To do:

get groceries

forget to wash socks

save the world

keep the leaning tower of Pisa from falling

brush teeth

buy new sneaker

come with older sister to Gramps' house

Sofia glanced down her to-do list. Should she get new sneakers before saving the world? Good idea. Sure, the list did lack some kind of credibility but it was all in the job description. Or, at least in the Superhero Federation Manual. You got that right: Superhero Federation. Sofia's job was to keep evil at bay while keeping her identity a secret (just like all superheroes). She was called the slink, with a bit of a rip-off of an outfit: a tight black bodysuit. She would have made it snazzier, like her sister's bright pink and green striped suit WITH absorbent cape. God! Her sister Zoey was also a Super and was lightning fast and virtually indestructible. So far Sofia had managed her laser eyes, but still had to work on her speed and strength (a bit of a let-down after her sister had managed them ay-sap!). Oops, I forgot to mention the part that she was actually a Super-villain. Let's re-write that to-do list:

get groceries

forget to wash socks

buy new sneakers

take over the world only to be stopped by sister

knock over the leaning tower of Pisa

brush teeth

Mum and Dad were Normals, so Zoey couldn't tell on her. They had such a good act up; you'd think they only fought over possession of the remote control. She grinned. All her attempts to take over the world had been thwarted by little sissy Zoey. Obedient little Zoey. Well, her older sister, but what difference did that make? Zoey was still soooo immature.

Next on her list: buy sneakers. Last time, they had melted and left her to walk home barefoot (the socks melted too). The shoes had to be jade and silver, the colors which were supposed to be hers but the Super Federation had just given her a black uniform anyway. This time, she made sure they were burn-proof.

Now she had bought her sneakers, time to plan this attempt at world domination. Frostbite? No, Zoey knew that by heart. Sofia decided to go with the simplest plan.

An hour later, she was holding the most important people on earth in the gym of her school. She picked up her total-PA system (made by her trusty side-kick) and shouted.

"I hold your leaders in my hands. Surrender or Die!"

And right on time came the oh-so-annoying whooshing noise from that reality-blind, over-obedient Zoey's cape, as Zoey cam to ruin her plans again. Couldn't she just get a life? Why wouldn't she?

"Long time no see" sneered Zoey.

"Only if you consider about two hours a long time. Of course, you just love to be dramatic, sissy." replied Sofia, not bothering to hide her annoyance.

"Can't you see how well I could run this place? Can't you get out and let me succeed for once?" she shouted, her voice getting hysterical.

Without answering, Zoey whisked up the leaders to return them to their original places, leaving behind Sofia and the school.

Whatever happened, she still had one more thing to do. She zoomed off to Italy, checking for Zoey all the way. No sign of her. She ran faster, faster, faster, until…BAM! She figured she was going about four hundred when she leaped towards the tower and hit.

No matter how fast she had been going, some unnatural force had kept it from toppling over completely. Luckily, she had that whole indestructible thing going for her, considering how she landed. Unfortunately, she hadn't succeeded. Holding up the tower was—wait! She didn't recognize that guy! It wasn't Zoey! She stared until she came up with who it was. It was—GRAMPS! She had to run, and fast! She paused quickly to check off her to-do list. She was done—and done for if she couldn't make it.
