't going to try and take Art from me anyway!" she said, as Buttercup groaned in annoyance, while Art smiled, "This is Tyson Daniels, he just started here, and is a new student I'm showing around the school." he explained, while he gestured towards Tyson, "Tyson, this is Valkyrie, but we call her Val." he explained, while Val and Tyson stared at each other, in mute silence, surprised by the other, while Art realized something, "I think that you two might make a great pair." he said, "Maybe go out to dinner later to see how things go." he said, "Just mention my name, you'll get the best seats in the restaurant." he said, while Val smirked, "You wanting to give this a shot Ty?" she asked, while Tyson smirked, "Yeah, I think I could make it work for this." he replied, while they went off, as they were heading towards their classes, while Art smiled, dusting off his hands, "Another satisfied match made." he said confidently, much to the annoyance of Snowball, "I really need to stop encouraging him to do things to prove me wrong." he said to himself, while Bubbles smiled, hugging Art close to her, "You always have the best match making skills sweetie." she said, snuggling Art in her arms, while Buttercup pretended to gag to Snowball, while Snowball chuckled, only to get a slap to the back of the head from Percy, much to their annoyance, as Blossom smiled, glad to have new friends in their lives, and potential new allies to their team, and with that, our episode ends here.
